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

When Li Qingyi learned that the emperor and the crown prince had completed the transfer of most of the power in private without her paying much attention in the past few years, she was stunned.

Li Qingyi in the past: What should I do? Although my brother has a good relationship with my father, there is an heir to the throne in my family. My brother is getting older and older, and my father is getting older and older. Is it really true that the situation of Kangxi and Crown Prince Yinreng will not happen again?

Li Qingyi now: It seems that I worried for nothing, my father is in a hurry to abdicate.

Li Qingyi hesitated to speak.

The emperor looked at her with a smile and said nothing more.

The imperial edict in his hand seemed like a hot potato, but also like a light piece of paper. Li Qingyi felt dazed and unreal, and at the same time, it seemed ridiculous.

Finally, under the urging of the Seventh Princess, Li Qingyi read out the imperial edict in a somewhat confused manner.

Everyone dispersed.

Yes, after an assassination, a brief trial and purge, and a public abdication, everyone just dispersed.

In fact, it was not only Li Qingyi who was in a trance. Except for the emperor, empress, crown prince and 792 princesses, everyone else was also confused when they saw the imperial edict of succession that the emperor stuffed into Li Qingyi.

Including Xie Chengyao.

As a minister with real power, Xie Chengyao would naturally not be unaware of the handover of affairs and power between his two new and old superiors.

But even he did not expect that the emperor would retreat so easily and decisively.

It was a big drama, which didn't start suddenly, but ended unexpectedly.

——————————————————————————————

Li Qingyi returned to Kunning Palace with the emperor and the empress, and the crown prince... Oh, the imperial edict has been read out. Although he has to wait for the formal coronation ceremony, the crown prince can now be renamed the new emperor.

In short, the new emperor stayed there to deal with the aftermath, and the emperor took his wife and daughter back to Kunning Palace.

"Yier looks like she hasn't come to her senses yet." After entering the main hall, the emperor had someone bring tea of ​​just the right temperature, then waved his hand for everyone else to leave.

Uh, it seems that the emperor can also be renamed the emperor emeritus... Never mind, it doesn’t matter.

Li Qingyi looked at the emperor who was sitting casually, and then looked at the queen who was smiling and seemed relaxed, and finally asked, "Why did my father abdicate so suddenly?"

The emperor heard this, looked at the queen, and then smiled: "Why do you say it's sudden? I, I wanted to abdicate a long time ago, but I couldn't do it before."

"I thought you would be happy."

Li Qingyi: "Happy."

She was happy, but because she was caught off guard and not mentally prepared, and things developed too suddenly, Li Qingyi felt more confused than happy.

Li Qingyi: "That's right, I'm a little confused."

she says.

Li Qingyi: "Doesn't history say that..."

The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Li Qingyi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and finally said: "What does it mean that father said he wanted to abdicate a long time ago?"

Emperor: "Yier, you really like to go out of the palace, right? If it weren't for me and the Queen not allowing you, you would even want to leave the capital, right?"

Li Qingyi nodded.

She did not deny this point, because in this era there were no mobile phones, tablets or computers, and there were only a few ways to entertain. Even if it was playing mahjong, it would be fine for Li Qingyi to play occasionally, but it would be boring to play every day.

When there is no entertainment, staying at home is not as relaxing as you think.

Why is Li Qingyi so serious about studying? In part, it is because she is not averse to learning knowledge and even likes it.

But another part is that since there is not much entertainment, studying can bring a sense of accomplishment, and it is safe and saves trouble.

Emperor: "When I was young, I was a general."

At this point, the emperor paused and said with a smile: "Before your uncle passed away, I never thought that I would be trapped in the capital for decades by the dragon throne."

The emperor was not Taizu's designated heir, so from the very beginning, after the heir was determined, the emperor was consciously trained to be a wise king.

But the emperor eventually became the emperor. The former general took off his armor, dismounted his warhorse, and sat on the dragon throne for decades.

Some people are obsessed with power and refuse to let go until they die.

Some people prefer freedom to rights.

Emperor: "If your brother is incapable, I would probably have to stay in this position for a few more decades. At least I would have seen your brother's successor grow up and make sure that this country can still be stable."

As he said this, the emperor put his hand on the queen's hand. The couple looked at each other and smiled again.

The Emperor said: "It's hard to say whether your brother is capable of leading troops in battle, but he is good at governing. Besides, I am only abdicating, not dying. If there is any accident, I can handle it at any time. It's better to let your brother take the throne, so that your mother and I can have a better rest."

Li Qingyi was stunned.

Emperor: "Don't you want to go somewhere else? After your brother officially ascends the throne, I plan to go to Jiangnan with your mother. Do you want to come with us?"

Li Qingyi blinked.

Blink again.

After a moment, her eyes lit up completely.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Yu sat in the seat that originally belonged to his father, writing something with one hand, and said without looking up: "Keep it as it is for now, and change it after I ascend the throne."

"Yes, Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

Li Yu heard this and stopped what he was doing. He looked towards the door and said, "Announce."

After a while, the Crown Princess came in from outside wearing a red palace dress. She walked around the screen and looked into Li Yan's eyes. She seemed to be slightly relieved and knelt down to salute.

Li Yu put down the jade pen in his hand, stood up and helped him up personally, and then said: "There is no outsider here. You have been unwell these days, so don't do these things."

Then, the young couple sat down on the couch beside them. The Crown Princess asked softly, "When I heard the news, I thought I had heard it wrong. I didn't expect... that my father and mother had gone to Kunning Palace?"

Li Yu nodded slightly: "I originally wanted to hide this from my sister, but I failed. She was quite frightened today. I'm afraid that my father's sudden behavior was also intended to attract my sister's attention."

In Li Yan's opinion, the emperor's edict was probably used as a backup plan just in case.

But no matter what happened, the result is already here. The emperor has directly handed the follow-up of today's incident to him to deal with. There are still many follow-up problems. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

The Crown Princess: "I originally thought I had to wait for my father... but now things happened so suddenly, I was not prepared, and I am still a little confused."

Li Yu held her hand and smiled: "It's okay, I'll take care of everything."
