Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

Li Yinxun looked on with disbelief, almost thinking she had misheard.

"Will my brother-in-law be there?"

She looked Li Shimin up and down. Although she knew he was intelligent, this was a car, not a horse-drawn carriage. He couldn't learn just by looking at it.

But seeing Li Shimin's confident and composed demeanor, she still handed him the car keys.

"Then brother-in-law = be careful."

Although the SUV is automatic and easy to operate, she still repeatedly reminded everyone of the key points for safety: "The right side of this pedal is the accelerator, and the left side is the brake. Don't step on the wrong pedal. You have to be careful with the pressure you apply. This car is powerful, and if you step on it too hard, it can easily lurch forward. If something happens, even a miracle won't save you."

Li Shimin took the key, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"I am the Son of Heaven; there is nothing in this world that I cannot do."

Earlier, Li Shimin had repeatedly summoned Chengyang to drive that toy car, and he would carefully observe and learn from him.

If the children's vehicle hadn't been so small, he would have already touched the steering wheel.

Enough said, let's put it to the test and see what it's really like.

Li Shimin opened the car door, took a long stride, and sat in the driver's seat.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a surge of pride and a sense of control over the entire situation.

He inserted the key into the lock and gave it a gentle turn.

"Boom!"

The engine let out a deep, powerful roar, and the car body vibrated slightly.

Li Shimin gripped the gear lever with his right hand, gently pushed it into D gear, and lightly tapped the accelerator.

The off-road vehicle moved slowly, starting smoothly without any jerking.

He lightly controlled the steering wheel, and the vehicle moved smoothly along the wide main road of the palace, at a moderate speed, showing no signs of being a novice driving a real car for the first time.

Li Yinxun, Empress Zhangsun, the little princess, and the ministers who stayed behind were all stunned.

"It's...open already?" Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth in surprise.

"Your Majesty is exceptionally intelligent; you grasp things instantly," Fang Xuanling couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even Li Yinxun was somewhat surprised. She originally thought that he would have to stall the engine and rev the car a few times, but she didn't expect Li Shimin to be so adept at it. His talent was truly undeniable.

The little princess clapped her hands excitedly and cheered, "Grandpa is great, Grandpa is driving the car!"

The car circled around once and came to a steady stop in front of everyone.

Li Shimin had just finished showing off his driving skills and got out of the car, and before he could even feel smug, he was pestered by his little daughter.

The little princess proudly puffed out her chest, "I'm a seasoned pro now, how can I fall behind, older sister? It's too embarrassing!"

Li Lizhi was amused, but also became curious.

She looked at the car and thought that since her father and the little princess could learn it, this shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Encouraged by Li Yinxun and the little princess, Li Lizhi got into the driver's seat.

Li Yinxun stood outside the car window, bending down to explain to her: "This car is automatic, so you don't need to use a clutch. There's just a brake and an accelerator. You press the right foot down to go and release it to stop. You can turn the steering wheel wherever you want. It's super simple."

Li Lizhi tentatively pressed the accelerator, and being exceptionally intelligent, she learned it after only listening to the key points a few times.

She gripped the steering wheel excitedly, a smile spreading across her face.

Seeing how quickly Li Lizhi picked it up, Li Shimin also became interested and waved his hand, saying, "Since Lizhi can do it, I'll teach your mother too!"

As he spoke, he personally opened the car door, helped Empress Zhangsun into the driver's seat, and then went around to the driver's seat to teach her step by step.

"Guanyinbi, look at this foot... Yes, step lightly, don't be nervous, I'm sitting right next to you."

Inside the carriage, the emperor and empress sat head to head, occasionally whispering and laughing. Their affectionate display was almost unbearable to watch; they were truly a master of showing off their love.

Li Yinxun couldn't bear to look any longer and quickly walked a few steps away.

Li Lizhi walked up to Li Yinxun and asked, "Auntie, can this car be driven freely in modern times? If it can... I'm thinking how great it would be if I could drive myself someday."

Li Yinxun shook her head: "In modern times, you need a driver's license to drive this car. Lizhi, you're only sixteen this year, not yet of legal age to take the driving test."

"I see."

Li Lizhi felt a little regretful, but she understood that it was the rule.

"But it's fine in the Tang Dynasty, you can drive it whenever you want," Li Yinxun comforted her. "I'll get you one later, so you can drive it around in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Lizhi gave a wry smile. Even if she had a car, she would have nowhere to go.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

It turned out to be Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Princess Yuzhang, and Princess Qinghe, who had all come after hearing the news.

Several children ran up to the vehicle, panting, their eyes fixed on it with excitement and curiosity.

This is the magical chariot that can run without horses!

As they approached, they saw the elderly couple inside the car chatting and laughing.

At this point, the little princess became the most active one.

Like a little tyrant, she grabbed Li Chengqian with one hand and pulled Li Tai with the other, shouting loudly:

"Big brother, second brother, come quick, come quick, line up to learn to drive!"

Looking at the extremely excited little princess, and then at Li Shimin in the carriage, Li Chengqian felt a little uneasy.

"Sizi, Father and Mother are busy right now, let's not go and cause trouble, let's just stay here and watch."

Li Chengqian politely declined.

The little princess shook her head like a rattle-drum, stubbornly insisting, "No, the nest is already too big, let's go, let's go."

Although she was small, her stubbornness was so strong that even her two older brothers couldn't resist her and were dragged forward a few steps.

The car slowly came to a stop, and the little princess rushed in, pounding on the car door and shouting loudly:

"Father, come down quickly, it's time for the older brother to drive the car."

Li Shimin was still enjoying himself when he heard this, and he frowned, looking displeased: "Nonsense, Father has only just gotten the hang of it, he hasn't had enough yet."

"Enough, enough!" the little princess argued. "Father is an adult, he can't argue with a child."

She chattered on and on, leaving Li Shimin speechless.

Empress Zhangsun was amused and gently nudged Li Shimin's arm, softly advising, "Second Prince, since the children are here, let them have a try too."

Li Shimin sighed, glanced helplessly at Empress Zhangsun, and could only compromise: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you."

Li Shimin slowly got out of the carriage. As he passed Li Chengqian, he couldn't help but glare at his eldest son and muttered in a low voice:

"You blockhead! Can't you see I'm instructing your mother? You have no sense at all!"

Li Chengqian smiled wryly, "Thank you, Father."
