Chapter 137 Going to the Tang Dynasty to Cook Noodles!
Empress Zhangsun had mixed feelings and felt quite uncomfortable hearing these things.

Li Lizhi was twenty-three, and the little princess Li Mingda was twelve. The two sisters passed away around the same time.

It's hard to imagine what Li Shimin must have felt after losing two of his beloved daughters in succession.

Empress Zhangsun was very pleased to hear that Li Shimin was personally raising the little princess.

No emperor before him could do this, and very few after Li Shimin.

It is indeed rare for an emperor who is extremely busy to take time to spend with his children, and Li Shimin did not neglect his duties because of this.

“Your Majesty, there was nothing we could do before, but things can be changed now. Don’t be too upset,” Xiao Ran advised. “Qi and wind-related illnesses can be treated now. Even if they can’t be cured, they can at least alleviate the symptoms to the greatest extent possible.”

Li Shimin wiped his eyes. "Yes, yes, that's true."

The thought of his little princess dying at the age of twelve filled Li Shimin with immense grief.

All I can see in my mind is the little princess's innocent smile, but she left us so young.

Empress Zhangsun also comforted Li Shimin, and only then did Li Shimin stop crying.

"My dear nephew! I will cancel Lizhi's marriage. You have done me a great favor, and this matter is very important to the Tang Dynasty."

Without the two little princesses and Princess Li Lizhi of Yuzhang, Xiao Ran felt a little awkward.

Li Shimin, in particular, kept wiping away tears.

Xiao Ran made an excuse and left.

Go to the other side to find Li Lizhi and the others.

"Young master, how is it?" Li Li asked.

"His Majesty said he will cancel it, so Chang Le, you don't need to worry about it."

"Thank you, young master!"

Xiao Ran returned to his home.

Li Lizhi and the others returned to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun's side and saw that the two of them had red eyes.

The little princess nestled between Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, asking, "Mother~ what's wrong?"

Empress Zhangsun took the little princess into her arms and held her tightly, saying, "Mother is alright!"

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun did not ask Li Lizhi, but seeing their expressions, Li Lizhi guessed what was going on.

"Mother~ I'm sleepy~" The little princess hugged her old mother's neck.

“Mother, let me take my second sister, Sizi, back to rest!” Li Lizhi said.

"Girl, take your second mother back! Si Zi is staying at Lizheng Palace tonight," Empress Zhangsun said.

"Okay!" Li Lizhi picked up the drowsy Princess Chengyang and left the Lizheng Hall with Princess Yuzhang.

The little princess quickly fell asleep in Empress Zhangsun's arms.

Li Shimin carefully took the little princess. Seeing the infant in his arms, Li Shimin was once again moved to tears, but he did not make a sound, not wanting to disturb the little princess.

"Your Majesty, please inform your brother about Lizhi and Chong'er's marriage as soon as possible. The wedding date is approaching, and this matter cannot be delayed," Empress Zhangsun said.

"Yes, I will arrange this." Empress Zhangsun believed what Xiao Ran said, but Xiao Ran's future identity could not be told to others.

"Your Majesty probably won't believe others, so tomorrow we'll send someone to investigate the situation of babies born from consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages in Chang'an. Once the results are in, others will have no choice but to believe it," Empress Zhangsun also suggested.

"The Empress is absolutely right!" Only data can provide persuasiveness.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should rest early."

"Okay!" Li Shimin stood up, holding the little princess.

"The young master has so much medicine over there, and he also said that these illnesses can be treated there. The child is still young, Your Majesty need not worry."

Although Empress Zhangsun was also upset, she still comforted Li Shimin.

The next day, Empress Zhangsun immediately arranged for people to investigate cases of consanguineous marriage. Once the data was available, the marriage between Li Lizhi and Zhangsun Chong could be cancelled.

Even the Tang Dynasty had to issue a decree explicitly prohibiting marriage between close relatives.

It might not concern the powerful clans, but Li Shimin had to concern himself with ordinary people.

Previously, the little princess would often be in the Lizheng Hall, while the Chengyang little princess and Li Lizhi would go to the princess's courtyard.

The little princess got used to it, because soon Princess Chengyang came over.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran arrived even earlier than Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.

"Sizi!" Xiao Ran came over and saw the little princess driving the Mercedes-Benz by herself.

“Hey~ It’s Xiao Ran, little princess!” The little princess quickly got out of the car and ran to Xiao Ran’s side.

Empress Zhangsun also walked over with a smile, "Good morning, young master!"

Xiao Ran arrived early, much earlier than anyone could have imagined.

"Good morning, Your Highness! We need to install the solar panels today, so come early to prepare breakfast for Second Sister Sizi."

Previously, the little princess liked plain noodles, so Xiao Ran brought over the prepared noodles and an electric cooker.

Electricity is now available in the Rijō-den (Imperial Hall), and electric cookers are quite convenient.

"Young master?" Li Lizhi also arrived with Princess Yuzhang and Princess Chengyang.

Good morning, Chang Le!

"Young master, what is this?" Li Lizhi pointed to what Xiao Ran was holding.

"Cook noodles for you, Second Sister Sizi."

Considering the inconvenience of using a cable, Xiao Ran brought a power strip.

With chopped green onions, cilantro, and seasonings all prepared, you can simply cook the noodles, pour in the broth, and enjoy!

"Mother, the young master's plain noodles are delicious," Princess Yuzhang said to Empress Zhangsun as she helped prepare the broth.

The two little princesses are getting impatient.

I've been eating Tang Dynasty-style soup dumplings all the time, and I'd like to try something different.

"This electric cooker is really good." Although Li Lizhi didn't cook in the Tang Dynasty, she still thought it was very fast.

“These appliances are amazing.” Princess Yuzhang looked at Xiao Ran. “Young master, may I watch TV?”

Princess Yuzhang wanted to bring the television back as well.

"Some things can be viewed, but some things can't. Some functions are not working." As he spoke, Xiao Ran started scooping up noodles.

The first bowl was ready very quickly.

The little princess, holding her own little bowl, was also eagerly waiting.

The little foodie is so hungry.

"Your Highness, please try it." Xiao Ran finally picked up the tongs and added some chopped green onions and cilantro.

"okay!"

Empress Zhangsun had never seen anything like this before; it certainly looked very appetizing.

"Sizi, let your mother serve you some." Empress Zhangsun picked up her chopsticks.

"Mother~ Ni Xianqi~" The little princess swallowed hard.

“Mother, these will be ready soon,” Li Lizhi said, pointing.

"Yes, it will be quick." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Is Mother very good?" the little princess asked.

"Yes, it's delicious." It looks simple, but the taste is indeed quite good.

"Hee hee~"

"Your Highness, let's add a few more solar panels here later, otherwise we won't have enough electricity with so many appliances," Xiao Ran said.

"Yes, young master, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

"We'll need two more for Chang Le, just for things like electric fans. By the way, are two enough for His Majesty?"

"We don't know either. We're sorry to trouble you, young man. Just do what you think is best," Li Lizhi said.

While Xiao Ran and the others were arranging these things, the two little princesses each had a small bowl and were happily slurping away.

"Little Nangjun~ another bowl~" The little princess drank all the soup.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran turned on the electric cooker.

Princess Yuzhang prepared the soup for the little princess, who responded, "Sister Niu~ Come here~"
