After a brief silence, Liu Daming was the first to speak.

Liu Daming: […It’s not surprising. Second Senior Brother is always like this.]

Wang Xuan: [Hehe, I learned this from the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess wanted to thank your Second Senior Brother, but he said he was just talking about the matter, not for the Seventh Princess. He also said the Seventh Princess didn’t need to thank him, and if the Seventh Princess did anything bad, he would scold her.]

Liu Daming: [Well, Second Senior Brother is like this. Not to mention the Imperial Censor, he even scolded the teacher for drinking and causing trouble last time.]

Liu Daming: [You actually know the princess? It seems that you were doing well when I didn't know.]

Liu Daming: [Teacher said that the best that Second Senior Brother can do in his life is to be a minister of remonstrance until death, and the emperor above him must be tolerant, otherwise...]

Liu Daming: [But Second Senior Brother is not that reckless. He won’t do anything that would endanger his life, so the teacher is still quite confident in him.]

Chen Qicong: [There is no rush for your second senior brother. The impeachment of the Seventh Princess by the imperial censors before was probably a test of the emperor's attitude. As for impeaching your second senior brother... as long as the emperor doesn't care, this so-called impeachment is just another form of quarrel, and it's not a big problem.]

Chen Qicong: [As for you, where are you now? ]

Liu Daming reported a place name.

Liu Daming: [Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will enter Beijing.]

Liu Daming: [Want to meet? ]

Wang Xuan: [Well, not for now.]

Chen Qicong explained that they wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the system to hide some of their own people.

Liu Daming thought about it and realized something: [The emperor is targeting you? ]

Wang Xuan: [Ah, I guess I am making money for the emperor now.]

Chen Qicong: [It’s because I’m close to Wang Xuan.]

Li Zhu spoke faintly: [My teacher threw me directly in front of the emperor and the prince.]

Hu Pingan: […Uh, I don’t need to say anything?]

Liu Daming's voice was filled with a hint of laughter: [Regarding the divine seed... ah, it's about sweet potatoes. I also heard about it when I was on the road. You are really amazing.]

Hu Pingan was very modest: [It was just good luck. ]

Liu Daming: [This is not just luck, it is because you have the knowledge to spot sweet potatoes in the wild. If it were me, I would not be able to recognize their leaves and flowers even if they were growing right in front of me, let alone in the mountains.]

Wang Xuan: [Haha, for those of us who only have theoretical knowledge, we know sweet potatoes, but we are not sure what they look like before they come out of the field.]

Hu Pingan smiled softly and explained: "I got to know him because my family is also farmers and I go back to my hometown to help every year. 】

Li Qingyi saw that they were chatting harmoniously. Just then a palace maid came over and said that the prince had arrived. Li Qingyi immediately put down the conversation and ran to the front to find Li Li.

The reason why Li Yan came this time was, firstly, to deliver some things to his mother on behalf of his fiancée, and secondly, to inquire about Li Qingyi's leaving the palace today.

Seeing his sister coming over, Li Yu smiled, bent down and picked her up, asking, "I heard that my sister encountered some bad things when she left the palace today. Were you frightened?"

Li Qingyi shook her head, put her small hand on the prince's shoulder, and said softly, "I'm not frightened. I have Aunt Fangxin and guards by my side, so I'm not afraid of anyone hurting me. I just felt bad when I saw a child almost kidnapped."

Prince: "I heard that he is from the Xie family?"

Li Qingyi nodded. She had already said the same thing twice in front of the emperor and the empress today. She was too lazy to say it a third time, so she said, "Yes, my brother, I'm thirsty. Let my aunt talk to you."

There was nothing to hide between the brother and sister. Li Yu was not angry when Li Qingyi said this. He smiled, looked at the queen, and sat down with her in his arms. He personally took the honey water brought by the palace maid and put it to Li Qingyi's lips, and asked Fang Xin: "Then please tell me what happened at that time, aunt."

Fang Xin responded with a smile, and then slowly spoke.

After listening to Fang Xin's narration, the prince's brows had already furrowed, as if a dark cloud had gathered on his forehead. He lowered his eyes to look at Li Qingyi, and the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated, as if the dark cloud was blown away by a breeze. He asked softly: "In this case, my sister really saved Xie Wei's life today, and the Xie family must thank you very much."

Li Qingyi and Wang Xuan could both sense that something was wrong. The prince, who had grown up surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues, naturally reacted faster. Just by hearing Fang Xin's words, he guessed that there was something fishy.

However, he would not tell Li Qingyi about the twists and turns in his mind at this time.

Li Qingyi knew that the prince was much smarter than herself. The prince must have thought of what she had thought of, and he had probably also thought of what she had not thought of. There was no need for her to explain it to the prince.

The prince gently rubbed Li Qingyi's cheek, and then said: "Now that the person has been rescued, the Xie family will definitely take good care of him, so you don't have to worry about it, sister."

Li Qingyi nodded: "Well, I also met Xie Wei's father today. He already knows about this matter. I think he will find out the truth."

When she said this, the prince knew that Li Qingyi had also noticed the unusualness of this matter. He smiled but changed the subject: "How is your schoolwork recently, sister? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Li Qingyi: "...Why did you suddenly ask me about my homework, brother?"

The prince smiled and then said, "Today, I overheard a few adults talking about their children's studies. Lord Pu was very worried. He said that his daughter was quite talented in studying, but his son was a blockhead. He was very worried these days."

The prince said: "I mentioned your studies, but those gentlemen complimented me, but I could see that they did not believe me."

Li Qingyi: ...

I understand. It's unsuccessful to show off my sister outside, so I want to find out how she is doing in her studies and whether there is a chance for her to show off outside.

Li Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be at the top of the list among kids of my age."

She studied seriously instead of just giving up just because she was a time traveler. In addition, Li Qingyi had her own way of learning, and she thought that she was not an ordinary child.

Yes, normal kids.

Li Qingyi could not compare with those genius prodigies, nor did he intend to compare with such people.

Some people are blessed by God, and even have people following them to feed them. Why should an ordinary person like her compare herself with such biological sons and daughters?

Li Qingyi: "Besides, there are female officials in the court nowadays. If Lord Pu really thinks his son is not good enough, it would be okay to train his daughter well."
