The next morning, Lin Fan was woken up by the ringing of the phone. The batch of solar lights he had ordered online had been delivered to his door by the courier.

After receiving the goods and quickly washing up, Lin Fan sat on the sofa and studied the instruction manual, also taking a look at the accompanying installation tools.

Overall, this solar light is not difficult to install; you just need to find a hole to drill in the wall and hang it securely.

A short while later, Xiao Sizi suddenly appeared in the living room with Chang Le and Cheng Yang.

"Lin Fan, my buddy!" Little Si shouted and then threw himself into Lin Huai's arms.

Normally, she wears two small buns on her head, but today she's unusually wearing a topknot that looks like a large shuttlecock.

"Haha, Sizi, who designed your hair today?"

"How does it look? Is it pretty?"

Little Sizi was clearly very satisfied with this new hairstyle, shaking her head incessantly, her little braids swaying from side to side.

"Hmm, very good, a good match for you!" Lin Fan nodded with a smile. To be honest, Xiao Sizi would be cute even with a shaved head.

Chang Le looked at the two boxes in the living room: "Brother Lin Fan, what's inside these?"

"These are the lights I bought online, solar lights. We mentioned last time that we wanted to make the palace brighter at night, so we'll be relying on these things from now on."

As he spoke, Lin Fan opened the box and took one out. Si Zi and Cheng Yang immediately followed and joined in the fun.

"Lin Fan, why is this light different?" Xiao Si pointed to the large light hanging on the living room ceiling.

"Although they look different, they all light up. Once they're installed in the palace, you can play outside at night too."

"Is Lin Fan's family any good?"

"Of course, you'll know once the little ox is assembled." Lin Fan put the lamps back into the box and turned to look at Chang Le.

"You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's go out and get something to eat first, and then take this lamp back to Datang and install it."

"Yay, I want seven packs!" Little Sizi cheered immediately at the mention of breakfast.

An hour later, back home, Lin Fan and the three little princesses took their tools and boxes and returned to Hanfeng Palace.

The palaces of the Tang Dynasty were basically laid out with their backs to the north and facing south, which maximized the lighting and ventilation.

After looking around the palace of the little rhinoceros, Lin Fan determined the approximate installation location, and then asked Chang Le to have someone prepare a long ladder.

Before long, two eunuchs carried a ladder together and came to the group.

"Your Highness, the ladder has arrived. Where would you like it placed?" As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, Chang Le turned to look at Lin Fan.

"Let's start with the main entrance; just put it at the doorway first."

Under Lin Fan's direction, the young eunuch carefully placed the ladder, then turned to Chang Le and whispered, "Your Highness, is there anything we can do to help you?"

Before Chang Le could give any instructions, Lin Fan nodded, "You two, don't leave yet. We might need your help later."

First of all, although installing these solar lights isn't a particularly technical job, it's still quite troublesome to go up and down, so Lin Fan couldn't possibly ask Chang Le to help him with the work.

Furthermore, since he might need to install it many more times in the future, Lin Fan didn't want to do it himself every time. He could take this opportunity to teach the two young eunuchs, which would make things much easier for him.

Chang Le nodded, his expression slightly authoritative, and said, "You two do exactly what Brother Lin Fan says!"

The two young eunuchs nodded quickly upon hearing this, "Yes, sir! Please feel free to give any orders, young master."

Having gotten used to each other's company, Chang Le usually acts like a well-behaved little sister, so this was the first time Lin Fan had seen her so imposing.

However, he showed no contempt whatsoever; on the contrary, he was all smiles and pleasantries.

"Okay, next we're going to install this light. I'll demonstrate it for you first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Yes, yes." The two eunuchs nodded repeatedly.

They had long heard that a remarkable young man had appeared in the palace, who not only had a good relationship with the three princesses, but was also frequently praised by His Majesty and the Empress.

The fact that they were so kind to these lowly eunuchs made them even more respectful towards Lin Fan.

After instructing the two to hold the ladder steady, Lin Fan quickly climbed up with a wireless drill in hand, found a good spot, and prepared to drill a hole.

