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

Hearing Li Qingyi's words, the prince and the queen looked at each other.

The Queen smiled and said, "Master Pu should be Master Pu Lianhuapu from the Honglu Temple."

The prince smiled and nodded and said yes.

Queen: "That's right. If I remember correctly, this Mr. Pu married into the Yang family because his family was poor. Later, with the support of the Yang family, he studied for the imperial examination and passed the examination. In the same year, his wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The Yang family was very happy."

Queen: "Although there is no obvious criticism of son-in-law in this dynasty, many people still subconsciously look down on him. The Yang family is worried that this matter will affect Mr. Pu's career. After discussing with Mr. Pu, they changed the name to a normal marriage. The son of the twins will take Mr. Pu's surname, and the daughter will take her mother's surname Yang."

Queen: "Master Pu may not mean to dislike his daughter, but the two families have agreed that the Yang family business will be inherited by the daughter, while Master Pu's will be inherited by his son."

Queen: "That's why Master Pu looks so sad."

Pu Lianhua might not be unhappy about his daughter's excellence, but his daughter already has a backup in the Yang family, so her excellence or not has little impact on Lord Pu.

But his son directly affects Mr. Pu's future inheritance. Unless Pu Lianhua is the kind of parent who spoils his son excessively, he will feel uncomfortable when he finds that his son is not making progress.

Li Qingyi: "There is such a thing."

The prince was somewhat surprised: "My mother also knows these things."

The queen smiled and said, "Although I sit in the palace all day, I am not completely ignorant of the news outside the palace."

The prince said: "Yes, I thought too simply."

It's not that he thought the queen was unaware of what was happening outside, he just thought that the queen would not pay special attention to such trivial matters.

The queen smiled and then picked out a few interesting stories in the capital, all of which were secrets in the homes of court officials that were not well known to outsiders.

Li Qingyi and the prince were stunned. Finally, Li Qingyi asked the system quietly: "My mother doesn't have a melon-eating system, does she?"

If the system could be materialized, it would definitely shake its head wildly at this time: [No, no, I am the only system in this world! The Queen just has her own information channel. ]

After a pause, the system added: [Some things were not specifically inquired by the Queen, but when those ladies came to the palace to meet the Queen, they would occasionally deliberately bring up the family affairs of the people who were against them, probably to suppress the other party in this way.]

After all, given the queen's current status in the court and in the emperor's heart, if someone really left a bad impression on the queen, even if it didn't work for a while, it would suddenly work at some critical moment.

It is impossible to say that the Queen didn't notice it at all.

But this is also the way for the queen to obtain information, so the queen would just smile every time and listen to whatever others said.

Occasionally, when we encounter something outrageous, we will send people to verify it. If it is true, we will deal with it according to the circumstances. We cannot let it go and corrupt the atmosphere in the capital.

Li Qingyi: […Then my mother is really amazing. ]

System: [That’s right, the Queen is naturally powerful. ]

The prince stayed until the evening and left only after having dinner with the queen and his sister.

Shortly after the prince left, Li Qingyi also returned to his residence.

At night, East Palace.

After the prince met the Eastern Palace, he changed his clothes and washed up as usual. After entering the bedroom, he called his confidant and instructed him expressionlessly: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Xie family in the next few days. If there is any movement, report to me at any time."

The confidant bowed and responded, then asked, "Your Highness, but what about the Eleventh Princess..."

The prince waved his hand and said calmly, "Yier is fine, I just don't like someone disturbing her mood."

Confidant: "I understand."

At the same time, Qianqing Palace.

The emperor, who had been busy all day, put down his pen, stood up and walked around, then said to Huang Kang, who had been standing respectfully at one side, "What's the result of the Xie family today?"

Huang Kang bowed and said, "In reply to the emperor, I have not received any news yet."

The emperor smiled, thinking of Xie Chengyao who had left in a hurry, and thinking of Xie Chengyao's style of doing things while in office, he touched his chin and said, "During the years since Xie Chengyao left Beijing, some people in the Xie family may have forgotten what kind of person he is, and actually set their sights on his son. This really hits the nail on the head for this beloved minister of mine."

Huang Kang also laughed: "With Lord Xie here, I think whoever did it will be skinned alive."

Xie Chengyao is a man who would not resort to violence if he did not, but it would be rare if he did not shed blood.

Moreover, he is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. He has been better in recent years and has become somewhat smoother. In his early years, he was like a sword out of its sheath. If it were not for his outstanding abilities and sufficient power to protect himself, his body would have been buried long ago.

It was also because their emperor had the vision and means to protect this capable minister.

Otherwise, if Xie Chengyao was thrown into the environment of the previous dynasty... Oh, then Xie Chengyao might have raised an army on his own.

The emperor laughed when he heard Huang Kang's words, but then he calmed down and said, "I still hope that this matter was just caused by the Xie family themselves. Otherwise, I will have another headache."

The court has been busy with the imperial examinations and the affairs of the envoys recently. If someone had any bad intentions towards Xie Chengyao's son at this time, the emperor would really have a headache.

Huang Kang bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need a servant..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need for now, let's see what Xie Chengyao does."

Huang Kang: “Yes.”

But at this moment, the Xie family was in deathly silence.

Xie Chengyao had a cold face, his eyes fell on the people kneeling in the hall. One of them had a tearful face and was still sobbing, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He shifted his gaze to the couple who were sitting restlessly not far from him, and sneered, "Uncle San and Aunt San, this is the good daughter you raised. I, Xie Chengyao, believe that I have never treated this good cousin badly, so how could she want to kill my son? Or is it that the Third House has a deep grudge against our First House, so she wishes that our First House would die out?"

The middle-aged man, who was called Third Uncle by Xie Chengyao, could no longer sit still after hearing this. He stood up and said hurriedly, "You can't say that. Caiying is still young and ignorant, so she made such a big mistake. But isn't Wei'er okay?"

Uncle San: "As for putting her to death, Caiying definitely didn't mean that. She, she must have been joking with her nephew..."

Xie Caiying also cried and said, "I, I was just joking with Wei'er, really..."

The father and daughter from the third room were still talking nonsense at this time, and Xie Chengyao's face suddenly became colder.

Xie Chengyao: “Really?”

Xie Chengyao sneered: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
