Xiao Ran quickly placed his hand on the little princess's chin.

"Sizi, spit it out quickly."

Even though Xiao Ran didn't say anything, the little princess was about to vomit, but being a clean and tidy child, she didn't vomit on Xiao Ran's hand. Instead, she ran to the trash can and vomited in it.

Xiao Ran walked over and picked up a glass of water.

"Quick, drink some water and rinse your mouth."

The little princess took a mouthful of water, moved her cheeks, and then spat it out.

Xiao Ruoying couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey, why is Sizi eating dog food?"

The little princess pouted.

"Not good!"

As she spoke, the little princess sniffed the remaining half of the cookie in her hand.

"It smells so good~"

Xiao Ran took the cookie from the little princess's hand, turned around and threw it in front of Rou Rou, who licked it with her tongue and ate it.

Then Xiao Ran looked at the little princess.

"That cookie just smells good, it doesn't taste good at all. It's just that meat tastes different from us. Just like meat eats raw meat, but we don't eat raw meat directly, right?"

The little princess understood and nodded.

"That's how it is~ Oh my god~"

As she spoke, the little princess looked at the bag containing the cookies, "I'll never be spicy again!"

Xiao Ran smiled when he saw the little princess looking so shaken.

"Okay, no more cookies. If you want some, how about we buy some other cookies?"

The little princess nodded, "I want to try Qiqiao Ke Ni~"

This little wish is so easy to fulfill.

"Okay, let's have chocolate. Do you want anything else? We can also buy some cookies."

The little princess nodded repeatedly.

"Seven Ducks~"

Xiao Ran hadn't finished his meal yet. He went back and ate it in a few bites, then took the three little princesses to the same cake shop as last time.

They arrived just as the store manager was there.

"Oh, you've come!" The older sister greeted them warmly as always.

Xiao Ran asked, "Sis, do you still have that chocolate from last time?"

The older sister nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. How was it? Wasn't that chocolate delicious?"

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's delicious."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister could no longer hide the pride on her face.

"Haha, I knew it! What kind do you want? We have milk chocolate, filled chocolate, molten chocolate, and my family's liqueur-filled chocolates are also delicious. We also have pure dark chocolate, but this dark chocolate is quite bitter, so the kids might not be used to it."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, "Then let's take a little of everything except the dark chocolate."

The older woman responded and quickly began packing. While packing and weighing, she asked, "I also have those Maltesers, and those chocolate balls with a chocolate exterior and nuts like hazelnuts or cashews inside. Would you like some?"

Since we're already here, this stuff won't go bad.

So Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "I want them all!"

"okay!"

The older sister happily packed their food and even gave them two four-compartment boxes, which were probably made of acrylic.

Although this box isn't very useful, it looks quite nice for storing chocolates or something.

Furthermore, the middle partition can be removed, and it can be used to store some miscellaneous items.

After the eldest sister finished packing, Xiao Ran bought cookies.

Then I bought some fruit and carried the bags back to the villa.

"You're back." Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran nodded.

Seeing what Xiao Ran was holding, Li Lizhi took it from him.

"You bought so much? What did you buy?"

Xiao Ran placed the items on the coffee table and said, "It's all food, and some fruit."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran took out the bag containing peaches and plums.

"Let Yushu and Xiangcao wash it."

Li Lizhi nodded and took the things to the kitchen.

Xiao Ran took out the box her older sister had given her, rinsed it with water, and then dried it.

Seeing the box in Xiao Ran's hand, Li Li asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Ran said, "These are the two boxes my older sister gave me; they can hold some things."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran opened the bag of chocolates, poured the chocolates into one compartment, and then poured the chocolate balls of different flavors into the other compartments.

The chocolates are mixed together in one bag, except for the liqueur-filled chocolates, of course.

The chocolate balls are packaged separately. Besides the different fillings inside, the chocolates on the outside are also different. In addition to the common milk and regular dark chocolate, there are also matcha, strawberry, and so on.

Many flavors.

Xiao Ran placed the box of chocolates on the table and looked at the little princess who was staring intently at the box.

"Eat the rhinoceros, but don't eat too much, or your teeth will rot."

The little princess nodded and quickly picked up a matcha-flavored chocolate ball and ate it.

