The next day.

Lizheng Palace!

"Your Majesty, everyone is here and is waiting in the imperial study."

Li Shimin, who was dressed in casual clothes, nodded. "Guanyin, wait for a moment, I'll be back soon!"

Empress Changsun bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, political affairs are more important. I and others will wait for you at the palace gate first!"

"That's good!"

He glanced at Wang Defa, got up and walked towards Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, yesterday my men found out that the third prince was only twelve years old, and the Princess of the Western Regions was only 28 years old and looked..."

Wang Defa stretched his left hand to his sleeve, hesitating whether to give the portrait of the Princess of the Western Regions to the emperor for review. It was because Li Shimin specifically told him yesterday that the age and appearance of the Princess of the Western Regions needed to be found out clearly.

"Well, how does she look?" Li Shimin asked without stopping when he saw Wang Defa speak.

"Your Majesty, according to the eunuchs' report, the princess of the Western Regions is outstanding, novel and unconventional..."

Old Wang was really at a loss for words, and the eunuchs were limited in knowledge and could not describe anything. "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the princess of the Western Regions drawn by the eunuchs..." Helplessly, Wang Defa ran to Li Shimin and presented the portrait to him.

Li Shimin stopped in his tracks out of curiosity and took the 'portrait'.

There was a nose and eyes on the portrait, but no facial features could be seen except for the wavy long hair flowing down.

It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman!

"Old man, are you old and suffering from a brain disease!"

"Show me this thing?"

Li Shimin glared at Wang Defa in front of him, and couldn't find the right words to scold Old Wang for a while, so he threw the 'portrait' to the ground.

"Humph!" He snorted coldly and continued to move forward with his sleeves.

Old Wang quickly picked up the portrait on the ground, although the painting was ugly.

You can't litter in the palace, right?

"Who painted this? Go back and kick him hard!" Li Shimin felt insulted after seeing the portrait of the Princess of the Western Regions.

"Here! I will kick that boy to death!"

Even if the emperor didn't say it, the old king was still thinking about the eunuch in his heart, causing him to suffer an undeserved disaster.

Being scolded by the emperor early in the morning!

"Your Majesty, the prince and princess of the Western Regions gave themselves Chinese names, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu." The old king picked up the "portrait" and caught up with Li Shimin to continue reporting, "I heard from the eunuch that the third prince is a chatterbox, and he is very talkative!"

Li Shimin heard this and didn't care about these trivial details.

The eunuch who was sent to inquire about the news was also quite smart. He found Atana when he went to the Honglu Hall.

These news were all told to the eunuch by Atana, and the portrait was also painted based on Atana's description.

Atana couldn't describe the appearance of the Princess of the Western Regions. But he still remembers the high nose bridge and long curly hair.

After a while, Li Shimin strode into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, my dear ministers!" Li Shimin took the first seat and turned to look at everyone.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Laohei returned to the mansion from the military camp yesterday evening, and someone notified them to enter the palace early in the morning.

When Wei Zheng saw Li Shimin wearing casual clothes and came to the imperial study, he stepped forward and wanted to teach Li Shimin how to be an emperor with a set of ways to be a monarch.

Seeing this, Li Shimin spoke first and said, "Everyone, Su Chen has something important to discuss with me, and I will trouble you to take care of the affairs of the court today." As soon as he entered the imperial study, he began to pay attention to Wei Zheng. How could he let him speak?

After speaking, Li Shimin observed Wei Zheng's movements, and as expected, Wei Zheng moved.

Li Shimin took the lead again and said, "I have prepared a sumptuous hot pot for you, my dear ministers, and I will send someone to deliver it to Ganlu Palace at noon!"

Changsun Wuji showed an expression of "I knew it". The yaks from the Western Regions had just arrived yesterday. The purpose of the emperor's visit to the manor was obvious.

Li Shimin gave Changsun Wuji a "threatening" look.

Changsun Wuji immediately took the lead and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng saw that the emperor was determined not to let him speak, and symbolically followed him to bow and thank him.

It happened that the crown prince was not in the palace at the moment, and the emperor was going out again. If it were the former Wei Tietou, he would see if he could scold the emperor to tears.

Discussing important matters with Su Chen, I'm afraid it's not about how to eat beef!

Li Shimin paid close attention to Wei Zheng's reaction. Seeing that he kept his mouth shut, he finally felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

If he was blocked from leaving the palace today, Li Shimin was worried that he would never be able to raise his head in front of Su Chen in the future.

"My dear ministers, it's getting late. I have something to do and I'll go first!"

The emperor bowed to the ministers and quickly left the imperial study.

I'm afraid that something might happen if I delay!

At the palace gate, Li Junxian, the commander of the imperial guards, had already prepared everything.

Empress Changsun and the other three imperial concubines were waiting at the Suzaku Gate with their maids.

Li Shimin only brought the old king and Li Junxian this time, and did not bring any other close relatives and ministers. The prince was not in the palace, so he must have a trusted minister.I will stay in the palace.

"Guanyin! Hurry up, leave now!"

Li Shimin hurriedly walked towards Empress Changsun and the others, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Empress Changsun smiled, it was rare to see the emperor in such a mess, and turned around and got on the carriage first.

About two quarters of an hour later, the carriage drove out of Mingde Gate and drove on Changle Avenue, and Li Shimin's tense heart was completely relieved.

Empress Changsun and the other four people in the carriage looked at the tense emperor with interest.

"Guanyin, are you making fun of your husband?" Li Shimin adjusted his sitting posture and put on an air of dominating the world.

"How dare I make fun of my husband!" Empress Changsun smiled softly with her lips covered.

Li Shimin nodded proudly, "Well, that's good! Your husband won't bother with you."

"Erlang, did you find out the details of the prince and princess of the Western Regions yesterday?" Empress Changsun's gossip heart is no less than others. Before, they had seen envoys from other vassal states in the Western Regions, but they had never seen people from the Western Regions.

It was inevitable that they were curious about the prince and princess of the Western Regions who came this time.

"The third prince of the Western Regions is about the same age as Li You, and the princess is only 28 years old." Li Shimin smiled faintly, he knew Empress Changsun too well.

As long as it doesn't involve political affairs, she is very gossipy!

"Oh! How does the princess of the Western Regions look like?" Empress Changsun continued to ask, looking at Li Shimin with expectation.

Li Shimin didn't know how to answer, and thought of something and laughed, "Appearance? Haha... You wait!"

After speaking, Li Shimin knocked on the checkered wooden board in front of the carriage for transmitting messages.

"Your Majesty!" Old Wang in the driver's seat responded.

"Bring the portrait of the Princess of the Western Regions!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and ordered.

"Here!" The old king took out the portrait and handed it into the carriage.

"Guanyin, you can take a look. The Princess of the Western Regions is stunningly beautiful!" Li Shimin handed a portrait of the Princess of the Western Regions, which was the size of an A4 paper, to Empress Changsun, and added a very pertinent sentence:

"Her appearance is as beautiful as yours!"

Empress Changsun was instantly surprised that the emperor could describe a woman with stunning appearance.

There are not many!

Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Wei immediately surrounded Empress Changsun. They wanted to see how beautiful the Princess of the Western Regions was!

The portrait unfolded...

"Erlang, who painted this picture?" Empress Changsun turned the paper several times, but she couldn't tell that it was a portrait of a person.

Empress Changsun laughed in anger and stuffed it back to Li Shimin.

"Haha, I don't know either!"

Li Shimin folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.
