Chapter 309 The little princess is both hungry and sleepy!
Soon, the sausages were all gone. The little princess looked at the stall owner's empty hands, then at her own little hands, and then at Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi, and the two little princesses, each holding a sausage.

"What?"

It was only then that the little princess realized that everyone had received one, but she had left her own sausage behind.

The stall owner was still smiling and teasing the child, "What should we do? You're out of sausages."

The little princess looked at the stall owner, then at Xiao Ran.

The stall owner couldn't help but start to get nervous. Heaven knows, he just thought the child was cute and wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect to make the child cry!
The little princess was too young. Usually, a child would cry long ago if they found they had no food. The fact that the little princess didn't react for so long was already beyond the stall owner's expectations.

But to the stall owner's surprise, the little princess did not cry; instead, she held up one finger.

"I want one duck~"

The little princess's idea was simple: since one was missing, she would just take another one.

The stall owner smiled and not only gave the little princess a grilled sausage, but also a skewer of grilled fish balls.

Then he turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Your child is really smart."

Xiao Ran smiled with pride and patted the little princess's head.

The little princess squinted her eyes and rubbed against Xiao Ran's palm.

Then, she looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

After thinking for a moment, he handed the grilled sausage to Xiao Ran.

"Little Nang-kun~ This duck~"

Xiao Ran took the sausage. "What's wrong? Do you want me to hold it for you?"

The little princess nodded vigorously. Seeing that Xiao Ran had held the sausage firmly, the little princess raised the fish ball in her hand.

There are only three fish balls on a skewer.

The little princess first gave one to each of the Chengyang and Gaoyang princesses, and then opened her arms for Xiao Ran to hold.

Xiao Ran picked her up and was about to hand her the grilled sausage when a fish ball was shoved into his mouth.

"Little Nang-kun~ Seven Ducks~"

Xiao Ran smiled, put the fish ball in his mouth, and then asked, "This is the last one. If you give it to me, you won't have any more."

The little princess took a bite of the grilled sausage and mumbled, "I have this duck~"

Xiao Ran chuckled, looking at the little princess with doting affection and satisfaction, and then went to buy a skewer of grilled fish balls.

The little princess gave one to Li Lizhi, and ate the remaining two herself.

The little princess smiled with great satisfaction as she ate the fish balls.

"Good seven ducks~"

After strolling around for a while, Xiao Ran led Li Lizhi and the three little princesses to the Ferris wheel.

"Wow~"

"so high!"

How does this spin?

"It's obviously transmitted through the power system."

It started with just a few princesses expressing their feelings, but then two discordant remarks suddenly came in.

"You two?" Xiao Ran turned around and saw Li Tai and Li Ke.

Li Tai smiled at Xiao Ran, "We came here because we thought this Ferris wheel was quite big."

Xiao Ran didn't care why they came, and instead said, "Want to go up for a walk?"

Li Tai and Li Ke had long wanted to go up and ride it, and they were also genuinely curious about the Ferris wheel, so they agreed.

The group boarded the Ferris wheel. Xiao Ran held the little princess in his arms, with Li Lizhi and Princess Chengyang on his left, and Princess Gaoyang, Li Tai, and Li Ke sitting opposite them.

At first, Li Tai and Li Ke were still reminiscing about the knowledge they had learned.

As the Ferris wheel gradually rose higher, they gradually fell silent.

The little princess got down from Xiao Ran's arms and sat down next to him.

She looked down through the glass, her eyes widened instantly, and she shrank back.

Xiao Ran casually put his arm around the little princess.

"What's wrong? Were you scared?"

The little princess swallowed hard, "Gorgo duck~"

As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking as if he had been frightened.

"Would it be alright for Sizi to sit inside?" Li Li asked.

The little princess shook her head, hugged Xiao Ran, and said, "I want Xiao Nangjun!"

Seeing how much the little princess clung to Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi felt somewhat helpless, but she could only let her be.

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head and asked, "Is Sizi still afraid?"

The little princess glanced down again.

She was naturally brave, and she was only startled because she wasn't on guard. Now, looking at her, the little princess not only didn't feel scared, but was even a little excited.

“Little Nangjun~ Look at the ducks~” The little princess pointed to the city lights in the distance.

Although it wasn't completely dark yet, the city lights were already on.

Sitting on the Ferris wheel, you can already see far, and looking at those lights now is like seeing the stars in the sky fall to earth.

