Judging from the emperor's posture and steps, he doesn't look like a person who has just recovered from a long illness. Instead, he looks a bit like he did before he got sick.

Of course, all this is Luo Lan's credit. During this period, he added many nutritional drugs to the emperor's medicine to enhance his body's resistance, otherwise the emperor's body would not have recovered so quickly.

Concubine Li followed behind the emperor, and when she passed by Luo Lan, she did not forget to nod and smile at her.

Concubine Li's face remained sullen until the emperor and everyone left, and then the maid came forward and helped her up.

She angrily shook off the girl's hand, looked at those who left, narrowed her eyes, and said hatefully:

"Princess Yu again, did I have a grudge against you in my past life?"

"My lady, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, please don't be angry."

Concubine Li glanced at the maid beside her, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said in a haughty and cold voice:

"Humph! Why should I be so angry..."

After muttering these words, she rolled her eyes, swung her sleeves, and walked in the direction the crowd left.

…

The emperor and his group stopped in front of the pond in the imperial garden to watch.

The lotus flowers there are in full bloom. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and the lotus flowers and the lotus pods that appear after the flowers fall sway gently in the wind, like elves dancing in the water.

Looking at this beautiful scenery, the emperor couldn't help but sigh:

"I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time. I never thought the lotus flowers in this pond would bloom so beautifully."

"Father, you were busy with government affairs before and had no time to come, so you missed the time when the lotus flowers were in full bloom."

"Yu'er is right. But from now on, with you in charge of government affairs for me, I will have more free time and will not miss the beautiful scenery here anymore."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will live up to your expectations and manage the government well."

…

"Princess, please be careful..."

"Mom, be careful, the river is slippery..."

"Mom, be careful..."

While the emperor was talking to Leng Yu, the voices of Acai and several children were heard from the other side. Leng Yu and the emperor looked in the direction of the sound.

Luo Lan's upper body was seen leaning towards the river. A Cai and A Hong were so scared that they pulled her hard and kept persuading her.

Seeing this, Leng Yu smiled indulgently. He knew that his wife was in a playful mood because she saw the lotus pods in the river. As her husband, how could he not help her?

He quickly flew up from where he was standing, and with lightning speed, he arrived in front of Luo Lan. His feet were like a dragonfly skimming the water, tapping on the lotus leaves a few times before he plucked the lotus pod she was about to pick. He then flew down to her side, chuckling and saying,

"Is this what Lan'er wanted?"

Luo Lan didn't expect that the lotus pod that she had tried so hard to pick was easily picked up by Leng Yu.

She pursed her lips, took the lotus pod from his hand, sniffed at him, and whispered reproachfully:

"If you hadn't come, I would have picked it almost..."

"It was my fault. I stole my wife's credit. Since you like it, can I pick two more for you?"

Luo Lan nodded without thinking.

"good."

Seeing that his wife liked lotus pods very much, Leng Yu flew up again, touched the lotus leaves with his toes, and picked several lotus pods in succession before returning to Luo Lan.

He handed the lotus pod in his hand to Luo Lan. Luo Xue walked forward curiously, took one, looked at it carefully, and asked in confusion:

"Sister, what do you want this for?"

Luo Lan smiled mysteriously at her, then came to the emperor and bowed, saying:

"Father, didn't you say I should tell you about any delicious food I have? This lotus seed pod is delicious. Would you like to try it?"

The emperor blinked hard a few times, then frowned and shook his head.

"Can this thing be eaten? I've never heard of it."

Everyone was talking behind his back, but Leng Xi followed the crowd with a calm expression. He was very calm today. He didn't want to steal the limelight, show up in public, or even let others notice him, because he was thinking about something important in his mind.

“It’s edible, and very sweet and crispy.”

As he spoke, Luo Lan handed the extra lotus pod in his hand to Leng Yu beside him, took out one of them and broke it open to reveal the lotus seeds inside, then peeled off the outer layer of green shell and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he nodded with great enjoyment.

"Mm, I haven't eaten such fresh lotus seeds in a long time. They are delicious."

Hearing her say this, the women present were all eager to try it out, and the emperor winked at Liu Xi. It was obvious that he was also very curious about this thing.

Liu Xi took a lotus pod from Leng Yu, peeled it open like Luo Lan did, revealing the lotus seeds inside, and respectfully presented it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"

Seeing that Luo Lan was eating with relish, the emperor curiously picked up the lotus seeds from Liu Xi's hand, put them in his mouth, and chewed them gently.

Everyone's eyes were focused on his face, and after a while, he kept nodding his head.

"Mmm, it's so sweet and crispy. I never thought this thing could be eaten. No one knew about it for so many years. It's such a waste. What a shame. Yu'er, tell them to pick more lotus pods and distribute them to everyone so that everyone can taste it."

"Yes, I will order someone to pick them right away."

After Leng Yu received the order, he ordered Xiao Lingzi and others to go down to the river to pick lotus seeds.

After a while, everyone in the Imperial Garden had a fresh lotus pod in their hands, and everyone followed Luo Lan's example and slowly peeled the lotus seeds inside.

Xiaobao held a lotus pod and whispered to Qiaoqiao:

"Mom, is this really edible?"

Leng Xi stood with his hands behind his back and said in a disdainful voice:
