"Ouch~" Li Haoze was showing off when he was suddenly hit on the head.
He subconsciously turned his head to look back, but saw Li Lizhi looking at it with a serious expression.
"Little Noojun, stop messing around! He's my father, the Emperor, and the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You must respect him!"
In front of outsiders, Li Lizhi addressed Li Shimin very formally, calling him "father".
"Okay~ For my sister's sake, I'll go around the tower this time~" Li Haoze raised his little head proudly.
Li Shimin, who was about to explode with anger, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha~ My daughter Lizhi still has a way to calm down this little beast of yours!"
The depressed mood that had been pent up for many days was finally swept away at this moment, and Li Shimin suddenly felt refreshed.
The other people present were still staring blankly at the father and daughter in front of them, completely confused.
"Your Majesty, what about this little divine beast?" Seeing that Li Shimin was in a good mood, Changsun Wuji took the initiative to step forward and asked.
Before this, there was a strange incident about the little princess who occasionally went to the fairyland for further studies and her body was temporarily controlled by the companion divine beast.
In fact, only a few people such as Li Shimin knew about it.
Naturally, the maids and eunuchs did not dare to leak any information to the outside world.
"Oh, this little girl." Li Shimin smiled and glanced at the "little princess".
Then he explained to Changsun Wuji and others.
"The one before me is not my precious daughter, Little Sizi, but her companion divine beast."
"You are the boss, your whole family is... Ouch!"
Li Haoze showed no mercy to Li Shimin's arrangement.
In the end, he was treated mercilessly by Li Lizhi who was holding him.
After hearing Li Shimin's explanation and the "little princess's" strange behavior, everyone present immediately made a bold guess.
"Your Majesty, could it be that... His Highness Jinyang's companion beast can transform into her appearance?"
Wei Zheng, without any scruples, took the initiative to guess.
All those present were ancient people, and they were very receptive to the idea that mythical beasts could transform into human form.
"Illusion? Xuancheng is wrong. This is not an illusion.
Instead, the little beast borrowed the little princess's body and temporarily controlled her movements."
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, at the same time glaring at the "little princess", signaling it to behave itself.
Seeing this, Li Haoze returned a contemptuous gesture and turned around immediately.
However, he found that Li Lizhi seemed a little confused, so he compared it to Li Shimin a few more times.
"There is such a thing?" Changsun Wuji and others were surprised when they heard this.
Although they were in high positions and had great power, this was the first time they had heard of such a strange thing.
But since this divine beast is controlling His Highness Jinyang's body, where has His Highness Jinyang gone?
Perhaps noticing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Li Shimin took the initiative to explain.
"Indeed, my son Sizi has encountered an immortal fate and can occasionally go to the immortal world to practice."
"But every time this happens, her body will fall into a deep state of stillness, as if the flame of life has been temporarily obscured and all breath has disappeared."
"I still remember the first time I encountered this situation. Guanyinbi was almost frightened out of her wits, and I was also very worried."
"To relieve our worries, every time Sizi went to the fairyland, she would order the divine beast under her to temporarily control her body and act as she saw fit."
After telling a series of lies, Li Shimin glared at the "little princess" again, signaling him to cooperate with the acting.
Li Haoze received Li Shimin's gaze and was speechless.
But in order to lower the vigilance of those around him, he did not refute it.
When Changsun Wuji and others heard Li Shimin's explanation, they all showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Although they had heard some rumors about the little princess and her companion beast before, they had not expected there to be so many twists and turns.
"So that's how it is. His Highness Jinyang is truly blessed." Changsun Wuji said with emotion.
"Yes, being able to meet an immortal and go to the fairyland to practice is an opportunity that many people dream of." Fang Xuanling also echoed.
Li Shimin felt proud when he heard everyone's praise.
His daughter is naturally the most outstanding and blessed person in the world.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement to the praise from his ministers.
Then he looked at Li Lizhi and asked, "Lizhi, what good news did you bring this little beast here today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers present were also shocked and looked at the "little princess" with hope on their faces.
In fact, the reason why Li Shimin summoned all the ministers here today was still to discuss.
How should the emergence of cement, a new building material, affect the border defense and corvee labor projects of the Tang Dynasty and how should it be restricted and promoted?
The cement was brought from modern times by Li Haoze in order to speed up the construction of the ice cream workshop.
Hearing Li Shimin's question at this moment, they naturally hoped that there would be another magical thing like cement that would benefit the country and the people.
Unexpectedly, when faced with Li Shimin's questions, Li Lizhi hesitated to speak and even couldn't help but glance at Changsun Wuji.
She originally wanted to discuss the investigation into incestuous marriage with Aye privately.
It’s not too late to ask Aye to break up after the result is out.
But Changsun Wuji was also there at this moment.
If she said it now, whether intentionally or unintentionally, wouldn't it be considered as wanting to force the marriage to end?
Li Shimin knew his eldest daughter's temperament very well. When he saw that she didn't say anything, he knew that it was not convenient to say it now.
I was just about to laugh it off and get over it.
But...how could Li Haoze miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Sis won't tell me, I'll tell you!"
In order to avoid being stopped by Li Lizhi, Li Haoze broke free from her arms and ran to Cheng Yaojin's side.
Then he continued, "I realized that my elder sister and Chang Sunchong would not be able to have children due to their close relatives.
My sister wanted to ask... the old emperor for help, so she came to verify it!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!
Especially Changsun Wuji, the thousand-year-old fox, his face changed drastically.
He understood instantly.
Regardless of whether what this little beast said is true or false.
I'm afraid the marriage between my Chong'er and Princess Lizhi will not be successful.
After all, the rumors that the two of them had no descendants came from the mouth of this evil beast.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, Li Shimin, who loves his daughter so much, would never let Princess Lizhi marry Chong'er.
Now, all that’s missing is a name.
"Marriage between close relatives?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned and quite puzzled when he heard this term for the first time.
Li Haoze saw this and slowly explained, "Consanguineous marriage is when people who are very closely related by blood get married.
For example, brothers and sisters, cousins, etc.
Children born from such a marriage are likely to have various problems.
For example, they may be physically weak, mentally retarded, or even die early."
"Of course, there may also be situations where one is unable to have children."
His explanation shocked everyone present.
If cousins are considered to be married to close relatives, then who among all the families here does not have this situation?
