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

Xie Chengyao raised his eyes slightly.

Li Qingyi: [Hearing what you said earlier, I felt that Li Benqing was not the corrupt official he was before, so what is the misunderstanding here? ]

System: [First, it is true that Li Benqing was trying to smooth things over between Xie Chengyao and the local prominent families, but Li Benqing did not intentionally cause trouble for Xie Chengyao. He also had his own reasons.]

In the systematic explanation, Li Qingyi went through several detours before he roughly understood Li Benqing's thoughts.

Li Benqing's governance method is the kind of thing that wants to control the lower class through the upper class. Once the upper class is in control, as long as the situation can be stabilized, then it is not a big deal if the lower class loses some interests.

But Xie Chengyao is different. He is the type of official who values ​​the interests of the people more. The essential differences between the two are destined to cause conflicts between them, and such conflicts may sometimes even lead to bloodshed.

Fortunately, Xie Chengyao had his own background and was well-known to the emperor, and Li Benqing was not a ruthless person. Therefore, although there were conflicts between the two, they were only conflicts in the officialdom and did not continue to deteriorate.

Li Qingyi: [People like Li Benqing... should be considered very common nowadays. 】

System: [Almost. But judging from the achievements Li Benqing has made in various places over the years, his governance method cannot be said to be wrong. Moreover, Li Benqing will not tolerate those who have killed people.]

Li Qingyi also understood that Li Benqing was probably the type of person who would be more tolerant towards others as long as they did not cross his bottom line.

Whether it is because of his youthful vigor or because of his own personality, Xie Chengyao cannot tolerate any flaws and likes to finish things as soon as they are done.

Although Li Qingyi didn't like officials like Li Benqing very much, she also knew that in the officialdom, people like Li Benqing who still had their own principles were already considered good.

No one is perfect…

Li Qingyi: [So Li Benqing...dislikes Xie Chengyao because of his behavior? ]

System: [Well, judging from the system data, Li Benqing still admires Xie Chengyao. He recognizes Xie Chengyao's talents and does not completely deny some of Xie Chengyao's policies, but he thinks Xie Chengyao is too impatient and not thorough enough.]

System: [But if you ask me how much ill will Li Benqing has towards Xie Chengyao, I don't have any. Ah, so my previous summary of love turning into hate doesn't seem to be that appropriate...]

Li Qingyi: [Hate iron for not being able to become steel? ]

System: [Yeah. 】

All the officials looked at Xie Chengyao quietly.

Xie Chengyao: ...

Xie Chengyao was in mixed feelings.

At this time, Li Qingyi suddenly asked: [If this is the case, then Liu Yushi's behavior today was probably not instructed by Li Benqing.]

System: [Yes! ]

Liu Yushi quietly lowered his presence: ...

Censor Liu lowered his head, wanting to cry but without tears: No, why do you think of me again at this time!

Xie Chengyao's mood also paused slightly.

Yes, judging from what the system said, Li Benqing didn't seem like the type of person who would pursue Xie Chengyao and cause trouble for him after he returned to Beijing...

System: [The person behind Liu Yushi is not Li Benqing, but the person behind him is indeed deliberately trying to cause trouble for Xie Chengyao. It would be best if Xie Chengyao loses his loyalty, so that some of his arrangements can proceed.]

Officials: Can you tell me in detail?

Li Qingyi knew it after hearing what the system said. The so-called mastermind behind the scenes was probably another story.

System: [Does the host want to eat Xie Chengyao's melon now? ]

Li Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it for now."

As he spoke, Li Qingyi asked again in confusion: [Why are they so quiet? Did Xie Chengyao just say something earth-shattering and soul-stirring? Why is everyone silent? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials who had been listening attentively were shocked, and then the court soon became lively again.

System: [Oh, I know what's going on. It's a synergistic effect.]

Emperor: What?

Li Qingyi understood what he said. After a few seconds of reaction, he exclaimed: "Oh, it's just like when a class is noisy at first, but suddenly becomes quiet, right? That should be the result of the synergistic effect and social psychological effect. I remember reading relevant information. 】

System: [That’s right! ]

Emperor: ...Okay, there are more words that I don’t understand.

Although it is not clear what class Li Qingyi was talking about, the general meaning can still be understood in the context.

The officials who heard the same words also breathed a sigh of relief: Great, it was dealt with again.

Li Qingyi had previously experienced how the court was as noisy as a vegetable market. After listening to what the system said, he felt that it made sense and did not think much about it.

However, after eating the melon of Li Benqing and Xie Chengyao, and also having something to do with Mrs. Xie, Li Qingyi also felt a little tired.

Later, when Xie Chengyao started talking about local affairs, Li Qingyi realized that this was a serious report in front of all the officials, and he lost consciousness while listening.

The emperor was the first to notice it. He looked down at the sweetly sleeping little girl in his arms and gave a very gentle smile.

——————————————————————————————

When Li Qingyi woke up again, she found herself back in Kunning Palace. The first thing she saw was a familiar environment. She blinked her eyes, yawned lazily after a while, and slowly sat up.

"Your Highness, you are awake."

Fang Xin was the first to step forward and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you hungry? I asked someone to prepare food. The Queen is handling palace affairs next door. She said that after you wake up and eat something, you can go to the Queen. She has something to tell you."

Li Qingyi heard this and nodded obediently: "Let's wash up first."

Fang Xin responded with a smile, and then called a little palace maid to help Li Qingyi wash and change into a light green dress.

After finishing the snacks, Li Qingyi looked at the sky again. She felt that it would rain today, but she didn't say anything. She led a group of palace servants to find the queen.

The Queen did have something to ask her.

"Come, Yi'er, come to your mother." As the queen said this, she put down the book in her hand and waved to her with a smile.

Li Qingyi walked over without the help of the palace maids. She climbed onto the chair and sat down. She looked up at the queen and said, "Mother, my aunt said you had something to tell me. What is it?"

The queen smiled, looked up at Fang Xin, and then looked at her confidant beside her.

The two understood what he meant. Fang Xin looked at Li Qingyi again, and after getting Li Qingyi's permission, she and the Queen's confidant led the other palace servants out.

After everyone left, Li Qingyi's expression became serious: "Mother, what happened?"
