"Mommy, Mommy, you don't know, that big airplane flew so high! I even saw lots of clouds!" The little princess waddled up to Empress Zhangsun, excitedly recounting her morning airplane ride.

Seeing that the little princess was no longer paying attention to him, Li Shimin quickly turned his gaze to Chang Le and Cheng Yang.

Chang Le was looking down at her phone when she quickly found the photos she had taken on the plane.

"Mom, look, these are all the photos and videos I took."

Empress Zhangsun turned around, with one arm around the little princess and the other around Chang Le. Cheng Yang was standing in front of her. Then the group gathered together and watched the first-person perspective from the airplane with great interest.

Although Chang Le's filming skills were mediocre, Empress Zhangsun felt as if she were actually there through the screen, and was instantly filled with a sense of shock, while her hands and feet also went numb.

"My God, this is so high! The houses below look like ants."

Hey! No, could you please pay some attention to me first? I'd like to know too!

Seeing his three daughters completely ignoring him, Li Shimin's heart was bleeding.

Lin Fan did not go over to disturb the princesses, but instead sat down opposite Li Shimin.

"Old Deng, wouldn't you like to see the ocean?"

"What do you mean, 'ascend'?" Li Shimin asked, his face full of questions.

Unexpectedly, he had blurted out his true feelings. Lin Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you wanted to take your mother to the beach."

Li Shimin pursed his lips. It would be a lie to say he didn't want to go. Although he had fought in many battles and traveled to many places in his life, he had never actually seen what the ocean looked like.

"How am I supposed to get there? I can't even take a plane. I can't possibly rely on my own two legs, can I?"

Sensing the resentment in Li Shimin's words, Lin Fan decided not to keep him in suspense any longer.

"You can't take a plane, but that doesn't mean you can't go out and have fun! Have you forgotten what Little Si is capable of?"

Li Shimin wasn't stupid either; after Lin Fan's reminder, he realized what was going on.

"Oh right, how could I forget about that?" Li Shimin slapped his thigh suddenly. "Wait a minute! Are you deliberately trying to prevent me from taking a plane, that's why you're reminding me now!"

Huh? Lin Fan's brain almost short-circuited.

"I only remembered it after I boarded the plane. Besides, are you sure you can let your mother board the plane without worry?"

That seems to be true; ultimately, it's just that the timing didn't match.

"Alright then." Li Shimin didn't bother thinking about it anymore. He looked up at Lin Fan with great interest, "So, when do we set off?"

Lin Fan shrugged. "Anything is fine now, it's up to you guys."

"OK!"

Without hesitation, Li Shimin ignored the mother and her three daughters who were having a pleasant conversation and immediately returned to his inner chamber to retrieve his modern attire.

Soon, Li Shimin came out dressed in casual clothes.

"How is it? Do I look alright in this outfit?" Li Shimin paced back and forth a couple of times in front of Lin Fan.

Looking at the casual shoes Li Shimin was wearing, Lin Fan felt something was off and decided to go out and buy him a pair of flip-flops to try on when they got back to the hotel, but he didn't care about that for now.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

After Empress Zhangsun and the princesses finished looking at the photos and videos, they noticed that Li Shimin had changed his clothes.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Oh dear, Mother, I forgot to tell you." Chang Le gently patted her forehead, "Brother Lin Fan wants to take you and Father to the future to see the sea, so we came back specifically to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun reacted even faster than Li Shimin. She immediately thought of the little princess's amazing abilities, but she also had some concerns.

"I'm afraid my current condition isn't very convenient, is it?"

"It's alright, Mother. Even just going to take a look around is fine."

As for activities like swimming or going out to sea, Lin Fan would definitely not allow Empress Zhangsun to participate, but simply taking a walk on the beach to relax would not have any negative impact on her health.

Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment and finally agreed, "Alright, then I'll go with you to take a look."

Empress Zhangsun waited until the sun was almost setting before getting up and changing into a plain-colored robe. Then, she took the little princess's hand, and in a flash, they appeared in the hotel room where Lin Fan and the others were staying.

After a quick glance around, Li Shimin was immediately drawn to the scenery outside the window.

"Guanyinbi, come quick!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Le helped Empress Zhangsun to Li Shimin's side, and the next second Empress Zhangsun looked straight ahead.

"My God, is this the ocean?" At that moment, Empress Zhangsun was at a loss for words to describe her feelings.

Students who grew up in coastal areas may not understand why people from inland areas yearn for the sea so much.

Because the inland mountains and skyscrapers create an indescribable sense of boundary in the field of vision, while when facing the sea, the view is unobstructed, and the feeling of unease disappears instantly.

Just like now, looking at the vast blue sea outside, shimmering under the sunlight, with countless seabirds constantly soaring through the air, Empress Zhangsun's melancholy from being confined to the palace for so long has also dissipated.

While the two were admiring the scenery, Lin Fan took out Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun's ID cards and booked a room for them at the hotel, which happened to be right across from theirs.

"Alright, let's go downstairs to check in first, and then head straight to the beach later, how about that?"

The suggestion was immediately approved by Li Shimin and the three princesses.

And so, the group of people took the elevator downstairs in a flurry of activity. The receptionist didn't seem surprised to see Lin Fan leading Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun forward.

After all, with so many new guests checking in every day, it's impossible for the hotel staff to remember everyone, which is why Lin Fan isn't worried about being discovered.

After checking in and taking their room keys, Lin Fan led the way towards the beach.

He chose this hotel because it was close to the beach; it only took him a few dozen seconds to walk from the gate to the beach.

The moment one foot touched the sand, the two little princesses burst into excited shouts.

Smelling the salty sea breeze, Li Shimin subconsciously closed his eyes and opened his arms; it was a truly wonderful feeling.

At this point, the sun has completely sunk into the sea, leaving only a sliver of sunlight on the distant horizon. It's the perfect time for a walk.

Empress Zhangsun was pregnant, so she walked very slowly, and Chang Le was always by her side supporting her.

It was the first time she had faced the sea like this, and the excitement and exhilaration she felt were beyond words.
