Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 116 Li Shimin’s worries: Is his daughter worthy of him?
"Hehe! Sister is so nice, big brother won't blame you! Humph, if big brother blames you, then Sizi will use the cuteness technique on big brother! So that big brother will never get angry again!"

As he spoke, Little Sizi leaned close to Princess Changle's ear and whispered, "Tell my sister secretly, my second brother wrote in his diary that he can't resist Sizi's cute tricks. Once he uses them, Sizi is invincible!"

Princess Changle smiled when she heard this.

In fact, she really wanted to say that it was not her second brother’s fault, because little Sizi was also invincible in his art of acting cute towards her.

Princess Changle followed Xiao Sizi's words and said, "Okay, then I will rely on our Xiao Sizi."

Little Sizi was extremely proud, looking up to the sky like a peacock, patting his chest and saying righteously, "Leave it to Sizi! It is also Sizi's responsibility to make sure that Second Brother does not blame Sister!!"

"Oh! Oh, yes, I almost forgot one thing. Sister, please put Sizi down. Sizi has something delicious to drink for you today."

Princess Changle asked in surprise: "What is it?"

"Hey, sister, put down the rhinoceros first."

Little Sizi kept the secret.

Princess Changle was very curious about what Xiao Sizi was going to send. After she put her down, the little girl ran away. After a while, she was holding two bowls of water in her hands.

"Sister, this is it! It tastes really good. The bad guys at Wangyun Inn all call it ice water."

"Hehe! I call them bad guys because they kept it a secret from Sizi for a long time. If Sizi hadn't been smart enough to find the ice water, we wouldn't have known about it until now. Bad guys! They are all bad guys!"

Little Sizi is full of resentment.

It can be seen that she still holds a grudge.

At this time, Princess Changle was looking at the bowl of water. No, it was not water to be exact. There were two portions of ice cubes mixed in the water.

Strange!
I am always curious and frightened about the unknown.

But after all, it was given by her younger sister, so she still believed it and drank the whole bowl.

"Sister, how is it?"

Little Sizi jumped all over and looked at Princess Changle expectantly.

Princess Changle was stunned.

cool!

This water is really cool!
It is such a blessing to have such cool water in your stomach in the hot summer!

"It's delicious."

Princess Changle spoke truthfully.

"Hehe! Sizi knew that my sister would like it too!"

Even though he had guessed it beforehand, Xiao Sizi was still very happy to hear Princess Changle speak at this time.

Princess Changle smiled and said, "Our little Sizi is so kind that he can think of me when he has something good. So, I can't just be perfunctory about this trip to Wangyun Inn. I must help our little Sizi block the Taoist priest."

"Even if Master Qin stops us, I will still speak for our little Sizi. Hmm... Master Qin, I think he will still give me some face, right?"

Princess Changle was a little unconfident.

But when I think about my own affairs, including problems, as long as I ask Qin Changye, I will get answers, it seems that I have some face?
Well, she still wasn't very confident.

I'll just give it a try when the time comes. This is also the first test to see if I can have a say with Master Qin.

Princess Changle thought so in her heart.

"Ah?" Little Sizi didn't quite understand and said, "Sister, is the old man so scary? Sizi thinks he's quite nice."

"Well, that's because the Taoist priest is an adult, so sometimes he hides his emotions..."

Princess Changle picked up little Sizi again and talked as they walked.

along the way.

She and Xiao Sizi have endless topics to talk about.

When they arrived at Wangyun Inn, the old man rubbed his forehead with a headache when he saw Xiao Sizi and her sister.

"Master, Changle and my little sister are here to disturb us again."

Princess Changle bowed while holding little Sizi in her arms.

"Old man, Sizi is here again."

"Where is my second brother?"

The little Sizi in her arms waved to greet her as usual.

The old man said helplessly: "Your Highnesses, Xiao Qin...well, he has something to do and is going out to meet an old friend."

Old friend?

Princess Changle raised her eyes slightly.

She remembered that Master Qin was an immortal, an old friend of an immortal... Then, was the other party also an immortal?

Princess Changle couldn't help but feel curious.

She also planned to wait for Qin Changye to come back and ask him tentatively.

"Ah? Second brother is not here again."

Little Sizi was a little discouraged.

The old man coughed and said, "Ahem, Your Highness Xiao Sizi, Xiao Qin will be back soon."

