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

Chapter 199 Li Shimin observes the nightlife!
It had been arranged long ago that Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun would arrive that afternoon.

Let's grab a meal together.

The food at Shangshiju is not bad now, but it's more lively here, so I always feel it tastes better.

The little princess had just brought Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun back when she saw the little princess Samoyed and ran over to them.

"Woof woof woof!" The Samoyed nuzzled affectionately against the little princess.

"Yes, it's a dog! It's quite white and a bit chubby." Li Shimin smiled.

White fur and plumpness are the most striking features of Samoyed puppies.

"Hey duck~" The little princess squatted down and patted it, "You're so well-behaved~"

"Good, good, good," Li Shimin nodded, clearly pleased with both little princesses.

As long as the little princess is happy.

Li Shimin and Li Yuan chatted casually, and as Li Yuan's mental state improved, the relationship between father and son seemed to gradually ease.

Empress Zhangsun sat down next to Consort Zhang, and the two began to chat.

Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu have both changed into modern clothes and are looking more and more like modern people.

The courtyard gate opened, and Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying entered the villa, chatting and laughing.

Xiao Ran smiled, and things got even more lively.

Princess Yuzhang had previously asked Xiao Ran if Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and Consort Zhang of Li Yuan needed to avoid Xiao Ruoying, as they would definitely have to interact with her in the future.

Just treat it with a normal attitude.

Xiao Ran watched as Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang chatted and laughed. Princess Yuzhang now seemed completely different from when they first met.

They adapted very quickly.

Li Lizhi walked out of the villa, "Ruoying, Sixth Sister!"

"Changle!"

"Sister!"

"Yes, dinner's ready," Li Lizhi said with a smile.

"You've come back just in time." Princess Yuzhang pulled Xiao Ruoying along and quickly entered the villa.

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Xiao Ruoying was a little confused.

There were only a few palace maids before, but now there is a whole group.

Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun, did not recognize each other on the sofa.

"So many people?" Xiao Ruoying was a little unaccustomed to it.

If it were just Li Lizhi and her sisters, Xiao Ruoying wouldn't feel embarrassed.

But it's different when parents are around.

"These are my grandfather and great-grandfather," Princess Yuzhang introduced briefly.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoying became even more reserved.

"Hello Grandpa, hello Uncle and Auntie," Xiao Ruoying quickly greeted them.

Li Shimin and the others knew that this was Xiao Ran's younger sister, and responded with a smile.

No airs

Fortunately, the presence of the two little princesses eased the tension considerably.

"This dog is so cute!" Princess Yuzhang squatted down and petted it.

“This is a Samoyed!” Xiao Ruoying recognized it immediately.

"Mmm-hmm~ It's so cute~" the little princess said.

"Huh?" Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying were not quite sure.

"The name Si Zi gave him is Rou Rou," Li Lizhi explained from the side.

"Hmm, she is indeed quite fleshy." Princess Yuzhang picked her up. "She's a bit heavy."

Because of the Samoyed, the little princess is not as clingy to Xiao Ran as before, which makes Li Lizhi quite satisfied.

During the meal, Xiao Ruoying sat next to Princess Yuzhang.

I couldn't help but look at Empress Zhangsun; I found her stunning.

Xiao Ruoying never expected that this whole family liked wearing Hanfu.

Both Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were.

Since several princesses had worn it before, seeing Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun wearing it now seems normal. It doesn't feel out of place.

If it weren't for the princesses wearing them, it would seem a bit unusual for Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun to wear Hanfu at their age.

Xiao Ruoying now believes this is a tradition of Li Lizhi's family.

Xiao Ran was familiar with Li Yuan and Li Shimin and didn't see any problem, but Xiao Ruoying remained very reserved.

After finishing the meal, I made an excuse and left.

In the past, Xiao Ruoying would definitely have stayed overnight.

Empress Zhangsun was present when Li Shimin was present, and Xiao Ruoying felt embarrassed.

"Xiao Ran! How old is your sister?"

"I'm twenty!"

"Hmm? Twenty? She seems about the same age as Lizhi and Liu Niang!" Li Shimin felt that Xiao Ruoying did not look like a twenty-year-old.

In the Tang Dynasty, twenty was considered an adult, and Xiao Ruoying didn't look like one at all.

At this moment, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun finally understood how vast the gap was between the two eras.

After dinner, as night fell, I decided to go for a walk.

"Xiao Ran! Should I change my clothes? Is it alright to go out like this?" Li Shimin looked at the clothes he was wearing.

"It's alright, this will work too. Your Majesty, you can change it if you wish."

"Then there's no need to trouble yourself, let's leave it at that!" Li Shimin didn't want to make any more trouble.

Xiao Ran found a rope and tied the Samoyed up.

"Brother, Rou Rou is so small, should we tie her up?" Princess Yuzhang asked.

"Take your dog on a leash from a young age. It's easy for accidents to happen if you don't." Xiao Ran handed the leash to the little princess. "Sizi, hold on!"

"Hehe~ Mmm-hmm~" The little princess quickly took it.

"Let's go!" Xiao Ran called out.

"Okay, let's go!" Li Yuan walked out of the villa gate with a smile.

Consort Zhang supported Li Yuan, while Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also supported each other.

The Samoyed was excited and ran forward as fast as it could.

It sniffed around, as if searching for something.

He grabbed the little princess and ran along.

"Slow down, you idiot!" the little princess cried out.

The dog seemed to understand and slowed down.

Li Shimin looked at the streetlights. "Xiao Ran, these lights are everywhere!"

Li Shimin felt that having so many roads was a bit extravagant.

"They're definitely available near the city, near villas and plazas, and streetlights are a must."

Li Shimin had an idea that Chang'an City could be like that in the future.

As you get closer to the square, the number of people increases.

"This feels great, so relaxing!" Li Shimin said sincerely, a scene that could not be seen in the Tang Dynasty.

Empress Zhangsun nodded, now understanding why Li Yuan liked to stay here.

The most dazzling ethnic style is no longer on the square; it's been replaced by Little Apple.

"It's starting!" Li Yuan smiled.

"So this is square dancing!" Li Shimin smiled.

The square in the twilight was bathed in a warm golden light by the streetlights, and the rhythm of "Little Apple" was as brisk as the bells on the eaves.

Li Shimin looked at the old man twisting his waist and waving his arms in the crowd, and the children jumping and clapping their hands, and unconsciously nodded along with the rhythm.

Empress Zhangsun's gaze lingered on the middle-aged woman leading the dance.

She wore a loose cotton T-shirt, and although her movements weren't exactly graceful, they possessed a natural ease and joy. Her hair rose and fell with each step, more lively than the elaborately styled high buns of court dancers.

Li Shimin watched as the little princess tugged at the Samoyed, jumping and hopping along the edge of the crowd. The dog's tail brushed against the trouser leg of an old man practicing Tai Chi, eliciting a burst of good-natured laughter and scolding.

This lively, bustling atmosphere, compared to the resounding bells and drums at the Jiucheng Palace banquet, possessed a more vibrant vitality.

While the Qin King's Battle Song in the imperial court was awe-inspiring, it always carried the solemnity of a dance between the emperor and his subjects. But the square dancing in front of us, which even toddlers can step into, seems to have truly turned the phrase "sharing joy with the people" into life itself.
