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

Just then, Li Shimin's other children also arrived.

The moment they saw Li Shimin, all the princes and princesses were stunned.

I can't believe this is my grandfather. How come... he looks like a completely different person?

As the eldest son and crown prince, Li Chengqian was the first to recover from his shock and bowed to Li Shimin, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty!"

Then the other children also bowed and greeted him. Li Shimin smiled and nodded, then said:

"Come here, all of you, and greet Young Master Jiang. From now on, he will be your elder brother. Remember that?"

"I will heed my father's teachings—"

The children answered in unison.

These words gave Jiang Fan no chance to refuse; Li Shimin wanted to bring himself and Jiang Fan closer once again.

Li Chenggan approached Li Shimin and asked, "Father, I heard that Mother has returned. Is that true?"

"Your mother is in the palace right now. Go and pay your respects to her."

"Your subject takes his leave—"

Li Chengan turned around and walked inside, followed by his brothers and sisters.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Fan took the camouflage sun hat.

He slammed it directly onto Li Shimin's head: "Come on, Old Li, this is a sun hat for you, feel it!"

After speaking, Jiang Fan turned on the small fan on the brim of his hat.

The constant, strong wind blowing on Li Shimin's face instantly cooled him down.

After Li Chenggan brought his younger siblings to the little princess's palace...

Then they saw Empress Zhangsun sitting in a rattan chair, fiddling with the sun hat on her head.

The breeze from the small fan on the brim of her hat sent a slight chill through Empress Zhangsun's face.

With the help of an electric fan, I was finally spared the suffering of the heat.

Li Chenggan approached Empress Zhangsun, bowed, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty good health..."

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty..."

Led by Li Chengqian, the other children also bowed and greeted Empress Zhangsun.

Empress Zhangsun, with a pleased smile on her face, gently raised her hand and said:

"Please, no need for formalities, have a seat. Since you're all here, why not try this popsicle? It'll help cool you down!"

Upon hearing about food, Li Tai was the first to lose his composure, squeezing to the front to stand next to Li Chengan and asking:

"Mother, what is a popsicle? What does it look like? Is it tasty?"

Seeing this, Li Chengan sternly reprimanded Li Tai, "Qingque, how dare you be so rude!"

However, Li Tai continued to press Empress Zhangsun for answers, clearly not intending to give his elder brother any face.

Upon seeing this scene, Empress Zhangsun felt a pang of anxiety.

Previously, I only heard Jiang Fan say that the throne was later passed to Zhinu.

However, he didn't find out why Gao Ming lost his position as crown prince, which left him somewhat puzzled.

Looking at Qingque again, one could sense that the child no longer seemed to have much respect for Gaoming.

It seems I need to give Qingque a warning. I can ask Jiang Fan about Gao Ming's matter when I have the chance later.

So he said to Qingque, "Qingque, did you hear what your brother said?"

Faced with his mother's question, Li Tai no longer dared to be arrogant.

Even if he was favored by his father, it didn't mean his mother wouldn't beat him.

He quickly turned around, bowed to Li Chengan, and said, "Qingque will remember your teachings, elder brother!"

Although it was somewhat perfunctory, it was appropriate in front of so many younger siblings.

Not wanting to delve too deeply into the matter, Empress Zhangsun simply ordered someone to bring over the old popsicles that Jiang Fan had brought, open the box, and start taking out popsicles from inside.

"Gao Ming, you should share these with your younger siblings!"

"Your subject obeys—"

Li Chengan walked to the front and began distributing popsicles to everyone.

Although I haven't seen the popsicle in my hand, I can tell from the taste that it must be delicious.

Especially in such a hot summer, it's truly amazing to have food made with ice.

Princess Gaoyang, Princess Yuzhang, and their sisters received the popsicles.

They asked each other questions, seemingly wanting to know how to eat this.

Empress Zhangsun smiled and carried Princess Gaoyang to her side, gently tearing off the wrapper from the popsicle.

The milky white popsicle inside was revealed, emitting a chilling aura.

"Eat quickly, or it'll melt!"

"Thank you, Mother!"

Princess Gaoyang said this very politely, then took a small bite.

It's icy cold and crunchy, with a sweet and sour taste and a rich milky aroma.

The aroma immediately captivated Princess Gaoyang.

After taking another bite, I was even more certain that this popsicle was delicious.

So she tiptoed and offered the popsicle to Empress Zhangsun: "Mother, you should have some too, it's so sweet!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled with satisfaction and waved her hand, saying, "I've already eaten, you can eat by yourself!"

"But this popsicle is so delicious! Mom, please have a bite!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled with satisfaction and gently patted Princess Gaoyang's head, saying:

"Mother has tasted enough. Besides, this stuff is too cold, so I can't eat too much. Mother won't eat anymore. You eat it yourself!"

Just then, Li Chenggan finished his popsicle.

Seeing the hats worn by Xiao Sizi and her mother, he asked Empress Zhangsun:

"Mother, what kind of hat is this? It's like a fan, it can blow air out of it, it's truly amazing!"

Empress Zhangsun said with a smile, "This is a hat sent by Jiang Fan. It can be used to cool off, just like a fan."

In Jiang Fan's area... there's another kind of air conditioning, even cooler, but you wouldn't be able to imagine it even if I told you. Try this hat on too.

"Thank you, Mother!"

After Li Chengan put on the hat, the wind immediately blew directly onto his face, and he felt much cooler.

Just then, Li Shimin walked over and said, "Guanyinbi, today I want to host a grand banquet for Jiang Fan. Let's set up the carriage in the Lizheng Hall now."

"Alright then~"

Before long, the group set off for the Lizheng Hall, with Li Shimin riding his electric scooter at breakneck speed ahead.

Xiao Sizi drove Jiang Fan, while Li Lizhi rode an electric scooter with Empress Zhangsun. Chengyang brought...

In the blink of an eye, the group disappeared, with Zhang Anan leading the eunuchs and palace maids in a frantic chase.

Li Chengan, Li Tai, and others... could only follow behind.

~

Li Shimin sped along, then turned around and saw that only Si Zi and Jiang Fan were still closely following behind. He couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He had spent a lot of time riding his bicycle in the palace these days, and he remembered how Little Si had looked down on his riding skills.

Li Shimin, who was very concerned about his image, naturally wanted to show off in front of his most beloved little princess.
