"Brother Fan, this meat is really delicious," Li Lizhi said, looking at the barbecue grill billowing smoke beside her.

"The Tang Dynasty also had roasted mutton, but it didn't taste as good as this."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Fan gently pressed the little princess's head down to help her eat the skewers; of course, this wasn't necessary in Chengyang. After making two skewers of meat for the two little princesses, Jiang Fan put on gloves and started peeling crayfish.

Eating crayfish on a summer night is simply amazing! Little Si pointed at the crayfish and said, "Brother~ this is a little shrimp, why is it a little duck?"

Xiao Sizi had eaten shrimp before, but this wasn't the kind of crayfish she had eaten, so she didn't recognize it. However, it looked like a smaller version of the large crayfish she had eaten before.

"This is called crayfish."

"Little pus-filled blind man~"

"Yes, little pustule." Jiang Fan deftly peeled a shrimp. "Here, Si Zi, have one."

"Ah—" The little princess opened her mouth and ate the crayfish that Jiang Fan fed her.

"Honey, even a little pustules are fine!"

"Mmm, Chengyang, have one too!" Jiang Fan quickly peeled another one and fed it to Chengyang.

Jiang Fan pointed to the disposable gloves on the table: "Lizhi, you eat too."

Li Lizhi nodded, picked up the gloves and put them on her hands. Although she had peeled large lobsters before, this was her first time peeling small crayfish.

I spent ages peeling the shrimp but couldn't get a single whole piece of meat out.

In contrast, Jiang Fan peeled the meat very quickly, unable to eat it properly, like a hungry baby bird.

While ensuring the safety of both little princesses, he took a peeled shrimp and handed it to Li Lizhi: "Lizhi, here you go."

Li Lizhi blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't reach out to take it. She stood there, stunned, unsure what to do.

Jiang Fan sensed that Li Lizhi might be a little shy—after all, Li Lizhi was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and in feudal society, women were conservative.

Although Li Lizhi is still young, she is of marriageable age in the Tang Dynasty and is somewhat sensitive to the differences between men and women.

Jiang Fan placed the shrimp meat on the plate in front of Li Lizhi and said with a smile, "Don't be shy with Brother Fan, just like with Sizi and Chengyang."

After saying that, he continued to feed the little princess, whose little mouth was still open.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fan couldn't keep up with Xiao Sizi's speed in no time. Fortunately, Li Lizhi learned quickly, and with her help, Jiang Fan's pressure was greatly reduced.

While the four of them were happily enjoying skewers and crayfish, they heard faint music coming from the fitness plaza across the street.

"The vast horizon is my love~"

"Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills~"

What kind of rhythm is the most swaying?

What kind of singing voice is the most joyful?

Li Lizhi was immediately drawn to the music that suddenly started playing, and Chengyang also raised her little head to look in the direction of the sound. Only the little princess, who was focused on eating, could not hear these things.

"Brother Fan, is someone playing music over there?" Li Lizhi pointed across the street. Because of the street separating them, they couldn't see clearly what was happening on the other side.

"It's not a performance, it's music for square dancing."

"Square dancing?"

"Hmm, shall we go take a look after we finish eating?"

"good!"

After a delicious barbecue, Jiang Fan, carrying his well-fed little princess, led Li Lizhi and Chengyang to the other side of the street.

There's a small square there. Once you enter, you're greeted by a lively and unique scene. The first thing you see is a huge group of people doing square dancing.

In the city that never sleeps, the dancers are no longer limited to square dancing aunties—there are many young people and many children dancing as well, and their movements are more lively and dynamic.

"Brother Fan, it's so lively here!"

"Yes, people who live nearby often come out for a walk, dance, exercise, or play with their children in the evening. They usually gather here."

Although Li Lizhi was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, she had never seen such a scene before.

Chengyang tugged at his sister's sleeve, his eyes darting around, finding everything new and exciting.

"Brother, I want to get down!" The little princess wiggled her little bottom in Jiang Fan's arms.

"Okay, come down and play for a while!" Jiang Fan put the little princess down.

Little Sizi stood next to the square dance group, her big eyes fixed on their movements.

Before long, she started unconsciously wiggling her little bottom to the rhythm.

Perhaps they were born with an artistic flair—stretching out their short arms and legs, twisting and turning, both comical and adorable.

Even so, Jiang Fan didn't dare to laugh, for fear of spoiling the little guy's mood.

Chengyang covered his mouth and laughed as he watched, and Li Lizhi couldn't help but chuckle as well.

Passersby were drawn to the little baby wearing a traditional Chinese dress and with her hair in a bun.

Her clumsy dance moves only made her look cuter. Many people took out their phones to take pictures—no wonder, with such stunning looks, she'll be the center of attention wherever she goes.

After finishing one song and during the break between songs, Xiao Sizi looked up at Jiang Fan and said, "Brother, I'm done for too!"

"Hmm, Sizi is really amazing, he can't even learn it properly." Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud at Sizi's adorable appearance.

Li Lizhi looked at her little sister with a beaming smile, while Chengyang squatted down to straighten Xiao Sizi's crooked skirt.

"Brother Fan, this kind of dance is completely different from the style of the Tang Dynasty. The movements are very expansive and the rhythm is very strong."

Li Lizhi was born in the palace and, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance.

"This kind of dance isn't very entertaining; it's mainly for physical exercise," Jiang Fan explained.

"Physical training?" This was something Li Lizhi hadn't expected.

In ancient societies, the concept of physical exercise was not as strong or widespread as it is in modern times.

Most of the time, physical training is considered an activity exclusive to martial arts practitioners, who improve their physical fitness and skills through daily exercises.

For ordinary people, manual labor is probably their main form of physical activity in daily life. Exercising through dancing while also gaining happiness is indeed a good thing.

"Sizi, Chengyang, Lizhi, let's go for another stroll over there!" Jiang Fan suggested.

"Mmm~ Mmm~" The little princess held Jiang Fan's hand.

Jiang Fan held the little princess's hand, Li Lizhi held Chengyang's hand, and the two little ones held hands together. The four of them held hands, looking just like a family of four.

"Hey, what are they doing?" The little princess pointed to a place where a lot of people had gathered.

"That's a ring toss game, let's go take a look."

"Hmm~"

A large crowd gathered in front of the ring toss stall—where there were people playing the game, many others watched the spectacle.

This game, which requires both skill and luck, remains very attractive to people, and has endured for so many years.

Jiang Fan led the little princess over and saw some people playing.

As the plastic rings were thrown out one by one, the onlookers gasped and sighed in surprise.
