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

Author Hu Xiaozhutian personally recommends: I hope you enjoy the story of "The Great Tang Dynasty: The Pot Master is a Duckling, and the Little Rhinoceros is Here" on Cola Novels.

"Guanyinbi, this rice..."

"It's even more translucent and the grains are just as fine as the rice from my Great Tang Dynasty." "Do all the immortals in Baiyujing eat this kind of fine rice?"

After Empress Zhangsun finished speaking, she took a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully.

Chew slowly and carefully, not wanting to miss any detail.

"Guanyinbi, how does it taste?"

"Fragrant! This fine rice not only has a unique aroma, but also a rich texture, combining softness, stickiness, and fragrance. If only the people of my Great Tang could all eat such fine rice..."

Empress Zhangsun dared not continue speaking—such an idea was simply impossible to realize.

Let alone refined rice, even millet is still a luxury that many people can't afford.

"Mommy, there's also nutritional drink and breast milk!"

Huffing and puffing, Little Sizi ran to the carriage outside, took out five or six bottles of milk, and handed them all to Empress Zhangsun.

After a while, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, dressed in magnificent robes, walked in from outside and then bowed to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun to greet them.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Grandma..."

"Brother? Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you at all!"

Xiao Si asked curiously, knowing that Li Chengqian was a big eater who was no less than Li Tai.

"Sizi, you're here too? Your brother missed you so much... I missed you so much."

The Yellow River has been flooding these past few days. My elder brother was sent by Grandpa to inspect the flood situation, and he just returned today. He came to visit Grandpa and Mom.

As Li Chengqian spoke, he took a deep sniff – “It smells so good!”

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Alright, your mother and I understand. You may leave now!"

"Step back..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. His father was really growing to dislike him more and more. Not only did he send a crown prince to inspect the flood, but he also gave him the cold shoulder at every turn.

Especially now that he had seen the pile of delicious food on the table, his eyes were shining, and he was unwilling to leave just like that.

Empress Zhangsun, seeing this from the side, rolled her eyes at Li Shimin:

"Chengqian has suffered these past few days. Fortunately, there are still some king crabs left from the delicacies that Sizi brought back. Your mother and grandfather didn't finish them, so you're lucky. Here's a bottle of nutritional drink for you to take home and enjoy slowly!"

Li Shimin: "..." I haven't even finished eating yet!

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at his mother, Empress Zhangsun. His eyes welled up with tears, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

In this world, the one who loves him the most is ultimately his mother.

As for my grandfather... well, let's not talk about him.

He accepted the bottle of nutritional drink and the remaining half of the king crab with both hands, and solemnly bowed deeply to Empress Zhangsun, his voice carrying a rare softness:

"Mother, I'll take my leave now."

"Go."

After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin turned to Empress Zhangsun and asked weakly:

"Guanyinbi, why did you give Chengqian such a big bottle of nutritional drink? I don't even get this kind of treatment! And you gave me king crab, I'm still not full..."

Empress Zhangsun smiled slightly and said, "As a father, how can you compete with your own son?"

Didn't you see how downcast Chengqian looked just now?

If we don't offer some words of comfort in time, this child might develop some kind of psychological trauma.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin disagreed: "He is the Crown Prince, the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty."

If he can't even handle this little thing, and his heart is so fragile, then he doesn't deserve to sit in this position, much less deserve to be my son, Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Empress Zhangsun shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Second Prince, don't you think that Chengqian's emotions are only vulnerable when he is facing you?"

He just wanted your approval and care, but what about you? How did you treat him?

"I……"

Suddenly, Li Shimin didn't know how to answer Empress Zhangsun's question; he had indeed shown some favoritism...

Little Sizi, standing to the side, looked blankly at her grandparents arguing incessantly. Finding it all too boring, she toddled back to find Jiang Fan to play.

When Empress Zhangsun noticed, she quickly stepped in front of Xiao Sizi and hugged her affectionately.

"Sizi, when you go to see your brother, would you mind taking some gifts for him?"

Upon hearing that a gift would be given to Guoguo, Xiaosizi immediately clapped her hands and cheered:

"Good duck, good duck, thank you, Mom!"

"Why are you thanking me, Mother?"

"Of course, it was Crab Granny who told me to bring this to Guoguo's house, because I've been staying there all day and never given her any money..."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun immediately patted Li Shimin on the shoulder: "Did you hear that? Bring out your copy of the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Gathering later and have Sizi take it with him!"

"All right!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin had no choice but to reluctantly part with it. Although it was an authentic work by his idol Wang Xizhi—the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion—it was absolutely Li Shimin's prized possession, and he was usually reluctant to show it to others.

But what's that compared to Little Sizi? Little Sizi has brought back quite a lot of food these past few times.

I have never asked Sizi to bring gifts or money over.

Although the main reason was to avoid neglecting the immortals, it was also an oversight on the part of the Li family.

Then Empress Zhangsun went to her desk, picked up a brush, and personally wrote a thank-you letter.

The final signature was that of Empress Zhangsun Wugou of the Tang Dynasty, and it was stamped with the Empress's personal seal.

She bent down, gently pressed Xiao Sizi's shoulders, and said, word by word, her instructions:

"Sizi, this is a letter your mother wrote. After you see your brother, you must personally hand it to him, understand?"

Little Sizi puffed out her little chest and nodded her little head vigorously:

"Mmm, mmm, don't worry, Mother, I've got your back!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned around and was eager to rush outside.

Seeing this, Li Shimin grabbed the little ox and pulled it back: "You're not taking the gift? You're going to go empty-handed, just with a letter?"

"Oh dear, I forgot! (*^__^*) Hehe"

Li Shimin then reluctantly packed the calligraphy and painting of the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion and handed it to Xiao Sizi.

Just as the little ox was about to be held in his chubby little hands, he saw that his grandfather wouldn't let go.

The cute little face immediately furrowed its brows, and it asked in a childish voice:

"Grandpa, why aren't you letting go? This is a gift for my son!"

"Ahem~ Grandpa is just reminding you to be careful not to break the calligraphy and paintings."

"It's a gift from Mom to my son..."

Li Shimin: "..."

"Mommy, I'm going there now. Don't miss me, okay? I'll stay at my father's house until I'm well-fed before I come back!"

Li Shimin: "..."

Empress Zhangsun: "..."

After driving back to her Fengyang Pavilion, Xiao Sizi took down the remaining snacks and hid them.

Then he drove towards the wall that connected to Jiang Fan's house.
