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

Li Tai and Li Ke seemed quite interested in this and were discussing something thoughtfully in the back.

Xiao Ran showed the video he had just filmed to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was also a little surprised to see the little princess suddenly appear and disappear in the video.

"That's strange. There was nothing blocking him, and he was still in the same spot, but he just disappeared."

Li Shimin thought further ahead. If this method, which could make people disappear completely to the naked eye, were used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be invincible?

However, the soldiers couldn't bring mirrors to the battlefield, and besides, making someone completely disappear wasn't something that could be achieved with just a mirror. So Li Shimin put the idea aside for the time being and planned to discuss it again when they returned.

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

It's getting late. Although they haven't finished visiting the science museum yet, what they've seen today is enough for Li Tai and Li Ke to process for a while.

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess, "Is Sizi hungry?"

The little princess touched her belly.

I'm hungry!

Not only the little princess, but Empress Zhangsun was also a little hungry. The sandwich was too small to be filling.

"What shall we eat?" Xiao Ruoying asked.

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go eat hot pot? I saw a place like that on a video last night, and it looked delicious."

Li Shimin and the others naturally had no objections; they were fine with whatever they ate.

So the group went to a hot pot restaurant, which was quite interesting; its name was "Copper Pot Hot Pot".

Considering that most people can't eat spicy food, the soup base wasn't spicy, but it was still very fragrant.

"Sizi, I'm going to make the dipping sauce. Do you want to come with me?"

The little princess nodded and followed Xiao Ran to the condiment station.

However, Xiao Ran had clearly overestimated the little princess's height. The condiment station wasn't high, but it was still a head taller than the little princess.

The little princess placed her hand on the condiment station, stood on tiptoe, and tried to see the tabletop.

Other customers who were preparing their dipping sauces saw this and covered their mouths to chuckle.

Xiao Ran was also amused.

"I forgot you're too short."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, the little princess put her hands on her hips.

"My little one is growing tall and hot~"

"Okay, okay, then eat more later."

Xiao Ran prepared a dipping sauce according to his own taste, then put his own aside, bent down and picked up the little princess with one hand.

"Come on, Sizi, what would you like to eat?"

The little princess couldn't distinguish between the different dipping sauces, so she looked at Xiao Ran.

"I want some good stuff~"

The little princess couldn't eat spicy food, so Xiao Ran prepared a non-spicy version. The little princess sat on Xiao Ran's arm and saw the candy.

"Little Nang-kun~ Want some candy~"

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, wondering if this stuff would taste good with sugar.

But seeing how insistent the little princess was, Xiao Ran could only add a spoonful of sugar. If it didn't taste good, he could just make another batch.

After ordering, Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi went to the condiment station.

Seeing Xiao Ran holding the little princess in one arm and adding seasonings with a spoon in the other, Li Lizhi said, "Young master, why don't you put the little princess down?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It's alright, I've already taken care of it."

With that, Xiao Ran took the little princess back.

Looking at Li Shimin and the others sitting there, Xiao Ran asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to prepare the ingredients?"

Li Shimin shook his head, "It's fine as long as Chang Le goes."

Xiao Ran nodded and placed the seasonings on the table. Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang couldn't reach the seasoning station and didn't know what each seasoning tasted like, so they simply asked Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi to prepare a batch.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another, and Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying had to make two trips to get all the seasonings.

When it comes to hot pot, the first thing to put in is the meat. The little princess stares intently at the pot, asking every now and then, "Little Nang Jun~ Is it cooked yet~"

The meat rolls cooked quickly, and the little princess didn't have to wait long. Xiao Ran picked up a piece of meat, blew on it, and put it in the little princess's bowl. Then he picked up a piece for himself, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The little princess looked at the meat in the bowl, then at the dipping sauce, thought for a moment, dipped the meat in herself, and then put it in her mouth.

"Hehe~ Good boy, Seven Ducks~"

The little princess ate with great enthusiasm, dipping each piece of meat or vegetable in the sauce.

However, as she ate, she looked at the dipping sauce in Xiao Ran's bowl and swallowed.

"Little Nang-kun~ could you give me a little bit of duck~"

The little princess stretched out her thumb and forefinger to make a "little bit" gesture.

Xiao Ran looked at his dipping sauce. Since the hot pot base he ordered was bone broth, he made a spicy dipping sauce himself.

