Chapter 34 This way I can openly listen to the little princess’s voice

He took his son to the purification room.

Six-year-old Xu Linyong didn't know what he would face next.

"Dad, what are we doing here?" He looked at Xu Mingting with some uneasiness.

"After you come here, you will have food to eat, a place to live, and you can earn money on your own." Xu Mingting touched his head.

"If I make money, will my mother come back?" Xu Linyong's eyes were wide open, full of anticipation.

"Well, if you have money, your mother will come back." Xu Mingting lied to him against his conscience.

"Then I will earn a lot of money to buy clothes for my mother and wine for my father." Xu Linyong showed an innocent smile on his young face.

"Yong'er, you must remember what your father told you. Whether you can live a good life in the future depends on whether you are smart enough." Xu Mingting instructed earnestly.

"Yes, I remember them all." Xu Linyong nodded seriously.

Deng Hua, the chief eunuch who recruited people, heard the conversation between the father and son and clicked his tongue twice, showing great contempt for Xu Mingting.

This man has no conscience at all, as he sent his own son into the palace to be a eunuch.

"Have you thought it through? If so, come and get the money to purify yourself." Deng Hua spoke slowly.

"Think it over carefully." Xu Mingting pushed his son in cruelly.

Anyway, I will still have a son in the future.

He wants to be a royal consort, and this son is a burden, so it's just right to get rid of him now.

Xu Linyong followed Deng Hua into the purification room. He smelled blood and felt a little scared.

But thinking of the good days ahead and his mother's return, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Seeing him shivering, Deng Hua felt kind-hearted for once.

"Drink it." He handed the anesthetic soup he had prepared earlier to Xu Linyong.

If it was an adult, he would have killed him directly.

But this is just a child.

He still gave him the anesthetic soup.

Xu Linyong knew that the person in front of him was in charge and he could not offend him, so he drank it obediently.

When he woke up, he found a dull pain between his legs and something was missing. He was completely dumbfounded.

After learning from the chief eunuch in the same compartment that this meant that from now on he was no longer a man but a eunuch, he burst into tears.

But the matter was done and he could not change it. He could only wipe away his tears and obey orders.

"From today on, you will first learn the rules from your master. After you have learned them well, go to Weiyang Palace to accompany the third prince." Deng Hua arranged a popular destination for him.

After all, in this palace, only the third prince is of the same age as him, so this child is considered lucky.

Everyone knows that the Third Prince's biological mother, Concubine Hui, is now the most favored person in the palace.

Before being kicked out, Xu Linyong was the one being served. But now he is asked to serve others, and naturally he is clumsy and can't do anything well.

"If you still can't learn it, go and clean the palace toilets." The eunuch who was with him was worried.

Xu Linyong didn't dare to talk back, so he had to admit his mistake and promised that he would study hard.

After being in the palace for a while, he already knew that accompanying the prince was the most promising thing to do, and he also knew that cleaning the palace toilets was the job of the lowest eunuchs.

He had to get that chance.

Half a month later, he was barely decent and was finally assigned to Weiyang Palace.

He was sweet-talking and sensible, and soon won Lu Heng's favor, who took him with him wherever he went.

"Come on, Xiao Yongzi. Today is the finals of the Royal Sister's selection of a consort. I'll take you there to broaden your horizons."

Xu Linyong was stunned. "Eldest sister, isn't that the eldest princess that father mentioned?"

He followed quickly.

Lu Heng went to look for his mother and sister first, intending to meet up with them and then go to the palace together. However, he did not expect that his sister would be disappointed.

"Where's my sister?" Lu Heng stood on tiptoe and looked around.

"Your father took him away early in the morning." Xia Shuyi was helpless.

She felt that Li'er was almost becoming a pendant on the emperor's body, and the emperor had to wear her as soon as he woke up.

"Is father so free that he keeps trying to snatch my sister from me all day long?" Lu Heng couldn't help but mutter.

Xia Shuyi tapped her son's forehead lightly and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense again. Your father has worked hard for Daxia, and you are not allowed to say that about him."

"Got it." Lu Heng nodded obediently and reached out to hold her.

"Mother, let's go."

"Misfortunes come from the mouth. You'd better be careful when this passes." Xia Shuyi held his son's hand and instructed.

Xu Linyong followed behind, looking on with great envy.

He misses his mother.

But the harem didn't believe in tears, so he held back his tears and followed with his head down.

Soon we arrived at the main hall.

Lu Heng saw Lu Li being held in Lu Yanshi's arms from a distance. He wanted to rush over and bring his sister back, but was stopped by his mother.

"Our seat is here." Xia Shuyi pulled his son to sit down.

For this imperial consort selection contest, the Emperor allowed concubines above the rank of imperial concubine to come and watch and give their opinions.

It is imperative that Lu Yao choose a good husband.

Those concubines of lower ranks were all very disappointed. They were also very bored in the harem, okay? Such an interesting competition was not allowed for them to join in the fun.

So they got together to discuss it, why not they think of a way to nominate Concubine Hui to be the empress?

In this way, I can pay my respects every day as a routine, and I can listen to the little princess's voice openly.

Such a huge harem is really too lonely. Eating melons with the little princess will make you less lonely and bored.

Lu Yanshi didn't know yet that the concubines in his harem were already helping him arrange who would sit on the throne of empress.

He is very unhappy at the moment.

A total of ten people were selected to enter the final of this Prince Consort Consort Competition.

However, each family did not send their best sons and daughters to participate in the competition, and some even temporarily arranged marriages for their own children.

This is how much they don't want their children to be selected.

What? Is his daughter so bad? Do they look down on her so much?

Lu Li was held by her father and looked up at the sky, and could not see who was in the audience. She pulled Lu Yanshi twice, but Lu Yanshi did not respond, so she reached out and pulled Lu Yao who was standing beside her.

Lu Yao was stunned. What did Ninth Sister mean?

"Do you want me to hold you?" she asked tentatively.

"Ah!" Lu Li responded.

Only then did Lu Yanshi come to his senses.

"Since Xiaojiu likes you, you can hold her for a while." He handed the younger daughter to the older daughter.

He sat down and prepared to start evaluating the final candidate.

Lu Yao hurriedly held Lu Li in her arms.

[Emperor Sister, I want to see the future prince consort! ]

Lu Li was so anxious that she kept shouting in her heart.

Lu Yao quickly adjusted the way he held her so that she was facing the candidates.

Only then did Lu Li look at it with satisfaction.

Lu Yao also looked at them one by one.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped on the face of one of them.

She was stunned.

How did Xu Mingting get in?

His name is clearly not on the list.
