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

Am I your pride? Are you still worried about me? What are you concerned about? You've grown up!

As the little princess exclaimed, "You've grown up!" Li Shimin snapped out of his daze.

"Is this the music of later generations?" Li Shimin was somewhat dazed.

"Dad~ Did I sing well?" Seeing that her dad didn't react after she finished singing, Si Zi quickly asked.

"Excellent! Sizi and Chengyang sang wonderfully!" Li Shimin clapped his hands in praise.

Hehe~ I also think I sang well~

After praising Sizi, Li Shimin and Changsun focused their attention on the mobile phone in Li Qin's hand.

"Will future generations listen to music without musical instruments, using only such a small piece of glass?"

"No, this thing can only record music. To create music, you still need musical instruments."

Li Qin explained with a wry smile that many things are troublesome to explain, so he could only speak vaguely.

Li Shimin nodded, it was unclear whether he understood or not, but he did know that music could be recorded in an object.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want to make some with my mother~"

Seeing that Li Qin was about to put away his phone, Si Zi stepped forward and hugged him affectionately.

“Okay, you and Chengyang can go to your mother’s place.”

"Mmm~ Second Sister~"

Sizi pulled Chengyang, who was standing beside him, and walked towards Changsun.

"Make it?" Li Shimin was puzzled, wondering what this little girl was up to now.

“It’s a portrait,” Li Qin explained.

Upon hearing that he was to have his portrait painted by the eldest grandson, Li Er immediately became interested.

"Would it be possible to include me in the painting?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you may sit with the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Li Er, who was already sitting next to his eldest grandson, moved even closer to his wife.

"Sizi, Chengyang, why don't you sit in your parents' laps? It'll look better in the photos that way."

Seeing the two little puddings standing on either side of each other, Li Qin felt that the scene was not very heartwarming, so he suggested that Li Er and Changsun each hold one of them.

"I want Mommy to hug me~" Si Zi quickly climbed onto her grandson's lap.

Chengyang was then embraced by Li Shimin and placed on his lap, sitting obediently.

"Okay, that's it, don't move." Seeing that the pose was set, Li Qin quickly spoke up.

"Smile and cheer up."

"Kacha!"

"All right!"

"Look at me~ how pretty is she?"

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Sizi was the first to climb down from Changsun's arms and rush to Li Qin's side to check on him.

"Beautiful, Mingda is the most beautiful little princess."

As Li Qin spoke, he handed his phone to Si Zi.

Wow~ I look so good~

She let out a gasp, then grinned and took her phone to show her father and mother.

Li Shimin and Changsun were in a state of shock.

Isn't this a portrait? It's finished already? So fast?

And it was by simply comparing them with that piece of glass that they were able to create a portrait?

When Sizi walked up to the two of them with her phone, holding up the photos on her phone to indicate what was happening, she was taken to the ground.

They then realized that it was indeed finished.

Moreover, it is so lifelike that it looks exactly like the real person.

"Mommy~ Look, don't I look beautiful~"

As Si Zi operated the device, Changsun and Li Er discovered that the portrait could actually be enlarged.

It could even be said that every detail was clearly visible, especially since Si Zi, in her vanity, had her face enlarged to the maximum size, and even the individual strands of hair on it could be seen.

"This thing is so amazing?!" Li Shimin stared intently at the photo on his phone.

"It's just a product of modern science. Once you understand its function, you won't find it too amazing."

Li Qin said in a calm tone.

"Science? Is it a doctrine from later generations?"

"It can be described as a collection of one or many theories."

"Do you have any books? If we learn this so-called science, will our Great Tang Dynasty be able to create this thing like later generations?"

Li Shimin's eyes gleamed. "Also, is it possible that the kind of oil Lizhi mentioned last time, as well as the motorcycle, can be manufactured through science?"

At that moment, Li Er felt he had discovered the most crucial difference between the Tang Dynasty and later generations.

Li Qin's expression stiffened, then he nodded awkwardly: "Theoretically speaking, it is indeed as you said, that you can make these things if you learn science."

"There are science-related books, but... these books are no different from celestial texts to the Tang Dynasty. Whether they can be understood or not is not the most important thing; the key is whether they can accept and comprehend the content."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately frowned, his face showing displeasure: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that my Great Tang has no capable people? That they can't understand or learn this so-called science?"

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he possessed wealth from all corners of the world and gathered talented individuals from all over.

He genuinely didn't believe that it would be impossible to find someone to learn this science.

Once you understand these things, you can easily create the things that will exist in the future.

However, judging from Li Qin's appearance, he doesn't seem to think much of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Qin was speechless. What could he say?

A group of people enlightened by Confucianism learning science? And after reading it, do they just call it a bunch of gimmicks and tricks? Or do they scoff at it?

After thinking about it, he ultimately didn't explain, but instead sighed helplessly.

"How about this, I'll look for some introductory science books in the next couple of days and give them to you then."

"You can have someone try learning it first and see how it goes."

If you won't listen to me, then go and try it yourself. You'll understand when the final result comes out.

"Alright! It's settled then!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed, thinking that Li Qin was quite sensible.

"Let's set that aside for now and talk about the Empress's illness..."

After finishing discussing miscellaneous matters, Li Er finally brought up the matter he cared about most.

"I can go there for treatment within a month at the latest once my household registration and identity are settled."

Li Qin said frankly that Wang Qiusheng had already contacted friends in the Greater Bay Area and was trying to find people at the shipyard through other connections.

Li Qin believed that the results would come soon. Once he made contact and established a connection through the purchase of the boat, he would be able to find someone to handle the identity-related matters in no time.

"That's good." Li Shimin nodded with his lips pursed, then looked seriously at Li Qin.

"If you can cure the Empress, regardless of everything else, this alone will be a great favor to the Li family."

"As the emperor, I naturally cannot forget a debt of gratitude. Tell me, what do you want? If I have it, I will grant it to you!"

Li Qin thought for a moment and said without much hesitation, "Give me a few more of the jade you gave me last time. As for the rest, put them all under Mingda's name."

"Little Nang-kun~ what do you call me?" Upon hearing her name mentioned, Si Zi looked up at Li Qin with curiosity.

"Your father wants to reward me, and I said I only want a few pieces of jade, and the rest can be given to Mingda. What do you think?"

Li Qin explained to the little girl with a smile.

"Okay~ Little Nangjun is me~ I'm Little Nangjun~ Hehe~"
