Wu She dared not think too much and immediately sent the memorial to Li Chenggan as instructed by Li Shimin.

Li Chenggan was also one of those people who, while sitting in the palace, were blamed for everything.

Li Shimin also completely abandoned the usual travel protocol and traveled directly to Hanfeng Palace at high speed.

From a distance, he saw Empress Zhangsun and Changle standing at the entrance of Hanfeng Palace.

"Guanyinbi, I'm here! Chang Le, you're back! Where are Si Zi and the others?"

"Father, Sizi sent me back to deliver a message, but she ran back herself."

"Ah! Does Chang Le know when that young man will arrive?"

Faced with Li Shimin's question, Chang Le could only shake her head with a wry smile, since she had no way of knowing the latest information at the moment.

Seeing this, Empress Zhangsun stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Li Shimin's forehead.

"Don't worry, Erlang. Since that young man has promised to come, he will surely keep his word."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's excitement gradually subsided, but the thought of Lin Fan coming today still filled him with some excitement.

The three of them then entered the main hall together. As soon as they sat down, Li Shimin asked a question.

"Guanyinbi, have you instructed the Imperial Kitchen that today's banquet must be prepared to the highest standard?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled and sat down next to Li Shimin:

"Don't worry, Erlang. I have already given instructions. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

"Hmm, that's good. I trust Guanyinbi to handle things!"

Li Shimin then looked at Chang Le again: "Chang Le, when you extended the invitation, that young man didn't object, did he?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Le smiled and shook his head: "Father, although Brother Lin Fan considered it for a while, he finally agreed."

Li Shimin nodded and stroked his beard: "That's good, otherwise it would seem like I was making things difficult for you."

"By the way, Guanyinbi, could you please check if there's anything wrong with my attire and appearance today?"

Li Shimin was also a famously "beauty-loving" person in history. He had to groom himself meticulously every day, from his hair to his beard.

Seeing Li Shimin's nervous expression, Empress Zhangsun covered her mouth and laughed:

"Erlang is as dashing as ever."

Li Shimin's attire today was not particularly formal; he knew Lin Fan was coming, so he specially changed into casual clothes.

She was only thinking that this way she wouldn't appear too formal, but rather that she could get a little closer to Lin Fan.

Of course, even when Li Shimin was dressed in ordinary clothes, he still possessed an inherent aura of power and authority.

"Haha, Guanyinbi, you flatter me." Li Shimin was quite pleased with Empress Zhangsun's praise.

Chang Le rolled her eyes as she watched her elderly parents "showing affection" regardless of the occasion.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

Just as the two were exchanging glances, a eunuch rushed into the hall, knelt down with a thud, and trembled all over.

Li Shimin's good mood was instantly ruined: "What's the matter with you in such a panic?"

"Your Majesty, heaven...heaven has sent down...a divine...divine object!" The eunuch stammered as he pointed outside the palace.

............

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Xiao Sizi reached for the jade pendant in his arms.

With a whoosh, Lin Fan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. When he opened them again, he found himself in an unfamiliar courtyard.

Before Lin Fan could think further, a group of taxi soldiers wielding swords and wearing armor surrounded the entire car in the next second.

Because the car windows were tinted, people outside couldn't see Lin Fan and the other two sitting inside at all.

"Sizi, what...what's going on? Where are we?"

As Lin Fan spoke, he subconsciously raised his hands, looking nervously out the car window, afraid that the group of people would rush up at any moment.

"Hehe, this is where I live."

"Brother Lin Fan, this is the Tang Dynasty. That outside is the Si Zi's palace. Father and Mother should be here soon, so don't be afraid."

Chengyang pointed to the main hall in front of him as he spoke.

Lin Di snapped out of his daze and looked ahead, where he saw a majestic ancient temple standing in the center.

At this moment, he was in the courtyard in front of the main hall.

"Stop right there, all of you!!!"

While Lin Fan was staring in a daze, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe suddenly walked out of the main hall.

He shouted loudly, and the taxi drivers surrounding the car bowed and quickly dispersed.

The middle-aged man was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and Chang Le was following behind them.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Le there, looking at the two figures in front of Chang Le.

"Could this be the famous Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun from history?" Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Dad, that's Brother Lin Fan's car, they must be inside!"

As Chang Le spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran towards the car. Only when Chang Le got close did Lin Fan remember to open the car door.

After getting out of the car, Lin Fan looked at the two people walking towards him without bowing, and couldn't help but take another careful look at Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

At the same time, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were also looking at Lin Fan, while Chang Le had already skillfully carried Xiao Sizi and Chengyang out of the car.

In Li Shimin's eyes, the stranger in front of him was tall and had a very upright posture.

However, his hair was unusually short, and he didn't have a beard.

As for his appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face as white as jade.

Moreover, the short hair actually makes him look more energetic.

Of course, what he found most peculiar was Lin Fan's clothes. Even Li Shimin, who had seen many different races, had never seen such clothing before.

However, the overall look doesn't feel out of place at all; on the contrary, it highlights a clean and neat appearance.

In Lin Fan's eyes, the man in front of him exuded an aura of authority without even trying to be angry; just standing in front of him made people feel his presence.

The clothes he wore were not particularly fancy; he wore a yellow round-necked robe, and his hair was covered with a black cloth.

The beautiful woman beside him attracted his attention even more; she wore a light purple ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a plain-colored veil draped over it.

Her hair was also styled in a high bun, and she wore a pair of simple phoenix crowns.

Combined with her dignified and graceful appearance, she exuded elegance and poise, exactly as Lin Fan had imagined Empress Zhangsun to be.

At this moment, there was not a sound in the entire courtyard.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, Chang Le couldn't help but speak up:

"Father and Mother, this is Brother Lin Fan."

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun only realized what was happening after hearing this.

"Hahaha, young man, welcome to the Tang Dynasty. I am Li Shimin."

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly put away his imposing manner and instantly became amiable and approachable.

Lin Fan was momentarily flattered and, upon seeing this, quickly stepped forward to shake hands.

"What does this mean?" Li Shimin was momentarily confused as he looked at Lin Fan's tightly clenched hands.
