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

Chapter 434 Is pressuring someone to get married a good thing?

As Cheng Yaojin kept smacking his lips, the mooncake in his mouth was quickly swallowed into his stomach. Eating only one piece seemed a little insufficient, so he turned his attention to the box in front of him.

"Cheng San, how does this mooncake taste? You idiot, hurry up and tell me!" Yuchi Gong raised his hand and elbowed Cheng Yaojin.

"Do I need to say it? Can't you tell from my expression?"

As Cheng Yaojin spoke, he bent down and took another mooncake from the box. "Delicious, I have to have another one..."

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's expression, the onlookers immediately guessed that the mooncakes must taste amazing.

Yuchi Gong couldn't help but rub his hands together, then raised his hand to bow to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I have been presumptuous!"

He took out a mooncake and, mimicking Wushang's gesture, opened it. But after just one bite, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this mooncake tastes quite good! You should all try some!"

Upon seeing this, the ministers all bowed to Li Shimin and then quickly opened the packaging. Because there were so many people eating mooncakes inside the hall, the smell of the mooncakes spread outside the hall, and even the imperial guards on the side couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Seeing these usually refined ministers now feasting, Li Shimin asked with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, how do these mooncakes taste?"

"Your Majesty, this food tastes absolutely wonderful!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have never tasted such delicious pastries before."

"What's in this? I've never seen anything like it before. But it tastes absolutely delicious!"

The mooncake gift set that Lin Fan chose contains eight different flavors.

Some of these dishes might not be to everyone's liking today, but in ancient times, they would all have been considered rare delicacies.

Hearing the ministers' evaluations, Li Shimin was very satisfied. For him, good things had been happening all the time recently. The expeditionary force had won one victory after another, and Empress Zhangsun's business was also thriving.

The Tang Dynasty of today is far more powerful than it was six months ago.

"Do you all know why I am sending you mooncakes today?"

"Your Majesty, are you trying to sell something?"

Cheng Yaojin's words almost made Li Shimin choke on his own saliva.

"You idiot, if you can't speak properly, shut up!"

"oh."

Cheng Yaojin, feeling that he had exposed Li Shimin's little scheme, quickly lowered his head.

Li Shimin ignored Cheng Yaojin, glanced at everyone, and continued:

"The mooncake is round, like the bright moon in the sky, embodying the world's beautiful expectations, and also representing perfection, happiness and fulfillment."

"Today, I present mooncakes to you all in the hope that you will enjoy good health and prosperity year after year."

"At the same time, I also hope that our Great Tang Dynasty can achieve unity of mind between the emperor and his ministers, and together create a prosperous and glorious era unprecedented in history!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers turned their heads in gratitude, and immediately bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, we thank you for your generous gift! May Your Majesty enjoy good health, and may our Great Tang Dynasty endure for ten thousand generations!"

......

At Lin Fan's hometown, amidst the reluctant gazes of his elderly parents, Lin Fan carried his two little princesses into the car.

Although there was a car door between them, the two little princesses waved their little hands to say goodbye.

"Grandma, I'll miss you! You have to remember to miss me too!"

"Grandpa and Grandma, we're leaving now. We'll have Brother Lin Fan bring us back to see you when we have time."

Seeing how sensible the two little princesses were, Cao Xueqing and Fellow Daoist Lin's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Okay, okay, we know. You two need to be good, okay? Eat more and get chubby. Grandma will be sad if she finds you've lost weight next time!"

"Yes, yes, Grandma is right." Lin Daoyou didn't know what else to say, so he could only agree with his wife.

"Okay, I know~" The little princess nodded.

"Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma," Chengyang nodded in assurance.

"Mom and Dad, we're leaving now. We'll call you when we get home."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

Lin Fan nodded, feeling a little reluctant, but he could only step on the gas.

Cao Xueqing and Lin Daoyou stood there, watching the car get further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

"Oh, if only these two little darlings were really my granddaughters!" Cao Xueqing murmured to herself.

"Yes, I wish I could too, but it's just that my son is such a disappointment!" Fellow Daoist Lin said indignantly.

By the time Lin Fan drove home, it was already dark.

I had originally planned to take my two little princesses to experience rural life, but unfortunately, my parents are so quick to criticize.

The villa was empty at the moment. The three of them sat on the sofa and rested for a while. Lin Fan then took out his phone to call his mother to let her know that he was safe.

Seeing this, the little princess and Chengyang also rushed to talk to their grandparents. After the group had been chatting on the phone for a while, Lin Fan looked at the little princess.

"Sizi, let's go back to the Tang Dynasty and bring my sister and the others back."

"Okay~"

At the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, and Empress Changle were present, while Li Chenggan had already returned to the Eastern Palace.

Upon seeing the three people who suddenly appeared, Chang Le's eyes showed a hint of joy.

"Brother Lin Fan, you're back? Didn't you say you were going to stay for two days?"

"Uh, well, nothing much happened back home, so I came back early."

Seeing the two little princesses return, Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin felt much more at ease. Although they weren't worried about anything, they still had their share of concerns.

"Your Majesty, Mother," Lin Fan greeted the two of them.

Li Shimin was somewhat displeased, "You call me 'Mother' so readily, but can't you call me 'Father'?"

Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly. Seeing Li Shimin reminded him of what had happened at home. Calling him "father" or "brother" was awkward, so he might as well call him "Your Majesty."

However, Li Shimin didn't continue to make things difficult for Lin Fan, but instead changed the subject and asked, "How are things? Are the two elders at home still in good health?"

"It's good, it's good." Lin Fan said with a wry smile.

"Dad, Grandma told Lin Fan to find a girlfriend, and said he can't come home if he can't find one!" The little princess suddenly started to fuss.

"Sizi, stop talking!" Lin Fan frantically winked and smacked the little princess.

"Girlfriend? What does that mean?" Li Shimin looked at the little princess with some confusion.

"A girlfriend is a girlfriend~"

"Father, 'girlfriend' is a term used in later generations. It's something that two people who are in love call each other," Chang Le explained, blushing.

She frequently uses Douyin (TikTok) in her later life, so she is quite familiar with many modern terms.

"Oh, I see." Li Shimin suddenly realized. "Young man, so your parents are urging you to get married? That's a good thing!"

Lin Fan's face turned bright red. Luckily, he was wearing shoes, otherwise he would have dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.
