The Ministry of Rites preliminarily formulated the date of the post-closure ceremony, which is the eighth day of the fifth month, which is the birthday of Concubine Li, and the post-sealing ceremony will be held on this day, which is of great significance.

It's mid-March, and there's still a month to go before the post-lockdown ceremony.

Luo Lan took the three children to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to greet the emperor, among the three children, the emperor's favorite is An An, she is not only beautiful, but also likeable, the most important thing is that she has a sweet mouth, and always coaxes the emperor to close his mouth.

Although Huaiyu is older and smarter, he is always silent and not good at words, and the emperor ignores him because of his father, so he is very cold to the emperor.

Lele has a stubborn temperament, he doesn't like to say good things to please others, which is more similar to his father Leng Yu, the reason why he agreed to enter the palace is to come to the palace to see the excitement.

After Luo Lan took the three of them to the emperor to say goodbye, he went out under the pretext, and the emperor unexpectedly beckoned An An to go to his side.

"Do you know how to play chess? Play a game with the emperor's grandfather? ”

An An pursed her small mouth and nodded,

"I know a little, but I always lose to my younger brother, and if I lose, I will let my younger brother play with the emperor's grandfather, he is very good at chess."

Hearing that Lele is good at chess, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Lele, and then nodded,

"Okay, you accompany the imperial grandfather to the next game first."

As he spoke, Gonggong Liu put on the chessboard, and An An sat opposite the emperor in a serious manner and began to play against him.

Huaiyu and An An stood quietly on the side, originally An An wanted to follow his mother to the back garden, but his mother said that he had to stay here for a while with the emperor's grandfather, otherwise he wouldn't take him to the back garden.

Helpless, he could only watch these two people who were extremely poor for him play chess, and from time to time he would look left and right.

Huaiyu is different, he is not interested in playing chess, what he is best at is practicing martial arts, so his grandfather likes him more now, because he is still more proficient in martial arts.

After settling the three children, Luo Lan thought for a while outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, in order to find the ingredients contained in the medicine that Concubine Li gave to the emperor, she had to find a way to find the small pill that the emperor ate.

Just as she was about to go to the imperial pharmacy to inquire, she met the two little eunuchs who came to her.

One of them was carrying a tray and was about to step into the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, when Luo Lan saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"The emperor is not available now, and besides, it's not lunch time yet, what are you getting?"

When the two little fathers-in-law saw Luo Lan, they hurriedly bowed and saluted,

"Princess Yu, this is the medicine that the emperor must take every day, no matter how busy the emperor is, he will not dare to delay."

Medicine?

Could it be that this is the little pill?

She glanced at the tray, and then pretended to be unintentional:

"What kind of medicine is this? I heard that Concubine Li and Lord Xi prepared special medicine for the emperor, how dare you take these messy medicines for the emperor? ”

Hearing her tone a little stiff, the two little eunuchs hurriedly bowed down, and one of them replied timidly:

"Back to the princess, this is the medicine sent by Concubine Li, you don't come to the palace often, you may not know, this pill is sent by the two of us every day, you can rest assured, there will be no mistakes."

Is this the little pill? Luo Lan suddenly had the idea that he had no place to find his iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

She shook the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said with rolling eyes:

"The three young ladies and sons of Yuwangfu are playing chess with the emperor, and it is inconvenient to be disturbed, give me this medicine, and I will take it in."

Seeing that she was about to come to pick up the tray, the little eunuch hurriedly took a few steps back,

"Princess, Concubine Li said that this pill must be handed over to the emperor in person, and watch the emperor take it, otherwise something will happen, and we can't afford this responsibility."

Luo Lan's eyes were lightly raised, and he frowned and said angrily with displeasure:

"Are you still afraid that I won't be able to steal it? This is the entrance to the Heart Cultivation Palace, what do you have to worry about? ”

When she said this, the moment she went to pick up the tray, she handed a piece of silver directly from under the tray to the little eunuch.

If money can make ghosts grind, it will not be wrong at any time, although the little eunuch did not dare to disobey Concubine Li's will, but touching this ingot of silver, he was still moved.

So he tucked the silver into his cuffs, bowed and replied:

"Then there will be Princess Lao, and the slave will go back to his life."

Seeing this, the other little eunuch wanted to stop it again, so he was directly pulled away by this little eunuch.

Getting this tray with small pills, a sharp gaze suddenly appeared in Luo Lan's eyes.

She lifted the bowl from the tray, revealing a black pill the size of a thumb, which didn't look out of the ordinary.

In order not to be discovered, she only picked off the residue the size of a millet grain on it, and then buckled the bowl back on, and brought it in untouched and handed it to her father-in-law inside.

At this time, An An had just lost two games to the emperor, and she was pouting and waving her hand at Lele.

"Brother, Grandpa Huang's chess skills are very high, you can accompany him to play two games."

Lele stood in place, shaking his head a little unwillingly,

"No, no."

The emperor frowned and looked at him puzzled,

"If you can go down, why not? Are you unwilling to accompany me? ”

Lele hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed and replied:

"No, although Lele can play chess, he may not be able to win the emperor's grandfather, rather than making a fool of himself in front of the emperor's grandfather, it is better not to do it."

"Hahaha......"

His words caused the emperor to laugh, and after laughing, he waved his hand to Lele and said:

"Then try the next game, how about I let you have a car and a shot?"

Lele's big crystal eyes flickered a few times, and then shook his head vigorously,

"I don't want you to let the chess pieces, if the imperial grandfather insists on playing, let's have a gentleman's bet, if you win a game with me, you can let me do anything; Conversely, if I win you three times in a row, how about you give you an item? ”

Lele's words made the emperor instantly interested, he looked at him, looked at his body again, and asked with doubts in his eyes:

"What do you want from me?"

Lele blinked his eyes mischievously, pursed his mouth, and said crisply:

"You can do anything, but you have to decree that whoever owns it can't punish him for any mistake."

"Hahaha......"

The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, he waved his hand, nodded quite contemptuously, reached out and picked up a piece of jade pendant on his waist, half-squinted his eyes, and said disdainfully:

"Okay, at a young age, the tone is not small, so be it! You don't need to win three games, win one game, and I will give you this jade pendant, how about seeing it as if you were seeing me? ”

The emperor didn't think that this very loud kid would win him, his chess skills were not touted, since he was a child, he played a good chess hand, and this was the only place where he could show off with others when he was a child.

If it weren't for this good chess hand, where would he be able to get the love of the emperor, so at this time, he felt that this big-talking Lele was a little annoyed with him.

He doesn't like people to brag about in front of him, and he doesn't like to be overwhelmed.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to make the jade pendant a bet, Lele stepped forward with his head held high, and sat straight in the position that An An had just given him.

Seeing this, Liu Xi stepped forward again, carefully set up the chessboard, and reminded in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the medicine has been delivered, can you take it now?"
