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

Xiao Ran understood, "Then I'll go and call His Majesty over."

Li Chengqian nodded. Seeing that Xiao Ran had left, he began to read the memorials. They didn't always have to discuss things for long. If they were busy now, they wouldn't have to work overtime in the evening.

Xiao Ran returned to the villa and went upstairs to find Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince says that the cement can be laid, but more specific details still need to be discussed."

Li Shimin clearly knew what Li Chengqian was thinking, so he said, "Alright, let's go now."

Xiao Ran glanced at the time and said, "No rush, we can wait a bit. I bought skateboards for Si Zi and the others this morning. I originally ordered them to be delivered tonight, but I'll have them delivered now since we have PE class this afternoon."

Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Even if it's by express delivery, doesn't it take several days to arrive? How come this is so fast?"

Xiao Ran said, "This is a local delivery. Since I didn't have time to pick it up in the morning, I chose to have it delivered in the evening, just like takeout."

Li Shimin knew as soon as he heard the word "takeout".

"So this is ah."

Speaking of food delivery, Xiao Ran thought of the children in the kindergarten. After thinking for a moment, he placed an order on his phone and scheduled a delivery time.

Then, Xiao Ran sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

The three little princesses watch the TV online, and since Xiao Ran has nothing else to do, he might as well watch for a while too.

It must be said that even animated films, when they become household names and remain popular for a long time, there is a reason for it.

Although it was originally intended for children, Xiao Ran, now that he's grown up, still enjoys watching it immensely.

After watching a few episodes of the anime, the person who delivered the skateboard arrived. Xiao Ran took the skateboard and led Li Shimin to the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Chengqian diligently reviewing the memorials, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, you didn't slack off."

Li Chengqian came to his senses.

"Grandpa."

Li Shimin said, "Go and summon Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong to discuss this together."

Li Shimin was referring to his trusted ministers, who were now the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Ran glanced at it and said, "If there's nothing else for me, I'll be going now."

Seeing Xiao Ran turn to leave, Li Shimin quickly grabbed him.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Ran said, "Si Zi is about to start eating lunch, I'll go check on him."

Li Shimin directly pressed Xiao Ran to sit down to the side.

"What's the rush? You know best about this cement road. We'll talk to them about that fee you mentioned earlier later."

Xiao Ran sighed; he always seemed to be drafted.

Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Ran and suddenly reached out his hand.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin's hand with a puzzled expression.

Li Shimin said, "Do you see the thumb ring on my finger?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "I saw it. What's wrong?"

Li Shimin took off the thumb ring.

"If you do me this favor, this ring will be your reward, how about it?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "That's great, but you'll regret it."

Li Shimin laughed heartily, “I have no regrets. I gave you much more than this before.”

Xiao Ran smiled and accepted the ring.

Actually, he is not short of money now. This thumb ring was given to him by Li Shimin because he felt that Xiao Ran had to take care of the little princess and give advice to the Tang Dynasty, which was very hard work.

This doesn't even qualify as compensation; it's more like a toy for my own child.

Xiao Ran didn't take it seriously. Although the material of the thumb ring was exquisite and the origin was also great, it was just a collectible to Xiao Ran. He didn't accept it because of the value it represented, but because he really liked it. The crystal clear green color was beautiful.

After receiving the ring, Xiao Ran put it on his hand, and it fit perfectly.

A short while later, several ministers arrived. Seeing that Xiao Ran was also there, they had a general idea of ​​what was going on. They didn't know the specifics, but it was definitely something new.

Li Shimin didn't mince words and said directly, "I called you here today to discuss the cement issue. We have plenty of cement now, and I plan to build roads. However, this will inevitably empty the national treasury. The young master mentioned the matter of charging fees before, and I've come to discuss it with you."

After speaking, Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, then explained the tollbooth system, adding some of his own ideas as well.

The others also offered their suggestions and expressed their confusion.

Meanwhile, it was lunchtime for the little princess. She looked around but didn't see Xiao Ran, so she looked at Li Lizhi.

"Big sister~ Little Nangjun~"

Li Lizhi bent down and patted the little princess's head. "Young master is busy with something. How about you eat lunch by yourself today, Sizi?"

