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

The sixth year of the Zhenguan era.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, Lizheng Hall.

"Hehe, you're not allowed to peek, I'm going to hide."

A toddler, just over two years old, was happily calling out to the surroundings, his short legs clattering joyfully as he ran around.

The eunuchs and maids around them covered their mouths and turned away, their eyes full of smiles as they avoided peeking.

The reason for the conversation was that the little girl was Princess Li Mingda, the most beloved youngest daughter of Emperor Li Shimin and Empress of the Tang Dynasty, whose nickname was Xiao Sizi.

At this moment, Little Sizi is playing hide-and-seek with her elder sister, Princess Chang Le, and her mother, Empress Zhangsun.

In order to hide as quickly as possible, she could only run fast with her short legs.

In a moment of carelessness, with a "plop," Little Sizi suddenly fell to the ground.

"Woooooo~~"

The little princess's cries rang out instantly, startling everyone, who quickly turned to look.

The princess, who looked like a porcelain doll, was sitting on the ground, pouting and crying, and her soft, chubby little hands were covered in crimson.

Blood flowed down his wrist, staining the copper coin that was strung on a red string.

"What happened? Why is Sizi crying?"

Hearing the commotion, Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle hurried over, and the surrounding eunuchs and maids immediately knelt down.

As Princess Jinyang's personal maid, Qingzhu's face turned deathly pale.

"Your Majesty, the young prince just told us to turn around and not peek, and then he fell to the ground shortly afterward. I deserve to die!"

Of all those present, if one were to say who bore the greatest responsibility, it would undoubtedly be her.

Taking care of the princess is her greatest responsibility. Now that the little princess has fallen and even bled, even if the empress had her beaten to death on the spot, she wouldn't be able to find any fault with it.

"Waaaaah~~ Mother~~ Sister~~"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

As the one who suffered the most, Xiao Sizi sat on the ground with tears streaming down her face, raising her palms and looking pitifully at Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi.

Empress Zhangsun, feeling distressed, quickly stepped forward and picked up her youngest daughter. With a helpless sigh, she ordered, "Go and summon the imperial physician immediately."

"Sizi, let me blow on it for you, it won't hurt anymore." Li Lizhi looked at the little princess's hand with equal heartache.

On the hypothenar eminence of the rhinoceros's palm, a small patch of skin had been worn away, and blood was oozing from there.

As Li Lizhi blew on it, the little princess gradually stopped crying and nestled in Empress Zhangsun's arms, secretly watching her elder sister gently holding her little hands.

Whether it was psychological or actually effective, Sizi felt less pain than before.

"Sister, please urge me a little more, my pain seems to have subsided."

Seeing the younger sister reach out to her mouth, Li Lizhi chuckled and hummed in agreement, then blew on her lips a few more times.

"Wow~ it really doesn't hurt anymore! It only hurts a little bit. Sister is amazing!"

The little princess, who had just been looking pitiful and wronged, suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Li Lizhi in disbelief.

Empress Zhangsun, who had initially felt sorry for her beloved daughter, couldn't help but roll her eyes upon seeing this.

She scolded the little one in her arms with a hint of annoyance, "Doesn't it hurt anymore? Who was crying just now? The tears haven't even dried yet."

Upon hearing this, Sizi quickly wiped his eyes and cheeks with his chubby arms, tilted his head, and looked up at his mother.

"I don't know how~"

"Pfft~"

Seeing her feign ignorance, Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi couldn't help but burst out laughing. This girl is too good at pretending.

"Hehe~"

The laughter of her mother and sister directly affected Sizi, who also started laughing foolishly along with them.

She twisted her little body, trying to break free from her mother's embrace.

"Mommy put the nest down, the nest still wants to play and catch rice to taste~"

"Nonsense! We'll talk after the imperial physician examines your hand. Don't run around now, stay put!" Empress Zhangsun's face hardened. This little girl really doesn't learn her lesson; she's forgotten the pain before the scars have even healed.

"No, Mommy, please! I'll just play for a little while...mua...Mommy, Mommy's the best! Mua~mua~~"

After a few kisses and a bit of coaxing, the little princess was put down and, grinning, gave instructions to the eunuchs and maids around her:

"You're not allowed to peek! I'm going to try it!"

This time, no one dared to obey her orders, especially Qingzhu, who kept her eyes glued to the little princess even when she turned her head away.

……

Li Qin, a veteran second-generation fisherman, received a large sum of compensation from the insurance company after his parents returned to the embrace of Mazu (the goddess of the sea) during a sea voyage.

Later, due to the demolition of the village, he began a completely laid-back life.

I spend my days at home reading novels, playing games, and making some of my favorite foods.

"On a hot summer day, a bowl of chilled fruit salad while enjoying the beautiful sea view—that's what true enjoyment is all about!"

"Smack!" A slap killed the mosquito that kept circling around and sucking blood on the red string of copper coins on my wrist.

"Hey! That feels good! Let you suck my blood!"

I lay comfortably on a deck chair on the balcony, enjoying the comfort of the air conditioning, with freshly baked fruit in my arms.

Li Qin squinted at the vast blue sea in the distance, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort.

At that moment, he completely forgot about the frustration he felt from the failed blind date his aunt had arranged for him the day before.

What kind of demons and monsters are they? They're ugly, yet they dream so beautifully.

On their first meeting, he checked her household registration and laid out conditions and facts, demanding an 80 yuan dowry, a house in her name, and even asking her parents to live with them.

I'm an old-school reader who's read countless novels about sons-in-law and rebirth.

I know I don't have the ability to show off and embarrass myself, so I can't afford to mess with them!

"Gudong~~"

Just as Li Qin was enjoying the sweet and fragrant aroma that filled his mouth, a slight noise suddenly came from beside him.

Turning around in surprise, I saw an adorable little girl who had appeared in the house sometime during the night.

Chubby cheeks, round, dark eyes, and two little tufts of hair on top of her head.

Wearing a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), she looked both retro and adorable.

Right now, she's biting her right index finger, looking at the fruit salad in her hand with a cute and focused gaze.

The sound just now was caused by the baby swallowing saliva.

In just a short while, saliva started flowing down his fingers and the corners of his mouth.

When the little boy saw Li Qin looking at him, he pursed his lips tightly and, with great willpower, shifted his gaze to him.

"Little Nangjun, where are you? Are you alright?"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze shifted back to the fruit salad.

Li Qin looked at the suddenly appearing little girl with a blank expression and handed her the porcelain bowl.

"Fruit salad, would you like some?"

The little baby nodded repeatedly and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

"Okay, I only have a little bit~~ Thank you, Little Nang~~"
