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

The little princess stared in disbelief at the pretty dress, her innocent face beaming with joy.

"Brother, you look so good! I love it so much..."

"Mmm~" Chengyang stared intently at the little skirt, completely forgetting about the rice.

"Chengyang, when it's your birthday, your brother will give you a gift too," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"OK!"

Chengyang happily agreed, saying he hoped to come over for his birthday.

"Lizhi, you are the same."

"I...I'm not a child!" Li Lizhi retorted verbally, but secretly she was delighted.

"Sizi, elder sister, Chengyang will take you to change your clothes! We'll see Grandpa and Grandma later."

"Okay~ Okay~" The little princess's eyes were filled with joy.

A short while later, Li Lizhi led the two little ones, who were dressed up beautifully, downstairs.

The little princess, as the star of the day, was wearing a beautiful Lolita princess dress.

She has large, dark, bright eyes, long, thick eyelashes, and a fair, rosy complexion.

And with her distinctive chubby cheeks and two little buns on her head, she looks incredibly cute.

At this moment, the little princess happily squeezed her big, bright eyes into crescent-shaped slits.

She was wearing a pair of white, soft-soled duck shoes, with three-dimensional little bows adorning the uppers.

The toes peek out from the toe of the shoe, round and plump, with pink nails that look like five small seashells.

As she ran towards Jiang Fan with her short legs, the hem of her skirt swayed back and forth.

She was so round and plump that she looked like a lucky baby jumping out of a New Year's painting, and even her shadow exuded a soft and sweet charm.

"Daddy, is it pretty?" the little princess asked in her sweet, childish voice as soon as she arrived.

"Beautiful, beautiful!" Jiang Fan said, both amused and exasperated.

Hehe~

After Jiang Fan finished breakfast and packed his things, he drove the little princesses to the rented apartment.

Halfway there, I unexpectedly received a call from the cake shop.

They arrived at the rented apartment quickly, where Jiang Fan saw the staff who delivered the cake.

Jiang Fan first had the staff take the cake to the rented house, and then took the fireworks and other items from the car upstairs.

Because there were too many items, they could only be transported to the Tang Dynasty in batches.

After Li Lizhi had the fireworks set off, the group strode towards Lizheng Hall.

A moment later.

They arrived at the Lizheng Hall, where Li Shimin was handling official business with his head down, and Empress Zhangsun was by his side with heartache.

"Grandpa, Mom, we're back!"

The two little ones, with their chubby little legs, ran excitedly to their mother's side.

Empress Zhangsun gently stroked their heads and said softly, "Today is Sizi's birthday. Your mother thought you weren't coming back..."

"No way..." the little princess said with a grin, "I want to stay with my mother!"

My husband bought me a birthday cake! It's a Green Green Grassland cake, it's super cute...

"Mmm~ Mmm~" Chengyang nodded gently.

Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly and gave Jiang Fan a grateful look.

"Mother, isn't my little dress pretty?" Little Sizi didn't forget to show off her little dress.

"So beautiful! So beautiful!"

"Grandpa, isn't the little girl pretty?"

"Of course you're beautiful, Sisi, let Grandpa give you a good hug."

Li Shimin looked up, picked up the little princess, and affectionately pinched her fair and tender face.

"Sizi, have you missed your grandpa?"

"I want to, I want to," the little princess said in her sweet, childish voice, looking at her grandfather's expectant face.

"Mmm~ Mmm~" Chengyang's eyebrows lifted happily, "I miss my mom and grandpa so much.......

Li Shimin's smile deepened.

Jiang Fan greeted him with a smile, "Uncle-in-law, it seems you've been quite busy with official duties lately."

Li Shimin put down the little princess and said with a sigh, "This position of mine is not easy to hold."

People think being an emperor is easy, but that's just their limited perspective; they don't understand how hard I really worked.

He paused, then continued, "It's easy to be a tyrant, but extremely difficult to be a wise ruler."

We can't let our guard down at any time; we have a lot of official business to handle every day.

"Indeed!" Jiang Fan said cheerfully, "The livelihood of all the people in the Tang Dynasty rests on my uncle's shoulders. He carries an immense burden."

Li Shimin nodded in deep agreement, then smiled gratefully and said, "Jiang Fan, thank you. Your transmitter last time saved tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou."

And that thing you sent over, what's it called, "Dianhua Silver"? According to your method...

I just received news that the drought in several states and counties has been largely resolved.

"Uncle-in-law, we're all family, no need to be so polite," Jiang Fan waved his hand and smiled.

Two days ago, Jiang Fan returned from Liangzhou. Just then, the silver that Wang Hao had prepared arrived, so Jiang Fan bought five or six electric fans and sent them over as well.

"Haha, Jiang Fan is right, we're all family!" Li Shimin laughed happily.

"Auntie, you've just recovered from your illness, so you need to do some exercise."

Jiang Fan turned to Empress Zhangsun and said bluntly, "I brought you some badminton rackets. You can play with your uncle in your spare time."

This is very easy to play and doesn't require much physical exertion. Just spend a little time playing it each day to keep your muscles and bones moving.

"Okay, thank you, Jiang Fan. You're very kind," Empress Zhangsun said gently.

Li Lizhi respectfully handed the badminton racket to Empress Zhangsun.

"Brother, can I play badminton?" The little princess asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yeah, yeah!" Chengyang nodded in deep agreement. "It looks like so much fun."

The badminton racket is almost taller than you guys... Jiang Fan shook his head:

"Sizi, Chengyang, you can't play with this anymore. You can play when you're a little older."

"Okay then..."

"Uncle, let us demonstrate," Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Mm-hmm." Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Then, Jiang Fan took out a piece of chalk from his pocket, drew a line on the ground, and introduced:

"Uncle, we're hitting the shuttlecock with our rackets using this white line as the dividing point... The shuttlecock has to cross this line to be considered successful."

Chengyang and the little princess stood beside them, cheering for Guoguo.

"Go, Jiang Fan!!!"

"Go for it, buddy!!!"

Empress Zhangsun watched this scene with great interest, finding badminton very interesting and its rules quite simple and easy to understand.

Li Lizhi's pupils flickered slightly, her bright eyes filled with anticipation as she silently cheered for Fan Ge.

Hearing his two beloved daughters completely side with Jiang Fan, Li Shimin's lips twitched violently, and his forehead was covered in black lines.

"Mmm, Sizi, Chengyang, watch Guoguo's serve~"

"Okay~ Okay~" The two little ones clapped their hands happily.

Jiang Fan gripped the racket, held the shuttlecock in his left hand, gently put it down, and then suddenly exerted force with his right wrist, striking it hard.
