My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Not long after, Liu Che returned as expected, followed by the somewhat reserved Crown Prince Liu Ju.

His gaze swept across the courtyard, first landing on Chen Mo, his eyes showing a hint of amusement.

He nudged Chen Mo with his elbow, giving him a "You're something else!" look.

Chen Mo could only force a smile and remain silent.

Then, Liu Che looked at Li Lizhi.

Liu Che had only glanced at her casually before, but now, upon closer inspection, he felt even more strongly that this woman possessed an extraordinary air about her, especially her dignified elegance, which was definitely not something an ordinary person could have.

Li Shimin was displeased to see Liu Che staring at Li Lizhi.

"Liu Che! Why are you staring at my daughter like that?"

Liu Che was slightly taken aback, and turned his gaze to Li Shimin.

"Is this your daughter?"

"Otherwise what?"

Li Shimin snorted.

"It can't be your daughter, can it?"

Liu Che chuckled and gave Chen Mo a sidelong glance.

OK!

You've even managed to hook up with someone's daughter!

This child is teachable!

Liu Che looked at Li Shimin again, his smile becoming even more amused.

And judging from Li Shimin's expression, he still doesn't know.

Tsk tsk~!

interesting!

Liu Che put aside his thoughts and led Liu Ju, who was behind him, to the front.

"This is my Crown Prince—Liu Ju."

Then, Liu Che turned around and introduced the others.

"This is Chen Mo, the owner of this shop, and this is...."

Liu Che pondered for a moment.

"Emperors of the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Shimin, belong to a later generation compared to us."

"People of later generations?"

Liu Ju was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted and stepped forward.

"Liu Ju greets Manager Chen..."

After speaking, Liu Ju looked at Li Shimin and remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to call him.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't care about these things and said casually.

"Just call me Uncle Li!"

"Liu Ju has met Uncle Li."

Liu Ju bowed to Li Shimin.

Just then, Zhu Biao and Fusu each came out of the kitchen carrying a white steamed bun, and were slightly taken aback when they saw Liu Che and Liu Ju outside.

Liu Che glanced at the two men and introduced them to Liu Ju.

"This person is also from a later era; he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he..."

Liu Che looked at Fusu.

"He is that tyrant... Fusu, the eldest son of Ying Zheng!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ju was taken aback again, and his gaze turned to Fusu.

Fusu, with a refined and scholarly air, bowed to Liu Ju.

"The eldest son of the Qin dynasty, Fusu, has met with the Crown Prince of Han."

Upon seeing this, Liu Ju quickly returned the greeting.

"Liu Ju has met Prince Fusu of Qin and had long heard of the prince's uprightness and concern for the world. Now that he has met him, he can see that to be true."

Then, Liu Ju looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly and bowed in return.

"The Crown Prince Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty has met the Crown Prince Liu Ju of the Han Dynasty. He has long heard of Your Highness's benevolence, filial piety, gentleness and prudence. Today, I have seen that you are indeed worthy of your reputation and have an extraordinary demeanor."

"Brother Zhu Biao, you flatter me!"

Liu Ju cupped his hands in greeting.

"I...I am unworthy of such praise. My elder brother is magnanimous and gentle, truly a dragon among men. I should take him as my role model."

Chen Mo watched the three people exchanging compliments, and a twitch appeared on his lips.

Although all three of them were very polite, something felt off.

However, including Li Chengqian who is still in the hospital, the Fourth Prince is now complete.

Hmm~!

Four princes cannot make a single emperor!

Just as Chen Mo was mentally complaining, a small figure was standing at the kitchen door, holding a piece of sugar bun in both hands.

She raised her small face, her eyes scanning the three people outside, and after a moment of contemplation.

"The...Ming Dynasty...um...Qin Dynasty...Han Dynasty..."

She seemed unable to remember so many complicated titles, and her little brows furrowed.

Finally, he simply omitted the formalities and directly used the most direct form of address, bowing in the manner the three had just performed.

"Sizi greets... Brother Biao! Brother Su! Brother Ju!"

Upon seeing this, the three exchanged glances, then smiled and returned the greeting to Sizi.

"Who is this?"

Liu Che looked at the adorable little creature that had come out, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Li Shimin snorted again.

"Also my daughter? What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"Oh~!"

Liu Che said "Oh," and then looked at Li Shimin with an incredulous expression.

