Princess Pingyang was furious when she saw Chai Shao framing Li Xiu with such a despicable method. She even decided to go to the palace immediately but saw Li Yuan and asked her father to dissolve the marriage between her and Chai Shao. Li Xiu was shocked when she heard this and wanted to persuade her to calm down. After all, it was not the most appropriate time.

However, Princess Pingyang is a gentle person on the outside and strong inside. As long as the decision is decided, it will never be changed easily. What's more, Chai Shao has touched her bottom line this time, which makes Princess Pingyang unable to listen to anyone's persuasion. After arranging the matter here, she immediately took people into the palace to see Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was discussing matters with several important officials such as Pei Ji, mainly because of the news from Li Shimin from the north. Although Jie Li and Tuli, the uncle and nephew of the Turks, were very fierce, in Li Shimin's judgment, the possibility of a fight was basically ruled out. However, he did not get anything. At least he had already contacted Tuli's people in secret and reached an alliance with the other party. Tuli will become an important piece for the Tang Dynasty to deal with Jie Li in the future. Of course, on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty was also an important bargaining chip for Tuli to restrain Jie Li. Everyone was just mutual benefit and mutual use.

But at this moment, an eunuch trotted in and reported to Li Yuan about Princess Pingyang's request for a visit, and also specifically described Princess Pingyang's appearance as if she was very angry, which made Li Yuan stunned. He didn't care about discussing government affairs anymore, and directly handed over the following matters to Pei Ji, and then ran to meet Princess Pingyang himself.

"Father, my daughter asks you to dissolve my marriage with Chai Shao!" Princess Pingyang immediately said straight to the point as soon as she saw Li Yuan. She had understood her father's difficulties before. Even though she hated Chai Shao very much, she had never taken the initiative to propose this matter, just to take the overall situation into consideration. But today she decided to be selfish and she no longer wanted to have any relationship with people like Chai Shao!

"Sanniang, why did you suddenly make this request?" Li Yuan was shocked when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, and then asked in a deep voice. This matter has always been a knot in his heart. Princess Pingyang didn't mention it, and he pretended not to know it. But now that Princess Pingyang asked it out, he could only face this problem directly.

"Father, when Chai Shao left his daughter behind in times of crisis, almost putting her daughter to death. Since then, her daughter has no longer been his wife. Now he has colluded with officials from the Ministry of Justice to frame my subordinates. It is really despicable. My daughter really doesn't want to have any contact with such a person. I would like to ask my father for permission!" Princess Pingyang did not hide it and asked again that it was the first time she begged her father like this since she became an adult.

Li Yuan was also very embarrassed when he heard this. Although Chai Shao had some military achievements, he didn't care much. The key was that there was a Chai family behind Chai Shao. First of all, he promised that the Chai family would never let each other down.

Secondly, the Chai family seems to be unrestrained on the surface and has a good reputation, but they are both one of the great families and maintain a good relationship with the five surnames and Qi Wangs. When Li Yuan raised his army, the support of some great families was largely due to the secret help of the Chai family. If Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao are now terminated, it will cause irreparable scars between him and those great families, thus causing unpredictable changes in the originally stable Tang Dynasty.

"Sanniang, I know Chai Shao is really sorry for you, but you are husband and wife after all. Can't you give him a chance to change?" Li Yuan suddenly sighed and asked. Although Princess Pingyang was his favorite daughter, she still could not compare with the country and country of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father, we have not even completed the church, let alone the reality of a husband and wife. How can we be considered a husband and wife? Moreover, my daughter has been tolerant for so many years, and now she can't stand it now!" Princess Pingyang said firmly. Since she came here, she was determined to break away from Chai Shao.

Seeing that Princess Pingyang's attitude was so firm, Li Yuan was even more embarrassed. He wanted to refuse directly, but he couldn't bear it. After all, Princess Pingyang was not only his favorite daughter, but also made a lot of contributions to him. Especially at the beginning of the rebellion, Princess Pingyang selflessly handed over his 70,000 women's army to him, which caused the troops in his hands to increase rapidly, thus rapidly expanding and achieving today's hegemony.

But if you agree to let Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao be together, it may cause unstable political situation in the Tang Dynasty and also make him lose trust. This will also cause a great blow to the prestige of an emperor. He does not want any stains about him in history books.

Just when Li Yuan was in a dilemma, a sudden light flashed in his mind. He raised his head and said to Princess Pingyang: "Sanniang, tell me honestly, this time you insisted on living with Chai Shao, is it because of that Li Xiu?"

