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

Wang Xuan is familiar with the products of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. She may not know all the products of other people, but she knows the key goods very clearly. She can recognize which products come from which company with just a glance, without any error.

Li Qingyi believed that her eyes were not wrong, and after hearing that Wang Xuan had already made a plan for this matter, he tilted his head and said, "Then if you can catch the person who did it, you can see if you can use him. I think he is a talented person with a delicate mind."

Wang Xuan nodded: "I think so too."

However, after this incident, and the fact that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture hurried over after receiving the news, Li Qingyi and Wang Xuan lost interest in continuing shopping.

After returning to the palace, Li Qingyi was still thinking about this matter, as well as the unpleasant expression of the current Shuntian Prefecture Governor before he left, and sighed.

Fang Xin heard the noise and went out to greet him. Before she could say anything, she saw Li Qingyi sighing first, so she asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's the matter? Did you encounter any troubles outside the palace?"

As Li Qingyi grew older, she became less and less willing to run around with a group of people. Plus, she was a martial artist, unlike those quiet girls. Occasionally, when something happened, she would be a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. Ordinary palace maids were really not suitable to follow her.

Maybe he would even become a burden to Li Qingyi.

Fang Xin has watched Li Qingyi grow up and knows her personality well. In addition, Fang Xin is now in her thirties, which is almost the age for a grandmother in this era. So Fang Xin simply stays in the palace to help Li Qingyi maintain order and rarely goes out to play with her.

The same is true today.

When Li Qingyi saw her, he first took out the osmanthus cake he bought for Fang Xin on the street from his sleeve. While handing it to her, he told her what happened on the street.

Then, Li Qingyi said, "Over the past few years, I've seen that the security in the capital has been getting better and better. I don't think it's good to see people robbing jewelry in the street."

Fang Xin took the osmanthus cake wrapped in oil paper with both hands. She knew what was inside by moving her nose. While listening to Li Qingyi talking about what he saw and heard outside the palace, she followed Li Qingyi into the room.

After listening, Fang Xin smiled and said, "Anyone with a brain knows that anyone walking on the street may have an extraordinary background. How can you offend them so easily?"

Fang Xin: "I guess that thief is probably not from the capital. He must be a bandit who came from somewhere and got into the city by luck. He thinks that if he can just get away with it once, he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life, so he took the risk."

Hearing this, Li Qingyi was stunned, "You are right."

Her brain was becoming less and less useful, and she had not even thought about this aspect. It was only after Aunt Fangxin reminded her that she realized it.

How could a local person in Beijing have the guts to rob someone without even knowing the identity of the target person?

But wouldn't this make things more complicated?

Li Qingyi went into the house and changed into a loose dress. She took a paper fan with the words "One leaf tells the coming of autumn" and sat down on a recliner in the corridor. She thought for a moment, "Why do I always feel like something is wrong?"

Fang Xin smiled and advised, "Since you said that this matter has alarmed the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, the Emperor and the Crown Prince must have heard the news. You don't have to think too much about this matter. If there is really something fishy going on, it will not escape the eyes of those two."

Li Qingyi agreed with Fang Xin's words, but she also felt that she couldn't just ignore her brain any longer. Although she preferred a lazy life, she really couldn't let her brain become naive.

So, Li Qingyi waved his hand and rejected the information that the system wanted to share in his mind. He lay in the chair and thought for two hours until the sun set.

During this time, Fang Xin did not disturb her thinking, but just watched the time to bring her tea and snacks, so that Li Qingyi would not have to give additional instructions if she needed anything, and she served her well.

"There is a conspiracy." Li Qingyi said this while looking at the slanting shadow of the palace wall.

Fang Xin: "Your Highness?"

Li Qingyi put away the fan, stood up and stretched, then said to Fang Xin with a smile: "It's okay, at this time, let's go to the Queen Mother's place to eat."

Fang Xin laughed and shook her head: "If you go, the Queen will be so happy."

——————————————————————————————

Li Qingyi did not dine with the empress or the emperor every day now. Although both the emperor and the empress were happy to dine with their little girl, Li Qingyi was more independent than they expected.

Just as she didn't like being surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, Li Qingyi also didn't like the rules when the emperor and empress had meals.

Even though they were relatively more relaxed when dining with Li Qingyi and had no demands on Li Qingyi, the two of them had more or less formed their own habits under the influence of court etiquette for many years.

It’s just... not that comfortable, and the atmosphere will also affect appetite invisibly.

It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, and sometimes a formal meal also needs a sense of ritual, but Li Qingyi feels that doing it every day is not okay.

So now Li Qingyi has meals with the emperor and empress on fixed days every month, and randomly seeks out the crown prince to dine together. More often she eats alone or randomly chooses one of her sister's houses to eat, to experience the dining atmosphere of different people.

Oh, now Li Qingyi is no longer the youngest princess in the harem, but her status has basically not changed.

This family made Li Qingyi sigh at how powerful her own father was. Even in his middle age, he could count the number of times he entered the harem in a year. Even so, the concubines in the palace, who hardly changed at all, gave birth to two sons and three daughters for him.

It’s really amazing.

Don't ask Li Qingyi why she knew how often her father entered the harem. The emperor had a melon on his head, and Li Qingyi had never eaten it out of filial piety. As a result, every morning when she opened the map, she could see which palace the emperor came out of.

outrageous.

Of course, what is even more outrageous is that the reason why Li Qingyi could see the emperor's movements before he went to court was because Li Qingyi also got up at the same time.

Well, who would rise up at the sound of the cock-crow and practice martial arts seriously without doing morning exercises?

Although Li Qingyi is the type of player who washes up, eats breakfast, and takes a nap after morning exercise, she did get up after all, so she can't avoid being praised for her hard work, right?

When Li Qingyi arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen was holding a booklet and a pair of glasses in her hands, with her eyes slightly narrowed.

Although this scene was not the first time that Li Qingyi had seen it over the past few years, he still felt dazed every time he saw it.

This was the same feeling she had every time she left the palace and saw not only horse-drawn carriages but also bicycles passing by on the main road outside the palace.

Ridiculous, yet true.
