I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

After returning to the Jiangxia Palace, Li Daozon's steps were a little heavy, and his heart was full of worries.

After entering the mansion, he went straight to the inner room, looking at his daughter Li Xueyan with a worried look.

All of you go down."

Li Dao Zong's voice was low and echoed in the quiet inner room.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the noise, the servants retreated quickly and orderly.

Li Daozon sighed softly, and this sigh seemed to carry the fatigue and helplessness he had accumulated over the years of struggle in officialdom.

"Yan'er, Aye has something to tell you."

At this time, Li Xueyan's thoughts were still immersed in the joy of her father's previous mention of asking His Majesty for a marriage for her.

Various beautiful scenes of her possible future with her sweetheart Zhang Xianhuai kept appearing in her mind.

So much so that when he heard Li Dao Zong's call, he was in a trance for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses and quickly responded: "Aye, I'm here!"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement and longing, and her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.

Looking at his distracted daughter, Li Daozon felt mixed emotions.

She knew all about her daughter's deep affection for Zhang Xianhuai, but as a father, he had to consider many practical factors for his daughter's future.

If his son was like this, he would have lost control of his hot temper and might even have kicked him. But when facing his daughter, he was more patient and gentle.

"Yan'er, I'm writing this petition to ask for your hand in marriage, but I must make some promises first."

Li Dao Zong spoke slowly, his eyes showing seriousness.

"Aye is just an idle prince, without any power or influence. He relies on his status as a clan member to barely maintain a peaceful life on the edge of the court."

"But Zhang Xianhuai is different. Don't look at his young age, but he is already a close confidant of His Majesty and holds a high position of power in the court."

"Don't look at how Aye keeps calling him 'that brat'. If Zhang Xianhuai really appeared before Aye, Aye would have to bow respectfully and call him Commander Zhang."

"So whether this matter will succeed or not, Aye cannot guarantee it to you. After all, it mainly depends on the will of His Majesty."

Li Xueyan nodded sensibly. She tried hard to suppress the joy in her heart and tried to make herself look more calm.

"I am already very satisfied that Aye can do this for Yan'er. If it doesn't work out, I can accept it."

"If I like someone, I can't always ask them to like me back, right?"

Her tone was open-minded, as if she had seen through the emotional helplessness in this world, but her slightly trembling voice still revealed a hint of nervousness and uneasiness deep in her heart.

Seeing his daughter being so sensible, Li Daozon felt relieved and nodded slightly.

"It's good that you know. Zhang Xianhuai is already in a high position of power at his age. If he wants to advance further in the future, there is no more he can be promoted to."

"Moreover, the Jinyiwei is a sharp sword in the hands of His Majesty. It may seem glorious, but in fact it is fraught with danger."

"I'm afraid he won't have a good end in the future!"

Li Daozon's voice became deeper and deeper, and his words were filled with worry.

Hearing Li Daozon's words, Li Xueyan widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Aye, no way! Your Majesty trusts him so much."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

In her opinion, Zhang Xianhuai was deeply favored by His Majesty and was a capable assistant to His Majesty. How could he not have a good end in the future?

Li Daozong glanced at Li Xueyan meaningfully and said slowly, "My daughter, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's heart is like an abyss!"

"I watched His Majesty all the way here."

"Aye has experienced many hardships in his life and walked a long way. Naturally, what he has seen and heard is more profound than others. I only dare to say these words to you."

As he spoke, Li Daozon stood up, opened the doors and windows slowly and cautiously, glanced outside with a sharp gaze, and only closed the doors and windows again after making sure that there was no one around.
