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

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the seafood feast, except for Li Shimin, of course.

The South China Sea at night has shed the heat of the day, and a gentle sea breeze carrying a faint salty scent blows slowly across the coastal streets.

As night fell, the streets became much more lively than before, with all the shops and food stalls opening for business, creating a vibrant modern night market atmosphere.

After spending time together and experiencing things, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun had long since become accustomed to modern things.

Electric lights, home appliances, and all sorts of novel devices were already commonplace to them, and they no longer felt the bewilderment and shock they had when they first encountered them. The only thing that felt new to the Emperor and Empress from the Zhenguan era was the lively, vibrant, and unrestrained nightlife of the city.

After paying the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Lin Fan turned around and saw a family standing leisurely at the door, looking relaxed and at ease, just like modern people.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping calmly over the brightly lit street. Gone was the shock he felt when he first came to the modern world and saw the night view; now, he was filled with a sense of ease and appreciation. Looking at the bustling market that had been open all night, a faint smile played on his lips.

"Ah, the nights in later generations are so comfortable," Li Shimin murmured, his tone tinged with envy.

He longed for Chang'an to become like this, for such a scene of lights every night and people enjoying themselves was the true sign of peace and prosperity.

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "Father, since you like life here so much, why don't you stay here? Anyway, there's Cheng Gan over there, and so many people to help you, so nothing bad will happen."

"Forget it, I'll just come over occasionally. One shouldn't be too greedy!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Li Shimin was somewhat tempted, but in the end he suppressed his desire. After all, the Tang Dynasty was something he had nurtured with half his life's blood.

"Alright, this is our first time here, so let's enjoy the life of the seaside night market first," Empress Zhangsun suggested with a smile.

Princess Chang Le, who had been unable to contain herself any longer, stepped forward and gently took Empress Zhangsun's arm, her bright and lively eyes saying, "Yes, yes, Mother, let's go for a stroll in front!"

She had previously visited inland night markets, and thought the seaside ones would be completely different! Besides, she had specifically searched online before coming, and everyone said the beach here had lots of seashell trinkets and sweet local snacks!

Little Sizi's big eyes sparkled as she curiously scanned her surroundings. Upon hearing Chang Le's suggestion, she immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lin Fan's hand, and walked forward.

The group slowly blended into the crowd at the night market. Soon, the aromas of countless food stalls wafted over them, a mingling of grilled oysters, fried shrimp cakes, coconut jelly, and Hainan-style desserts.

The little princess was instantly captivated by the aroma, immediately stopping in her tracks. She looked up at Lin Fan, her eyes shining, and exclaimed, "Lin Fan, I want to eat this!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan squatted down and gently patted the little guy's round belly: "Didn't we just eat? Can you still eat now?"

"Hmm, I can eat!" The little princess didn't think too much about it; even just being able to eat a bite was good enough.

"Alright," Lin Fan replied with a smile, then turned to the others beside him, "Would you like some too?"

Empress Zhangsun and Mingyue Qiuxia both shook their heads, indicating that they did not need it, as they had already eaten enough. Changle and Chengyang hesitated for a moment, but Li Shimin quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Fan bought five bowls of Qingbuliang (a type of sweet soup) at once.

Li Shimin held the bowl, skillfully scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. The sweet coconut milk mixed with grains and fruits had a rich and refreshing taste.

He had already tasted many modern desserts, but he still couldn't help praising them, saying, "This food is superior because it's light and mild, neither too hot nor too greasy. It's more suitable for satisfying everyday cravings than some delicate sweet cakes. Guanyinbi, don't you really want to try some?"

Empress Zhangsun turned her head to the side. "Only now you remember me? Too late!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled sullenly and continued to sip the food.

After their initial hesitation, the two little princesses are now enjoying their meal immensely, with coconut milk crumbs sticking to their lips, looking adorable and charming.

Little Sizi ate with the most hearty appetite, showing no trace of a princess's dignified demeanor. Not only did she ate heartily, but after finishing, she held up her empty bowl and looked longingly at Lin Fan, clearly wanting another serving.

Lin Fan decisively refused the little princess's request to eat more, as he was genuinely afraid she would upset her stomach.

As I strolled along, I saw a dazzling array of glowing toys, fluorescent headbands, and bubble machines on the roadside. The colorful lights twinkled in the night, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

Before long, Chang Le spotted a pair of glowing rabbit ears and her girlish heart fluttered. She immediately hugged Empress Zhangsun and asked sweetly, "Mother, do you think this is pretty? I think it would look amazing in photos!"

Empress Zhangsun reached out and tapped Chang Le's head with an annoyance, "If you think it looks good, just buy it. Why are you asking your mother?"

"Haha, okay! Let's go to Chengyang, your older sister will take you to buy some nice things."

Chang Le didn't pay attention to the little princess. After all, with Lin Fan around, the little one would definitely be taken care of no matter what.

"Lin Fan, my buddy~" Just as Chang Le expected, the little princess hugged Lin Fan's leg and shook him for a while.

"Alright, alright, I'll buy you one too."

"Hehe~" The little princess immediately responded with a sweet smile.

In the end, Chang Le chose a pair of bunny ears for Cheng Yang that matched hers.

As for Xiao Sizi, she immediately picked the most fancy and eye-catching star headband and then couldn't wait to put it on her head.

She shook her head, the sparkling light flashing with her movement. She proudly raised her little face and skipped over to Chang Le, showing off, "Look, sister, mine is the prettiest! It's sparkly!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Le stuck out her tongue and made a face at the little guy.

Next, Empress Changle thoughtfully chose a minimalist soft-light hair clip for Empress Zhangsun. It was understated and gentle, not ostentatious but very exquisite, which suited her gentle and dignified temperament.

However, she did not hand it directly to Empress Zhangsun, but secretly gave it to Li Shimin, and then winked at her father.

Li Shimin immediately understood and silently took the hairpin and went to Empress Zhangsun.

"Guanyinbi, look at this, I chose it for you, do you like it?"

Old Li is indeed a seasoned veteran; he can lie without even blushing.

Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes at him, but in the end she silently reached out and took the hairpin. She had noticed Chang Le and Li Shimin's little actions from the beginning, but the clever Empress Zhangsun did not choose to expose them.

After this little incident, the style of the story instantly became much more interesting.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, with a fawning smile, is surrounded by four family members wearing glowing headbands. The gentle empress is paired with a lively little princess, and the solemn emperor instantly transforms into a "night market parent." The contrasting styles are hilarious yet very heartwarming.

Empress Zhangsun gently touched her hair clip, her eyes filled with a tender smile.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is thriving, her health is also improving, her mind is becoming more relaxed, and she is happy to play around with the children, no longer as restrained and reserved as she used to be in the palace.