The sound of the electric drill had just started, startling everyone below.

The two eunuchs holding the ladder trembled and almost knelt down. Mingyue and Qiuxia quickly protected Xiao Sizi, while Changle held Chengyang in her arms.

Lin Fan above was completely unaware of this scene and continued operating the electric drill.

Seeing this, Xiao Sizi quickly broke free from Mingyue's hands, ignoring the dust falling from the wall, and ran to the bottom of the ladder, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Lin Fan, be careful!"

Although the drill was very loud, Lin Fan still heard Xiao Sizi's voice and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Ptooey, Sizi, there's too much dust here. Stand back a bit, your brother's fine."

Lin Fan waved his hand and patted his nose, saying that he should have brought a few masks with him, because his mouth was full of dust as soon as he spoke.

The young eunuch beside him, though still somewhat shaken, quickly reassured him, "Your Highness, don't worry, we'll hold the ladder steady. It's dangerous here, please move to another spot."

Seeing that Xiao Sizi was still standing there motionless, Lin Fan was about to turn around and call Chang Le when Mingyue, who was standing to the side, came back to her senses and quickly ran over.

"Your Highness, the young master is being looked after here. You should listen to him and stand a little further away." Mingyue looked anxious, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Shaking her head, Xiao Sizi looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression, "Lin Fan, you're standing so high, it'll hurt a lot if you fall!"

The little girl remembered when she used to fall on her bottom, it was only the height of a step, and she cried for a long time. How much more so now that Lin Fan is standing so high.

Seeing this, Lin Fan had no choice but to climb down the ladder, pull Xiao Sizi along, and quickly walk to Chang Le and squat down.

"Don't worry, Sizi, there's really no danger. Your brother will be done quickly. Be a good boy, okay?"

"Okay then~" Seeing Lin Fan's affirmative answer, Xiao Sizi felt much relieved, and the worry on her face gradually disappeared.

Lin Fan felt warm inside at Xiao Sizi's concern; all his efforts during this time had truly been worthwhile.

Lin Fan gave Xiao Sizi another reassuring look, climbed the ladder to continue working, but suddenly remembered something and turned to look at everyone.

"By the way, if you're afraid of this sound, you can plug your ears."

Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, the three little princesses, Mingyue and Qiuxia had already placed their hands on their ears in unison.

Well, he had worried for nothing. Lin Fan shook his head with a wry smile and concentrated on his work again.

As the electric drill continued to roar, two very neat holes soon appeared in the blue brick wall.

The crowd below was stunned by this scene. They never expected that the thing in Lin Fan's hand was not only loud, but also so terrifyingly powerful!

Although they didn't know the requirements for building the royal palace, they assumed that the materials used were the best in the Tang Dynasty. Yet, even under these circumstances, two holes were drilled out in no time.

"Lin Fan, are you done yet?" Seeing that Lin Fan had finally stopped, Xiao Sizi ignored Mingyue's attempts to stop her and ran over again.

"Yes, isn't it simple and not dangerous at all?" Lin Fan smiled and nodded, steadily descending the wooden ladder.

"Wow~ Lin Fan is really amazing!" Little Si couldn't help but clap and cheer.

Patting the dust off his face and clothes from the blue bricks, Lin Fan brandished the electric drill in his hand. "Haha, this isn't because my brother is so skilled, it's all thanks to this!"

"Brother Lin Fan, what is this thing? Why is the wall so vulnerable to it?" At this moment, Chang Le's curiosity was almost overflowing the screen.

"This is called an electric drill. It's a very common tool in modern construction. There's nothing surprising about it."

"Isn't that surprising?" Chang Le thought Lin Fan's explanation was simple, but she didn't think so. After all, anything from modern times would be considered an extraordinary treasure in the Tang Dynasty.

After quickly brushing the dust off his clothes, Lin Fan took out two expansion screws from the box and looked at the two young eunuchs who were now covered in dust.

"Sorry to leave you two eating dust down there."

"It's alright, it's alright. It's our honor to be able to help the young master." The two eunuchs quickly shook their heads, joking. They wouldn't dare let Lin Fan apologize.