After riding the Ferris wheel for a while, I realized it was getting late.

Xiao Ran called Xiao Ruoying, Li Shimin, and Li Yuan, and everyone gathered together again.

Xiao Ran asked, "Shall we go back for dinner, or eat out?"

"Let's go back," Li Shimin said.

Empress Zhangsun's health is such that she can go out for a walk for a while, but she can't get too tired.

Li Yuan and Consort Zhang didn't care, but Empress Xiao also wanted to go back; she was a little tired.

So in the end, everyone unanimously decided to go home for dinner!

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess hugged Xiao Ran's neck, feeling a little sleepy.

Xiao Ran coaxed, "How about we eat first and then go to sleep? There's braised pork, which you like."

The little princess instantly perked up, "Again!"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Yes, chubby."

"Hehe~ Seven ducks~"

Seeing that the little princess was so eager to eat delicious food that she didn't even want to sleep, everyone present found it quite amusing.

On his way home, Xiao Ran stopped at a delicatessen and bought a few braised pig's trotters.

The little princess has a very keen sense of smell. As soon as Xiao Ran got into the car, she sniffed around and fixed her gaze on the bag in Xiao Ran's hand.

"This smells so good~ It's so delicious~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Yes, it's meat. Does Sizi want some?"

The little princess nodded repeatedly, "I want seven ducks~"

Princess Chengyang also said, "This smells so good!"

Princess Gaoyang then asked, "Brother, what did you buy?"

Xiao Ran opened the bag to show them, "I bought a few braised pig's trotters."

The little princess stretched out her hand, "Seven ducks~"

Xiao Ran tied the bag back up and said, "Let's go home and eat together."

The little princess nodded obediently, "Let's have seven ducks together~"

When we got home, the food was already prepared because we had told Yushu in advance that we would be back for dinner. As for the dishes, since no one is in the habit of wasting food, we just reheated the leftovers from lunch.

Then there's the pig's trotters that Xiao Ran brought back.

"What is this?" Li Shimin asked, looking at the pig's trotter. Xiao Ran replied, "This is a pig's trotter."

"Pig's trotters?" Li Shimin certainly knew that modern pork was different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and he had eaten a lot of modern pork, but these pig's trotters?

Xiao Ran took out a pig's trotter and chopped it open with a knife.

"Your Majesty, this pig's trotter is delicious. You can try it later."

Li Shimin nodded, "Then I will try it in a bit."

Soon, the food was served, and the plate of pig's trotters stood out among them.

Xiao Ran didn't chop the pig's trotters into very small pieces, since it's better to eat them in big bites.

Li Yuan was the first to pick up a piece with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it. "Hmm, it tastes good."

Then, the others also started eating.

"Seven ducks~" The little princess looked at the plate of pig's trotters and braised pork, and didn't know which one to eat.

Xiao Ran picked up a large pig's trotter for her; this was something he had specially saved for the little princess.

The little princess looked extremely happy, holding the pig's trotter in both hands and taking a big bite.

The pig's trotters were stewed until very tender, so even though the little princess only had a few tiny teeth, she could easily bite off a piece.

"Good!" The little princess really liked the taste.

This restaurant's braised pig's trotters are very flavorful, but not too salty.

Actually, it was a bit bland for adults, but since Li Shimin and his companions had mostly eaten seasonings that weren't very flavorful, they found it acceptable.

Needless to say, the saltiness was just right for the little princess; it was flavorful but not too salty, and she could eat without any problem.

"Here, have some rice." Xiao Ran fed the little princess a bite of rice with braised pork.

The little princess chewed hard and swallowed the food in her mouth.

"Good seven ducks~ Again and again~"

As she spoke, the little princess took another bite of the pig's trotter.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruoying deliberately teased her, "Which do you prefer, pig's trotters or braised pork?"

The little princess frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"I love it so much! It's so delicious!"

Xiao Ruoying was amused, "You're quite greedy."

As Li Shimin ate his food, he suddenly asked, "Would you like some wine?"

Xiao Ran didn't react to this, but Li Yuan became interested.

"Young man, bring me your good wine!"

Xiao Ran chuckled and shook his head. Fortunately, he had indeed prepared wine; he was just afraid that one day he would want to drink but wouldn't have any.

Soon, the wine was served, and Li Yuan drank while chatting with Xiao Ran.

