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

There has been no new news coming from outside the palace since then. It may also be that no one has passed the news to Li Qingyi before the final result.

When Li Qingyi came to her senses, she found that it was already evening, and she had calmed down unconsciously and did not notice the passage of time.

Fang Xin asked softly, "Your Highness, the Queen has sent someone to ask if you want to go to Kunning Palace for dinner tonight?"

After Li Qingyi went to the upper study, the Queen no longer allowed her to go to meals every day. Instead, she would arrange for someone to come and ask her every time. If Li Qingyi wanted to go, she would ask the small kitchen to prepare her favorite dishes.

The reason for this is that after Li Qingyi entered the study room, his social circle expanded, and having dinner with several brothers and sisters was undoubtedly a good opportunity to get closer.

Li Qingyi was not used to it at first, but after getting used to it, it was fine.

Hearing Fang Xin's question, Li Qingyi was about to answer when a little palace maid came at the door and said that the palace maid of the Ninth Princess had arrived.

Li Qingyi paused, and then said, "Then I will have dinner with Sister Nine tonight."

Fang Xin nodded when she heard this and went out to reply.

Li Qingyi changed her clothes and was about to go to the Ninth Princess's residence when new news came from outside the palace - the Fourth Princess had given birth to a little girl. The Fourth Prince Consort cried with joy, and fainted after confirming that the Fourth Princess was fine.

Li Qingyi: ...

It’s also pretty good?

Li Qingyi asked: "Is the Seventh Sister still in the Fourth Princess's Mansion?"

The palace maid replied: The Seventh Princess said that she would stay at the Fourth Princess's residence tonight and would not return to the palace for the time being. She has already sent someone to explain the situation to the Queen Mother.

Li Qingyi nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I understand."

When she saw the Ninth Princess, Li Qingyi asked, "Sister Nine, do you know about the situation with the Fourth Sister?"

The Ninth Princess smiled softly, pointed to the seat beside her, and motioned Li Qingyi to sit down. "Well, I just received news that the fourth sister and her daughter are safe. Today's incident is finally over."

As she said this, her eyes were always on Li Qingyi's face, as if she was paying attention to the changes in her expression.

Li Qingyi didn't think too much about it. Over the past few years, Li Qingyi had basically lost his guard against the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess. After sitting down, he took a sip of the warm water on the table and said, "Yes, mother and daughter are safe. That's great."

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "Fourth Sister has worked hard today. She should take a good rest. If we want to visit her, we should wait until the third day of her birth."

Li Qingyi nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

It is not the right time to visit someone if you want to show your concern. If you really visit them now, it would only make the Fourth Princess tired.

The Ninth Princess said again: "Seventh sister should stay at Fourth sister's place tonight. With Seventh sister here, Fourth sister can rest in peace and not worry about someone taking advantage of her."

As she spoke, the Ninth Princess smiled again and said, "I heard that Fourth Brother-in-law fainted when he heard that Fourth Sister was fine. It can be seen that he was also worried and frightened all day."

When mentioning this, Li Qingyi couldn't help but look away.

Uh...well, I have to say that her fourth sister was really cruel about this matter. She didn't even reveal any information to her partner.

However, it cannot be said that the Fourth Princess's behavior is completely unreasonable. If doing so can make the Fourth Brother-in-law deeply realize how dangerous childbirth is for women, it may be a good thing.

The premise is that what the Fourth Princess has planned should not be known to them.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi was really worried about the Fourth Princess - this kind of thing was somewhat a matter of luck.

The system then whispered: [The Seventh Princess already knows.]

Li Qingyi was shocked: [What? ]

She was so surprised that she couldn't control her expression, so the Ninth Princess, who had been staring at her, saw it clearly.

When Li Qingyi came to his senses and subconsciously looked up at the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess seemed to be drinking tea with her head down, as if she didn't notice at all.

Seeing this, Li Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the system: [How did Seventh Sister know this? Is she angry? ]

System: [Hmm... How should I put it? I'm not sure whether the Seventh Princess is angry or not. Anyway, she is now temporarily in charge of the Princess's Mansion for the Fourth Princess, and has also helped the Fourth Princess to patch up some loopholes.]

System: [As for how the Seventh Princess knew this... The Fourth Princess prepared a letter in advance and asked her confidant to give it to the Seventh Princess after the matter was over. The letter clearly stated the whole story, which was the content of the melon that you just ate.]

Li Qingyi: [...Okay.]

Li Qingyi put herself in the Seventh Princess's current situation and tried to imagine what she would think if she were the Seventh Princess, but found that she couldn't think of it.

Because her personality is actually quite different from that of the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess is the kind of person who has both IQ, EQ, and political and business skills.

As for Li Qingyi... well, she was spoiled by the Seventh Princess. She was a cute, brainless little fool, and I couldn't relate to her at all.

Of course, there is also the Ninth Princess who seems to have a higher IQ than the Seventh Princess and is very scheming and resourceful.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi shuddered and looked up at the Ninth Princess again.

The Ninth Princess smiled, and at this moment she asked softly, "I saw that your sister looked worried, but are you still worried about the safety of the fourth sister?"

Li Qingyi nodded and said, "Well, I know that if I go to see Fourth Sister now, she will have to get up to entertain me, but I am still worried whether Fourth Sister is really okay."

The Ninth Princess turned her head to look at the sky outside, and then said, "With the weather like this, it would be too late even if we sent the palace maids out of the palace now. The palace gates would be locked before we even get there."

"Why don't you ask someone you trust to go out of the palace tomorrow and confirm it in person? That way you can feel more at ease. While you're at it, send some gifts over, too. It doesn't matter if it's some nourishing medicinal herbs or some items with good meanings. It's always a token of your appreciation."

The Ninth Princess added, "This is just a private gesture from us sisters. The third day of the bath will be calculated separately."

Li Qingyi nodded: "I know, don't worry, Sister Nine."

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. Even if there is something wrong with Seventh Sister at Fourth Sister's place, she will hide it from you but not from me."

Li Qingyi blinked and nodded obediently: "I will listen to Sister Nine."

"Little Eleven is so good."

The Ninth Princess said this, then turned around and told the palace maid to go and tell the other princesses and ask them whether they would like to send gifts tomorrow.

In this matter, the Ninth Princess would never give others any grounds for criticism.

Li Qingyi sat obediently aside, looked at the gentle Ninth Princess, and rolled his eyes.

Speaking of which...has Princess Ninth's presence in front of outsiders become increasingly less visible in recent years?
