Luo Lan raised his hand, and a small particle appeared in front of them. Just when they were puzzled, Luo Lan continued:

"Poppy shells are added to this bowl of soup..."

"Poppy shell? I heard you say last time that this thing is in the little pill of immortality. It is an easily addictive drug. In this case, Concubine Li is really doing her old trick again."

Luo Lan thought Leng Yu's question was normal. She straightened her expression and reiterated:

"I just said that this is a poppy shell, not a poppy. There is a big difference between them."

"What difference can there be? Aren't they all poison?"

Luo Lan shook his head and explained again:

"Drugs made from poppy are the liquid picked from the fruit of the poppy when it is immature. The poison made from it is very toxic and will become addictive when people come into contact with it. The poppy shell is the water in the poppy fruit that has evaporated.

, remove the poppy seeds inside and leave the shell. This kind of thing is a medicinal material that can be taken in small doses. Some people also take the risk of using it to make dishes and soups. It can play a role in increasing freshness, but it is easily addictive.

, Eunuch Liu should try his best to let his father drink soup with these special things as little as possible!"

Liu Xi's face looked a little ugly. He stood there, thought for a while, and said nervously:

"Should I mention this to the Emperor?"

"It's useless to mention it. Concubine Li can quibble and say it's just to add freshness to the soup, which makes sense."

Liu Xi sighed and slowly shook his head,

"Then is there any way to stop the emperor from continuing to drink the soup sent by Concubine Li? The emperor is now addicted to this soup."

This question caused the three people present to fall into deep thought. After a while, A Cai hurriedly walked in. When she saw the three people standing there thinking about something, she lowered her head timidly and said in a low voice:

"Princess...Princess, the kitchen is saying that the soup the prince ordered has been boiled for you...to drink it while it's hot. This servant is here to ask you, are you bringing it now?"

Soup?

Luo Lan looked at Liu Xi as if he had thought of something, and said slightly excitedly:

"By the way, if we want to prevent the emperor from continuing to drink the soup sent by Concubine Li, we can treat her as a human being and let the emperor drink a soup that is more delicious than the soup sent by Concubine Li..."

this……

Leng Yu nodded in agreement, but Liu Xi got into trouble.

"The emperor has had enough of the soup cooked by the royal chef in the palace. If not, he would not have become addicted to the soup sent by Concubine Li. Where can I get more delicious soup?"

Luo Lan did not answer his words, but changed the topic and asked:

"How is Concubine Li now?"

Liu Xi also answered truthfully:

"She is very stable. She often goes to greet the emperor and never mentions letting the emperor spend the night in her Furong Palace. She must have thought about it and doesn't want to fight anymore."

Luo Lan nodded as if thinking of something,

"Well, I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet Concubine Li. Since Concubine Li can make delicious soup, why can't Concubine Li?"

"What does Princess Yu mean?"

Liu Xi looked at her with puzzled eyes, then shook his head,

"Concubine Li doesn't seem to know how to cook, otherwise she would have been so attentive."

"It's okay, I can teach her if she doesn't, and I'll make sure the emperor becomes addicted to her soup..."

Hearing this, Liu Xi looked at Luo Lan with surprised eyes,

"This...Won't Princess Yu also add any condiments that shouldn't be added to the soup?"

"what do you think?"

Luo Lan playfully winked at Liu Xi. Liu Xi nodded and said with a smile:

"I'm just joking. Other slaves don't understand me. I can really see the character of you and your wife. Then Princess Laoyu is responsible for this."

"Don't worry, you can go back. Tomorrow night, the emperor will be sure to have delicious soup."

Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu and blinked slyly, while Leng Yu smiled helplessly.

After seeing off Eunuch Liu, the two of them were walking to the backyard. Leng Yu couldn't help but ask:

"Madam, do you have any secrets? Tell me."

"What's the secret? Making soup is just a matter of adding more seasonings."

"Then when will my wife make a bowl of soup with seasoning for my husband to try? We have been together for several years. Except for the past few years, I occasionally had the opportunity to eat the dishes cooked by my wife. In recent years, I have not had the chance to eat them.

Got through."

"Why haven't you eaten before? I even cooked last month. Besides, there are several cooks in the house, why do you need me to cook by myself? I have so many things to do, how can I have time to hang around the kitchen?"

Leng Yu took Luo Lan's hand, smiled and nodded,

"My lady's words make sense. Your hands are used to save lives and heal the wounded. How can you go to the kitchen? However, I still want to know what method you want to use to deal with Concubine Li?"

"Secrets must not be revealed."

Luo Lan blinked mysteriously at Leng Yu. Seeing Leng Yu coming to the children, he stopped asking questions.

"Children, did you do what mother said?"

The four children who were sitting around under the peach blossom tree quickly looked towards them, then stood up and gathered around.

Huaiyu was the first to say:

"Mom, I can recite the ancient poems you taught me, but I still want to get more familiar with them."

Luo Lan touched his head and nodded happily,

"Well, good job, where is An An?"

An An hurriedly shook the long sleeves in her hands and raised her eyebrows proudly.

"Mom, I have learned the dance you taught me, but there is something I am not familiar with. Please teach me again later."

"Okay, An'an is also doing well. Let's practice again later."

She shifted her gaze to Lele, who raised his head proudly,

"Mom, you taught Lele how to write a few big characters. Lele is also good at writing. Lele will definitely make dad and mom look good."

Luo Lan praised Lele again:

"Lele's performance is also good."

Yicheng lowered his head with a sense of inferiority, Leng Yu hurriedly said with concern:

"Yicheng, although you can't go to the palace this time, my adoptive father promises you that we will come back to accompany you soon."

Yicheng shook his head vigorously, looked up at Leng Yu, pursed his lips and said:

"Father, Yicheng doesn't dare to expect to enter the palace. Yicheng is where he is today thanks to the kindness of you and his adoptive mother. How can Yicheng dare to have other ideas? Yicheng is waiting for you to come back at home."

Although he said this, both Luo Lan and Leng Yu could see that he was a little disappointed.

After all, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Prince Yu's palace would be deserted, and he must be feeling very sad.

But Yicheng knew in his heart that the emperor would not allow a child with no name and status like him to enter the palace. It was his adoptive father and adoptive mother who were particularly kind to him by allowing him to live in Prince Yu's Mansion with the surname Liu.

How could he dare to think otherwise?

Luo Lan touched his head and comforted him slowly:

"Yicheng, in this family, except that you can't go to the palace to meet the saint like the three of them, everything else is the same. In a few days, your adoptive father and I will find a martial arts master for you. At that time, you and

If they practice Kung Fu together, you will all become indomitable people and make Prince Yu's Palace famous all over the world in the future, do you understand?"

Yi Cheng's eyes showed excitement, and he nodded eagerly,

"Don't worry, stepmother, Yicheng will not let you down."

Ever since Yicheng came to Prince Yu's Mansion, Luo Lan could see that he was a smart and studious child. He not only knew how to be humble, but also knew how to take the overall situation into consideration. Even if they had some minor conflicts, he could resolve them in time.

This made her feel very happy.

Because Yicheng particularly cherished this rare opportunity, he tried his best to be a sensible child and try not to let others hate him. He knew better than anyone else that he had a special status and it was right for Prince Yu and Princess Yu to take him in.

His great gift, even if these children bully him, he will not care. What's more, like their parents, they are kind children. He has been here for a few days, and they have always given way to him.

I have never bullied myself. Except for differences when playing a certain game, they get along very well.
