The food here is very different from that in the ancient city.
It is obvious that Li Shimin's family prefers mutton soup with steamed buns, oil tea and fried dough twists.
Judging from the little princess's reaction, these foods are more suitable for Datang babies.
Princess Chengyang saw that there was oil on the little princess's face, so she picked up a tissue and gently wiped it off.
This scene is very loving.
The little princess didn't seem to notice and continued to eat very seriously.
Very focused.
The little girl seems to be loved by her brothers and sisters all the time.
"Xiao Ran, take Sizi and the others out to play. We have to go back. This place is nice. We'll come back again in the future."
Li Shimin wanted to bring Empress Changsun to Xi'an often in the future.
Compared to the ancient city, I definitely like this one.
"Uncle, don't worry, there is another good place. I will take you and aunt to see it."
"Where?"
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Uncle won't regret going here. It's a good place."
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
The two little princesses pulled Xiao Ran and prepared to set off.
Princess Yuzhang took out her phone and prepared to hail a taxi. "Brother, where are we going?"
"Luohan Cave Village!"
Li Shimin, Li Lizhi and others were actually very curious, but they never asked.
This place is not far from Xi'an and we will get there soon.
Compared with Xi'an, this place is a bit remote.
Here Xiao Ran even saw sugarcane.
The climate here should be good.
"My dear, isn't sugarcane only found in the south? Why is there one here too?" Li Lizhi also knew this.
"This means that the climate, soil and temperature nearby are all good, suitable for sugarcane..." Xiao Ran didn't know this before.
"Ancient Guanyin Temple!" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
Li Shimin did not believe in Buddhism and was actually not interested in these things.
"It's quiet here. It would be a good choice to stay here for a few days when I have time in the future." Li Shimin felt that the environment here was good.
Xiao Ran could only say that Li Shimin was becoming more and more adept at enjoying life.
"It's really nice here, and I like this feeling too." Princess Yuzhang looked around.
"Little Nang-kun~ What's the good thing about this~"
The little princess is still the cute little foodie she used to be, without any change at all.
"There should be." Xiao Ran accidentally saw an old man selling things on the street.
Many of them were wild vegetables and herbs. The other things the little princess wasn't interested in. Xiao Ran picked up a handful of strange things and asked, "Grandpa, how much is this?"
"Three pieces!" The old man stretched out three fingers.
Xiao Ran was a little uncomfortable with such an affordable price.
For other scenic spots, the minimum fee is fifteen yuan, and the lowest is ten yuan, no less.
"What is this~" The little princess stared at the thing in Xiao Ran's hand.
"This is a jujube, very sweet. Don't eat the seeds, eat the flesh instead." Xiao Ran fed the little princess some.
"Wow~ so sweet~"
Princess Gaoyang also tasted a little and bought all the jujubes on the old man's stall.
Several princesses each held one, and Xiao Ran held several.
Li Shimin smiled helplessly. Although the princesses didn't know him, Li Shimin did.
The jujube is called Hovenia dulcis in China. It is a tree species that combines the functions of food, medicine, material and ornamental. Its fruit is shaped like the swastika "卍", and is also called the longevity fruit.
The recorded time is more than two thousand years.
Li Shimin handed some to Empress Changsun.
"Brother, what's so special here?" Princess Yuzhang still had no idea what Xiao Ran was up to.
The little princess was in Xiao Ran's arms, eating jujubes seriously, and didn't care about anything else.
"Go over there." Xiao Ran didn't say anything and continued to move forward with a few people.
Enter through a small gate and climb to a high place. There is a huge ginkgo tree in the middle of the fence.
The ginkgo tree stands tall and majestic, with a twisted trunk and lush greenery. Its huge crown stands majestically on the wall, like a giant umbrella, shimmering with golden light and extremely spectacular.
Its crown is like a canopy, with lush and dense branches and leaves spreading out in all directions.
The main trunk, main branches and side branches are crisscrossed, densely packed, layered, of different lengths and mottled.
In spring and summer, it is vigorous and green, and its fan-shaped leaves are full of vitality. In late autumn or early winter, the tree is full of golden color, which is dazzling.
This ginkgo tree is not only a beautiful natural landscape, but also a witness to history, bearing the vicissitudes of time and changes. Its existence adds an ancient, mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the Ancient Guanyin Zen Temple.
"This tree is so big!" Princess Chengyang spread her arms to gesture.
"Brother, look at this tree?" Princess Yuzhang pointed.
It's free here and not crowded.
It's still early and no one else is even coming.
"Well, this ginkgo tree is more than 1,400 years old." Xiao Ran saw it for the first time and was shocked. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture.
"More than 1,400 years..." Li Lizhi felt that this number was somewhat familiar, and suddenly realized, "Doesn't this mean that this was planted during the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Lizhi was the first to realize that the Zhenguan period was more than 1,400 years away from the 21st century.
After hearing what Li Lizhi said, Li Shimin and others also reacted.
"Xiao Ran, what's the special thing about this?" Li Shimin became even more curious because it was from the Tang Dynasty.
"Uncle, you planted this yourself more than a thousand years ago, praying for your aunt."
Li Shimin did not believe in Buddhism, but he built more than 400 temples to pray for Empress Changsun, and this was one of them.
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, the expressions of Li Lizhi, Empress Zhangsun and others suddenly changed.
"Wow!" Princess Yuzhang was a little moved.
Li Shimin was also filled with emotion and mixed feelings.
Empress Changsun was deeply moved.
Empress Changsun was well aware of Li Shimin's intention in planting this tree. Seeing it grow vigorously and flourish, she also felt Li Shimin's deep affection for her, which seemed to continue to this day in another way.
Li Shimin held Empress Changsun's hand tightly, not knowing what to say.
After all, Li Shimin also knew that Empress Changsun had left him early.
This is something that Li Shimin will always feel unhappy about.
"Your Majesty, I am content."
Not only Empress Changsun, but also Xiao Ran and several princesses felt this favor.
A thousand years passed in a moment, but their love remained there forever.
Li Shimin gently hugged Empress Changsun, while Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were fed a mouthful of dog food.
Li Lizhi was very envious of this relationship, and so was Princess Yuzhang.
The little princess had no idea what was happening and was still eating the jujubes with relish.
This is not just a tree, it feels more like a testimony of love. Love seems to be embodied here.
Empress Zhangsun gently pushed Li Shimin away and said, "The children are here!"
Li Shimin smiled and took out his cell phone to take a few photos.
This place has special commemorative significance for Empress Zhangsun of Li Shimin.
"Grandpa, Mom, please stand in front and I will take a picture of you." Princess Yuzhang picked up her mobile phone.
