"Uh... isn't Yuzhang's birthday in a few days?"
Upon hearing Empress Changsun's reminder, Li Er, who was chewing his food with big mouthfuls, was obviously stunned.
He is still quite concerned about his daughter Yuzhang.
On the one hand, it was because this daughter had always been raised by Empress Changsun.
On the other hand, it was also related to the difficult labor that Yuzhang's mother had when she gave birth to her.
Although many years have passed, it is hard to forget with my daughter Yuzhang by my side.
Originally, Yu Zhang felt a little disappointed when he saw Li Er busy eating.
When she heard that Aye clearly remembered her birthday, a smile instantly appeared on her face.
"Sizi and the others wanted to give me a special birthday, so Young Master Zhou took us to buy ingredients for making cakes. This chiffon cake and these thousand-layer cakes were all made by us. I'd like to invite Aye and Queen A-niang to taste them."
As she spoke, she brought the cut cake to Li Er and Empress Changsun.
"Okay, okay, you guys are thoughtful."
After hearing Yuzhang's explanation, Li Er felt relieved.
Without caring about Zhou Yu's expression, he immediately took the cake and started eating with a smug look on his face.
While eating the cake with a smacking sound, Lao Deng did not forget to show off to Zhou Yu, "Boy, look, my little cotton-padded jacket is still so considerate."
Zhou Yu: ...
If I tell Lao Deng now about the scene where the little princesses rushed to blow out the candles, I wonder if he would still be so proud.
However, Empress Zhangsun, who was standing next to her, did not start eating the cake immediately after taking it. Instead, she called on the maid to give a piece to everyone.
Looking at the cake handed to him, the little kid's head immediately shook like a rattle, "Hehe ~ Mom, my stomach can't take any more cake, I need to eat more later ~"
Seeing the little girl's reaction, Empress Changsun understood what was going on.
She nodded the little girl's head first, then deliberately asked, "Sizi, have you eaten before?"
"Yeah~ I was so drunk when I was doing it~"
Facing Empress Changsun, the little girl did not hide anything. She not only told her about the secret eating, but also showed her little belly to her mother.
The little girl looked so cute that everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone tasted the cake together, gave blessings to Yuzhang, and then the banquet officially began.
Except for Yuzhang and Li Shu, everyone else present had tasted modern cuisine more than once, so naturally there was no excessive politeness.
After a feast, Li Er, who was full and satisfied, began to care about the little princesses' studies.
Li Er also knew about Zhou Yu's previous efforts to find schools for the little princesses in modern times.
Now that Yuzhang and Li Shu have joined the cast, he naturally doesn't want to favor one over the other.
However, when he learned that the little princesses did not successfully enroll in school, his originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn.
Seeing that he remained silent, Empress Changsun next to him clearly understood what he meant.
Smiling as she glanced at the little princesses, she then said to Zhou Yu in a serious tone, "Sizi and Li Shu are still young, so there's no need to rush into studying in just one or two days.
But Lizhi and the others are at the age of studying. If they do nothing all day, not only will they waste their studies, but they will also probably attract criticism from court officials.
After all, they are all princesses of the Tang Dynasty and will definitely get married in the future.
If they get used to life a thousand years from now, I'm afraid no man will be able to catch their eye anymore."
After Empress Changsun finished speaking, she sighed deeply.
As a mother, she naturally hopes that her daughters can have a good home.
But as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she knew very well that all this was probably just wishful thinking.
She did not object to her daughters learning modern knowledge, but it was obvious that the more they did so, the more fragmented their future would become.
After all, if you marry someone who is less knowledgeable and experienced than you, there is no way your marriage can be harmonious.
After listening to Empress Changsun's analysis, Zhou Yu fell silent for a while.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but he doesn't have any effective solution.
Or perhaps he subconsciously didn't want to think about something that might potentially get him into trouble.
But now Empress Changsun pointed it out in person, and it was very likely that it was instructed by Li Er, the old man.
If I don't say something, it will be difficult to get away with it.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly before tentatively asking, "How about waiting until the little princesses finish their studies before going to the modern world to play?"
"I don't want to. I want to be with Xiao Neng-jun."
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, before Li Lizhi and the others could speak, the little girl expressed her opposition in an excited tone.
As the little girl spoke, she hung on Zhou Yu like a koala.
She looked as if she was afraid that Zhou Yu would abandon her.
Looking at the other little princesses, they also had conflicted expressions on their faces.
In their opinion, Zhou Yu's proposal has taken them into consideration to a great extent.
After all, as long as you can finish your studies, you can go to modern times to play.
What really troubled them, or rather Li Lizhi, was the marriage issue mentioned by Empress Changsun.
The reason why her marriage with her cousin Chang Sun Chong was cancelled was mainly because the two were blood relatives within three generations.
But even if I can't marry my cousin, I can't decide my own marriage.
As soon as she reaches the age, Aye will definitely find a new husband for her.
At that time, no matter who the other party is, I will probably have to accept my fate.
Of course, there is room for change.
As long as Mr. Zhou is willing to marry me, I believe my parents will not object.
But after such a long period of contact, Zhou Xiaolangjun's attitude has become very clear.
In his eyes, he was just a child like Sizi.
Besides, even if she could marry Mr. Zhou, what would happen to Yuzhang and Chengyang?
Just as A Niang said, people like us are like frogs that have jumped out of the well. How could we possibly look down on men who are still sitting in the well and looking at the world from a narrow perspective?
Even if this man is extremely talented, he is ultimately just a frog in a well.
They have never seen the world outside the well and have no idea how wonderful the world outside the well is.
Thinking of this, Li Lizhi felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Just as she was about to persuade Xiao Sizi to accept the proposal, she saw Aye looking at Zhou Yu with a smile.
For a moment, she felt an inexplicable surge of heat in her heart.
Is this not what Aye meant?
Or does he think that Mr. Zhou has a better way of dealing with it?
Thinking of this, she forced herself to suppress her thoughts and looked at Zhou Yu in the same way as Aye.
Seeing this, others all followed suit.
Zhou Yu was originally trying to coax the little kid, but when he saw this, he was speechless.
