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

Li Qingyi felt that his own father should not be so reckless. Although the Tatars had admitted defeat, some post-war matters had been dragged on and not settled.

However, the interests of both countries are involved. In addition, the situation on the grassland was not good last year. After the defeat, it was heard that the Oirat, located northwest of Tatar, was also eager to tear a piece of meat from the other side, which led to the bad situation of Tatar. This is not difficult to understand.

However, it is hard to say whether there is any suspicion of deliberate delay.

Li Qingyi has a clear self-awareness about this matter. She doesn't have the brains nor the political awareness. She definitely can't figure out the twists and turns. She can just wait and hear the final result.

In addition, the advantage is on the side of Daning, so there is no need to worry too much.

At this moment, hearing that her own father was suddenly going to the north for autumn hunting and her own mother still had such an attitude, the first thought in Li Qingyi's mind was - her father wouldn't want to take a large army to the border to deter the Tatars, right?

The Queen didn't know if she had guessed what Li Qingyi was thinking, and after a while she said, "Your father hasn't officially decided where to go yet, but there are only a few places around, and it would definitely be inconvenient for your father to go to places farther away."

Li Qingyi heard this, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about my brother?"

Naturally, she was asking about Crown Prince Li Yan.

Queen: "Your brother will most likely stay in Beijing to supervise the country."

This is not really surprising.

only……

Li Qingyi: "My brother is getting married soon, this..."

The Queen smiled and said, "Well, your father meant that since your brother is married, he is an adult and should have some experience."

Li Qingyi: "..."

Fine.

Come to think of it, there is no such thing as a honeymoon in this era, and her father would not give her brother a three-month wedding leave just because he is getting married.

Then, Li Qingyi thought about it for a while, and finally said: "If there is a chance, I would like to go to other places. If the emperor is willing to take me with you, I will be happy to do so."

"Since my brother is not going, will my mother go?"

Although she asked this, Li Qingyi knew in her heart that the Queen would most likely not go.

As expected, the queen shook her head gently: "I won't go this time. I will go next time if there is a chance."

Li Qingyi thought about it and didn't ask if it was because the prince stayed in Beijing.

Because whether the queen said yes or no, it would not affect the result, and she would not have any grudge against her mother because of this - she was not a person who lacked love so much.

The Queen said, "The news has not spread yet. Your father's intention is that if you want to go, you should prepare in the next few months so that you won't be unable to adapt when you get there."

Hearing this, Li Qingyi was a little puzzled: "Preparing for what?"

Queen: "Your father has someone prepare a little mare for you. You should take some time out every day to go to the stables and practice well."

Li Qingyi: "..."

Oh, horseback archery.

In fact, after Li Qingyi learned martial arts, she also learned archery. However, given her age and the fact that she is a girl, she does not have any special talents in this area. She is just slightly better than an ordinary person.

To put it simply, she...is just barely a beginner.

I can use a bow and arrow, but I can't pull anything too heavy.

However, when Wang Xuan heard that Li Qingyi started learning the bow and crossbow, she found a way to find a craftsman who was good at mechanical engineering. I heard that he was studying how to make a mechanical crossbow suitable for self-defense for a child of Li Qingyi's age. I don't know what the results are now.

In terms of horse riding and archery, Li Qingyi actually started learning it quite early. She only got acquainted with it last year and officially began practicing this year. She hasn't even developed calluses on her hands yet, and her hands hurt every time she practices for a long time.

In other words, Li Qingyi was not a squeamish person, and with the Seventh Princess setting an example for her, she was able to persevere.

Practicing martial arts has never been an easy thing. Even if one is gifted and blessed by God, it still requires perseverance to achieve satisfactory results, not to mention that Li Qingyi is not a gifted person.

She is just more sensible than her peers and relies on perseverance to persevere.

The courses prepared for the princes and princesses in the palace did not require mandatory learning in this area, but with the Seventh Princess and the youngest Eleventh Princess working so hard, the others would have to keep up with the progress to some extent unless they wanted to give up completely.

Apart from anything else, I can't let my youngest sister be stronger than me, right? That would be too embarrassing.

But Li Qingyi is still young. Although the two words "riding and shooting" are connected, there are still some limitations for her to ride a horse at her age. Besides, there was no need for it before, so the emperor and empress did not make any arrangements.

As for why I bring it up again now...

Queen: "Since your father has proposed to take you there, I think he can guarantee your safety. But it is always better to be safe than sorry. It is better to have some backup skills than nothing."

Although Li Qingyi probably couldn't learn any tricks on horseback riding at this time, it was better to have some skills than to know nothing when the time came.

Hearing this, Li Qingyi naturally understood this truth and nodded: "I understand, I will discuss with a few teachers to arrange some time to come out."

Queen: "Well, even so, don't be too anxious, everything should be based on yourself. If you feel tired, it's okay to put it aside for a while."

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. Don't you know what my personality is like?"

The queen thought about it and felt that her little girl was always very sensible in arranging her own affairs. In fact, at such a young age, she was better at taking care of her health than adults like them.

But as a mother, how can you stop worrying just because your children are sensible and know your limits? You still have to worry about what you should worry about.

So the queen waved Li Qingyi forward, put her arm around her and touched her still chubby cheek, and gave her detailed instructions. Seeing that Li Qingyi agreed to everything, she felt relieved.

Then, the Queen thought of something and said, "There is no rush for the autumn hunt. It will take at least a few months. However, the Fourth Princess is about to give birth. Have you prepared the gifts for the children of the First Princess and the Second Princess?"

The fourth princess, Li Qingyi's fourth sister, is the child of Concubine An. She has been married for several years, but there has been no movement before. She was diagnosed with pregnancy only last year.

I heard that Concubine An was always depressed about this matter and was very worried that the Fourth Princess would have a disagreement with her husband because of this. After Li Qingyi accidentally learned about this, he calculated the Fourth Princess' age and was speechless.

The Fourth Princess only turned twenty this year, and she was still young before. It was not a bad thing to have no news for a year or two. The Fourth Prince Consort and his parents did not say anything, but Concubine An, her mother, was more anxious than anyone else.

Because of this incident, the marriage of the third prince was also affected. Families of girls of marriageable age in the capital saw Anpin's attitude and were worried that their daughters would be caught in a whirlpool of childbearing after marrying the third prince.

If you are lucky, the results will come out in a year. If you are unlucky... hiss.
