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

Chapter 117 Something big happened, little Sizi got into trouble!

but,

Since we have found a new place, shouldn't we be happy? Why did something go wrong?

After all, this is the underground palace of Wangyun Inn. How could Master Qin set a trap in his own back garden?
And the one who went to explore was Xiao Sizi. Most of the mechanisms in this underground palace need Xiao Sizi to decipher.

It might be dangerous for others to explore this place, but Xiao Sizi, you shouldn't do that!

Li Shimin didn't understand.

The Wangyun Inn guard continued, "After the new secret passage appeared, His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle walked in. They did not let me and other Wangyun Inn guards in. I and other colleagues waited outside for about two quarters of an hour when we heard His Royal Highness Xiao Sizi scream in panic."

"I wanted to go in, but after walking for a while, Princess Changle came over with a pale face and told us not to go in and to come quickly to inform His Majesty and the Queen."

this! !

Li Shimin's eyes widened.

Princess Changle, who was usually gentle, turned pale.

You know, the eldest daughter is the kind of person who can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. Even she is like this!
This, this, this….
Something big must have happened!
Li Shimin hurriedly asked the guard of Wangyun Inn to lead the way, as he wanted to go and see how badly his daughters were injured.

Empress Changsun also hurriedly followed, extremely anxious.

When the two men arrived at the secret passage, there was only a small door, so Li Shimin and Empress Changsun hurriedly walked in.

The other guards of Wangyun Inn stayed where they were. This was the order of His Highness Xiao Sizi, and they would only follow it.

Empress Changsun also hurriedly followed, extremely anxious.

When the two men arrived at the secret passage, there was only a small door, so Li Shimin and Empress Changsun hurriedly walked in.

Enter the secret passage.

quickly,

Li Shimin found Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle.

"Wow! Father, you're here!"

When Xiao Sizi saw Li Shimin, he quickly ran over, with tears in his eyes, and hugged Li Shimin's thighs.

"Hey, little Sizi, what's wrong?"

Li Shimin was a little flustered.

But he also felt relieved because he found that neither of them was injured, so at least he didn't have to worry about their physical condition anymore.

Little Sizi's lips were trembling at this time. He looked up and said pitifully, "Father... Sizi, Sizi is in trouble."

"Sizi...Sizi broke a piece of second brother's big crystal. Wuwuwu, Sizi...Sizi didn't do it on purpose. Sizi just wanted to touch it."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He thought it was something.

It turns out it was about breaking things.

This is a trivial matter!
His little daughter was quite naughty and used to break things often, especially at the Ministry of Industry. Du Chuke would come and complain from time to time, and he would arrange for compensation for her every time.

If you break something, you just have to pay for it. It's a simple matter.

And Crystal….
This thing might be very precious to the common people, but for the Tang Dynasty royal family, the compensation is a bit difficult, but not a big problem.

His precious daughter found so many good things for him, Li Shimin asked himself, I will definitely pay for these things.

"It's okay, little Sizi, it's just a piece of crystal, it's just a small problem."

"But you, little troublemaker, are you scared? Come, let father see if it is the same as before."

Li Shimin gently rubbed Xiao Sizi's head, then grabbed the little girl's elbows with both hands and pushed her away, looking at her whole body carefully.

Fortunately, everything is really fine.

Now Li Shimin was completely relieved.

At this time, Empress Changsun also nodded and said with a sullen smile: "Little Sizi, look how scared you are."

"I've never seen you so scared when you broke other people's or other officials' things before. What's wrong? Are you so distressed and scared when you see that it was your second brother who broke things?"

After she finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Sizi still couldn't stop crying, Empress Chang Sun stepped forward, squatted down, and used her sleeves to wipe Xiao Sizi's tears.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, Sizi, and don't worry. Your Majesty and your mother will help you arrange it."

She thought for a moment, looked at Li Shimin beside her, and said, "Your Majesty, I remember that not long ago, we got a large piece of crystal. Why not...give it to Master Qin?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I remember this crystal. It was obtained by a Tang merchant from a merchant from the Western Regions. It was as big as a palm."

"I have never seen such a large crystal in my life. It is crystal clear and extremely bright. The quality of that piece of crystal is top-notch and unprecedented. If such a crystal is made into a crystal cup, it will definitely be a priceless treasure."

