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

Before going to bed, the emperor reviewed what he had been dealing with recently, mainly to confirm whether there was anything important that he had forgotten. After making sure that everything was almost done, he would consider how to appease the frightened courtiers. Then he asked Huang Kang: "What did Yi'er say today?"

Since the emperor knew that Li Qingyi had those supernatural powers, he naturally arranged people to watch over Li Qingyi.

One is to protect Li Qingyi, and the other is to help collect the conversation between Li Qingyi and the system and have someone record it.

When he had nothing to do, he would take out the chat records and read them to pass the time.

But he was very busy these days, and if Huang Kang said there was nothing important, the emperor would just go to rest.

Since the previous emperor died of overwork, the emperor paid more attention to his health. He would rest when he needed to and never stay up late.

Huang Kang had been waiting for the emperor to ask. Hearing this, he bent slightly and respectfully told the emperor the news that had come from Li Qingyi during the day.

Of course, Huang Kang knew that the emperor would not be too interested in Bilan's affairs, so he just passed it over.

Hearing that the queen was going to arrange for her family to take Li Qingyi out of the palace, the emperor thought for a moment and smiled: "Duke Cheng'en's Mansion... after all, it is Yi'er's maternal grandfather's home, so they should know the situation."

If the little princess Li Qingyi wants to go out of the palace, the queen can just arrange it directly, and there is no need to notify the emperor specifically.

However, both the Queen and the Emperor knew that the Emperor had spies around Li Qingyi, so the Queen knew that the Emperor would definitely know about her arrangements.

But Li Qingyi...

The emperor seemed to be asking Huang Kang, or talking to himself, "This system seems to know a lot of things. Does it know that I have someone by Yi'er's side?"

Hearing this, Huang Kang bent his waist even deeper, "Your Majesty, you made this arrangement out of your deep love for your daughter. Even if the system knew about it, it wouldn't tell anyone."

The emperor looked at him, smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand."

Huang Kang laughed: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, while I am stupid."

The emperor did not intend to explain anything, he just said: "Go to sleep."

He was not a man who cared much about women. When the empress dowager was alive, in order to reassure her, the emperor would flip through the concubines every day even if he did not sleep with them.

After the Empress Dowager passed away, the Emperor only visited the harem every few days. He used his free time to handle government affairs and then went directly to sleep in the Qianqing Palace.

The same is true today.

Huang Kang took a break from serving the emperor and felt relieved.

Fortunately, the emperor did not intend to say more to him, otherwise Huang Kang would also be terrified - he was already deeply trusted by the emperor, otherwise he would not have asked him to help select the news coming from the little princess every day. But everything has a limit. If the emperor had to explain his thoughts to him, Huang Kang would only be afraid, not happy.

Is it so easy to know the emperor’s thoughts?

Naturally not.

Besides, isn’t there a saying that the more you know, the faster you die?

The next day, Li Qingyi met her eldest aunt, second aunt, and two cousins ​​brought by her two aunts.

Li Qingyi's eldest and second cousins ​​were already married, so they had to submit separate invitations to enter the palace to meet the queen, so the ones who came to the palace this time were her third and fourth cousins.

After she greeted her two aunts and two cousins, she sat next to the Queen and listened to their conversation for a while. She found out that they were talking about the marriages of her third and fourth cousins.

My third cousin is the second daughter of my second aunt. She is sixteen years old this year and will be getting married at the end of the year. Her future husband comes from a noble and scholarly family. He passed the imperial examination last year and was captured by my second uncle as a son-in-law.

Of course, the situation of catching a son-in-law under the list is not seen by the insiders. In fact, the two families had already met each other, but the man wanted to marry a wife in a grand manner after passing the exam. He also didn't want others to say that he passed the exam because of the Cheng'en Mansion, so he had not released the news to the public before.

Although my fourth cousin was brought by my aunt, she is not her aunt's daughter. Instead, she is the daughter born to a concubine in my uncle's backyard. She was raised by my aunt since she was a child, so she is considered a half-legitimate daughter.

The third cousin seems to be more lively, while the fourth cousin looks gentle and virtuous. Considering their identities, it is not difficult to understand why they behave like this.

Li Qingyi heard from his aunt Wang: "They will be married, one at the end of this year and the other at the beginning of next year. Your second sister-in-law and I have been busy with these things for the past few years. When we are done, we will find a good wife for Xu'er, and then we can rest assured and enjoy our lives."

Xu'er is Wang's second son and also the second legitimate son of his uncle, Huo Xu.

My second aunt smiled faintly beside me and said nothing.

Li Qingyi looked at his third cousin Huo Min, then at his fourth cousin Huo Lan, and felt that the names of his two cousins... were really suitable.

However, although these two girls are about to get married, in Li Qingyi's eyes they are still children. Thinking about the fact that many people in ancient times got married in their teens, and hearing that there are some who got married before the age of ten, Li Qingyi felt extremely complicated.

But this is not what Li Qingyi cares about most.

Li Qingyi pulled the queen's sleeve and said, "Mother, I'm a little sleepy."

The Queen smiled when she heard this, knowing that Li Qingyi probably found what they were talking about uninteresting. She did not ask her to take her two cousins ​​to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, and asked Fang Xin to take Li Qingyi to a side hall to rest.

After saying that, the queen pointed to a steady maid beside her and said, "What we old people are talking about here is not interesting to young people. You take the two young ladies out for a walk and relax."

She didn't need to give many instructions or know what to pay attention to, as the people below knew it all.

Hearing this, Huo Min's eyes, which had been doing nothing, suddenly lit up.

Holland, on the other hand, remained calm as ever. He stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Huo Min smiled and took Huo Lan's arm, said something to her mother, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, everyone in the hall heard a familiar voice ringing in their ears.

[System, help me check if there is any gossip about the future husbands of my third and fourth cousins, such as cousin brothers and sisters.]

Huo Min's eyes widened, and Huo Lan was also stunned. It was rare that they couldn't control their expressions and their eyes showed surprise.

Wang was also stunned for a moment, then she remembered something and looked at the queen silently. When she saw the queen nod slightly, she understood.

Just as Huo Min was about to open her mouth, Huo Lan, who had the fastest reaction, pulled her.

Huo Min: "Fourth sister?"

It was only after Huo Lan's eye contact that Huo Min noticed the elder's eye contact.

She swallowed. Although Huo Min was more lively than Huo Lan, she was brought up with great care. If nothing else, she would still read the expressions of her elders - which meant that she should stop talking.

At this time, another child's voice sounded.

System: [Ah, Huo Min's fiancé is not a big deal, but the one your fourth cousin Huo Lan picked is a big deal, 200 energy, do you want to eat it? ]

Everyone looked at each other.
