However, Ping Anlang was shocked by Li Shimin's kind behavior. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while. After a while, he said a little dull: "Your Majesty is so serious. Li Zhi and I have grown up together since childhood, so it is also worth taking care of her!"

Seeing his son so unintentional, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile helplessly. After all, Li Shimin had already said that Heianlang had taken care of Lizhi on his behalf, which also showed that he had actually acquiesced to the matter between Heianlang and Lizhi. Unfortunately, Heianlang was still too young and could not hear Li Shimin's implication.

When Li Shimin heard Ping Anlang's words, he laughed again. Then he asked Ping Anlang about his studies and even gave him several questions to answer. Ping Anlang is not only proficient in medicine, but also very hardworking in studying. The gentlemen invited by his family also praised him. Therefore, the questions raised by Li Shimin were not difficult for him, and he quickly expressed his views. Li Shimin nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Li Xiu, you have raised a good son!" In the end, Shimin also said to Li Xiu with envy. However, after he finished speaking, he showed a somewhat lonely expression. Compared to Li Xiu's children, there were not many children that were worry-free, especially when he thought of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he looked even more sad.

However, Li Shimin was not an ordinary person after all, and soon returned to normal. He encouraged Ping Anlang a few more words before he let him leave. Then Li Xiu continued to send him out. However, when he walked outside the gate, Li Shimin stopped again and asked Li Xiu, "Li Xiu, I remember Ping Anlang is already an adult, right?"

"Yes, Heianlang is already fifteen years old, and according to customs, he is indeed an adult." Li Xiu replied immediately. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, men are adults at the age of fifteen, and many people even become fathers at this age.

"Well, Lizhi is two years older than Heianlang. She should have gotten married long ago, but her illness has dragged her down. Fortunately, I see that Heianlang and Lizhi have a good relationship, and I also like Heianlang very much, so I intend to marry Lizhi to him. What do you think?" Li Shimin hesitated for a moment before speaking. At the end of the conversation, his expression became a little unnatural, his tone became a little weak, and he didn't even dare to look directly at Li Xiu.

In fact, Li Shimin was indeed a little guilty. Although the emperor's daughter had no worries about marrying, many people knew about Li Zhi's physical condition. He even wanted to marry Li Zhi to Changsun Wuji's son, but later Changsun Wuji chose other princesses, which disappointed Li Shimin very much.

Fortunately, Li Shimin later discovered that Li Xiu's son Heianlang and Lizhi had a good relationship. The only regret was that Heianlang was not the son of his sister Princess Pingyang, but he was also Li Xiu's son after all. He also knew that Li Xiu's children in the family were not divided into legitimate and illegitimate, and Heianlang was not inferior to Li Jin's attention at home. In addition, Heianlang's talent and character were also first-class, so he had long wanted to match the marriage between Heianlang and Lizhi.

However, when Li Shimin thought of Li Zhi's physical condition, even her uncle was unwilling to accept her as her daughter-in-law. Li Xiu's identity is not worse than Changsun Wuji. Now that she married Li Zhi to Ping'anlang, she really feels a little sorry for Li Xiu. After all, even if Li Zhi gets married, it will probably be difficult for anyone to have children, which is very difficult for anyone to accept.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu did not answer immediately, but instead showed a thoughtful expression, which made Li Shimin's heart suddenly raise up, and then shook his head in disappointment and said, "Forget it, I know this is a difficult thing for you. If you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, you know your beautiful physical condition better than me."

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then explained with a smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood. I don't disagree. In fact, I have seen the relationship between Heianlang and Lizhi for a long time. I have discussed it with the angel in the air for this, and she was convinced by me. As long as Lizhi and Ping Anlang agree, we will definitely be very happy."

"You... do you agree to Lizhi as your daughter-in-law?" Li Shimin couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Li Xiu's answer. In fact, when he saw Heianlang just now, he wanted to discuss this matter with Li Xiu, but he was very hesitant on the way. He didn't he pluck up the courage to say it out until he left the door and was about to part. He thought that even if Li Xiu agreed, he would have to consider it, but he didn't expect that he had agreed long ago.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be surprised. Although Lizhi's health is not very good, she has a gentle and generous personality. Such a daughter-in-law cannot be asked for. And the most important thing is that Ping Anlang and Lizhi are both young and have a very deep relationship. I believe that they will definitely be very happy after getting married." Li Xiu smiled again at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu’s words, Li Shimin was completely relieved and a happy smile appeared on his face, but soon he asked in confusion: “Then why did you just now…”

"Haha, actually I was thinking about a question just now. Although Lizhi is two years older than Heianro, she has been weak since childhood and has grown up a little slower than her peers. Now she looks a little younger than Heianro, and Heianro has just become an adult. At that time, I suggested to Your Majesty that men and women should get married at the age of 18. Although this law is not mandatory, I also hope that my children can abide by it. So I think that now I will only engage Heianro and Lizhi and get married in a few years." Li Xiu explained again.

"So you are thinking about this, so just do what you said. This year we will choose a good day for them to get engaged, and we will get married in two years!" Li Shimin was very happy with his daughter's marriage, and he happily agreed to Li Xiu's request.

"Okay, then I will prepare the betrothal gift here. When Your Majesty has chosen the day, I will take Ping Anlang to the palace to engage in!" Li Xiu also smiled and said, "Li Jin's marriage has been settled. As the elder brother, it is indeed time for Ping Anlang to get engaged. However, as a princess, Li Lizhi also needs to preside over the engagement of the Ministry of Rites. Li Xiu also knows these rules.

"Hahaha~, it seems that we are destined to have a kiss. In the future, you and I will be the relatives of children!" Li Shimin also laughed happily, and then said goodbye to Li Xiu. He couldn't wait to return to the palace so that the Ministry of Rites could prepare for the engagement ceremony as soon as possible, so that the marriage would be settled earlier and he could feel at ease sooner.
