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

Chapter 5 Little Nangju is too stupid

Half an hour later, Wu She led an official dressed in a light scarlet robe, with a focused and serious expression, into the main hall.

"Your subject Li Chunfeng greets Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng's arrival instantly broke the heavy atmosphere in the hall.

"My dear minister, please don't stand on ceremony. I believe Wu She has already explained the situation to you, so I won't go into details. In your opinion, can you see the clues behind this?" Li Shimin rushed forward to help him.

Li Chunfeng was flattered and surprised, never expecting that Li Shimin, who was always decisive and calm, would show such an expression.

"Your Majesty, I began to calculate on my way to the palace. First of all, the palace is the residence of the emperor and is protected by the fortune of the Tang Dynasty. How dare demons and evil spirits rebel against it!" Li Chunfeng paused here.

Li Shimin agreed with this viewpoint, and nodded slightly upon hearing it: "If there are no evil spirits at play, why did my steed disappear without a trace?"

Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment: "Although I do not know why Prince Jinyang disappeared without a trace, according to my calculations, the young prince should be alright at the moment. Perhaps in the near future, he will bring a tremendous opportunity to our Great Tang!"

The certainty in his words greatly eased Li Shimin's worries.

"Very well! I hope it is as you say, my dear minister. As for the opportunity or anything like that, I don't care. I only hope that my little Sizi can return safely." As if afraid that others would see something, Li Shimin turned around after he finished speaking.

"Father, since Grand Historian Li has already said so, you don't need to worry. Princess Chang Le also believes that the little ox is a lucky person and will definitely return safely!" Upon seeing this, Princess Chang Le immediately stepped forward and took Li Shimin's arm to comfort him.

Li Shimin managed to force an awkward smile. Looking at his eldest daughter, who was so sensible and considerate, he felt a sense of comfort. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Daughters are indeed the best! None of my sons are easy to deal with."

Li Chunfeng and Wushe were both quite perceptive; seeing the situation, they said nothing more and silently withdrew from the main hall.

Sensing that her father's emotions had completely stabilized, Princess Changle quietly looked up at Li Shimin.

"Father, let the guards and maids of Hanfeng Palace stay outside the palace for the time being. If Xiao Sizi comes back and can't find her maid, she will be sad."

Li Shimin stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "If Xiao Sizi returns safely, this matter will not be pursued. But if Xiao Sizi doesn't return... hmph!"

Princess Chang Le nodded. This was the best outcome she could achieve at the moment. Although she knew that her father was not a murderous emperor, the saying "When a monarch is angry, millions will die" was no exaggeration.

"Your Majesty, it is almost dawn. I wonder what the morning court session will be like today?" A voice without a tongue rang out from outside the palace.

"Just say that I am not feeling well today, and the morning court session is canceled. Unless there is an urgent or important matter, do not disturb me. As for other matters, Wuji and Xuanling, you may handle them as appropriate."

Li Shimin was filled with worry and had no mind to think about the morning court. Moreover, with several important ministers in the court to support him, there would be no trouble for the time being.

"Father, your health is of utmost importance. You didn't rest yesterday either. Why don't you take a nap on this bed? Chang Le will inform you of any news about Si Zi in a timely manner."

Princess Chang Le looked at her father with worry, her eyes already bloodshot.

"Alright! I understand, Lizhi, don't worry. You should go back to the palace to rest. I'll stay here for a while!"

Meanwhile, on Lin Fan's sofa, two people stared at each other, and he had to admire how strong children's curiosity really was.

In just a short while, he had explained everything that the little ox could see. As for whether the little ox understood or not, only the baby knew.

"By the way, Sizi, do you know how you got to my house?" Finally, the topic got back on track.

"I don't know!"

Little Sizi stared blankly at Lin Fan with her big, innocent eyes. Her simple little brain probably hadn't even thought about whether she could go home yet, because there were too many things in this room that she had never seen before. Before her curiosity was satisfied, she probably wouldn't remember her father and mother.

Lin Fan remembered the jade pendant from before and quickly took it from the coffee table.

"Hey, look at this! Does this look familiar?"

