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

Chapter 33 Everyone Wants to Try

Chapter 33 Everyone wants to try

Xiao Sizi's finger was only about a centimeter away from the durian, but she managed to stop it amidst the gasps of the three people.

"What's wrong?" Little Sizi looked at the group innocently, her little head a little confused as to why she wasn't allowed to eat anything delicious.

"Chengyang, bring the little rhinoceros over quickly! You can't eat that thing!" Li Shimin said anxiously, afraid that the little rhinoceros would be tempted to take a bite.

"How can this be inedible? Lin Fan clearly said it was safe to eat when he bought it!" The young man was a little confused, but he still obediently followed Chengyang over!

Empress Zhangsun, however, was now more rational. She came to Li Shimin's side and whispered, "Second Prince, the things that expert bought for Sizi shouldn't be problematic, right? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"This..." Li Shimin was also somewhat conflicted upon hearing this. Of course, he hoped there was no problem, since the little ox's fate might still require that person to resolve it!

Since he couldn't figure it out, he still had to ask clearly. With that thought, Li Shimin turned to look at Xiao Sizi and Chengyang.

"Tell Father, judging from your reactions, you didn't smell anything unpleasant just now?"

Xiao Sizi and Chengyang were a little confused by the question. It smelled really good, so why did their father find it unpleasant?

Seeing that the two shook their heads at the same time, Li Shimin's doubts deepened. Could it be that everyone smells a different scent?

To confirm his suspicions, Li Shimin immediately ordered ten personal guards to be summoned from outside. These ten men were absolutely loyal to him and would never lie.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, and Your Highnesses!" The ten people bowed and paid their respects as soon as they arrived.

Clearing his throat, Li Shimin slowly began, "I have summoned you all here today to verify something!"

"For Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, we would die a hundred times without regret!" Looking at the imposing aura of these ten men, Li Shimin nodded secretly.

"Rest assured, you are all warriors of our Great Tang Dynasty. Today's events will not harm your lives! Go!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the ten people, led by Wu She, came to the table. There was a strange object on it. Some of them frowned repeatedly, while others were unusually calm. They had no idea why Li Shimin had asked them to gather around the table.

After a dozen or so breaths, Li Shimin patted his finger and pointed to the durian on the table, saying, "Those who thought it smelled strange, stand on the left; those who thought it smelled sweet, stand on the right!"

As Li Shimin finished speaking, the ten people quickly split into two camps, six on the left and four on the right.

"Just as I thought! You may all leave now!" Li Shimin immediately understood the crux of the problem and waved to the ten men.

"Erlang, have you noticed the problem?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Indeed, if I'm not mistaken, the smell of that thing varies from person to person. That's why Sizi and Chengyang find it fragrant, while we find it unpleasant!"

When he bought durian, he actually told Xiao Sizi that some people like it and some people don't, but Xiao Sizi didn't remember that at all; she only knew that it was edible!

"So that's how it is!" Empress Zhangsun suddenly realized.

"Father, is it okay now?" Little Sizi hugged Li Shimin's leg and shook it for a while, while his eyes were fixed on the durian not far away and he swallowed his saliva.

"this...."

Li Shimin was hesitant for a moment, unsure whether he should agree to Xiao Sizi's request.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let this old servant give it a try?" Wu She suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Wu She, you are also an old servant who has followed me for many years. It's not that I don't trust you, but if something unexpected happens..."

'

As if sensing Li Shimin's worries, Wu She was deeply moved.

"It is my duty to share Your Majesty's burdens, and since this item was brought back by Your Highness, I believe there shouldn't be any problems!"

He turned to look at Xiao Sizi and continued, "Moreover, this old servant, like the two young princes, finds this thing to be truly sweet!"

Seeing that Wu She had already spoken, Li Shimin had no choice but to nod: "Alright, since that's the case, then go forward and give it a try!"

Wu She bent over and approached the table. At such close range, the durian smelled even stronger than before. He picked up a knife and carefully cut a piece of the fruit. To his surprise, the fruit was incredibly soft.

Li Shimin and the others had been observing Wu She's expression. They saw him pick up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth without hesitation. However, instead of showing any discomfort, he looked like he was enjoying it!

Wu She felt a sudden light in her eyes, and without having time to savor it, she turned around and came to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, this fruit is not only sweet and delicious, but its flesh is also incredibly soft, practically melting in your mouth, leaving a lingering and unforgettable aftertaste!"

Seeing that Wu She's behavior didn't seem like he was lying, and besides, he didn't have the guts, Li Shimin felt a little relieved and mustered up his courage to take a few steps forward to observe more closely.

"Dad, I miss you too!"

Seeing that Wu She had already tasted it first, Xiao Si Zi could no longer suppress her curiosity and quickly ran to Li Shimin's side to act coquettishly.

"In that case, Wu She, please distribute this item to the two princes!"

Li Shimin couldn't stand the smell of durian, so he covered his nose and backed away.

"Yay!" Xiao Sizi exclaimed, turned around, grabbed Cheng Yang's hand, and returned to the table. Then she looked expectantly at Wu She as he helped her portion out the durians.

Empress Zhangsun and Chang Le stood at a distance with worried expressions; they too were finding the smell of durian unbearable.

"Erlang, are you really going to let my brother and his sister eat that stuff?"

"Since Wu She tasted it and had no problem, then it should be fine. Guanyinbi, there's no need to worry."

In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to try it, but the taste made him feel uncomfortable and he couldn't get over that mental hurdle.

"Wow, this fruit is so sweet and soft, it's delicious!" The young man had only taken one bite when a gasp came from afar, drawing the attention of Li Shimin and the others.

"Hehe, Fifth Sister, how is it? Isn't it good?" Xiao Sizi looked at Chengyang beside her, and then immediately lowered her head and started eating again.

"Mmm, I think this tastes even better than the watermelon we had before!"

"Father, Mother, Sister, this is really delicious! Come on over!" Little Sizi turned around and waved to the group amidst her busy schedule.

However, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun hesitated when faced with Xiao Zhouzi's invitation. Chang Le, watching the two of them enjoying their meal, was also tempted.

"Ah, I...I want to try it too."

Ultimately, amidst the exclamations of Xiao Sizi and Chengyang, Chang Le could not resist the temptation.

Seeing this, Li Shimin, with a complicated expression, did not stop them and could only nod.

When Chang Le saw Li Shimin nod in agreement, she immediately covered her nose and ran towards the two little ones.

Before long, looking at the small piece of durian she had just taken out of her hand, she was still hesitant to take a bite. However, with the constant encouragement from Xiao Sizi and Chengyang, Chang Le gritted her teeth and stuffed the durian into her mouth!

She had expected some strange taste, but to her surprise, the durian tasted incredibly delicious. The contrast was so striking that she couldn't find the right words to describe it!
