The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

In the end, Li Qingyi was unable to arrange the same martial arts classes for his students.

The reason is simple, because it is too eye-catching.

Therefore, Li Qingyi alone endured the love from his father.

On this day, Li Qingyi was going to have his first formal meeting with several generals in the afternoon. He sat in the corridor and listened to Fang Xin telling him information about those generals.

Fang Xin: "Among the generals, the one with the highest rank is General Li Benwei. General Li is fifty years old this year. He was born in a humble family. After he made meritorious service, he was given a surname by the Emperor Taizu. He has made great military achievements. Because he injured his waist and abdomen and is not fit to continue fighting on the front line, and he is also old, he was recalled to the capital by the Emperor two years ago to retire."

Li Qingyi knocks on the system: [Is there any free melon? ]

System: [Hmm... yes. Li Benwei changed his surname three times. The first time was when he was just born. His father married into the family and took his grandfather's surname Lin. Later, the Lin family was in chaos due to war, and many members of the family died or dispersed. Mrs. Lin was weak and died of a serious illness. His father changed his surname back to Liu, and his son changed his surname as well. This was the first time Li Benwei changed his surname.]

[At that time, Li Benwei and his biological father struggled to survive in the war, and finally drifted to the relatively stable south at that time, and found a job. In order to live a better life, Li Benwei's biological father married into the family. In order to show his attitude, he changed his surname to Bai with his biological son. This was the second time Li Benwei changed his surname. At that time, Li Benwei was actually not very old, only seven years old. ]

[The third time was when Taizu bestowed his surname on him. Since then, Li Benwei has never changed his surname.]

Lee Ching-yi: Wow.

Li Qingyi: [Is his father still alive? ]

System: [The old man suffered a lot and has passed away. However, the Bai family that the old man married into later is now living well in the south. Although Li Benwei changed his surname, he still remembers his kindness and asks his family to send New Year gifts to his stepmother's family every year. He also paid for the Bai family to build a family school. The relationship between the two sides is pretty good.]

Li Qingyi: [That’s good.]

While Li Qingyi was listening to the system talking about Li Benwei's change of surname, he was also multitasking as he listened to Fang Xin talking about Li Benwei's current family situation, which didn't delay anything.

As for Fang Xin, while she was paying some attention to the gossip, she also told Li Qingyi about how many concubines and children Li Benwei had, including the fact that Li Benwei had held a hundred-day banquet for one of his grandsons some time ago.

The master and servant play the game, with each of them doing their own thing, and both sides feel it's good.

After talking about Li Benwei, Fang Xin asked Li Qingyi: "Does your Highness have any questions?"

Li Qingyi blinked and said, "Not yet."

Anyway, I am not familiar with it, so it is not too late to ask if I have any questions later. At worst, there is a system to backup me.

Fang Xin then talked about the second general.

"General Jiang Changan is forty years old this year. She is a female general and was born in Yongping Prefecture..."

System supplement: [Jiang Changan originally joined the army disguised as a man. Later, she found out that the Daning army had female generals and female soldiers. She realized that there was no need for her to hide her gender, so she decisively went to her superiors to reveal herself. Although the people responsible for the relevant matters were punished, Jiang Changan was retained because he had a talent for leading troops and was not bad in martial arts.]

Fang Xin: "Chu Zixing, General Chu..."

System: [When Chu Zixing was young, he was a gangster and had relationships with several widows in his hometown. However, he did not take advantage of the widows. He always paid for the widows and their children. Later, because of a bet with someone, he went all the way north to join the army. After he became successful, he gave the person who made the bet with him 100 taels of silver to thank him.]

Fang Xin: "Jin Maotong General Jin..."

System: [Jin Maotong is a Mongolian Zhong. Fang Xin's origin in Guanning refers to his origin from the Guanning Army. The most elite of the Guanning Army is the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the elite of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. But you should know this? ]

Li Qingyi: […Ah, wait, at Jin Maotong’s age, he should have watched Mongolia die? ]

System: [Yes, he is a Mongolian, but that does not affect him leading the Mongolians to fight the Mongolians.]

Li Qingyi: [……]

Ah... that's normal. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were also Han people leading Han people to fight against Han people. How normal.

Fang Xin also mentioned the last general at this time, but before she spoke of this last general, she paused, then smiled and said: "This last one is relatively young, only 22 years old this year, he is the commander of the Beijing Guard, and he is a third-rank official."

Li Qingyi was surprised: "Among the five generals, the first ones are all in their forties or fifties, how come this one is so young?"

System: [I know, I know, because he is your cousin! ]

Fang Xin also smiled and said, "This is your cousin, Huo Yan."

Li Qingyi blinked, and then blinked again: "My cousin is not staying in the military camp, why did he come to join me? Could it be that my father has other intentions?"

She was quite direct in speaking to Fang Xin, so she asked this question directly.

Fang Xin explained: "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Emperor has discussed this matter with the Empress. Since the Empress has not said anything, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just take this opportunity to get closer to your cousin."

Li Qingyi thought about it and agreed.

If the emperor really wanted to warn her, that would be the concern of the Huo family and the queen, not her.

Fang Xin added, "Besides, young master cousin doesn't come every day. According to the agreement between the Emperor and the Empress, your martial arts classes will be on break for two days out of seven, and you will only have classes in the afternoons during the seven days. As for the content of the classes, it is up to the generals to discuss."

"If there is anything inappropriate or you feel uncomfortable, please tell the emperor directly. The emperor will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Li Qingyi blinked, "Oh."

Fine.

Of the five teachers, four were retired or semi-retired, and Huo Yan was the only young one. Li Qingyi calculated their ages and felt that having five more teachers all of a sudden was a bit too... uh, extravagant.

It was not yet time for class in the afternoon when Li Qingyi saw the Seventh Princess coming to join in the fun.

Li Qingyi was surprised: "Why is Seventh Sister here at this time? Aren't you going to the Shangshufang?"

The Seventh Princess: "I came to see what's going on here."

The Seventh Princess has a very straightforward personality. Perhaps she discovered that Li Qingyi is not a petty person, so she speaks to her quite directly.

Li Qingyi remembered that Wang Xuan had mentioned that the Seventh Princess eventually became the Empress. Then she looked at the Seventh Princess, who was still young and lively, and thought about her gentle and somewhat sinister brother, the Crown Prince...

Li Qingyi: ...these two shouldn't fight, right? It seems that this Seventh Sister doesn't look like such an ambitious person now, does she?

However, Li Qingyi did not drive the Seventh Princess away, but instead asked someone to invite the Ninth Princess, because she remembered that the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess seemed to have a good relationship.

Huo Yan was the first to enter the palace. When he saw the three princesses, he was slightly stunned.

Hmm? Didn't you take time to play with your little cousin? How come there are three of you?