"As for the two of you, are you going to the underground palace again? If you go, Your Highness Xiao Sizi, there is a possibility that you will find something not so good, such as test questions."

When he heard the little guy sneaking out of the ice room yesterday, he felt sick.

Later, I heard that the little guy had found something new. I was moved to tears. I wondered how the little Sizi could find things so well. The underground palace of Wangyun Inn was just built not long ago, and it must have been searched thoroughly!
but….
When the old man heard that the new thing that Xiao Sizi took out was a test question, he laughed. It was the first time that he was not sad about something that Xiao Sizi took out, and his laughter was extremely unrestrained.

"Wow, wow, old man, stop talking, stop talking, it was just an accident! Sizi will not find anything bad today!"

Little Sizi kept shaking his hands, as if he wanted to quickly forget the test questions that he had finally forgotten.

She hates test questions so much!
"it is good."

The old man could only laugh helplessly, gave way and said, "Princess, please come in. In addition, His Majesty and the Queen are also here to watch the ice-making work."

Little Sizi was a little surprised: "Ah! Father and mother are here too!"

She grabbed Princess Changle's sleeve and urged, "Sister, let's go meet our father, the emperor, and our mother."

Princess Changle hugged Xiao Sizi tighter and said gently, "Okay, no problem."

The two of them drifted apart.

The old man looked at them helplessly, and only hoped that His Highness Little Sizi would not have another sudden flash of inspiration today.

His old bones couldn't stand being frightened any more.

"Taoist Priest!"

Just then, a guard from Wangyun Inn came hurriedly.

"what happened?"

The old man looked at the man.

The guard of Wangyun Inn looked around and saw no one, but he was still worried. He leaned close to Laozhe's ear and said, "We found out the whereabouts of Zhen Kaiyang. He has no ill intentions towards Boss Qin during this trip."

When the old man heard this, his cloudy eyes suddenly became clearer.

He looked into the distance at the sky.

Thoughtful.

Kaiyang.

After so many years, are we finally going to meet our ancestors?
Kaiyang Kaiyang, this really is... an extremely familiar and unforgettable word.

………………

Inside the underground palace.

Li Shimin came here today, first of all to see how the ice-making facilities were going. Ice-making is a monopoly technology and needs to be strictly protected to avoid leakage.

He thought about it for a long time and finally realized that he would not feel safe if the ice-making base was placed anywhere else. Wangyun Inn was heavily guarded and could be said to be the safest place in the entire Zhuque Street. So after discussing with the old man and getting his consent, he arranged to make ice here.

Ice is made in the underground palace of Wangyun Inn, and once it is completed, it is transported out by the Jinwu Guards for sale.

It is possible that during the transportation, the spies of the Five Surnames and Seven Families would find out, but so what? As long as the ice-making technology is well preserved, no one will know about it.

This is one of the purposes.

The second thing.

I feel very comfortable here, of course I come here to escape the summer heat.

The ice room here is really suitable for fishing. "Your Majesty, Xiao Sizi and Changle are here."

Empress Changsun came over at this time, followed by Princess Changle and Xiao Sizi.

"Oh? Hahaha! You guys are here. Come here, little Sizi, let your father hug you, a great contributor!"

Li Shimin was very pleased. He stepped forward with open arms, picked up little Sizi from Princess Changle's arms, and rubbed the little guy hard.

"Damn it, Father, stop rubbing me! Your tattered beard is about to prick my ass to death, I'm so angry!"

Little Sizi was very disgusted.

"That's...Okay, Father, please listen to our little Sizi."

Li Shimin was very hurt as he was rejected by his beloved daughter again.

I didn't go there again.

He planned to shave his beard when he got back so that he wouldn't be looked down upon when he rubbed against Xiao Sizi in the future.

Looking at the behavior of the father and daughter, Empress Changsun and Princess Changle behind them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Little Sizi, you came to your second brother's place today, are you here to play?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

He really wanted to hear little Sizi say yes, that way, maybe the little guy could discover something amazing again.

And the next moment, Xiao Sizi's answer made him extremely happy.

Little Sizi said without hesitation: "Yes, I need to find something!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Li Shimin laughed so hard that he quickly put Xiao Sizi on the ground, squatted down and said, "Xiao Sizi, go quickly, do whatever you want, your father supports you, remember, have fun."

Ice was discovered by Xiao Sizi through his free play.

Therefore, Li Shimin did not want to restrain Xiao Sizi.

