"Oh, whose kids are you?" the older woman asked with a smile.

The little princess wasn't shy at all, tilting her head back and saying, "I'm from Xiao Nang Jun's duck family~"

Xiao Ran noticed the commotion and walked over.

"What's wrong, Sizi?"

The little princess looked at Xiao Ran and then turned to hug his leg.

When the older sister saw Xiao Ran coming over, she smiled and said, "Is this your child?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, these three are all my sisters."

The eldest sister praised with a face full of envy, "Your three younger sisters are so beautiful."

Then she bent down and said to the little princess, "Little one, would you like Auntie to teach you to dance?"

The little princess nodded repeatedly; she had come because she was interested.

The square dance moves are quite simple, and the next song is a bit slower, so the older sister dances in front, and the three little princesses follow behind.

Although they couldn't keep up, the three little princesses all seemed very happy.

The eldest sister would often loudly praise her, saying, "Hey! That's right! You danced so well!"

Xiao Ruoying looked at Li Lizhi, "Changle, shall we give it a try too?"

Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed and waved her hand.

"I'm not going."

Seeing this, Xiao Ruoying didn't insist that she go, but instead went to join the three little princesses in the fun.

After jumping for a while, Xiao Ran looked at the sky and called them back.

"Let's go, we should go home."

Although it's not as cold now, it still gets a bit chilly after dark.

After saying goodbye to their eldest sister, the three little princesses followed Xiao Ran home.

The little princess didn't have to go to school the next day, but she still got up very early.

"Little Bag~"

The little princess lay on the bed, reached out a hand to touch Xiao Ran's chin, then withdrew her hand and covered her mouth to giggle.

Xiao Ran touched his chin; some stubble had grown out.

Then, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his chin against the little princess's face.

"Duck~ Hahaha~ No duck~ It itches~"

The little princess shook her head, trying to chop off Xiao Ran's chin, but failed.

Xiao Ran and the little princess played around for a while before stopping.

The little princess's smile didn't stop anytime soon; she was still laughing.

Xiao Ran helped the little princess sit up and patted her back.

"Okay, stop fooling around. Let's go wash up and then eat."

The little princess nodded, "Okay~ Seven meals~"

Xiao Ran took the little princess to wash up first, and then went downstairs to eat.

This morning was still just congee and side dishes, plus salted duck eggs.

The little princess tasted a salted duck egg and smacked her lips.

"So fragrant!"

The yolk of the salted duck egg that Xiao Ran gave her tasted very fragrant and wasn't too salty, but Xiao Ran still said, "You should eat rice while eating salted duck eggs, otherwise it will be too salty."

The little princess obediently drank a sip of porridge.

This porridge has been cooked for a long time; it's already cooked until it's bursting open, and it smells very fragrant.

The little princess drank a bowl of porridge and ate a piece of osmanthus cake, and that was enough to fill her up.

After the little princess had finished eating, Xiao Ran took the three little princesses and Xiao Ruoying to the kindergarten.

There's no class today. I brought Xiao Ruoying here so she could help with the registration for the sports meet events and the sports uniforms.

However, when they arrived, no one said there was anything wrong with the sportswear. The only problem was that they didn't know what the activities were, so Xiao Ruoying had to explain them to them.

The three little princesses naturally listened attentively as the explanation was being given.

After each activity was explained, the little princess exclaimed, "Little Nang-kun~ I want to play too~"

Xiao Ran said, "Of course Si Zi can participate. Si Zi is the class monitor, how can she not participate?"

The little princess was delighted to hear this.

"I'd like to try this!"

The little princess pointed to the long jump area and said...

"it is good."

Xiao Ran made a mental note of it and asked, "Besides the long jump, is there anything else you'd like to play?"

Then, Xiao Ran looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"Are there any activities that Fanyin and Shiqi would like to participate in? There will be a reward if you win!"

Princess Chengyang signed up for a math-based running event, while Princess Gaoyang signed up for not only the shuttle run, but also the relay race and the long jump. If Xiao Ran hadn't been considering her energy level, Princess Gaoyang would have even wanted to sign up for a few more.