"I have carefully examined the crystal. It seems that I can even see the patterns on the back through the crystal. This is why it is considered a priceless treasure."

"There is only one piece of this crystal. I have cherished it very much in the past. Now... well, well, I will give it to Master Qin."

"Since he has helped us so much and taken care of you, Father reluctantly gave him up."

Li Shimin reluctantly gave it up. After all, Qin Changye had indeed helped him a lot recently, and he had not yet given him any reward. This crystal was just a bonus, a small reward.

"Don't cry, Sizi. Look, your father has relented. When we get back, your mother will personally send someone to deliver it to your second brother."

"I think your second brother will be happy when he sees the crystal when he comes back."

Empress Changsun was all smiles.

This is because I am happy that Your Majesty dotes on his little daughter so much.

however.

Little Sizi was still worried. He thought for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally asked tentatively: "Mother, I have seen the crystal that father has, and it seems... it seems not enough. Are there any other crystals in the palace?"

"If you have any, give them all to my second brother. Wuwuwu, Sizi really doesn't want to come back and be blamed by my second brother. Sizi is really a big sinner!"

Little Sizi threw himself into Empress Changsun's arms and cried bitterly.

Ok?
what's the situation?
What are you talking about? Giving all the crystals in the palace to Qin Changye?
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both stunned at this moment.

Then, Li Shimin smiled helplessly.

He was wondering if Xiao Sizi was taking the opportunity to ask her second brother for something?
Empress Changsun thought the same thing and said angrily, "Little Sizi, don't be like this."

"The Queen Mother and your father both know that your second brother has made great contributions. They will send you good things in the future. There is no need to beg for things for your second brother."

“But…but…” Xiao Sizi hesitated to speak.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Little Sizi, if you have seen that crystal, you will know that this is absolutely enough. That crystal is a rare treasure. Your father was very kind to Kuan'er by giving it up with great pain."

Li Shimin on the side laughed.

The one who knows his heart must be a servant of Guanyin.

He couldn't say these words on the spot, so it would be best if he had Guanyin tell them to Xiao Sizi so that he could know what a huge price he, Li Shimin, had paid.

"Wuwuwu, mother, it's really not enough. Sizi is not talking nonsense. You have to believe Sizi."

Xiao Sizi still sticks to his own opinion.

She choked up and continued, "Mother, the crystal that Sizi broke my second brother's piece of crystal is ten feet long and ten feet wide... Father's palm-sized crystal is too small! It's only enough to fill a little gap in my second brother's crystal."

"And, mother, my second brother's crystal is of the highest quality. You can't even imagine it. Sizi can see the object on the other side of the crystal through the crystal. It's like there's nothing in between." This...
Ten feet wide? Ten feet long?
Can you still see the scene on the other side without any obstruction?

Li Shimin's mouth twitched.

What kind of joke is this? !

What does one zhang mean? That's more than three meters. A crystal the size of a palm is already a rare treasure in the world, so how could there be a crystal that's three meters long?

He had been a soldier throughout his life and had seized countless rare treasures, but he had never seen this kind of crystal.

impossible things!

Moreover, there was nothing in between? As if they were blind to it? This was even more unbelievable!
It can only exist in legends, right?

He looked at Empress Changsun and found that the palace was as stunned as he was, and was smiling bitterly.

Little Sizi looked up and saw the expressions of the two people. He gritted his teeth and chopped off his foot: "Mother, Father, if you don't believe Sizi, then ask Sister!"

Changle!

Oh, right! Changle!
The two of them instantly discovered something strange and suddenly realized it.

It's not their fault. They were just worried about Xiao Sizi's anxiety, so they forgot about it.

Look at Princess Changle.

Princess Changle smiled bitterly and said, "Father, Your Majesty, what Xiao Sizi said is correct. The crystal is really ten feet long. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"But it does exist, so after Xiao Sizi smashed it, Changle concealed the news and waited for Father and Mother to come to discuss how to make the most appropriate arrangements."

Surprised!

Even Changle said so!
Li Shimin and his wife could no longer ignore it.

Li Shimin's face suddenly became serious. If it was true as Changle said, such a large crystal was broken, it would be a big disaster. Maybe it was Master Qin's treasure?
He quickly picked up Little Sizi, constantly soothing Little Sizi's shoulders with his hands, looking at Princess Changle, and said seriously: "Come on, Changle, take me and your mother to see it."