Just let your little treasure hunter do what he wants!
"Okay! Then Father, Sizi is leaving! See you later!"

Xiao Sizi did not stay for long. He waved goodbye to Li Shimin and turned away.

Li Shimin stood up and signaled to Princess Changle next to him with his eyes. Princess Changle understood and immediately followed Xiao Sizi.

"Your Majesty, do you think our little Sizi can find something good this time?"

Empress Changsun came over at this time.

Li Shimin looked at the back of the little Sizi walking happily and said with a smile: "It would be great if we can find it, but even if we can't find it, what's the harm?"

"It is most important that Xiao Sizi can walk out of the shadow of that night. Now it seems that she has walked out of it. I am very happy!"

"Okay, let's not talk about Xiao Sizi anymore. Guanyin, do you know the sales volume of this ice cube?"

Ice cube sales….
Empress Chang Sun really didn't know this. She only knew that Li Shimin excitedly pulled her to the Prince of Chu's Mansion at noon. When they arrived at the ice-making place, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Is it? Very good?"

Empress Changsun asked with a smile.

Although it is a question, it is actually a certainty.

It was just that Li Shimin might have wanted to express himself at this time, so he spoke in this way.

"Hahaha, not bad, more than good."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, raised a finger and said, "One hour. Wei Zheng told me that the ice cubes were only delivered for one hour. Before he had time to spread the news, those children of the noble families came quickly like vicious dogs smelling delicious food and bought all of them back."

"Once upon a time, I had to pay a high price to buy things from them, but now! I am also qualified to make them subject to me!"

Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back, looking full of vigor and vitality.

Let the noble families buy things from his Li family.

not easy.

The aristocratic families have been covering various industries in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and they already have everything they need. It's really not easy!

Li Yuan couldn't do it back then, but today, he succeeded!

Of course, all of this is because of Master Qin.

If it weren’t for Master Qin.

He will only be controlled by the aristocratic family.

Li Shimin was extremely happy to have such a talented person to help him.

Same time.

And increasingly worried.

Young Master Qin is too dazzling. My daughter Changle is in love with him. But...can he really like her?
If Master Qin refuses, what will happen to his daughter?

Li Shimin was extremely worried.

Changle's identity as a princess is enough to match anyone, and anyone else would be considered high-class. But when it comes to Qin Changye, Li Shimin is worried that his daughter is not worthy of him.

This is really incredible.

Li Shimin himself found it outrageous, but it was also the fact.

"Why…."

Unable to figure it out, Li Shimin sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we must protect this place even better and prevent the technology from leaking out."

At this time, Empress Changsun spoke and brought Li Shimin back to his senses.

Li Shimin nodded and smiled: "Guanyin, you are right."

"But in fact, this place doesn't really need our protection, because this is Wangyun Inn, the base camp of the immortal, including Master Qin."

Slight sigh.

The base camp of the immortal must be safer than anywhere else.

"Okay, Guanyin, let's go. I'll take you to see this huge ice-making place. It was built in just one day. How fast and exquisite it is!"

Li Shimin took Empress Changsun on a tour.

Along the way, Empress Changsun was amazed again and again.

This place was built very quickly.

She couldn't help but be shocked by the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry.

Simultaneously,

Li Shimin also revealed that the price of ice cubes was going to increase. If they were sold out too quickly, it would mean that the market was huge and the price needed to be raised step by step until the bottom line was tested and there was no way they would be sold out as soon as they appeared, so the price would be fixed near that level.

As for putting ice for sale, Li Shimin did not plan to put too much in. Scarcity makes things valuable, so it is enough to put some in every once in a while. If it is put in all the time, even the most precious things will become common goods.

Simultaneously.

Ice has a time limit. Now it is September and the hot summer is about to pass. Making money from it is not a long-term solution.

Chatted a lot.

But half an hour later, bad news came.

A guard from Wangyun Inn who was accompanying the two princesses came back and reported, "Your Majesty, something happened to His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun turned pale.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Li Shimin, who was a slave to his daughter, looked anxious and asked quickly.

Although Empress Changsun did not speak, her anxious look said it all.

The Wangyun Inn guard shook his head and said, "I don't know the details either."

"I only know that within this half hour, His Highness Little Sizi discovered another secret passage."

Oh my God!
Discovered it again!

Li Shimin widened his eyes, it had to be our little treasure hunter Xiao Sizi.