Lin Fan nodded. "By the way, what are your names?"

Upon hearing this, one of the more quick-witted eunuchs immediately bowed and cupped his hands, "Young master, my name is Guo Tao, and his name is Yao Li."

"Um, okay, then I'll call you Xiao Guo and Xiao Yao, is that alright?"

"No problem, no problem, please feel free to do as you please."

Lin Fan nodded and handed the screws in his hand to the two of them. "Look carefully, this is called an expansion screw. This end goes into the hole, and the marked end faces outwards. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood."

"Okay, I'll demonstrate for you. Watch carefully."

As he spoke, Lin Fan picked up a hammer from the toolbox and tucked it into his waistband. He then found a wrench and climbed up the wooden ladder again.

Lin Fan lowered his head and placed the screw into the hole on the solar light. "Watch carefully. Put the screw in, adjust its position, and then tap it in."

Then Lin Fan took out a wrench and tightened the screws. This whole process was practically a hands-on tutorial. After shaking it to make sure it was secure, Lin Fan climbed down the wooden ladder.

"So, did you all remember what I just said?"

"I've got it!" Guo Tao nodded vigorously, while Yao Li, standing to the side, looked rather distressed.

None of these things were things he had ever seen before. Lin Fan had only taught them once, and he had no confidence that he had memorized them.

Seeing their different reactions, Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, Guo Tao. Next, you take Yao Li to try pretending. I'll watch from the side. Don't worry, I'll let you know if there are any problems."

Upon hearing this, Guo Tao nudged Yao Li with his elbow. Yao Li quickly snapped out of his daze, "Okay, okay, thank you, young master!"

"Alright, then it's up to you guys now."

Lin Fan stood aside with his arms crossed, acting as the supervisor, and the three princesses followed suit.

"Brother Lin Fan, is it installed yet? Why isn't this light on?" Chang Le asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lin Fan looked at the sun high in the distance. "It's still early. This light needs plenty of sunlight. I'll set the time with the remote control later, and it will turn on by itself when it gets dark."

Chang Le looked surprised. Although she had heard Lin Fan mention it before, not actually seeing it was another matter.

Upon hearing this, Mingyue instinctively covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Young master, do you mean this lamp doesn't need human control at all?"

Seeing the two stunned maids, Lin Fan nodded confidently, "Of course, there are still many amazing things in the modern world. You'll see when you go there."

After all, this was someone personally selected by Empress Zhangsun to go to the modern world to take care of Xiao Sizi, so Lin Fan explained a few more things.

Upon hearing this, Mingyue and Qiuxia exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even more excitement and anticipation.

Next, Lin Fan instructed and taught them at the same time. At first, it took half an hour to install one, but later it took more than ten minutes to install one. Guo Tao and Yao Li quickly learned the installation method proficiently.

"You two, the rest of the work is all yours now, okay?"

Lin Fan patted Guo Tao on the shoulder, his tone full of affirmation, with a hint of modern PUA.

Guo Tao was momentarily flattered, and immediately replied with a serious expression, "Young master, I will certainly not fail in my duty!"

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and reminded everyone of the installation locations once again.

This time, the main installation is outdoors, and Lin Fan is considering preparing more table lamps for the indoor installation.

After all, this solar panel has extra interfaces, which can not only provide lighting but also store electricity.

This allows you to charge small appliances individually, but of course, large appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators can't be charged this way.

Therefore, regarding future large-scale home appliances, Lin Fan was thinking of developing a separate power generation system, such as a photovoltaic power generation device.

Xiao Sizi and the others will definitely stay in the modern world for a long time, but since they have the means to do all this, they naturally want Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun to live a more comfortable life.

"Brother Lin Fan, since there's nothing else going on here, how about I take you to see your parents?" Chang Le suggested.

Although Lin Fan did not inform Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun in advance of his arrival, he could not refuse since Chang Le had spoken.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded, but also asked, "Is this a convenient time for His Majesty and the Empress?"

After all, later generations recorded Li Shimin as a political maniac who spent most of his time dealing with government affairs. Would it be inappropriate for me to visit him so abruptly?
