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

He chewed slowly for a couple of bites, his expression brightening. He turned and pulled Li Shimin's arm, saying:

"It's so delicious, Grandpa! This pig's head meat smells amazing! I want more!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "Eat as much as you like!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, Grandpa!"

Little Sizi walked over and said to Princess Gaoyang, "Sister Gaoyang, the person you should be thanking is the father, not the father!"

Li Shimin: "..." Why did he feel so cold inside?

However, Gao Yang was very clever and immediately understood. He went to stand in front of Jiang Fan.

He bowed slightly and performed a curtsy: "Gao Yang thanks Brother Jiang Fan."

Thank you so much, brother, for bringing us such delicious food and such a beautiful bag! I wonder what you'd like to give back, brother Jiang Fan?

"Repayment? I brought you delicious food without expecting anything in return. After all, you're all Sizi's older sisters..."

Not long after, Princess Puan, Princess Dongyang, Princess Linchuan, Princess Qinghe, Princess Lanling, and others also arrived.

However, compared to Li Lizhi and the others, their foreheads were covered in sweat.

After bowing to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, everyone's attention was drawn to the pig's head meat on the table.

However, due to the majesty of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, these princesses did not step forward without permission. After all, they were not little princesses and could not be too presumptuous.

Li Shimin looked at his daughters and waved with a smile:

"Come and eat, everyone. This was brought for you by your brother Jiang Fan. None of you have ever tried it before!"

Just as the pig's head meat on the table was almost finished, Li Tai, pulling on Li Ke's robe, finally arrived at the Lizheng Hall.

However, Li Ke was also exhausted by Li Tai, and he didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from his brow.

He hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, saying, "Your son greets Your Majesty and Your Mother!"

Li Shimin slightly raised his hand: "No need for formalities, you may join everyone in eating meat!"

"Eating meat? Could it be...?"

"Eat first, then ask again. Otherwise, it might be gone!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke no longer hesitated and squeezed into the princess circle, beginning to feast.

Li Tai watched from behind, his eyes wide with amazement. It was just that his own legs were too weak; he couldn't take another step.

If Li Ke hadn't dragged me here, I wouldn't have been able to get here.

I'm afraid I'm still halfway there. That's why Li Ke is late, because of me.

However, without him dragging him down, Li Ke was noticeably more agile and walked over in just a few steps.

Looking at myself, why are these useless legs so uncooperative? Why don't they take a step forward? Why?

Little Sizi could also see that his older brother was really useless.

However, out of sympathy, Xiao Sizi still asked Jiang Fan for a pig's tail...

"Brother, you're exhausted from walking on this island, so I'll give you a pig's tail!"

"(⊙o⊙) Ah! Pig's tail? You guys eat pig's head, and I, your older brother, get to eat pig's tail? This... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Since my brother isn't going to say 'seven,' then let's just say 'bird'..."

As he spoke, Little Sizi made a gesture as if to pull his pig tail back.

Seeing this, Li Tai immediately became anxious: "Brother didn't say he wouldn't eat! Sizi, don't go!"

"Brother was just saying that casually, don't take it seriously. Brother's eating, brother's eating pig's tail!"

At this point, Li Tai had no choice but to accept it; otherwise, he would have gone to the Lizheng Hall himself...

I could only watch others eat while I could only smell the aroma. At least I have a pig's tail to eat now, which is better than nothing.

So he took the pig's tail from the little ox, opened his mouth, and tentatively took a small bite.

Suddenly, his expression lit up: "(⊙o⊙) Mmm, this... pig's tail is so delicious, so incredibly delicious, woof—"

I don't know if Li Tai was infected by Xiao Sizi, but he also started eating with his own background music.

Seeing this, Xiao Sizi looked puzzled and asked Jiang Fan, "Brother, are pig tails really that good?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Otherwise what? If it wasn't delicious, your brother wouldn't be in such a state, would he?"

Hearing this, Little Sizi clapped his hands and stamped his foot in deep regret:

"I was careless. I shouldn't have given my brother the pig's tail. Hayashima is so nice, I should have kept it for myself..."

Jiang Fan: ":"..."

……

At this moment, Zhang Anan led ten eunuchs to the outside of the Lizheng Hall, each of them holding a piglet in their hands.

To prevent the piglets' cries from disturbing the emperor and empress, these eunuchs...

The pigs' snouts were all tightly bound with ropes, making it difficult for them to make any noise.

As for whether the piglets are comfortable or not, that's none of my business.

Zhang Anan then entered the Lizheng Hall and reported to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin learned that the eunuchs and piglets had arrived,

With an excited expression, she grabbed Jiang Fan's hand and walked outside.

Seeing this, the little ox turned and chased after it.

Trying to "steal" the pot from right in front of me? Impossible, absolutely impossible, I won't allow it.

After they came outside, the eunuchs quickly bowed and greeted Li Shimin.

After all, eunuchs were also divided into different ranks. These eunuchs who were responsible for castration usually had no chance to see His Majesty, so they naturally had to make a good impression.

After the greetings were exchanged, Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "You may all rise."

"I've summoned you here today so you can learn the art of castration from this young master!"

"what!"

The eunuchs were utterly bewildered, as their job was castration, and in the Tang Dynasty, no one was more skilled at it than them.

After all, who else has as many opportunities as them to be castrated?

Could it be that this person's castration technique is superior to theirs?

Although she had doubts in her heart, she dared not say them out loud, and could only turn her gaze to Jiang Fan for answers.

"Ahem... Uncle, don't say things that could be misunderstood," Jiang Fan said speechlessly.

An embarrassed Jiang Fan was then pushed in front of the eunuchs by Li Shimin: "Jiang Fan, you tell them, we're entrusting this to you so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can eat delicious pork. Thank you for your hard work!"

With just one sentence from Li Shimin, Jiang Fan was placed in a very high position, leaving him no choice but to bite the bullet and take the plunge.

Castrating piglets... I've never done it myself, but I know what it's all about.

So Jiang Fan walked up to one of the eunuchs, feeling quite awkward. "Call me 'Brother'? That doesn't seem very respectful. Call me... okay! Jiang Fan really didn't know what to call him."

However, the eunuchs were all quick-witted. Seeing Jiang Fan's predicament, they said, "Young master, please call me Little Li!"

"Okay, Little Li, could you please put the piglet on the ground and hold it down? Make sure it doesn't run away!"

After hearing this, Xiao Li did as instructed. After all, someone who could be treated with such courtesy by His Majesty must be someone of great importance, so doing as he was told was the right thing to do.
