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

The emperor was eventually driven away by the queen.

The reason is simple - if the prince stays, he can listen to the key points of taking care of his daughter-in-law. It would not be a good idea for you, a father-in-law, to stay, right?

Then Li Qingyi was also kicked out.

The father and daughter looked at each other at the palace gate.

Li Qingyi: "Father, I understand that you were kicked out, but why was I kicked out too?"

The emperor touched his nose, looking in a good mood, and said, "Maybe your mother thinks I'm too lonely?"

So throw her out to accompany the emperor?

Li Qingyi was speechless for a moment, and finally followed her father back to the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace has undergone significant changes compared to a few years ago. Thanks to the "messing around" of Li Qingyi and his group, today's building materials are not limited to wood. The emperor originally considered whether he should rebuild his own Qianqing Palace.

After all, cement houses look really solid.

However, under Li Qingyi's strong opposition, the emperor finally gave up the plan to rebuild a Qianqing Palace, but still asked the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to jointly come up with a plan.

Reconstruction is not necessary, but reinforcement and repair are possible.

Therefore, the Qianqing Palace today still looks like the same Qianqing Palace, but some of its internal structures have changed.

Li Qingyi grew up watching the changes in the palace over the past few years. In her previous life, places like this were all tourist attractions. After this life, when it became her home, she felt cautious at first. But now...

It's great that she resisted making any changes.

For someone who wants to make life as convenient as possible, this is really amazing!

After all, when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Li Qingyi is a pragmatist. In other words, she pays more attention to practicality than to appearance, so she doesn't care about layout, structure and so on.

But it is not true to say that Li Qingyi has no aesthetic sense at all. Although she seems very casual sometimes, Li Qingyi can be considered an art student - an engineering art student.

It's so funny. How can you tell by looking at her food, clothing, housing and transportation?

The father and daughter sat in the Qianqing Palace for a while. After Li Qingyi went over in her mind what she had to do tomorrow, she came to her senses and saw her father reading a memorial book.

She asked curiously, "What is Father looking at?"

The emperor did not even raise his head and answered directly: "The flood season in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River is almost over this year. Local officials have written to the emperor that the newly built dams are basically intact. I am looking at the situation in other places."

There have been many natural disasters and man-made tragedies in recent years, but Daning has finally recovered from the war. In addition, the updates on cement and other material technologies, as well as the promotion of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", have all had a positive impact.

Anyway, it is still a bit troublesome for people to encounter natural disasters nowadays, but the casualties and losses are no longer as shocking as in previous years.

Li Qingyi: "Without those people who want to embezzle the material fees, nothing can be accomplished."

This refers to those people who wanted to kill Wang Xuan for their own interests in order to obstruct the promotion of cement.

The emperor smiled, closed the memorial, picked up another one on the table, and said calmly, "Didn't you encounter something when you left the palace today? Tell me about it."

Li Qingyi: "Didn't Father know this a long time ago?"

That's why she didn't bother to repeat herself.

Emperor: "Well, now that I know, I want to know what you think."

Hearing this, Li Qingyi rolled his eyes and asked, "Father, do you want to test me?"

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at her, with a smile in his eyes: "I just asked a casual question, how can it be considered an assessment. Besides, I don't have any requirements for you."

Li Qingyi thought about it and agreed, so he told him all the random thoughts he had before.

Li Qingyi: "... Apart from anything else, the population management in the capital has been somewhat relaxed. This situation did not occur in the past few years."

Emperor: "In the past few years, there were many things going on in the court. You liked to go out of the palace and were young, so I kept a close eye on you. In the past two years, I have relaxed a little, and the people below have relaxed as well. Maybe they have become a little lax."

Emperor: "Didn't you say before that population mobility is not a bad thing? I can't ban people from outside the capital from entering the capital."

Li Qingyi tilted his head and thought for a while, then touched his nose: "That's not what I meant. I just have a feeling that someone is plotting something behind the scenes and wants to cause trouble."

There was no one around here, and Li Qingyi was in a very relaxed state, so he said what he was thinking directly: "Ordinary people are fine. Most people who come to the imperial city will only try to settle down. They will never do such a thing as robbing in the street."

"One or two of these unstable elements would be fine, but if there were too many, I'm afraid there would be chaos."

Li Qingyi couldn't really describe what she was thinking, but she had a vague feeling. It wouldn't be a sense of crisis, but it was like a rat had gotten into the house.

The emperor closed the memorial again without replying. He adjusted his sitting position and looked at Li Qingyi, smiling: "How do you feel?"

Li Qingyi nodded.

Anyway, they were just a private chat between father and daughter, nothing serious.

The emperor touched his chin, rubbed the little beard on his chin with his fingertips for a while, and said, "I know, I will ask someone to check it out."

As for how to investigate and what to investigate...well, that is the business of the people below. As the head of a country, he just needs to wait for the results.

Commander of the Blue Guards: ...

After that, the emperor turned to another matter: "The Crown Princess has good news, but is there no news from Wang Xuan?"

Li Qingyi was stunned, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I just asked casually."

——————————————————————————————

But Li Qingyi never felt that her father was the type who would inexplicably pay attention to other people's family affairs.

The next morning, thinking of the emperor's questions last night, Li Qingyi still felt that there was something wrong.

However, she did not plan to leave the palace today. She only asked someone to send the letter she had written before going to bed yesterday out of the palace, making sure it was delivered to Wang Xuan.

Before she was ordered to leave, Li Qingyi called her again: "Wait."

The young palace maid stood in front of her obediently, looking at her curiously: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?" Could it be that he wanted her to bring something in?

Li Qingyi thought about it and wanted to ask the maid to pass on a message, but finally thought that the emperor might not want others to notice this matter, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Bring me a roast duck when you return to the palace."

The palace maid knelt down to show that she had received the message and left.

After Fang Xin and the others had gone far away, she lowered her head and asked Li Qingyi, "Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me?"

Li Qingyi waved her hand.

Then she directly relayed the emperor's words to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan: [Ah, I’m being targeted.]
