This Little Fellow

Lin Luo searched his mind for some things. He hadn't even been born for a year yet, and he really hadn't done much for Qian Renxue.

Picking the Immortal Herb for her while she was still an infant is definitely one of the few truly glorious deeds that can be called a feat.

But this is something that obviously can't be said outright...

At this moment, Qian Renxue silently patted Lin Luo and gestured with her eyes to a female attendant standing behind Tang Yuehua.

She seems to be taking notes on something...

Lin Luo suddenly realized, "No way, this even needs to be scored?"

Goodness...

Am I supposed to win the "Most Well-behaved Student" gold award at the Moonlight Pavilion and take it home?

Although he wasn't interested, the fighting spirit in Qian Renxue's eyes seemed quite strong.

Parents' vanity...

Lin Luo thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Me!"

Tang Yuehua looked over and saw Lin Luo, then suddenly said, "I hope everyone can be honest. My eyes are the best at judging whether a child is lying."

Lin Luo swallowed hard.

Tang Yuehua suddenly said this because more and more children had started lying, treating it as a coveted honor, and so had their mothers.

What? Mom was sick, so he carried her for dozens of kilometers to find a doctor...

And then there's the story of a boy whose mother was killed by Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and who single-handedly entered the beast's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and killed it... The boy's mother was right next to him as he said this.

All sorts of exaggerated stories kept popping up, and Tang Yuehua was completely fed up with them.

As one of the children who spoke relatively late, Lin Luo was already being scrutinized by Tang Yuehua's sharp eyes.

"Uh, I once went to a dangerous forest to pick herbs for my mother. After picking them, I hid behind rocks to avoid danger, without eating or drinking for a whole day, before finally going home."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue looked down at her son, smiled, and patted Lin Luo's head.

She'll remember this for a long time.

Tang Yuehua narrowed her eyes slightly. This didn't sound like an exaggeration, but it was quite remarkable for a child.

But... this child looks like a nobleman. How could a nobleman's child do such a thing?

You lied again!

Tang Yuehua was about to have the servant behind her take notes when a girl suddenly spoke up.

"Lin Luo, did this happen before His Highness the Crown Prince brought you to Heaven Dou?"

"I asked, "Xue Fu said.

Lin Luo nodded. "Yes."

Xue Fu immediately said with concern, "You're so amazing, the forest is terrifying."

Xue Qian silently commented, "I didn't expect you to have had this kind of experience before. I admire you."

Tang Yuehua was taken aback. He was Lin Luo?

The orphan the crown prince picked up from the common people?

If that's the case, then it makes sense. When he was in the countryside, he went into the forest alone to pick medicinal herbs to treat his sick mother, but it seems that his mother did not survive in the end.

Tang Yuehua was slightly moved.

Children of ordinary people can only rely on themselves in everything, but they also possess a courage that children of noble families do not have.

She nodded silently, instructing the servant to take notes.

The children's stories were getting increasingly exaggerated, but when it came to Lin Luo, they suddenly became less exaggerated, and the remaining children were embarrassed to lie anymore.

Tang Yuehua asked several more times, but after no one answered, she finally spoke:

"Whether or not each of you has done anything particularly filial that you can boast about, I believe you all deeply love your parents. Now, I have a small task for you. Regardless of whether you've done it at home before, I hope you will complete it diligently here."

Xue Qian asked, "What is it?"

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly and waved her hand behind her. The servants then brought over clean, golden basins of water.

"Wash your mother's feet once. She gave birth to you, raised you, and sacrificed six years of her youth for you. It's worth it for you to wash her feet."

Xue Qian's face froze on the spot.

How could a prince do such menial work!

Xue Fu was delighted. She turned and hugged her mother, smiling as she said, "Mom, you've worked so hard. Let me wash your feet!"

"Okay, Fufu." Mama Fu was deeply moved; her daughter was truly a sweet and considerate daughter.

Then she looked up and glared at her son's back.

That ungrateful wretch is silent now; he definitely can't bring himself to wash his mother's feet.

Mama Fu turned her head and suddenly saw the beautiful palace maid's worried expression. She said understandingly, "I know that given your status, it's not appropriate for him to wash your feet, but this is a special case, so you don't need to feel guilty."

Qian Renxue said with difficulty, "No, His Highness has a foot fetish, and he succeeded again this time."

Lin Luo's face stiffened, and she immediately retorted, "Nonsense!"

Qian Renxue turned her head and said willfully, "That's how it is."

Mama Fu: "..."

So that's how it is. We absolutely mustn't let Fu'er know. That girl is too naive; whatever Lin Luo likes, she'll definitely give him...

Yu Luoyi suddenly raised her hand. "But what about Mom's smelly feet?"

"Smack!"

With a bright red handprint on his face, Yu Luoyi obediently stepped forward, took a golden basin of water, and then returned.

Lin Luo also came over carrying a basin, skillfully poured in hot water, skillfully tested the water temperature, and then reached out to Qian Renxue's feet, preparing to take off her shoes.

Qian Renxue pulled her foot back, her face hardening. "What are you laughing at?"

Did I laugh?

Lin Luo looked up at her.

Qian Renxue sat in the chair, leaning forward, and tapped Lin Luo on the head. "You haven't stopped smiling since you brought the basin over, you little foot fetishist!"

Lin Luo frowned. "I'm sure I didn't laugh."

With a stern face, he took off Qian Renxue's shoes, then her white socks, exposing a fair and beautiful foot to the air. Her five toes were crystal clear, white with a hint of pink, like pearls.

Lin Luo really felt sorry for Yu Luoyi. Being with Qian Renxue, he had never experienced what smelled like.

Seeing her son smile again, Qian Renxue resisted the urge to stomp on his face, after all, Tang Yuehua had already been inspecting the area step by step.

She could only let Lin Luo put her feet into the basin of water. When Tang Yuehua came over, Qian Renxue sat on the chair with a restrained expression and gave Tang Yuehua a respectful smile.

"Good."

Tang Yuehua stood behind Lin Luo, nodding frequently.

"Despite being a prince with a radiant status, he was still willing to condescend to wash the feet of a palace maid, and did so so meticulously."

Tang Yuehua muttered to herself, while instructing the female attendant behind her to begin taking notes.

I'll definitely wash such a beautiful palace maid's feet very carefully!

Hearing Tang Yuehua's praise, Yu Luoyi pinched his nose and threw his mother's socks on the ground.

"Mom, did you go for a 10-kilometer run before you came here?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You can't have a healthy body without exercise!"

Lin Luo did indeed wash very carefully, leaving no stone unturned, from her fair and delicate ankles to her pink and white soles and plump, pearl-like toes, her small hands moving with practiced ease.

Qian Renxue had a bad feeling; the more professionally the child washed her feet, the more uneasy she felt.