Li Shimin would occasionally chime in.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ruoying, Li Lizhi, and Princess Yuzhang were discussing future plans.

Li Ke and Li Tai quickly finished their meal and then left the table to attend their online classes.

Xiao Ran did not drink with Li Yuan and Li Shimin, but chatted with them and ate something from time to time.

As Li Yuan and Li Shimin grew increasingly engrossed in their drinking, Xiao Ran glanced at the time, only to see the little princess's expression and burst out laughing.

The three people, Li Lizhi and Li Yuan, who were chatting, looked at Xiao Ran with suspicion. Even Li Shimin and Li Yuan noticed something and looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran then turned his gaze to the little princess.

The little princess, unaware of anything, was already sitting in the chair, drowsy, or rather, asleep.

But she was still holding the unfinished pig's trotter in her hand. As she slept, perhaps she was awakened by the aroma, or perhaps she remembered that she hadn't finished her pig's trotter. The little princess suddenly woke up and then, still half asleep, took another bite of the pig's trotter.

Her mouth moved, but before she could swallow the pig's trotter, she fell asleep again. Then, who knows when, she might chew it again and then continue sleeping.

The people present chuckled as they watched the little princess go through this whole process.

Empress Zhangsun looked at the little princess from the side, revealing a helpless yet doting smile.

"Sizi is really greedy."

Xiao Ran didn't think it was anything wrong; he was just a kid, it was perfectly normal for him to act like that.

"When I came back just now, Sizi said she was sleepy, but I thought she would eat before she went to sleep. I didn't expect that she would fall asleep before she finished eating."

Xiao Ran smiled and found the little princess adorable. However, the little princess was not eating or sleeping well, so Xiao Ran took the pig's trotter out of the little princess's hand.

The little princess snapped out of her daze for a moment when her belongings were taken away. Upon seeing it was Xiao Ran, she released her grip, muttering, "Little Nang-jun~"

Xiao Ran placed the pig's trotter on the table and said softly, "Shall we go to sleep?"

The little princess was already so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. Upon hearing this, she simply nodded vaguely and then fell asleep.

Xiao Ran led the little princess up to the second floor.

The little princess was in no condition to wash up, so Xiao Ran simply wiped her face and took her to bed.

Downstairs, Xiao Ruoying looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"Are Fanyin and Seventeen sleepy too?"

Princess Gaoyang nodded. "A little."

Princess Chengyang nodded in agreement.

After all, they are just kids, so it's perfectly normal for them to feel sleepy.

So Xiao Ruoying took the two little princesses to wash up and then went to bed.

The others went to rest, leaving only Li Yuan and Li Shimin drinking.

The next day, when Xiao Ran woke up in the morning, he subconsciously touched the little princess.

Seeing that the little princess was sleeping soundly and was not sweating or feeling cold, they were relieved.

"Little Duckling~"

Just as Xiao Ran touched the little princess's forehead, the little princess woke up.

"Sizi's awake. Let's go wash up," Xiao Ran said.

The little princess nodded and let Xiao Ran carry her to the bathroom. He brushed her tiny teeth and washed her face.

After taking care of the little princess, Xiao Ran began to wash up.

While Xiao Ran was washing up, Xiao Ruoying arrived with Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

“Sizi, Fanyin and Seventeen have come to play with you,” Xiao Ruoying said.

The little princess walked over and took the hands of the two Chengyang princesses. The three little ones held hands and waited at the bathroom door for Xiao Ran to finish washing up and come out.

So when Xiao Ran pushed open the bathroom door, this was the scene he saw.

"Why are you all standing here?" Xiao Ran asked.

Xiao Ruoying explained, "Sizi insisted on waiting for you at the door, so Fanyin and Shiqi had no choice but to wait for you here as well."

Xiao Ran felt somewhat helpless.

Just then, the little princess touched her tummy and said, "Little Pouch~ I'm hungry~"

Actually, the little princess didn't eat much last night. She didn't eat a single bite of rice, and only ate a few bites of pig's trotters before going to sleep.

As for the sausages and fish balls at the amusement park, they weren't very big to begin with. They also went on the Ferris wheel later, and after walking for so long, they had already digested most of it.

So the little princess, who barely ate anything yesterday afternoon, is hungry now.

"Let's go, take our Sizi down for a good meal," Xiao Ran said.

The little princess understood, and her eyes lit up.

"Seven good seven da~ Seven again and again duck~"

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Yes, let's eat meat."
