Chapter 35 A bunch of idiots
[Hey, isn't that the scumbag Xu Mingting? ]
Lu Li's inner voice rang out.
Lu Yanshi was confused and Lu Yao was nervous.
[Let me see how he got in? ]
Hearing this, Lu Yao immediately pricked up his ears.
[Good fellow, he persuaded his maternal family to send him to the palace. Now he has changed his name to Shao Ting.]
Lu Yanshi glanced coldly at the officials of the Shao family in the court and remembered them all.
Did the Shao family think he was an idiot?
Would he want a child that the Xu family doesn't want?
A bunch of idiots.
At this moment, Lu Yao's maid stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, the eunuch beside the third prince wants to see you for something."
Lu Yao was a little confused. Why did the people around Lu Heng want to see her? Was it a wrong message, and was they actually looking for Lu Li?
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Yanshi.
"Father, perhaps the Third Prince wants to see Xiaojiu for something. I will carry her over."
"Go ahead." Lu Yanshi was just about to examine the knowledge of these people one by one, so without asking any more questions, he let Lu Yao take them away.
Xu Linyong was very excited when he saw Lu Yao. He could finally complete the task his father had given him.
"Princess, this is me..."
He was about to say "my father" when he remembered Xu Mingting's instructions that their father-son relationship must not be exposed, so he changed his words.
"This is a letter that an elder asked me to pass on to you." He respectfully handed the letter in his arms to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao took the letter from his hand with some doubt, opened it, and his expression changed immediately.
"Bullshit!" she yelled and threw the letter to the ground.
Xu Linyong didn't understand why, but the eldest princess was angry, so he kneeled down and begged for mercy reflexively.
"Princess, spare my life."
Lu Li suddenly became interested. Who sent the letter to the eldest sister? What was written in the letter that made her so angry?
When Lu Li opened the melon-eating system, she was so shocked that her baby voice broke.
[Oh my god, this is Xu Mingting's son.]
[He was too cruel, actually sending his own son to the palace to be a eunuch. ]
Lu Yao was so shocked by his sister's inner voice that he took two steps back.
She never thought that the child in front of her would be Xu Mingting's biological son.
How cruel that is.
"Princess, please spare my life, Princess, please spare my life!" Xu Linyong was still kneeling and kowtowing.
He was terribly frightened.
The eunuch in charge publicly told him that if the nobleman became angry, he should kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, so as not to be beaten to death.
"Okay, tell me, who asked you to deliver the letter and why you helped him deliver the letter. You must tell me the whole story without missing a word. If you are lying, I will have someone beat you to death right now." Lu Yao said word by word.
Xu Linyong was so frightened that he dared not hide anything and told everything.
"My father said that after you read this letter, our family will be able to live a good life." When he finished speaking, his voice was already filled with tears.
But he was afraid of making the princess angry, so he didn't even dare to wipe away his tears.
[This Xu Mingting is really crazy and even uses his own son. ]
In order to take a chance on that one in ten thousand chance, Xu Mingting turned his son into a eunuch.
Lu Li was very angry.
The same goes for Lu Yao.
She especially regretted that she had ever liked such a dirty and despicable man.
"Qing'er, keep an eye on him. I'll deal with him after the prince consort is chosen." Lu Yao couldn't figure out what to do with Xu Linyong for a while, so he had to leave him where he was.
She hugged Lu Li and went back to find her father and told him about it.
Lu Yanshi was also shocked by Xu Mingting's shameless and ruthless actions.
Just in time, a stick of incense was about to pass and the candidate for the title of Prince Consort had finished writing his poem.
He ordered it to be presented.
The first poem Lu Yanshi read was Xu Mingting's.
"The jasper is made into a tall tree, with thousands of green silk threads hanging down. I don't know who cut out the fine leaves, the spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors."
Lu Yanshi read it carefully and found that the poem was actually quite well written. He never thought that such a shameless person could have such good literary talent.
[This Xu Mingting is really too bold, he actually bought someone else's poem and passed it off as his own! ]
Lu Li couldn't help but complain.
Lu Yanshi's face darkened. He was almost deceived by this guy.
The name is fake, the poems he wrote are fake, what else does he have that is real?
[Hey, what's going on? The person selling poetry is an old acquaintance. ]
[It should be said or not, this Qu Fufeng is really a talent. He actually guessed the test question that his father would give today, and he got the topic right, and sold the poem to Xu Mingting. ]
Lu Yanshi's face became even uglier.
He has not been able to develop the Qu Fufeng bomb, and he still has the mind to do other things. It seems he is too idle.
"Shao Ting!" Lu Yanshi angrily threw the poem down.
"The students are here." Xu Mingting stepped out quickly.
He thought that his poem should at least be among the top three among these ten.
He happily waited for Lu Yanshi to praise him.
"You plagiarized other people's poems and deceived the emperor. Come, drag him down and give him thirty lashes of the cane." Lu Yanshi gave the order with a cold face.
Xu Mingting was stunned on the spot.
"Your Majesty, this was written by the student himself. He did not plagiarize. He is innocent!" he shouted.
"You're still trying to be stubborn even when you're about to die, right? Go, call Qu Fufeng." Lu Yanshi ordered expressionlessly.
All the people who participated in the selection looked at Xu Mingting in surprise. How could this guy be so bold that he dared to cheat in front of the emperor.
[Hey, how did Father know that this poem was written by Qu Fufeng to the scumbag? ]
Lu Li was full of doubts.
Lu Yanshi was afraid that Lu Li would know that she could hear her thoughts and would not tell the truth in the future, so he coughed lightly and explained.
"I have seen this poem written by someone else. It is ridiculous that you now claim it as yours."
[Oh! It must have been Qu Fufeng and Father who said that. I probably fell asleep at that time and didn’t hear it.]
Lu Li suddenly realized.
Only then did Lu Yanshi breathe a sigh of relief.
As children grow up, they become harder and harder to fool.
When Xu Mingting heard what Lu Yanshi said, he cursed Qu Fufeng eight hundred times in his heart. Wasn't it said that absolutely no one knew this poem? How unfortunate was it that the emperor had seen it?
Qu Fufeng was called over, and as soon as he saw Lu Yanshi, he knew what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know that he bought the poem to deceive you. I was just thinking of making some extra money to supplement the family income. I admit my mistake." Qu Fufeng immediately slid down on his knees and admitted his mistake.
He has already figured out Lu Yanshi's character.
Admit your mistakes if you are wrong. As long as you are still useful, he won't kill you.
"Get out of here! I'll deduct two months' salary from you. If you dare to do this again, you'll lose your head," Lu Yanshi scolded.
"Your Majesty, can I deduct one month's salary?" Qu Fufeng bargained bravely.
"Three months!" Lu Yanshi became even angrier.
"Just two months, two months. I plead guilty." Qu Fufeng responded quickly and got out of here quickly.
Xu Mingting, who was standing by, was stunned.
The seller of poetry has admitted it, so how can the buyer of poetry make excuses?
He looked around anxiously and spotted Lu Yao standing behind Lu Yanshi. He was overjoyed and shouted, "Yao..."
