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

Li Qingyi: "It seems that with the presence of Seventh Sister and Ninth Sister, this matter should be resolved smoothly."

Fang Xin smiled and didn't say anything like the Seventh Princess or the Ninth Princess might not care so much.

Ever since Li Qingyi learned that the Seventh Princess eventually ascended to the throne and became the empress in the original plot, she has had a special filter for her. She always feels that no matter what happens, as long as the Seventh Princess takes over, there will be no problem.

Because of this filter, plus Wang Xuan and others, Li Qingyi is now in a rather confused state about everyone's age.

Sometimes I feel like the teenage Seventh Princess can do anything.

Sometimes I feel that a teenage girl is still a child.

It's just... quite amazing.

And the Seventh Princess did not disappoint Li Qingyi's trust. A few days later, when Li Qingyi learned that Chen Qicong and Wang Xuan had joined forces to help Liu Daming solve his worries, she also learned the follow-up of the incident between Chen Zhi and Zhang Nianran.

The first one was Qi Bailin, who had secretly plotted against Zhang Nianran. Lord Zhang, for Lord Qi's sake and the Qi family's good attitude in admitting their mistakes, gave them a hand and did not hold on to the matter. He just let the Qi family be responsible for the medical expenses for Zhang Nianran's recuperation in the next few months.

But this does not mean that Lord Zhang let Qi Bailin, the junior who almost killed his son, off easily. However, after Lord Qi learned about this, he broke Qi Bailin's legs despite the objections of his old mother and wife.

With such an attitude, Mr. Zhang was willing to lend a hand.

As for whether Qi Bailin's broken leg can be restored to its original state after a few months of rest like Zhang Nianran, or whether he will bear a grudge against what happened today in the future, that is not something that can be discussed openly.

Anyway, at least the two families managed to save face, and the issue was resolved peacefully under the emperor's nose.

On the other hand, Chen Zhi's situation is more complicated.

Chen Zhi's father and stepmother had no intention of fighting for anything for her. If Chen Zhi had not come to her senses and finally realized what kind of people were controlling her life, and had not made some tentative contact with the people sent by the Ninth Princess, and had been successfully taken out of the Chen family by the Ninth Princess as a maid, she would not have known what kind of hardships she would encounter afterwards.

As for the marriage between the Chen family and the Lin Wang Mansion, it naturally fell through.

One reason is that Prince Lin is now unable to take care of himself. Li Ningmu and Li Ningyan are both injured at home, and Princess Lin is also making a move at this time. The Prince Lin's mansion is in chaos. Prince Lin, who seems to have the initiative, got drunk one day and fell down, paralyzing himself. The initiative was soon taken back by Princess Lin.

In other words, if Prince Lin did not have his confidants, Prince Lin’s Mansion might have become a one-man show ruled by Princess Lin.

And now, it is not just Princess Lin and Li Ningmu, Prince Lin and Li Ningyan who are involved. Whether for self-protection or for profit, several of Prince Lin's other illegitimate sons are also involved.

Li Qingyi was not clear about the details because they involved content that minors were not allowed to know, and the system would not tell her one by one.

If the system doesn't say it, no one else will say it.

Li Qingyi only knew that the Prince Lin’s Mansion was in a mess, very messy.

The Chen family did not dare to offend the princess in the palace without the intervention of the Prince Lin's Mansion. When the Ninth Princess sent people to take Chen Zhi away, Chen Zhi's parents could only force a smile and send her out of the Chen family's gate.

As soon as Chen Zhi left the house, Chen Qicong joined forces with the elders in the clan who supported him and tried to find a way to drive the family back to their hometown. The capital is full of powerful people, and the Chen family was lucky this time. They were just implicated. If they continued to let this family of idiots stay here, who knows what kind of trouble would happen in the future.

As a result, Chen Zhi's life has changed. Although she was brought out as a maid, the Ninth Princess has no shortage of servants. As long as Chen Zhi is willing to make progress, she may have other opportunities in the future.

Even if she had always been by the side of the Ninth Princess, her life would have been better than in her original family.

Then, there were the young masters who had followed Qi Bailin in making trouble and dragged Zhang Nianran out for horseback riding that day. After the news of the incident between the Zhang and Qi families spread, they were severely scolded by their families. Afterwards, they all brought gifts to the Zhang family to apologize.

It is said that destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. This time, they almost ruined Zhang Nianran's future. Fortunately, Zhang Nianran was lucky and not seriously injured. The imperial physicians in the palace and the doctors invited from outside said that he would be fine after a few months of rest. Otherwise... they would really have made a great enemy of the Zhang family.

Wang Xuan: [I heard that recently several families have warned their children not to go out with those who are about to take the exam until the exam is over next year.]

Wang Xuan: [As a result, fewer people are going out to play, and even the women rarely leave the city, for fear of another similar accident.]

Li Qingyi: [Hey? I heard that you have been attending a lot of banquets recently. Is it because they don’t go out, so you hold banquets at home for fun? ]

Wang Xuan: [About the same. There are many blind date activities during this time every year. Usually they are either going out for fun or holding various banquets, finding some reasons for young men and women to meet each other. Anyway, they just find a place to see each other. ]

Wang Xuan: [Especially recently, more and more scholars and candidates have come to Beijing, so poetry and literary gatherings are inevitable. Generally, there will be no bloodshed in such gatherings, and it is much safer than going out on horseback. ]

Li Qingyi: [Liu Daming also participated? ]

Chen Qicong smiled and said, "Liu Daming was dragged by several fellow candidates from his hometown to attend a literary gathering yesterday, and he showed off his talent a little. His essay was well written and was appreciated by the prince."

Li Qingyi was surprised: [My brother went to the literary gathering? ]

Wang Xuan: [Yes, when the prince showed up yesterday, everyone was shocked.]

Wang Xuan: [I later learned that the organizer of yesterday's literary gathering was said to be a fellow apprentice of the prince, and the two had a good relationship. The prince happened to know about the literary gathering, happened to pass by, happened to go in and take a look, and then happened to hear Liu Daming's policy speech.]

Li Qingyi: [You use this one quite frequently. ]

Wang Xuan: [Ah, of course it’s because I think this is just right. Most likely the prince went there to see if there are any talented people.]

Otherwise, the prince's busy life, where he is ordered around by the emperor, would not have so many coincidences.

Li Qingyi thought about it, and based on his understanding of his brother, he said: [Not necessarily, he may be checking on the situation for my father.]

Wang Xuan: […You two, the father and son of the Heavenly Family, really don’t act like the father and son of the Heavenly Family.]
