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

Chapter 278 Li Shimin's Mother-in-Law!
"In the dead of winter, it's perfect to have some beef or mutton hot pot!" Li Shimin suggested.

"There's a good hot pot beef place nearby, shall I order it?" Xiao Ruoying looked at the group.

“I agree,” Princess Yuzhang said.

"I want seven again~" The little princess's original intention remains unchanged.

“I want to eat sesame paste too!” Princess Gaoyang said.

“Okay!” Li Lizhi nodded as well.

Whether Xiao Ran expresses his opinion or not is no longer important. Since the three little princesses have made their choice, Xiao Ran will not say anything.

As for Li Ke and Li Tai, they are now studying alone in their rooms.

During this time, the two of them learned how to use the internet and how to search for information, but some things cannot be learned by searching for information alone.

However, online classes are available, and one-on-one instruction is quite efficient.

I spend most of my time in my room and rarely come out, except for mealtimes.

Xiao Ran and the others had also advised that one should balance work and rest, and that such things cannot be rushed.

But the two of them seemed to be learning very happily, their eyes filled with a fervent thirst for knowledge.

Because I enjoy it, I learn it faster.

They really enjoy the learning process.

It's also because they know they bear a heavy responsibility.

"Prepare more, we'll call His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Jin later," Xiao Ran reminded them.

“Brother, don’t worry, there’s plenty,” Princess Yuzhang said.

Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu haven't come over for a meal in a long time. It's not that the others didn't invite them, but rather that they didn't want to come.

After being refused each time, they gradually stopped calling out.

Respect the preferences of Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu.

Xiao Ruoying and Princess Yuzhang began their preparations.

I'm less inclined to eat out now and prefer to bring the ingredients from hot pot restaurants home.

Enjoy the freedom of hot pot at home.

With a large family, it's generally not good to waste food.

There were also quite a few palace maids.

Several small tables were prepared for serving meals in the villa's lobby.

One pot for each person.

The three little princesses bought the small copper pot online a long time ago.

The little princess just loves this small size.

With the help of Yu Shuxiang and a few others, the broth for the hot pot was prepared, and various side dishes were arranged on the shelf.

"Alright, let's get ready to eat!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin, "Grandpa, Mother, would you like to eat here, or over on the sofa?"

"The sofa is fine here, and the coffee table will fit perfectly," Li Shimin said.

Hongxiu and Zhang Anan moved the things over.

I just love the feeling of having hot pot with a group of people at home.

The little princess and Princess Yuzhang went to the Tang Dynasty to find Li Chengqian and Li Zhi.

Li Ke and Li Tai also came out of the room.

"It's so lively." Li Ke smiled. These people all lived in the palace, which was considered to be the same place, but only here did he feel at home.

Li Ke on the Tang Dynasty side did not have this feeling.

I just miss my mother a little.

Li Ke's biological mother, Consort Yang, is still unknown. Consort Yang was the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui was Li Shimin's cousin and father-in-law.

Empress Xiao, wife of Emperor Yang of Sui, is still in Chang'an. According to normal history, she lived until the 20th year of the Zhenguan era.

He's definitely destined for a long life.

Li Ke had always wanted to talk about these things, but he never had the chance.

Xiao Ran walked over and saw Li Ke staring blankly. He asked, "Sanlang, what's wrong?"

"I miss my mother and maternal grandmother."

Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that Empress Xiao was still alive and well.

“Grandma is getting old,” Xiao Ran said with a smile. “Would you like to take her in?”

"Yes, the conditions here are good. It's fine in other seasons, but it's warm here in winter. My grandmother is getting old, and I'm worried that her body can't handle it."

"I'll talk to His Majesty later. Sanlang, don't worry, your grandmother is in good health and will be fine. Alright, His Highness the Crown Prince is here too. Let's go down and set off." "Okay!" Li Ke followed Xiao Ran down to the second floor.

Li Chengqian and Li Zhi, who had just arrived, went to see Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun as a way of offering their greetings.

The little princess tugged at Xiao Ran's sleeve, "Little Nangjun~ Qifanfan~"

"Okay, let's eat." Xiao Ran pulled the little princess to sit down.

The little princess is definitely next to Xiao Ran.

The three little girls enjoyed the feeling of self-service.

Help yourself to whatever you like to eat.

It's not just delicious, it's also very interesting and fun.

The three little princesses tied on their aprons and prepared to eat.

The pot on the table was boiling, and the little princess got up to choose her favorite dishes.

The little princess's first choice would definitely be beef and lamb.

"Grandpa, Mom, I'll get it for you." Li Lizhi took the initiative to ask when she saw that no one had moved.

"No, no need, we'll do it ourselves. The process of choosing is enjoyable in itself." Li Shimin pulled Empress Zhangsun along. "Empress, let's go take a look."

"it is good!"

Li Tai had a big appetite, so he took a large portion and put it all into the pot at once.

In comparison, the three little princesses were much more elegant.

You cook a few slices at a time, brushing them as you eat.

The little princess smiled, a little impatient. [It's pretty much like the cover image!]

As a seasoned foodie, the little princess knows exactly how long to cook beef and mutton in hot pot.

Overcooked meat doesn't taste good either.

It felt about right, so I picked it up, dipped it in the sesame paste, blew on it to cool it down, and then ate it.

A face full of satisfaction.

Xiao Ran's favorite thing was watching the little princess eat.

Xiao Ruoying came over with a bottle of Want Want milk. "Sizi, would you like some Fanyin Seventeen?"

"Yes~"

"Sister, I want one too."

"And I."

I like Want Want Milk because it's sweet.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a hot pot restaurant!
“Little Nangjunni also Qi Ya~” The little princess noticed that Xiao Ran wasn’t eating much and looked at her.

"Okay, let's eat. I'll go get some more food."

The little princess doesn't like to take too much; she takes two small plates at a time, and only takes more after she finishes eating.

There wasn't much food on the plate.

People with big appetites only need two bites.

With so many people eating, the taste doesn't seem to be the most important thing; the atmosphere is what matters.

They got along very well.

"Xiao Ran! When are you going to prepare a dinner like this for your group of uncles?" Li Shimin suddenly said.

"You've prepared quite a lot of things," Xiao Ran chuckled. One Li Shimin is worth several princesses.

The appetites of military generals like Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing were in no way inferior to those of Li Shimin.

Xiao Ran had no idea how much food he should prepare.

We prepared a lot of food, including potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and roasted whole lamb, thinking it would be enough, but we didn't expect to leave nothing at all.

Not enough!

"Let's find a suitable opportunity to take a look later," Xiao Ran agreed.

Xiao Ran carried the bowl to Empress Zhangsun of Li Shimin and told her about Li Ke's previous thoughts.

Li Ke is indeed the biological son, but Xiao Ran is more suitable in many situations.

Li Shimin put down his chopsticks. "I almost forgot. It's no problem for me to take over now that I'm older."

Empress Xiao was also Li Shimin's mother-in-law.

Being with Li Yuan wasn't a good idea, so I had to buy a new villa nearby.