The registration issue was resolved quickly, and the areas on the playground were already planned, so Xiao Ran and the others went back.

Since it was still early when they got back, Xiao Ruoying looked around and said, "Why don't we go out and have some fun?"

Xiao Ran leaned back on the sofa, glanced at Xiao Ruoying upon hearing this, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xiao Ruoying hadn't thought it through either; she was simply bored and wanted to go out.

Just then, Li Tai came downstairs. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Young master, I heard you have a science museum here, is that right?"

Xiao Ran turned around and said, "You actually came downstairs. That's rare."

He then answered his question, "Yes, there is. What's wrong? Do you want to go and see it?"

Li Tai nodded. "I've heard there's a lot of modern technology inside. I want to see it for myself."

"There's nothing wrong with that," Xiao Ran said, looking at the three little princesses who were putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

"Sizi Fanyin Seventeen, do you want to go out and play?"

The three little princesses naturally heard what Li Tai had just said.

The little princess spoke first: "Okay, let's go out and play!"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang nodded in agreement.

So Xiao Ran made the decision: "Okay, let's go then. We'll eat out for lunch."

Li Tai's heart skipped a beat. "Thank you, young master."

After saying that, Li Tai hurriedly went upstairs, presumably to inform Li Ke.

Xiao Ran also went upstairs, but he was going to find Li Shimin, and of course, he took the little princess with him.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Ran greeted Li Shimin.

Li Shimin, who was reading a book, looked up.

"what happened?"

Xiao Ran said, "We plan to go to the science museum. It has exhibits on various modern technologies. Would Your Majesty like to come along?" Li Shimin closed his book. "Oh? So, Qingque and the others are going too?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

Li Shimin said, "No wonder, I just heard him shouting something."

After speaking, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then said, "I do have some ideas, but..."

Xiao Ran knew what Li Shimin was worried about and said, "Auntie can definitely come with us. Unlike outside where there are many people, the science museum is not crowded inside, so it won't bother Auntie."

"Moreover, it's better for pregnant women to go out and see the world. Otherwise, staying at home every day will make even a healthy person feel restless."

Li Shimin thought about it and realized it made sense.

Sometimes when he was scrolling through short videos, he would see related information, such as "prenatal depression" and "postpartum depression," which Li Shimin had come across.

The reason why he didn't take Empress Zhangsun out much in the past was simply because he was afraid she might accidentally fall or someone might bump into her. So they usually stayed in the courtyard of the villa or not far from the villa.

Now that Xiao Ran says there aren't many people in the science museum, Li Shimin feels much more at ease.

"Okay, let's go together."

"What, let's go together?" Empress Zhangsun had just come out of the restroom when she heard this question.

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran, who smiled and said, "Auntie, we're planning to go to the science museum. Would you like to come with us?"

Empress Zhangsun hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at her stomach.

Xiao Ran quickly said, "Don't worry, Auntie, there won't be too many people inside. Besides, we're all going, so there will be plenty of people. Nothing will happen."

The little princess also looked up at Empress Zhangsun.

"Mommy~ Let's go out and play together~"

Empress Zhangsun sat on a chair to the side and thought for a moment.

"That's good. I've been feeling a bit bored staying at home lately, so going out for a walk will help me relax."

The matter was settled.

Because there were many people going, two cars were brought, one for Xiao Ran and one for Xiao Ruoying.

Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and the little princess were sitting in Xiao Ran's carriage.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang rode in Xiao Ruoying's car because there weren't enough seats.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun sat in the back, while the little princess sat in the passenger seat.

Xiao Ran fastened the little princess's seatbelt and then headed towards the science museum.

Their science and technology museum is quite large; it ranks among the top in the country.

Upon arriving at the science and technology museum, Li Shimin and his entourage were stunned by the magnificent building before them.

Although they knew long ago that modern architecture was different from that of the Tang Dynasty, the science and technology museum was indeed a science and technology museum, and the entire building was full of technological meaning from the outside.

