Drive to the Tang Dynasty, where supplies are refreshed daily!

The little princess nodded, completely trusting Xiao Ran's words.

The group returned to the vegetable garden and continued planting tomatoes.

Xiao Ran did most of the planting, and the little ones were also very serious, but they were small and their abilities were limited.

Xiao Ran brought them here more for the experience than to actually grow vegetables, so after seeing that the little princess and the others were a bit tired, he took them back.

After returning home, the kids, no longer tired from planting tomatoes, rested for a while and then started playing shuttlecock in the yard.

"One~ two~ three~" The little princess watched intently as she counted how many kicks her third sister had made.

After kicking the shuttlecock more than ten times, Third Sister accidentally dropped it, the shuttlecock grazing her feet.

The little princess clapped her hands happily, "Awesome~ So awesome~"

Third Sister smiled and then handed the shuttlecock to Princess Chengyang.

Xiao Ran watched them play shuttlecock from the side, shaking his head with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly smile, young master?"

Xiao Ran said, "They looked exhausted in the vegetable garden just now, but after coming back and eating a couple of pastries, they went out to play shuttlecock again."

Li Lizhi smiled as she watched the little princesses kick the shuttlecock one by one.

"I must say, Fan Yin's kicking technique is quite impressive," Princess Yuzhang said with a smile, appearing at some point.

Xiao Ran turned around and saw Princess Yuzhang and Zhang Erya behind him.

"What have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you much," Xiao Ran asked.

I haven't seen Li Lizhi and the other two much these past few days, and I wonder what they've been busy with.

Li Lizhi said, "We are making spring clothes for Sizi and the others."

Xiao Ran frowned. Of course, he didn't object to Li Lizhi and the others making clothes for the little princess and the others, but there were embroiderers in the family. It was because they were considering making spring clothes in the spring that Li Shimin specially brought back an embroiderer for Xiao Ran during the Lantern Festival.

"Don't you have embroiderers at home? Is it because they're not doing a good job?" Xiao Ran asked.

Li Lizhi chuckled softly, "The embroiderers' work is naturally excellent, but this is also our way of showing our appreciation."

Princess Yuzhang said directly, "We don't have much to do every day, so making clothes is our way of showing our appreciation and also a way to pass the time."

Xiao Ran played with the little princesses every day, and whenever he thought of a toy that he could make, he would go to craftsman Liu to have it made.

Liu's craftsmanship was much better than Cheng Chumo's, so even the little princesses' building blocks had many more different shapes.

They even drew pictures on a wooden board based on the puzzle Xiao Ran described, then divided it into small squares to make a puzzle. The puzzle was quite simple, but it was enough for the little princesses to play with.

As a result, the little princesses had plenty of toys, while the older girls like Li Lizhi had nothing to do for entertainment. To pass the time, they simply started doing needlework.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and have craftsman Liu make a set of mahjong tiles, and then I'll teach you how to play mahjong."

Although they didn't know what mahjong was, they could tell from Xiao Ran's words that it was a kind of entertainment.

Princess Yuzhang quickly replied, "That would be perfect!"

Actually, they weren't bored, since they'd been doing this for years. But seeing Sizi and the others having fun everywhere, Li Lizhi and the others couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Xiao Ran simply went directly to Craftsman Liu, but this time he didn't use wood, but bamboo.

Mahjong is very simple to make. Craftsman Liu understood it as soon as Xiao Ran explained it and said he would definitely finish it within three days.

When the little princesses got tired of playing shuttlecock, Xiao Ran found them resting and drinking fruit tea when he returned.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran return, the little princess quickly ran over to him.

“Little Nangjun~ Kang Xiaotuji~” the little princess said, tugging at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran bent down. "Let's eat first, and then we'll go see the little rabbit, okay?"

The little princess nodded quickly, "Little Nang-jun~ what's so good about 'qi' (a type of duck)~"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Today's meal is all Si Zi's favorite food."

When the tomatoes were planted, the little princess was already drooling over the tomato seedlings, so today Xiao Ran asked the kitchen to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, as well as braised pork, sesame cakes, stewed chicken, and so on.

The little princess's eyes lit up instantly when she saw scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Red~"

Xiao Ran picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for the little princess.

"Yes, it's a tomato. Sizi, eat it quickly."

The little princess discovered the best way to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes: mix it with rice!
The little princess ate a whole bowl of rice with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After finishing her meal, the little princess couldn't wait to see the little rabbit.

