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

Chapter 142: Brothers and sisters respect each other?

Xiao Ran left the two little princesses at home to watch cartoons and escorted Li Lizhi back home.

Holding Li Lizhi's arm, neither of them felt quite comfortable at first, and Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed.

After doing it so many times, you gradually get used to it.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness"

Xiao Ran took the initiative to greet him.

"Hmm, is Sizi alright?" Li Shimin asked about the little princess's condition.

"It's alright now, I'm watching cartoons with my second sister!" Xiao Ran also noticed the go-karts on the other side and went over to take a look.

A superficial wound is just an unsightly imperfection, but it doesn't actually affect the opening.

"Nephew, is this troublesome?" Li Shimin pointed to the go-kart.

"It's alright, it won't be a big deal if it takes a little time to send it for repairs." Since the two little princesses were at home, Xiao Ran went back early because he was worried about them.

Li Lizhi presented the price of the goods to Empress Zhangsun, saying, "Mother, this is the cost of the goods given by the young master. Please take a look and see what price would be appropriate."

Empress Zhangsun handed it to Li Shimin after reading it.

"It's really not expensive!" Li Shimin was also surprised when he saw the price.

"Your Majesty, how about we follow this ratio?" Empress Zhangsun pointed, "For example, if this young gentleman sells for 5 coins over there, we'll sell him for 500 coins here."

"I think it's acceptable." The supermarket is full of luxury goods, targeting aristocratic families and wealthy people.

These things were either monopolized, or they didn't exist in the Tang Dynasty.

Its appearance in the Tang Dynasty is a game-changer, so a higher price is not unreasonable.

And so Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun quickly settled on a price.

Night fell, and it was time to prepare dinner.

The two little princesses wanted to cook with Xiao Ran, so Xiao Ran bought them a very small and cute apron.

The two little princesses enjoy being involved, and Xiao Ran also wants to cook with them.

"Young master, you're done washing!" Princess Chengyang called out.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran emptied the water from the basin; the two little princesses were too small to reach the pool.

"Second sister, wipe your hands." Xiao Ran handed a towel to the little princess of Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang turned around and first wiped the water stains off the little princess's hands.

Xiao Ran smiled and thought to himself: This is wonderful!
Xiao Ran, who usually just makes do with whatever he has, definitely needs to prepare as many dishes as possible when he has two little princesses around.

Soon, several dishes were placed on the living room table. The little princess of Chengyang took a bowl and chopsticks.

The group was getting ready to eat.

"Seven Rice~" The little princess obediently sat down next to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran first served rice to the two little princesses, and the two little girls were extremely hungry.

"Eat!" Xiao Ran served food to the two little princesses.

Actually, the two little princesses are capable of serving themselves food, but they've gotten used to Xiao Ran serving them, and it seems to have become a habit.

Whatever Xiao Ran puts on her plate, the two little girls basically eat it all.

After finishing their meal, seeing Xiao Ran clearing away the dishes, the two little princesses quickly followed suit.

What should have taken half an hour to clean up turned into a full hour.

"Alright, it's getting late. Second Sister Sizi, wash up and go to bed!"

"Hmmmm~"

The two little princesses have gotten used to Xiao Ran's lifestyle and like it more and more.

They don't really want to go back to the Tang Dynasty anymore.

After washing up, I ran back to my bedroom in my slippers.

When Xiao Ran returned, the two little princesses had changed into the pajamas he had prepared beforehand.

They even folded up their old dresses and placed them on the bedside table. Each of them then lay down, hugging a giant cat.

Xiao Ran went in a little over ten minutes later, and the two little princesses had already fallen asleep.

It's amazing how good kids are; they fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow!

In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi were still discussing matters related to the supermarket.

Princess Yuzhang, accompanied by several palace maids, was in a side hall on the other side, teaching the maids how to work in a supermarket.

The two little princesses have not yet returned home.

With Xiao Ran and others having their warehouses and supplies ready, the Tang Dynasty side was also nearly ready to resume operations.

The supermarket's opening is getting closer.

Li Shimin, who had just finished his work in the Taiji Hall, picked up his teacup, checked the time, and said, "Anan, go make some instant noodles!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A young eunuch rushed up to Li Shimin and knelt down. "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the matter that you're in such a panic?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Yue are fighting in front of the East Palace!" the little eunuch exclaimed excitedly. "And there's blood."

Li Shimin was startled, "What exactly happened?"

"I don't know!"

"Quickly summon the imperial physician. Ananda, have the Crown Prince and Qingque come to the Taiji Palace."

"Your Majesty, shall we come to the Taiji Hall?" Zhang Anan repeated.

This reminded the still-angry Li Shimin, "Go to the Lizheng Hall!"

In the Taiji Hall, it's a matter of state, but in the Lizheng Hall, it can be handled like a family matter, minimizing the impact of major issues and resolving minor ones as much as possible.

Li Shimin also left the Taiji Hall and prepared to wait at the Lizheng Hall.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi were shocked to hear Li Shimin say that Li Chengqian and Li Tai had fought.

Previously, the two brothers appeared to be on good terms, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were like brothers.

If brothers in an ordinary family have a conflict, arguing and fighting is not a big deal, but this is the royal family, so it's different.

Soon Li Chengqian and Li Tai arrived at the Lizheng Hall. Li Chengqian had bruises on his face, and Li Tai's face was covered in bruises and he was also bleeding from his nose.

Li Shimin was a little angry, but he didn't lose his temper. He ordered the imperial physicians to examine Li Chengqian and Li Tai's injuries first.

Knowing it was just a superficial injury and nothing serious, he told everyone else to leave.
"What exactly happened? What kind of behavior is this!" Li Shimin raised his voice.

“Grandpa, my brother started the fight first,” Li Tai said first.

"When I passed by the East Palace, my elder brother said I was impolite. I tried to explain myself, but he became agitated and spoke harshly. I retorted a few words in response."

Li Chengqian remained remarkably calm, showing no surprise whatsoever at Li Tai's words.

While some of what Li Tai said was true, he mostly downplayed the issue, shifting all the blame onto Li Chengqian to appear innocent and a victim.

"Chengqian, give me an explanation!"

“It was indeed I who struck first!” Li Chengqian said slowly.

Empress Zhangsun frowned; the previous Li Chengqian would never have done such a thing.

Li Chengqian had a lot of teachers since he was a child, and Empress Zhangsun also taught him a lot by word and deed, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

If Li Shimin hadn't seen the two of them like this, he wouldn't have believed that the two brothers could fight.

Fortunately, the people from the Eastern Palace and the Prince of Yue's residence did not dare to make a move; at most, they would try to break up the fight and take the beating for their masters.

"To put it simply, I am Qingque's elder brother; to put it more broadly, I am the crown prince, and Qingque is his subject. Has Qingque ever regarded me as his elder brother or the crown prince?"

"Today at the East Palace corner gate, seeing that I did not perform the Crown Prince's ceremony, they laughed and said, 'Brother, why are you standing here? Are you waiting for the Father's reward?'"

Li Chengqian suddenly looked at Li Shimin, his Adam's apple bobbing heavily. "Does Father know that those people behind him privately call him 'Little Sage'?"
