Li Shimin was furious. He was ready to interrogate his daughter when she returned to the palace to see if Zhao Yi had taken advantage of her!
If he did, he would not let him off easily!
"Looks like this Zhao Buyi, Young Master Zhao, is indeed extraordinary. Not only does he cook well, but the wine he makes is also like the jade wine of the Immortal Palace.
Moreover, he seemed to be proficient in national affairs and some unorthodox sects.”
As the only person who had never seen Zhao Yi, Wei Zheng, who had only heard Tian Zi and the other three people talking about Zhao Yi, raised his wine glass and took a sip. He had a look of enjoyment on his face.
Wei Zheng didn't say anything about the emperor's plan to recruit a tavern owner as an official. The emperor hadn't said what official position he would give him.
He wasn't in a hurry to refute Tian Zi.
He was so happy that he took this opportunity to drink a few more cups of palace wine.
Li Shiming, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhangsun Wuji all looked at Wei Zheng with disdain.
Although they had prepared drinks today, the four of them did not touch anything from the beginning to the end.
Why?
Because compared to the wine brewed by Zhao Yi, this palace jade liquid was clearly water!
Extremely bland water!
Only people like Wei Zheng who had never tasted real wine would drink such water with relish and smile.
"Then let's do it this way for now. I have my own thoughts. When the time comes, you must know how to love talent and not nitpick on young men.”
Li Shimin only wanted to wait for his daughter Changle to return to the palace after he finished talking about Zhao Yi. It was obvious from his eyes that he wanted to chase her away.
However, Wei Zheng seemed to have drunk too much and did not notice Tian Zi's dark expression at all.
It was only when Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to bid farewell to the emperor that Wei Zheng reacted. He hurriedly stood up and tidied his robe.
"I will take my leave."
Li Shi Min waved his hand impatiently.
After Fang Xuanling and the other three left the royal study, Li Shimin ordered his men to remove the wine table and began pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
"Why hasn't Changle returned to the palace yet?"
The longer he waited, the more anxious Li Shiming became. His right eyelid kept twitching uncontrollably.
About an hour later.
"Your Majesty, the princess is back!"
Just as Li Shi Min was about to lose his patience, a voice came from outside.
Li Shi Min raised his eyes and stared at the door.
When he saw his cute little daughter cross the threshold, Li Shimin felt relieved. His eyes finally revealed a reassuring smile like an old father.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately pulled a long face. He walked behind the desk and sat down silently.
"Father!"
At the door, Li Lizhi walked over with a strange expression.
She put her hands behind her back as if she was hiding something, but her face was still as cute as ever.
Seeing her angry father, Li Lizhi used her usual method. She walked to her father's side and called out softly while pulling her father's sleeve with her fingers.
Li Shiming closed his eyes, looking very angry and difficult to coax.
However, after his daughter called him father a few times, Li Shiming couldn't help but open his eyes.
Looking up at his daughter, Li Shiming sighed in his heart and asked,"
"You went to look for that Zhao Buyi?"
Li Lizhi nodded.
"Who told you to go?"
Li Shi Min scolded.
Li Lizhi pouted her pink lips slightly. She felt wronged, but she didn't care. She didn't take her father's blame to heart.
Li Shiming was like any old father who was worried that his daughter would suffer outside. He asked,"Did that Zhao Buyi bully you?”
Li Lizhi was stunned and pushed her father away.
"Imperial Father, what are you saying? Why is Big Brother Zhao bullying your son?”
Li Shiming looked at his daughter suspiciously. Seeing his daughter burying her head in embarrassment and happiness, his heart sank.
An ominous premonition rose from Li Shiming's heart.
Although his daughter was unwilling to tell the truth, Li Shimin had his own ways to force her to speak.
He slammed his palm on the desk and said angrily,
"This Zhao Buyi is so bold to actually dare be rude to Zhen's daughter.”
Li Lizhi was stunned. She looked at her father and said anxiously,""Imperial Father, Big Brother Zhao really didn't bully your son!”
Li Shimin wanted to goad his daughter into action. On one hand, he wanted to make sure that Zhao Yi had not taken advantage of his daughter.
On the other hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to understand Zhao Yi's character in depth so that he could prepare for the future appointment.
Immediately, he continued to say with a straight face,
"You still don't want to tell the truth. It seems that I have to ask Imperial Father to capture him and interrogate him strictly!”
Li Shi Min said as if he was ready to order the Golden Guards to capture him.
Li Lizhi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at her father with a bitter expression.
After a moment of sulking, she whispered,"
"Your son wanted to help Imperial Father, so I went to find Big Brother Zhao.
Originally, your son had good news to tell Imperial Father, but now that Imperial Father has wrongly accused Big Brother Zhao, your son doesn't want to say it.”
Li Shi Min's expression changed. He rolled his eyes, and his face instantly changed. He asked with a smile,"Good daughter, what good news?"
Li Lizhi pouted and ignored her father.
Li Shimin was relieved after confirming that nothing had happened between his daughter and Zhao Yi. He had a deep understanding of Zhao Yi's character.
At the same time, he was curious about what good news his daughter had brought back.
"My dear daughter, isn't Father afraid that you'll be taken advantage of? Quickly tell Father what good news it is?”
Li Shi Min continued to coax her.
Li Lizhi wasn't really appeased at first. When she heard this, she finally stretched out the hand that had been behind her back and said as if she was presenting a treasure,
"Imperial Father, take a look. This is the shoe cover that Big Brother Zhao helped me improve.”
Li Shimin took the upgraded shoe covers from his daughter's hands and frowned as he thought for a while. Then, he suddenly realized something and was very excited.
"This... It was clearly just a simple change, but the quality seemed to have increased by a large margin!
Using such a circular serrated nail to replace the nail looked more stable. It was simply a genius design!
This Zhao Buyi, oh Zhao Buyi, what should this one say about him? Did he come up with so many ideas?”
Li Shi Min looked at the shoes in his hand and clicked his tongue in wonder.
He was completely different from before!