“Little Nangjun~ We’re going to give the little bunny a name~” the little princess said.

Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "So what do you want to call the little rabbit?"

The little ones started discussing it, each one of them chiming in with their own words.

Finally, a very straightforward name was chosen: Yu Yu.
Because the little ones said that Chang'e's rabbit was called the Jade Rabbit, they named their rabbit Yuyu.

As soon as they arrived at the rabbit hutch, the little princess couldn't wait to call out, "Yu Yu~ Come out here quickly~"

The doors and windows of the rabbit hutch can be opened and closed. Right now, the doors and windows of the rabbit hutch are all open. The entire rabbit hutch is about two-thirds the size of Little Princess, so you can see inside very clearly.

Through the window of the rabbit hutch, you can see Yu Yu nestled in a haystack.

We originally put cotton and blankets for it, but Yu Yu always liked to chew on them and kick them around, so we switched to hay.

"Yu Yu~" came the little princess's sweet, childish voice.

Hearing the noise, Yu Yu looked up, her ruby-like eyes darting over. Seeing the little princess, she perked up her ears and skipped out.

Several little ones immediately surrounded her. Perhaps because they often came over, or perhaps because they were used to Taoist Master Xuanqing, Yu Yu wasn't afraid at all. She even went up to the little princess's feet and rubbed her nose against her little boots.

The little princess squatted down and gently stroked Yu Yu's soft, smooth fur with her little hands. The fur felt like a cloud.

Seeing Yu Yu so affectionate, the little princess was overjoyed, "Hehe~ Yu Yu loves to eat duck~"

The other little ones weren't going to be outdone and quickly joined in.

The rain and dew were applied evenly, with one person rubbing against another and the other nudging them with their head.

Xiao Ran stood at the door, watching them play with Yu Yu, his eyes full of tenderness. He turned around and took out carrots and greens from the bamboo basket beside him. This was food prepared for Yu Yu, which was usually kept here and cut into small pieces so that it would be easy for Yu Yu to eat.

Xiao Ran handed the diced carrots and greens to the little princess: "Come on, Sizi, feed Yuyu something."

The little princess took the carrot piece and carefully held it to Yu Yu's lips. Yu Yu smelled it and then ate it in small bites, her mouth moving as she ate, looking very cute.

"Duck~ Yu Yu is here~" The little princess was delighted to see Yu Yu munching on the carrot in her hand.

The other little ones also fed Yu Yu one by one, but Yu Yu had already eaten lunch, so she didn't eat much. After Yu Yu stopped eating, the little ones started playing with her.

Actually, it's more accurate to say we were playing with jade rather than playing together.

Fortunately, Yu Yu has a very good temper. Even though her fur was all ruffled from being petted, she didn't get angry. You know, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and the story of a rabbit kicking an eagle is not just a legend.

After playing for about an hour, the little ones got a bit tired, so they sat down to rest, holding Yu Yu in their arms.

But not long after, the little princess frowned, hugged Yu Yu, and whispered to Xiao Ran, "Little Nang Jun~ Yu Yu is acting strange~"

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward: "What's wrong, Si Zi?"

"Little Nangjun~ Come and see Yuyu duck~" The little princess's voice was a little anxious.

The other little ones also gathered around, and Princess Chengyang asked in confusion, "Why isn't Yuyu moving? And she's not licking my hand anymore."

Princess Gaoyang's voice carried a hint of worry as she gently touched Yu Yu's ear, "And its ear seems a little cold."

Xiao Ran squatted down and carefully took Yu Yu. He reached out his finger and gently touched Yu Yu's ears, which were indeed a little cold. He then touched its nose, which was no longer moist as usual, but rather a little dry.

Yu Yu curled up in Xiao Ran's palm, her eyes somewhat unfocused, no longer as lively as before, and she just blinked weakly.

"She probably caught a chill, or ate something unclean." Xiao Ran frowned. He carefully examined Yu Yu's body but found no external injuries.

The food was fresh, so it must have been chilled.

Upon hearing that Yu Yu was sick, the little ones became extremely anxious.

The little princess's eyes welled up with tears, "Little Nangjun~ Yuyu is sick~"

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head. "It's alright, Sizi, don't worry. She's probably just caught a chill and will be fine soon."

Afterwards, Xiao Ran carried Yu Yu and led the little ones back into the house. He first put Yu Yu on the table, then found a clean cotton cloth and gently covered Yu Yu's body to keep her warm. After that, he turned around and went to find Sun Simiao.