The matcha had a unique flavor, and the little princess chewed it.

"This is so nice, Qiya~"

The little princess quite likes the taste of matcha.

Xiao Ran said, "This is matcha."

The little princess seemed to understand, but not quite.

"What kind of tea is matcha?"

This was not an easy question to answer. Xiao Ran couldn't explain it, so he could only say, "It's a kind of tea. Does Si Zi like it?"

The little princess nodded, swallowed the matcha chocolate ball in her mouth, and then picked up a strawberry one.

"This island is strawberry-themed!"

Seeing the little princess's confident expression, Xiao Ran smiled and affirmed, "Yes, this one is strawberry."

The little princess cupped her face in her hands and smiled, her tiny teeth crunching as she chewed on the nuts inside.

Xiao Ran picked up another bag and took out a chocolate from it.

The chocolates Xiao Ran bought were all small pieces, in all shapes and sizes, so the little princess could eat one at a time.

But this chocolate is much bigger now.

Xiao Ran picked one up and handed it to Li Lizhi.

"This is a liqueur-filled chocolate, would you like to try some? It's filled with liqueur."

This was the first time Li Lizhi had ever eaten chocolate like this. She first smelled it and didn't smell any alcohol. Then she tentatively took a small bite.

After biting off the outer chocolate coating, a layer of sugar coating is revealed, and only after biting down further can you taste the liqueur filling.

Xiao Ran asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Li Lizhi nodded, "It has a very unique flavor, but it smells quite good."

Xiao Ran originally planned to buy a few less liqueur-filled chocolates so that everyone could just try them, but thinking that someone might like them, he bought more, especially Li Shimin, whom Xiao Ran thought would most likely like them.

He and Li Lizhi had the same idea.

"Young master, how many of these liqueur-filled chocolates did you buy? I'd like to give some to my grandfather."

Upon hearing this, the little princess quickly raised the chocolate ball in her hand as well.

"Give Grandpa seven ducks~" Xiao Ran smiled and patted the little princess's head.

“You can eat it yourself, your grandpa has more. Look, there are still plenty in that bag.”

The little princess looked at the bag beside her, nodded, and put the chocolate ball in her hand into her mouth.

Xiao Ran took half a bag of liqueur-filled chocolates upstairs.

"His Majesty."

Li Shimin raised his head from the book he was reading.

"Nephew, come in."

Xiao Ran walked in, and Li Shimin immediately noticed the bag in Xiao Ran's hand.

"what is this?"

Xiao Ran placed the bag on Li Shimin's bedside.

"This is a liqueur-filled chocolate. It has a chocolate and sugar coating on the outside and a liqueur filling on the inside. I thought you would like it, so I brought it up."

The liqueur-filled chocolates piqued Li Shimin's curiosity.

He picked one up and took a bite, cutting off half of it in one bite.

A fragrant aroma of wine mixed with the sweetness of sugar wafted over.

"This chocolate is delicious."

Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun beside him, instinctively wanting to share with her, but Xiao Ran quickly said, "Although there is very little wine in here, it's better not to give it to Auntie just to be on the safe side."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin also realized what was happening.

"Yes, yes, I was really confused."

Empress Zhangsun smiled gently and said, "I don't like the taste of alcohol, so I won't eat it."

"Grandpa~ Grandma~ Little Nangjun~"

Xiao Ran turned around and saw the little princess running up with her short legs. Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang could not run as fast as her and were following behind her.

Upon seeing the little princess, Empress Zhangsun's already gentle eyes softened even more.

"Sizi, come to your mother."

The little princess quickly ran over.

Empress Zhangsun hugged the little princess tightly. "Sizi is such a good girl. Has she been listening to her husband lately?"

The little princess nodded, "I'll be good!"

Li Shimin, who was standing nearby, chuckled and teased, "Who was that who just ate dog food?"

The little princess snorted and buried her face in Empress Zhangsun's arms, ignoring Li Shimin.

Empress Zhangsun gently patted the little princess's back and asked softly, "Why did you come up here, Sizi? Did you miss your mother?"

The little princess nodded and then held up the bag in her hand.

"This is for my mother~"

Empress Zhangsun thought it was still a chocolate with liqueur filling, so she said, "If Mother doesn't want it, Sizi can have it."

