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

After hearing what her two sisters said, Li Qingyi finally realized that this matter had happened.

Then, Li Qingyi remembered something and quietly asked the system in his mind: [Xiao Ba, is it true that many people have fallen ill recently? ]

System: [The news that the Ninth Princess said is correct, but there are not many people pretending to be sick, and they really didn't make any big noise. They are not that stupid.]

System: [It’s just that the Ninth Princess has many information channels, and all kinds of information will be sent to her, so the Ninth Princess knows some things that most people don’t know. ]

Li Qingyi suddenly realized, [Not many does not mean no, so there are really people pretending to be sick and not going? My father did not require the officials accompanying him to bring their families, right? ]

Rather, it is the emperor's favor to allow officials to bring their families when traveling with the head of a country?

This is how Li Qingyi understood it.

System: [It’s not the fault of those who pretended to be sick, because there is a rumor that your father’s autumn hunting this time is ostensibly an autumn hunting activity, but in fact he wants to lead the army in person.]

System: [Some people are afraid that if a fight really breaks out, they, with their thin arms and legs and no ability to protect themselves, will become cannon fodder, and they scare themselves.]

what?

what! ?

Li Qingyi's eyes suddenly opened and he looked at the Ninth Princess with round eyes.

The Ninth Princess couldn't pretend she didn't see it, so she asked with a smile, "What happened to my sister?"

Li Qingyi also failed to control her expression in time. When she heard the question, she realized that her expression just now might be too obvious. She quickly restrained her expression, thought about it, and asked the Ninth Princess: "Ninth Sister, are they afraid that our father will take us to fight with the Tatars?"

Before the Ninth Princess could answer, the Seventh Princess curled her lips and said, "That was one of the reasons those ministers used to persuade the Emperor. They were afraid that the Emperor might say it was the Autumn Hunt but in fact he couldn't sit still in the capital and wanted to lead the army himself."

"There are indeed such rumors, but no one in the capital who has a brain would really think so." The Ninth Princess said with a smile, looking up at the Seventh Princess, and then at Li Qingyi: "If father really had such a dangerous idea, my sister would not be on the travel list this time."

As for the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess, it doesn't affect anything.

In the eyes of others outside the palace, the Ninth Princess has a low sense of presence, and she does this on purpose.

However, the emperor controlled the Qingyi Guards, and the Ninth Princess was close to Li Qingyi because of the Seventh Princess' relationship, so the emperor paid more attention to her. Therefore, some of the Ninth Princess's behavior did not escape his eyes.

The emperor also admired this daughter very much. In the past two years, he not only assigned tasks to the seventh princess, but also began to assign tasks to the ninth princess.

However, the arrangements for the Seventh Princess were all overt, while those for the Ninth Princess were much more covert and not so ostentatious.

This is also in line with the Ninth Princess's wish to keep a low profile.

Based on the above circumstances, there was nothing wrong with the emperor taking the seventh princess and the ninth princess with him on his trip. Only by taking Li Qingyi with him could he be truly sure of safety.

Firstly, Li Qingyi is young, and secondly, she has a special status. If the emperor did not want to ensure that everything would be absolutely safe, he would not have brought her along.

Perhaps other emperors would plot against and exploit their own children, but at least this emperor would not, or at least the current emperor would not.

As for the future, no one can guarantee what will happen.

The Ninth Princess: "So, anyone who knows how much our father loves his sister will not be affected by such messy rumors."

The Ninth Princess: "But I originally thought that ordinary people would not understand, and the officials in the court should still be able to understand what the emperor meant. But the facts tell me that not everyone who enters the court can understand what the emperor meant."

"That's normal." The Seventh Princess continued, "Some of the people under my command understand what I mean without me having to say anything, while some will still guess the deeper meaning behind my words even if I say them clearly."

"So compared to those who look smart, I still prefer people who listen to orders and do their work honestly."

Li Qingyi looked at this and then at that, not understanding how the topic had turned to this.

Fortunately, the two elder sisters did not intend to discuss the matter in depth in front of Li Qingyi, and the Ninth Princess quickly brought the topic back: "In short, there are always some people who think they are smart but act foolishly. If they don't dare to go, then they don't have to go. It won't affect our trip."

Li Qingyi blinked and nodded.

This is true.

The Seventh Princess said, "Father chose Tainingwei as the destination this time. In fact, there are other considerations. But no matter what the purpose of Father's autumn hunt is, it will not be what they speculated."

As she spoke, the Seventh Princess looked at Li Qingyi and said with a smile, "Sister also believes that father will not let her fall into danger. Even if she hears those people's speculations, she probably won't be afraid."

"Yes." Li Qingyi nodded affirmatively: "Father will not hurt me."

The Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess laughed when they heard this. The Seventh Princess raised her hand and picked up Li Qingyi, then gently pinched her nose and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you too."

Li Qingyi looked at the Seventh Princess with bright eyes and nodded: "Well, I believe in Seventh Sister!"

——————————————————————————————

Having said that, Li Qingyi fell into deep thought after returning to his residence.

The system curiously asked: [Host, what's wrong with you? ]

Why did it suddenly become so deep?

Li Qingyi thought: [Nothing, I was just wondering if I was too relaxed.]

System: [Huh?]

Li Qingyi: [Before Sister Nine said that, I seemed... not really seemed, but although I had thought about the possibility of encountering some dangers if I left the capital, I actually never took it to heart.]

Li Qingyi: [Well, how should I put it? I suddenly realized that I seemed to be a little too relaxed and had no sense of crisis at all.]

Li Qingyi: [Isn’t this a bad idea? ]

Hearing this, the system said with some realization: [So the host is thinking about this, isn't this normal? ]

Li Qingyi: [Hmm?]

System: [The country where the host lived in his previous life was well-known for its safety in the world, and its national strength has been increasing year by year. Even if its citizens go abroad, they have enough confidence to deal with it with the support of the motherland. At worst, they can just return home.]

System: [After coming to this world, the host was born into a royal family and is the only legitimate princess, so she has status and position.]

System: [And this palace is not the kind of palace fighting novels full of intrigues and deceptions. The emperor, empress, and prince all protect you. Although the living environment is very different from the host's previous life, the host has not encountered any danger so far. ]

In this case, isn't it natural that Li Qingyi would be so relaxed?