When Princess Pingyang heard her father suddenly mention Li Xiu, she was shocked and then said hesitantly: "Father... Father, what are you talking about? What are you doing with Chai Shao and Li Guan Li Xiu?"

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Li Yuan smiled calmly and said, "Sanniang, I already know about you and Li Xiu, and you don't have to hide it. Speaking of it, it's too much for you to owe you to your father. If you want to be with Li Xiu, you won't object to your father. It's just that you'd better maintain this nominal marriage with the Chai family, and I won't let Chai Shao bother you again!"

"Father, who are you a daughter?" Princess Pingyang said with a drastic expression when she heard this, and even looked at her father with a somewhat strange look. She couldn't believe that Li Yuan actually asked her and Li Xiu to maintain a relationship between lovers, but she could not become a couple openly. To put it bluntly, it was actually an affair.

"Sanniang, don't be so stubborn. The couple is just a status. With Li Xiu's background, even if you and Chai Shao are free, he will definitely not be worthy of you. So it's better to listen to your father and treat you, Li Xiu, the Chai family and the court like this." Li Yuan advised again with great thought. In his opinion, his daughter is a princess, and he has never been able to get along with his son-in-law Chai Shao. Since that's the case, it's better to let her be with Li Xiu. Anyway, with him suppressing him, no one dares to say anything.

"Father, don't say anything more. Li Xiu is definitely not the kind of person you think. He wants to marry me as his wife. Before that, I will never do anything miserable against the morals of women!" Princess Pingyang said with anger and blushing on her face. Fortunately, the person who said these words was her father, otherwise she would have turned against her.

"Sanniang, you... don't be so stubborn, okay?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say helplessly when he saw Princess Pingyang's appearance. He felt that his proposal was quite good, that was, he solved the problems of Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu, and saved the face of the Chai family and the court. It was a win-win situation. Of course, as for the personal feelings of Li Xiu and Chai Shao, they were not considered at all.

"Daughter is leaving!" Princess Pingyang didn't want to say anything to Li Yuan at this time. She turned around and left without looking back. She felt that if she continued to say this, she would probably be madly angry by her father.

"Sanniang! Sanniang... Alas..." Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang leave angry and shouted a few times behind him. Unfortunately, Princess Pingyang was really angry this time and ignored him and left the hall directly. This made Li Yuan sigh. Since becoming the emperor, he first discovered that his two sons were much more alienated from him in terms of feelings. Now even his daughter is dissatisfied with him, which makes Li Yuan feel sad. Could it be that the imperial family really can't tolerate any family affection?

Princess Pingyang left the palace without looking back because she was worried that if she went back, she would shed tears of grievance. She didn't expect that even her father would not understand her so much, and would even say the above words. When she thought of this, she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.

However, there were palace maids and eunuchs everywhere on both sides of the palace. Princess Pingyang didn't like to cry in front of others, so she kept holding out of the palace and rode out of the city on horseback. The strong wind along the way made her eyes sore, but she still didn't cry until she returned to Li Xiu's house again and saw Li Xiu who was anxiously waiting alone, she finally couldn't help crying.

When Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang come back, he burst into tears without saying a word. Although he didn't know what Princess Pingyang saw Li Yuan, he could also guess that Li Yuan must have not agreed to Princess Pingyang's request for Heli, which was also within his expectations. He sighed and stepped forward and patted Princess Pingyang's back and said, "Princess, although Your Majesty is your father, he is also the king of a country. For the sake of the stability of the country, he must have his own considerations, so you don't have to be too sad."

When she heard Li Xiu still talking to her father, and when she thought of her father's previous words, Princess Pingyang cried even harder. No matter how Li Xiu persuaded her, she had to silently wipe her tears. At the same time, she felt very regretful. This was the first time he had seen Princess Pingyang cry so sadly.

Princess Pingyang didn't know how long she had cried. She felt full of grievances and could only vent her feelings in this way. In the end, she was tired of crying and finally fell asleep on her firm arms. This was the first time she had cried so happily since her mother passed away.

Li Xiu looked at Princess Pingyang who was sobbing a few times in her sleep, and her eyes were full of pity. Now she is a little girl who has suffered grievances from her parents. Only in front of the people she trusts can she let go of herself and cry without any scruples. She just didn't know what Li Yuan said to her, but she actually made Princess Pingyang, who has always been strong, cry like this? (To be continued.)
