Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

Li Shimin, oblivious to their shock, was completely absorbed in the large carriage. He turned to Guo Qian and asked bluntly, "Brother-in-law, may I learn how to drive this carriage?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yinxun slapped her forehead and exclaimed in annoyance, "Oh dear!"

The crisp sound startled the little princess who was not far away.

When the little girl heard her aunt making a noise, she thought she had bumped or hurt herself, so she immediately ran over quickly with her short legs.

"Auntie, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."

She tilted her small face up, her big eyes filled with anxiety and worry, and reached out to touch Li Yinxun's forehead.

Li Yinxun squatted down and gently rubbed her head: "It's okay, it's okay, Auntie was just thinking about something, she didn't bump her head."

After calming Sizi down, Li Yinxun put his arm around the little girl's shoulder.

"Come on, let's go with your aunt to give your father a gift."

Before the words were even finished, the two figures vanished instantly.

The ministers were so frightened that they took a step back. Before they could recover, a ripple appeared, and the two reappeared.

Beside them stood a large SUV with sharp lines and a gleaming paint.

It was the very same carriage that Li Yinxun had promised to give to Li Shimin.

This modern and powerful behemoth instantly captured everyone's attention the moment it appeared.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately, his face full of delight: "This is my carriage?"

Li Yinxun nodded with a smile: "Yes, this one is much easier to drive than that truck. We promised to give it to you a long time ago, and today is just right."

Li Shimin was delighted with it, like a child who had just received a new toy, nodding repeatedly: "Good! Good! I like it!"

Cheng Yaojin, standing to the side, watched with his eyes reddening, his heart overflowing with envy and jealousy.

He's straightforward and doesn't mince words; he just blurted them out:

"Your Majesty! This carriage is truly magnificent! Um... could you perhaps get one for my old Cheng as well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Jingde reached out and quietly tugged at Cheng Yaojin's sleeve, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth to remind him:

"Are you crazy? That's an imperial item, only His Majesty can sit on it. How dare you, a subject, ask for the same thing as His Majesty? That's overstepping your bounds!"

Cheng Yaojin was pulled so hard he stumbled, and he asked loudly and honestly, "Why are you pulling me? Why can't I have it? I, Old Cheng, have worked hard in battle, what's wrong with wanting a nice car to get around?"

Yuchi Jingde was furious with this fool.

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You charcoal head, all you know is wanting a carriage. Wait until you learn to drive before you talk about it."

Guo Qian and Li Yinxun stood to the side, exchanged a glance, and both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Just as the situation was becoming somewhat delicate, with the ministers all looking on expectantly but hesitant to ask for something, a soft, sweet voice broke the deadlock.

"Does Uncle Cheng like it?"

The little princess tilted her head back, looked at Cheng Yaojin with an expectant expression, blinked her big eyes, and patted her chest proudly, "I'll send you the money."

This remark was met with a burst of good-natured laughter.

Seeing his niece being so generous, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but chime in as well.

He chuckled and took half a step forward, feigning a wronged expression as he jokingly said:

"Oh dear, our little Jinyang is being biased! It's one thing for Cheng Yaojin to be a rough man, but how could he forget his own uncle? In terms of closeness, I'm your uncle, shouldn't I be ranked first?"

The sight of the elderly Emperor's brother-in-law acting coquettishly was quite comical.

The little princess frowned slightly, looked left and right, and her little brain was working at a rapid pace.

Adopting the airs of a wealthy young man, he made generous promises:

"My uncle gave one too, and Uncle Cheng gave one too."

In short, the ministers, who were initially somewhat reserved, saw their desires grow wildly like weeds upon hearing the little princess's golden words.

Everyone looked longing and eager to try, hoping to own one of these novel vehicles that don't require horses and can travel a thousand miles a day.

A glint of light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes as he watched this scene.

He scoffed, "Alright, you're all in high positions, always spouting righteousness and morality, but when you see something new and interesting, you all act like children, coveting childish things."

"This carriage is a rare item and naturally has its value. If you want the carriage, you can exchange it for gold and silver treasures. Although I have bestowed many rewards upon you, if you want this divine steed, you will have to pay for it yourself."

Upon hearing this, the ministers were not displeased at all; on the contrary, they were all overjoyed.

If it can be solved with money, then it's not a problem!

Rather than owing the emperor a favor or having to swallow their pride and compete for favor in the court, they felt more at ease with transactions involving real money.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I am willing to pay the price!"

Everyone was filled with anticipation, some even calculating in their minds how many gold bars they could pull out of their family's storeroom.

Empress Zhangsun shook her head helplessly and had to speak up to bring everyone's thoughts back to the main topic.

"Alright, we can discuss the vehicles later. It's getting late, and those sweet potato vines can't be separated from the soil. The most important thing is to transport them to the royal estate and settle them properly. Let's not delay."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

When the Empress spoke, everyone remembered the important matter at hand.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes darted around, and he immediately stepped forward, volunteering loudly:

"Your Majesty, then I, Old Cheng, will take this young friend Guo to the Imperial Estate first."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at each other, secretly sighing inwardly.

Cheng Yaojin may appear careless and impulsive on the surface, but he is actually very shrewd.

Transporting grain seeds is of paramount importance. Going along will not only allow you to be among the first to encounter those divine objects, but also to curry favor with the immortals, making it easier to negotiate for vehicles in the future.

Li Shimin nodded in approval, "Approved. Zhijie must make sure to settle things properly."

"Understood."

Cheng Yaojin chuckled, turned around and waved to Guo Qian, "Young friend Guo, let's go."

Guo Qian smiled. Although Cheng Yaojin was impatient, he was indeed an easy person to get along with.

He nodded to Li Yinxun and Li Shimin, and then boarded the wagon with Cheng Yaojin.

With a roar of engines, the truck slowly drove out of the main road of the palace and headed towards the royal estate outside the city.

Li Shimin stood beside the carriage, turned around and looked at Li Yinxun with a look of eager anticipation in his eyes.

"Xiao Xun, may I drive this car now?"

Li Yinxun understood, took out the car keys from her pocket, and was about to teach him step by step how to press the clutch, how to shift gears, and how to accelerate.

Before she could even speak, the little princess beside her couldn't sit still anymore.

Raising her little hand high, she proudly declared, "I can drive! I'm awesome!"

Li Yinxun reached out and pinched her little cheek, praising her with a smile: "Yes, yes, our little princess is the most amazing. She can drive a car even before she's as tall as a car wheel."

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin gently shook his head, interrupting Li Yinxun's teaching preparations.

"I don't need you to teach me, I can open it myself."
