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

Li Qingyi really wanted to know what was going on. After all, she felt that she had become enemies with the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu.

If she could find out, even though she was too young to do anything, she would at least know whether the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu would be in trouble, right?

If they really got into trouble, at least Li Qingyi would feel much better psychologically.

As for revenge... isn't there a saying that goes "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge"?

In terms of age, she has a big advantage.

However, this idea is only a psychological comfort for Li Qingyi, at least for now. If a grudge can be avenged on the spot, who would be willing to wait for ten years!

In this anxious and curious state of mind, Li Qingyi felt that time had become very long - she was waiting for the system to be updated so that she could ask him immediately.

Because she was absent-minded, Li Qingyi didn't even pay attention to what the Queen said next, or she heard it but didn't take it to heart. Anyway, even if there was anything, Fang Xin would remind her, so it didn't matter.

Finally, it was night. As Li Qingyi waited anxiously and expectantly, the inorganic female voice sounded in her mind again:

【Update package loading completed. 】

【Update completed.】

[Data loading——]

【Loading completed.】

【welcome……】

Before the female voice finished, a familiar child's voice sounded in Li Qingyi's mind: [Ahhh, host, I'm back! Host, did you miss me? ]

Li Qingyi's attention was immediately drawn, and he didn't notice what the female voice said afterwards. A smile appeared on his face unconsciously: [Xiao Ba, are you okay? ]

System: [It's all right, it's just a small accident. After the alarm was triggered, the background refresh was found to have some problems with the data flow, so it was forced to update. ]

Li Qingyi: [What happened? In the morning you suddenly said something was wrong, and then nothing happened. Is there something wrong? ]

When this was mentioned, the system became excited: [Yes, I still want to tell you about this, host. Host, did you know? It turns out that your world is derived from a novel! ]

Li Qingyi: ...

After a few breaths, Li Qingyi slowly said: [No wonder.]

System: [Eh? Host, aren't you shocked? I was really surprised when I saw this! After all, I hadn't noticed it before. If I had known it was a spin-off of a novel, I would have paid more attention to the protagonist.]

[After all, if we were to say who has the most gossips around him, it would definitely be the protagonist! ]

Li Qingyi had a subtle expression: [How should I put it? I am surprised, but when I think about Daning's situation, I feel it is understandable.]

After all, in the history she had learned, there was no such dynasty as Daning.

And there was her grandfather, whose operations seemed like a divine soldier sent from heaven. Although Li Qingyi also hoped that there would really be such a person in that dynasty who could save the country from danger, the reality was just as she had seen in history books, and as a descendant, she was powerless.

Li Qingyi: [If it is a derivative, then this world is still different from the real world of the novel, right? ]

[Of course.] The system gave a fairly positive answer: [Novels are just words after all. Novel derivatives mean that there is a certain overlap between the world line and the novel plot, but the novel plot is already written, but the real world has no fixed plot, and a small change may lead to a huge change.]

[So, although it is a derivative of the novel, everyone's destiny is still determined by themselves. Even if you are the protagonist, at most your luck is slightly better than others, but you still have to rely on your own efforts. ]

There is no such thing as the protagonist's halo.

The real world is that when people are killed, they die.

So is the protagonist.

Hearing this, Li Qingyi also breathed a sigh of relief: [That's good. ]

System: [Hey? Host, what were you worried about just now? ]

Li Qingyi thought about it and explained: [I am just afraid that if there is really a protagonist, it would be fine if it is my family, but if it is one of my brothers, then my brother, the prince, would naturally be in the villain camp, right? ]

System: [Ah, if you put it that way, it is true. ]

Li Qingyi: [Then do you know who the protagonist is? ]

The system was silent for a while before it said with a guilty conscience: [I don’t know.]

Li Qingyi was silent for a while, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Li Qingyi asked again: [What did you update? ]

Even the protagonist doesn’t know, it’s impossible that he just updated a line saying [This world is derived from a novel], right?

The system is excited again: [Oh, yes, host, I updated a new function! A new function that you will definitely be interested in! ]

[Clang clang clang! Look! The melon-eating map! ]

[Only 998, only 998, take the melon map home! This is a discounted price! The original price is 1000! ]

Li Qingyi pointed out the core issue: [Is the 998 you mentioned merit or energy? ]

System: [Ahem, um, this map is a one-time purchase. Once you buy it, you can use it for life, so... it's a good deed.]

Li Qingyi: [Do you think I have so many merits? ]

The system is guilty.

System: [But I looked at this map and it is really useful. After purchasing, you can directly see what melons are available in each place on the map, and you can also intuitively see the size of each melon. If you purchase additional services, you can also clearly see the connection between the corresponding characters before buying the melon.]

[Oh yeah, you can also expand the map by buying melons! You can totally play it as a game! ]

Li Qingyi: [But I can’t afford it. ]

System: […That’s right.]

Li Qingyi thought that this was the content of this update. Although a flash of inspiration came to Li Qingyi's mind after hearing the system's description, the reality was that she really couldn't afford it, so this so-called melon-eating map had to be put on hold.

Just when Li Qingyi wanted to ask about the Fifth Prince, the system immediately mentioned a new update: [Forget it, let's put the melon map aside for now. I also updated a new function this time, which is the compensation from the Spacetime Bureau. ]

Li Qingyi: ...

This space-time bureau always seemed to be compensating her. Although she had received benefits, she still wanted to say: Couldn't they have avoided making mistakes in the first place?

System: [The new function of compensation is——clang clang! Eat melons and punch in! ]

Li Qingyi: [Is it free to check in? ]

System: [Uh... No, the host still has to pay for it himself, but after punching in for a certain period of time, there will be a discount, and the discount will increase as the punching date increases. For example, if the host eats a melon every day, after seven days, the melon map can be discounted by 20%! ]

Li Qingyi decisively complained: [This is just a scam! ]
