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

It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

Lizheng Hall.

"Alright, Lao Li, you can rest assured about Empress Zhangsun. Let's set off now!"

"Let me escort you to Fengyang Pavilion," Li Shimin said slowly. He wanted to go with them, but he had to attend to important state affairs.

"Grandpa, no need, I will take good care of Mom."

"I can do that too!"

"Very well then! Young Master Jiang, I entrust Guanyinbi to you. As long as you can cure the Empress's illness, I, Li Shimin, am willing to become sworn brothers with you."

Li Lizhi: "..."

Jiang Fan: "..."

Jiang Fan, accompanied by the three princesses and Empress Zhangsun, first went to Xiao Sizi's palace.

"Mother, when we get to Guoguo's house, I'll give you the best food," the little girl said in her childish voice.

In Xiao Sizi's mind, what her brother has is hers; that's how willful she is.

After hearing this, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.

Then, to Empress Zhangsun's astonishment, they arrived at Jiang Fan's bedroom.

The room was strange and unfamiliar, everything was new and exciting, but it had nothing to do with the luxury that Lizhi and the others had described.

Moreover, the place is very small, with only one bed. Could it be that her precious daughter has been sleeping with Jiang Langjun all these days?

Empress Zhangsun didn't mind the two little babies, but Li Lizhi was already of marriageable age.

This……

Although Empress Zhangsun trusted Jiang Fan's character, she still asked, "Lizhi, do you all live here?"

"No, Mother, this is just one of Fan-ge's residences. He also has a very large villa where Li-zhi and his sisters live!"

Li Lizhi, being quick-witted, knew that her mother had misunderstood, and explained with a blush on her face.

"Yes, yes, young master has also prepared a very big and beautiful room for Mother!"

"Wow, my room is beautiful too!"

The two little dumplings chimed in with their own childish voices, not wanting to be outdone.

Empress Zhangsun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"It's too crowded here, let's go back to the villa first! Empress Zhangsun, please rest for the night, I'll take you for a check-up tomorrow," Jiang Fan said.

"It's all up to Young Master Jiang!"

"You're welcome. By the way, this isn't Baiyujing, this is my hometown."

And when we get to the hospital tomorrow, you can't call me Mr. Jiang anymore!

"Why is that? If we don't address you as Young Master Jiang, how should we address you?"

"Just call me by my name, Jiang Fan."

"Addressing my lord by his given name directly...is that perhaps inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. We call people by their first names here, or you can call me Xiao Jiang or Xiao Fan, it's all fine!"

"Furthermore, I can no longer address you as Empress when outsiders are around; your current name is on your ID card."

Then Jiang Fan looked at Xiao Sizi and instructed, "Sizi, Chengyang, and Lizhi, from now on, when there are outsiders around, you can't call her 'Mother' anymore. You have to call her 'Mama,' understand?"

"(⊙o⊙) Ah! Who's Mom?"

"Mama is the same as 'mother'. Calling someone 'mama' here means calling them 'mother,' so here..."

Remember to change how you address someone to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, understand?

"I've got it," Chengyang said immediately, and Li Lizhi nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl called out to Empress Zhangsun, "Mama—"

Empress Zhangsun was initially somewhat uncomfortable with this title.

But seeing the little girl calling out in her childish voice seemed to give Empress Zhangsun plenty of courage.

She gently ruffled Sizi's bun: "Yes, Mom's here..."

Jiang Fan pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks: "When there are no outsiders, you can call her 'Aniang' or 'Mama'!"

"Brother, I'm so glad I came here! I'm such a smart little guy!"

"Brother Jiang Fan, I understand too!"

Upon exiting the door, Empress Zhangsun, standing at the right-hand window, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scenery outside.

The completely different world before my eyes has overturned all my understanding of the past thirty years.

Adults are far less capable of accepting new things than children.

Children naturally have many imaginative ideas, and because of their naivety, they may find unreasonable things to be reasonable.

Adults are different. Their worldview and cognition are mature and solidified, making it difficult for them to accept concepts and things they cannot understand.

The skyscrapers outside exceeded my understanding of building height.

Being in such a tall building, Empress Zhangsun suddenly felt a sense of dread due to the height and instinctively took a step back.

Downstairs is a gray-black street, mostly filled with moving boxes, except for a few pedestrians.

Compared to pedestrians, these boxes are quite large.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the trees, it seemed as if I didn't recognize anything.

Everything was so unfamiliar that it left me feeling lost and helpless.

"Mother, the elevator is over here!" Li Lizhi pointed out the way to Empress Zhangsun.

"elevator?"

"It's a tool for going downstairs."

Li Lizhi felt a little uncomfortable when she first rode in an elevator, so she told Empress Zhangsun in advance.

Empress Zhangsun was just wondering if it would take a long time to get down from such a tall building.

She had heard of elevators from her daughter, but had never seen one.

The little princess and Chengyang, panting heavily, ran ahead and pressed the elevator button.

After waiting a while, the elevator doors opened!

"Mother, this is the elevator, let's go in!" Li Lizhi explained.

Empress Zhangsun saw a large box, which was not what she had imagined.

"Can I go downstairs once I'm inside?"

"Yes!"

Li Lizhi and Empress Zhangsun walked into the elevator together.

The elevator doors closed, and when they reopened a while later, we were already on the basement level.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Empress Zhangsun glanced back at the closing elevator doors.

Everything in this world is too bizarre; it's normal to see strange things.

Soon, Jiang Fan brought Empress Zhangsun to the front of the carriage. Looking at the large box, it was just like the ones Empress Zhangsun had seen on the balcony.

Seeing her mother's surprised expression, Li Lizhi explained, "This is Brother Fan's car."

"Is this a car?"

"Let's go! Mother, try sitting on it!"

Jiang Fan opened the passenger door. It was Empress Zhangsun's first time sitting in it, and she was a little awkward. It took her a while to finally sit down.

He sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seatbelt first, setting an example for Empress Zhangsun.

This was very simple for Empress Zhangsun; she learned it at a glance.

"Is this alright, Jiang... Fan?"

Empress Zhangsun didn't ask what the seatbelt was for; she simply did as Jiang Fan instructed.

"Okay, let's start!" Jiang Fan reminded them when he saw that the two little ones and Li Lizhi were also seated.

The car then slowly started moving, and Empress Zhangsun unconsciously smiled.

This car is amazing! It's completely enclosed, the seats are soft, and there's a cool breeze blowing out – it's so comfortable!
