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

Chapter 147 Watching Cartoons in the Tang Dynasty!

Disturbed by the little princess, Li Yuan stopped talking.

Li Lizhi was extremely depressed after the meal.

The little princess was very active and talked a lot with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan responded warmly to the little girl's actions, never neglecting the little princess.

Neither Li Shimin nor Li Yuan drank alcohol; instead, they drank fruit juice with the others.

Zhang Jieyu spoke very little, eating her meal quietly by herself.

Empress Zhangsun would occasionally serve food to Consort Zhang, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

There are two little princesses there.

There will basically be no awkward silences or embarrassing moments.

The little princess put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue, wiped her mouth, and said, "I'm full!"

The little princess rubbed her round little belly, very satisfied.

Seeing that everyone else had almost finished eating, Xiao Ran got up and started fiddling with the projector.

Xiao Ran came to the Lizheng Hall more and more often, and when he started tinkering, he really acted like he was part of the group.

"Lizhi, what are you doing, my dear nephew?" Li Shimin asked.

“Grandpa, the young master said this is a projector, for watching TV and movies,” Li Lizhi said. Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and others did not understand.

“Grandpa, it’s like a shadow puppet show, only this is much more impressive,” Princess Yuzhang explained from the side.

The dishes on the table were cleared away, and tea was served to the group.

Li Yuan showed no intention of leaving, wanting to see what kind of projector Xiao Ran had put together.

The two little princesses, watching over Xiao Ran, were even more curious.

"What's this, little princess?" The princess didn't know either.

"This is a projector. We'll be able to watch Sheep in a bit," Xiao Ran said as he fiddled with it.

"Really~" The little princess didn't expect to be able to watch it here.

"Well, really."

"That's wonderful!" Princess Chengyang exclaimed excitedly.

The two little princesses stared at Xiao Ran like curious children.

Fortunately, the two little girls were sensible and didn't bother Xiao Ran or cause any trouble; they just watched curiously.

Xiao Ran quickly prepared the things.

Considering the sound quality, and given that the Lizheng Hall is quite large, Xiao Ran prepared two small speakers.

With preparations nearly complete, Xiao Ran looked at Princess Yuzhang and said, "Sixth Sister, turn off the lights."

"Okay!" Princess Yuzhang quickly ran over to turn off the lights.

I saw the projection screen directly in front of Empress Zhangsun, the wife of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

As the lights in the Rikjeongden Hall went out, the projection screen became clearer and clearer.

Wow~ It's a sheep~

The little princess pointed at the screen and saw a cartoon.

Li Yuan squinted and stared intently.

They had no idea what this novel thing was, and they were all very interested in everything Xiao Ran had brought.

Xiao Ran clicked play and chose Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf again.

The reason is that the two little princesses like it.

Previously in Xiao Ran's living room, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also watched with great interest.

As the familiar music began to play, the two little princesses hummed along.

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a sheep~~"

Several palace maids, including Yu Shu Xiang Cao, were also staring intently at the screen. Li Shimin picked up his teacup but forgot to drink it. He had seen glass magic tricks from the Western Regions and revolving lanterns in folk performances, but he had never imagined that light and shadow could so clearly conjure up living things.

Those fluffy sheep can jump and talk, and even the down on their curled horns is clearly visible.

When the theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" started playing, Li Shimin subconsciously looked at Empress Zhangsun, only to find that she also had a childlike curiosity in her eyes.

“This is even more lifelike than the ‘Birds and Beasts’ painting in the Hongwen Pavilion.” Li Shimin suddenly chuckled, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table, as if pondering the ingenuity behind the light and shadow.

As the emperor who ushered in the Zhenguan era of prosperity, his first thought was "education." If the stories in "Zhenguan Zhengyao" could be made into such vivid light and shadow, even illiterate people would remember the emperor's virtues.

But soon, he was pulled back to reality by the little princess’s sweet, childlike singing, and saw Princess Chengyang leaning on the table, pointing at the screen and shouting, “Sheep is so smart.”

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also wanted to visit Xiao Ran.

I want to see what it will be like more than a thousand years from now.

Li Yuan stared at the bouncy sheep on the screen, his cloudy eyes gradually curving into crescents.

Since stepping down, he has rarely shown such a hearty smile.

“It’s a hundred times better than the shadow puppet shows we saw in Taiyuan back then.” He turned to Li Shimin and said, his voice filled with long-lost joy.

"Yes!" Li Shimin's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to a long time ago.

The combination of graphics and sound was considered perfect by Li Shimin and others.

"Sizi, Second Sister, we can't get too close. Let's go to the back to look." Xiao Ran pulled the two little princesses away a bit.

The two little princesses were very obedient and sat down on the other side with Xiao Ran.

As the anime officially began playing, the Rissei-den Palace was quiet, with everyone staring intently at the screen.

The only music playing in the hall was from the animated films, occasionally punctuated by the little princesses' exclamations of wonder.

Li Shimin suddenly noticed that his father's white hair looked exceptionally soft in the light and shadow, his wife's eyes were full of maternal tenderness, and even the usually silent Zhang Jieyu had a faint smile on her lips.

This small projector, like a beam of light, pierced through the majesty and suspicion of the imperial family, making the Lizheng Hall a true place for the family to enjoy time together.

Li Shimin liked this atmosphere.

Li Shimin had many feelings. Whether it was an emperor who created a prosperous era or a retired emperor who lived in seclusion in the deep palace, they were ultimately just ordinary spectators in the world, moved by a simple joy.

"Very good, very good, this is interesting indeed." Li Yuan praised it highly, feeling that he had broadened his horizons.

Many people are fascinated by black and white shadow puppetry, so this colorful, smoother version is naturally even more beautiful.

"Though it is a child's game, it reveals the ingenuity of nature and the joy of people's lives. It is truly rare!" Li Shimin said sincerely.

The episode was watched quickly, but the two little princesses weren't in a hurry because they already knew a lot about it.

Xiao Ran didn't disturb them, letting everyone else see.

The two little princesses, who usually get sleepy after meals, weren't sleepy today and were staring intently at the screen.

But feeling that it was about time, Xiao Ran pressed pause. "Alright, I'm not watching anymore, Second Sister Sizi."

"It's getting late, you should get some rest," Li Lizhi said.

Empress Zhangsun now understands what the little princess is talking about all the time.

Li Yuan also had to go back, so he pulled Xiao Ran aside and told her to come to Da'an Palace to see him when she had time.

After seeing Li Yuan off, the little princess pulled Xiao Ran along, saying, "Little lads, let's go home!"

Li Lizhi smiled and asked, "Sizi, where are you going?"

"Fat duck~"

“Your home is here!” Li Lizhi said, squatting down.

"Big sister is so annoying~" The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran's arm, wanting to go back with him.

“I have to come tomorrow too. I’ll take Sizi Ermei back with me!” Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

"Alright, alright," Li Shimin said without objection. "My dear nephew! Could you perhaps look at some others?"

Li Shimin felt that the animated films were still a bit childish.

“There are many options to watch; the previous cartoons were suitable for children,” Xiao Ran explained.
