Chapter 20 Searching Chang'an City!
The dumpling skin is thin and the meat filling can be easily tasted.

In an instant, her round eyes widened even wider.

There was a glint of surprise and satisfaction in her already bright eyes.

The smile on the little face became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

The chubby cheeks chewed quickly like a cute little hamster.

After swallowing the dumpling, the little princess opened her mouth impatiently and shouted incoherently but eagerly:
"Wow~ This is so good~"

"Good Seven~"

As he spoke, he waved his tender little white hands, leaned forward, and stared at the dumplings in the bowl.

He looked as if he was afraid that the dumplings would suddenly disappear, revealing his true foodie nature.

"Seven is a good number~"

"If you like it, please eat some more." Xu Wenya felt very satisfied because her cooking skills were recognized by the little princess.

"Hmmmm~"

At first, it was Xiao Ran who fed her, and then the little princess started to eat with chopsticks herself.

Eat very seriously.

It felt like the little princess had trouble using chopsticks to eat, so the dumplings were no longer hot, so I asked the little princess to wear disposable gloves and eat them.

"Si Zi, this is vinegar. It tastes good when dipped in." Xu Wenya pointed.

"Yeah, yeah~" The little princess is also someone who listens to advice.

I dipped it lightly and wanted to taste it to see if it tasted better.

Xiao Ran and Xu Wenya both stared at the little princess.

"Fourth son, is it more delicious?"

"Hmmmm~Okay~"

Xu Wenya looked at Xiao Ran, "Boss, look, Sizi knows how to eat, but you're just an oddball who only dips it in soy sauce!"

Xiao Ran looked at the soy sauce in front of him and said, "I simply don't like vinegar. Everyone has their own preferences."

"Yes, yes, we can't just eat dumplings. We need some vegetables to relieve the greasiness." Xu Wenya got up and ran to the supermarket to get some vegetables.

The little princess said nothing and just ate the dumplings silently.

The little princess is young, but she still has common sense.

Every time I take a dumpling, I don’t grab it directly. Instead, I extend my little finger and poke it to see if it is hot.

Make sure it's not hot before picking it up.

He looks cute and funny when he's serious.

Xu Wenya found some green vegetables and boiled them in water. "Sizi, this is not bad either. Try it."

"Hmmmm~"

"It tastes so good!" Xiao Ran didn't realize dumplings were so delicious.

The pork in the Tang Dynasty was not tasty, and the little princess had never eaten pork.

Many of the seasonings in dumpling fillings are modern products and were definitely not found in the Tang Dynasty.

The little princess couldn't resist such a taste.

The little princess put down her gloves and rubbed her round belly, "I'm full~"

"Great!" Xu Wenya rubbed the little princess's head.

"Boss, Sizi's hairstyle should make him look very similar to Nezha when he cosplays." Xu Wenya said with a smile.

"The hairstyle should be very similar. The fourth one is the cute type, but the face is a little different." Xiao Ran picked up the tissue and gently wiped the little princess's face.

"What a pity. I don't know if there will be another chance in the future." Xu Wenya was reluctant.

Once her parents come looking for her, the little princess will definitely have to go back.

After eating and drinking, it’s time for a nap at noon.

The little princess also began to feel sleepy.

Pulling Xiao Ran's clothes, "Little Nangjun~ I'm so sleepy~"

"I want to break my consciousness~"

The little girl had no idea what would happen in the Tang Dynasty.

These are not what the little princess considers.

"Okay, I'll take Sizi to bed." Xiao Ran picked up the little princess.

The dozing little princess is not as lively as before.

Although he is still adorable, well-behaved and sensible.

In Xiao Ran's room, he is not picky.

I lay down and fell asleep quickly.

There is air conditioning here, which is more comfortable than in Datang.

Even if no one fanned her, she wouldn't feel hot, and the little princess didn't have to worry about waking up from the heat. Seeing the little princess fall asleep, Xu Wenya reluctantly left.

Back inside the supermarket.

Xiao Ran was guarding the bedroom, so he could take a break.

Looking at the little princess, Xiao Ran felt complicated.

I hope the little princess’s family will come and take her away soon, but I can’t bear to let her go.

It's rare to see such a young child not crying or making a fuss after not seeing his parents for such a long time.

So well-behaved that people want to own it.

Looking at the little princess, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing.

Chang'an City

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and the streets of Chang'an City were scorching hot.

The air was filled with heat waves, and even the wind had a scorching breath.

However, at this moment in Chang'an City, no one cared about the scorching hot weather. The entire city was shrouded in tension and anxiety.

The figures of the Royal Guards shuttled quickly through the streets, their armor reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Their foreheads were covered in sweat, but they had no time to wipe it off, and their steps were hurried and heavy.

The people on both sides of the street moved aside, whispering, "What happened? Why are even the Imperial Guards dispatched?"

The commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhang Shigui, was riding on his horse with a stern expression, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle.

His voice was deep and powerful, carrying unquestionable authority: "Everyone listen! Search house to house, leaving no corner untouched!"

The guards quickly divided into several teams and rushed into streets, shops, houses, and even abandoned courtyards.

The people were alarmed by the sudden search and popped their heads out of their homes, their faces filled with confusion and anxiety.

Someone murmured, "Why is there such a big commotion in the middle of the day?"

Zhang Shigui ignored these discussions; his mind was entirely focused on the little princess's safety.

He knew that if the little princess fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.

He looked up in the direction of the palace and prayed silently in his heart that he would find it back.

Children around two years old are the key targets for screening.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Lizheng Hall was also solemn.

Empress Changsun sat in the hall, holding a string of Buddhist beads tightly in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She looked outside the hall from time to time, her eyes full of anxiety.

Li Shimin stood beside her with a frown on his face. Although his expression was calm, his clenched fists revealed his inner anxiety.

Li Chengqian held the little Princess Chengyang in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Second Mother. My brother is here."

However, there was a hint of worry in his voice that was hard to conceal.

Li Tai stood aside, frowning, his eyes occasionally glancing outside the hall, as if waiting for some news.

The air in the hall seemed to be frozen, making it hard to breathe.

The food on the table had already gone cold, but no one touched it.

Neither Empress Changsun nor Li Shimin had the heart to eat. They were all concerned about the safety of the little princess.

Changsun Wuji also came over, but he was also helpless.

"Lizhi, take Erniang to have dinner, and go back to rest first!" Empress Changsun said.

"Yes, mother!"

"I'm not hungry, mother. I want to wait here for Sizi to come back." The little princess Chengyang had red eyes.

I am very worried about the little princess.

Empress Changsun and Emperor Li Shimin also couldn't bear to let Li Lizhi take the little Princess Chengyang to Fengyang Pavilion.

Soon, the little Princess Chengyang fell asleep in Li Lizhi's arms.

Li Shimin was getting restless as he still couldn't get any news.

With so many guards dispatched, theoretically there should be news.

Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand, patted it gently, and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Empress. I will go there myself. You wait here for news."

Empress Changsun bit her lip and finally nodded.

Li Shimin turned around and strode out of the hall. Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at each other and followed closely behind him.

Under the scorching sun, Li Shimin's figure appeared particularly tall and straight.

But I only feel a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.

At this moment, everyone's heart was hanging in the air.

The safety of the little princess concerns the entire Chang'an City.
