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

Li Qingyi couldn't help but smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth. When she looked up, she saw Fang Xin seemed to have heard the noise, so she lifted the curtain and looked inside. Seeing that she was awake, she smiled gently, "Little Prince, are you going to get up?"

Li Qingyi quickly signaled to the system: [Tell me the rest later. I'll wash up and have breakfast first.]

System: [Okay! 】

Fang Xin smiled, as if she didn't notice anything. After seeing Li Qingyi nod, she took the palace servants to help Li Qingyi get up, wash, and eat.

Today, the concubines in the harem will come to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the Queen. At times like this, Li Qingyi would not go forward and would just eat by herself in her own area.

Except during the Chinese New Year, the princes and princesses in the harem are not required to pay their respects to the queen on weekdays. They can come if they want to, or not come if they don't want to. Only concubines have fixed days to pay their respects.

At least so far, Li Qingyi feels that the atmosphere in the harem is relatively free, and her mother is not the kind of person who keeps everything in her hands.

After dinner, Li Qingyi asked the palace servants to move tables and chairs to the corridor and served tea and snacks. She sat there, seemingly in a daze, but actually eating watermelon.

Li Qingyi: [Come on, continue, let me see why the price of this melon has increased. ]

System: [Here it comes! ]

Everyone around, both openly and secretly, pricked up their ears, waiting to hear what other wonderful things this melon had.

System: [By the way, another reason why the Fifth Prince wants to cultivate is because he feels that he has a strong affinity with me, because there is also an "ear" in his name. The Fifth Prince's name is Li Cong.]

Li Qingyi: [Wait a minute.]

System: [Ah?]

Li Qingyi fell into deep thought.

What's wrong with this?

This problem is very obvious!

In Li Qingyi's impression, naming multiple brothers in this ancient environment should follow a rule.

For example, the sons of Emperor Kangxi, Yinzhi, Yinreng, Yinzhi, Yinzhen... the pattern is very obvious.

For example, Song Taizu's sons, Zhao Dexiu, Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Delin, Zhao Defang...

But Li Qingyi couldn't remember for a moment, how could the two words pronounced as qi and cong have the same radical?

Could it be that there are some words that she has never seen in modern times but are still used in this era?

System: [Host, are you worried about the names of your brothers? ]

Li Qingyi: [A little bit.]

System: [Well, don't worry about it. After all, except for the Crown Prince, whose name was chosen by Taizu, the names of the other princes were all chosen by your father by drawing lots.]

Li Qingyi: [……]

Everyone:...

Ah...this.

Is this something they could know?

Li Qingyi was silent for a long time before he slowly asked: [This...isn't considered a melon?]

Just tell her for free?

The system suddenly stopped moving.

Li Qingyi: [System?]

The system made a sharp bang.

System: [Ahhhh! I forgot! Woohoo, this is the melon I secretly bought with my little treasury, I forgot that you, the host, don’t know, woohoo, I just violated the rules and got deducted money, woohoo——]

Li Qingyi: ...

Li Qingyi: [Shut up.]

It made her brain go crazy!

The system sobbed: [Wuwuwu Host, I can't help it, wuwuwu The fine is twice the original price. My small treasury is not rich to begin with, and now it's even worse wuwuwuwu...]

So the system was silent just now, was it checking some background records?

Li Qingyi was also speechless at the system's operation. The key point was that this kind of information did not have much value except for making her further realize how casual her father was as an emperor and how much of a "daddy" he was to several princes.

Compared to this, Li Qingyi was more concerned about another point: [The fine is deducted from your account, right? ]

She was just an innocent host. If the system was fined because of its own laxity, Li Qingyi would want to drag the system out and beat it up.

There isn't much balance in her piggy bank!

The system sobbed: [Well, it was because I accidentally violated the rules. ]

His voice was that of a young child, and now he was sobbing, which sounded particularly pitiful.

System: [Wuwuwu, if I had known I would not have secretly eaten melons, wuwuwu...]

Li Qingyi narrowed his eyes and thought, "It turns out that the system has to pay for eating melons."

It seems that System 88 and the intelligence library are not together. The plan that I had thought of trying to find a loophole when I had time is no longer feasible.

The system cried and said: [Wuwuwu, I will never eat melons secretly again. I will eat whatever the host eats, wuwuwu...]

Li Qingyi put away his little thoughts, and seeing the system crying sadly, he finally comforted it with a sentence: [Don't cry, at worst I will try to earn more merits in the future, buy more melons, and your small treasury will have money. ]

System: [Woo...Host, you have to work harder! ]

Li Qingyi: [Okay.]

Then, in order to stop the system from crying, Li Qingyi decisively changed the subject and brought up the matter of the fifth prince again.

The system's voice still had a nasal tone, but it continued to talk about what happened last night: [Anyway, because of this name, the fifth prince felt that he had a strong affinity with me, and even asked a Taoist priest if he could be my reincarnation.]

Li Qingyi was speechless: [What a shame. ]

System: [Then the Taoist priest said honestly, no.]

Li Qingyi: Phew.

Palace maid: Hold it in, don’t laugh, he is the master!

System: [The Fifth Prince doesn’t believe it, because he thinks he has memorized the Tao Te Ching very well.]

Li Qingyi's comment: [If we follow the saying that "I am the incarnation of Taishang Laojun", does he think that he is Taishang Laojun? What a bold thought. Fortunately, he didn't say it directly, otherwise my father would let him know why the flowers are so red.]

System: [Then he shouldn’t be that stupid. He just wants to cultivate immortality, not to seek death.]

System: [After the emperor learned about the fifth prince's ambitions from the fifth prince and the Taoist priest, he was furious and had his residence searched. As a result, not only did they find various Taoist books, but they also found various alchemy recipes that the fifth prince had the Taoist priest collect. Then, there was the layout of the prince's residence that the fifth prince had secretly planned for his own future residence. On it, there was a clear area for alchemy.]

[When the emperor saw the picture, he was furious. Concubine Shu had just received the news and rushed over. Seeing that the emperor was so angry that he was about to beat someone up, Concubine Shu began to plead for the Fifth Prince, saying that the Fifth Prince had always been the most filial to the emperor and would definitely not deliberately make the emperor angry.]

[The emperor was so angry that he cursed: "Yes, he is filial! He is so filial that he wants to be my father!]

Li Qingyi: “Pfft.”

Unable to hold back, he laughed out loud. Li Qingyi subconsciously turned his head and looked around. After finding that no one seemed to notice what he was doing, he picked up the honey water on the table and took a sip, hiding the uncontrollable upward curve of the corners of his lips.

Although I guessed that her father must be very angry, but...

puff.
