The Ministry of Rituals preliminarily drew up the day for the Empress Dowager Ceremony, which was on the eighth day of May, which was Concubine Li's birthday, and the Empress Dowager Ceremony was held on this day, which was of great significance.

It is now mid-March, and there is still one month to go until the closing ceremony.

Luo Lan brought three children to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet the emperor. Among the three children, the emperor loves An An the most. She is not only beautiful, but also attractive. The emperor couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Although Huaiyu is older and smarter, he is always taciturn and not good at speaking, and because of his father, the emperor tends to ignore him, so he is very indifferent to the emperor.

Lele has a stubborn personality, he doesn't like to say nice things to please others, this is more like his father Leng Yu, the reason why he agreed to enter the palace is just to see the excitement in the palace.

After Luo Lan took the three of them to greet the emperor, they went out with an excuse. The emperor called An An to go to him without accident.

"Can you play chess? Play a game with Grandpa Huang?"

An An pursed her small mouth and nodded,

"A little bit, but I always lose to my younger brother. If I lose later, I will let my younger brother play with Grandpa Huang. He is very good at chess."

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

"Okay, you play a game with Grandpa Huang first."

As he spoke, Eunuch Liu set up the chessboard, and An An sat in a serious manner opposite the emperor, and began to play against him.

Huaiyu and An An stood quietly on the side. Originally, An An wanted to go to the back garden with his mother, but his mother said that he had to stay here with Grandpa Huang for a while, otherwise he would not be taken to the back garden. .

Helpless, he can only watch these two people who are extremely poor for him play chess, and look around from time to time.

Huaiyu is different, he is not interested in playing chess, he is best at practicing martial arts, therefore, Grandpa likes him more now, because he is quite good at practicing martial arts.

After settling the three children, Luo Lan thought for a while outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In order to find out the ingredients contained in the medicine that Concubine Li gave the emperor, she had to find a way to find the small pills that the emperor took.

Just as she was about to go to the imperial pharmacy to inquire, she ran into two young eunuchs who were coming.

One of them was holding a tray and was about to step into the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

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

When the two little father-in-laws 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 dare not delay."

medicine?

Could it be that little pill?

After she glanced at the tray, she pretended to be unintentional and said seriously:

"What kind of medicine is this? I heard that Concubine Li Gui and Lord Xi have prepared special medicine for the emperor. How dare you give the emperor these messy medicines?"

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

"If you go back to Wangfei, this is the medicine delivered by Concubine Li Gui. You don't come to the palace often, so you may not know that this medicine is delivered by the two of us every day. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes."

Is this the little pill?Luo Lan suddenly had an idea that there was nowhere to find it, and it would take no effort to get it.

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

"The three young ladies and the young master of Prince Yu's Mansion are playing chess with the emperor. It is inconvenient to be disturbed. Give me this medicine, and I will take it in."

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

"Wang Concubine, Concubine Li Gui said that this pill must be handed over to the Emperor in person, and watched by the Emperor to take it. Otherwise, if something happens, we cannot bear the responsibility."

Luo Lan raised her eyes lightly, frowned and said angrily:

"Are you still afraid that I won't be able to steal it? This is the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. What do you have to worry about?"

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

If money can turn ghosts, there will be no mistakes at any time. Although the little eunuch dare not disobey Concubine Li's will, he is still moved by this ingot of silver.

So, he stuffed the silver into his cuff, bowed and replied:

"Then there will be Princess Lao, and the slave will go back and return."

Seeing this, another little eunuch wanted to stop him, but was dragged away by this little eunuch.

After getting the tray with the small pills, a sharp look appeared in Luo Lan's eyes.

She lifted the bowl on the tray, and there was a black pill the size of a thumb, which looked normal.

In order not to be discovered, she only picked off the medicine residue the size of a grain of rice on it, then closed the bowl again, brought it in intact and handed it to the eunuch inside.

At this time, An An had just lost two rounds to the emperor, she was pouting and waving to Lele,

"Brother, Grandpa Huang's chess skills are very high. Come and play two games with him."

Lele stood where she was, shaking her head unhappily,

"No."

The emperor frowned, looking at him rather puzzled,

"Since you will come down, why don't you come down? Are you unwilling to accompany me?"

Lele hurriedly clasped her fists and bowed back:

"No, although Lele can play chess, he may not be able to win the Grandpa Huang. Instead of making a fool of himself in front of Grandpa Huang, it's better not to make a move."

"Hahaha……"

His words made the emperor laugh out loud. After laughing, he waved to Lele and said:

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

After Lele's big crystal eyes flickered a few times, she shook her head vigorously.

"I don't want you to give up the chess pieces. If Grandpa Huang insists on playing, why don't we make a gentleman's bet. If you win one game, you let me do whatever you want; on the other hand, if I win three games in a row, you will be free." How about an item I want to bestow on you?"

Lele's words aroused the emperor's interest in an instant. He looked at him, then took a look at himself, and asked with doubts in his eyes:

"Which item do you want from me?"

Lele mischievously blinked a few times, pursed her small mouth, and said crisply:

"Any item is fine, but you have to decree that no matter what mistakes the person who owns this item has made, you can't punish him."

"Hahaha……"

The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, he waved his hands, nodded contemptuously, reached out to pick up a jade pendant at his waist, half-closed his eyes, and said disdainfully:

"Okay, I'm young and my tone is not small, how about this! You don't need to win three rounds and one round, I will give you this jade pendant, seeing it is like seeing me, how about it?"

The emperor didn't think that this loud-mouthed kid would win against him. His chess skills were not something to be boasted about. Since he was a child, he had been able to play chess well, and this was the only thing he could show off to others when he was young.

If it weren't for this good chess move, how could he have won the favor of the first emperor, so at this moment, he felt that this big talker Lele made him a little bored.

He doesn't like others to brag in front of him, and he doesn't like being overwhelmed.

Seeing that the emperor agreed to use the jade pendant as a bet, Lele stepped forward with her head held high, and sat upright in the seat An An had just given him.

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

"Your Majesty, the medicine is here, do you want to take it now?"