First it was Little Swallow, then Yu Yu. Sun Simiao is practically a veterinarian now. He even has to go check on the pigs.

Seeing Xiao Ran approach, Sun Simiao asked, "What's wrong? What's the matter now?"

Sun Simiao is currently researching surgical procedures and is very busy.

Xiao Ran chuckled, "That little rabbit seems to be sick, that's why I asked you to come and take a look."

Sun Simiao sighed and put down the book in his hand.

Records about surgical procedures existed very early on, but they were not passed down and are incomplete.

Sun Simiao had heard Xiao Ran talk about surgery that day, so he had been reading books for the past few days.

Now that Xiao Ran said the rabbit was sick, he could only put down his book and follow Xiao Ran out.

The two first looked at the rabbit, and the little princess even looked up at Sun Simiao with a worried expression and asked, "Is Yu Yu alright?"

Sun Simiao stroked the little princess's head with a kind expression.

"Don't worry, Sizi, nothing will happen."

The little princess nodded emphatically, "Okay~"

After observing the rabbit's condition, Sun Simiao didn't take action himself, but instead called Hongxiu over.

Hongxiu has learned a lot from Sun Simiao, and this time, dealing with rabbits is a test for her. Of course, Sun Simiao will be watching from the side.

After carefully observing the rabbit, Hongxiu concluded, "It must have caught a chill."

Then, Hongxiu took down several medicinal herbs from the shelf, including perilla, dried tangerine peel, and ginger, all of which are herbs that dispel cold and warm the stomach. She placed the herbs on the cutting board and chopped them finely with a knife.

The little princess stood to the side, watching her movements with curiosity.

"Little Nang Jun~ Are these medicines for Yu Yu Qi?" the little princess asked softly.

"Yes, Yu Yu caught a cold. These medicinal herbs can help dispel the cold and help her get better quickly."

After chopping the medicinal herbs, Hongxiu put them into a small earthenware pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and simmered it over a low flame. Soon, wisps of steam rose from the pot, and a faint aroma of herbs filled the air.

The little princess pinched her nose, her whole face scrunched up, clearly thinking about how bitter the medicine she was taking was.

After simmering for about half an hour, the medicine was finally ready. Hongxiu took the earthenware pot down and set it aside to cool. Sun Simiao approved of the prescription Hongxiu had written and then took the opportunity to teach Hongxiu about the related ailments.

When the medicine cooled to lukewarm, Xiao Ran took it back to the living room. He used a small spoon to scoop up a little of the medicine and carefully brought it to Yu Yu's lips. However, Yu Yu tugged at her nose, then immediately turned her head away, refusing to drink it.

The little princess was extremely anxious upon seeing this: "Yu Yu, hurry up and call me Qi Ya!"

San Niang and Yan Yao were even more earnest in their advice: "Yu Yu will get better after drinking the medicine. Good medicine tastes bitter!"

Yu Yu couldn't understand human speech; all it felt was that the dark water in front of it would make it die of bitterness if it drank it.

Helpless, Xiao Ran gently pinched Yu Yu's mouth and slowly poured the medicine into her mouth. Yu Yu struggled a few times, but eventually drank the medicine.

After administering the medicine, Xiao Ran gave Yu Yu some warm water and then put it back in the rabbit hutch to let it rest.

The little guys stayed close to the rabbit hutch, and Xiao Ran would come over from time to time to check on Yu Yu, give it water, and even asked the kitchen to cook some warm rice porridge, which he would feed to Yu Yu with a spoon to replenish its energy.

Before we knew it, the sun had gradually set, and the setting sun streamed in through the window.

After drinking her medicine and eating some rice porridge, Yu Yu felt much better. She was no longer as weak as before. Instead, she opened her eyes, looked at the little princess, and occasionally moved her little paws.

Seeing that Yu Yu was getting better, the little princess jumped up happily: "Little Nang Jun~ Nikon~ Yu Yu is moving~"

The other little ones were also very happy, and Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He then checked on Yu Yu's condition and found that she was indeed much more energetic.

"It seems Yu Yu is alright now," Xiao Ran said.

After a while, Yu Yu became more and more energetic, and even hopped and skipped towards the carrot that it hadn't finished eating and had fallen on the ground of the rabbit hutch.

“Little Nangjun~ Is Yuyu hungry?” The little princess looked at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran took out a piece of green vegetable and tentatively fed it to Yu Yu. (End of Chapter)
