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

Chapter 178: A House in Chang'an City as a Gift!

"Grandpa, Sixth Sister said that Mother's treatment is going very well and she will be back in a few days." Li Lizhi also told Li Shimin this good news.

Li Shimin was genuinely pleased. "Completely healed?"

"Mother, this has been going on for a long time, and it will take some time to fully recover. It will be a gradual process, involving a period of treatment followed by a period of medication and recuperation."

“Your Majesty, we cannot rush this,” Xiao Ran also said.

“Yes, yes, we can’t rush it, we really can’t rush it.” Li Shimin looked at Zhang Anan beside him, and Zhang Anan handed a box to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran was a little confused. "What is this?"

"I have troubled you a lot this time, and you have been of great help. This is a house in Chang'an City, which is a small token of my appreciation."

Xiao Ran opened the box and saw that it contained a land deed.

Xiao Ran looked at it carefully and found that he couldn't understand the land deed.

"Young master, let me see." Li Lizhi was curious about what kind of house her grandfather had given her.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran quickly handed it to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi said with a smile, "A five-courtyard, three-span house in Yongxingfang is one of the better locations in Chang'an."

During the Zhenguan era, the layout of Chang'an City's wards and markets was as regular as a chessboard, and Yongxing Ward, located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, was considered the pinnacle of land prices in Chang'an.

Located north of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, east of Xingqing Palace, and south of Qujiang Pool, this place was not only a gathering place for high-ranking officials and nobles, but also a place where political power and cultural elegance converged.

However, the Daming Palace, which was planned in the seventh year of the Zhenguan era, has not yet been built.

According to the "Tang Liudian", Yongxingfang was mostly occupied by "the residences of nobles of the third rank and above", and the land prices there were so high that ordinary officials could not afford them.

Fang Xuanling's residence was located in this neighborhood, and its "five courtyards and three spans" layout, namely the main courtyard, east and west spans, and rear building, was the standard configuration for a first-rank official.

Yongxingfang was located next to the imperial city and only one mile away from Taiji Palace, making it extremely convenient for officials to attend court and report on matters.

The convenience of "walking to court" made this neighborhood the first choice for high-ranking officials such as prime ministers and ministers.

The area housed institutions such as the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and the Court of State Ceremonies, creating a rich atmosphere of ritual and music culture.

If Li Lizhi hadn't told him, Xiao Ran really wouldn't have known any of this.

Xiao Ran roughly understood that the fifth entry was indeed quite significant.

Li Shimin was an emperor, so naturally he couldn't be stingy. Saving Empress Zhangsun's life was very important to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I won't stand on ceremony." Who could refuse a house in Chang'an?

"Compared to your achievements, these are nothing."

If given the chance, Xiao Ran would like to visit this house.

It's not impossible that they could settle down in the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Not only is the land title valuable, but this little box also looks quite valuable.

The boxes given to us before didn't look simple; after all, they were from the royal palace, so they couldn't be too bad.

Empress Zhangsun's condition improved, and Li Shimin was in a great mood. He asked Zhang Anan to make three buckets of braised beef noodles.

Xiao Ran was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, haven't you had enough to eat yet?"

"This is so good, I can never get enough of it."

"Grandpa~ I want to eat too~" The little princess may not be interested in other things from the Tang Dynasty, but she has to try instant noodles.

"Alright, alright, even Second Sister Sizi has some."

The leftovers that the two little princesses couldn't finish were given to Li Shimin.

The princesses all love instant noodles.

After the two little princesses finished eating, the goods were almost all moved.

Xiangcao walked to the front hall, gave a slight bow, and said, "Your Highness, no more goods have arrived."

“Okay, I understand.” Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran.

"We're going back too."

The two little princesses quickly stood up, "Little darlings, let's go home!"

“Grandpa, we’ll go over there first. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear anything from Mom,” Li Lizhi said.

"Alright, go ahead!" Without needing to say anything, Xiangcao and Hongxiu arranged for the things they had moved to be sent out of the palace and placed in the supermarket.

When Xiao Ran and the others arrived at the side hall, the conveyor belt had already stopped; it must have been pressed by Yu Shu on the other side.

Xiao Ran and the little princess escorted several palace maids back to the Tang Dynasty.

Considering Li Lizhi's concern, Xiao Ran called Xu Wenya and told them to lock the door, as Xiao Ran wouldn't be going home that night.

"Young master, aren't you going back?" Li Lizhi didn't quite understand. Where were they going then?

"Okay, let's go to the hospital tonight to keep Auntie and Sixth Sister company! The room has two bedrooms and a living room; it should be able to accommodate them."

Princess Yuzhang would definitely not stay in another room; she would definitely stay with Empress Zhangsun.

The other room can be used by Li Lizhi and the two little princesses, and Xiao Ran can just make do in the living room.

"Okay!" Li Lizhi was very happy to hear Xiao Ran say that.

Although she didn't particularly like the feeling of being in a hospital, Li Lizhi was still quite willing because Empress Zhangsun was there.

As for the two little princesses, they want to follow Xiao Ran wherever he goes, and it would be even better if Empress Zhangsun were also there.

Li Lizhi picked up her phone and dialed Princess Yuzhang's number, "Sixth Sister!"

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"Wait a moment, young master, we'll come over too."

Empress Zhangsun, lying on her sickbed, asked, "Sixth Lady, what does Lizhi want to say?"

Princess Yuzhang said with a smile, "My elder sister and brother have come to keep us company."

"Can it be done?"

Princess Yuzhang pointed and said, "Mother, there are rooms here that we can stay in."

Princess Yuzhang, a princess of the Tang Dynasty, didn't understand many things, and Xiao Ran's presence made her feel safer.

With Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi arriving, it was obvious that the two little princesses would also be there.

Not long after, Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi arrived at the ward.

Empress Zhangsun and Princess Yuzhang could talk to each other, but there were no two little princesses to keep the atmosphere lively.

The atmosphere is completely different when the two little girls are around.

Xiao Ran booked dinner at a nearby hotel and bought a few books for Empress Zhangsun to pass the time.

There are many books available now, but Xiao Ran is unsure what Empress Zhangsun likes to read.

After much thought, it seems that the most suitable work is a classic like Dream of the Red Chamber.

Xiao Ran couldn't get into it; Empress Zhangsun, with her refined cultural background, should have enjoyed this kind of book.

The errand runner quickly delivered the items to the ward.

"What's this, Little Nang-jun?"

Seeing Xiao Ran tear open the packaging bag, the little princess quickly came over.

“Sizi, this isn’t for eating.” Xiao Ran took out a book.

Seeing that it was a book, the little princess had no further interest.

"Brother, are you buying books?" Princess Yuzhang smiled.

Xiao Ran walked to Empress Zhangsun's side and said, "This is a very famous book. Auntie might like it and can use it to pass the time when she's bored."

"Yes, good!" Empress Zhangsun quickly accepted it.

There was a television in the ward, but sometimes she wanted some peace and quiet, as Empress Zhangsun had a habit of reading.

It's not bad to look at this era.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang quickly came over to take a look.

"Dream of the Red Chamber!" Princess Yuzhang took out her phone after finishing reading it. "Brother, I remember you can read it on your phone too, right?"

"Yes, there are many versions, and even more options are available on mobile phones."

Li Lizhi quickly took out her phone and started searching; the two princesses also knew how to search.
