The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

Before Lin Fan could make a move, Xiao Sizi had already stepped onto a small stool and opened the packaging box.

"Mother, elder sister, look! Isn't it beautiful?"

Empress Zhangsun and Changle bowed slightly and took a look. They saw several transparent boxes, each about the size of a plate, containing several pieces of food they had never seen before.

However, you can still tell from the patterns on the cake that it depicts several small animals, which are so lifelike that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are incredibly realistic.

"My goodness, how skilled must the chef be to make such pastries?" Chang Le couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Empress Zhangsun nodded, agreeing with Chang Le's point of view. Judging from its exquisite appearance, the taste must be excellent as well.

"Sizi, haven't you tried it yet? Then open it and taste it first."

"Hmm~ Mom, this is yours, this is my sister's, this is for Dad."

At this moment, Xiao Sizi was like a commander on the battlefield. With a wave of her little hand, she quickly distributed the cakes to everyone.

After finishing, she turned to Lin Fan with a smug look on her face, "Hehe, Lin Fan, I remember correctly~"

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, then reached out and took out two of the cream breads that the clerk had given him as a gift. "Who were these two 'rhinoceroses' supposed to be for again?"

"Yay~" Little Sizi clapped her hands, as if she remembered something, and with her little bottom sticking out, she climbed off the stool and ran out the door.

Empress Zhangsun and Changle exchanged glances, unable to understand what Xiao Sizi was up to.

Soon, Xiao Sizi returned to the palace, holding the hand of one person on each side; they were her personal maids, Mingyue and Qiuxia.

After the two finished paying their respects to Empress Zhangsun, Xiao Sizi, who had already returned to the table, hurriedly waved to them, "Sister Mingyue, come here quickly~"

Upon hearing this, the two cautiously looked up at Empress Zhangsun, only to see her nod with a smile. The two then quickly stepped forward.

"Hey, Sister Mingyue, these two bags are for you." Xiao Sizi pointed to the table with a grin.

"No, no, we thank Your Highness for your kindness!" The two women lowered their heads and hurriedly refused.

Although Xiao Si Zi gave it to them on her own initiative, Empress Zhangsun was right there, so they still had to abide by the rules.

This left Xiao Sizi at a loss, glancing at Lin Fan and then turning to look at her mother.

Seeing this, Empress Zhangsun waved her hand gently and smiled, "Since this was specially prepared for you two by Xiao Sizi, then you should accept it."

Upon hearing this, Mingyue and Qiuxia immediately knelt down to express their gratitude, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty the Empress, thank you, Prince Jinyang, thank you, young master!"

Although this was a gift from Xiao Sizi and had the approval of Empress Zhangsun, they both knew that Lin Fan was definitely involved, so they thanked him as well.

Seeing that the two of them were actually bowing to him, Lin Fan subconsciously and somewhat unaccustomedly turned his body to the side.

Then, Mingyue stepped forward and respectfully accepted the bag handed to her by Xiao Sizi, and then she and Qiuxia left the main hall.

"Lin Fan, can we go now?" The task assignment was successfully completed, and Xiao Sizi immediately looked at Lin Fan expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan awkwardly touched his nose. Empress Zhangsun was still watching from the side. Why did it seem like he was the "person in charge"?

Without thinking further, Lin Fan nodded, stepped forward, and opened all the outer packaging of the cake. "Alright, eat up."

"Okay, Mother, Sister, Fifth Sister, hurry up, seven yuan and seven jiao~" Xiao Sizi said as she pushed Empress Zhangsun aside to sit down.

Empress Zhangsun did not refuse their kindness and smiled as she accepted the spoon Lin Fan offered.

However, looking at the exquisitely crafted pastries in front of her, she was momentarily reluctant to take a bite.

"Mother, elder sister, it's almost time to go to the door!"

Little Sizi wasn't going to be polite anymore; she picked up the spoon and started feeding herself non-stop.

"Wow, this is so good, it's so sweet!"

Seeing this, Chang Le and Cheng Yang also took action, taking a bite of cake and exclaiming in surprise, just like Xiao Si Zi.

Seeing the three little ones' "exaggerated" expressions, Empress Zhangsun smiled helplessly before picking up a spoon, scooping a spoonful from the edge of the cake, and slowly putting it into her mouth.

Seeing that Empress Zhangsun had finally made her move, Xiao Sizi immediately grinned and said, "Hehe, Mother, how is it? Isn't it good?"

Empress Zhangsun nodded repeatedly with delight upon hearing this, "Yes, what Sizi said is indeed correct, but I wonder what kind of ingredient this is? How can it taste so sweet?"

Little Sizi was very happy to receive her mother's approval, but she had no answer to the question that followed.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, this is an ingredient from our later generations. We usually call it butter, but I'm not really sure about the steps involved in making it."

Empress Zhangsun nodded, somewhat bewildered. Then she realized that Lin Fan hadn't even started eating yet. Seeing that there was only one untouched cake left, she immediately waved her hand.

"Young master, please have a seat. You can have this pastry from His Majesty first. I'll send mine to His Majesty later."

The three little princesses were quick and had already eaten more than half of their food. Since she couldn't possibly give Lin Fan what she had eaten, she could only "insult" Li Shimin in the end.

Chang Le, who was enjoying her meal nearby, immediately stopped what she was doing when she heard Empress Zhangsun's words.

Looking at the cake on the plate, which she had scooped up and made a mess of, her pretty face flushed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I already ate before I came. Please eat quickly, this stuff won't keep for long."

Lin Fan was lying without batting an eye, but he overlooked the most important point.

Little Sizi was eating with great enthusiasm when she heard Lin Fan's words, and she subconsciously looked up at her little face, which was covered in cream.

"Lin Fan said there's a house, but you clearly don't have Qi Ya~"

Unexpectedly, in less than a second, his lie was exposed by Xiao Sizi, leaving Lin Fan embarrassed and digging his toes into the ground.

Empress Zhangsun smiled gently. Although she didn't know why Lin Fan said that, she didn't choose to ask any further questions.

After all, she knew better than anyone else that Xiao Sizi's actions today were entirely due to Lin Fan.

Thinking back on all the things Chang Le had done for her, all the worries she had in her heart vanished.

Before long, apart from Empress Zhangsun and Changle, Xiao Sizi and Chengyang had finished all the cakes on their plates.
