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

Before Li Qingyi could explain anything, the Seventh Princess came up with an idea. She stood up and said, "Hey, you reminded me. I have to inform the Empress Defei about this matter. Otherwise, the Empress Defei will hear only half of the news and misunderstand that I am against my second sister. That would be bad."

"Sister, play with your raccoon for a while. I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Li Qingyi stretched out her hand, grabbed the air vaguely, slowly turned her head to look towards the door, and blinked: "Seventh sister, this is too hasty."

After thinking for a while, Li Qingyi instructed the palace servants: "It is estimated that the seventh sister will be back soon, so put the prepared tea and snacks in the tea room first, and serve them up when the seventh sister comes later."

If the time is up, the food can be distributed to the palace servants and won't be wasted.

The palace maids all responded in unison.

Li Qingyi tried to stand up while holding the black cat, but she found that her small arms and legs were only suitable for holding it in place. Even if the cat cooperated and did not struggle, she could not hold it.

Li Qingyi had no choice but to let go and patted Black Cat's head: "Let's go in."

After entering the house, the black cat walked around Li Qingyi, rubbed her, and then ran to its own drinking place, gulping down the water, no longer paying attention to Li Qingyi's actions.

Li Qingyi was not surprised. He looked down at the few obvious black hairs that had accidentally stained his body. He stood by the curtain and let the palace servants clean them up. He asked Fang Xin, "Is there any movement from my mother's side?"

This is about the Ninth Princess.

Fang Xin: "There's no movement from the queen, so I guess it's nothing serious."

Li Qingyi nodded after hearing this: "Okay. As for Concubine Chang, you can help me send some things over. I won't go over."

Fang Xin: "Yes, I'll remember that."

No matter what happened to Concubine Chang, Li Qingyi knew some of the circumstances. Since she had a good relationship with the Ninth Princess, she couldn't pretend she knew nothing and had to say something.

Otherwise, if Li Qingyi did nothing, although no one might care, some people or Concubine Chang herself might feel that she, the Eleventh Princess, looked down on her.

It's a bit ridiculous, but it's possible.

These were taught to Li Qingyi by the Queen.

To Li Qingyi, these things are very troublesome, but she can understand them.

Just like she was a teacher in her previous life, no matter whether the parents sent gifts or not, she treated all students equally, and she would do what she should do and take responsibility for what she should take. However, parents have their own concerns, and they worry that if other families sent gifts but their family did not express any appreciation, their children would be treated coldly by the teacher.

After Li Qingyi finished giving the order, she lowered her head to look at her clothes. Although the palace servants had tried their best, as soon as she lowered her head, she still saw a cat hair on the hem of her clothes due to her excellent eyesight.

Li Qingyi: "..."

Thinking that he would have to eat soon, Li Qingyi said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll change my clothes."

Li Qingyi swore that she absolutely did not mean to dislike cats, but if she ate cat hair while eating, she didn't know where Xiao Xuan had been or what he had touched, if he got an upset stomach, given her current status, it would not be a matter for her alone.

She had a stomachache, and all the palace maids around her would be held accountable.

Therefore, Li Qingyi's attention to her health sometimes also brings her some other pressures.

She had just changed into a lotus-patterned dress when she heard some noise outside through the window. She asked, "Is Seventh Sister back?"

However, to her surprise, the person who came was not the Seventh Princess, but the Crown Prince.

"Royal brother? Why are you here at this time? Is there something?" When Li Qingyi heard the rumor that the crown prince had arrived, he did not waste any time and went out directly to greet the crown prince Li Li.

The black cat was licking its fur leisurely in the corner. When it saw her go out, it followed her directly. It trotted a few steps to behind Li Qingyi, then slowed down its pace and followed Li Qingyi like a little guard.

After Li Yu entered the room, he saw his little sister walking out with an inexplicably majestic black cat, and the contrast was immediate.

But, so cute!

Li Yu paused, unable to control the smile on his face: "I just came out from my father's place, and by the way, I was delivering something to my mother on his behalf. I thought it wouldn't take too long, so I came to see you."

During this period, both the court and the harem were very busy.

The imperial examinations were relatively easy. There were established rules, and as long as the examiners were determined, most things could be done according to the convention. The details could be adjusted based on actual conditions, and as long as there were enough people, the work could be handled.

But since the envoys from various countries came together this year, and it also coincided with the imperial examination, the things they had to deal with were not as simple as one plus one.

As the emperor's number one tool, the prince naturally has no time to rest.

Even so, the prince still had to keep an eye on Li Qingyi and Huo Xu. At this time, the emperor said that he wanted to replace Li Zhu, who had been working well for him recently. The prince had many doubts in his heart, but he still worked hard without complaint.

There's no way, who makes him the prince?

If he is too busy now, and he really takes over the position of emperor in the future, if he cannot find a trustworthy and reliable tool like himself for a while, all things will fall on him alone. What will he do then?

Therefore, the prince's statement that he would visit Li Qingyi by the way showed that he liked Li Qingyi very much.

Li Qingyi carefully examined Li Yu's complexion and saw the dark circles under his eyes. He felt distressed for a moment: "Brother, have you not had a good rest recently?"

Aren’t these dark circles too obvious?

Li Yu followed her line of sight, touched his eyes, and said with a smile: "Ah, this, oh, I forgot to cover it up when I came, and you saw it, sister."

"It just looks a little serious, but I actually rest well every day. After all, if I don't get enough rest, not only will I not finish my work, but I won't be able to handle things the next day properly, which is putting the cart before the horse."

"It's just that I don't know why your brother seems to be prone to this. I asked the imperial physician and he said that everyone's symptoms are different. Some may look more serious, but in fact they are not a problem."

The prince said, raising his hand and patting Li Qingyi's little head, not too hard: "Don't worry, my brother knows what's going on."

Li Qingyi looked at him suspiciously, but he also knew that even if he asked more questions at this time, his brother would not change his story.

Whether true or false.

So she could only secretly decide to ask the system to see if she could find out how her brother had been sleeping recently. She pretended to believe it and nodded maturely, "Is that so? Just ask the imperial physician to take a look. My brother is still young, and our father is still here. Even if there are so many things to do, you should take care of yourself first."

After a pause, Li Qingyi looked around and confirmed that they were all his own people. Then he lowered his voice and said to the prince, "Royal brother, you must not be like uncle!"

Li Yu’s smile froze.
