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

After hearing this, the emperor and the crown prince initially felt that the five hundred taels were indeed a bit of a waste, but they did not directly associate it with the Minister of Revenue and the Fourth Prince.

This might be the dowry of the mother.

But then, the system's words made the emperor and the prince sit up straight subconsciously.

System: [However, there is a big melon in the house of the Minister of Revenue, which requires 500 energy points and 5 merits.]

[Host, do you want to eat? ]

Li Qingyi: [Ten times more expensive than Li Qi, it seems like a really big melon. ]

System: [Hmm, do you want to eat? ]

Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment.

Her total score was only 97.5, Li Qingyi remembered it clearly.

Oh, no, 97.5 was yesterday's balance.

The system requires 1 energy per day to operate, which means that today she only has 97.49 merits left.

Li Qingyi was silent for a while, but the emperor and the prince, who were listening attentively, felt a little anxious.

On the one hand, they wanted to know what "big melon" the Minister of Revenue had that could be more valuable than Li Qi; on the other hand, they were also worried that if their daughter's or sister's merit was deducted, it would have a negative impact on her.

The emperor looked at the prince and asked: Do you know what's going on in the Minister of Revenue's family?

The prince shook his head slightly: I don’t know.

The emperor looked at him with disdain: You are so useless.

The prince chuckled: Father, do you know?

emperor:……

Okay, neither of them, father or son, should say anything to each other.

However, compared to the prince's dilemma, the emperor's thoughts are much simpler.

This system is quite mysterious, and seems to know something that none of them know.

But since the tip has been given, it is not impossible for the emperor to send the Green Guards to investigate, it's just that it would take some time and energy.

Just as the emperor was about to give the order, Li Qingyi also made a decision.

Li Qingyi: [My current merits are really not enough, Xiao Ba, your melon-eating system can't just be in without out, right? ]

System: [Ah, but I am just a melon-eating system, I am not responsible for earning merits. ]

System 88 was silent for a few seconds, and then said: [Host, don't worry. You are still young and there is not much you can do. When you grow up and are in the position of a princess, just do something that benefits the country and the people, and your merits will increase rapidly.]

[You are in a high position and are favored. If you want, a good suggestion can influence millions of people. Are you still worried about not having merit by then? ]

[But you, the host, must also be careful. With your status, if you make the wrong choice, the bad influence may also affect many people. At that time, not only may you lose all your merits, but you may even lose them. ]

Li Qingyi nodded in his heart: [I know, what goes up must go down.]

System: [Host is so smart! ]

Li Qingyi was a little speechless: [You don’t have to treat me like a child. ]

Li Qingyi: [According to what you said, if I want to gain merit, I don’t have to wait until I grow up to do it. ]

System: [Ah, but you are still young, no one will take you seriously, and your influence is limited.]

Li Qingyi's baby voice was very calm: [Not necessarily. I am so favored. If I ask my father and mother to do good deeds, will it be considered as my merit? ]

System: [Ah... it counts, but it's not entirely yours. The emperor and empress did good deeds, and they contributed, so they should also share some of the merits.]

System: [Moreover, in fact, the merits gained from doing good deeds are not that much, and the influence brought by the emperor and empress's good deeds is the biggest part.]

Li Qingyi: [I understand. The merits and virtues you mentioned here are not directly equivalent to good deeds. They should be calculated together with the merits and virtues in the Chinese interpretation, right?]

System: [That’s right! ]

Li Qingyi understood.

In other words, in the system's calculations, or when rising to the level of world consciousness, the so-called merit cannot be obtained simply by doing good deeds.

Li Qingyi pouted unconsciously, thinking about her students who were now in some unknown corner of the world, and sighed in her heart.

Li Qingyi: [The people from the Space-Time Bureau said that you can also help me find my students. Does that mean that as long as I have enough merit as energy to support it, you can help me find them? ]

At the same time, the emperor and the prince frowned.

For some reason, the conversation between Li Qingyi and the system was very clear before, but at this time her voice was suddenly blurred, and the emperor couldn't hear what she was saying in her heart.

The emperor subconsciously looked at the prince and found that the expression on his face was not right. Realizing that this was not just his situation, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also began to worry.

However, fortunately, the system's sound was as clear as ever.

System: [Yes, as long as there is enough energy, I can conduct a targeted search. If you want, you can find them based on the information in the melon.]

Li Qingyi: [I understand.]

It seems that she has to find a way to earn merit for herself as soon as possible.

Thinking of his clear-minded yet foolish students, Li Qingyi found it hard not to worry about their current situation.

In this ancient time when everyone is so cunning as to survive, it must be difficult for her students to adapt to the environment.

Hey, why does she still have to teach students after being reborn?

System: [Host, do you want to eat this melon of Minister Liu? ]

Li Qingyi was a little lazy: [Is it urgent? If I don't eat it for a few days, will it disappear or increase in price? ]

System: [No, on the contrary, if the host learns some information from others, the price of the melon will drop. Generally, the price will not increase unless he does something to make the melon bigger.]

Li Qingyi: [Then let’s put it aside for now. ]

Li Qingyi: [I’m a little sleepy. ]

She is still a three-year-old baby, an age when her mind should be empty and she shouldn't think about anything. However, due to the memories and system of her previous life, she has been using her brain constantly these past two days and she is getting tired quickly.

System: [Oh, okay, I'll mark it for the host. Next time you want to eat it, just tell me.]

Li Qingyi: [Yes.]

After saying that, Li Qingyi opened her little hands, covered her mouth and yawned. At this time, she turned her attention back to her father and brother, and found that they were staring at her intently.

Li Qingyi blinked and wondered: "Father, brother, what's wrong?"

The baby's voice is so soft that it sounds like she is acting coquettishly, and it just goes into people's hearts.

The emperor also saw that she was indeed tired, and he immediately calmed down and gently touched her head: "Nothing, Yi'er, are you sleepy? Do you want to go to the side hall to sleep for a while?"

The prince also said: "Yes, Yi'er, if you are sleepy, can I accompany you to rest for a while?"

The emperor looked at him speechlessly.

Why didn't you just refuse to go back to rest?
