Chapter 502 Appreciating Lotus
The emperor came to appreciate the flowers, which was when some officials were flattering. Therefore, when the emperor and his group arrived at the lotus pond, they were already full of officials from all over the capital, including some ministers in the court.
When the emperor and Concubine Li walked off the carriage, everyone knelt down and saluted.
"The emperor is lucky."
The emperor stroked his forehead gently. He felt a little dizzy when he was jogging in the car just now.
Seeing these people kneeling in front of him, he waved his hand with a frown, "Get up! You don't have to be too polite when you go out, where is the magistrate of Shangyuan?"
After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another.
Because this place is under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan County outside the city, the emperor specifically mentioned the officials of Shangyuan County.
Seeing the emperor mentioning that Lord Chen of Shangyuan County hurriedly bowed his body to speak kindly,
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to appreciate the flowers. I have ordered people to clean up the place three times. Now is the time when the lotus is blooming, and the fish in the pond are swimming happily. You are here at the right time. In the pavilion ahead, I have ordered people to prepare refreshments. Please..."
Lord Chen probably was eager to seek merit, so he said a lot in one breath. After hearing this, the emperor nodded calmly, "Well, it's really hot this day, prepare some herbal tea for me."
After saying that, he followed a bluestone path and headed straight to the pavilion in front, surrounded by everyone.
Concubine Li followed the emperor, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, and exclaimed from time to time.
"Your Majesty, you look at that one, it's so beautiful."
Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand directly to Lord Chen.
"Pick it up, the empress likes it."
Upon hearing this, Lord Chen hurriedly bowed and replied:
"I will pick it now, Empress wait..."
Concubine Li pretended to be regretful and was squeezing there.
"Your Majesty, it's a pity to pick it up. Let it stay there."
"What a pity? This flower is for people to appreciate. Only by picking it back and raising it in your hibiscus palace can it show its nobility. Otherwise, it will be unknown in this pond forever."
The emperor's words seemed to make a little sense. Concubine Li chuckled proudly:
"Thank you for appreciating the flowers by the emperor. I am very happy today."
"Well, just like it. As long as Mengmeng, you like it, I will give it to you all the stars in the sky."
The emperor's words were filled with a doting atmosphere, and the concubine Li who was walking on the other side felt like she was choking in her throat.
She followed the emperor with a pale face. Why has she never had such an honor before?
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Concubine Li happened to look at her at this moment, and then chuckled at her proudly. In her opinion, this was a provocative smile.
After the emperor walked to the pavilion, he felt a little breathing, so he hurriedly said to Liu Xi:
"Hurry, get me medicine."
Liu Xi hurriedly presented the pills, and then a little eunuch brought a glass of water.
Seeing the emperor taking the small pill, Luo Lan and Leng Yu's brows tightened together, and a look of unknown meaning appeared in Li Fei's eyes.
After taking a pill, the emperor felt much more energetic in an instant. He waved his hand to Leng Xi, who was standing not far away, and said:
"Xi'er, I've taken this medicine more and more frequently recently. You have to get more and bring it to you."
Seeing this, Leng Xi hurriedly stepped forward two steps and bowed and replied:
"My son obeys the order, please rest assured. Mr. Mr. will definitely make more preparations to ensure the daily needs of his father."
After the emperor waved his hand, he said to Concubine Li:
"I'll take a rest here for a while. Please let Princess Yu accompany you to enjoy the flowers."
After saying this, he looked at Luo Lan again,
"Princess Yu, Concubine Li is pregnant and has shown signs of dysfunction. You must ensure her safety and must not let her make any mistakes."
The emperor's words immediately made Luo Lan feel like she was being driven to the shelves.
But in front of so many people, the emperor handed over this task to her, how could she dare to refute it?
So, she bowed helplessly and said:
"Don't worry, my father, I will do my best to take care of Concubine Li and never let her make any mistakes."
After the emperor nodded, he waved his hand again:
"Where is Lele, let him play chess with me..."
Lele's chess skills are better than him. Although he barely won a game with Lele yesterday, he felt that Lele's last chess piece was randomly dropped and was intentionally losing to him.
He was the emperor of Daning Kingdom and wanted a six-year-old child to humble him? It was somewhat embarrassing to say this.
He must win a game back and win this kid.
Lele hid behind Luo Lan and pinched the corner of her clothes with a little aggrieved.
Although he really wanted to play, but Grandpa of the Emperor wanted to play chess, he could only pursed his lips and reluctantly came to the opposite side of the Emperor to sit down. Looking at the two boxes of chess pieces, he felt annoyed.
Luo Lan knew what he was thinking, so she winked at him and said softly:
"Lele, play chess with Grandpa Emperor. Mom will take you there to see the little fish."
"Oh, I got it."
Although Lele was reluctant, he knew that Grandpa Huang could not disobey the orders.
An An and Huaiyu happily held hands and ran to see the lotus. Xiaobao hated the most was An An. Seeing Lele playing chess with the emperor, he thought about it, he greeted Yu Qiaoqiao and ran towards An An and Huaiyu.
"Xiaobao..."
Yu Qiaoqiao called him, but she couldn't stop him. She was afraid that Xiaobao would suffer losses, so she didn't care about others and followed her quickly.
Luo Lan was not worried about Huaiyu and An An. She had already told her what she should give before she came. I guess they wouldn't do anything out of order. Besides, Yu Qiaoqiao followed her, and she, an adult, would never have a dispute with her three children.
Thinking of this, she owed to Concubine Li and said:
"Empress Li, please come here."
After Concubine Li hugged her and chuckled, she was supported by the girl and walked towards the garden.
Concubine Li's face was always ashen, but it was not revealed because she was in front of everyone.
Seeing that Concubine Li and Luo Lan went to enjoy the flowers together, she also said to the girl beside her in anger:
"Let's go over there and have a look..."
It would be fine if the emperor didn't care about her, but he also asked Princess Yu to accompany Concubine Li, for fear that she would make any mistakes, so he would not hesitate to repeat the instructions.
And she was angry even if she didn't even accompany her daughter-in-law Yu Qiaoqiao. She looked down on Concubine Li, but she didn't expect that she was such a scheming person who could coax the emperor to dote on her. It seemed that she should do something.
Luo Lan accompanied Concubine Li to wander by the pond full of lotus flowers. Looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, she was still thinking about the little pill the emperor had eaten.
The emperor is now too poisoned, and it is unlikely that he will quit.
But if he keeps eating like this, he will become terminally ill in less than a year and die in the end.
By then, if the position of the prince has not been established, it will undoubtedly cause a war.
She was even more worried that Leng Xi would take advantage of the emperor's ignorance and ask the emperor to make the emperor's will to enthrone him as the new emperor. Then, then the country of Daning will be in chaos.
