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

There was a precedent for conversations between mother and daughter, and the Queen did not hide it from Li Qingyi. Besides, what happened yesterday was originally related to this little girl, but it was not easy to say it directly.

Queen: "I will only tell you this, don't tell anyone else."

Li Qingyi talked a lot with the Queen, but she was very sensible at a young age and never told others what the Queen said to her in private. She also showed her clever side very early on, and others could not get any information out of her.

So the Queen's words were just a formality. In fact, she was not worried that Li Qingyi would spread rumors everywhere.

Li Qingyi looked at the queen curiously: "Mother, please tell me."

She guessed that the reason why the prince was left in the Qianqing Palace last night was probably related to Li Qi's matter. Although the system had already said some things, the queen might not know less information than the system.

The Queen: "Your second brother... you may not have this second brother anymore. Your father discovered that he had committed a rebellious act and has now been imprisoned. Concubine Liu has also been taken in for questioning. This is a very serious matter."

"Your brother, the Crown Prince, is helping your father deal with state affairs. Your father will personally investigate your second brother's case. Be good these days and don't make your father angry. He will be very upset."

"If you are free, you can spend some time with him."

The Queen said this while observing her daughter's expression.

However, she didn't hold out much hope.

My daughter showed her intelligence very early on, but she also showed a personality that was clearly different from other children of her age - calmness.

Maybe he is just too smart, so it is hard to tease him.

Sure enough, Li Qingyi didn't have any obvious expression on his face at this moment. Instead, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that the Queen had no intention of telling her about Li Qi's background, Li Qingyi thought about it and understood.

Although the Queen was willing to tell her many things, she would not whisper to a baby like her about matters involving the privacy of her elders.

Since he had promised the Queen to comfort the Emperor, Li Qingyi stayed beside the Queen for a while. When he saw that the Queen was about to start handling palace affairs again, he stood up and said, "Father should be leaving the court soon. Then, Mother, I will go to see Father."

Hearing this, the Queen raised her head and looked at Fang Xin beside her, smiling gently: "Go, let Aunt Fang Xin take you there."

Li Qingyi nodded obediently.

The three-year-old girl is cute and well-behaved, and is dressed up beautifully. Just looking at her makes people feel soft in their hearts, and they can't wait to hug her in their arms, give her a kiss, and pinch her little face.

As Li Qingyi's biological mother, the Queen naturally liked her even more. She stood up, walked to Li Qingyi and squatted down, gently rubbed Li Qingyi's little face which was still chubby, and personally tidied her clothes. Only then did she let Fang Xin take people out of Kunning Palace.

Fang Xin thought that this was no different from the past. Li Qingyi was favored and the emperor would carry her directly to court. It was not uncommon for her to hang around the Qianqing Palace from time to time.

But Fang Xin forgot that the current Li Qingyi is not the same Li Qingyi as before. Now she is Li Qingyi, the carrier of the melon-eating system.

Li Qingyi felt bored halfway through the journey and pulled Xiao Ba out: [Xiao Ba, do you have any cheap melons that are a little more interesting?]

System 88: [Host, which kind of melon do you think is interesting? ]

Li Qingyi: [Not so routine, I can't guess the direction? ]

At the same time when Li Qingyi's thoughts appeared, Fang Xin's originally relaxed expression with a hint of smile suddenly changed, and she turned around and looked around.

A palace maid who was following the team silently met Fang Xin's gaze and nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay.

Fang Xin recognized that the palace maid was the one who was transferred from the Qianqing Palace after the emperor left yesterday. Last night, she directly replaced the position of a third-class maid beside Li Qingyi. Now it seems that the emperor must have specially arranged her to be with the little princess.

As for the effect...

Fang Xin stood high and could see far, and soon she saw some palace maids in the distance being taken away quietly, while the palace maids who were nearby, as long as they were not in Li Qingyi's sight, were replaced quietly.

The action was so fast that Fang Xin wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The person involved, Li Qingyi, was completely unaware of the changes around her. She held Fang Xin's hand and listened to System 88 reading out the list of gourmet dishes that she could currently pay to watch.

System: [I just updated it. In the latest list, sorted by price, the first melon is from a eunuch named Sun in the Imperial Garden. It’s very cheap and you can see it for 1 energy.]

[The second one is the melon of Chunxi, the maid in the Flower and Bird Room, which also has 1 energy.]

[The third one is the melon of the maidservant beside Concubine De of Yonghe Palace. It is a bit more expensive and costs 5 energy.]

Li Qingyi: [These don’t sound very delicious. ]

The system chuckled and said, [Eating small melons is good for your mood.]

Li Qingyi thought about it and felt that she was not very interested in the melons in the Imperial Garden and the Flower and Bird Room. However, when she heard about Concubine De of Yonghe Palace, her DNA moved.

Although she knew that the Yonghe Palace here was definitely different from the one she read in the fan fiction, and she had also seen this Defei, and she was not the same Defei as the one who gave birth to the Fourth Master, but the sense of déjà vu when they were combined together was too strong.

I didn’t think too much about it before, but now when I listen to it, I always feel it’s very weird.

System 88 didn't know what Li Qingyi was thinking, so he muttered: "This Li Qi melon can make you eat dozens of small melons. Maybe if you're lucky, these small melons can be connected in series, and then it will become a big melon, right?"

System: [Your current balance is 97.5. It looks uncomfortable to have this extra decimal point. Why not spend it? ]

Li Qingyi originally wanted to hear what the maid of Yonghe Palace had to say, but when she heard what the system said, she became rebellious and snorted in her heart: [I won’t!]

Just at this time, the Qianqing Palace was almost there. Li Qingyi asked Xiao Ba to go aside. Seeing that the gate of the Qianqing Palace was already within sight, he let go of Aunt Fangxin's hand and ran over with small steps.

The guards at the gate of the Qianqing Palace heard the conversation between Li Qingyi and the system from a distance and had been warned by the emperor. Now seeing the little princess appearing cutely in front of everyone, they all tried to maintain their composure.

Eunuch Huang was already standing guard at the door. When he saw Li Qingyi, he uttered a cry, bent down, and said to Li Qingyi with a smile, "Your Highness, the Emperor just heard the news and was very happy to know that you were coming. He asked the tea room to prepare your favorite tea and snacks for you. Please come in, the Emperor is waiting for you."
