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

Huang Kang didn't say anything in the end.

The reasons are complicated. Part of it is due to Huang Kang's affection for Li Qingyi, and part of it is due to Huang Kang's own interests.

He felt that it would be better for him not to get too involved in the dispute between the emperor and the eleventh princess. The reason he could stand in this position was more because of his loyalty to the emperor rather than how smart he was.

As for the emperor, sometimes it might be more reassuring if he didn't think too much about the people who served him closely.

Therefore, the thoughts in Huang Kang's mind were ultimately just his thoughts.

If Huang Kang had caught any obvious evidence, he would not have hidden it like he was doing now, but would have told the emperor directly.

But now, he just had some subtle feelings in his heart, and it was totally unnecessary to tell the emperor about his thoughts.

After the emperor listened to Huang Kang's stories and entertained himself for a while, he went to Kunning Palace in the evening with the gifts he had prepared for Li Qingyi.

Although he is very busy, there are still many things that require the emperor's attention. But when his daughter is sick, the emperor will squeeze out time to visit her.

At this moment, Li Qingyi looked at the handicrafts on the table with a dull look, then looked at his smiling father, and hesitated: "Father, what is this?"

The emperor smiled and replied, "Why? Can't Yi'er see it? This is an ornament made by a craftsman based on the scene when Yi'er was making honeycomb coal. It is made of pure gold and given to Yi'er as a gift. Don't you like it?"

Li Qingyi: "..."

Li Qingyi's mood is so complicated.

You may say you don’t like it, but it’s gold!

I like it, but what kind of socially dead craft is this! ?

Don’t accept it?

Even if Li Qingyi is not a greedy person, if she does not accept the gold given to her by her father, she will definitely regret it later!

The most important thing is, if Li Qingyi doesn’t accept it now, who knows where his father will put it later!

The most likely possibility is the Duobao Pavilion in the imperial study... If it is really placed there, then every time a court official goes in, there is a high probability that he will see this thing, right?

With these two choices, is it better to keep the embarrassment for yourself or let your father expose yourself to public disgrace? Does Li Qingyi have any choice?

Li Qingyi swallowed and nodded: "I like it, thank you father."

Uh...

Who is the emperor? With his sharp eyes, how could he not see that Li Qingyi was not speaking the same words as he meant?

So he raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "Really? But I see that Yi'er doesn't seem to like it very much. I gave you something to make you happy. If you don't like it, Yi'er doesn't have to force yourself in front of the emperor. The emperor can just ask the craftsmen to melt it down and make a new one."

When Li Qingyi heard this, he felt even more complicated - isn't there an option of not doing this?

But to say that she hated the gift from the emperor, that was definitely not the case.

Not only because it was made of pure gold, but also because it was a token of the emperor's love, Li Qingyi knew what was good for him. After adjusting his mood, he smiled at the emperor and said, "No, father, I really like this."

Li Qingyi: "Father's kindness, how can I not like it? It's just that I'm not used to it, so I'm a little overwhelmed."

After a pause, Li Qingyi said, "Father, if you want to give me something next time, why not just give me gold?"

Gold is good, gold is wonderful, gold is quaint!

emperor:"……"

The emperor hesitated for a moment before saying, "I understand."

Li Qingyi:?

Ok?

So, father, what do you know?

The Queen watched the interaction between the father and daughter with a smile on her face. It was not until this moment that she spoke up, "Your Majesty, it is almost time for dinner. Yi'er just got sick. If she gets caught in a cold again, it might not be good. Why don't we have dinner here today?"

Li Qingyi is now lying in the queen's bedroom. When she had a fever in the middle of the night, she was urgently transferred to the queen's place.

One was to make it easier for the Queen to look after her, and the other was to clean Li Qingyi's residence inside and out to get rid of the bad luck before she recovered from her illness.

The emperor gladly accepted the queen's suggestion.

At dinner today, the emperor and the empress accompanied Li Qingyi to eat a light and healthy meal, and occasionally chatted about some things in the court or the harem, without any taboos.

Li Qingyi was drinking porridge slowly at the side. Their family did not need palace servants to serve them at this time. On the contrary, they would feel that the presence of palace servants would affect their communication and would drive them out.

No matter how you look at it, Li Qingyi has a good relationship with her biological father.

If the emperor was the kind of emperor who was always concerned about rules, pomp, and hierarchy, then even if he was his biological father, Li Qingyi's free soul would find it difficult to accept his father's identity.

As the emperor was talking, he suddenly looked at Li Qingyi, whose movements had slowed down and who seemed to be falling asleep while eating, and asked, "Has Yi'er not left the palace for a while? What's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with your friends outside the palace?"

Yes, in the eyes of the emperor, Wang Xuan is Li Qingyi’s friend.

This is what Li Qingyi said.

As for how a teenage girl can be friends with a baby who was three years old last year and four years old this year, Li Qingyi said: What do you care about me!

Anyway, Li Qingyi said he was a friend, and the emperor accepted this statement, so even if other people had some complaints in their hearts, they couldn't say anything openly.

Wang Xuan is now also a prominent figure in Beijing, because she is engaged in business, and the status of businessmen is there in the current era. So no matter how much money Wang Xuan earns or how capable she behaves, there will always be people who will use her status and position to make a fuss.

And this situation will not only not get better after Wang Xuan and Li Qingyi, the most favored princess of this dynasty and possibly the most favored princess of the new emperor in the future, but it may even make some people even more jealous.

This is human nature, don't worry about it.

Wang Xuan herself doesn't care, and Li Qingyi will just turn a blind eye as long as those people don't really do anything.

Why bother yourself when you are alive?

Ever since Wang Xuan and Li Qingyi got in touch, or even earlier, after Li Qingyi met Li Zhu, she had to leave the palace several times a month, so frequently that it even attracted the attention of several imperial censors.

Well, do you think Li Qingyi was impeached for leaving the palace too many times?

Yes, but as soon as the memorial was delivered to the emperor, it was written in red by the emperor himself and scolded in harsh words.

What, you mean, my precious princess is not to be seen by others?

What? You say this is against the rules?

Emperor: Where did these rules come from? From the previous dynasty? Or the dynasty before that? Are you officials from Daning or the previous dynasty?

Everyone: "..."

Ah, Your Majesty, you cannot say this!

In short, this incident didn't cause any splash.
