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

Chapter 296 Li Shimin and Li Yuan secretly drive a children's stroller!

"Mmm, Sizi is great." Jiang Fan squatted down and gently touched her delicate nose.

"Big brother, open your mouth wide, open it really wide~" The little princess used her chubby little hands to fork some cake.

"Okay~" Jiang Fan replied with a smile.

The little princess gently fed the cake to Jiang Fan, her big, bright eyes staring straight at him.

"Isn't it better now?"

"Mmm~"

"Hehe~" The little princess raised her eyebrows cheerfully, "I'll continue feeding the pot~"

"Okay~"

After everyone ate cake for a while, the banquet began, and all sorts of delicacies from the Tang Dynasty were served.

Li Shimin also instructed Zhang Anan to bring over his Maotai. Then, carrying the remaining Maotai from before, he walked to his grandfather's side and respectfully said, "Grandfather, this is the fine wine that Jiang Fan sent last time. I've been reluctant to drink it, but you should try it too. It tastes quite good."

"You're so kind, Erlang~" Li Yuan felt a warmth in his heart, but his expression remained unpleasant.

Li Yuan took a bite of the mutton served by the palace maid, smelled the strong aroma of wine, a faint smile appeared on his face, picked up the wine cup, and subconsciously put it into his mouth.

"Grandpa, this wine is rather..." Li Shimin was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Li Yuan smacked his lips, feeling a burning sensation in his throat. "Second Brother, this is good wine! It's so spicy, but it's really refreshing to drink."

"Come here, have a drink with Grandpa."

Li Zhi appeared beside them unnoticed, took a bite of cake, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'd like some too. Could I have a little bit?"

"Of course~" Li Yuan said cheerfully, "However, Zhinu can only drink a little."

"Brother, this wine cup is so good, it's spicy!" Little Sizi reminded him in his childish voice.

"Mhm," Chengyang nodded in agreement.

"I'll just have a small sip." Li Zhi was somewhat skeptical. He took the glass of wine, took a small sip, and his face immediately burned. "It's so spicy, so spicy, it doesn't taste good at all~ It doesn't taste good at all~"

Li Yuan stroked his beard, a smile on his face, "Zhi Nu, you'll like to drink this when you grow up~"

"I won't drink it even when I'm all grown up~" Li Zhi shook his head like a rattle drum.

"When you grow up, if your grandfather sees you drinking, he'll definitely give you a good spanking," Li Yuan joked.

"Okay~ I will never drink alcohol again~" Li Zhi nodded heavily.

"Go have fun, don't disturb me and your grandfather's drinking," Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Hmm~" Li Zhi quickly went to find Chengyang and the little princesses to play.

Looking at his children and grandchildren playing and laughing in the palace, Li Yuan felt gratified, and his gaze towards Erlang softened.

"Grandpa, let me toast you." Li Shimin raised his wine cup.

"Mmm~" Li Yuan nodded and toasted him.

Empress Zhangsun was happy for Her Majesty as she watched the harmonious relationship between him and her father.

Before long, everyone had finished their meal and drinks, leaving only Li Shimin and his son Li Yuan at the table.

"Brother Fan, who knows how long Grandpa and Grandfather will be drinking. Today is still the Lantern Festival. Lizhi will take you to the palace! I'll secretly take you out of the palace tonight."

At this moment, Li Lizhi quietly approached Jiang Fan and whispered something.

"Alright! I'll talk to my uncle and the old man first."

"Brother Fan, no need, no need. Grandpa is drinking with Grandpa, let's not disturb them. As for Sizi, he's playing with Grandma, so we don't need to bother him either." Li Lizhi pulled Jiang Fan and prepared to leave.

Unfortunately, Xiao Sizi's big, bright eyes were like a ruler; she turned her head and immediately spotted her illicit older sister.

"Sister, where are you taking my little pot?"

Little Sizi slid down from Empress Zhangsun's arms, ran over with his short legs, raised his little head, and asked in a childish voice.

Seeing this, Chengyang followed suit, panting heavily.

"Aren't you playing with your mother? Ah—Sister is taking Fan-ge for a walk," Li Lizhi said speechlessly.

"That nest is going too! Is Second Sister going?"

"I'm going too!"

"Sister, I'm going too, I'm going too~" Li Tai and Li Chengqian followed suit. They also wanted to get along well with Jiang Fan, since Jiang Fan not only had all kinds of delicious food, but also all kinds of strange and wonderful objects.

Li Lizhi: "————"

"What are you all going to see? Let Lizhi and Sizi take care of them!" Empress Zhangsun said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian and Li Tai's faces fell, and their hearts were filled with disappointment.

"Okay, okay, there are so many people, don't disturb Jiang Fan. You two should come and keep Grandpa company."

"We know~" they forced themselves to perk up.

Li Shimin gave them a wink.

"Brother Jiang Fan, you go and have fun. We'll keep Grandpa and Grandfather company with our meal and drinks," Li Chengqian said at this moment.

"OK."

Immediately afterwards, Li Lizhi took Jiang Fan and her sisters out.

Seeing that her daughters had all left, Empress Zhangsun also departed with Li Zhi. Li Yuan and Li Shimin simultaneously stopped drinking.

He strolled leisurely over to the Sizi and Chengyang children's toy cars and slipped inside.

"Grandpa, let me teach you how to open it."

"Mmm~ Erlang, you're so thoughtful." Li Yuan said excitedly.

"Grandpa, isn't it easy to drive?"

"Indeed, it's a lot of fun to drive. Erlang, why don't you drive one too? Let's have a competition."

"Okay." Li Shimin's face lit up with joy. Seeing that his grandfather had learned how to play, he leisurely played along with him.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai: "??????"

Didn't we agree to have dinner together? Why are you all sneaking off to play by yourselves?

Li Chengqian and Li Tai had black lines all over their foreheads, but the old Deng father and son ignored them and happily played by themselves.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian and Li Tai exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

On the other side, Li Lizhi was showing Jiang Fan around the palace. Compared to usual, the palace maids and eunuchs were unusually busy today, obviously preparing for the upcoming Lantern Festival.

Li Lizhi had mentioned the Lantern Festival before, and Jiang Fan had specifically gone back to check. In the Tang Dynasty, the Lantern Festival could be described as a grand festival celebrated throughout the country, with a scale and liveliness far exceeding imagination. The entire palace would make very thorough preparations for this grand feast.

Soon the group arrived outside Anfu Palace and saw another huge building in front of them, about forty meters high. Jiang Fan was dumbfounded. It was too luxurious. The main body of the lantern tower was made of colorful silk cloth tied and bound together, and then supported by a wooden frame.

The exterior is adorned with numerous precious ornaments such as pearls, jade, and gold and silver tassels.

When the wind blows, the pearls and jade clink together, producing a melodious sound that is truly "adorned with brocade and jewels, and decorated with gold and jade."