The little princess was a little disappointed when she heard this, because Xiao Ran had been accompanying her to lunch recently.

However, the little princess knew that Xiao Ran was busy with important matters, so she didn't make a fuss. She just blinked her big eyes at Li Lizhi, pouted, and said, "Sister~ You saw Xiao Nangjun~ You have to tell him I miss him~"

Li Lizhi was amused by the little princess's sticky and cuddly appearance.

"Okay, I'll tell him when the young master comes back, alright?"

The little princess nodded and then obediently sat down in her seat.

Nowadays, almost no family allows their children to bring maids or servants. More accurately, the children actively refuse to come, partly because they can now use chopsticks on their own and don't need maids or servants to feed them.

As for class time, they are already in the classroom, so there's no need for that.

Another point is that children tend to imitate others. If everyone is not accompanied by servants or maids, the other children naturally won't want to either, otherwise they will feel inferior.

As for the servants who used to bring pastries from time to time during breaks, they are nowhere to be seen now.

Nowadays, there are four classes in the morning. After two classes, there is a long break. During this break, the kindergarten provides some snacks such as cookies, and then it's lunchtime.

After lunch, and after my nap, there was yogurt and fruit, which is a very healthy meal.

This way, the children won't go hungry at all, and the servants and maids will be unnecessary.

Their main role now is to take the children to school by bicycle in the morning.

The little princess looked at the food on her plate. Today's lunch consisted of stir-fried eggs with chives, tomatoes with sugar, and a fried chicken leg, along with a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.

"It's a red duck~"

The little princess used chopsticks to pick up a piece of tomato and put it in her mouth.

Tomatoes are naturally sweet and sour, leaning slightly towards sour, but adding sugar makes them much better.

Sugar is not as scarce in the Tang Dynasty as it used to be, but people still love it, so this simple sugar-coated tomato dish is the most popular today.

What's more, the little princess already loves tomatoes.

After finishing the few pieces on her plate, the little princess licked her lips, still wanting more. She looked up at Li Lizhi, who was sitting next to her eating.

"Sister~ I still want the 7-series red duck~"

Li Lizhi glanced at the little princess's plate, "How about Sizi finishes her rice before eating the tomatoes?"

You can't just eat tomatoes and not meals.

Princess Chengyang looked at the little princess and whispered, "Sizi, you can have my tomato." As she spoke, Princess Chengyang picked up a tomato from her plate and gave it to the little princess.

The little princess instantly smiled and her eyes narrowed.

"Thank you, Second Sister!"

Seeing this, Li Lizhi smiled and patted Princess Chengyang's head. Then she looked at the princess and said, "This is the last piece. After you finish this, you have to finish your meal before you eat this, okay?"

The little princess was happy to have one more piece, and nodded in agreement.

"Mmm-da~ Wokji-do-la~"

The little princess chewed on the tomato with great satisfaction.

As for Princess Gaoyang, she had already finished all the tomatoes on her plate. Not to mention tomatoes, she had also eaten more than half of the chicken leg. When she saw Princess Chengyang putting tomatoes on her plate, Princess Gaoyang was stunned.

Seeing the little princess eating tomatoes, Princess Gao Yang thought for a moment and then offered her chicken leg forward.

"Sizi, do you want a chicken leg? I haven't finished eating yet."

The little princess chewed on a tomato and didn't answer immediately, but judging from the way she stared at the chicken leg, she was clearly tempted.

Li Lizhi was both amused and exasperated. She looked at Princess Gaoyang and said, "Seventeen can eat by herself, but Sizi hasn't even eaten her own chicken leg yet. She can't finish it."

Princess Gaoyang then took back her chicken leg.

After finishing the tomato, the little princess swallowed hard, picked up a chicken leg from the side, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Today's lunch was very much to the children's liking, and they all ate quite a bit. After lunch, Li Lizhi took them to sleep.

After waking up from their afternoon nap, they lined up to get their fruit.

Xiao Ran had not yet shown up by this point.

The afternoon is physical education class, which all the children know and look forward to. After all, it's a rare outdoor activity, and children are generally very energetic, so they really enjoy it.

