My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Faced with her son's hysterical rage.

Li Shimin was not angry at all; instead, he patted Li Chen on the shoulder with a kind expression.

They started a forced deception mode comparable to that of a charlatan.

"Chen'er, don't be anxious. You can't judge things by appearances alone."

Li Shimin pointed at the extremely cross-eyed woman and explained in a serious tone.

"Look at these eyes, one looking left, one looking right. In fortune telling, this is called 'seeing in all directions!' Marrying her will ensure your wealth is never lost; she'll keep a close watch on your Prince Qin's treasury!"

Li Shimin then pointed to the chubby girl with the super tank.

"And look at this one, broad-minded and robust, like a mountain. That's what you call 'as stable as Mount Tai'! With her in the backyard, the feng shui and fortune of your Prince Qin's mansion will be absolutely secure, and no one can shake it!"

Finally, Li Shimin pointed at the bearded, muscular woman, his tone becoming increasingly agitated.

"As for this long-bearded girl, she's even more extraordinary!"

"A woman growing a beard is a sign of abundant yang energy! This is called 'yang protecting the body'! Marry her, and no evil spirits, demons, or wandering ghosts will dare to approach you even a step!"

Li Shimin sighed deeply.

"I'm doing this all for your own good! These auspicious meanings are something that no amount of spirit stones could buy!"

"I didn't believe your nonsense!"

Li Chen was so angry that he almost drew his natal immortal sword on the spot and staged a patricide tragedy in the Qin Prince's mansion.

"If it's for good symbolism, why don't you add them to your harem!"

"Don't try to fool me with this fallacy! Take these worthless things away right now!"

The father and son were in the backyard, using these oddly shaped scrolls.

A heated argument ensued, with spittle flying everywhere.

The sound was so loud that even the guards in the front yard could hear it clearly.

Just as the father and son were arguing fiercely and about to come to blows,

"Squeak—"

The moon gate in the backyard was gently pushed open.

Empress Zhangsun walked in carrying a plate of freshly made osmanthus cakes, her face full of doubt.

"What are you two arguing about so early in the morning?"

The Empress's voice was gentle and soft, yet it carried an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

I heard this sound.

Just moments ago, Li Shimin was spitting as he debated with the scholars.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and froze on the spot.

His body trembled violently.

Those eyes, which had been so smug just moments before, were instantly filled with terror and panic.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Li Shimin's hands turned into a blurry afterimage.

With a terrifyingly fast hand speed that one could only develop after decades of being single, he rolled up the photos on the table and in mid-air.

They were all instantly swept into his storage space!

then.

The Tang emperor quickly turned around, a smile that was more like a grimace than a cry, yet extremely obsequious.

He rushed forward and carefully took the plate of pastries from the Empress's hands.

"Guanyinbi, you... why are you here?"

Li Shimin bowed and scraped, his face beaming with smiles.

"You misheard, nothing's wrong. I was just discussing the path to immortality and exchanging views on the laws of heaven and earth with Chen'er! My voice might have been a little too loud."

Looking at my dad's opportunistic and cowardly appearance...

A dangerously wicked smile flashed in Li Chen's eyes.

Ok.

Are you trying to scam me? Are you trying to stuff a supermodel into my body?

What goes around comes around. Today I'll show you what it means to put righteousness before family!

"Hehehe..."

Li Chen chuckled twice and jumped out from behind Li Shimin.

"Mother! You've come at the perfect time! I have something to tell you, Father just took..."

"boom!"

Li Chen had only gotten halfway through his complaint.

Li Shimin's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

He didn't have time to think at all and directly mobilized the enormous Void Refinement stage mana within his body!

A golden silencing spell was cast, accompanied by a spatial blockade.

Without any mercy, it smashed directly onto Li Chen!

"Mmmmmm!"

Li Chen's mouth was instantly sealed shut by an invisible force, and his hands and feet were also immobilized by spatial forces.

All it could do was stare wide-eyed and let out angry whimpers.

Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly as she watched this scene.

"Your Majesty, why are you casting a spell on Chen'er?"

Li Shimin was covered in sweat, which dripped down his cheeks.

He forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Guanyinbi, to tell you the truth!"

Li Shimin spoke at lightning speed, almost like he was firing off a machine gun.

"An urgent military report has just arrived from the Ministry of War! The Star Defense Line has changed!"

"The situation is urgent; I must immediately take Chen'er back to the secret chamber of the Taiji Palace to discuss countermeasures!"

"That brat is used to being lazy and absolutely refuses to go. I had no choice but to forcibly take him with me!"

That's all.

Li Shimin didn't give Empress Zhangsun a chance to continue asking questions.

He grabbed Li Chen, who was imprisoned like a mummy.

It directly activated the most energy-consuming spatial teleportation technique.

"Whoosh—!"

Space distorted violently.

The Tang emperor, accompanied by the Prince of Qin, vanished in an instant from the backyard of the Prince of Qin's residence, like stray dogs.

He ran so swiftly and decisively.

Empress Zhangsun looked at the empty courtyard with a blank expression.

"Is there an urgent matter at the Ministry of War? Why didn't I hear the bell when I arrived?"

She turned her head and looked at Sizi, who was sitting at the stone table, still intently eating a meat bun.

"Sizi, what exactly were your father and sixteenth brother arguing about just now?"

Sizi swallowed the meat filling from the steamed bun in his mouth.

He picked up the small teacup next to him and took a sip of water.

He answered very honestly and obediently:

"Mother, Father just had some scrolls of photos of some very unusual-looking young ladies."

"He said these are all young ladies from respectable families, and he wants to introduce them to his sixteenth brother as concubines."

Empress Zhangsun's eyes twitched slightly.

Her woman's intuition made her keenly aware of the unusual nature of this matter.

"Oh? What kind of peculiar young lady?"

Si Zi put down his teacup and immediately perked up.

The little girl stood up and began her incredibly lifelike imitation show without hesitation.

She first stretched out two fingers and squeezed the corners of her eyes hard.

He squeezed his two big, dark eyes into an extremely exaggerated cross-eyed shape.

"Father said this is called having eyes that can see in all directions, and being able to spot the treasury!"

Followed by.

Sizi took a deep breath, puffing out her pink cheeks like a big ball.

With heavy steps, I awkwardly took two steps in place.

"Father said this is called 'Stable as Mount Tai,' and it can ward off evil spirits and protect the house!"
