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

It’s a lie, but Hu Ping’an has switched to message mode, which means that unless Li Qingyi leaves a message for Hu Ping’an, he will not receive any real-time messages for the time being.

Li Zhu was also speechless after hearing what Wang Xuan said: [It seems like you were the one who changed the subject. ]

Li Qingyi: […This is not the point.]

Li Qingyi: [Okay, Wang Xuan, Li Zhu, see if you can arrange for someone to rescue them. I'll go see if I can ask my mother or brother for some help.]

In fact, what Li Qingyi didn’t say was that during the conversation just now, Li Qingyi suddenly thought that since the emperor was very likely to have arranged people to conduct on-site inspections after receiving the news, was there a possibility that Hu Ping’an was actually safer than they thought?

It is inevitable that they will spend some time on the road when sending people over here.

But if the emperor had already arranged for people to go there in advance, and as long as the people sent there were not in collusion with the Yang family, they should have taken action when they realized that someone was doing something bad to Hu Ping'an, right?

After all, the Yang family didn't know, but her father's people definitely knew. The emperor knew in his heart who the hero was in this matter, and he would not let others fool him so easily.

However, these were just her guesses after all, so Li Qingyi did not say them in the team chat.

It was true that she went to borrow someone, and it was also true that she went to test the waters.

However, after asking Fang Xin, Li Qingyi found out that the prince had been busy with a lot of things these days. In addition, the mourning period for the empress dowager had passed, and the prince's wedding date was also on the agenda. He was also busy with the marriage and might not be able to take care of her.

As a result, Li Qingyi had to give up his original idea and turn to his mother to borrow people.

As a result, as soon as they entered the queen's territory, they heard someone outside asking for permission to see the queen with hurried footsteps.

Li Qingyi: "What's going on?"

After a closer look, she found that the person who came was not from Kunning Palace, but a confidant of her aunt.

Li Qingyi was startled: "Madame Chen, why are you here at this time? Did something happen outside the palace?"

Nanny Chen didn't expect to run into the Eleventh Princess at the door. A little surprise appeared on her face, but she still held her expression and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Eleventh Princess, best wishes."

Li Qingyi raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up and asked again.

Nanny Chen opened her mouth to speak, but then the Queen's trusted maid appeared at the door. She bowed to Li Qingyi and then said, "The Queen invites the young prince and Nanny Chen in to talk."

So, Li Qingyi could only swallow his doubts temporarily and followed him into the hall.

Fortunately, this time when Nanny Chen met the Queen, she did not hesitate and directly told her the purpose of her visit.

The future Crown Princess' grandfather passed away.

The queen's expression froze slightly.

Li Qingyi was also stunned for a moment, and then he said after a moment: "Isn't it time for the emperor to end his mourning period?"

The queen came back to her senses and nodded gently: "Yier is right."

Li Qingyi added: "My future sister-in-law's grandfather passed away, so my future sister-in-law will also have to start mourning?"

The wedding date of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was originally set three years ago, but because the Crown Prince had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, he observed three years of mourning.

They were about to get married, but then the Crown Princess...

The queen was silent for a moment before she said, "I see. Thank you for coming to the palace." After saying that, she turned around and asked someone to bring a reward to Nanny Chen. Without saying anything else, she just had Nanny Chen sent out of the palace.

Li Qingyi jumped down from the chair, walked to the queen and stretched out his hands for a hug.

The queen pulled the corners of her lips, bent down and picked her up. Before she could speak, she heard Li Qingyi say, "Is mother unhappy?"

Queen: “Well, a little.”

Li Qingyi: "Will my mother be angry with my future sister-in-law?"

The Queen shook her head: "Of course not. Lord Lu is so old, and Queen Mother was not unaware of it before. She also made some preparations, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Birth, aging, sickness and death are just part of human nature.

The Queen was not a domineering person. "Your sister-in-law waited for your brother for three years. Now, you are asking your brother to wait for another three years... I am just worried that the prince will not get married and have no children, which is not stable."

Hearing this, Li Qingyi blinked, not quite understanding what the queen meant.

The Queen also saw that Li Qingyi didn't understand. After thinking for a while, she gently hugged her and explained: "The Crown Prince is the future new emperor. If there is no successor, it won't matter if it's short-term, but if it's long-term, people's hearts may change."

She was not worried that the emperor would abandon the prince because of this matter, nor was she worried that the prince would make a mistake because the wedding date was postponed again. She was just worried that if it dragged on like this, some people with ulterior motives would find opportunities to create more trouble.

Don't say it's impossible. For some people, as long as they find an opportunity, they will pounce on it like a hyena and take every piece of meat they can.

Li Qingyi was silent.

The Queen's perspective on this matter was obviously different from hers. For Li Qingyi, both the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were still young, and there was no problem in postponing the marriage for another three years.

In fact, Li Qingyi thought this was a good thing for the Crown Princess.

Her future sister-in-law is one and a half years younger than the prince and will only turn eighteen this autumn. At this age, she is still a student in modern times.

There were no contraceptive methods in this era, or rather, most people did not think about contraception, and they just wanted to have more children. Young couples married early and had children early, but childbirth for women was like going through hell, and the earlier they gave birth, the more likely it was to cause trouble.

On the contrary, it is safer to have children after the age of 20.

The children are also healthier.

After all, children grow up by absorbing nutrition from their mothers. If the mother is not fully developed, how can there be enough nutrition to nurture the child? In this way, the mother's body will be seriously damaged and the child will be prone to premature death.

But it is obvious that as the crown prince and the queen, they have more things to consider and more things to worry about.

So, Li Qingyi swallowed back what he wanted to say.

She thought, as a rookie, she shouldn't speak carelessly at a time like this.

It wouldn't be a big deal if she just said something wrong. Her mother wouldn't blame her or laugh at her anyway.

But if he accidentally misled the Queen and caused some big mistake, that would be terrible.

It is important for people to know themselves. This is truly a true saying.

Before leaving, Li Qingyi still remembered the important business. The queen did not ask her what she wanted the people to do outside the palace. Or maybe the queen was not interested in this at the moment. She simply arranged ten people for Li Qingyi to walk outside the palace.

It was only then that Li Qingyi realized that her mother did not rely solely on the Huo family outside the palace, but also had her own people.

Li Qingyi: Okay, I’m the only naive person in my family.
