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

The matter of the Fourth Princess finally ended smoothly, and the people who knew about it were finally limited to the Fourth Princess, her confidante, the Seventh Princess, and Li Qingyi.

Oh, Li Qingyi suspected that the Ninth Princess also knew about it, but the Ninth Princess did not show any abnormality. Even if Li Qingyi asked the system quietly, the system said that there was no movement from the Ninth Princess and there was no news.

Li Qingyi: ...

So she always felt that the system was stupid, but it was not a big deal.

The brain is her own, and Li Qingyi has no intention of making the system her external brain. This is good enough. She would actually feel relieved if the system is a little stupid.

Li Qingyi saw the Fourth Princess after she gave birth on the day of her third birthday. He found that although the Fourth Princess looked a little tired, her eyes were bright, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, Concubine An cried so much in the Qianqing Palace that her tears almost flooded the palace. The emperor took the opportunity to reprimand Concubine An, saying that if she had known this would happen, she would have forced the fourth princess to give birth years ago. But in the end, he called the empress and after some discussion, he gave Concubine An the opportunity to leave the palace.

Unfortunately, although Concubine An arrived at the Fourth Princess's Mansion, she could not stay in the delivery room. She could only wait for news outside the delivery room with her husband in fear - she could not help at all except crying, and if she really went into the delivery room, it would only cause trouble, so she was stopped by the Seventh Princess.

From Li Qingyi's perspective, she was a little suspicious whether the Seventh Princess had noticed something at that time, so she stopped Concubine An.

After the Fourth Princess gave birth safely, if Concubine An stayed in the Fourth Princess's residence for one night, the Emperor and Empress in the palace would not be unable to turn a blind eye.

But perhaps it was because Concubine An's rationality came back at this time, or perhaps it was because the Third Prince went to persuade her, and in the end Concubine An returned to the palace before the palace gates were locked, leaving only her confidants in the Fourth Princess's Mansion.

It was probably because he wanted to ask his confidant to help the Fourth Princess to maintain order when she was in trouble.

Although it was of no use in the end and became just a decoration, most of the things were done by the Seventh Princess.

Later I heard that Concubine An cried all night in her bedroom, and her eyes were so swollen the next day that she couldn't see anyone. Fortunately, it was not the day to pay respects to the emperor, so she saved herself a lot of effort.

Concubine An did not say anything about the Fourth Princess not having children in the future. No matter whether she is the biological mother or not, it is inappropriate to say such things in this era when population is so important.

However, Concubine An wrote a sincere letter to the Fourth Princess. Li Qingyi heard from the system that Concubine An apologized to the Fourth Princess in the letter.

Li Qingyi: Wow!

Then Concubine An sent someone to hint to the Fourth Prince Consort that the Fourth Princess should have a good rest in the next few years, but if the Fourth Prince Consort dared to do anything wrong to the Fourth Princess, neither she nor the Third Prince would let him go.

Li Qingyi: Wow!

All in all, it seems that everything is moving in a good direction, and Li Qingyi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Qingyi was finally in the mood to leave the palace to find Wang Xuan and tell her about the information the system had obtained after three years of hard work.

——————————————————————————————

That afternoon, Wang Xuan canceled other social engagements a few days in advance and made time specifically to meet Li Qingyi in her newly opened beauty salon.

Don’t ask what Li Qingyi, a child under ten years old, is doing in the beauty salon. Wang Xuan’s beauty salon also has seats for little girls - mainly to serve the ladies who bring little girls out.

Of course, Li Qingyi doesn't need to go to the little girls' area to play with them. What this means is that a girl of her age will not attract any attention if she goes in and out here.

Wang Xuan arrived at the place before the agreed time and had someone carefully check the layout of the room. After making sure that there was nothing inappropriate, she waited in the box for Li Qingyi's arrival with peace of mind.

When Li Qingyi arrived at the entrance of the beauty salon on time, she ran into an acquaintance as soon as she got off the car. It was an acquaintance that surprised her quite a bit - Xie Wei.

The relationship between Li Qingyi and Xie Wei is nothing big. She and Wang Xuan saved Xie Wei once, and at that time she thought the little boy was... good-looking!

But afterwards, one of them was a princess and the other was the son of a minister, and neither of them was old enough to enter and leave the house freely. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for them to have any contact afterwards.

Well, logically speaking.

In fact, in the past few years, although Li Qingyi was busy with her studies and side job... a side job, so to speak, which was quite busy, she had several contacts with Xie Wei, either accidental or inevitable.

Occasionally, Li Qingyi went out of the palace occasionally, and five out of ten times she saw or heard things related to Xie Wei directly or indirectly; it must be that Xie Wei's father, Xie Chengyao, was highly appreciated by her biological father, the emperor, in the past three years, and his seat was always indispensable at banquets held in the palace for ministers appreciated by the emperor.

Whenever there was a banquet that required family members to enter the palace, Mrs. Xie would always bring Xie Wei with her.

Unfortunately, due to various factors, Li Qingyi had almost no peers to play with. Xie Wei was the only one who was naturally smart and had a good sense of propriety due to his family education, so he naturally became Li Qingyi's half-playmate.

The reason why it is half is of course because... Li Qingyi never takes the initiative to look for Xie Wei to play, but if they meet, he will invite the other party to "play" with him.

Such as the present moment.

When Li Qingyi saw Xie Wei and Madam Xie getting off the carriage, she was a little surprised, but she also stepped forward to greet them naturally: "Madam Xie, Xie Wei, what a coincidence, we meet here."

Mrs. Xie was also a little surprised to see Li Qingyi. She subconsciously looked around first, but did not perform a grand ceremony here to avoid attracting other people's attention.

When Madam Xie was struggling over whether to kneel, Li Qingyi raised her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go in and talk."

Xie Wei didn't know why, but his face turned slightly red when he heard this, and he explained, "I, I brought my mother here, and it's probably not convenient for me to go in here."

Li Qingyi had also developed a habit of seeing Xie Wei. Hearing this, she turned around and looked at the beauty salon behind her, which was full of female guests, and exclaimed, "Oh, that's right."

Xie Wei is older than her. Even though the customs between men and women in Beijing are not so crazy now that a man has to marry a woman just by looking at her skin, families with more respect will still avoid occasions where only women are present.

Mrs. Xie also chuckled and explained, "We appreciate your kindness, but Wei'er has an appointment with his archery master today and needs to go to the horse farm in the suburbs for lessons in the afternoon, so he just sent me over on the way."

Hearing this, Li Qingyi understood and smiled at Xie Wei: "Then I am sorry for taking up your time. Okay, then you go and get busy. I will talk to Madam Xie."

Xie Wei looked up at her, his clear eyes swept over Li Qingyi's outfit today, and then he bowed slightly like a little adult, said sorry, but watched Li Qingyi and Mrs. Xie enter the beauty salon before getting in the car and leaving.
