Thinking back to yesterday's encounter with the little divine beast, where his guards were easily stopped by the other party, he could not bear the contrast even more.
"You bastards!" Li Chengqian shouted angrily, waving his hand to hit the leading guard. "I am the crown prince, and you dare to stop me? How audacious!"
"Brother, please show mercy!" At this moment, a clear and majestic voice suddenly sounded, causing Li Chengqian to pause.
He looked up and saw Li Lizhi walking down the plank road, like a fairy descending to earth.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with graceful manners, and her natural noble temperament revealed between her eyebrows.
Li Chengqian was stunned.
He had never expected to meet Li Lizhi here by chance, and she seemed to be coming from the direction of the Princess Huguo's Mansion.
"Li Zhi, why are you here?" he asked puzzledly.
Li Lizhi smiled slightly, bowed, and replied, "Brother, I am going to the palace to see my mother. I wonder why you are so angry?"
Li Chengqian then realized that Li Lizhi's Changle Princess Mansion was adjacent to the Huguo Princess Mansion, so it was reasonable for her to enter the palace from there.
However, when he thought that he, as the crown prince, was blocked, while Li Lizhi, as a princess, was able to pass unhindered, he became even angrier.
"These guards blocked my way and wouldn't let me pass through this plank road," he said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi turned to look at the guards. They were still standing at their posts with expressionless faces.
She knew in her heart that these guards were the most elite guards in the Tang Dynasty, and their loyalty and discipline were impeccable.
"Brother, this plank road connects the imperial palace and the Princess Huguo's residence, and its safety is of paramount importance. They are just guarding it diligently." Li Lizhi explained softly.
Then, she changed the subject, "If you are here to look for Sizi, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. She is not in the mansion at the moment."
"Oh? She's not here?" After hearing what concerned him, Li Chengqian had no time to argue with the guards.
Instead, he continued to ask, "Does Wu Niang know where Sizi went?"
Li Lizhi, the fifth child and often called the Fifth Lady, shook her head slightly.
"Brother, I'm not quite sure where Sizi is going.
She might have followed her mother into the palace, or she might have gone to Ziyun Valley.
By the way, it is also possible that she went out of the palace to play with Chengyang. They have been spending a lot of time together recently.
If you want to find Sizi, you might as well send someone to look for it in these places."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was the only clue at the moment.
He nodded and said to Li Lizhi, "Thank you Wu Niang for reminding me. I will send people to investigate these places."
After saying this, he turned and instructed the guards behind him: "Separately search and make sure you find Sizi's whereabouts."
The guards responded in unison and quickly left.
After the guards left, Li Chengqian chatted with Li Lizhi for a few words, then left in a hurry.
He was worried about Sizi and wanted to find her urgently.
Not long after, a guard came hurriedly to report that the little princess had been found in Ziyun Valley.
Upon hearing the news, Li Chengqian immediately went to Ziyun Valley.
The scenery of Ziyun Valley is picturesque, with blooming mountain flowers and gurgling streams, but Li Chengqian has no intention of appreciating it. He only wants to find Sizi.
Finally, he arrived at the Ziyun Valley laboratory where the little princess was.
The building has a unique appearance, blending classical and modern architectural styles, which is eye-catching.
The walls are mainly made of elegant bluestone, carved with delicate cloud patterns, which seem to contrast with the surrounding purple clouds.
The roof is paved with glazed tiles, which sparkle in the sun and look very imposing.
In front of the laboratory door, there are two stone pillars carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, symbolizing the dignity and authority of the royal family.
Above the door lintel hangs a gold-rimmed plaque with the five large characters "Ziyun Laboratory" inscribed on it.
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of technology and wisdom.
The entire building is surrounded by a lush bamboo forest.
The breeze blows and the bamboo leaves rustle, adding a sense of tranquility and elegance to this mysterious laboratory.
Behind the laboratory is a clear stream with gurgling water, which brings a touch of vitality and liveliness to the place.
Li Chengqian was about to push the door open, but was stopped again by the guard standing at the door.
"Your Highness, please stay."
The guard saluted respectfully and said, "The little princess is conducting an important experiment and has instructed that no one is allowed to disturb her.
Please wait a moment, Your Highness, until the little princess's experiment is finished, and then inform me again."
When Li Chengqian heard the guard's words, he almost lost his temper, "I am the crown prince!"
Of course, he was not angry at the guards in front of him for stopping him, but he was angry at the guards around him for not doing their job well.
Why can't Sizi's guards even give him face, while his guards are so timid in front of... the little divine beast?
He is the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future heir to the throne!
"Your Highness, please calm down." The guards remained respectful, "The little princess did give strict orders, and we are only following them.
Please understand, Your Highness." The guard added, "Even if Your Majesty came, we would never disturb Your Highness."
"You..." Li Chengqian took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement.
He knew that these guards were just doing their duty and they did nothing wrong.
Moreover, he came here this time to ask Xiao Sizi for a favor. Since she was conducting an important experiment, it would be better not to disturb her.
"Okay, then I'll wait here for a while." After Li Chengqian figured it out, his tone became much calmer.
He turned around and sat down on a stone bench nearby, beginning to wait patiently.
During this time, he couldn't help but recall what happened yesterday, and he still felt a little unwilling.
But he also understood that the little divine beast from yesterday was not an ordinary person, so it was understandable that his guards seemed powerless in front of it.
As time passed, Li Chengqian's mood gradually calmed down.
He began to appreciate the surrounding scenery. The beautiful scenery of Ziyun Valley was indeed refreshing.
At this moment, the heavy door of the laboratory slowly opened, revealing a gap.
The little princess walked out lightly, her face a little tired, but her eyes were shining brightly.
Seeing Li Chengqian sitting on the stone bench and waiting patiently, the corners of her mouth curled up in a slightly complicated arc.
After these few years of growth, coupled with studying in Hyundai.
The little princess already had a deep understanding of the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, and she couldn't help but think about the issue of the future heir of the Tang Dynasty.
But after these years of thinking, as well as the closeness and daily interactions between us.
Deep down in her heart, the little princess still prefers her ninth brother to be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
However, she had a good relationship with Li Chengqian since childhood, and since they were brothers, her attitude was naturally not bad.