"Sizi, this is spicy, you can't eat it."

The little princess stared longingly at Xiao Ran's dipping sauce, which softened Xiao Ran's heart.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran picked up a piece of meat, pretended to dip it in the dipping sauce bowl (but didn't actually touch it), and then put it to the little princess's mouth.

The little princess only saw that Xiao Ran had indeed dipped his food in the sauce, so she happily opened her mouth and ate it.

Xiao Ruoying, who was standing to the side, took in everything and asked with a smile, "Sizi, is this dipping sauce delicious?"

The little princess cupped her face in her hands and nodded, "Okay~"

Xiao Ruoying asked mischievously, "Which tastes better, this dipping sauce or your own?"

The little princess thought for a moment, then said, "This is good!"

Li Lizhi chuckled to herself.

How can you compare the flavors if you haven't even tasted them?

Xiao Ran laughed too; as expected, children are easy to fool.

After finishing their meal, Xiao Ran said, "Shall we go buy some smartwatches for Si Zi and the others?"

Xiao Ruoying asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to buy that?"

Xiao Ran looked at the three little princesses walking ahead and said, "I'm always afraid they'll get lost when we go out, but I can't keep them with anti-lost bracelets every time we go out. Let's just buy them smartwatches so they can make a call if they get lost."

The three little princesses are all very smart, and learning how to make a phone call is a piece of cake for them.

Xiao Ruoying nodded, "That's true."

So the group went to the mall.

Xiao Ran held the little princess's hand. Ever since they entered the mall, the little princess had been turning her head to look around, seemingly interested in everything.

"Little Nangjun~ is a sheep~"

The little princess pointed to a sheep doll and said.

Princess Gaoyang then noticed another toy, "And a bear."

Xiao Ran led the three little princesses toward that direction.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want this~"

The little princess pointed to the sheep doll and said.

Xiao Ran nodded and looked down at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"What about Sanskrit and seventeen?"

Princess Gaoyang wanted the bear, but Princess Chengyang looked at it and asked for a purple rabbit doll instead.

The three little princesses, each holding a doll, walked out of the store.

The doll wasn't too big for Xiao Ran, but it was quite large for the three little princesses, almost half their size. Xiao Ran offered to carry it for them, but they wanted to hold it themselves.

Xiao Ran walked in front, followed by three little princesses holding dolls, looking extremely cute.

When they arrived at the electronics store, Xiao Ruoying and the others were already waiting there. "You've finally arrived! Come on, Sizi Fanyin Seventeen, take a look and see which one you like."

The little princess walked over and looked at the watches inside the counter.

Xiao Ran bent down and said, "This is called a phone watch. You wear it on your wrist like a watch, and you can also make phone calls."

The little princess nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Xiao Ruoying also bent down and asked, "Which one does Sizi like?"

Actually, these watches all look pretty much the same; the only difference is the color.

There was a green and white one that the little princess spotted immediately.

"I want this one~"

Xiao Ran took a look; it was exactly the latest model.

Then he looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"What about Sanskrit and seventeen?"

Princess Chengyang looked at it and said, "I like this black one."

Princess Gaoyang, on the other hand, prefers blue.

After buying the watches, Xiao Ran immediately put them on them.

The little princess looked at the watch on her wrist and brought it to her mouth.

"Hey~"

After she finished speaking, the little princess brought the watch to her ear, trying to hear the sound coming from inside.

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "How was it, Si Zi? Did you hear anything?"

The little princess shook her head, completely bewildered.

"Is this broken?"

The little princess knew that she could hear sounds when she made a phone call, but when she greeted the person on the watch, there was no sound.

Xiao Ran chuckled and squatted down, saying, "You have to make the call first, and then the other end has to answer before you can hear anything."

The little princess tilted her head and looked at her watch.

Xiao Ran took Xiao Ran's hand.

"Let's go back first, and I'll teach you how to do it when we get home, okay?"

The little princess nodded, "Okay~"

After buying the smartwatch, Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoying drove towards the villa, stopping at a fruit shop along the way to buy some fruit.

After arriving home, Xiao Ran sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Ruoying, who looked utterly dejected.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ruoying sighed deeply.

"I didn't feel it when I was walking, but now I feel so tired as soon as I sit down."

