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

Chapter 285 The Little Princess Receives Red Envelopes!

The little princess started making extra-large dumplings for Li Yuan.

Xiao Ran was very careful when cooking, afraid that it would fall apart accidentally.

That pot must be full of minced meat.

That's alright, but the little princess will probably be sad.

Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) refused to cook the little princess buns, fearing they would spoil and cause the little girl to cry.

So we decided to let Xiao Ran cook it.

These are extra-large steamed buns made from many dumpling wrappers, sewn together and patched together.

"Can this even taste good?" Princess Yuzhang was both amused and exasperated.

It needs to be cooked a little longer, in case the meat inside is raw.

I'm afraid the skin will get mushy if I cook it for too long. It's so difficult!

“Okay, Qiya~” the little princess immediately replied.

“Sizi, it’s hard to cook it properly like this, it’ll easily spoil.” Li Lizhi could also tell.

"I'm so done~" The little princess didn't buy any more large sizes.

Empress Xiao looked at the little princesses and smiled, "How wonderful."

If it's not easy to cook, Xiao Ran should consider making it into potstickers.

Only Xiao Ran, Li Yuan, and the little princess have extra-large sizes.

"Sizi, is it delicious?" Princess Chengyang asked.

"Good duck~" Although she likes to eat meat, the little princess did not waste any.

"Sizi, let me try it." Princess Gaoyang leaned closer.

The rest was fine, but I got full after eating only a few.

"And there are wontons and dumplings too!" Princess Yuzhang pointed. "Aren't you going to eat the black sesame-filled glutinous rice balls?"

"Seven Ducks~"

These are all the little princess's favorites.

"These glutinous rice balls are good too, beautiful girl, another bowl, please," Li Yuan called out.

"Grandpa, this glutinous rice is hard to digest; eating too much will cause stomach pain," Princess Yuzhang said hurriedly.

This thing isn't expensive; it's not that I'm unwilling to give it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also noticed that everyone else was only eating a small half bowl.

"In that case, we'll eat it again next time." Li Yuan didn't say anything more.

Li Shimin had the largest appetite, followed by Li Tai, both of whom were far ahead.

After dinner, the three little princesses went to feed the dog. Today was a special day, so the dog got an extra meal.

Li Yuan and Consort Zhang did not rush back, but chatted with Empress Xiao.

Li Yuan felt a sense of regret for not having met her sooner.

The three little princesses had fallen asleep, but the group showed no sign of leaving.

Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi, and the others could only accompany a few elderly people.

"The Empress shouldn't stay up late, she should go to bed early!" Li Shimin said.

Empress Zhangsun is currently pregnant, and Li Shimin must be careful.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan and Consort Zhang returned home.

Xiao Ran and Li Tai even went to see them off, although it wasn't far.

Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve. This festival, which is extremely important now, was not as important as the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin and his companions also noticed that society was becoming more lively.

The atmosphere is quite different.

"How wonderful, how festive!" Princess Yuzhang said, looking outside.

The villa was also decorated with couplets, the character "福" (fortune), and red lanterns.

The three little princesses changed into festive red cotton-padded jackets.

The festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year was instantly created.

"Hehe, this dress looks good on you, Second Sister Sizi," Empress Xiao said, rubbing the little princess's head.

"Hehe~ I'm so happy, bubbling away~" the little princess exclaimed.

"You little rascal!" Li Lizhi shook her head.

This is what Xiao Ran said. The little princess got a blister and said it hurt. Xiao Ran made up an excuse and said it was because she was beautiful and bubbling. The little princess remembered it.

Although she's only two or three years old, she's already starting to care about her appearance.

"Yes, yes, our Sizi is so beautiful she's practically bubbling with joy!" Empress Xiao liked her more and more as she looked at her; she hadn't had much contact with her before. She rarely encountered her.

Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying naturally had to go back home for the Chinese New Year.

Both of them need to be here at the villa; they can't be absent.

After discussing it with my family, we had our New Year's Eve dinner at noon and then took Li Lizhi and the others back home.

He made an excuse that he had to go to Li Lizhi's house for work.

My mom didn't object, and my dad didn't say anything either.

Just don't mention the villa.

Although Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying were quite unhappy that they hadn't returned for a long time, they were happy to see Li Lizhi and the three little princesses.

At first, only Xiao Ran didn't come back for a long time, but now Xiao Ruoying is too.

Staying at home for extended periods is annoying and an eyesore, but if I don't come back, they'll start nagging.

This is difficult to manage; you need to come back frequently, but you can't keep them for too long at a time.

Leave before your parents start to get annoyed.

Just find the right balance.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were good at chatting, and the three little princesses were also good at coaxing people.

Other people's children are always better.

Watching the little princess eat so heartily, the mother grew increasingly fond of her and longed even more to hold her grandson.

She glared at Xiao Ran for no apparent reason.

Xiao Ran was confused, but Li Lizhi realized what was going on and was secretly laughing.

After dinner, Mom took out the red envelopes she had prepared. "There aren't many, one for Chang Le and one for Wei Yang."

“Auntie, we don’t need it, we’re not little kids anymore.” Princess Yuzhang had also researched these customs.

"It's the New Year, you have to keep these." Mom gave them to Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.

Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang were still polite to each other, but the three little princesses didn't know what red envelopes were; they just thought they looked pretty.

"Little Nangjun, what's this?" The little princess approached Xiao Ran with a red envelope in hand.

"Sizi, here's some money!" Xiao Ruoying squatted down and pinched the little princess's cheek.

"Wow~ It's money~" The little princess is now obsessed with money.

I'm not sure how much money can buy, but I just want to save it.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang, open it and take a look.

The three of them paused for a moment when the red banknotes were taken out.

The Tang Dynasty banknotes weren't like this before. Although I saw them in Xiao Ran's supermarket a long time ago, I've forgotten about them now.

"This is just a little money~" the little princess was unsure.

“Yes, this is it. How about I put it here for you, sister?” Li Lizhi teased the little princess.

"I won't!" The little princess put the red envelope into her little bag.

Hehe~ It's my nest~

Seeing that Xiao Ran also had one, he took it from Xiao Ran's hand, saying, "Little Pouch, I'll put it away for you~"

“Sizi, do you still want your brother’s red envelope?” Princess Yuzhang also saw it.

The little princess doesn't want Xiao Ruoying or anyone else, nor does she want the two little princesses; she only wants Xiao Ran's.

"I still want my brother's." Xiao Ruoying said with a hint of envy.

The little princess's feelings for Xiao Ran are quite different, and Xiao Ran's feelings for the little princess are also quite different.

These two people are rather special.

"Mom, we're going back now. We have other things to do," Xiao Ran said.

My mom was a little reluctant to let them go, thinking that Li Lizhi and the others would make things more lively.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere and crowds are what make it feel like the New Year.

"Come back for dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year!" Mom said.

"Okay!" Xiao Ran picked up the little princess.

The supermarket has been very busy these past few days, with many people buying New Year's goods. Xu Wenya and the others working there have been extremely busy.

Xiao Ran had to go and see; as the boss, he had to show his appreciation.

It's unlikely they'll close down for the day, but they'll still receive plenty of red envelopes (cash gifts).

Especially at times like this, it's like a year-end bonus; everyone gets a month's salary as a red envelope reward.
