The Queen Mother had planned to get this done as quickly as possible. She didn't know how long she could hold on, but if she could see her grandson, it would be worth it even if she died.

These things in Beijing have little to do with Xu Lingyi in Lingguang Temple.
She knew that she was not qualified for this audition, so she stayed behind the temple with peace of mind.
If it doesn't work this time, she can only think of other ways.
Anyway, she had to enter the palace. She couldn't let down this chance of rebirth, nor could she let down the props in her treasure bag.
From the moment Xu Lingyi saw the brocade bag, she knew that everything inside was real.
And there was also a voice in her heart that seemed to urge her to enter the palace.

"That's a nice thought. This time, besides the age requirement, the talent show also looks at your family background, how many children your mother has, and your sisters..."
"Really? It seems the emperor still wants to have a son, but is this possible?"
Of course it still doesn’t work.
Xu Lingyi knew that the emperor's hope was dashed this time.
