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

The room fell into deathly silence for a moment.

The emperor stood up suddenly, "What are you standing there for? Help your master up!"

The one who moved the fastest was Huang Kang, who was the closest at the moment. He rushed over and helped Li Qingyi up from the ground. He observed with fear and trepidation while repeatedly asking, "Hey, little prince, where did you fall?"

The emperor also walked around the table, waved his hand to ask for the imperial physician, and squatted down to inquire about Li Qingyi's condition without caring whether his clothes would get dirty.

To be honest, Li Qingyi was a little confused.

It didn't hurt, probably because of her short stature and low height. Although there was no carpet in the imperial study due to the hot weather, she didn't feel much pain except that she felt a little dizzy from the fall.

Just a little confused.

Since she was born, except for the time when she was just learning to walk, she would fall from time to time because she could not control her body perfectly, and she has never fallen since then.

As someone who is essentially an adult soul, wrestling is somewhat... a rather shameful thing.

However, Li Qingyi didn't burst into tears over such a small matter. After being stunned for a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

After a pause, a faint blush appeared on Li Qingyi's face, and he repeated: "Father, I am fine."

Then, as if to divert everyone's attention, she stuffed the flowers she had been holding into the emperor's arms: "Father, look, the flowers are not broken."

The emperor said: "We should ask the imperial physician to come and take a look, and also ask someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to look for..."

Li Qingyi quickly stopped the emperor from calling for help. She was not opposed to asking the imperial physician to check on her. After all, she attached great importance to her health.

However, the imperial physician was on duty near the Qianqing Palace and was specifically responsible for the emperor's health, so it would not make much of a fuss if he was called over.

But if she hurriedly sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to call for help, it would cause a lot of noise. If someone was curious and asked about it, wouldn't everyone know that she had fallen in the Imperial Study today?

That's not okay.

The emperor tried to persuade his little daughter a few times, but seeing that his little daughter refused to call the imperial physician, he decided to just ask the imperial physician to help take a look. Then, seeing that there was indeed no change in her complexion, he finally agreed to her wish.

It was only Li Qingyi who could refuse the emperor's arrangements again and again. If someone else were here, they would be considered courageous if they could refuse once, so how could they refuse all the time?

Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.

This sentence is not just a joke in this era.

The imperial physician rushed over, thinking that something had happened to the emperor. When he found that the little princess had just fallen, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was once again impressed by the favor enjoyed by the little princess.

Although it was just a small matter, the imperial physician still helped to check it out very carefully. After confirming that Li Qingyi had just bumped his knee and had some bruises, and there were no other problems, he was completely relieved.

The emperor felt a little distressed and held Li Qingyi in his arms, but he didn't know what to do. After all, Li Qingyi was too young and it was not convenient to massage him.

In order to cover up the matter as quickly as possible, Li Qingyi told the emperor about what happened in the Princess's Mansion as soon as the emperor held her down and sat her down.

The emperor listened carefully and asked, "Yier, do you want me to help you punish the parasites in the Princess's mansion?"

Li Qingyi blinked when he heard this: "Will direct punishment be useful?"

Emperor: "Yes, but you have to know that oftentimes, when subordinates take advantage of others' work, the superiors may not be aware of it, but just turn a blind eye."

"...But they get paid every month, right? It's not like they're working for nothing."

The emperor said calmly: "Well, but the world is bustling with people, all for profit. If they don't get any benefits, they may not do their job with all their heart."

“Many times, whether you put your heart into something or not makes a big difference.”

Li Qingyi: "..."

Li Qingyi doesn't like this kind of argument.

But she had to admit that, at least in the current environment, the emperor was right.

Li Qingyi: "Then, what if we increase their monthly salary?"

Emperor: "The monthly salary of the Princess's Mansion should not be low."

Li Qingyi was silent for a while, then said: "In this case, it means they are greedy and it is their fault."

Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Well, Yi'er is right. But for most people, if they can just spend a little more money to make their subordinates do their jobs honestly, then it is worthwhile."

Li Qingyi was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be impossible to punish the corrupt officials under your command, Father?"

emperor:"……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Huang Kang and Fang Xin, who were standing behind the two men, subconsciously tensed their bodies at the same time, and their scalps began to feel numb.

My God, Your Highness, you can’t just say that casually!

If the emperor were to take it seriously, your Highness would be considered interfering in state affairs!

The other palace servants also lowered their heads and held their breath, fearing that they would be noticed by the emperor.

The person involved, Li Qingyi, seemed not to feel the change in the atmosphere at all, and continued: "I don't understand officialdom. I only know that if the people in my palace need anything, they can ask me, and it should be my decision whether to give it or not, instead of them just reaching out to take it."

"That's my stuff, not theirs."

Li Qingyi endured it and finally did not use the national treasury as an example at this time.

The emperor looked at her quietly for a while, and the imperial study was quiet for a long time.

Just when everyone thought the emperor was going to be angry, he suddenly laughed and rubbed Li Qingyi's head with his big hand, "Okay, you're right!"

Li Qingyi: “……?”

Okay, I don’t understand, but as long as you are happy.

Finally, the emperor said that he would mention the matter to the eldest princess, but this matter was, after all, the eldest princess's own business. If the eldest princess herself did not want to get involved, even the emperor could not interfere too much.

Li Qingyi expressed his understanding of this.

In this case, if the eldest princess really doesn't want to care, Li Zhu might feel a little uncomfortable.

For Li Zhu, this might be like living in a house full of cockroaches. He knows there are cockroaches in the house, but he cannot take effective measures against them.

Although it’s not impossible to pass, it’s just psychologically uncomfortable.

At this time, the emperor asked again: "Yier, do you have anything else to ask me?"

Li Qingyi, who originally didn't intend to talk about the accounts, let out a soft "ah" and blinked his eyes.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and an idea flashed through Li Qingyi's mind, but facing the emperor, she still told him what she had agreed with Li Zhu.

The emperor smiled and agreed directly, but it was not the accounts of Kunning Palace, but the accounts of his private treasury.

Li Qingyi: ...My boy, whether you can seize the opportunity depends on you.

As soon as he left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Li Qingyi asked the system: [Are there any melons of my father? ]

emperor:……