The little princess opened the bag and took out a cookie.

"Auntie Qi~ We still have lots of ducks~"

This is simply a paraphrase of what Xiao Ran said earlier.

Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Auntie, just eat what Si Zi gave you. You can't finish the chocolate-covered liqueurs, so these cookies are perfect for you. We can just buy more if you run out."

Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun accepted the cookie.

"Okay, thank you very much, Sizi."

The little princess snuggled against Empress Zhangsun with a grin.

"Aniang~"

Empress Zhangsun patted the little princess and then called over the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang.

"How are Fanyin and Shiqi doing lately? Is kindergarten fun?"

While the mother and her three daughters were chatting, Xiao Ran also started talking to Li Shimin, but they talked mostly about cement.

According to Xiao Ran, Li Shimin planned to bring the highway toll system to the Tang Dynasty, charging only merchants and not ordinary people.

The group chatted for a while, especially the little princess, who chatted with Empress Zhangsun for a few words before toddling off to find Xiao Ran.

After chattering away for a few more minutes with Xiao Ran, he went back to find Empress Zhangsun.

The room was filled with joy as the little princess's lively voice rang out.

the next day.

Xiao Ran took the little princess to school.

After the little princess reluctantly went into the classroom for class, Xiao Ran went to find Li Chengqian.

He bought a lot of chocolates yesterday, and he also brought some for Li Chengqian. There were all kinds of chocolates.

In addition, he also brought some for Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo.

Upon arriving at the Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian unexpectedly did not attend to state affairs but instead stood outside the hall.

When they came over, Li Chengqian was still reading memorials. Why is he outside so soon? Is he tired?

Seeing Xiao Ran approach, Li Chengqian asked in confusion, "Young Master? Is there something you need?"

Xiao Ran shook the bag in his hand.

"I brought you some food, I forgot about it earlier. It's all kinds of chocolates, all kinds of flavors. The spherical ones have nuts inside, and the larger ones have alcohol inside."

"Wine?" Li Chengqian looked at the bag curiously. He
Just as he was about to open it, he heard a eunuch beside him say, "Your Highness, the Vice Minister of Works has arrived."

Li Chengqian looked up and saw the Vice Minister of Works pushing something towards him.

Xiao Ran followed Li Chengqian's gaze and then realized that the thing this person was pushing looked so familiar.
The Vice Minister of Works walked very fast. When he got closer, Xiao Ran realized that the man was actually pushing a bicycle.

The bicycle looks a bit bulky, and some parts are made of wood, but it is definitely shaped like a bicycle.

Xiao Ran walked over, looked it over, and asked, "Is this a bicycle?"

The Vice Minister of Works nodded.

"That's right. This is a replica we made based on the bicycle that the young master sent. It can be ridden, but it's a bit bulky and less durable than the one the young master sent."

Although he said it wasn't as good as the bicycle Xiao Ran had given him, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.

In any case, this was the first bicycle they had ever invented.

Li Chengqian was even more excited.

"Let me try it!"

With that, Li Chengqian got on his bicycle and started riding.

After making a round, Li Chengqian got out of the car.

"This bicycle is good, but there are still areas that need improvement. The biggest problem is that it is too bulky."

Li Chengqian had naturally ridden the bicycle that Xiao Ran sent him. It was indeed faster and easier than walking. With a light push of his feet, he could cover several steps.

However, this bicycle requires a lot of effort to move, and it might be more suitable for fitness than transportation.

Xiao Ran also rode it for a test ride and agreed with Li Chengqian.

However, once the first one is built, things become much easier; all that's needed is to continue optimizing it.

Li Chengqian chuckled and simply said "reward," then instructed them to continue their research.

When he said goodbye to Xiao Ran, Li Chengqian still had a smile on his face.

Xiao Ran completely understood his excitement, so she just smiled and went to the kindergarten. Calculating the time, it was almost time for the long break.

Sure enough, when Xiao Ran arrived, the little princess was resting.

"Little Bag~"

The little princess ran towards Xiao Ran.

"Slow down, Sizi."

The little princess ran up to Xiao Ran and tugged at his clothes.

"Little Nang-jun~ Come on, Qiqiao Ke Ni Ya~ Is this good~" (End of this chapter)
