The Emperor had fasted today, and he had no interest in the delicious food before him, instead opting to drink continuously.
Suddenly recalling something, he asked, "Why hasn't Imperial Consort Sun attended the feast today?"
Zhang Lanyi, with a smile, replied, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Imperial Consort's sister is about to give birth. The weather is very hot today, so I took the liberty of excusing her from the banquet to spare her any distress that might harm the treasure in her womb."
The Emperor, reminded of the potential heir Prince in Sun Lianyi's womb, was very pleased and a smile curled his lips.
Praising himself for still being virile in his old age, the fact that Sun Lianyi was about to give birth proved he still had the virility of a man.
"I have indeed become forgetful, forgetting such an event," he said, beckoning with his hand, "Take some delicacies from the banquet and send them to the Imperial Consort to satisfy her cravings."
