Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

He Yin, soap slices, what are those?

The young man hadn't even figured out who she was, and now a beautiful lady had appeared?

It's plagiarism, or it's not plagiarism, so what exactly is it?

In short, Li Shimin's mind was buzzing, and he didn't know how to continue asking the question.

If he asked, he wouldn't understand anything Si Zi was saying; if he didn't ask, this sudden revelation would keep him up at night.

"Father, Mother, Sizi must be tired after playing outside for so long. Let her rest for a while. We can talk about other things later."

Li Lizhi was exceptionally intelligent and could naturally see her parents' worries.

At this moment, he stepped forward, smiling, and gave the two of them a wink.

The meaning is clear: leave this to me.

Li Shimin and Changsun immediately understood and nodded with smiles.

In the palace, besides Chengyang, who was two years older than her, the person who had the best relationship with Sizi was Li Lizhi.

There's really no better person than Li Zhi to get the little girl to talk.

This girl is exceptionally intelligent and has been by Empress Zhangsun's side since childhood, so she is excellent in both her conduct and interpersonal relationships.

It would be best if she were to step in.

"Big sister, I'm not tired. I even went swimming at the beach today! I also brought gifts for you and second sister."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the plastic bag he had been using and took out all the little trinkets he had found at the beach.

"These are three kinds of seashells, sea bream, and sea snails. My son and I dug them all up on the beach, they're so pretty!"

Li Shimin and his two companions stared at each other, wondering if these were all things from the seaside.

The group had initially thought they were just some broken pebbles to weigh down bags, but little did they know they were gifts brought back by the little princess.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi smiled as they accepted the gifts from Si Zi, expressing their delight.

"Sizi is so good. She even remembers her mother and brought her a gift."

"Thank you, Sizi. Sister really likes this Sanfu."

"It's Sanfu, it's not Sanfu!!"

Li Lizhi: "..."

"Hehe~ I'm going to give these remaining buns to my second sister. I'll also give her some lollipops and cotton candies."

"Yes, Mother is very happy that the rhinoceros horn can be given to Second Sister. Go on, let Qingzhu take you to Second Sister."

Empress Zhangsun was truly delighted; Sizi was so young, yet so sensible.

"Hmmmm~"

Then, Xiao Sizi, holding Qingzhu's hand, skipped and hopped away from the bedroom.

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Everyone, go and wait outside the palace."

All the eunuchs and palace maids left the inner palace, leaving only the three who had been there before.

"Does Lizhi have any way of getting information about that young master out of Sizi?"

Once everyone had left, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask Li Lizhi a question.

“If Father and Mother ask about this, Sizi definitely won’t tell. So it might be more effective for me to speak up. Actually, the best person to ask is Chengyang, that girl is closest to Sizi.”

"It's just that Chengyang is too young. Even if he wanted to ask, he probably wouldn't know how to bring it up."

Upon hearing Li Lizhi's explanation, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun nodded in agreement.

"But Father and Mother, there's no need to worry too much. I think that young man has no ill intentions toward Sizi, and I'm sure he feels the same way about our Great Tang."

"Otherwise, if Si Zi had kept disappearing to his place, it would have been impossible for him to have returned so easily, let alone bring back so much delicious food."

"It can only be said that the so-called young master truly loves Sizi, which is why he dotes on her so much. Sizi said before that he even took the girl to the beach, dug in the sand with her, and after being scolded by her mother, he took her to some kind of brothel. He also bought so much delicious food to appease his little sister."

"It would be impossible to do this if one did not truly love it."

As she continued her analysis, Li Shimin and Zhangsun became even more convinced of this view.

“That’s right. We were too worried before and completely ignored the fact that Sizi always brought things back with her, and we also ignored Sizi’s feelings.”

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He asked himself if he had ever been so fond of Sizi, but not to the point of spoiling her like this.

Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Actually, this young man who suddenly appeared might not be a bad thing for us."

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin looked at her in surprise.

Li Lizhi picked up a bag of milk candy and asked Li Shimin, "Father, what do you think this would cost if it were sold in our Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he instantly guessed what Li Lizhi meant: "You mean, to do business with that young man through Sizi?"

“That’s right. Given how much he dotes on Sizi, there’s a high chance he’ll agree to it. If he does, we can gradually find out more about it during our cooperation. That’s much better than forcing Sizi to investigate and ending up in a bad situation.”

"As long as the other party is genuinely good to Sizi and sincerely wants to do business with us, what does it matter what their identity is?"

"I'm sure Father knows better than his daughter how valuable this kind of thing, which has never appeared in the Tang Dynasty, is, and how profitable it is to sell something that is unique."

Li Lizhi's words plunged Li Shimin into silence.

In fact, Li Lizhi wanted to discuss these matters with Empress Zhangsun.

Royal business was also managed by the Empress.

But since Li Shimin is here, it's better to mention it while we're at it, rather than cause trouble later.

After a moment, Li Shimin looked at Changsun and asked, "What does Guanyinbi think?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled gently: "Hasn't Your Majesty already made a decision? Why do you still need to ask me?"

Li Shimin suddenly burst into laughter, stroking his beard and saying, "Indeed, she is my bedmate. I haven't even said anything yet, and Guanyinbi has already guessed it."

Then, he looked at Li Lizhi and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. You can discuss the specifics with your mother."

"Yes, daughter obeys the decree." Li Lizhi curtsied, accepting the task.

Meanwhile, Si Zi arrived outside Princess Chengyang's bedroom.

"Second sister~~ I've come to see you~~"

Before you even get close, the clear, sweet baby voice can be heard from afar.

A baby came running out of the palace gate, not much bigger than Si Zi.

Wearing the same ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with two little buns on her head and rosy cheeks, she stood at the door waving to Sizi after seeing her.

"Sizi~~ I'm here~"

The baby was Princess Chengyang, the second daughter of Empress Zhangsun, who was two years older than Sizi.

Upon seeing Princess Chengyang, Sizi waved excitedly as well.

"Second sister~ I brought you some goodies~~ Hehe~"

"What is it? Is it a new dish from the Imperial Kitchen? Or is it a gift from Father?"

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Princess Chengyang's eyes widened, filled with anticipation.
