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

Some people have already realized who the protagonist of that magical voice is, but no one can speak at this time, allowing the girl who is held in the emperor's arms to continue speaking.

The emperor himself, with a smile on his face, scratched his daughter's small nose affectionately, and then had Li Qingyi taken to a side hall to rest. It was obvious that he had no intention of satisfying the court officials who wanted to watch the show.

Everyone:...

Fine.

Then let’s continue discussing state affairs.

It seemed that the emperor already knew the key to the matter and most likely did not intend to give them the chance to continue listening.

Pity.

However, although the little princess has left, isn’t the second prince still here?

From time to time, his gaze would glance at the Second Prince who was standing behind the Crown Prince. Those who were concerned had already started to wonder in their hearts.

But now that the emperor obviously did not intend to discuss what had just happened, the ministers could only calm down.

He has been on the throne for thirteen years now. His position is stable and he holds great power. He has the power of life and death. He is not like the person who was manipulated at will by the civil servants in the late period of the previous dynasty.

……

When Li Qingyi arrived at the side hall, she found that the palace servants had already prepared snacks for her, and Aunt Fangxin had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing her, Aunt Fangxin's face was as gentle and amiable as ever. She welcomed Li Qingyi into the hall, sat down on the prepared couch, and asked Li Qingyi if she needed anything.

Li Qingyi waved his hands, indicating that he didn't need anything. He propped his chin up and picked up a piece of pastry on the table, eating it in small bites, and started chatting with the system again.

Li Qingyi: [Xiao Ba, what did you say the Second Prince was going to do before? ]

System 88: [He wants to restore his country. ]

Li Qingyi was stunned: [Ah? ]

All the officials, who had already resumed their usual court procedures, paused.

The prince turned his head and looked at Li Qi in surprise. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Even if, even if Li Qi is not the emperor's biological son, his father has been training him seriously over the years, and all the food, clothing and expenses of the Second Prince are also paid according to the expenses of a prince. Isn't their family good enough to Li Qi?

Li Qi's face turned blue and white, then blue and white, and was covered in cold sweat, but he did not dare to meet the prince's gaze.

The emperor was sitting at the top, and when he heard the voice, his expression became somewhat subtle.

It seems that the sound is coming from quite a distance.

As for Li Qi's plan to restore the country... the emperor didn't care much about it. After all, the second prince grew up under his nose, and he knew well how capable his adopted son was.

Don't panic.

Li Qingyi had no idea how much shock he had brought to everyone, and became a little interested: [What, does he still have blood from the previous dynasty? Hidden plot? ]

System 88: [No, he is just the child of an ordinary guard. I even dug up his family tree and traced it all the way back to the Zhenguan period, but I couldn't find any blood relationship between his family and the royal family of the previous dynasty.]

Li Qi's face turned green and his body began to tremble. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and fell to his knees with a thud.

However, before he could utter anything, the eunuchs and guards who had already received orders rushed over and covered his mouth.

Li Qi: “Mmmmm…”

The prince looked at the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling them to drag Li Qi away first.

Li Qi widened his eyes.

However, at this moment, he met the emperor's cold eyes, his body stiffened, and he was "quietly" taken away in front of all the officials.

At least, if I don't struggle, I can still retain my final dignity.

All officials fell silent.

The emperor said calmly: "Continue."

Everyone was shocked.

In the side hall, Li Qingyi finished a piece of osmanthus cake and listened to the system beeping with full concentration.

[Li Qi was also fooled. He actually knew long ago that he was not the emperor's biological son.]

Li Qingyi: Hmm?

System 88: [This brings us to Li Qi’s biological mother, Concubine Liu.]

[Host, you would never have thought that your second brother's identity is questionable, and the identity of Concubine Liu in the emperor's harem is also questionable.]

Li Qingyi: [Don’t keep me in suspense, just tell me quickly. ]

The officials nearby, who had unconsciously started listening to the gossip, all nodded in their hearts: That's right, why is this baby so slow? Hurry up!

But Li Qingyi was silent again.

Everyone:...

*

Li Qingyi didn't stop eating the melon halfway through, but the queen came to pick her up in person.

Li Qingyi was a little surprised to see her biological mother in this life, but she still stood up obediently, walked to the queen and saluted her, then naturally approached her: "Mother, why are you here?"

The queen smiled and said, "Someone brought some new things in today. I thought you might like them, so I came to take you back to have a look."

Similar situations had occurred before. Li Qingyi had no doubts at all. She smiled and held the Queen's hand, waving to the eunuch who was guarding her for the Emperor: "Eunuch Huang, I will go with my mother first. Remember to tell my father to go to Kunning Palace to find me."

Although she has recovered her adult memories, Li Qingyi is not ambiguous about pretending to be young at this time. Why should she make herself mature when she can be a baby?

Eunuch Huang looked at the little princess with a smile on his face. He responded repeatedly, and then he walked the queen and the little princess for a long way before returning.

After the morning court session ended, the emperor called a few courtiers to the imperial study to discuss matters. Only after the meeting was he free to ask the eunuch Huang Kang, "Are you going home?"

Eunuch Huang smiled and nodded: "Yes, when the Queen heard the news, she came over to take the person back personally."

The emperor nodded and glanced at the sky: "Let's go to Kunning Palace."

"twitter."

In Kunning Palace, Li Qingyi was held in the arms of the Queen. She did not mind being intimate with her beautiful mother. While listening to the Queen chatting with her confidant, she fiddled with the Luban lock that was stuffed into her hand.

After all the knots were untied, Li Qingyi raised her head slightly to look at the queen, then looked at the palace maids beside her, feeling a little bored.

Li Qingyi: [System, come, finish eating the melon from before. ]

System 88: [Here we come! ]

[We mentioned Concubine Liu before. Her identity is also problematic. 】

[This also has to be traced back to the time when the previous dynasty fell. At that time, there was a princess who did not want to be humiliated when the country fell, so she committed suicide. Then there was a maidservant beside the princess. She was not a confidant, but she served the princess for several years. She took some of the princess's gold and silver during the chaos, and luckily she escaped. ]

[Later, the maid became a concubine of a businessman and gave birth to a daughter. Coincidentally, the businessman's first wife also gave birth to a daughter a day later. She bribed the midwife at the time to swap the two babies.]

[Then, this businessman was lucky, his business became big, and he established connections with the government. He gave his legitimate daughter to the emperor, who was still a prince at the time. This legitimate daughter became Concubine Liu.]

The hall, which had originally been filled with the sound of conversation, fell into silence.
