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

Huo Xu's actions were not obvious, and Li Qingyi was not the kind of person who paid attention to details, so she did not notice the subtle abnormality of her little cousin.

She just looked at him innocently and curiously, and asked again: "I thought my cousin should also study or practice martial arts. My mother told me before that my cousin was going to give it a try next year, so I didn't call him when I left the palace."

"If I had known that my cousin was free, I would have said hello to him."

After all, it is much more troublesome for her to leave the palace alone than to find someone to take her out of the palace. This can be seen from the fact that the number of people following her today has doubled.

Huo Xu tried hard to control the expression on his face and said with a smile: "Ah, I haven't been out much recently. I've been studying at home. It was just a coincidence today. A friend invited me and I just wanted to go out for a walk, so I went out for a walk and happened to meet you."

In fact, when Huo Xu saw the person who obviously belonged to Li Qingyi, he briefly thought about whether he should pretend he didn't see it.

But before he could think it through, the other party saw him first, so Huo Xu could only step forward and say hello. After asking, he heard the news that Li Qingyi was upstairs, and his mood was very complicated.

As for why Huo Xu wanted to run away...

The reason is simple, because he sneaked out today.

Li Qingyi soon learned this from the system.

Because Li Qingyi had switched to the team chat before, the system spoke directly in the team chat this time.

System: [Huo Xu lied. He didn't go out because of a friend's invitation.]

When Li Qingyi heard this, he didn't care much at first, but now the look he gave Huo Xu became subtle.

Why would you lie to her for no reason?

Wang Xuan: [Sure enough.]

Li Qingyi looked at Wang Xuan with some doubt in her eyes: [You know? ]

Wang Xuan was about to explain, but Huo Xu had already noticed the change in Li Qingyi's eyes at that moment, and immediately thought of the magical system beside Li Qingyi.

Although he did not hear any sound from the system, Huo Xu was not a stubborn person. He would not assume that the system did not exist just because he did not hear any sound. He quickly realized that the system should have other ways to communicate with Li Qingyi without letting others hear it.

Thinking about how he went out today and why he sneaked out, Huo Xu's face suddenly became embarrassed.

He cleared his throat, not caring about exposing himself if he spoke at this time, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Come to think of it, I didn't expect to meet the little prince here today. I just happen to have something to discuss with the little prince. I was planning to ask my sister to convey it to me in two days, but today is a good time."

Li Qingyi shifted his attention: "What's the matter?"

Huo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment he noticed the sympathetic gaze of Wang Xuan from the side.

Huo Xu:?

In fact, when Huo Xu opened his mouth, the system had already exposed his underwear with just one sentence.

System: [Huo Xu was a hero who saved a beautiful girl and beat up the young prince Li Ningmu in the Lin Palace the day before yesterday. He was punished to be grounded for half a month, and then he was not convinced and sneaked out today. ]

Wang Xuan: [Oh~]

Li Qingyi: [Hmm?]

Then, before Li Qingyi asked for details, Huo Xu spoke, and Li Qingyi's attention was briefly diverted.

So we have the current scene.

Huo Xu didn't know that Wang Xuan and Li Qingyi had a magical "telepathy". He naturally thought that if he couldn't hear the voices of the system and his princess cousin, then Wang Xuan shouldn't be able to hear them either.

After all, in terms of closeness, he, as a cousin, should be closer than Wang Xuan, right?

If he knew that Wang Xuan and Li Qingyi were chatting about something, he would probably cry out of sadness - just kidding.

Huo Xu spoke, not simply to divert Li Qingyi's attention, but to say something that was true: "Didn't the young prince arrange some people to go to Qingshan County before? My brother went back to his hometown a few days ago. He happened to meet the young prince's people on the way back from his hometown."

Li Qingyi frowned. She had asked the Queen to borrow people at that time, and the reason for sending them out was actually a bit unreasonable in the eyes of some people. After all, the reason Li Qingyi gave at the time was that she was curious about the so-called divine seeds, so she asked those people to go to the local area and buy some for her to bring back for her to have a look.

In fact, although Li Qingyi wanted these people to rescue Hu Ping'an, he did not hold much hope. After all, they were far away from where Hu Ping'an was. Even if Li Qingyi asked people to speed up, they would probably not be able to make it in time.

And this is indeed the case. When the Queen's men arrived in Qingshan County, Hu Ping'an and his family had already been transferred to a safe place by the Qingyi Guards. However, the "Hu Ping'an" they came into contact with when they arrived a little slower was actually a Qingyi Guard in disguise.

Fortunately, Li Qingyi had hinted to these people in a subtle way before they set off, and they did not bully others when acting locally, and their attitude towards "Hu Ping'an" was also relatively polite - although there were some individuals who looked down on others, but generally speaking, the interactions between the two sides were relatively polite.

Otherwise, if they pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed and did something inappropriate to "Hu Ping'an" or the "Hu family", the Qingyi Guards who temporarily replaced the Hu family would not do anything for the sake of the overall situation, but they would inevitably report everything to the emperor when they returned to Beijing to report.

By then, one can imagine what will happen to these people.

And they did their job honestly. After confirming the other party's whereabouts, the Qingyi Guards, for Li Qingyi's sake, took two baskets of sweet potatoes from Hu Ping'an's own small warehouse and gave them to him to take back to Beijing.

Of course, this was also approved by the imperial envoy.

In fact, they were willing to take out two baskets out of consideration for Li Qingyi, the Eleventh Princess. If it were anyone else, they would probably have refused directly.

Sweet potatoes have a high yield, but for various reasons, Hu Ping'an wants to promote sweet potatoes to as many places as possible, so most of the ones he grows are for seeds.

The Hu family couldn’t grow so much on their own, so all that Hu Ping’an produced was sold.

When the Qingyi Guards and the Imperial Envoy saw the warehouse full of sweet potatoes and learned that the sweet potatoes were grown on a few acres of land that Hu Ping'an had bought himself, they naturally understood the importance of these seeds.

Giving two baskets really shows respect to Li Qingyi.

Although the people working for Li Qingyi were a little hesitant, they thought that Li Qingyi was just curious, and that taking these back would be enough for the little princess. If she really liked them, they could come back and find a way to buy them in large quantities.

So this group of people quickly embarked on the return journey, and completely ignored the situation at the Yang family, without even taking a second look at it - it was so funny, they were all people active in the capital, and ordinary people could be instilled with a little political sensitivity, let alone them?
