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

Chapter 51 A Gift for Lin Fan

Upon hearing that Xiao Sizi had come to ask for money, both Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were somewhat puzzled.

As the most precious little princess of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Sizi's life from childhood to adulthood was top-notch in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Moreover, she did not need to spend her own money, as everything she needed was provided by the Imperial Household Department.

Of course, for some older princes and princesses, the daily rewards would be enough to cover the expenses they needed to go out of the palace to purchase things.

Seeing the earnest look on Xiao Sizi's face, Li Shimin asked curiously, "What does Sizi need money for?"

Little Sizi raised his head, put his hands on his hips, and looked at Li Shimin.

"Lin Fan is helping his mother get medical treatment and also needs to buy me some goodies, but he doesn't have any money!"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Xiao Sizi's mature and sophisticated appearance, Li Shimin patted the little tuft on her head and couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't expect that Xiao Sizi would be so thoughtful at such a young age and know that she shouldn't take advantage of others all the time.

"I see, Father, I understand! Does Sizi know what kind of money your brother uses?"

Li Shimin didn't know if Tang Dynasty coins could be used with Lin Fan, since coins were different in each dynasty, and it would be troublesome if he couldn't use them!

"I have no idea either!"

Xiao Sizi was taken aback. Although she knew that Lin Fan would spend money when buying things, she had never seen him take out any money. He always paid with his phone. As for mobile payment, she was completely unfamiliar with it.

"This...!" Little Sizi knew nothing about this, and Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed.

"Erlang, what happened when you two were talking about helping me with my medical treatment?"

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun suddenly spoke up. She had just heard Xiao Sizi say that he needed money to treat her illness, and she was also a little curious. She only knew that Li Shimin had sent the imperial physician to record her condition in detail the day before, but she knew nothing about anything else.

"I will discuss this matter with Guanyinbi in detail later!"

Li Shimin is now focused on resolving the issue of Xiao Sizi demanding money. If this matter delays his medical treatment, it would truly be a loss.

"Guanyinbi, what do you think we should send to that person? I reckon that just some ordinary treasures might not be appropriate!"

After pondering for a moment without coming up with a good solution, Li Shimin subconsciously asked Empress Zhangsun, who was standing beside him. After all, Empress Zhangsun was very intelligent, and in his opinion, women were often more meticulous than men.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to consider this further!"

Empress Zhangsun also took the question raised by Li Shimin very seriously. The fact that Xiao Sizi had brought back so many amazing things during this period was enough to show how much Lin Fan valued Xiao Sizi. If he had only given some ordinary gifts, it would have seemed too stingy to the royal family.

After pondering for a moment, Empress Zhangsun seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked into the palace.

A short while later, Empress Zhangsun came out again, carrying a small rectangular box.

"Your Majesty, although I do not know what that person needs, this box contains some precious jewels that were previously presented as tribute by foreign lands. Your Majesty bestowed them upon me, but I have never used them. So, I suggest that Si Zi take them first. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin took the box, opened it, and found that it was full of things he had given to the Empress over the years.

He knew that Empress Zhangsun was very frugal in her daily life. She not only tried to live a simple life in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, but also rarely wore brocade and fine clothes except for large festival banquets every year, let alone precious ornaments such as gold and jade.

"These are all gifts I gave to Guanyinbi!" Li Shimin's words carried a hint of reluctance, but it wasn't that he was unwilling to part with these valuable items, but rather the sentiments mixed in with them.

Empress Zhangsun clearly understood the meaning behind Li Shimin's words. She walked over to Ji Shimin, took his arm, and whispered...

"Your Majesty understands your thoughts, but since Your Majesty has decided to send it, you must demonstrate the magnanimity of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"Furthermore, I also hope that this wise man will spare no effort in helping Sizi this time. As for myself, I will leave it to fate!"

Although these words were spoken in front of Xiao Sizi, she was too young to understand the underlying meaning.

Li Shimin's tiger-like eyes were filled with tears, and he certainly understood the good intentions behind Empress Zhangsun's words.

Thinking of his empress who had been with him for decades and how he had become like this, but at this moment his heart was still most concerned about his children, Li Shimin hugged them tightly and kissed them hard!

"Oh dear, Father, you're so embarrassing!"

When Xiao Sizi saw his parents openly showing affection in front of him, he quickly covered his eyes and turned away.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty! The Emperor is right here, and you're still doing this at your age!"

Although Empress Zhangsun was already a mother of several children, she was still somewhat shy in the face of this unexpected situation and quickly struggled to get out of Li Shimin's arms.

"Hehe, Sizi is young and doesn't understand anything, so why is Guanyinbi shy?"

Seeing Empress Zhangsun blushing shyly like a young girl, Li Shimin couldn't help but chuckle foolishly, and before leaving, he couldn't help but tease her.

"I won't talk to you anymore, Your Majesty. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I'll go and rest for a while!" Empress Zhangsun glared at Li Shimin, then turned to look at Xiao Sizi.

"Sizi, your mother is going to rest now. If there's anything you need, just tell your father!" After saying that, she kissed Sizi's cheek, then turned and went back into the palace without looking at Li Shimin again.

"Okay!" The little boy nodded obediently upon hearing this.

"Sizi, this box is full of rare and precious treasures. Take it and have a look. If it's not suitable, we'll come back and think of another way! Father, go and rest for a while too!"

Recalling Empress Zhangsun's gentle and feminine demeanor just now, Li Shimin's heart suddenly felt a little hot. He placed the box in his hand on the table, gave Xiao Sizi some instructions, and then walked into the hall, even though Empress Zhangsun's health meant she couldn't do anything at the moment.

"Okay!"

Seeing that her parents had gone into the inner hall, Xiao Sizi didn't linger any longer. She told Qiuxia to carry the box and headed towards Hanfeng Hall.

Not far from the Lizheng Hall, Xiao Sizi sat in her palanquin. She felt like she had forgotten something, but after thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't remember it, so she stopped thinking about it.

Before long, the eunuchs carried the palanquin back to Hanfeng Palace. Without anyone helping him, Xiao Sizi jumped down in two quick steps. Just as he reached the gate, he saw a woman sitting inside.

"Sister, what brings you here!"

Although Xiao Sizi had short legs, he was incredibly fast. He headbutted Chang Le and nearly knocked her to the ground.

"Haha, of course I missed you! I came to see you. Brother, how did you become so strong? Your older sister almost couldn't catch you!"

Chang Le couldn't help but pat Si Zi's round little face with a look of doting affection!
