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

Li Qingyi's illness came unexpectedly, but it would not be wrong to say that Li Qingyi himself was completely unprepared.

However, when he woke up from the darkness, he found that it was already bright outside, and the person guarding him was not Fang Xin but the Queen, so Li Qingyi still felt a little guilty.

"Mother..." She opened her mouth, thinking that she could call out the name smoothly, but no sound came out as Li Qingyi expected.

The dryness and itchiness in her throat was telling her, the owner of this body, how uncomfortable she was feeling at the moment.

Li Qingyi: "..."

Fortunately, although Li Qingyi could not make a sound, the queen, who was sitting by the bed and silently flipping through something, had already noticed the movement. When she turned around and saw that her daughter had woken up, she immediately stopped what she was doing and asked in a gentle voice, "Awake? How do you feel?"

Li Qingyi opened his mouth, indicating that he wanted to drink some water.

At this time, Fang Xin, who had noticed something from the Queen's actions, came forward with a cup of warm water, which the Queen naturally took and fed gently and carefully into Li Qingyi's mouth.

After drinking a glass of warm water, Li Qingyi felt that the pain in her throat was relieved a lot, and asked: "Mother, why are you here?"

Then Li Qingyi learned that he had been in a coma for a whole day, and now it was already the second day.

During this period, Li Qingyi had taken medicine three times without realizing it, and his fever has subsided now.

Li Qingyi: "..."

No wonder she felt inexplicably sore all over, just like someone who hasn't exercised for a long time and suddenly did a lot of exercise. As a result, when she woke up the next day, her muscles all over her body were sore.

The Queen reached out and touched her head. She did not blame Li Qingyi for anything, but said gently: "Yier will be four years old this year, and will go to the study room next year. If you have such a serious illness every year, how can your mother be at ease?"

Li Qingyi subconsciously rubbed her palm, slowly moved his body, and snuggled in the queen's arms: "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

On this day, the queen put aside all her affairs and stayed with Li Qingyi.

The mother and daughter were very affectionate, and the emperor and the prince breathed a sigh of relief when they received the news.

After making sure that his daughter was awake and that everything was fine and that she just needed to have a good rest for a while, the emperor suddenly remembered another thing.

"I remember that the system first appeared after Yi'er fell ill?" The emperor turned his head and asked Huang Kang who was serving on the side, but no specific emotion could be heard in his tone.

It seemed like a simple inquiry, but also seemed like it was mixed with something else.

Huang Kang lowered his head. After listening to the emperor's words, he quickly recalled them in his mind and came to a positive answer: "Your Majesty, you remember it correctly."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did anything important happen to Yi'er during this period?"

It is said to be an important matter, but in fact it is just asking Huang Kang what kind of gossip he has.

Of course, the emperor would not ask so directly. After all, he is the emperor and he still has to maintain the proper manners.

Some time ago, the court was busy with northern affairs. The foreigners on the northern border had no rest, and the emperor, officials, clan members, and even some well-informed people in the capital could not feel at ease.

There is no other reason, because the capital of Daning is Beijing.

When Daning was first established, the court at that time argued over the establishment of the capital. Finally, Taizu decided on Beijing to show his will that Taizu and the kings after him would always stand at the forefront of the country.

Although the saying "The emperor guards the national gate and the king dies for the country" did not appear at this time, the Li Dynasty had already tacitly accepted the tone set by Taizu.

In this case, once a war breaks out in the north and the border guards make a mistake and fail to hold the defense line, the court will have to face the enemy's attack.

In this situation, no matter whether you are afraid of death or not, you have to charge forward for your own or national interests - if you don't charge forward, you will die.

It is hard to say whether Taizu's tough attitude in deciding Beijing as the capital also forced those who wanted to enjoy a peaceful life after the establishment of Daning and lacked drive to go ahead.

Well, the effect is amazing.

In short, before and after the New Year, no one was in the mood to celebrate the New Year this year. When we looked back, the New Year had passed, and the snow disaster had also passed amid another year of frugality by the court.

There are still casualties, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The imperial court has not given up on those people, but the conditions are set and the imperial court can only do its best.

At least, thanks to the various measures taken by the imperial court, the people of Daning are living better than the people in the previous dynasty and at the end of the dynasty before that.

It can't even be said to be the end of the previous dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, prosperity was truly prosperous, and cowardice was truly cowardice, but the people were also truly suffering.

The prosperity belongs to the upper class, and the lives of the lower class people are not much better.

The scholar-official class did live a wealthy life, but their wealth came at the expense of the poverty of the common people.

When we arrived in Daning, the situation was much better.

What's more, there is now a Wang Xuan who specializes in making money from wealthy groups. She is not just making money. While making money from the rich, she also takes out part of the money and tries to create some public welfare projects. The latter is Wang Xuan's real intention.

The former...ah, standing on the shoulders of predecessors to make money to support the people who may be their ancestors, is there a problem?

Not at all!

In a way, maybe this can be said to be a gift from future generations! (bushi)

What, you mean that our ancestors might also be these rich people whose money was taken away?

Wang Xuan: Haha, in this era where craftsmen are treated like pariahs, how could they be willing to condescend to tinker with those things!

Even if it is true that they were wealthy in the early days but fell into poverty in the later days, and then some of their descendants came up with those technologies... then when they were wealthy they also enjoyed the blessings of their descendants!

no problem!

Let’s get back to the present.

After hearing the emperor's question, Huang Kang was silent for a while before picking out a few things he found interesting and telling the emperor.

And during this brief silence, the emperor would only think that Huang Kang was reminiscing, rather than that Huang Kang was distracted.

Yes, Huang Kang was distracted a little at that moment, in front of the emperor, who was so supreme.

When Huang Kang came to his senses, he was a little surprised. He was not surprised that he was distracted, but he was surprised that he could be so relaxed in front of the emperor.

But what he was thinking about while he was distracted was that during the time when the emperor was busy with state affairs, the news from the young prince always gave him a very subtle feeling.

It seems that there is no change, but it seems that some subtle changes have occurred at certain times, which are difficult to detect if you are not careful.

The problem Huang Kang faces now is whether he should tell the emperor.
