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

Li Qingyi didn't know what happened in Chuxiu Palace. She had a narrow mind and didn't know much about the harem. Unless it was necessary, she would naturally not take the initiative to ask the system about the situation of other people in the harem.

She waited for two days. During these two days, apart from asking the system about her account balance every day, she did not buy any additional melons.

Don’t ask, the answer is that the balance is a bit small and I don’t want to spend it.

Finally, on this day, under the arrangement of the Queen, Li Qingyi was sent to the palace gate by the Emperor's confidants and met her cousin Huo Xu.

Huo Xusheng is somewhat similar to the Queen, but there is still a big difference between the young man's heroic spirit and the Queen's gracefulness and elegance. But just these few similarities made Li Qingyi feel very close to him the first time she saw him.

Of course, this kind of intimacy can also be said to be a blood-related intimacy. In any case, when Li Qingyi saw this handsome boy, she had a very good first impression.

"Cousin Xu." Li Qingyi greeted with a smile.

She thought she was just saying hello, but in Huo Xu's eyes, the scene was like a little kitten raising its paw towards her and meowing softly, so cute it was overwhelming.

Afterwards, Huo Xu reacted and subconsciously knelt down to salute.

However, Li Qingyi was faster than him and had already walked to Huo Xu's side. Huo Xu's slight bending at this moment made it convenient for her. She directly held Huo Xu's hand and looked up at him with a smile: "Cousin Xu, I'll ask you to take care of me today."

Hehe, it seems that the Huo family has good genes. Her mother is a great beauty, her two aunts are also good-looking, her cousins ​​are more beautiful than each other, and her cousins ​​are also handsome.

Although he is still a teenager, Li Qingyi can already imagine how graceful he will be when he grows up.

I thought the other cousins ​​would not be bad looking either, but only Huo Xu was free to come today. The other cousins ​​either had already entered the court as officials, were being used as tools by the prince recently and had no time to come, or were not in the capital.

The little princess's hands were as soft as cotton. The moment Huo Xu was held, he felt his whole body stiff and he dared not move, for fear that he might accidentally hurt this little cutie.

Hearing Li Qingyi's words, Huo Xu felt that his cousin, though still young, spoke in a very reasonable manner, and he found her even more adorable.

At the same time, Huo Xu's mind kept replaying the instructions given to him by his father and brother before he left the house, and he resisted the urge to hold the little princess in his arms.

There was no way. In Huo Xu's family, he was considered young among his peers. Although he had seen children of Li Qingyi's age, they were not close to him. Huo Xu himself was not a person who liked children very much - he was still a child himself, how could he have such a loving heart.

So, for various reasons, this was the first time that Huo Xu had such contact with such a young child, a girl at that.

Huo Xu practiced martial arts himself. If it was a boy, he would think it was nothing, but for a girl...

Huo Xu: Oh, what should I do? Should I hold her hand? But what if I don't control the strength well and hurt the little princess? I'm so confused. Why didn't my father and brother tell me? What should I do if the little princess holds my hand?

All in all, Huo Xu's mind was a little confused at the moment.

Li Qingyi looked up at the carriage in front of him, a little hesitant.

She wanted to take a closer look at what was happening outside the palace, but she also knew that it would be a bit difficult for her to walk to the Princess's Mansion with her weak arms and legs.

Then, Li Qingyi looked at Huo Xu, sized up the young man's physique, and felt distressed: "Alas, although I am happy that my cousin is here to accompany me, this cousin is a little young. If I ask him to carry me all the way, it will be too difficult for him."

So, in the end, Li Qingyi had no choice but to say to Huo Xu: "Cousin, can you carry me up?"

Fang Xin, who had been following behind: "..."

She was ready to carry the princess upstairs, but the princess didn't want her.

Huo Xu was slightly stunned, and then he said quickly, "Okay, sure."

Then, Huo Xu slowly picked up Li Qingyi with stiff hands and feet, and was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Not until Li Qingyi was put on the carriage did Huo Xu suddenly breathe a sigh of relief and even let out a sigh.

Huo Xu: “…”

Huo Xu's face turned red all of a sudden.

Li Qingyi blinked, blinked again, and then showed a bright smile: "Thank you, cousin."

Huo Xu subconsciously smiled back and said with some hesitation: "You're welcome."

Fang Xin: “…”

Ah, your Majesty's nephew... is quite fresh and young.

Huo Xu: Aba Aba.

Seeing that no one was making fun of him for his behavior just now, Huo Xu also relaxed and said to Li Qingyi: "Your Highness, please sit in the carriage for a while. The Princess's Mansion is not far away and we will be there soon."

"If you feel bored, there are some food in the cabinet over here. They were all brought out from the mansion of Duke Cheng'en. You can have a taste."

"There are a few books in the cabinet over here...ah, if your Highness is not interested, there are also some small things prepared here."

Huo Xu was halfway through his speech when he looked at Li Qingyi's chubby little face and realized that the little princess in front of him was still a baby, so he immediately changed the subject.

Li Qingyi curiously reached out his hand and followed Fang Xin who was getting on the car to stop him, "Your Highness, this kind of pull handle may get your fingers stuck, please don't do this."

Huo Xu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

Oops, I didn’t take this into consideration when I was preparing the carriage!

Fortunately, the aunt was with the Eleventh Princess. If she hadn't been careful, and the Eleventh Princess' finger had been stuck in the carriage and injured...

Li Qingyi blinked, stretched out his other hand, grabbed the handle, pulled it, and released it. His movements were so fast that Fang Xin couldn't stop him.

She looked at Fang Xin and said innocently, "But Aunt Fang Xin, I'm not that stupid."

She's not really a three-year-old baby who would get stuck by some inexplicable things.

Fang Xin: "...Yes, your Highness is smart, it is I who was inconsiderate."

Huo Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Huo Xu thought to himself: "I have to ask someone to make a batch of handles specifically for the little prince of this age."

After this little episode, Huo Xu did not stay in the carriage, but got out of the carriage, climbed onto the horse, and said to Li Qingyi who had stuck his head out, "Your Highness, let's set off."

Li Qingyi exclaimed in his heart, and felt that the young man's smooth movements were so handsome and compelling.

Li Qingyi: "Okay!"

After returning to the carriage and sitting down, Li Qingyi: [Hahaha, system, my cousin is so cute, right? ]

Huo Xu's body stiffened.

System: [Well, Huo Xu has melons, 10 energy, do you want to eat it? ]

Huo Xu:?
