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

The relationship between Li Qingyi and Xie Wei was not as ambiguous as rumored, but it would also be false to say that they had no relationship at all.

Li Qingyi had no idea what Xie Wei was thinking.

But Li Qingyi already knew that her own mother had been secretly looking for a future prince consort for her a long time ago. As a boy who had already shown his outstanding side at a young age, Xie Wei naturally caught the queen's eye.

But the queen had prepared more than one candidate.

The system told Li Qingyi this when she found out her mother was looking for a candidate.

Li Qingyi was a little numb when she heard the news at that time - she felt that she was still a baby, and it was hard to say whether she would get married in the future, but even if she wanted to get married, it would take at least ten years.

Although she quickly realized that she was already a young girl, not a baby, and considering her age, it was indeed time for the elders to start helping to find candidates.

Just...very distressed.

The Queen did not urge Li Qingyi to do anything, and she has never even mentioned the matter of marriage in front of Li Qingyi. Not only that, the Emperor and the Crown Prince have never mentioned it in front of her either.

Li Qingyi had heard about it by chance before. The eldest princess mentioned it casually when chatting with the queen. At that time, the queen just smiled and said, "It's okay for others, but Yi'er was raised by the emperor and I. I am always worried about omissions in her affairs."

"It is not easier for a woman to get married than for a man. Yi'er is still young and has not yet come to her senses. Even if she does, the emperor and I will have to worry about whether the man she loves has good character and whether he can hold her in the palm of his hand like we do and love her for the rest of her life."

"I know you are telling me this with good intentions, but we are both women, and I want to tell you the truth. I would like Yi'er's marriage to be held later."

After that, when Li Qingyi realized that he might have accidentally intruded into the private chat between the Queen and the Princess, he quietly slipped away without listening to the rest of the conversation, nor did he ask the system for the conversation record.

Firstly, there was no need for that. She knew her own mother would not harm her. The eldest princess, as an elder, loved her very much and had no ill intentions towards her.

Secondly, she herself didn't really want to talk about this matter. Although she knew that it was normal to start discussing marriage at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and that it was not necessary to get married immediately, she still felt a little uncomfortable when it came to this matter.

Li Qingyi has no idea in this regard at the moment, and since the emperor and empress don't mention it, even if Li Qingyi hears someone else asking about it, he will just pretend he doesn't know and just brush it off.

However, Li Qingyi was not without consideration.

Of course, given her current status in the hearts of the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince, if she didn't want to get married at all, she probably wouldn't have to put in much effort to achieve her goal.

Li Qingyi still has this confidence.

Over the years, Li Qingyi has also realized that although she doesn't know the situation in other families, the people who can make decisions in her family are relatively open-minded.

If the emperor was not open-minded, many things would not have been carried out at all, or she and Wang Xuan would have to take many detours to do what they wanted to do in a way that attracted as little attention as possible.

In their family, the emperor has the greatest say.

The Queen was also a very open-minded person. She allowed Li Qingyi to learn anything she wanted, not only martial arts. Even when Li Qingyi went to work with craftsmen for handicrafts, the Queen just watched with a smile and never thought that this was something to lower her standards.

Not to mention the crown prince. As long as Li Qingyi is happy, he will do anything. Sometimes he even has lower limits than the emperor.

What is said here is that a few years ago, Li Qingyi was completely irritated because a prince from the royal family defied the law and took advantage of his status to force a young girl to be his second wife.

At that time, the Wang Xuan Chamber of Commerce had already made a loudspeaker and put it into practical use. Li Qingyi ran directly to the Chamber of Commerce, got a few loudspeakers, and brought people to the gate of the prince's mansion and cursed for three days and three nights, revealing all his troubles.

Until the other party's grandson sent out the woman who was forced to marry with a smile.

In that incident, the emperor took various considerations into account and gave Li Qingyi some harmless punishment.

However, the prince felt that Li Qingyi had done nothing wrong and did not need to be punished, and he even had a quarrel with the emperor because of this.

In the end, Li Qingyi honestly admitted her mistakes - she did do something inappropriate, and even if she did a good thing, she could have solved the matter in other ways instead of making things so ugly.

Li Qingyi admitted that she had acted inappropriately, but as for whether she had done anything wrong, Li Qingyi felt that she had done nothing wrong. The rescued girl had no intention of following that old man to enjoy a life of luxury. After being rescued, she cried and thanked Li Qingyi.

Later, Li Qingyi secretly arranged for someone to find her another stable environment instead of letting her stay in the capital, as she didn't know when it would be brought up as a topic of conversation again.

This matter happened to Xie Wei at that time, and it was this famous young talent who helped to revise the abusive text arranged by Li Qingyi.

The young boy looked handsome, elegant and refined, and his words when scolding people were very sharp, which was truly unique.

However, Li Qingyi kept this a secret from anyone. After all, the old man had little way to deal with her. But he might be able to make trouble for Xie Wei.

From then on, whenever Li Qingyi needed someone to polish something, he would look for Xie Wei.

They were good friends to begin with, and as they came into contact more and more often, Xie Wei knew at least 70% of the "bad things" that Li Qingyi did in private, if not all of them.

Therefore, Li Qingyi would still put on some airs as a princess in front of other people. After all, she is just a face, and she has to bring honor to her family even if she has nothing to do, right?

But with Xie Wei, she was the most relaxed.

Therefore, after learning about the Queen's thoughts, Li Qingyi didn't reject Xie Wei the first time she thought of him, but she also felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, before this, she didn't think so much about it. She just regarded Xie Wei as a playful friend who was smarter than herself.

The latter has a heavier component.

But after that, Li Qingyi's eyes gradually began to change when looking at Xie Wei. It would not be said that she suddenly found herself falling in love with Xie Wei, but Xie Wei was indeed outstanding and they were indeed compatible.

If she has to find someone to marry, Li Qingyi thinks Xie Wei is a good choice.

but……

Li Qingyi: What if Xie Wei has someone he likes, then wouldn’t I be wasting his time?

It was precisely because of this thought that even though Li Qingyi knew that he was not opposed to Xie Wei as a candidate at the moment, he never took the initiative to bring it up.

But, Li Qingyi also vaguely felt that Xie Wei...might like her.
