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

Even Li Qingyi did not expect that Xiao Xuan would suddenly appear at this time, and in such a way.

She was stunned for a moment, and then before the emperor could figure out the situation, she quickly reached out her hand, pulled the black cat that had just stood on the emperor's other shoulder into her arms, and hugged it tightly.

Xiao Xuan: Meow?

Fortunately, the black cat had come to find Li Qingyi in the first place. After realizing that it was Li Qingyi herself who was hugging him, he did not struggle much. He just tried to look up at her, and then he nestled obediently in her arms, patting the emperor's arm from time to time with his tail.

So, the current situation has become that the emperor is holding Li Qingyi, and Li Qingyi is holding the black cat.

Everyone; "..."

Huang Kang was the first to react. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out for a moment.

At this time, if the black cat was not Li Qingyi's cat, Huang Kang would definitely call for someone to protect him first.

Even if the cat was Li Qingyi's cat, Huang Kang should have found a way to take the cat away from the emperor.

But, in this situation...

Huang Kang could only observe the emperor's expression carefully.

The emperor's expression was... expressionless.

After realizing what had just happened, the emperor looked down at his daughter who was looking at him innocently, his brows twitched, and he looked at the offender who was now in his arms.

The Emperor: "Is this the raccoon you picked up, Yi'er?"

Li Qingyi nodded obediently: "Yes, father, Xiaoxuan is very well behaved."

Emperor: "...Is it coming for you?"

Li Qingyi nodded obediently.

Li Qingyi thought about it and finally defended his cat: "Xiao Xuan didn't mean to offend you, father. He just saw me here and didn't think too much about it."

Well, what did the cat do wrong? At most, the cat thought the emperor was a cat climbing frame and climbed up, but the cat did not sharpen its claws on the emperor.

The emperor remained silent again.

After a while, the emperor said, "We need to find someone to tame this raccoon."

Facing Li Qingyi's eyes that were suddenly filled with worry, the emperor paused for a moment before saying, "At least arrange for someone to follow."

Li Qingyi thought about it and felt that if Black Cat wanted to live in this palace, he really couldn't run around anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay then."

Anyway, her biological father would definitely not secretly execute Xiaoxuan because of this incident.

However, after such an incident, the emperor was no longer in the mood to care about the eunuch secretly baking bread. He took Li Qingyi away and left with a message before leaving: "Clean up, and by the way, find out who withheld the food of these palace servants."

If you are really greedy, that's fine.

But looking at the young eunuch, he was so thin that he was just skin and bones. It was obvious that he was very hungry, so he took the risk to do such a thing.

The actions of these young palace maids and eunuchs did violate palace rules, but the emperor was not so unkind as to execute several palace maids for such a small matter.

But the appropriate punishment must still be given. Otherwise, if we let it go this time, who knows what will happen in the Imperial Garden next time.

Li Qingyi also saw what happened today. Given the emperor's fondness for the Eleventh Princess and the fact that Li Qingyi had already paid attention to the little eunuch, even if there was a punishment, it would not be too severe and would certainly not be serious.

On the contrary, the person behind the scenes who withheld the little eunuch's food, causing him to starve to such an extent and even risking making a mistake, will probably not have a good outcome once he is found out.

Huang Kang did not leave with the emperor and the others, but stayed behind to handle the matter. After arranging for someone to check who was in charge of these palace servants, he looked at the trembling eunuch and smiled friendly: "What's your name?"

The young eunuch had just mustered up the courage to answer the Emperor and the Eleventh Princess, but he was frightened by the sudden appearance of the black cat. After being interrupted once, he dared not speak again.

At this moment Huang Kang asked another question. In fact, the little eunuch was not much better off against him than against the emperor and the eleventh princess, because Huang Kang's reputation in the palace, especially among the palace people, was not much worse than those masters above.

But the young eunuch raised his head slightly, and seeing Huang Kang's friendly smile that was like a spring breeze, his nervousness was relieved a little, and he answered cautiously: "Your servant, your servant Ou Qiu, see, see, see..."

As he spoke, the young eunuch named Ou Qiu was about to kneel down, but Huang Kang held him up with a smile: "Hey, we are all family here, there is no need to be so polite."

Although it is unclear how much attention the young prince pays to Ou Qiu, and he may forget about the little eunuch immediately, Huang Kang is not the kind of person who needs others to kneel down to show his status. It is completely fine for him to be gentle to a poor little eunuch.

Huang Kang's support seemed to have finally relieved the eunuch's nervousness and fear. No one knew what he was thinking about, but his eyes suddenly became red and he choked up and said, "Slave, I... I am not..."

Huang Kang smiled, stretched out his hand and gently patted the eunuch's back, feeling the touch of his hands almost directly through the clothes to touch the bones, frowned calmly, and his tone was still so gentle and amiable: "Don't worry, don't worry, talk slowly, if you have any grievances, tell me slowly."

Like comforting or reminding, Huang Kang said with a smile: "You will have great fortune in the future."

——————————————————————————————

Because his father was most likely mad at his cat, Li Qingyi was very honest when he was taken back to Kunning Palace and didn't mention anything else.

When he saw the empress going out to greet the emperor upon hearing the news, Li Qingyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief: That's great, although my biological father would probably not hold it against me, I was finally relieved when I saw that my biological mother was there.

Maybe it’s because biological mother is the last safety bolt, even though Li Qingyi has never been beaten in her life.

Li Qingyi had been staying in the emperor's arms the entire time. Naturally, the emperor could not have failed to notice her little change, and he immediately felt a little amused.

When the empress saw the emperor smiling, she thought that the emperor was in a good mood today and did not think much about it. She led the palace maids to perform the ceremony. After being helped up by the emperor himself, she smiled and asked, "Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood today. What good thing happened?"

As she spoke, the queen naturally reached out and took Li Qingyi from the emperor's arms.

As for the black cat, when the emperor took Li Qingyi to Kunning Palace, it jumped out of Li Qingyi's arms, licked its fur after landing lightly, meowed at Li Qingyi, and then ran back to Kunning Palace.

At this moment, it was lying on the wall of Kunning Palace, squinting its eyes and watching the family of three walking in.

Li Qingyi winked at it: What are you still doing here? Go away, don't let my father remember you again!

Xiao Xuan: Meow?

The cat tilted its head. The cat didn’t understand.
