The two of them traveled through the Tang Dynasty to open a supermarket, and the little Sizi was sup

Chapter 125 The Little Princess of Chengyang is Searching for Her Sister!

Li Lizhi hesitated to speak, while the little princess, upon returning, was drowsy in Xiao Ran's arms.

It's not hot anymore, and I'm feeling sleepy again.

"Changle, wait a moment." Xiao Ran knew what Li Lizhi wanted to say.

"it is good!"

Li Lizhi didn't rush to go back and sat down comfortably next to Xiao Ran.

I reached out and touched the little princess's forehead; it was much better than before.

The little princess quickly fell asleep in Xiao Ran's arms.

Xiao Ran carefully picked up the little princess and carried her back to the bedroom, where she lay down on his bed to sleep.

Cover the little princess with a summer blanket.

"Changle, wait a moment."

The two walked out of the bedroom, and Xiao Ran said, "It's hot now, let's take some chilled watermelon back with us."

I haven't brought any fruit these past few days, and we're almost out.

Before Li Lizhi could say anything, Xiao Ran interrupted her, "These things aren't worth much money. You've already given a lot of money, so this is nothing."

Li Lizhi is also a girl, and not very strong, so we definitely can't let her carry it back.

Xiao Ran prepared a cart and had Li Lizhi take it back.

Not just watermelons, but also lychees and other fruits.

Now that the little princess is asleep, Xiao Ran can only escort Li Lizhi.

Xiao Ran pulled Li Lizhi's arm with one hand and the cart with the other as they entered the mirror.

Hearing the noise, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Yuzhang looked up and saw Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi had returned, but the little princess was not there.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was also there, Empress Zhangsun also stood up.

Xiao Ran, who originally wanted to go back, was in no hurry to leave.

"Your Highness, Sixth Sister"

"Your Highness, don't worry, Sizi is fine now. She's taken some medicine and fallen asleep," Xiao Ran said simply.

"Thank you for your help again," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.

"These are minor matters. Sizi is alone in the room, so I need to go back first." Xiao Ran pointed to the screen.

"Very well!" Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly.

Xiao Ran put down the cart and went behind the screen.

Empress Zhangsun and Princess Yuzhang also noticed the watermelons and pile of fruit on the cart.

Princess Yuzhang squatted down and touched it. "It's chilled!"

"Well, the young master said it was hot, so he took more," Li Lizhi said.

"Girl, send a watermelon to your grandfather and father-in-law respectively. You can also arrange the other fruits. Take one to give to the princess's courtyard, and keep one for yourself," Empress Zhangsun said.

"Yes, mother!"

Princess Chengyang seemed to sense something and reached out to touch it.

I couldn't touch the little princess; it was all empty.

There was no one else on the bed.

Princess Chengyang slowly opened her eyes and looked around for the little princess.

He even looked at the ground.

"Sizi!" A childish voice rang out from the inner hall.

Hearing the commotion, Shuying, who was not far away, quickly went over. "Your Highness! This servant is here!"

"The rhinoceros is gone!" Princess Chengyang's little face was full of terror.

"Your Highness, the young prince of Jinyang has gone to other places," Shuying explained.

Princess Chengyang was worried. "I want to get up. I want to find my mother!"

"Yes!" Shuying helped Princess Chengyang put on her shoes.

Princess Chengyang ran out of the inner palace, calling out, "Mother!"

Li Lizhi and the others, who were preparing to cut a watermelon at the table, turned to look in the direction of Princess Chengyang. Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Just in time, Second Sister has also woken up." "Mother, Sizi is missing!" Princess Chengyang's voice was slightly anxious.

He ran to Empress Zhangsun's side, his eyes filled with helplessness and self-blame.

It seems he blames himself for not taking good care of his younger sister.

Empress Zhangsun gently picked up Princess Chengyang. "Sizi woke up first and went to find the young master. These are melons that Sizi brought back for Second Madam. Sizi will be back in a little while."

They didn't mention anything about the little princess being sick or uncomfortable.

Shuying and the other palace maids knew but wouldn't say anything.

"This is chilled, Second Sister, have a taste." Li Lizhi cut a piece for Princess Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang took the watermelon and felt its coldness.

She didn't eat any herself, but handed the food to Empress Zhangsun, saying, "Mother, you eat first."

Empress Zhangsun smiled with satisfaction, took a small bite, and said, "Mmm, so sweet!"

Before the birth of the little princess, Princess Chengyang was the one who received the most love and affection.

Princess Chengyang showed no dissatisfaction with the arrival of the little princess, and when no one else was around, the little princess was always protected.

Upon hearing Empress Zhangsun's explanation, Princess Chengyang didn't think much of it.

The group started eating watermelon.

Eating chilled watermelon at midday is truly a treat.

"It's so juicy, this watermelon is delicious." Princess Yuzhang looked at the watermelon in her hand.

“The young master said before that this kind seems to be a bit more expensive,” Li Lizhi also remembered.

"Seems to be"

Tai Chi Hall

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, and other core ministers of the Zhenguan era were all present.

The atmosphere was fairly harmonious, except that Wei Zheng would occasionally criticize Li Shimin, but Li Shimin got used to it, and so did everyone else.

Zhang Anan walked up to Li Shimin, bent down, and said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress has sent someone to deliver something."

"Bring it here!" Li Shimin said before Zhang Anan could finish speaking.

Zhang Anan nodded, "It is His Majesty!"

When Li Shimin saw the watermelon, the corner of his mouth twitched.

I could have eaten a lot before, but now I guess I only have one piece left.

When the watermelon appeared, everyone else stared at it intently.

Those who had eaten watermelon, especially Fang Xuanling and a few others, were even more astonished; their eyes widened in disbelief.

I've been craving watermelon ever since I had it last time, but unfortunately, it's only available near Xiao Ran's place; nowhere else can you find it.

Even if you have a lot of money, there's no way to buy watermelons.

Watermelons and some lychees were placed on the table.

Seeing the small water droplets on the watermelon's rind, Li Shimin had a guess in mind. He reached out and touched it, "It's still chilled!"

"Ananda, take it down and cut it. I and all my ministers will share this melon!" Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and the others were also delighted. Who could refuse an ice-cold watermelon in the middle of summer?

Considering we were going to eat watermelon, we didn't discuss state affairs for the time being.

The group started chatting.

Soon the watermelons arrived, and Li Shimin instructed the eunuchs to distribute them to everyone.

"Mmm, it's so sweet!" Li Shimin took a bite and praised it highly.

An official suddenly said, “Your Majesty, the heat has been unbearable lately. I have heard that His Majesty the Retired Emperor resides in the Da’an Palace. Although he is protected by the palace, he is still not immune to the scorching summer sun.”

"Our Great Tang Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Your Majesty is the most honored ruler and the closest blood relative of the retired Emperor. If we could send you some summer refreshments, it would not only show Your Majesty's deep filial piety, but also demonstrate the style of our Great Tang Dynasty in governing the country with filial piety, so that all the subjects of the world could feel Your Majesty's benevolence."

Li Shimin nodded, "What you said is correct. However, these watermelons were sent by the Empress. I have some here, and naturally the Emperor Emeritus cannot be left out."

Li Shimin's meaning was clear: he didn't need to send anyone off; the Empress had made the arrangements.

Li Shimin believed that Empress Zhangsun would do this.
