Da Tang Xiao Si Zi: I have a little pouch-like boy.

We need to prepare what to eat for dinner in advance.

I don't plan to cook myself; I'll just order takeout from a nice hotel.

However, it seems that the Tang Dynasty practiced separate dining, which was a bit of a hassle.

He called Li Lizhi outside and asked, "Is that how you eat separately? You mean each person has a small table and you eat at your own table?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Lizhi nodded gently.

"Is it just me, your father, and your mother tonight? Just the three of us? Are you, Mingda, and Chengyang coming? Do you want each of us to have a low table and a dish each?"

“This…” Li Lizhi was a little confused.

She hadn't expected this. Li Qin needed to determine exactly how many people and how many tables there were when preparing the meal.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward if it wasn't enough?

Seeing her confused, Li Qin suggested, "Why don't you go back now and ask your mother? I'll have Si Zi bring you back in an hour."

“Okay!” Li Lizhi nodded without hesitation.

Tonight is the first time Mother has hosted a banquet for Li Qin, although he was the one who suggested preparing the meal.

However, the details cannot be taken lightly, otherwise it would be considered impolite on their part.

In terms of etiquette, there must be no room for error.

Li Qin opened the door and beckoned to Si Zi: "Mingda, come here for a second~"

Little Sizi wiggled its bottom as it climbed off the sofa and ran to Li Qin.

"What's wrong, Little Nang?"

Li Qin squatted down and looked at her with a smile, saying, "Now I need your help to take your older sister back home. She has something to discuss with her mother."

“After you go back, you can come over immediately to continue watching the movie, and then pick up your sister in an hour. Can Mingda help with this?”

"Mmm~ I'm all set~" the little princess patted her chest and solemnly promised.

"That's good. Here, you can take your sister home first."

Si Zi walked to Li Lizhi's side, took her hand, and disappeared in a flash.

Half a minute later, it reappeared in the same spot in a flash.

"Hehe~ Little Pouch, I'm off to take my older sister to get some fat!"

The little girl put on a slightly arrogant expression, standing there with her head held high.

Li Qin knew exactly what she was thinking, so he quickly went over, picked her up, and gave her a kiss.

"Mingda is awesome!"

"Hee hee~"

"Alright, go inside and watch the movie with your second sister. I'll remind you in an hour, then bring your sister back."

"Yeah~"

Watching the little princess happily crawl back to the sofa and sit next to Chengyang.

Li Qin suddenly slapped his forehead. Oh no, he forgot to ask Li Lizhi what Li Shimin and Changsun liked.

It's impolite to visit someone empty-handed for the first time; you should bring a small gift.

He thought about it and figured out what Li Shimin liked.

Women? I can't afford that... unless I give silicone, but I don't know if my eldest grandson would object.

Alcohol? Erguotou should be enough, I don't know if he'd be used to soy sauce-flavored liquor.

Cigarettes? Just imagining Li Shimin smoking a cigarette and gesturing wildly... uh... never mind, that's not good either.

Calligraphy and paintings? You buy these things and don't even know if they're real or fake. If you end up giving away a fake, it's better not to give them at all.

What else did men in ancient times like?

Weapons and armor?

I don't know what the consequences would be if I showed up at the Rissei-den with a weapon.

After thinking for a long time, Li Qin still couldn't come up with anything suitable.

Suddenly, Li Qin's eyes widened, and he realized how stupid he had been.

It's true that it's hard to come up with a gift in the conventional way, but if you look at it from a different angle, it becomes much easier, doesn't it?

In those novels, who the hell doesn't exchange potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn for titles or something?

Li Shimin would definitely like this!

As for the eldest grandson, giving her cosmetics would be inappropriate, and she wouldn't use them anyway.

Let alone the eldest grandson, even Li Qin himself wouldn't know how.

Perfume is even worse; its pungent scent could potentially trigger respiratory illnesses.

Li Qin even jokingly thought that the inner palace must be boring sometimes, so why not send her some novels to pass the time?

Especially time-travel novels, especially those set in the Tang Dynasty.

I wonder what the eldest grandson will think when he sees countless time travelers taking pride in marrying her daughter.

"Let's send health," Li Qin thought helplessly at the end.

Print out a complete menu for all patients with qi stagnation, along with any precautions, directly from the internet.

Giving this to the eldest grandson would be very appropriate.

Li Qin even considered sending some human infant sacs to Changsun so she could give them to Li Shimin.

Don't have another child, otherwise your body might not be able to handle it.

But upon further reflection, I realized that while I could offer a reminder, I shouldn't interfere.

With the plan set, all that's left is to start preparing after Li Lizhi returns.

You shouldn't buy potatoes from the supermarket, because many of them can't sprout.

I have to make a special trip to the farmers' market to ask for clarification before I buy anything.

On the other side, Li Lizhi, after being sent back to the Tang Dynasty, lifted her skirt and ran towards the Lizheng Hall.

After finding Changsun and explaining Li Qin's problem, Changsun pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"This is simple. Just have Li Qin prepare extra of each type of food so that we can share it together. There's no need to prepare extra portions."

"Tonight it's just your father, me, and the three of you girls. Let him handle it."

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and understood what her grandson meant. She chuckled and said, "What Mother means is that after a dish is prepared, it should be divided into individual plates?"

“That’s right. Also, tell Li Qin that the Qin King’s Battle Music will be played here tonight, and your father has agreed to his request.”

"Yes, daughter remembers. Does Mother have any other instructions?"

"That's all. You can come earlier. I'd like to have a chat with Li Qin before the banquet starts."

"Okay, I'll pass on the message to the young master later. If there's nothing else, I'll go wait for Sizi here."

"Well, go ahead."

More than half an hour later, Si Zi returned on time to pick up his older sister, and then they returned to the modern world.

Upon meeting Li Qin, Li Lizhi told him about the method used by the eldest grandson.

"Okay, I see."

"Well, young master, your mother hopes you can go there soon. She wants to talk to you before the banquet."

Li Lizhi nervously raised her request for a grandson.

Li Qin thought about it and figured there should be enough time.

So he nodded and said, "No problem. Let's go have lunch now. After lunch, I'll make some preparations and then we'll go to the Tang Dynasty."

He was also eager to see what this wise and virtuous empress of all time looked like.

So the group set off and found a restaurant with a decent ambiance for their meal.

After finishing their meal, Li Qin went to the farmers' market and came out carrying a full bag of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

Afterwards, I returned home and printed out the documents.

After checking the time, it was 3 p.m., so he suggested that he go to the Tang Dynasty first and meet with Changsun.

As for dinner, let's come back and order some more when it's almost time.

"Mingda, Chengyang, Lizhi, let's set off for the Tang Dynasty!"
