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

Before long, the princes and princesses from Lanling and Gaoyang arrived, each bringing a gift for Xiao Sizi!

The little princess was receiving so many gifts that she couldn't handle them all, and her chubby baby face was beaming with joy.

"Big sister, second sister, mother, grandfather~ Here's my present!"

"Mother, I've already prepared this for you, here's a gold-threaded sachet~"

"Sister, I've prepared something for you too~"

……

The eunuchs and palace maids had already prepared the little princess's birthday banquet. Li Yuan held the little princess and sat in the main seat with Chengyang. Looking at his many grandchildren, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Please sit down, everyone. This is a family dinner, so please don't be shy and make yourselves at home."

"Uh-huh."

The three Li brothers and Li Lizhi sat at the table.

"Erlang, you sit with Gao Ming and Qingque. Your father wants you to stay with them."

His meaning was crystal clear: he wanted Li Shimin to sit at the table with the children.

Li Yuan calmly continued, "Your father is already quite old. Surely Erlang can grant your father even this small request?"

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll do whatever you say." Li Shimin felt increasingly frustrated.

Li Chengan, Li Tai, and young Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin, whose face was covered in dark lines, fearing that their father would vent his anger on them.

Therefore, they quickly lowered their heads and dared not speak casually.

Li Shimin plopped down next to them and ate a peach in a huff.

"Young master, come quickly, come quickly!" Li Yuan said impatiently.

"Hmm~" Jiang Fan was struggling to suppress his laughter; it was the first time he had ever seen Li Shimin so embarrassed.

The palace maids brought out the finest fruits, all of which were common in the Tang Dynasty.

Jiang Fan had tasted it in the Tang Dynasty, but it was much less sweet than the fruits of later generations.

Li Yuan tossed two dried dates to the two little ones, while keeping an eye on the children's toy cars not far away.

He said slowly, "Sizi, this is a chariot, isn't it? It can run very fast without horses."

The little princess ate a dried date, spat out the pit, and said in her adorable baby voice:

"Mmm, it's a little car, Grandpa, can I take you for a ride in the little car?"

Li Yuan's eyes showed a hint of interest as he smiled and said, "Sizi is so well-behaved and filial. Then, your grandfather will experience the little cart you mentioned."

"Hmm~ Hmm~" The little princess quickly broke free from her grandfather's embrace and took her short legs straight to the stroller by the door.

She wiggled her little feet as she got into the car, and I thoughtfully opened the door.

"Grandpa, come here quickly."

"Okay, Grandpa's coming right away." Ignoring everyone else, Li Yuan strode over and got into the carriage.

After the little princess saw that her grandfather was seated, she stepped on the gas pedal with her little feet.

The children's toy car started up and slowly drove through the hall.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded; he hadn't expected this little cart to be able to carry people on its own.

It was much nicer than a horse-drawn carriage, though a bit small. Sitting inside, he looked tall and strong.

"Grandpa, isn't it fun?" the little princess asked in her sweet, childish voice.

"Mmm, Grandpa likes it very much~" Li Yuan stroked his beard.

After the experience, Li Yuan carried the little princess to Li Shimin's side.

Curious, he asked, "Second Brother, where did you get this? Could it have been brought by that young Master Jiang?"

He felt something was strange about Jiang Fan the moment he saw him, from his clothes to his hairstyle.

They all stood out in the crowd, appearing as cranes among chickens.

I suddenly remembered the fairy brother that Si Zi mentioned to him last time, could it really be...?

Li Shimin then went on to exaggerate Jiang Fan's identity, claiming he came from Baiyujing, possessed all sorts of magical items, and could even make the heavens send rain... and so on.

Empress Zhangsun, standing to the side, hesitated upon hearing this, as if she wanted to speak but then stopped. Since her last return...

She never had a good opportunity to tell Li Shimin that Jiang Fan came from the future.

The main concern is that Erlang Shen might not be able to accept it, leading to the downfall of the Tang Dynasty...

Li Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at the handsome Jiang Fan and said with emotion:

"I never imagined such an unbelievable thing could happen. This is truly an incredible blessing for the rhinoceros!"

He pinched Xiao Sizi's fair cheek, feeling very gratified, and quickly sat back down.

Although I have many questions I want to ask, today is Jizi's birthday.

Besides, he's quite old now, and his curiosity isn't as strong as it was when he was younger.

But the more he looked at the young man, the more pleasing he found him to the eye; he even found him more pleasing to the eye than the second young man.

"Sizi, shall we eat some cake?" Jiang Fan suggested at this moment.

"Okay~" The little princess's eyes lit up.

Chengyang licked her soft, cute lips; she was already feeling a bit hungry.

The little princess's chubby face was beaming with smiles, and her big, watery eyes gazed expectantly at Jiang Fan's back.

Soon, Jiang Fan brought over the birthday cake.

Looking at the exquisite birthday cake, Li Yuan asked in confusion, "Young master, what is this?"

"Grandpa, this is a birthday cake, it's super delicious..." the little princess said eagerly.

Li Yuan gently stroked his beard, his heart filled with anticipation.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Fan opened the outer packaging box of the cake.

The Green Grassland cake is layered and decorated with various fruits around its edges.

The top layer is made of chocolate, strawberry, mango, and cream.

It looks exquisite and beautiful, making one's appetite irresistibly whetted.

Li Zhi stared at the birthday cake not far away, unable to bear it any longer.

He couldn't wait to get up and strode towards the little princess.

Li Chengan and Li Taiwei glanced imperceptibly at their grandfather beside them, feeling utterly uncomfortable.

They quickly followed suit, and the other princes and princesses naturally didn't want to fall behind.

"Brother, shall we make a wish next?" The little princess blinked her big, bright eyes.

"Yes, yes!" Chengyang agreed, "That's how it was done before!"

"Mmm~ That's it." Jiang Fan helped the little princess put on the complimentary birthday crown, then inserted two candles and lit them with a lighter.

"Sizi, now it's your turn to make a wish and then blow out the candles, understand?"

"Okay~ Wokji Island~"

The little princess wore a golden crown hat and a Lolita princess dress.

Her little feet, clad in duck shoes, made her look even more adorable and cute.

Everyone gathered around her, gazing at the little princess with great interest.

"This cake looks delicious!" Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaim.

"What Erlang said is quite right. Even I feel like I want to try this birthday cake now that I see it." Li Yuan rarely agreed with Erlang's words.

Empress Zhangsun looked at the father and son speechlessly.

"Sizi, have you thought of any wishes?" Li Chenggan asked gently.

"I've already thought of it..." The little princess raised her head high, feeling very happy to see everyone looking at her tenderly.
