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

How could Prince An not understand what the emperor meant?

Precisely because he understood the emperor's intention, Prince An did not move very fast on his way to look for Li Qingyi.

When the guards who were following him saw Prince An doing this, they naturally slowed down as well.

Understand.

They all understand.

Others may not know, but as people who often have to guard the emperor, how could they not know Li Qingyi's fighting ability?

Although the little princess is young, she has been working very hard since she started practicing martial arts.

In addition, the little princess's personal talent and the master arranged by the emperor are not much different from first-rate. Even though she is still young, she has no problem dealing with those young princes of the royal family who have never studied hard.

Furthermore, unless those royal family members really want to fall out with the emperor, it is impossible for the little princess to suffer any harm based on her face and the guards nearby.

In this case, Prince An is just a last resort. If he goes too early, it will ruin the little princess's mood.

So when Prince An and his entourage finally arrived at their destination, Li Qingyi had already slapped several people with a cold face.

She was really angry, not just because these guys attacked Xie Wei, but also because she had the right to be angry out of a desire to protect her.

Also, as someone who was a teacher in a previous life, I would get angry when I see a child who obviously did not receive good instruction, has no sense of propriety, and has no empathy behaving like this.

The former is directed at the children, and the latter is directed at the parents behind the children.

However, it wouldn't be a big problem for her to beat up these little brats, but if she beat their parents, things might get out of hand, so Li Qingyi could only endure it.

When Prince An arrived, there was a lot of crying and wailing. Li Qingyi stood in the middle of the place, one hand on his waist and the other pointing at a few young masters who looked indignant but didn't dare to fight back and said, "You are stupid. You don't want to think about your own problems. You go and get jealous of Mr. Xie's children. Do you think if this gets out, people will think you are great?"

"No, they will only say that you are stupid, that you really don't have a good brain, that's why your grades are so bad, and that you are cruel to your classmates, and that you have bad behavior. Then they will question the family education of the Duke of Jin."

As he spoke, Li Qingyi glanced at the Duke of Jin, who had an ugly expression on his face, sneered in his heart, and looked at the other one: "And you, what are you angry about? Do you think I am bullying you? Then what is the difference between you bullying the child of Mr. Xie and me bullying you now?"

"Since you are relying on your family background to bully the children of ministers, doesn't that mean you think it's okay to do so? Then I am relying on my father being older than your father, so it's okay for me to bully you. Why are you so angry?"

"If you're really upset, come on, fight back and fight me."

When Prince An came in and heard Li Qingyi's provocative words, he paused slightly and thought to himself that if his father was here and could still say that he had a good temper, he would really have to refute him.

Afterwards, Prince An coughed lightly to remind everyone of his arrival.

Several members of the royal family who wanted to obstruct but were unable to actually take action against Li Qingyi, all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Prince An coming.

Because it was Prince An who had to step in to resolve all the troubles caused by the Sixth Prince, everyone's impression of Prince An has subtly changed during this period of time.

Now that Prince An is here, this matter can come to an end, right?

Although it doesn't look like Li Qingyi would cause any harm to anyone by beating them, it's still embarrassing!

Although Li Qingyi was scolding the little ones, as Li Qingyi just said, the children came from her own home, and being blamed would inevitably implicate herself, so it was natural for her to feel unhappy.

Fortunately, Prince An really watched the time to end the matter. However, everyone thought that Prince An would comfort them a little, but they didn't expect...

Prince An directly said to Li Qingyi: "I already know about the matter. Lord Xie has gone to see the young master. You have also taught him a lesson. Let them copy the Book of Rites and the Daning Code. They will remember it well."

"Don't argue with these people. I think these people are either illegitimate sons or second sons of the family. I think their families really don't value them that much, so they have lost their sense of propriety. It's useless to argue with them."

This is indeed a bit harsh to hear.

Although what Prince An said was indeed true, the few young princes who caused trouble this time were either illegitimate sons who were still favored in their families or the second sons of the legitimate family. Almost none of the children valued by the royal family were accompanying them, but...

Facts are facts, and stating them openly would be a bit shameless.

But after saying this, Prince An turned around and looked at the members of the royal family, his expression indifferent but still dignified: "My sister doesn't understand these twists and turns, so I wanted to teach you uncles a lesson. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

The royal family: "..."

What the hell are you talking about?

However, looking at the tall and upright figure of Prince An, and thinking of his experience in the battlefield for several years at such a young age, the faces of several royal family members whose highest title was Duke of An turned blue to purple, purple to black, and black to blue, changing back and forth like a color wheel.

Finally, the Duke of Jin stepped forward and said with a fake smile: "Your Highness, what you said is a bit harsh. Although we are not higher in rank than Your Highness, we are still your elders. You should not say certain things..."

Prince An said calmly: "Instead of worrying about whether my words sound good or not, you should think about this: your son knew who Xie Wei's father was, but he still wanted to humiliate him. Was it for his own selfish desires or to make an enemy for you, Prince?"

The Duke of Jin's face changed.

Nowadays, the titles in Daning are divided into Prince, Prince of a County, Duke of a State, Duke of a County, Marquis of a County, Marquis of a County, Earl of a County, and Marquis of Guannei.

In Daning, there are no bloodline requirements for conferring titles, such as one must be a member of the royal family to be conferred a certain title. All titles are distributed according to merit.

This merit is not just considered military merit. If one has made political achievements in other things, such as Hu Ping'an's great contribution in farming, he can also be rewarded with a title.

But when it comes to the three ranks of prince, duke and duke, at least so far, all of them were awarded based on military merit, and basically have real power.

For those below the rank of Duke, it depends on the circumstances.

It is a pity that the Duke of Jin’s family did not produce any capable people in this generation. They were a clan that lived off their family background but had no political achievements.

In other words, apart from saving face, he really cannot confront some powerful officials head-on.
