The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 102 The emperor’s grace is mighty!

Li Shimin also picked up the watermelon and said, "It's cool now and it will cool you down. Let's eat it now."

After saying that, Li Shimin started eating, and Fang Xuanling and the other two also caught up.

The watermelon is very sweet and it is iced, so it is such a pleasure to take a bite of it.

Several people ate slowly and were a little reluctant to eat.

Li Shimin was enjoying his meal to his satisfaction when he suddenly stopped moving. He looked at the chilled watermelon in his hand and slowly placed it on the table.

He looked outside the palace, his eyes gradually losing focus, as if he saw through the palace wall the figure that would never return.

In an instant, my eyes turned red and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and Wei Zheng were at a loss when they saw this.

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they could react, they heard Li Shimin say in a tearful voice, "The chilled watermelon is delicious, but Du Ruhui can't eat it anymore. He'll never be able to eat it again..."

The sorrow in that voice made everyone present feel a pang in their hearts.

Once upon a time, they fought together for the country and people of the Tang Dynasty. Du Ruhui's wisdom and courage were a solid support for everyone on the road ahead, but now they are separated forever.

Fang Xuanling didn't eat any more, his eyes slightly moist. He anxiously advised, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! Lord Du has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life. If he were still alive, he would certainly not want to see Your Majesty so sad."

Li Jing also bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although Lord Du has passed away, his achievements and spirit will live on. I hope Your Majesty will accept my condolences."

Several people began to persuade Li Shimin, but Li Shimin still cried very sadly.

Li Shimin turned a deaf ear and just stared at the watermelon in his hand, as if it was the last connection between him and Du Ruhui.

After a long moment, he slowly raised his hand, broke the watermelon in his hand, and handed half of the watermelon to the eunuch beside him. He said in a tearful voice, "Hurry and send it to Du Ruhui's grave. Don't delay."

The eunuch took the watermelon with trembling hands and hurried away.

At this time, the hall was silent, with only the suppressed sobbing of Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling and others accompanied him silently. They understood that no amount of words could soothe the pain in Li Shimin's heart at this moment.

That half piece of watermelon that flew away carried the emperor's endless longing for his best friend and trusted minister.

This matter soon reached the ears of Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun looked at the table and saw that there were still a few pieces of watermelon that had not been eaten.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang, were having a happy chat.

Empress Changsun asked, "Xiao Ran, you two girls, are you still eating?"

Xiao Ran and the other two looked at Empress Changsun and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't want to eat anymore.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

"I just heard that Your Majesty was eating iced watermelon. Thinking of the deceased old minister, he was very sad. He gave some of his watermelon to be sent to the grave."

Empress Changsun gave a brief explanation.

Xiao Ran and the others were silent.

"Everyone who has passed away has these, and their families should have these too. Send these to them."

"These are not suitable to be sent. Your Highness, please wait for me, I will go and get one." Empress Changsun said to the old minister, but Xiao Ran probably guessed who it was.

The person who could make Li Shimin do this was naturally Du Ruhui, who had died in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

It's a pity that this great contributor to the Zhenguan period passed away too early.

There was no shortage of talents during the Zhenguan period, but it is still a pity that such a talented person as Du Ruhui passed away.

Fang Mou Du Duan’s advice is of great value.

Xiao Ran ran back to the supermarket warehouse and took another watermelon.

The two little princesses were still taking a nap, and Xiao Ruoying didn't get up either.

No one noticed when Xiao Ran came back again.

Xiao Ran brought a watermelon and said, "Your Highness, take this!"

"This..." Empress Zhangsun felt that Xiao Ran's explanation was unreasonable. "It's just a watermelon, no big deal. Second sister Sizi is about to wake up, we have to go over there." Xiao Ran pointed at the screen.

"Good!" Empress Changsun's impression of Xiao Ran became better and better.

Hongxiu took the chilled watermelon and felt it was a little cold. She liked this feeling very much.

Empress Changsun escorted Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang to the screen and watched the three of them go in.

Empress Changsun pondered for a moment, then said to Hongxiu with a gentle and solemn expression, "Go to the Du Mansion and tell everyone there that Your Majesty, while enjoying iced watermelon today, recalled Lord Du's past achievements and his companionship. He missed him deeply and was overcome with grief."

"Although we are separated by life and death, His Majesty, mindful of our old friendship, has specially ordered me to deliver this melon as a token of His Majesty's grace."

"May Lord Du rest in peace, and may the people of the Du Mansion know that Your Majesty cares for them, and may they continue to enjoy blessings in the years to come."

Hongxiu took the order and left. Empress Changsun looked at her departing back and sighed slightly.

She knew very well that although the imperial family enjoyed all the splendor, there were also many frustrations and deep feelings that were difficult to express in words.

This watermelon is not only a commemoration of the deceased heroes, but also a bond that maintains the hearts of the people in the court.

No one else has it, but Du Ruhui's family has it, so he must be grateful.

"It's so cool!" Princess Yuzhang shivered.

It's really not hot at all, and a little cold.

Although Li Lizhi was mentally prepared, she still felt a little cold and was not used to it after just coming here.

The two of them also saw the two little princesses on the bed, who were still sleeping soundly.

She was covered with a thin silk summer quilt and holding Ao Da Miao in her arms.

Li Lizhi went to the bedside and saw her two sisters sleeping soundly. She smiled and did not disturb them.

"Second sister Sizi needs to sleep for a while, let's go to the living room!" Xiao Ran said.

"Okay!" Li Lizhi nodded.

Princess Yuzhang looked around curiously, just like Li Lizhi had just arrived.

Xiao Ran opened the bedroom door and walked out of the room with Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang. Xiao Ruoying also came out of another room rubbing her eyes.

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, realizing that there was a misunderstanding.

Xiao Ruoying looked at Xiao Ran, as well as Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang who were beside Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ruoying was very happy when she saw Li Lizhi. She didn't expect that there was another beautiful woman next to her. She was dressed in the same style as Li Lizhi and was equally beautiful.

There is nothing to say about the temperament.

But Xiao Ruoying soon realized something was wrong, "Brother, why did Changle and the others come out of your room?"

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also realized that there was a misunderstanding.

"Don't think too much. Changle and Weiyang just came over and went to my room to see Sizi's second sister. What do you mean by coming out of my room?" Xiao Ran quickly found an excuse to cover it up.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang nodded quickly to show their agreement.

"Oh, so that's it!" Xiao Ruoying didn't think much about it. The two little princesses were indeed in Xiao Ran's room.

Xiao Ruoying also didn't believe that her elder brother could do anything to Li Lizhi so quickly.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Xiao Ran pointed to the sofa.

"Changle, your clothes are so beautiful, different from the ones you wore before." Xiao Ruoying came close to Li Lizhi.

Soon, Li Lizhi and the other two became familiar with each other.

Xiao Ran prepared some food.

There is no rush to go to the supermarket because the two little princesses are not awake yet.

The three of them started chatting, but Xiao Ran was the one who was at a loss for words.

Xiao Ran really couldn't get a word in on the topic the three girls were talking about.
