Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

After finishing their meal, the group strolled back to the villa along the tree-lined path.

Li Yuan smacked his lips. "Little girl, that hot pot is really delicious. You can eat four different flavors at once, and there are so many dipping sauces to try. It's really great."

Li Yinxun smiled and said, "If Grandpa likes it, we can go often in the future."

But next time I won't be able to have butter hot pot.

Stepping into the gate of Li Yuan's new villa, a refreshing coolness immediately greets you.

The indoor temperature is pleasant, cool, and refreshing, a stark contrast to the sticky, hot outside.

Li Yuan looked around in confusion. "Yin Xun, it's as hot as a steamer outside, how come it's so cool as soon as we come in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess in Li Yinxun's arms eagerly took credit, exclaiming:

"It's a small character, it's a small character."

Li Yuan teased her with great interest, "Little name? Who is 'Little name'?"

The little princess pouted slightly and mumbled, half understanding, "It's just... sometimes it listens to me, sometimes it doesn't... that's called 'little'."

Li Yinxun pinched her cheek and smiled to defuse the situation: "It's not 'Xiao,' it's 'Xiao Zhi.' Come on, say it with Auntie—Xiao, Zhi."

"Little... Satoshi!"

The little princess tried hard to correct him, her face scrunched up, and finally she pronounced the words correctly.

Li Yinxun turned to look at Li Yuan and Li Chengqian, who were both completely bewildered, and patiently explained:

"The villa is equipped with a whole-house smart system. Did you notice when you entered that the lights turned on automatically? The air conditioner also turned on automatically. It senses the room temperature and automatically adjusts to the most comfortable temperature, so the house is kept at a constant temperature all year round."

Li Yuan and Li Chengqian looked at each other in bewilderment. How was this any different from magic?

Seeing that the two of them still looked bewildered, Li Yinxun smiled and said to the little princess in her arms, "Come on, perform one for Grandfather and Chengqian."

The little princess immediately perked up, cleared her throat, and shouted into the air, word by word:

"Ash, turn on the TV!"

"Okay, the TV has been turned on for you."

As the crisp, pleasant machine sound rang out, the huge LCD TV in the center of the living room lit up, and images from "Journey to the West" appeared on the screen.

Sun Wukong was wielding his golden cudgel when he somersaulted into the sky.

"Smoke Wukong!" the little princess shouted excitedly, pointing at the screen.

Li Yuan and Li Chengqian both widened their eyes.

Li Yinxun praised, "The little princess is wonderful."

Chengyang, watching from the side, couldn't resist the urge and said, "Auntie, I want to try it too."

"Okay, come on over." Li Yinxun nodded with a smile.

"Ash, turn off the lights!"

"Okay, the living room lights have been turned off for you."

The lights went out instantly, plunging the living room into darkness, with only the television providing light.

Li Lizhi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation as she watched her two younger sisters vying to be the first to act silly.

"Alright, alright, turn on the lights." Li Yinxun hugged Chengyang and praised him just as gently, "Chengyang is amazing too."

"Ash, turn on the light."

The lights came back on, and Chengyang's face was filled with uncontrollable joy as she nestled close to Li Yinxun, her heart filled with sweetness.

Li Yinxun then gave a full explanation of the concept of an intelligent system: "Simply put, it's like an invisible robot living in our house. It understands human speech and can help us control all the appliances, lights, air conditioning, and curtains in the house. We don't have to lift a finger; we can just use our voice. It's very convenient."

Li Yuan remained silent for a long time before finally murmuring a sigh.

"The skills of later generations have reached such heights..."

Li Yinxun: "Grandpa, sister, brother-in-law, now that the new house is settled, I've arranged for everyone to have a physical examination first thing tomorrow morning. Let's all get a comprehensive check-up so that any illnesses can be treated early and those who are healthy can have peace of mind."

She specifically instructed, "Some items in the physical examination require fasting. You must not eat anything tomorrow morning, and try to drink as little water as possible, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the test data."

Empress Zhangsun asked with a solemn expression and trepidation, "Xiao Xun, can Father-in-law and Chengqian's old ailments truly be completely cured?"

Her father-in-law and her own child were both suffering from illnesses that weighed heavily on her heart.

Li Lizhi held tightly to her mother's arm, looking nervous and anxious as she glanced at Li Yinxun.

Li Yuan waved his hand dismissively, his tone magnanimous.

"Guanyinbi, there's no need to worry. I've lived to this age. If future generations can cure it, that's a blessing from heaven; if they can't, that's fate."

To be able to traverse a thousand years, witness such a prosperous world, and experience this journey is already a great gain.

Li Chengqian lowered his head, his heart heavy.

Since his foot ailment worsened and his mobility became increasingly difficult, he clearly sensed that his father's gaze towards him had changed.

The initial expectations and trust were gradually replaced by disappointment and alienation, and people turned their attention to Qingque instead.

Li Tai is physically fit and quick-witted. Some people in the court have been privately discussing that the Prince of Wei is a more suitable candidate for crown prince.

If future generations cannot cure his leg ailment, then all that awaits him is the fate of a deposed crown prince.

Throughout history, deposed crown princes have never met a good end.

Li Yinxun sensed the subtle atmosphere and sighed inwardly. The medical examination results were not yet available, and any promises were just empty words.

She could only calmly lay the groundwork beforehand, saying, "There's no need for everyone to be too nervous. Tomorrow's physical examination is a very routine check-up. There will be blood tests, a needle prick, which will hurt a little, but it will be over quickly. There will also be X-rays, which are done using a special instrument to look inside the body. It won't hurt or itch, and there's nothing to be afraid of."

"No matter the outcome, we have ways to deal with it. Modern medicine is far more powerful than you imagine. Many diseases that were considered incurable in the Tang Dynasty can be treated here."

Li Chengqian slightly raised his eyelids, a faint light flashing in his eyes.

After everyone decided on the departure time for the next day, they got up and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.

Li Lizhi looked at Green Ivy, "Green Ivy, you stay here for the next few days to keep Grandpa and Wan Cui company. Come back when Wan Cui is more comfortable with you."

Green Ivy nodded.

Li Yuan saw this and felt a warmth in his heart, "Li Zhi is very thoughtful."

Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and Li Chengqian stayed overnight at Villa No. 3 next door.

Li Lizhi, Chengyang, and the little princess returned to Villa No. 1.

"Chengyang and I will still sleep in our original rooms. I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed," Li Lizhi said to Empress Zhangsun. Chengyang nodded vigorously.

Empress Zhangsun smiled helplessly and did not insist.

They're not outsiders, so let them be.

As for the little princess, she naturally clung to Li Yinxun as always.

It was late at night.

Li Yuan lay on the soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Chengqian stared at the ceiling with his eyes open in the darkness.

His hand unconsciously went to his right leg, where the old wound, still throbbing, seemed like a silent reminder, constantly telling him:

Tomorrow's medical examination will determine his fate.
