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

The news spread almost everywhere overnight.

Caused an uproar.

Although after all these years, everyone can see that when the new emperor Li Yu was the crown prince, his position was so stable that no one could shake it even if they tried their best, but...

It was still too sudden.

Especially since the emperor was in good health and had no disasters, and judging from the result of the assassination in front of the emperor, it was obvious that he had been prepared for it. Why would he suddenly pass the throne to the new emperor?

When ordinary people received the news, they did not react much. After all, this was not the first day that the prince had been the prince. Over the years, the prince had handled a lot of things and had left a good reputation among the people.

In other words, the brother and sister Li Yan and Li Qingyi had a good reputation among the people, and in some places their reputation was even higher than that of the emperor.

But for those officials, their immediate boss has changed. Even though they have had frequent contact with the new boss in the past and can roughly understand the new boss's style of doing things and know that the other party is not a tyrant, they still feel uneasy.

In short, some people just want to get by and don't want any major changes in the management of the "company" they work for, for fear of affecting their retirement.

Because of what happened in the Qianqing Palace, the imperial court held a grand court meeting the next day. In addition to the officials who were supposed to attend the court, the royal family members who usually retired at home also came.

However, what really surprised everyone was that there were many unfamiliar faces appearing in the hall today.

"Who is that?" In a relatively remote corner, an official whispered to his colleague from the Ministry of Rites.

"That person looks like the tenth princess."

"Tenth Princess...why are you here today?"

"Let alone the Tenth Princess, except for a few princes under the age of ten, several princes and princesses have arrived today."

"Look, over there in the royal family, do you see that young woman dressed like a woman? Don't you recognize her? That's the fourth princess."

“This…this is not…”

"Hush, don't talk nonsense like those old sour scholars. Have you forgotten our princess?"

"..."

Li Qingyi also came today.

In fact, she has rarely appeared in court meetings in recent years. When she was young, she was carried by her father to sit on the lofty dragon throne several times. As she grew older, it was not convenient for the emperor to hold her, so Li Qingyi rarely came.

It’s not that he never comes. Occasionally, with his father’s permission, Li Qingyi would sit behind the screen and listen to the court meetings sleepily to see if there is anything he can do to help.

But, it is rarely seen in public.

But this does not prevent her from becoming a familiar face to everyone.

She came here today with a mission.

As for what the mission is...

Thinking that it was still dark today and Li Qingyi was still asleep, she was gently awakened, and then she saw her father who had slept in Kunning Palace last night. She said lightly: "Today is a grand court meeting, Yi'er, please support your brother."

What place?

Oh, read the imperial edict.

Li Qingyi: ...

Li Qingyi was completely awake.

Yesterday, Li Qingyi simply asked his father why he abdicated, and after getting the answer, he did not continue to investigate.

Firstly, she is a result-oriented person in this matter and doesn't care about the process. All she wants is to make sure that there are no fatal problems in her own small family.

Secondly, there is no need for her to analyze her own father's psychology. Isn't that just looking for trouble?

After that, Li Qingyi asked again why she was asked to read the imperial edict. It was her first time doing this job and she was confused at the time and almost read it wrong.

It was not the emperor himself who answered her, but the empress: "Yier, your father is also doing this for your own good."

Then, the Queen analyzed with Li Qingyi how doing so would improve her status.

Simply put, Li Qingyi was a witness to the new emperor's ascension to the throne, which further confirmed the special status of Li Qingyi as a legitimate princess, and also put a safety lock on the relationship between Li Qingyi and the new emperor.

Although Li Qingyi and Li Li were biological siblings and had always had a good relationship since childhood, Li Li always took Li Qingyi's affairs very seriously. Also, because the emperor was strict with Li Qingyi in certain matters, he, as the eldest brother, also played part of the role of a kind father.

The eldest brother is like a father.

In this palace, among the emperor, empress and Li Yan, it is hard to tell who dotes on Li Qingyi the most.

But the emperor always looks at things differently from others, and he considers more.

Besides, since having an extra hand can provide an extra layer of protection for my daughter, why not do it?

If this matter gets out, it can become a good story.

Li Qingyi listened to the Queen imparting a lot of knowledge, which made her head dizzy. In the end, she came to the conclusion that - anyway, it was something that was good for her!

As a result, she thought that she only needed to do this once, but she never expected that she had to read it once yesterday and again today.

She thought it was the same imperial edict, but when the grand court meeting officially began and Li Qingyi read the imperial edict, she opened the imperial edict that had just been passed to her and found out...

Hmm? Wait, this imperial edict seems to be different from yesterday's. Why is there more at the end?

Until she read: "... Eleventh girl, huh?"

what?

Isn't this an imperial decree to pass on the throne? Why is she mentioned?

Li Qingyi was caught off guard and got stuck for a moment while reading, but soon realized that he was in public and it was not the time to be hesitant, so he gritted his teeth and continued reading.

"…Princess Jinhao Dingguo."

After a pause, Li Qingyi took a breath, resisted the urge to turn around and look at the poem above, and finished reading the last two sentences.

Then, seemingly calmly, he ended the process.

The subsequent process was similar to the movies and TV shows Li Qingyi had watched before, with all the officials kneeling and chanting "Long live the emperor".

The only thing that was beyond her expectations was that because she was named in the imperial edict and was given the title of Princess Dingguo, everyone added a sentence to their slogan: "Long live Princess Dingguo!"

Li Qingyi: ...

Li Qingyi's head was buzzing.

——————————————————————————————

After the most important matter of today's grand court meeting was over, the emperor... Oh, now everyone has changed their way of addressing him and called him the Grand Emperor. After all, the matter of succession to the throne was not considered a formal occasion yesterday. Today's grand court meeting has completely finalized it, and everyone has to change their way of addressing him.

The retired emperor sat at the top with the new emperor. After all the decisions were made, except for a few officials who stayed behind, everyone else was free to do whatever they wanted after the court session.

Li Qingyi had a lot of questions to ask, but her father and brother seemed to have things to do, so she hesitated and went to find her mother.

The Queen Mother seemed to have been prepared and was waiting for her in Kunning Palace.

"Mother." Li Qingyi walked in quickly and saw the Queen Mother fiddling with the vase leisurely. After a pause, she asked, "Mother, do you not have to deal with palace affairs today?"

The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile: "Silly child."

Li Qingyi reacted and thought, oh, there is a new queen, which means her sister-in-law will take over, and her mother can have some free time.

No, her family... It’s been a relaxing day. Is it true that power is transferred so quickly?