"Not bad, Old Li! You're not much to look at, but your daughters are exceptionally beautiful! Each one is so lovely and charming!"

"What do you mean I'm not good-looking?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately became displeased.

"I'm not much better looking than you!"

"Tsk tsk~!"

Liu Che clicked his tongue and said nothing more, but took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

The jade pendant was smooth and lustrous, with exquisite carving, no less so than the one he had given Chen Mo before.

"Little Sizi, what do you think of this jade pendant your uncle has? How about I give it to you to play with?"

Little Sizi raised her head, looked the jade pendant up and down, and pouted slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she looked at Liu Che, her voice childish yet remarkably serious.

"Sizi doesn't want this!"

"Oh?"

Liu Che's smile froze, greatly surprised.

"Why not? Do you think this jade pendant is ugly?"

Little Si frowned, seemingly thinking about how to answer.

After a while, she pointed to the jade pendant.

"This stone is cold and hard; it doesn't taste good!"

As she spoke, a look of gluttonous disdain appeared on Xiao Sizi's face.

"It's not as good as the candy Little Cynorrhiza gave me! The candy is sweet!"

"Pfft~!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha!"

As expected of his daughter!

It's just a jade pendant, isn't it?

His daughter doesn't like him!

Li Shimin felt increasingly relieved as he thought about it.

Liu Che, however, stood frozen in place, looking both amused and exasperated.

Throughout his life, Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che) was a powerful and influential ruler. Who wouldn't want the gifts he bestowed upon them?

And now, he's actually being rejected?

He's just a toddler!

Just as Liu Che was feeling depressed, he saw Xiao Sizi pull out a fruit candy from somewhere.

She then stuffed fruit candies into Liu Che's hand, which was holding the jade pendant, and looked up at him with her little face, speaking in a childish voice.

"Uncle, don't be sad! Here's some candy from Sizi, it's really sweet! Eating it will make you feel better!"

Liu Che: ...

Liu Che remained silent for a moment, then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

After a while, the astonishment on Zhou's face slowly faded, finally turning into an extremely gentle smile.

He reached out and patted the little ox's head.

"Okay, Uncle will accept it. If you want anything in the future, just tell Uncle!"

Xiao Si smiled sweetly, walked to Liu Ju's side, and took out a fruit candy as well.

"My brother eats it too!"

……

Here, Liu Che put the fruit candy in his mouth, and instantly a sweet fruity taste filled his entire mouth.

He looked at the little ox, his eyes darting back and forth, and then walked to Li Shimin's side.

"Old Li, let's talk about something."

"What's up?"

Li Shimin raised an eyebrow.

Liu Che looked at Xiao Sizi again and whispered.

"Does your son need a father?"

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Liu Che did not notice the change in Li Shimin's expression, and continued to ask.

"Look...what do you think of me? I think I'm perfectly suited!"

Li Shimin: ? ? ? ?

What is that?

Need a father?

Why don't you ask her if she needs a grandfather?

What do you think you can do about it?!

I bother!

"impossible!"

Li Shimin immediately rejected it.

Liu Che knew that Li Shimin would refuse, and continued in a low voice.

"Don't rush! Look, I'll trade you my son."

"Look at Ju'er, he's strong and healthy. I'll have him recognize you as his godfather."

"You think I need a son?"

Li Shimin's face turned ashen.

"I can pay for it!"

"Do you think I'm short of money? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would let my daughter recognize you as her godfather just for money?"

"I'm telling you! You can't..."

"Three hundred taels!"

Liu Che paused, then added a sentence.

"gold."

Li Shimin remained silent.

Three hundred taels of gold!

Oh shit!

How much wealth did Hanwen and Hanjing actually leave him?!

Why didn't his father, Li Yuan, leave him much?

Oh!

I almost forgot, my father wasn't emperor for very long!

That's all!

Seeing this, Liu Che seized the opportunity to build the railway.

"Besides, I don't ask for much. I just want Sizi to come and visit me for a few days from time to time, so I can enjoy the feeling of having a sweet little girl."

Liu Che looked at Si Zi.

"Look, she and I get along quite well; she even gave me candy."

"I will go back and consider it, and ask for the Prince's opinion."

Li Shimin remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter this one sentence.

Oh shit!

Having a daughter who is too cute isn't necessarily a good thing!

They'll covet it, whether it's a human or a ghost!