"Hey, wasn't that what Ah Liang sent? Why does Xiao Nang Ju have it too?"

Xiao Sizi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, then at the one in Lin Fan's hand, her eyes full of doubt.

"When was this jade pendant given to Sizi? Do you remember?"

"It's just for fun! Oh my god."

Upon hearing Xiao Sizi's answer, Lin Fan suddenly understood. The timing made sense. He had just taken out the jade pendant last night, so it was probably around the same time that Xiao Sizi got it.

However, he hadn't yet figured out the connection between these things, or the conditions required to trigger the time travel function. Thinking about this, he didn't dare to try it casually. What if he accidentally traveled to another place or dynasty without understanding the situation? He wouldn't know what would happen then.

Seeing Lin Fan start to space out again, Xiao Sizi couldn't sit still any longer.

"Little rascal! I want to go out and live a normal life!"

"Huh? Leaving the palace? We're at home now, not in the palace!" Lin Fan didn't react for a moment.

"Oh dear, it's a public service, not a palace visit!" The little princess's face was flushed red, unable to understand why the little servant in front of her was so stupid.

"This... leaving the palace isn't leaving the palace? What do you mean?" Lin Fan looked at the little princess's awkward expression.

The little princess was so anxious she was almost in tears: "It's a male servant! A male servant! I can't hold it in any longer!"

"Leaving the palace? Going to the toilet? Does she need to use the restroom?" Lin Fan roughly understood what he meant, picked up the little princess, and ran towards the toilet.

Lin Fan rushed to the toilet, but after looking at the toilet bowl and then at the little princess whose face was flushed red from holding it in, he had never taken care of a child before and didn't know what to do.

"What about turning into a bucket?" the little princess asked anxiously.

"A chamber pot? There's no chamber pot, only a toilet!"

Lin Fan put the little princess down, but she was too short to reach the toilet.

Seeing the little princess anxiously spinning around in circles, Lin Fan had no choice but to pick her up again and place her steadily on the toilet.

"What's wrong with me crying?" the little princess exclaimed.

"Oh, oh." Lin Fan then became flustered and disorganized.

After a while, Lin Fan carried the little princess back to the living room. In his twenty years of life, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

As soon as she sat down on the sofa, the little princess couldn't help but start complaining.

"Little Nangju is so stupid! I almost cried!"

Seeing the little baby in front of him angrily scolding him, Lin Fan, a grown man, awkwardly scratched his head.

"I'm so sorry, little Sisi! I've never taken care of children before!"

"Alright, alright, then this sheep will stay here in its cozy little nest!"

Seeing the little princess's serious expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but pinch her chubby little cheeks.

"By the way, Little Sizi, don't call me 'Young Master' anymore. Just call me 'Brother' or 'Brother Lin Fan'!"

"Why? Why don't you stay here with your brother?" The little princess tilted her head, looking curious.

"That's what we call it here!"

"Okay then, brother!" The little princess nodded, and her adorable appearance, coupled with her sweet "brother," melted Lin Fan's heart!

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the little princess's stomach.

"Baby! Dudu is hungry!" Sure enough, all little kids are the same; they get hungry right after having diarrhea.

After chatting for so long, Lin Fan hadn't thought of this at all.

"Then you sit here obediently and wait for me, okay? I'll go see if there's anything to eat for you!"

"Good! Good!"

Lin Fan got up and went to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and looked around. Then he remembered that he had just come back and there seemed to be nothing else to eat in the house except for two buckets of instant noodles.

Seeing Lin Fan return empty-handed, the little princess looked somewhat disappointed.

"I'm sorry, little Sizi, I just got back today. There wasn't much food prepared at home, only instant noodles left. Let's make do with this for now, and I'll take you out to buy some good food when it gets light, okay?" Seeing the little girl's disappointed eyes, Lin Fan felt a pang of heartache.

"Okay, okay, what's going out to buy noodles?" The little princess immediately cheered when she heard that it was dawn and she was going out to buy delicious food.

"You'll find out soon enough!" Lin Fan didn't explain too much, because this little cutie had too many reasons to explain.