Princess Changle nodded and hurriedly led the way.

On the road.

Little Sizi was in a panic, mumbling, "Father, Sizi really got into a big trouble. Woohoo, that crystal is really big. I'm afraid all the crystals in the palace combined wouldn't be enough to pay for it."

"What if my second brother finds out about this and I'm disliked by him? Help! I really didn't mean it. Second brother, I... I don't have the face to see you anymore, wuwuwu."

The more he spoke, the redder little Sizi's eyes became.

It's an uncontrollable panic.

Afraid of Qin Changye, therefore hates her.

Li Shimin patted her back and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay. Your second brother is magnanimous and will not hate our little Sizi."

"If we really can't afford to compensate for the crystal, then...we can just admit our mistakes and say that it was all our fault!"

For the sake of his precious daughter, he is willing to take the blame.

"Father, I don't want that!"

"My second brother has taught me that everyone is responsible for their own actions. You must be brave, Sizi!"

"Father, please don't admit the guilt on behalf of Sizi. Father did nothing wrong. It was Sizi who was wrong."

Even though he was extremely scared, little Sizi still kept the King of Chu's teachings in mind.

This….
Li Shimin had no choice.

We can only hope that the crystals in the palace will be enough to compensate us.

When the family of four came near the broken crystal, Li Shimin's eyes widened instantly.

stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

Big crystal, really big!

Li Shimin's throat suddenly felt dry, and his head went blank.

All I saw were pieces of debris evenly distributed on the ground.

These fragments are countless.

Some of them broke into pieces that were even larger than the crystals he had just regarded as treasures.

Is this crystal?

You call this crystal?

This... this, this, this must be a divine object that fell from the sky!
Behind him, Empress Chang Sun was also stunned for a moment, shocked by the scene before her.

I originally thought that Xiao Sizi had only broken some small things, but now it seems that I was totally wrong!
This thing is probably priceless!
"It seems, as if, that we can only discuss how to get Mr. Qin to calm down his anger."

Empress Changsun really couldn't figure out what compensation to give, so how about playing the emotional card?

Seeing that even the wisest and most powerful mother couldn't do anything, little Sizi burst into tears: "Wow, mother, Sizi will never run around again, help! Such a good thing was broken by Sizi, Sizi... Sizi doesn't even know how to argue with my second brother."

Little Sizi was extremely sad.

Empress Changsun saw it with her own eyes and felt pain in her heart. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her precious daughter, saying gently, "Don't cry, Sizi. No one knows about this for the time being. Let's think of a solution here."

"See what we can do to make Master Qin less angry."

"Your Majesty, do you have any solution?"

Empress Changsun looked forward.

At this time, Li Shimin had a complicated look in his eyes. He picked up a piece and examined it carefully, saying, "Even broken crystals are so crystal clear. I can't do anything about it."

"I feel that all the crystals in the palace put together are not as precious as this crystal. I think it must be very important to Master Qin. If Master Qin blames Xiao Sizi, this is not what I want to see. What should I do about this matter?"

"How about...rewarding Young Master Qin with good farmland? Wait, I think I asked Fu Ji and Xuan Ling to give it to him before. A title? It doesn't seem to work either. Young Master Qin has always been a peaceful person, not fighting or competing. Rewarding him with a title might even cause trouble for him out of nowhere."

"Beauty? Then our daughter Changle, Master Qin has been with her for a long time but has not expressed his attitude. It seems that this is not going to work either."

Li Shimin had a huge headache.

It was not until now that he realized that he didn't even know what Qin Changye liked. What a failure.

"Father, Changle has heard that Master Qin likes fishing. How about giving Master Qin the best fish-raising land outside the palace?"

Princess Changle couldn't help but speak.

There was no such place for raising fish near Zhuque Street originally. Several of them were built because of Qin Changye.

A few days ago.

Qin Changye often went fishing. Sometimes he would come back with a few fish, sometimes with more than ten, and sometimes with nothing. Most of the fish he would give to Xiao Sizi for a full meal.

This also led to the fact that little Sizi liked eating fish very much.

Sometimes Qin Changye couldn't catch any fish, and Xiao Sizi was greedy, which gave him a headache.

in this way.

Li Shimin, who was obsessed with his daughter, waved his hand and ordered the Ministry of Works to build a fish pond near Zhuque Street at a huge cost to achieve self-sufficiency.
