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

The seventh princess was talking excitedly when she suddenly felt something touch her leg.

She paused for a moment, and when she looked down, she saw a black cat circling around her legs and looking up at the person in her arms.

The Seventh Princess: "Ah, this is your raccoon."

Li Qingyi nodded, patted the Seventh Princess's arm to signal her to let him go, and after landing, he touched the black cat's head and said, "He must be tired from playing outside, so he came back to ask me for something to eat."

The Seventh Princess muttered, "Then he is quite clever."

Quite smart, Li Qingyi thought.

At first, Li Qingyi tried hard to recall the cat-raising knowledge she had absorbed from her surroundings in her previous life, and seriously wanted to raise this cat that looked very handsome. However, she found out... the cat had its own ideas and she didn't need to worry too much.

If Xuanmao had not returned to Li Qingyi to stay with him for a while every day since that day, Li Qingyi might have doubted whether he was really raising a cat.

But, is this also okay?

She petted the cat, and Xiao Xuan also got a fixed ration of food. A win-win situation?

The Seventh Princess looked at the black cat. She was actually quite interested in the black cat that her Eleventh Sister had just adopted. However, the Seventh Princess herself was not interested in raising any small animals. The only animal she raised was her own horse.

Seeing Li Qingyi getting close to the black cat that was almost taller than her when standing up, the Seventh Princess squatted down, reached out her hand to touch it tentatively, but when the black cat dodged her, she did not force it.

The Seventh Princess: "Well, your Ninth Sister and I are busy with this matter today. Now that woman has lost face in front of those noble ladies. I wonder if she dares to ask for money from the Second Sister next time."

The Seventh Princess did not think that what she did was excessive. She just exposed the other party's true face. So far, she had only threatened the other party verbally and did nothing else.

Firstly, he didn't order anyone to arrest her, and secondly, he didn't attack her. As for her reputation in the circle of noble ladies... they were not from the same circle to begin with, and if they were forced to integrate, even if things seemed good for a while, how could those noble ladies not know the true situation of that person after a long time?

By then, even if the Seventh Princess did not come to expose the truth, the other party would not have a good life.

After all, the Seventh Princess would not bother to use any insidious tricks against a little girl, but the same might not be true for the others.

Who knows, there might be someone who feels humiliated by being deceived and wants to teach the other person a lesson?

When the time comes, haha.

Although the Seventh Princess has exposed the other party now, and perhaps some people have the same idea, but in fact, in a way, the Seventh Princess's actions can be regarded as a kind of protection - after all, anyone in the capital who has some information channels knows that what the Seventh Princess hates most is conspiracy and calculation, especially the kind of harem tactics.

If anyone uses that kind of means and runs into the Seventh Princess, no matter whether he has any relationship with the Seventh Princess or not, she will not give him any face at all.

In this way, those who offended the Seventh Princess avoided these things because they did not want to offend the Seventh Princess.

Li Qingyi: "Well, what if she uses this incident to make trouble in front of my second sister..."

Seventh Princess: "How can she be so shameless?"

Li Qingyi: "...That's not clear."

Li Qingyi really didn't know about this matter.

After all, there are many different kinds of people. Many times, Li Qingyi cannot understand the behavior patterns of some people from his own perspective, while some people's behavior patterns are the kind that he cannot understand even if he knows the background.

The Seventh Princess: "...I'll send someone to keep an eye on her. If she really dares to do this, I'll really take action."

The Seventh Princess usually doesn't attack girls. It's not because she thinks girls are delicate, but because they are both women. Although she lives more recklessly than some girls, but...

As she grew older, the Seventh Princess came into contact with more and more people and things, and she increasingly understood how lucky she was to have a father like the emperor and an identity like a princess.

And those women outside the palace sometimes have a very difficult life.

The atmosphere in the capital is actually quite open, as can be seen from the fact that today those noble ladies can casually invite each other to go out of the city for fun.

However, in the open capital, there have been cases of favoring boys over girls, and these cases have occurred quite frequently.

In an environment like the modern one, it is difficult for some people to change their ideas and concepts, let alone the current era and environment.

Ironically, sometimes people who put profit above all else are less likely to discriminate against girls. After all, in their minds, profit is the most important thing.

As long as it can bring them enough benefits, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl.

Among those who are cooperating with Wang Xuan now, there are many such people. For them, it doesn’t matter whether Wang Xuan is a man or a woman. As long as she has the ability, there will be no problem in cooperating with her.

In short, because she knew that girls had a harder time than boys in the current environment, the Seventh Princess would naturally be more tolerant towards girls... Well, so the fact that she didn't just rush over and beat the guy up this time was already a manifestation of the Seventh Princess' gentleness.

Li Qingyi: "Seventh sister, I'm afraid Second sister has to figure this out herself."

Otherwise, even if the Seventh Princess, out of kindness, helped the Second Princess deal with this so-called cousin this time, the next time a similar situation occurred, the Second Princess might let down her guard and give the thing away.

Hearing this, the Seventh Princess fell silent and rubbed her brows, "I don't know how she developed this temper. We are all princesses, and no one has bullied her, right?"

Li Qingyi thought for a while and remembered that the second princess's biological mother was Concubine De. He wanted to find the reason from her biological mother, but found that his doubts increased instead of decreased.

Concubine De... was also one of the high-ranking concubines in the palace. Moreover, she was a fertility maniac, giving birth to the fourth prince, the sixth prince, the second princess, the third princess and the sixth princess.

This girl should have a physique that allows her to get pregnant easily, otherwise there is no way to explain why her biological father arranged the dates for all the concubines in the harem, except the queen, to be so outstanding and gave birth to one child after another.

The third princess and the sixth princess both died young. After the sixth princess died, Concubine De never gave birth again, probably because giving birth to too many children harmed her body.

In this way, the second princess is the only princess raised by Concubine De. Logically, it shouldn't exist that her younger sisters are deprived of maternal love... wait, Concubine De has two sons.

Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still asked the Seventh Princess: "Seventh Sister, what do you think of Concubine De?"

Seventh Princess: "Hmm? Concubine De? Why did you suddenly remember to ask her?"
