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

Violence is not acceptable.

But sometimes many people have to admit that when they are emotional, violence is at least the fastest way to vent their emotions in a short period of time.

but……

Li Qingyi: I’m so angry. I have such small arms and legs that I can’t use violence even if I want to!

Besides, the emperor was more rational than Li Qingyi, whose lung was punctured. It was impossible for him to let Li Qingyi move freely as usual. So he held Li Qingyi in his arms and restrained him directly.

After a brief struggle, Li Qingyi stared with a pair of black eyes, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

Afterwards, everyone heard Li Qingyi say in an unprecedented voice that even a baby could hear a hint of coldness: [System, three minutes, I want all the information about this person!]

System: [Although I know this joke, but...it won't take more than three minutes. I have already listed it for you.]

System: [Tong Lianzhong, a native of Chenzhou, Huguang, is currently the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. As the current Minister of Rites, Xie Yanlei, is preparing to retire, he has recently been secretly competing with the Left Vice Minister for the position of Minister.]

With just this one sentence, Li Qingyi, who had a lot of theoretical knowledge in his head, immediately thought of the key point: [Oh, so he wants to step on my seventh sister and my students to get to the top, right? Ha! ]

The system said that it was not clear about more complicated things, and of course it didn't need to say it out loud to mislead its host. It continued: [As for Tong Lianzhong's gossip, based on the system's current judgment, there are only three that are worth your tasting. ]

[The first melon, the title is: I compete with the scholar in lifespan, the scholar has no moral principles, the original price is 300 energy, after discount it is 240 energy. ]

[The second melon, the title is: Shocking, in order to get a promotion, my biological father actually sent me to the bed of an old man... The original price is 400 energy, and after the discount it is 320 energy.]

[The third melon, the title is: After abandoning the past, he also abandoned his humanity. The original price is 1000 energy, and the discounted price is 800 energy.]

The system was very excited: [Host, I strongly recommend you to buy the last melon. It is expensive for a reason! ]

Li Qingyi sneered in his heart and gritted his teeth: [I can tell there's nothing good about it. What are you picking? I want them all! ]

The system was shocked: [Host, although it is 1360% off, there will be no new discount if you buy all three melons. The total is energy. Are you sure? ]

Li Qingyi said loudly: [Sure! Quick! Stop dithering!]

System: [Okay! 】

And below, the sound of Li Qingyi's conversation with the system could no longer be heard, or in other words, as early as when Tong Lianzhong realized that Li Qingyi was the source of that special voice, he could no longer hear her inner voice.

It's just that Tong Lianzhong hid it well, and after all the insiders knew how the so-called system on Li Qingyi collected information, the officials rarely talked about her in public, so Tong Lianzhong was able to hide it all the time.

The consequence was that at this moment, all the officials who had no ill will towards Li Qingyi heard that Tong Lianzhong was about to have her privacy exposed by Li Qingyi in front of so many people, while Tong Lianzhong herself knew nothing and was still speaking proudly about the virtues that a royal princess should have.

This also exposed the fact that he could not hear Li Qingyi's voice.

Officials: ...

Officials: I used to think that this guy was mentally ill and deliberately interrupted the little princess from revealing the formula, but now it seems... oh, he just happened to run into her.

Gee tut.

The emperor naturally noticed Tong Lianzhong's situation below. He embraced his daughter, who had given up struggling and was concentrating on finding evidence from the system to kick Tong Lianzhong out of the court. He looked calmly at his right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites below.

Before this, his impression of Tong Lianzhong was... average.

I know of this person, but I don't have much impression of him. I only know that he is an official with decent ability and has not made any obvious mistakes so far.

At a time when all parties in the court are actually quite short of manpower due to various reasons, the emperor will appropriately relax the requirements for officials - he does not require every one of you to be outstanding, but at least you should not be someone who will cause big trouble. Having no merits and no faults is the average level for most people.

Otherwise, why is it that many people’s lifelong goal is to leave their names in history, but only a few achieve it?

Because most people are at that level, those who are outstanding enough are allowed to shine brightly in the long river of history.

The emperor had no expectations for Tong Lianzhong. Unless he made any mistakes, he would not pay any extra attention to him. Even when the emperor recalled Tong Lianzhong's current position as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he realized that he was able to sit in this position largely because of his qualifications.

Well...it's quite normal.

Tong Lianzhong below probably discovered that the emperor had no intention of stopping him, and thought that he had figured out the emperor's situation this time, so he became even more excited.

However, some officials could not stand it anymore and stepped forward to defend the Seventh Princess. They strongly disagreed with Tong Lianzhong's views that "if a woman is virtuous, she should not go out of the main door or the back door before she gets married and should rarely meet men outside the family", so they directly argued with Tong Lianzhong.

Above, Li Qingyi had already paid enough energy, and didn't care about the fact that his merits might become less and less, so he asked the system to give him a melon now.

System: [Then tell me about the price based on this host. ]

Li Qingyi: [Abbreviate. I’m not in the mood to listen to stories now.]

The system was just about to start a long speech when it was lightly pushed back. After a moment of silence, the system started again: [Okay, the first story is very simple. After Tong Lianzhong passed the imperial examination, he poisoned his original wife, pretended to be affectionate, and tricked a noble daughter into marrying him to obtain the original capital.]

Officials: Wow!

Li Qingyi: […Did he poison his wife after he passed the imperial examination and took her to the capital, or did he poison her before that, when others didn’t know that he was married?]

System: [Afterwards, he was already 27 or 28 years old when he passed the imperial examination. It was not credible that he was still unmarried at this age, so he first brought his first wife and children to Beijing, and then used medicine to make his first wife "unfit for the climate", and eventually died of a long-term illness. Not long after his first wife passed away, his children also died of illness one after another. ]

Li Qingyi: [Heh. Sure enough, he is not a good person. ]

Some officials quietly distanced themselves from Tong Lianzhong, some looked at him with subtle eyes, and some even spat at him directly, looking at him as if he were some scum.
