Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Whoosh whoosh!

This time the sound was louder and clearer, like a boulder thrown into a stagnant pool, creating terrifying ripples.

He listened carefully, but the thumping sound was no longer faint; instead, it sounded like a small animal eating.

Moreover, Jiang Fan heard it clearly this time; the sound was coming from his bedroom.

Then came a burst of children's giggles.

However, the sound quickly disappeared, as if it had never happened.

Jiang Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and after a long while, his voice completely fell silent.

Only then did he dare to grip the peach wood sword tightly and move forward inch by inch.

Hold your breath.

Let's go to the bedroom!

Upon closer inspection—"Damn it, who stole all my claypot rice?"

When Jiang Fan entered the house, he found that there was nothing in the bedroom except the claypot rice on the table that he hadn't finished eating, which was now completely dry as if it had been licked clean by something.

And that bottle of Sprite, which wasn't finished, also disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded, but as an atheist, he couldn't help but have doubts.

Was that strange sound just now an illusion? The claypot rice must have been eaten by a stray cat.

As for Sprite—maybe I've never bought it before, and I'm just hallucinating because I've been working so hard these past few days.

Looking at a building that's only a dozen stories high, what kind of cat has such great abilities?

A chill ran down my spine, and I felt a sense of dread, as if something was behind me.

The Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Fengyang Pavilion.

Princess Jinyang, Xiao Sizi, sat by the wall, one chubby little hand holding a Sprite, the other rubbing her already bulging little belly, letting out a happy baby laugh.

The wall next to her looked like a wall, but in the little princess's eyes, it was transparent and she could pass through it.

So all of Jiang Fan's claypot rice ended up in the little princess's stomach.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were neither the necessary conditions nor a wide variety of seasonings.

A bowl of claypot rice was the most delicious food the little princess had ever eaten.

I don't recognize the claypot rice and Sprite Princess, but that's not important.

As a foodie, her nose and mouth told her that this food was delicious, and that was enough.

The little princess looked at the Sprite she had "found" in her arms; its color was like water.

Without the slightest hesitation, she took a swig of Sprite. (Luckily, Jiang Fan had opened the Sprite, otherwise the little princess wouldn't have been able to drink it.)

The little princess's big, watery eyes lit up the next moment.

When the Sprite melted in her mouth, the unprecedented thrill instantly captivated Xiao Sizi, making the little princess's eyes sparkle like tiny crescent moons.

Just then, Dongmei, who was not far away, heard the little princess's laughter and quickly walked over to where the little princess was.

"Your Highness, what brings you here? The imperial kitchen has already served the food."

Upon hearing Dongmei's voice, the little princess hurriedly covered her smiling mouth, grabbed Sprite, and ran towards her palace with her short legs.

She couldn't tell Sister Dongmei that she had some strange, delicious food. If she told her, she would definitely tell her mother and the others, and then her mother and the others would take all the delicious food away. Absolutely not!

"Your Highness, what are you holding in your arms?"

Dongmei watched as the little princess carried something and ran very fast on her short legs.

"Fuchi Island Duck!"

The little princess responded in a childish voice, then ran off without looking back.

Dongmei watched the little princess run very fast and just thought her princess was really cute. As for what she was holding in her arms, she probably didn't ask what kind of toy it was.

"Princess, slow down! Don't fall!"

Dongmei gave a word of advice and then quickly caught up. It has to be said that although her little princess has short legs, it doesn't hinder her at all; she runs incredibly fast.

Inside the palace.

On the table were roasted mutton, roasted camel hump, and sesame cakes, freshly served by the Imperial Kitchen.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were very few types of dishes and staple foods.

However, these are usually the little princess's favorite foods.

The little princess clearly doesn't have much of an appetite right now.

"Wasn't the little princess very hungry just now? Could it be that she has lost her appetite again? I must inform her," Dongmei thought to herself.

Li Mingda was no ordinary princess; she was the legitimate daughter of Empress Zhangsun.

She was the darling of the palace.

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten enough. Would you like to eat some more?"

The little princess shook her head. "I don't want to talk to you anymore~ Sister Dongmei is almost here, I want to play some more! Don't bother me, okay? I didn't call you, so please don't come in and bother me, or I'll get angry..."

After the little princess finished speaking, she nimbly turned around and went into her bedroom, closing the door behind her.

now.

The little princess's tummy was already full. If it were that mysterious "food," the little foodie princess might stuff some more into her tummy, but right now she was just waiting to secretly drink some sweet water.

Dongmei followed behind, wanting to push open the door and go in to see what was going on, but she was afraid of upsetting the little princess.

Finally, peeking through the crack in the door, he saw that the little princess was indeed playing with the rattle drum by herself, and he was relieved. So he told two palace maids to remove all the food.

Hearing Dongmei leave, Xiao Sizi knew she had successfully fooled her sister Dongmei. She quickly took her two short legs and went to the place where she had hidden the sweet water.

Using this trick, Xiao Sizi has successfully fooled Dongmei many times before.

At the same time.

The palace door of Princess Jinyang was pushed open. Princess Changle, Li Lizhi, slowly entered the palace.

She had a slender figure, stood gracefully, and had smooth, radiant skin.

She wore a crimson brocade dress with gold trim that trailed on the ground, the hem embroidered with subtle patterns of intertwined peonies, and her movements seemed to shimmer with light.

Her black hair was tied into a high bun, with a pearl-adorned hairpin at an angle, and a few strands of black hair gently fell beside her cheeks, making her face even more exquisite and picturesque.

Upon seeing Li Lizhi arrive, Dongmei quickly rose and went over to bow, saying, "This servant greets Your Highness, the Eldest Princess!"

Li Lizhi was the eldest daughter of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, and the most senior among the princesses.

Since Empress Zhangsun didn't come, Li Lizhi, who also lived in Fengyang Pavilion, had to take care of her other sisters.

"How about the rhinoceros?"

Li Lizhi spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, the little princess is fine in every other way, but she ate too little just now, and I was worried..."

Dongmei slowly recounted what had just happened.

"Yes, I understand. You may leave now."

"It is Your Highness."

Inside the palace bedroom, the little princess took a sip of sweet water, let out a small burp, and kept giggling.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out again.

"Sizi! Your older sister is here to see you. What are you doing? Why aren't you eating properly?"

"Big sister, I'm full!" the little princess called out in her childish voice.

"Really? I heard Dongmei say..."

When Li Lizhi came to Xiao Sizi, she smiled when she saw her younger sister's lazy and cute appearance.

So I reached out and touched her little tummy. The little princess's tummy was round and full, and she was occasionally burping.

He chuckled to himself, thinking, "It's most likely that Little Sizi sneaked away and ate it while Dongmei wasn't looking."
