Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

As dusk settled and a cool evening breeze blew, it inevitably chilled my damp body.

Li Yinxun was worried that the two girls would catch a cold from the wind, "Come on, let's go upstairs and change our clothes, or we'll catch a cold."

Upon hearing that she was leaving, the little princess immediately opened her arms and skillfully pounced on Li Yinxun.

"Auntie, hug me!"

Li Yinxun gently picked up the clingy Sizi with one hand, and then reached out to Chengyang.

Chengyang obediently stepped forward and was steadily supported by Li Yinxun.

Li Lizhi followed slowly, reaching out to help Li Yinxun open the door, and the four of them returned to the villa's bedroom together.

The villa features intelligent temperature control throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere as soon as you enter.

After changing my clothes and stepping out of the room, I could smell the aroma of food wafting from the direction of the restaurant.

Green Ivy, Azure Mist, and Jade Pearl had just prepared a table full of steaming hot dinner: braised pork ribs, steamed sea bass, mushroom and chicken soup, garlic bok choy, and cucumber salad.

They were all personal maids who followed the princess around on weekdays. Since the princess spent a lot of time in the modern world, it was inconvenient to assign them other tasks. Therefore, Empress Zhangsun arranged for them to travel back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and the modern world with the princess, and to be responsible for cooking three meals a day.

Firstly, it would make it easier to take care of the two little princesses, and secondly, it would allow them to systematically learn modern cooking techniques so that when they return to the palace, they can bring these new cooking skills into the imperial kitchen to improve the palace cuisine and raise the level of culinary skills.

At first, the three of them were at a loss when faced with the modern gas stove, rice cooker, and microwave oven, and almost blew up the kitchen.

Li Yinxun taught them step by step for a few days, and then had them practice repeatedly by following the cooking videos on their phones. Now the three of them can cook a decent meal, and occasionally they can even come up with a few creative dishes. Their progress is rapid.

The three of them lead a very leisurely modern life, only needing to cook at mealtimes, and can arrange their time freely otherwise.

This relaxed and comfortable life often made them feel dazed, as if they were not servants but rather enjoying a life of luxury in the modern world.

However, the three were honest and dutiful, always keeping in mind the proper etiquette and respect for hierarchy. They never took advantage of their favor and became lax, and dared not lose their sense of propriety as servants. They were respectful, courteous, and diligent in their work.

Looking at the table laden with delicious food, Li Yinxun said, "Thank you for your hard work. You always make so much."

Green Ivy: "Sister Xun, you flatter us. It's our blessing to serve you. It's not hard work at all."

The seven people sat around a table and officially began their dinner.

The first few times they ate, the three palace maids refused to sit at the table, saying that they could not sit with their masters and that they would only feel at ease kneeling beside them to serve the dishes.

Li Yinxun tried everything to persuade him, even deliberately putting on a stern face, before she could finally get him to sit down on the stool.

Even so, the three of them behaved very well, only picking up the dishes in front of them with their chopsticks.

The little princess placed a piece of chicken into Li Yinxun's bowl, its soft texture inviting her to eat.

"Auntie, this is so delicious!"

Next up were spare ribs.

"Auntie, this one is delicious too!"

Cheng Yangzi is gentle and quiet, never arguing or making a fuss. Seeing Si Zi frequently serving food to Li Yin, she follows suit.

The two little princesses, one lively and the other gentle, took turns feeding Li Yinxun, and before long, her bowl was piled high with food.

Looking at the ever-growing pile of food in her bowl, Li Yinxun felt a warm glow in her heart, thoroughly healed by the two little girls' favoritism and sincerity.

"Alright, alright, Auntie's bowl is full, you all need to eat properly too." Li Yinxun said with a wry smile, pressing down on Sizi's little hand that was about to pick up more food.

Sizi pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Seven for Auntie is too little, we need more seven!"

Li Yin's heart melted, and she obediently shoveled a big mouthful of rice into her mouth.

"Okay, okay, Auntie will eat more, and you all should eat more too."

Li Lizhi watched quietly as her two younger sisters clung to her and acted spoiled. Alas, she was no longer the older sister her sisters loved most.

Halfway through the meal, Li Yin suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Empress Zhangsun in a long time. "By the way, why didn't my sister and brother-in-law come with me? It's been quite a while since I've seen them."

Li Lizhi explained, "The Tang Dynasty is nearing its end, and there are only half a month left until the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony. The various rituals, sacrificial procedures, and banquet regulations in the palace all need to be finalized and prepared by my parents personally. They are busy with court affairs and palace matters every day and are unable to come."

Upon hearing about the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, Li Yinxun became curious.

She had never seen a traditional ancient court banquet before. She had seen many on TV, but those were all staged and could not compare to the shock of watching it live.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he asked the question.

"Can I go to the Tang Dynasty to see the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony?"

Li Lizhi readily agreed, "Of course you're welcome. I was planning to invite my aunt anyway."

"Okay, I'll go. I'm going back to my hometown to visit relatives in a couple of days. Would you be interested in coming with me?"

Li Lizhi hesitated slightly, "Wouldn't it be too much trouble to go so abruptly? Won't it disturb your family?"

"What do you mean by disturbing me? Why are you being so formal with me? I only have my parents and younger brother at home. They are kind and simple. My parents are overjoyed to see how beautiful you are."

Li Lizhi was amused by her, and the last trace of worry in her heart gradually dissipated.

Upon hearing this, the little princess eagerly raised her hand and shouted excitedly.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!"

"Alright, alright, everyone go."

After finishing their meal, Yuzhu and Qinglan cleaned up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. "Yuzhu, I never imagined that the descendants would develop like this. I am always amazed every time I wash the dishes."

"Yes, it's so convenient, no more touching greasy oil."

Li Yinxun was snuggled up on the sofa with her two little princesses watching cartoons when her phone suddenly rang.

Picking up her phone, she was slightly surprised. Why would Guo Qian call at this hour?

When he answered the phone, Guo Qian's voice was steady, "Wife, I'm at your apartment door, aren't you home? Why won't you open the door for me?"

Li Yinxun was startled. She had kept everything that had happened after meeting the little princess a secret and hadn't told anyone yet.

After a brief moment of thought, she decided it was time to tell Guo Qian the secret honestly.

Guo Qian's sincerity towards her is beyond doubt.

Li Yin found Li Lizhi and said, "Lizhi, I need to go out for a while and will bring a friend back with me. Don't be afraid."

Li Lizhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded gently, "Okay, go ahead."

The little princess, who had somehow caught up with us, exclaimed, "I want to go too!"

In the little princess's mind, when her aunt goes out, it means she's going out to play.

Li Lizhi was perceptive and perceptive. She understood that Li Yinxun's trip was for important private matters, so she quickly and gently coaxed her.

"Sizi, stay home obediently. Auntie has important business to attend to. If you go with her, it will delay things."

The little princess, always clingy, stubbornly shook her head, "No, no! I want to go with Auntie!"

Li Yinxun squatted down, intending to coax her, but looking into the little girl's big eyes, her heart softened and she couldn't bear to leave her behind.

"Okay, okay, let's go together."

The little princess happily raised her hands, "Oh my go, time to go out!"

Li Lizhi glanced helplessly at Li Yinxun, then hesitated to speak.

"Auntie, you spoil Sizi too much."
