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

Sometimes not giving someone a chance is also a form of protection.

If we don’t choose a prince, then are we going to give the crown prince a companion?

First of all, the prince has already married, and sending him a companion at this time is just looking for trouble.

Secondly, the emperor allowed the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince to explain the situation at the border. That was also to cultivate the Crown Prince's military acumen. An emperor may not know how to fight a war, but he cannot be unclear about the situation at the border and believe whatever his subordinates say.

But as an emperor, the emperor was not generous enough to let the prince have too much military power. This was not a question of emotion.

If the crown prince had too close contacts with the military generals, the emperor would be suspicious, but all the officials would be worried.

So there is no need to even think about arranging a study companion for the prince.

Then it must be the princess. It happened that during the Daning Dynasty, the status of women was not low, and the princesses were even more so.

The eldest princess is one of the examples. Although she is now an old lady who enjoys her retirement and basically doesn't care about the affairs of state, when she was young, she had been to the battlefield and later attended court several times. However, as her relatives died one after another for various reasons, the eldest princess's energy was also consumed.

Not long after that, the eldest princess retired and lived out her retirement at home.

There are several princesses living in the capital nowadays, and four of them are more or less involved in the government affairs. Occasionally, they are even sent by the emperor to go out of the capital to handle some matters. They are definitely not worse than princes and nobles.

It's just that after the princess gets married and has children, she will more or less devote some of her energy to the family, retreating behind the scenes and appearing to be less active.

But among the new generation of princesses, the Seventh Princess is the most obvious role model. The Emperor has recently begun to assign tasks to the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess, one takes action and the other serves as a military advisor, and nothing has gone wrong.

Some people even murmured privately that the Seventh Princess was better at being a missionary than some of the princes.

This was the case during the time of Taizu. Regardless of whether they were men or women, Taizu clearly believed that the capable were promoted and the mediocre were demoted.

As long as you have the ability, Taizu would not be stingy in giving you an official position even if you are a woman. Female officials also existed at that time.

And if you don't have the ability, no matter you are a man or a shemale, even if the king of heaven comes, don't think that Taizu can force him to hold back his anger and arrange an official position for you.

During the time of the previous emperor, due to his temper, he handled such matters in a more gentle manner, but he did not suppress the female officials, such as abolishing their positions. He even helped to ease the situation when some court officials tentatively criticized the female officials.

When it came to the emperor, the situation of the Taizu period returned to its original state - the capable were promoted and the mediocre were demoted.

If you tell the emperor that you need to consider the separation of men and women during court sessions, then the emperor will ask you: "Why, when you are in court, you only think about men and women?" Then you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. My court does not need a waste like you.

Based on this situation, as long as the girl is not the type who is only pursuing a career by the side of the prince, there is nothing wrong with having a girl in the family who can be the princess's study companion.

Oh, except for those who are deeply ingrained with the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

After the Queen confirmed Li Qingyi's intention, she found that Li Qingyi really had no intention of choosing someone herself, so she could only smile helplessly: "Don't go back and say that your mother will choose a good person for you, but you don't like it. What should I do then?"

Li Qingyi tilted her head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Unless she offended me, I wouldn't dislike someone I met for the first time."

Queen: "What if we can't get along in the future?"

Li Qingyi: "As long as the person has good character, there is no one I can't get along with."

Li Qingyi felt that he was a relatively smooth person when it came to dealing with human relationships.

As for the reason...ah, after all, as a teacher, you will encounter students with all kinds of tempers, right?

Perhaps when she first entered the industry, Li Qingyi would feel suffocated because of some personality incompatibility reasons.

But as time went by, Li Qingyi also came to terms with it. As for personality, everyone has their own personality. As long as the three views and personal conduct are correct, minor flaws in personality are not a big deal!

The Queen laughed. Although she said so, she didn't really think that Li Qingyi would not get along with the new study partner.

First, the queen has a filter for her daughter. Naturally, no matter how she looks at her, she thinks her daughter is good in every way, with good looks and a good personality. Who would not like her?

Secondly, Li Qingyi's identity as a princess meant that ordinary people would not have the leisure to offend her on purpose. By that time, the one who was chosen by the queen, even if he was a child, would not be the kind of silly, brainless and reckless child.

I said that just to tease her.

Li Qingyi trusted the Queen so much that he handed over all matters to her. The Queen was very happy and hugged him and kissed him for a while before letting him go.

The Queen still has things to deal with, and it would be boring for Li Qingyi to stay here, so he might as well go out and find something to do on his own.

As a result, as soon as Li Qingyi left the Queen's place, she immediately asked Fang Xin to take her to the Eastern Palace.

Fang Xin asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, do you want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help you?"

Li Qingyi nodded and then shook his head: "I do need your help with something, but it's not what the Queen Mother said."

Fang Xin was puzzled. If it wasn’t about studying together, what else could it be?

Li Qingyi did not hide it: "When my mother mentioned those generals, I just remembered one thing. Last month, I said I would prepare a birthday gift for General Jiang's granddaughter, but I forgot about it because of other things."

Li Qingyi: "Now let's calculate the time. His birthday is in five days. I may not be able to find a suitable one with my last-minute preparations. There are many good things in my brother's storehouse. I will go to him and ask for one to deal with this matter first."

It's okay to say that Li Qingyi and Miss Jiang have a good relationship. The two of them have some contact because of General Jiang, but there is an age difference between them and their social circles are not the same, so in fact, they just say hello and smile when they meet and nothing else.

As for why Li Qingyi wanted to give the other person a birthday gift when the relationship was so ordinary... the reason was very simple, because the two of them were not familiar with each other at the time, and Li Qingyi chatted with the other person for a few words, and the system casually mentioned that the other person's birthday was coming soon.

Then Li Qingyi pouted, and no matter whether she wanted to ease the atmosphere or get closer to the other person, she agreed to the birthday gift.

The little girl looks older than Li Qingyi, but actually Li Qingyi treats her as a little girl. You're too embarrassed to say you were joking after saying this, right?

Miss Jiang's first reaction was naturally to refuse, but Li Qingyi had already made a decision. Although she was young, she was also the master, so Miss Jiang had no choice but to nod and thank him.

As a result, Li Qingyi was distracted by other things and forgot about this matter.

Unexpectedly, after Fang Xin heard it, she paused for a moment before saying, "So that's the matter. Don't worry, I've already prepared the gift."

Li Qingyi: “Huh?”
