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

After Li Qingyi finished speaking, he thought of what happened before and asked the system: [That's not right. Didn't we raid the home of a corrupt official before? Add in the people who colluded with Liu Yankang, so we can at least fill up the national treasury, right? Why are you still crying poor? ]

The emperor pursed his lips.

The system did explain to the emperor and the officials: [A lot of property was seized during the confiscation, but the court has many places to spend money right now.]

System: [No one really took the money from before this time. Part of it was used for disaster relief, and part of it was exchanged for food and shipped to the border as military rations. This is just to fill a hole.]

[Oh, they can hardly afford to pay their salaries, but it shouldn’t matter. After all, during the Da Ning Dynasty, officials would work without salary every few years, and the salary would be repaid later.]

Li Qingyi: […How did you become so poor? ]

When the officials heard this, they also wanted to cry: Yes, how could we be so poor!

Li Qingyi: [Huh? Why are they not talking? ]

Seeing his beloved daughter open her eyes and curiously getting up to see what was going on, the emperor naturally took his daughter into his arms and glared at the people below: What are you standing there for!

All the officials reacted, quickly calmed down, and pushed one person out from the middle to continue the report.

What is strange is that the official who was pushed out this time said nothing about what they had discussed before. He was actually impeaching a book of stories.

When the emperor heard about the storybook, he subconsciously thought of the special storybook he had someone send to the fifth prince. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still asked, "What storybook is necessary to bring out and talk about during the morning court?"

The meaning is very clear. If you don't explain everything clearly and bring up such a trivial matter in the morning court, you will bear the consequences.

Li Qingyi was also puzzled: [Why would I be impeached for writing a storybook? ]

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he was worried that Li Qingyi would talk about the fifth prince's storybook in front of so many people. He subconsciously reached out and pinched Li Qingyi's face to interrupt the spell.

Li Qingyi felt his cheeks lift slightly. He blinked and looked at his father who was so close to him. The next second, he reached out and grabbed his beard.

emperor:……

Li Qingyi looked back innocently.

Huang Kang watched this scene of "loving father and filial daughter" from the side, took a deep breath in his heart, and quickly lowered his head.

Li Qingyi was really pulling the tiger's whiskers.

The officials below generally did not dare to look up and gaze directly at the emperor, so no one noticed the little movements of the two people above.

The official continued talking, and finally said that he had someone bring a copy of the book.

By the way, the reason why the other party impeached this storybook was because he felt that the content of this storybook was alluding to the imperial court of the Daning Dynasty, and was a manifestation of disrespect for the imperial court and the emperor, and that the writer of this storybook should be severely punished.

Li Qingyi didn't loosen his grip when he heard this, but his mind went to chat with the system: [I thought it was something else, this is nothing, don't all kinds of things happen in every dynasty? Sometimes historians have to speculate on the changes in the situation at that time by studying novels and operas in the context of the time. They didn't mention any names, so ordinary people just watched it for fun and didn't think too much about it. ]

System: [Wait, wait, host, something is wrong. ]

Li Qingyi: [Hmm?]

System: [Just now the background prompts that there is melon in here! And it is not expensive, 200 energy. ]

Li Qingyi was silent for a few seconds and asked: [What is my account balance today? ]

System: [388.4 merits, eh, there was an account of 88 merits this morning, let me see... Oh, it's still about the textile machine in Jiangnan. The court received news that someone improved the textile machine. The emperor is very well-informed. After knowing that the source is related to you, he directly sent someone to Jiangnan with rewards and imperial edicts.]

[The new loom is now named Qingyi Loom. It’s named after you! ]

[The imperial edict arrived yesterday, and the news spread throughout Jiangnan overnight. The Weaver Girl prayed for you and is sincerely grateful to you, so you have received another wave of merit this time.]

The system is delighted: [Host, host, once the new textile machine is popularized, you will have a steady stream of merits to earn! ]

Li Qingyi remained silent for some reason.

The emperor was a little surprised, but when he heard that Li Qingyi had won the gratitude of the weaver girls, he felt much better.

Since he knew the role his daughter played in all this, he naturally didn't want his daughter's contribution to be replaced by others, and he must give his daughter a fair name.

As for whether other people would think that the emperor was trying to take credit for Li Qingyi... haha, if the emperor cared about the opinions of so many people, he would not be able to sit firmly in this position.

However, the emperor thought Li Qingyi would be very happy, but he didn't expect that when he lowered his head, he saw the little girl frowning slightly.

Just when the emperor couldn't help but ask, Li Qingyi loosened his hand that was holding his beard, leaned into the emperor's arms, closed his eyes as if he was going to sleep again, and said to the system in his heart: [Oh my god, why did you use my name to name it? Huh? What does this have to do with me? Even if you have to use a person's name, you should use the name of the Weaver Girl who took action at the beginning! ]

System: [Uh, host, are you shy? ]

Li Qingyi: [No, I feel like I am taking away other people’s credit! I just talked a lot, but it was the Weaver Girl who really brought things to reality!]

System: […But the Weaver Girl also received a reward. She was given the title of County Lady, and…the name of the loom was given by her.]

Therefore, the biggest contributor felt that the new textile machine she modified should be named after the princess, not herself.

This was not arranged by the emperor out of personal motives.

Li Qingyi: […I thank her! ]

The system is happy: [Yeah, I thank her too! ]

Li Qingyi: No, you don’t understand at all. For me, this way of naming is so shameful!

Li Qingyi: Change the subject!

Li Qingyi: [Eat melon, eat melon. Didn’t you just say there was melon? Eat! ]

System: [Okay! ~]

The eyes of all the officials, who seemed to be attending court seriously but were actually listening with their ears perked up to see what was going on, lit up.

System: [Let me see... Oh, that person just now was bribed. The writer had a falling out with her stepmother, so she moved out alone and made a living by writing storybooks. Her grades were pretty good. Her stepmother and stepsons were jealous of her wealth, and they were afraid that she would discover their secret and send them all to jail, so they secretly bribed the people in the local county government to arrest her and execute her.]

System: [Wait, host! There's something wrong with this person! Why is the overlap rate between her storybook and the world line so high! ]

System: [Ahhh, my backend has alerted the police! ]

Li Qingyi: [System?]
