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

An indescribable odor assaulted my senses.

Li Yinxun frowned in her sleep, not fully awake. She instinctively tried to hold her breath, but instead took a deep breath, jolting awake.

The first thing you see is the little princess's round bottom wrapped in her pajamas, right in front of her face.

The little girl had rolled over at some point and was now lying across the headboard, her little bottom sticking up high. She was sleeping on her back with a glistening drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

That suffocating smell was emitted by this little rascal.

Li Yinxun's face was contorted as she held her breath and laboriously moved the little princess, along with her blanket, to the middle of the bed.

The little guy grunted, rolled over, and fell fast asleep again, completely unaware that he had just created a biological attack.

Li Yinxun threw off the covers and sat up, breathing in the fresh air. It took her a while to recover from the dizziness.

I picked up my phone and saw it was eight o'clock.

She sighed helplessly and rubbed her sore neck.

I slept in the same position for half the night, and my neck is almost stiff.

"Chengyang, Sizi, wake up."

Chengyang opened her eyes groggily, blinked blankly, and suddenly realized that her face was pressed against Li Yinxun's thigh. She quickly sat up, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Auntie, why am I lying on your lap...?"

"It's okay, the bed is so big, it doesn't matter where I sleep," Li Yinxun said with a wry smile, moving her legs which had gone numb. "My aunt's legs are almost numb."

Chengyang shrank back shyly and obediently sat down to the side to fix his hair.

The little princess over there wasn't so easy to coax.

Li Yinxun reached out and gently patted her little bottom, softly urging, "Little princess, wake up."

The little girl buried her face in the pillow and mumbled indistinctly, "No... just a little longer..."

"If you don't get up soon, there won't be any more xiaolongbao for breakfast!"

Li Yinxun was both amused and exasperated, so she reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. The little princess finally opened her eyes reluctantly with a wrinkled face.

It took fifteen minutes for the three of them to finally get out of the door.

Sure enough, everyone else was already eating in the restaurant on the first floor.

Qinglan and Yuzhu steamed buns, boiled eggs, and cooked a pot of mixed grain porridge with a few small dishes of pickled vegetables.

The food was simple, but everyone in the room ate with great satisfaction.

The moment the little princess saw the steamed buns, her sleepiness vanished instantly. She ran up to her high chair, grabbed a bun, and started munching on it.

After breakfast, Li Yinxun finalized today's schedule.

"Today I took my grandfather and the little princess to the hospital to get their medicine."

"Let's take Lizhi with us," Empress Zhangsun interjected. "It's Lizhi's responsibility to fulfill this duty."

Li Yinxun nodded: "Okay, Lizhi will come along too."

Li Shimin stood up and said, "Then Guanyinbi and I will go ahead and return to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yinxun nodded, having no objection.

Empress Zhangsun got up and started packing her things.

A few moments later, apart from a few people who were going to the hospital, the rest of the people disappeared from the villa.

Lizheng Hall.

The palace servants were busy with their own tasks when suddenly the air distorted, and two figures appeared out of thin air.

Several figures peeked out and then went about their respective tasks.

Li Shimin walked out of the palace and said, "Someone, take these to the imperial kitchen."

Li Shimin arranged for Qinglan and Yuzhu to take modern seasonings to the imperial kitchen to instruct the imperial chefs. He also ordered Zhang Anan to summon Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and others to the Ganlu Hall. He further ordered Prince Wei, Li Tai, to enter the palace immediately without delay.

In modern times, getting medication from the hospital is surprisingly easy.

As Li Yuan walked out of the hospital, he sighed.

"Will I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life?"

"That's how blood pressure medication works; you can't stop taking it," Li Yinxun said frankly.

"What about the wine? You really can't drink a single drop?"

Li Yinxun couldn't help but laugh when she saw his bitter and resentful look.

"Grandpa, the doctor didn't say you have to completely abstain from alcohol; just strictly control the amount you drink at one time."

Li Yinxun offered a compromise, saying, "For example, you used to drink a whole pot, but now you only drink a small cup. During holidays, you can add half a cup more. It's better to let things flow than to suppress them. If you hold it in, you'll only end up drinking it secretly later, which will harm your health."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense, that makes sense."

The little princess stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Li Yuan with a serious expression: "Grandpa, may you live a long life."

Li Yuan's lips twitched as he looked down at the little figure with raised eyebrows, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Okay, okay, I'll drink less~"

"No way." The little princess stomped her foot seriously. "I'll listen to Auntie."

Li Lizhi took Li Yuan's arm and said, "Grandfather, I also wish you a long and healthy life. On the day I get married, I want you to hold my hand and see me off."

Li Yuan's hand trembled slightly as he held his granddaughter's.

"Okay, Grandpa promises you, I'll try my best to drink less."

The little princess tilted her head and stared at him suspiciously.

Li Yinxun suppressed a laugh, deliberately raising an eyebrow as she looked at Li Yuan.

"Grandpa, take it easy. The supervisors aren't easy to fool."

The little princess imitated Li Yinxun's movements in a very convincing way, shaking her little head along with them, and had an expression that said, "Auntie is right."

Li Lizhi chuckled to herself, her shoulders twitching slightly.

Li Yuan glanced at the little princess on his left, then at Li Lizhi on his right, and then at Li Yinxun opposite him, who was smiling. Finally, he held his forehead.

"Alright, alright, this old man gives up."

With the important business concluded, Li Yinxun checked the time; there was still one more thing to do.

"Grandpa, I'm going to exchange some cash next. Would you like to come with me, or go back to the villa with Lizhi to rest first?"

Li Yuan became interested: "Exchange money? How did you do it?"

"You'll find out once you go with them; I can't really say for sure."

"Then I have to go, the old man likes to wander around."

A hint of joy flashed in Li Lizhi's eyes. Since arriving in the modern world, she had only gone out a handful of times. It was a rare opportunity to see a new place, so she was naturally full of anticipation.

"Let's go then." Li Yinxun, holding the little princess's hand, called to everyone to walk towards the parking lot.

Half an hour later, the group stepped into the gate of Juzhen Pavilion.

The old master, beaming with smiles, came forward, but when his gaze swept over Li Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly concealed his emotions and led Li Yinxun straight into the inner reception room with a normal expression.

After taking her seat, Li Yinxun smiled slightly, "Master, I didn't bring anything special today, just some gold. I was wondering if it could be converted into cash?"

"Of course, that's possible." The master craftsman nodded.

Without saying a word, Li Yinxun placed the backpack on the table and unzipped it.

Inside lay ten catties of gold, a gift from Changsun Wuji and others.

The gold was originally in an ordinary wooden box. Li Yinxun took out the gold but left the box behind.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go check the quality right away," the old craftsman said before leaving.

The reception room quieted down. Li Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and found the tea to be mellow and sweet with a long-lasting aftertaste.

Looking up at Li Yinxun, he teased, "The tea here is even better than the one you gave me."

Li Yinxun has never studied tea ceremony much. In her opinion, tea is nothing more than the difference between strong and weak flavors and aromas. She can't possibly distinguish so many intricacies.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, she was slightly taken aback. It seemed that Juzhen Pavilion valued her highly.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

The experienced craftsman returned, followed by a young man.

"Gentlemen," the master craftsman said solemnly, stepping aside, "this is Lu Jing, the future leader of the Lu family."
