Chapter 175 The Lonely Li Shimin!

Children are so easy to coax; one moment they're crying their hearts out, and the next they're happy again.

I didn't rush to drive because there was no parking available in front of the hospital; it was too congested. So I decided to buy cotton candy first.

When they reached the cotton candy stall, the two little princesses got down on their own.

"I want cotton candy!" the little princess shouted, pointing.

The uncle selling cotton candy smiled and asked, "How many do you want?"

"Two, I guess!" Li Lizhi said.

The older man handed over two, and Xiao Ran took out his phone to scan the QR code. "Three, please!"

Xiao Ran picked one up and gave it to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi thought it was food for children, and since she was no longer a child, she didn't want it.

Xiao Ran handed it over, and Li Lizhi smiled and took it from Xiao Ran's hand.

"Hehe~" The little cotton candy princess was laughing very happily.

The painful experience of getting the injection is long forgotten.

Xiao Ran took out a toothpick and said, "Sizi, Second Sister, eat it like this."

The little princess didn't know how to eat, so she gently stuck out her little tongue to lick it.

Seeing Xiao Ran using a toothpick, the little princess also imitated him and started eating with a toothpick.

"Sizi, is it delicious?" Xiao Ran picked up the little princess.

"Sweet~ So delicious~" The little princess picked up a piece with a toothpick, "Little nut is so delicious~"

Xiao Ran did not refuse; this was the little princess's wish.

Princess Chengyang also ate very happily. In Li Lizhi's arms, she naturally did not forget her elder sister, Li Lizhi.

The group returned to the car.

Li Lizhi was worried about the two little princesses sitting in the back row, so she simply followed them to the back row as well.

Seeing that there was no one in the passenger seat, the little princess quickly said, "I want to be in the front!"

"Sizi, children can't be in front," Xiao Ran reminded the little princess.

"Hmmmm~"

Xiao Ran started the car, then remembered, "Changle, you didn't call!"

They forgot about Li Lizhi while getting vaccinated.

Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Let's fight together with Sixth Sister from now on!"

Now, Xiao Ran is taking Li Lizhi, but he doesn't feel comfortable leaving the two little princesses in the car. Taking the two little princesses along is also not an option, as the two little girls must be very scared right now.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

Xiao Ran started the car and drove out of the hospital.

"Young master, is lunch convenient for your mother and sixth sister?" Li Lizhi suddenly thought of this.

"It's quite convenient to eat in the hospital, Chang Le, don't worry. If you don't like it here, ordering takeout is quick too."

"Okay!" Li Lizhi nodded.

Soon the group returned to the supermarket, and Xiao Ran moved the mirror back into the bedroom.

It's a bit of a hassle, the mirror is a bit big.

"Chang Le, Si Zi, Fan Yin." Xu Wenya greeted the three sisters with a smile.

"Beautiful sister~ Niqi duck~" The little princess did not forget Xu Wenya's usual feeding and took the initiative to share the cotton candy with Xu Wenya.

Liu Ziyue's is naturally included as well.

Back in the living room, Li Lizhi said, "Young master, I'll go back for a bit and talk to Grandpa."

"Alright!" Xiao Ran looked at the little princess, "Sizi, let's go see Grandpa."

"Hmmmm~"

The four entered the mirror and returned to the Rijō-den (Hall of State Affairs).

Li Zhengdian

When the last wisp of steam rose from the celadon teacup on the table, Li Shimin realized that the tea had gone cold. If Empress Zhangsun were here, she would have personally replaced it with freshly brewed hot tea, and her fingertips would still be warm from the stove when she handed the teacup to him.

The hall was as silent as an abyss, with only the ticking of the golden water clock on the table and the crooked ink marks left by the wolf-hair brush on the Xuan paper, revealing his unusual unease.

With Empress Zhangsun absent, Li Shimin felt somewhat lonely. He appeared distracted, and the Empress Zhangsun's absence from the Lizheng Hall made him feel uneasy.

He was worried about Empress Zhangsun's condition and wanted to know how she was doing.

Empress Zhangsun's absence from the Lizheng Hall made the palace feel soulless.

Empress Zhangsun's departure was only temporary, but it made Li Shimin extremely uncomfortable.

Li Shimin stared blankly at his teacup, unable to imagine how he would adapt without Empress Zhangsun.

"Grandpa~"

The little princess's voice pulled Li Shimin back to reality.

Li Shimin snapped out of his daze and looked to the other side, where the little princess was running towards him with cotton candy in her hand.

Behind them are Princess Chengyang, Xiao Ran, and Li Lizhi.

Li Shimin smiled and put down his teacup. "Sizi is back."

"Hmmmm~"

"Grandpa Niqi~" The little princess fed Li Shimin cotton candy.

Li Shimin didn't recognize cotton candy and found it strange.

However, Li Shimin did not refuse the little princess's offer of food.

"Mmm, it's so sweet!" This was something Li Shimin hadn't expected.

"Hey duck~ So sweet~ So good~"

"His Majesty!"

"Grandma!"

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi also called out.

“Nephew, Lizhi, please sit down and speak,” Li Shimin said, gesturing for her.

Princess Chengyang also fed Li Shimin cotton candy. Li Shimin smiled and said, "What is this? It tastes a lot like white sugar."

"Grandpa, this is cotton candy," said Princess Chengyang.

"Hmmmm~"

"Your Majesty, cotton candy is made from white sugar. It's essentially just white sugar, only it's made into this fluffy state," Xiao Ran explained.

Li Lizhi suddenly realized that she had previously thought it was like eating white sugar.

The two little princesses ate very quickly, so there wasn't much left, but Li Lizhi still had plenty.

"Nephew, how is the Empress's condition?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the situation is alright, but he needs to be treated in the hospital for a period of time before he can return to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin did not want to be separated from Empress Zhangsun, so he said, "If you can give me more money, can I come to the Tang Dynasty for treatment?"

“Your Majesty, some instruments cannot be moved to the Tang Dynasty. Even if we could buy them, they would be unusable there. My aunt’s illness can only be treated there. It’s not just about taking medicine; it requires a lot of instruments to assist her, so it’s impossible for her to return to the Tang Dynasty.”

Li Shimin nodded. "Approximately how long will it take? Will he recover completely?"

Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either. It depends on the subsequent treatment. The doctor will only know the specifics after the treatment, but it shouldn't take long."

Li Lizhi took out her phone. "Grandpa, take a look at this."

Li Lizhi showed the recorded video to Li Shimin. When Li Shimin saw Empress Zhangsun in the video, his eyes changed and became more tender.

The video wasn't long, but Li Shimin watched it several times.

"Why is the Empress wearing this dress? It's not nice, I don't like it." Li Shimin felt very awkward.

"Your Majesty, this is a hospital gown; all the patients in the hospital wear these."

Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Li Shimin stopped worrying about it.

After the little princess finished her cotton candy, she looked at Li Lizhi and saw that she still had a lot left.

The little princess thought for a moment, then looked at Li Li and asked, "Sister~ is this cotton candy sweet~"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Ran couldn't hold back when he heard the little princess ask.

Li Lizhi was also amused by her younger sister, "Cotton candy, it must be sweet!"

"I don't believe it~ Let me try it~" the little princess cleverly declared.
