Emperor Li Daozong doted on his youngest daughter. In order to prevent her from repeating the mistakes of his eldest daughter, Princess Wencheng, he not only did not give her a formal name, but also declined the title of county princess that Emperor Li Shimin had given her.
The reason is simple: he fears that one day someone will ask the Tang Dynasty to arrange a marriage alliance, and Li Er, who is reluctant to let his daughter marry, will once again set his sights on him.
Li Daozong never expected his daughter to become rich and powerful. He only hoped that she would find a good man in Guanzhong to marry and be able to come home to see her old father from time to time. He would be content with that.
Seeing that Si Zi was standing next to his daughter pretending to be a maid while his daughter sat in the main seat, he was so angry that he almost turned against Li Er.
"Your Majesty, you must give me an explanation for this!"
"Otherwise, this old minister will march on Tibet, bring my eldest daughter back, and not go to marry that son of a bitch Tibet!"
Li Shimin never expected that Xiao Sizi would use Li Daozong's precious daughter as a shield.
You should know that Li Daozong doted on this youngest daughter. He was extremely wary of her, even of the imperial court. He himself, as her uncle, had never even seen her face!
However, Si Zi and Li Daozong's youngest daughter have a very good relationship. They are very close sisters. They often played together when they were young, and even after they grew up, they wrote letters every now and then and would get together to chat whenever they had free time.
"this……"
"Sizi is so ignorant, I will definitely give her a good scolding when I get back!"
"snort!"
"Your Majesty, I am very angry!"
"You've already taken one of my daughters away. If you dare to take Er Ya away, believe me, this old minister will fight you to the death!"
"Seungbeom, don't get angry. When did I ever say I was going to take your daughter away..."
"I swear to you, even if there is a marriage alliance in the future, I will never have any designs on your Er Ya!"
Li Daozong felt slightly better after seeing His Majesty swear an oath in front of him.
"Hmph!"
"Your humble servant forgives you for now. Please take your daughter home quickly, and I'll take my daughter home too..."
"No...no, they're having so much fun, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to go and pick them up now, would it?"
Ziyun Tower.
This was Li Erya's first time participating in such a lively event. She was as happy as a child, clapping her little hands until they were red, and she kept applauding and cheering for the acrobats.
"Cousin, this is so much fun! Why didn't you bring me out before!"
Upon hearing this, Si Zi secretly rolled his eyes.
"Your father treats you like the apple of his eye; even if I wanted to take you away, I couldn't!"
"If we hadn't used a trick today, lying to your mother that we were going to the Xiangguo Temple, she still wouldn't have let you out!"
"Isn't this all your father's fault? If your father hadn't married my sister off so far away, would I have been locked up at home by my father and mother? Hehe!"
"well!"
"Father has indeed wronged your elder sister a great deal!"
"By the way, cousin, why did you make me pretend to be you?"
"Well..."
Si Zi smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and only after seeing his nephew walk away did he whisper.
"I'm fooling a little fool, hehehe!"
"Little fool?"
"who?"
"Is it the child who calls you 'little aunt'?"
"yes!"
"That child is amazing! He managed to accomplish such a big thing!"
"Look at Qujiang Pool today. There are at least tens of thousands of people, yet it doesn't look chaotic at all. Every place is well-organized and arranged in a pleasing manner!"
Upon hearing Li Erya's words, Sizi couldn't help but mock her.
"What, you've taken a fancy to my nephew?"
"What... I'm still young, how would I know about those things? But you're always hanging out with half-grown boys, don't you know any shame..."
"That's my own nephew, why should I be ashamed?"
"His own nephew?"
Although Li Erya was kept under close watch by her father, Li Daozong, and rarely went out, she still knew some things about royal affairs.
There aren't many people that Si Zi's cousin would call her nephew; only the sons of her cousins Li Chengqian and Li Tai are qualified.
But I've met both of their sons before, and they're completely different from this boy in front of me!
"Cousin, whose son is this?"
"Keep it a secret!"
"You kept this a secret from me? And I considered you my best friend!"
When Si Zi heard Li Er Ya say this, he immediately comforted her.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't tell you now. My father forbids me from saying it..."
Upon hearing that it was His Majesty's order, Li Erya dared not ask any more questions, but her curiosity only grew stronger.
Since they are royal descendants, there's no reason for them to engage in business!
Moreover, judging from how others address him, he seems to be a military commander and a county magistrate...
The grandsons of the Tang emperors were born as princes, so how could they possibly be reduced to being minor barons or lowly captains?
Li Erya had too many questions in her mind, and she only wanted to ask her father when she got home what was going on.
However, just as he was thinking this, he saw his father's angry face.
"Come home with me!"
"Father... Ah, His Majesty is here too!"
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, which was his response to Li Erya.
"Er Ya, did you have fun today?"
"happy!"
"Would you like to come here again in the future?"
"think!"
Li Daozong glared at Li Er with displeasure, then took his daughter's hand and walked out.
"Dad, let me play a little longer!"
"My cousin said that Ziyun Tower is most beautiful when the lights are on at night, I want to see it..."
Upon hearing this, Li Daozong immediately softened and released his daughter's hand.
