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

Chapter 134 You're siblings!

Knowing the two little princesses as Xiao Ran does, he would definitely like egg tarts.

The little princess generally likes these kinds of sweets.

"Mmm, mmm~" The little princess continued eating her noodles.

Xiao Ruoying loved watching her two little princesses eat; they ate with such relish.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were more reserved and elegant, while the two younger princesses were more interesting in comparison.

The little princess ate everything cleanly, not wasting a single piece, and even drank the soup.

The same goes for Princess Chengyang.

"Second Sister Sizi, have you eaten enough?" Seeing the two little princesses like this, Xiao Ran was worried that they hadn't eaten enough.

The little princess rubbed her round little tummy, "I'm seven-tenths full!"

"I'm full too!"

The little princess looked at Xiao Ruoying, "Pretty sister~ Can I eat this?"

“Yes.” Xiao Ruoying picked up the egg tart and handed it to the little princess.

"Sizi, didn't you eat your fill?" Princess Yuzhang teased.

"Hehe~ Seven o'clock is still seven o'clock~" The little princess took the egg tart, which was still warm.

The little princess took a small bite, "It's crunchy!"

"Wow~ It's so sweet and delicious~" The little princess got excited as soon as she tasted it.

The egg tarts also won the little princess's approval.

"It's so delicious!" Princess Chengyang exclaimed.

"Hmmmm~"

"Also, you can have some more if you like." Xiao Ruoying originally bought it for herself and Xiao Ran.

Now that she sees the two little princesses are happy, Xiao Ruoying has simply forgotten about Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ruoying bought quite a lot, and Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also ate one.

This kind of dessert is generally liked by little girls of Princess Yuzhang's age, like Li Lizhi.

According to the original plan, we had to go back after breakfast.

But Xiao Ruoying didn't have class today. She usually sleeps in late, but today she came to find Xiao Ran, which was unusual for her.

So they simply let Xiao Ruoying take care of the two little princesses.

Fearing that Empress Zhangsun might overthink things, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi took some time to go back halfway through.

He told Empress Zhangsun about the situation before returning to the supermarket.

Princess Yuzhang's mind was more on the supermarket, either looking at the shelf categories or watching Xu Wenya and Liu Ziyue at the cashier.

Xiao Ran could sense that Princess Yuzhang had come to learn, and she was learning very diligently.

Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying watched the two little princesses playing on the rocking horse. Li Lizhi thought about her own marriage and the ages of Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying.

At that age, one would have been married and had children long ago in the Tang Dynasty, but neither Xiao Ran nor Xiao Ruoying had.

This made Li Lizhi very envious.

As the two chatted, Li Lizhi suddenly asked, "Ruoying, when are you getting married?"

One second they were talking about clothes, the next they were asking about marriage. Xiao Ruoying was taken aback. "Changle, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

"I'm only twenty-one, it's still early, I'll play around for a couple more years before talking about it."

"How old are you planning to get married?" Li Lizhi was still shocked. Although she knew that the two eras were different, she did not expect the difference to be so great.

"Let's talk about it after I turn thirty!"

"Thirty?" Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise.

At her age, Li Lizhi never even dared to dream of getting married.

“Yes! A lot of people are like that now!” Xiao Ruoying turned around and pointed to Xiao Ran not far away. “My brother is probably over thirty too. There aren’t many people getting married early these days; more and more are getting married late.”

Li Lizhi couldn't understand.

Seeing that the two little princesses were out of coins, Xiao Ruoying quickly sent them some. Li Lizhi walked over to Xiao Ran's side.

"Changle, you seem preoccupied," Xiao Ran said with a smile. "You've been a little absent-minded this morning, is something the matter?"

"Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll definitely help if I can."

Li Lizhi shook her head. "It's nothing."

Xiao Ran couldn't interfere with the marriage alliance between the royal family and the Changsun family!
Even if Xiao Ran can cause trouble, Li Lizhi cannot let Xiao Ran do whatever he wants.

Because of the problems with the marriage, it's not only the royal family that's lost face, but also the Changsun family that's embarrassed.

This is something Li Lizhi is unwilling to accept.

Even if Li Lizhi didn't want to marry now, she couldn't say anything, not wanting to put Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun in a difficult position.

This matter is already common knowledge, and there's no way to cancel it now.

Li Shimin had been preparing the dowry for several years in advance, and the Changsun family was also preparing to marry Li Lizhi.

It's impossible to cancel it now; Li Lizhi can't think of a reason anyway.

Li Lizhi is not a reckless person; she needs to consider her parents' feelings and the dignity of the royal family.

This is a dead end; even if they don't want to, they have to hold the wedding as scheduled.

"Chang Le, you don't look alright." Xiao Ran could tell that Li Lizhi was clearly preoccupied.

"From now on, the supermarket's affairs should be handled by Sixth Sister and Young Master. When Second Sister Si grows up, it will be their responsibility."

Xiao Ran became increasingly confused. "Chang Le, what do you mean by this?"

"You don't want to deal with it anymore?" Xiao Ran was very puzzled.

"It's not that I don't want to, but my wedding is coming soon, and I won't be able to get involved in things here anymore since I won't be in the Lizheng Hall," Li Lizhi said helplessly.

Xiao Ran then realized that he had almost forgotten that Li Lizhi was of marriageable age and was getting married this year.

Previously, Xiao Ran's focus was on the little princess, and he overlooked this matter when he was researching information.

"Changsun Chong, right!" Xiao Ran remembered.

Li Lizhi nodded slightly, "You two are so lucky to get married so late."

Thinking of all this, Li Lizhi felt a deep sense of envy.

"Times have changed, Chang Le, don't you want to get married?" Xiao Ran could tell that Li Lizhi was very conflicted and torn.

"Marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, it's always been this way. My parents and uncle are all very satisfied with this marriage, what else can I say?" Li Lizhi said helplessly, "My cousin is also a good person."

"Uncle? Cousin?" Xiao Ran slapped his forehead. "That's right!"

Xiao Ran then remembered that Empress Zhangsun was Zhangsun Wuji's younger sister.

"Young master, what's the problem? Is there anything wrong with it?" Li Lizhi asked, puzzled.

"Chang Le, you don't want to get married, do you?"

"I don't want to get married too early. I still have many things to do." Li Lizhi suddenly realized something. "Young master, do you have a solution?"

Xiao Ran's expression clearly indicated that he had thought of something.

“There is indeed a way.” Xiao Ran nodded, confident that he could persuade Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

Both of them are reasonable people and treat their children very well.

Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) was famous for spoiling his children.

Of all the crown princes who rebelled and failed throughout history, Li Chengqian was probably the only one who wasn't directly killed.

“I don’t dislike my cousin, I just don’t want to get married too early, but I also don’t want to put my parents in a difficult position, and I don’t want to affect the royal family’s reputation.”

Li Lizhi had many concerns.

Xiao Ran could sense that this was a princess who was sensible and reasonable.

“You can cancel it directly, without postponing it. You cannot marry Changsun Chong.”

At that moment, Changsun Chong of the Changsun family sneezed violently, feeling as if he had lost something very important.

"Why is that?" Li Lizhi asked, her face full of suspicion.

"Because you're siblings!"