This was Xiao Ran's first time visiting as well. He had seen the science museum online before, but seeing it on his phone was nothing compared to the awe-inspiring experience of seeing it in person.

However, Xiao Ran quickly came to his senses.

"Let's go inside," Xiao Ran said.

Li Shimin came to his senses and nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Ran, carrying the little princess, took the lead and walked into the science museum.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun kept looking around. Just as Xiao Ran had said, there weren't many people here. The science museum was very large, so although there were people coming and going, it wasn't crowded.

After the group went inside, a small robot slid over instantly, with a cute emoticon displayed on its top screen.

"Welcome to the Virtual Science and Technology Museum! Please have your tickets checked here. If you purchased your tickets online, please scan your face."

As he spoke, the emoticons on the screen transformed into a camera.

Xiao Ran leaned closer, and the camera disappeared, replaced by Xiao Ran's ticket purchase information.

After clicking "confirm," the little robot's emoticons returned, and it said in its cute, slightly electronic voice, "You guys take your time browsing~ Coco has to go help others now!"

After saying that, the little robot walked towards the person who had just entered.

Empress Zhangsun smiled and said, "This little thing is really cute."

Xiao Ran said, "This is also a feature of the science museum. I saw online that this little robot is not much different from a real person. When it talks, it's just like talking to a real person. It even gets angry when you talk to it."

"This is so much fun!" Empress Zhangsun became interested.

Li Tai and Li Ke stared intently at the little robot. They had been trying their best to learn for a long time, but these things were not easy to learn, and they had hit a bottleneck, which was why they thought of coming to the science museum.

After all, you can't learn something just by imagining it.

"Yeah, otherwise we can give it a try."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran shouted at the robot.

"cocoa."

No one came over at that moment. Coco was on standby, but she slid over instantly after hearing the sound.

"Coco is here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Ran revealed a wicked smile.

"Coco, do you get paid for your work?"

Perhaps because she had been asked this question so many times, Coco immediately replied upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, "Coco's salary is all spent on buying batteries."

As she spoke, she made a crying face, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise, "This little gadget can actually respond!"

Coco stopped crying and said, "Of course, I'm Coco."

Xiao Ran smiled and asked, "Can Coco sing?"

Coco's electronic voice carried a hint of pride as she replied, "Of course!"

As he spoke, Coco started singing in electronic music. The lyrics were a jumbled mess, and you never knew what the next line would be. And perhaps because of the electronic music, his singing sounded somewhat funny.

Listening to this medley of songs, Xiao Ran was amused, and Xiao Ruoying laughed uncontrollably as well.

On the contrary, Li Shimin and the others had not heard so many songs and did not notice any problems. Empress Zhangsun even said with a look of novelty, "I didn't expect that they could actually sing."

After enjoying Coco's singing, Xiao Ran teased him a couple more times before heading into the science museum.

After walking a few steps, I saw something that looked like a cabinet, except that there were two 3D figures on it that could move.

Li Lizhi was the first to notice the two little figures. She was startled by the eyes that were looking at her and instinctively grabbed Xiao Ran.

"Young master, look over there."

Xiao Ran looked in the direction Li Lizhi was pointing, then smiled and said, "That's also a kind of AI, similar to Coco, except they're on a screen and don't have Coco's body."

Li Lizhi said, "But their eyes move, as if they can see us."

Xiao Ran led the group toward that direction, explaining as they walked, "You can think of their eyes as sensor cameras; they sense that someone is here, so they turn toward us."

The lights inside the science museum weren't very bright to begin with, so the two of them were somewhat eerie. Even Xiao Ran was startled when he suddenly looked over, but the little princess didn't seem scared at all.

She grabbed Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang and ran over there.

"Hey duck~" The little princess greeted them politely.

Unfortunately, neither of them could speak; only their eyes could follow the little princess's movements.

But they would wave to people who came by, as if greeting them, and they would nod or shake their heads if asked simple questions. (End of Chapter)