The little princess looked around, with yogurt in her mouth, but she didn't see Xiao Ran.

"Little Nangjun, where are you coming from?" The little princess took the yogurt out of her mouth and looked towards the front door.

Li Lizhi said, "The young master will come over after Sizi finishes drinking the yogurt."

The little princess's eyes lit up, "They're so chubby!"

Li Lizhi nodded. "Yes, really."

Upon hearing this, the little princess quickly gulped down her yogurt.

The little princess really likes yogurt; it's sweet and sour with a milky flavor, and it even has fruit pieces in it.

Soon, the yogurt was finished, and the little princess smacked her lips.

"Wow!"

Princess Gaoyang still remembered that she hadn't been able to deliver the chicken leg at noon. Seeing that the princess had finished drinking, she handed her her own yogurt.

"Drink, Sizi."

Princess Gaoyang's yogurt hasn't been touched yet because she doesn't really like drinking yogurt. She doesn't dislike it, but she doesn't like it either, so she hasn't drunk it.

The little princess hadn't even wiped the yogurt off her mouth when she happily accepted the yogurt that Princess Gaoyang handed her.

"Thank you, Sister Seventeen~" the little princess said politely.

After finishing the bag of yogurt, the little princess drank a couple of sips of water, and Xiao Ran finally came over.

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess quickly got off the chair and ran towards Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran bent down to catch the little princess and picked her up.

The little princess wrapped her arms around Xiao Ran's neck and whispered in his ear, "Little Nangjun~ you're nowhere to be seen~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I didn't disappear. Aren't I right here in front of you now?"

The little princess nodded and said, "I miss you so much~ But my sister said you have something to do~"

Xiao Ran patted the back of the little princess's head.

“Our Sizi is so good. She knew I was busy, so she didn’t bother me, right?”

The little princess nodded.

"Mmm-hmm~"

Xiao Ran had already reached the area where the children were playing, so he put the little princess down and then lifted a large bag in his hand.

"Sizi, look at this!"

Just now, Xiao Ran was holding the little princess in one arm and carrying three skateboards in the other. The little princess was solid, and the skateboards were not light either. Now Xiao Ran felt like his arm was about to die.

After putting the little princess and the skateboard on the ground, Xiao Ran quickly stretched his arms.

The little princess was drawn to Xiao Ran's words, so she opened the bag and saw Barbie inside.

"Wow~" the little princess exclaimed in surprise.

Then she turned to look at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"Second sister~ Seventeenth sister~ Come quick~" The little princess waved to the Chengyang little princess and the Gaoyang little princess.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang were sharing an apple when they heard this and came over.

Princess Gaoyang immediately recognized what was inside the bag.

"Bro, is this a skateboard?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, this is a skateboard."

Besides skateboards, there are also protective gear inside, because it would be bad if children got hurt while playing.

While protective gear cannot completely prevent injuries, it can at least protect vital areas such as joints and the head from injury.

Princess Gaoyang took out her skateboard and looked at Xiao Ran with excitement.

"Brother, can I start playing now?"

The little princess hugged the skateboard to her arms, touched the Barbie princess on it, and said, "Little Nang-kun~ This is so cute~"

Princess Chengyang wasn't really interested in skateboarding. She was somewhat interested when she first saw it, but that interest quickly faded.

Xiao Ran checked the time and said, "You can play with it for a while, but you'll have to put it aside when class starts."

Princess Gaoyang cheered.

The little princess stood up.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want to play too~"

Xiao Ran smiled and pinched the little princess's cheek.

"Okay, I know you want to play too. Shall I put the protective gear on you first?"

The little princess nodded, and Princess Gaoyang looked at the skateboard and said, "Brother! I'll put on my protective gear myself. You play with Sizi first."

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang always gave in to the little princess.

Xiao Ran looked at Princess Gaoyang and said, "Seventeen, you can't play by yourself in secret, understand? Otherwise you'll fall."

Princess Gaoyang nodded, "I know, brother, don't worry."

Xiao Ran nodded, then turned to help the little princess put on her protective gear. (End of Chapter)
