Chapter 43: Marriage with Close Relatives



Mmm! Very soft! Very sticky! Very fragrant! Very sweet!

Unfortunately, it’s fleeting.

"Hey! Little Sizi, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the cute little princess in front of her, Li Lizhi smiled sweetly.

"Ah~~Sister Ah, let's go!" Li Haoze was still a little confused at this moment.

"Huh~!" Li Lizhi said happily, as if she had discovered a new world, "Are you a little divine beast?"

"How did you find out?" Li Haoze was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that Li Lizhi would discover his identity as soon as he came here.

"It's a secret!" Li Lizhi smiled cunningly and did not tell Li Haoze the answer. She still walked out of the palace gate with it in her arms.

However, he dismissed his attendants and whispered in its ear.

"Little Rangjun~ Tell me quickly, how can I change my fate and have many children and grandchildren?"

Reverse fate? Have a large family?

Hearing Li Lizhi's wish, Li Haoze was immediately overjoyed and blurted out, "Just don't marry Chang Sun Chong!"

In Li Haoze's opinion, since Li Lizhi came to him to change her fate.

It must be Li Shimin or Empress Zhangsun who told Li Lizhi that she was dying.

But he never expected that Li Lizhi was so smart and guessed it herself.

"Not marrying your cousin? Why?" Li Lizhi was shocked.

She had originally just been trying it out in a playful mood, but the little beast gave her a big surprise.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Lizhi has deep feelings for Changsun Chong.

But in her opinion, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough, and Chang Sun Chong is A Niang's biological nephew.

With his distinguished family background and outstanding talents, he is undoubtedly her best match.

More importantly, as an important official of the dynasty, Changsun Wuji had tremendous power.

The marriage with the Changsun family not only meets the expectations of my father and mother, but is also the key to consolidating the royal status and maintaining the stability of the court.

It is also her responsibility as a princess.

"Of course it's because you're close relatives. You can't have children if you get married."

When he learned that this game could really affect reality, Li Haoze specially went to look up a lot of historical materials from the early Tang Dynasty.

It turned out that there were not many records about Li Lizhi in history books, only mentioning that she died at the age of twenty-three.

As for the son, there are even more different opinions.

Some say that she gave birth to three children, but two of them died young, and the remaining eldest grandson is an idiot.

There is also a saying that Li Lizhi had no children in her life, and that the eldest grandson was adopted from a concubine, but he was still a normal person.

But now it is impossible for Li Lizhi to go to the modern era to read history books, so Li Haoze must go in the direction that is most beneficial to him.

"Can't close relatives have children?"

After hearing this, Li Lizhi immediately stared at the little beast with a fierce look on her face, "Little beast, you are not allowed to lie to me!"

"Look how good my sister is to you and Xiao Sizi, yet you still use such words to deceive my sister. You are so heartless!"

"Scam?" Li Haoze shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not! You and Chang Sunchong are cousins, you can't have children even if you get married!"

"You still say you didn't lie to your sister?" Li Lizhi stopped and put the "little princess" on the ground.

Then he bent its little head and aimed it at his eyes.

"Since ancient times, haven't most marriages been between cousins?"

"Why can't they have children?"

"You use this as an excuse, aren't you just trying to trick me?"

After being questioned by Li Lizhi in a series of questions, Li Haoze, who was a little confused, suddenly understood.

There is a deviation in the two people's cognition.

In his opinion, it is common sense that marriage between close relatives is likely to result in deformed children or even no children at all.

However, in this era, people do not have such awareness and even like to marry cousins.

Li Haoze took a deep breath. He knew that if he wanted to convince Li Lizhi, he had to try a different approach.

So he tried to explain the problem from another angle.

"Sister, have you ever thought about why some children are born with problems, such as being weak or having low intelligence?"

After hearing this, Li Lizhi frowned and fell into deep thought.

But she quickly looked up and responded, "It has been like this since ancient times! This is the natural law of heaven and earth!"

"It's not just humans; chickens, ducks, sheep, cows, horses, and other domestic animals are like this too. There will always be some cubs born with defects."

“We humans, even though we are the most intelligent creatures on earth, are not immune to this.

These children may be the victims of the laws of nature and of heaven, the result of natural selection."

At this point, Li Lizhi was stunned. "You're not saying that my sister's future children will be the same, are you?"

"This is impossible! My sister is the legitimate daughter of the great Emperor, the Khan Li Shimin!"

"Chang Sun Chong also comes from a prominent family.

Even if one or two of our children might be mentally retarded in the future, it's impossible for us to be without descendants, right?"

"That's right, it's not!" Li Haoze nodded affirmatively. "It's been like this since ancient times. Does that mean it's right?"

"Besides, there are many couples in this world who cannot have children, and the husbands often blame their wives for it. Is that right?"

Hearing this, Li Lizhi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, imagining the scene in the future if she couldn't give birth to a child.

Who knows, he might really die young from depression.

Could this be the reason why A Niang concealed from her that she would not live long?

But that's not right. If that were the case, her mother would never let her marry Chang Sun Chong again.

At this moment, Li Lizhi's mind was a little confused.

At this time, Li Haoze said, "I actually have a way to verify the correctness of what I said about you guys not being able to have children because of your close relatives marrying."

"Oh? What's the solution?" Li Lizhi suddenly perked up and promised, "As long as you're right, I'll reward you handsomely!"

Li Haoze smiled slightly. He was waiting for Li Lizhi to say this.

"Actually, the method is very simple. Sister can just randomly find a thousand or even ten thousand couples, couples who are close relatives or non-close relatives and have children, and do a study on them."

"Isn't it obvious whether it's true or false?"

Hearing that the method was so simple, Li Lizhi's eyes narrowed.

Li Lizhi, who originally believed only 30% of it, suddenly believed 90% of it.

After all, if the answer could be obtained through such a simple investigation, she believed that the little beast would have no reason to lie.

"Let's go! Let's go find Aye!"

As she spoke, Li Lizhi directly took the "little princess" into her arms and walked towards Ganlu Palace with it.

After all, although she is a princess, she is only of noble status, and it is difficult for her to conduct an investigation of this scale.

"Little beast, why is it that since ancient times, so many close relatives have married without any problems, but my cousin and I can't?"

On the way, Li Lizhi asked in a very calm mood.
