Su Yichen looked at the somewhat excited young man and asked, "Who are you?"

At this moment, the young man who resembled Li Shimin also realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Greetings, Immortal Master. I am Li Ke, the Prince of Shu."

Upon hearing the name Li Ke, the Prince of Shu, Su Yichen curiously sized him up.

He knew of Li Ke, the Prince of Shu, who was the most virtuous of Li Shimin's sons, but it seems that he was killed by Changsun Wuji in the end.

"So it's His Highness the Prince of Shu!" Su Yichen cupped his hands in greeting.

Next, under Li Shimin's introduction, Su Yichen also met his many sons.

This includes Crown Prince Li Chengqian and that chubby Prince Wei, Li Tai.

But didn't Li Shimin say he was going to introduce a wife to him?

Why didn't any of his daughters come out? Su Yichen wondered.

Just then, two girls who were about his age walked over.

The one in the lead wore a palace robe, her small face as beautiful as a peach blossom, giving her an air of timeless beauty.

She does indeed bear some resemblance to Empress Zhangsun.

The woman beside him was dressed similarly, in a purple palace robe.

Yes, there's a saying that's absolutely true; purple really does have a lot of charm.

He was so captivated by it that he was somewhat lost in thought, especially since he hadn't had a girlfriend in his previous life, even during his university years.

Before Su Yichen could even get over, the little baby from before immediately rushed over.

"Sister Lizhi, Sister Yuzhang!"

"Alright, little Sisi, stop fooling around!"

Seeing the little dumpling rushing towards her, Li Lizhi bent down and gently picked him up.

"Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang greet Mr. Su!" Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang bowed to Su Yichen at the same time.

In fact, it wasn't just Su Yichen who was observing them.

They had been watching Su Yichen for a long time, having already heard that their father was going to marry one of his princesses to him.

I used to think that capable people would all look similar to the ministers in the imperial court.

I never expected that Master Su would be so handsome, and he also has a mysterious aura about him.

Thinking about it made her blush.

At this moment, Li Shimin walked over and said, "How is it? My daughter is quite good, isn't she?"

"Your Majesty, I think your suggestion is excellent. Marriage is a good thing, we must get married!" Su Yichen said with a smile.

"Haha, that's good. But which one do you prefer?" Li Shimin had previously worried that Su Yichen, a cultivator, might be averse to women like a monk, but now it seems his worries were unfounded.

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Su Yichen's expression changed.

"Um, what's that?" Su Yichen asked in surprise.

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, but then he realized what was happening and patted Su Yichen on the shoulder.

"Fine, fine, you little rascal, you even managed to take food and bribes!" Li Shimin was so angry he laughed.

Unexpectedly, this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was such a shameless person.

However, he likes it!

Su Yichen naturally didn't care about Li Shimin's words; having many children meant having many blessings!

"Your Majesty, there's no better time than tomorrow. Why don't we hold the wedding tomorrow?" Su Yichen said excitedly.

Li Shimin naturally disagreed, let alone his royal daughter.

Even for ordinary people's children, it's not possible to meet them today and marry them tomorrow.

Finally, after much back and forth between the two sides, the date was set when Su Yichen returned from his western expedition.

Empress Zhangsun then invited Su Yichen to sit down and eat.

Since it was a family banquet, it was naturally not like the banquets held for ministers where each person had their own table.

Instead, they sat down together for a meal.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty already had a Hu stool, with a square table in front of it.

During the banquet, Su Yichen kept serving food to the two princesses.

This made them blush, but they couldn't refuse.

The little baby in Empress Zhangsun's arms became anxious when he saw that his favorite dishes had been put into the bowls of his two older sisters.

"Young master, I can't eat this much, please put your food here!" Little Sizi said, pointing to her bowl with her face flushed.

This made everyone present burst into laughter.

Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai, unusually, did not engage in open or covert struggles here.

Just as everyone was about to finish eating, Li Ke, who was lost in thought, suddenly toasted Su Yichen with a glass of wine.

"Immortal Master, I have a request, and I beg you to grant it!" Li Ke pleaded with Su Yichen.

Even Li Shimin did not expect that his son, who resembled him the most, could speak.

"Okay, go ahead and say it!" Su Yichen took out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

"I heard today that you are going to lead 50,000 troops to conquer the Qin Dynasty in the west. Please give me a chance to go with you to fight on the battlefield!" Li Ke said earnestly.

He was the emperor's third son, and also the son least likely to inherit the throne.

Because his mother was Yang Guifei, not Empress Zhangsun.

Moreover, his maternal grandfather was Emperor Yang of Sui, meaning he possessed the bloodline of two emperors.

Therefore, the entire court of officials would absolutely not allow him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

He should have been the most honored person in the world, but now he is in such an awkward position.

But ironically, he was Li Shimin's most capable son.

Whether it's Li Chengqian or Li Tai, whoever ascends the throne will not have a good time for him.

Why not follow Su Yichen on the western expedition now? Not only can you showcase your talents.

Perhaps they can still have a chance to survive and not worry about being imprisoned after they ascend the throne.

Li Shimin saw through his son's intentions, but did not stop him.

What he least wanted to see was his own tragedy unfold.

"You really want to come with me on this western expedition? It's incredibly dangerous there. Not only are there battles between mortals, but there are also monsters causing trouble!" Su Yichen said seriously. "You might end up with nothing and lose your life in vain!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke remained unmoved, declaring, "I am willing to clear all obstacles for my Great Tang!"

"Good!" Even Li Shimin couldn't help but clap his hands after hearing this.

As expected of his son who resembled him the most, he devised a plan to scare away the enemy army and save Emperor Yang of Sui when he was sixteen years old.

Unfortunately, as emperor, he was never able to go to the battlefield again.

Now that he has a son who shares his childhood aspirations, it couldn't be better.

"Alright, you can stay by Li Jing's side for now!" Su Yichen agreed.

Since Li Shimin, his father-in-law, had already agreed, what else could he do?

We can't refuse him, can we? Anyway, it's Li Jing who's in charge, so he doesn't need to worry about it!
