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

If she was really so innocent, did the little maid really have no chance to explain herself in half a month?

Even though this matter was different from what everyone imagined, the little maid just happened to pick up a jade pendant belonging to Huo Xu. For those servants, this was considered a small achievement rather than a mistake. Would she be treated badly if she explained it clearly?

will not.

Moreover, in a family like the Cheng'en Mansion, with such rumors about love affairs, unless the master being criticized is somewhat unruly and has caused similar rumors, who would think in that direction without anyone to guide them?

Li Qingyi didn't believe that the little maid was completely innocent and had no ulterior motives, and was just being misunderstood by others.

Therefore, Li Qingyi had no intention of being kind to this little maid. She just ate the melon and listened to it. She was not interested in how things would develop next.

Li Qingyi: [It's true that there is a reason why it's cheap. Next time, don't call me for this kind of meaningless melon. It's a waste of my merits. ]

System: […How can you say it’s meaningless? You can mention it to your cousin to prevent him from being tricked by others.]

Li Qingyi rolled her eyes in her heart: [Are you stupid? ]

System: [Ah? Host, did I say something wrong? ]

Although he couldn't see the main body of the system, after hearing what he said, Li Qingyi felt that the system was stupid.

Li Qingyi: [How do you want me to tell my cousin? I haven't even been to Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and I knew in the palace that he had an affair with a little maid? ]

[Don’t say I’m only three years old. Even if I were thirteen or twenty-three, I still wouldn’t be able to say this.]

[What would people think if I told them? I'm fine, why would I care about my cousin's affairs? Don't you know that it's easy for cousins ​​to get into trouble at this time?]

【Avoid suspicion, do you understand? 】

Li Qingyi said, speechless in his heart: "Besides, this system, is it because of my behavior some time ago that I misunderstood something?"

Is she the kind of person who, upon hearing something, rushes to find the person involved to solve the problem?

It depends on the situation.

Take the incident with the eldest princess as an example. If Liu Yinzhu was not actually her student, Li Qingyi would have probably just stood by and watched even if she knew her background - she still had to rely on the protection of the emperor and empress, and she would not have the time to create trouble for herself.

Before interfering in other people's affairs, first make sure whether you have the ability to do so, instead of rushing in out of so-called "enthusiasm" or "good intentions" without considering the consequences.

Li Qingyi did say that she was not worried about having a lot of debts, and it didn't matter if she created a fairy-like persona for herself, but... she should keep a low profile if possible. Before she truly mastered the ability to protect herself, there was no need to cause herself too much trouble.

So maybe she really intended to eat this melon and then move on.

It's not like Huo Xu is going to be poisoned and murdered, and it won't cause any big trouble. He might be dealt with internally without even being able to leave the Cheng'en Mansion. Is it necessary for her to be so kind?

System: […Oh, okay. I see that you seem to like your cousin very much, and I thought you would find a way to remind him.]

Li Qingyi: [Is it necessary for a three-year-old to remind you of such a small matter? My cousin is really stupid. ]

Huo Xu, who had been listening all the way, said: "..."

Huo Xu looked around, mainly at the guards who were accompanying him for protection, and found that they were all avoiding his sight intentionally or unintentionally.

Huo Xu: ...

have to.

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

It seems that they all heard the sound just now.

At this time Huo Xu was very fortunate, because when the system spoke just now, they were walking on the main road that ordinary people basically would not come. It happened that there were not many people on this road at this time, so... uh, it was good news.

At least not more people heard about that gossip about him.

Although Huo Xu felt doubtful and unhappy after hearing what the system said, after all, he suddenly had a "dream person" for no apparent reason. If the system didn't tell him, he wouldn't know when he would know about it, so he would be somewhat unhappy.

Huo Xu actually wanted to ask the person who was speaking directly, who was the little maid that the other person was talking about?

But Huo Xu still remembered that before he left, his father, brother and mother gave him special advice, asking him to do more and talk less, and not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask.

He felt it was strange at the time, but now Huo Xu has somewhat understood it.

Soon, as the route changed, Li Qingyi noticed that the outside of the carriage was gradually becoming lively. He immediately put aside the system, moved to the window with his little arms and legs, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

As a result, he happened to see Huo Xu, who was following the carriage, turning his head to look at him, and the two of them looked at each other.

Huo Xu: "If your highness is curious, we can go for a walk on the street after we come out of the Princess's Mansion."

Li Qingyi blinked: "Oh, okay."

After saying that, she silently put down her hand and retracted it.

Fang Xin felt a little strange: "What's wrong with the little prince?"

Li Qingyi touched his soft chin with his little paw and asked Fang Xin, "My cousin seems to be in a bad mood?"

Fang Xin thought about what Li Qingyi had just said to the system about Young Master Huo. Well, Young Master Huo must have heard it, so it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

but……

Fang Xin: "Master Huo, do you look unhappy?"

Did Huo Xu give the little princess a cold shoulder?

Just now, Li Qingyi only opened a small gap, which was not enough for Fang Xin to see Huo Xu's expression outside the car, but she felt a little unhappy just thinking about this possibility - can you give the little princess a cold shoulder?

Li Qingyi didn't know the thoughts of Fang Xin that were protective of her son, so she shook her head and said, "Not really, my cousin's smile is pretty nice, but I feel like he's not as happy as before."

So, Li Qingyi thought about it and decided not to continue watching the fun, but to step back.

Li Qingyi had a good impression of Huo Xu. It was a bit embarrassing for him to smile in front of her even though he was in a bad mood.

Li Qingyi thought to herself, "I am really considerate."

Fang Xin thought that Li Qingyi was always smart. If Huo Xu didn't show any emotions on his face but was noticed by Li Qingyi, it would not be a surprising thing.

So Fang Xin said, "Maybe the young master just thought of something unhappy."

Li Qingyi nodded: "It's possible."

It certainly wasn't because of her.

Huo Xu was right next to the carriage window. The soundproofing of the carriage was limited and he was close. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had sharp senses, so he naturally heard the conversation between Li Qingyi and Fang Xin. He immediately found it... funny.

but……

Huo Xu seemed to be thinking: "Mother said that the eleventh princess is smart. I thought it was just a polite remark before, but I didn't expect it to be wrong?"

Putting aside other things, this sensitivity...is it because children are more sensitive to emotions?
