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

Seeing Xiao Sizi's still unsatisfied expression, Chang Le thought for a moment and pushed the half-eaten cake from her plate in front of Xiao Sizi and the other girl.

"Sizi, Chengyang, your older sister is too full. If you like, you can eat it all."

"Okay, okay~"

Upon hearing this, Chengyang shook his head first, indicating that he couldn't eat anymore. On the other hand, Xiao Sizi wouldn't stand on ceremony and stretched out her hand without thinking.

However, Lin Fan was even quicker and stopped the little ox first.

"Lin Fan, what's wrong?"

Faced with the questioning look from Xiao Sizi, Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless, then shook his head with a slightly serious expression.

"Sister Si, you've eaten enough today, you can't eat anymore."

Faced with Lin Fan's sudden obstruction, Xiao Sizi's expression instantly changed from sunny to cloudy. She turned her head and looked at the cake on the table with some reluctance, saying in her childish voice.

"But...but, I still want Qi Ya~hiccup~" Xiao Sizi hiccuped before she could finish her sentence.

Lin Fan almost burst out laughing when he heard the "milk burp" sound, but he didn't change his mind and said with a bit of annoyance.

"Look, look, you're already full, why are you still eating? Aren't you afraid of bursting your little tummy?"

Hearing this, Little Si shook his head frantically, "No way, no way, I don't have Qibao yet~ hiccup~"

Lin Fan glared at him sideways, "Don't you know what's going on?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Chang Le stood up and snatched the plate in front of Xiao Sizi back.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Fan, the little ox patted its belly lightly in disappointment, venting its "resentment" in the process.

Ignoring Xiao Sizi, Empress Zhangsun looked down at the remaining pastries on the plate and was momentarily at a loss.

After thinking for a while and having no other ideas, Empress Zhangsun looked at Lin Fan with some embarrassment.

"Young master, it's a pity you brought such delicious food from so far away. We are too full to eat any more. We really have to let you down."

After a pause, Empress Zhangsun continued, "If you don't mind, may I distribute the remaining pastries?"

"Mommy, Mommy, give me some 'meat'!"

Upon hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, the flame that had just been extinguished in Xiao Sizi's heart instantly reignited.

"Good boy, Sizi, stop fooling around. Your brothers have never tasted such delicacies before."

Empress Zhangsun answered Xiao Sizi's call without turning her head, then looked at Lin Fan with some trepidation.

After all, this was something they had brought from a great distance. Although it was given to them in the name of Xiao Sizi, Empress Zhangsun still took Lin Fan's attitude into consideration.

Lin Fan smiled and said softly, "It's alright, Your Highness, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Alright, thank you again, young man."

Empress Zhangsun summoned her personal maid and then had her clean up the side dish she had already eaten.

"Send one of these two pastries to the East Palace, and the other to Zhi Nu. Also, send this to His Majesty. Oh, and remember to tell His Majesty that it was sent by the young master."

"Yes, sir!"

Watching the remaining cakes being taken away, Xiao Sizi wrinkled her nose, revealing a little expression that looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Lin Fan patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, Sizi, don't be sad. If you like it, I can just buy it for you next time."

"Really?" Xiao Sizi's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. Cake had now become her favorite food besides ice cream.

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded emphatically.

"Hehe, okay then, I won't feel uncomfortable anymore~"

Lin Fan once again experienced Xiao Sizi's lightning-fast change of expression today.

Seeing the two getting along so harmoniously, Empress Zhangsun was slightly touched.

After calming Xiao Sizi down, Lin Fan looked up at Empress Zhangsun.

"By the way, Your Majesty, we brought all the flashlights with us today. They're currently in Xiao Si's palace. What are your plans for their use?"

"Oh, so fast?"

Empress Zhangsun was somewhat surprised. Last time, after Lin Fan brought over a flashlight, she and Li Shimin spent a long time studying it afterward.

It must be said that, in the Tang Dynasty today, a flashlight was indeed an extraordinary treasure, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a divine artifact.

Thinking of this, Empress Zhangsun asked excitedly, "I'd like to ask the young master first, approximately how much did you bring this time?"

"Five hundred!"

"Wow, they brought so many?"

Empress Zhangsun originally thought that Lin Fan would only bring a few dozen or a hundred people this time, but she did not expect him to bring so many at once.

"Young master, please wait a moment, let me think about it."

In fact, Empress Zhangsun had already arranged for people to select shops in Chang'an.

Moreover, all the glass cups that Lin Fan brought earlier were transported out, but some trouble arose during the process.

The main reason lies with Changsun Wuji. Because she didn't want to make a big fuss, Empress Changsun chose to let her brother Changsun Wuji handle the matter.

However, somehow the news of this matter was eventually leaked, and now many ministers in the court are discussing it privately.

Although this matter has not yet been brought to the forefront, it has still had some negative impacts, such as on the major aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty.

Many of them already knew about the existence of this shipment, and Empress Zhangsun was currently considering whether to temporarily halt the operation.

In contrast, Li Shimin didn't care about this matter at all. His attitude never changed from beginning to end, which was to make money first.

Anyway, no matter what, once the money is in your own hands, you're in control of everything.

Because of this matter, Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin had a slight disagreement. Li Shimin even said privately more than once, "The aristocratic families! If I want to gradually eliminate them, I will only wait until next spring!"

Li Shimin's confidence ultimately stemmed from the grain seeds that Lin Fan had previously provided.

In Li Shimin's view, all he needed to do now was ensure that every citizen of the Tang Dynasty had enough to eat. If the powerful families lost their ability to control the common people, Li Shimin had a thousand ways to destroy them!

Thinking of this, Empress Zhangsun decided to discuss it with Li Shimin again tonight. "Young master, since you've brought the flashlight, let's put it in the palace for now."