Xiao Ran was speechless. "You just lack exercise."

Xiao Ruoying turned her head away, pretending she hadn't heard.

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess came to find Xiao Ran with a banana in her hand.

Xiao Ran took the banana, skillfully peeled it, and then handed it to the little princess.

"What's wrong, Sizi?"

The little princess didn't eat the banana; instead, she held it towards Xiao Ran's mouth.

"Little Nangjun Qi~"

"Okay, I'll eat it." Xiao Ran broke off a piece of banana to follow the little princess's wishes.

The little princess raised her hand, which was adorned with a phone watch.

"Little Nang-kun~ I need to get my hair permed~"

Xiao Ran held the little princess in his arms and taught her how to make a phone call. The little princess ate a banana while learning, and the little princesses Chengyang and Gaoyang also learned beside her.

The three little princesses are all very clever. After Xiao Ran saved all the family members' phone numbers, the three little princesses quickly learned how to make phone calls and could also distinguish the notes on the phone numbers, because now our three little princesses are no longer illiterate as before.

Even if I can't recognize all the characters, I still recognize a lot of them.

After saving the phone number, the little princess pressed buttons on her watch, and Xiao Ran's phone rang.

"Hey~"

The little princess's voice came from the phone and from beside her.

Xiao Ran readily agreed, asking, "Who is it? Is it Si Zi?"

The little princess smiled, "Yes~ Yes, I'm here~"

Xiao Ran said, "Ah, it really is Si Zi. What does Si Zi want when she calls me?"

The little princess said, "I want seven candies~"

Xiao Ran was amused by the little princess. "Okay, I'll go get you some candy. I'll hang up now."

The little princess looked at her watch and kissed it.

"Thank you, Little Nang!"

Xiao Ran was amused by her and pinched the little princess's face.

"What kind of candy does Sizi want?"

There are quite a lot of candies at home. After all, besides the three little princesses, they sometimes eat a couple, especially when they have low blood sugar in the morning.

The little princess thought for a moment, then said, "I want milk candy!"

Xiao Ran simply picked up the little princess and went to get it together.

The little princess spotted the cheese sticks immediately.

"I want this one~"

Xiao Ran took two bags directly.

These cheese sticks don't have a high sugar content or many additives, so Xiao Ran feels at ease giving them to the little princesses. As long as they don't eat too many at once, it's fine.

The three little princesses sat on the carpet and unpacked the package.

The cheese stick inside consisted of two plastic shells glued together. The little princess tried to open it but couldn't, so she picked up the cheese stick instead.

"Little Nang-kun~ I can't open this page~"

Xiao Ran opened the box for the little princess, took out the cheese sticks inside, and handed them to her. The little princess then sat down and obediently ate the cheese sticks.

Xiao Ran sat on the sofa, while Xiao Ruoying and Li Lizhi sat together scrolling through their phones.

Li Shimin escorted Empress Zhangsun upstairs, and after watching her rest in bed, he came downstairs again.

"My dear nephew, I remember you said you wanted to hold a sports meet?" Li Shimin asked.

Xiao Ran nodded. "Is that so? What's wrong?"

Li Shimin sat down on a single sofa and said, "I've been watching videos of sports meets and they have so many things. How about this, I'll contribute some money too, and bring some of all the food and drinks."

This is the first time we've held an event like this, so we can't be too stingy.

Xiao Ran nodded, "That's great. Actually, there's not much to eat, just snacks for kids, which they bring themselves. We just need to buy some drinks."

Li Shimin said, "I think that cola is quite good."

In addition to cola, Xiao Ran also prepared mineral water, since cola doesn't quench thirst.

This was a minor matter, and Xiao Ran didn't think Li Shimin would specifically come down to give instructions on such a thing. So after Li Shimin finished speaking, Xiao Ran asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

Li Shimin nodded. “That’s right. After seeing so many things today, I was thinking, could the Tang Dynasty also use those things? Like windmills for wind power generation?”

This touched upon Xiao Ran's blind spot in knowledge. This thing looked simple; it was nothing more than wind power driving the rotation of a windmill, which then generated power to generate electricity. But there was much more to it than that, and Xiao Ran really didn't know.

"Your Majesty, I'm really not sure about this, but Qingque and the others should have already learned this much, right?" (End of Chapter)
