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

In short, due to various reasons, Xia Jiaxing eventually became the fourth prince's study companion, and everything has been fine until now, which can be regarded as breaking the inexplicable reputation of the fourth prince at that time.

These things were what Li Qingyi accidentally encountered when she was eating melons on a daily basis.

However, she didn't get to eat this melon because of the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince has been guarding the border in the past few years. He came back to celebrate the New Year in the winter two years ago, and went back to guard the border without much delay after the New Year.

Last year, there was a riot in the northern border, so the Fourth Prince naturally did not come back.

Since the person is not around, given the nature of the melon-eating system, naturally they will not let Li Qingyi eat his melons for no reason.

Li Qingyi knew about this because she had heard about the gossips about those study companions, two of whom died because of this.

On the surface, the study partner died in an accident, but in reality, it was all due to shady plots, and the Fourth Prince was just unlucky and had his reputation implicated by these plots - obviously, the matter had nothing to do with him, but because one of the protagonists had the reputation of being his study partner, the Fourth Prince's reputation was also implicated.

It is hard to say whether the Fourth Prince did not want to find a study companion at the time because he knew the twists and turns involved and felt a little annoyed.

Although Li Qingyi was not very familiar with the Fourth Prince, she knew that her brother had a good relationship with the Fourth Prince because she often saw things and letters sent back by the Fourth Prince at the Crown Prince's place.

The prince did not take the initiative to show letters to Li Qingyi, but he did not avoid them deliberately, so Li Qingyi would occasionally see some of the contents.

She didn't quite understand what was written specifically, but she knew that the Fourth Prince was talking to the Crown Prince about the situation at the border, including content related to border generals and military defense. If the system hadn't said that this was a direct order from the Emperor to the Crown Prince, Li Qingyi's heart would have stopped beating out of fear.

In fact, from this point, it can also be seen that the emperor really values ​​the prince.

Her brother is not the kind of prince who is there just for show to stabilize the situation. This is really good news.

But her father was really bold. If you count the princes in history, few could be like her brother.

Because of the relationship with the Crown Prince, Li Qingyi still has a certain degree of favorability towards the Fourth Prince.

And now, when the Queen mentioned the study partner, the first thing Li Qingyi thought of was the Fourth Prince's inexplicable history of replacement of study partners, and the second person she thought of was Cao Yin.

As to why...ah, it's because he is the grandfather of the Cao family.

But this seems to have nothing to do with her study partner.

Li Qingyi's thoughts turned around and around, but soon he returned to himself. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Do we have to find a study partner?"

The queen was a little confused: "Why? You don't want to?"

Li Qingyi thought for a while, and finally did not beat around the bush with the Queen, and said directly: "I just think that if you want to find a study partner for me, you should probably find a girl who is close to my age. But, a girl of my age probably doesn't know anything at this age, right?"

As she spoke, Li Qingyi pouted and acted a little coquettishly: "So are you looking for a study partner for me, or are you asking me to take care of the child?"

She still had a face full of baby fat, and she spoke in a coquettish voice, acting like a child. Her words immediately made the queen feel a little funny.

The Queen said, "Since you are being assigned a study partner, it must be someone who is smart and sensible. We will not assign someone who knows nothing to be with you, as that would only be a burden to you."

Li Qingyi had more to say after hearing this: "It would be better to find those who are ignorant. Mother, you know me well. I am a simple person. If I find those who are full of cunning at a young age, how can I control them?"

This is the truth.

Li Qingyi is not a person with a strong desire for control, but she also doesn't like having people around her that she can't control.

If something went wrong, and she was used as his study partner, she would be implicated even if she knew nothing about it, just look at what happened to the Fourth Prince.

Upon hearing this, the queen was speechless for a moment.

The matter of tutoring is not just about finding someone to tutor Li Qingyi, and sometimes it is not simply a means of building relationships. When necessary, there will be some political factors involved.

The emperor suddenly brought up this matter at this time, naturally not because he suddenly thought of it, but because he needed to achieve a certain goal through this matter.

For example, to appease certain people.

The queen was helpless. She looked at Li Qingyi and thought for a while before explaining the whole story: "Your father mentioned this matter because he hoped to appease the soldiers on the border through you."

"There was some unrest in the northern border last winter. Although the barbarians were quickly repelled and seem to be behaving themselves and not continuing to disturb the border, your father has received news that some changes have occurred on the northern grasslands and someone has begun to unify those tribes. If we continue to let this go, I'm afraid that the Liao and Jin incidents will happen again in a short time."

How did the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty come into being?

As an amateur history enthusiast, Li Qingyi was not very interested in the Liao and Jin dynasties, but he knew the general situation.

Hearing this, Li Qingyi frowned slightly, and after a moment hesitantly asked, "Is there going to be another war in the north?"

The Queen nodded slightly: "Your father's meaning is that while there is still chaos over there, I Daning still has some spare strength, it is best to disperse them now."

Otherwise, if the people over there really wait for them to unite into one force, it will also be a major hidden danger to the Daning border.

Somehow, Li Qingyi thought of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

In fact, if this world is still on the historical timeline of Li Qingyi's previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang should have been born or about to be born during this period, right?

She didn't really know the date of Zhu Yuanzhang's birth, but after knowing that this world was not a normal historical line, she no longer cared whether Zhu Chongba was born or not.

But Li Qingyi knew more about Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, or Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di.

First, the life story of Emperor Yongle is quite interesting. Second, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty was betrayed by his descendants. The Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty became Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from Zhu Di's stubborn behavior of being a "filial son" who lived several years after his father's death, he must have been furious in the underworld.

Emperor Yongle was also known as his son's expedition general, and his military ability was unquestionable.

The reason why Li Qingyi thought of this person at this time was that...if there was still a Zhu Yuanzhang in this world, could their Li family pull Emperor Yongle over to be the general?

Because...he is really awesome.
