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

She really is a little foodie; she forgets her second sister as soon as she gets some delicious food.

Li Qin didn't even know how to complain anymore.

But that's precisely why he liked this simple, silly girl even more.

"Would Mingda like to bring his second sister to play?"

Instead of giving a direct answer, they wanted to ask Sizi's own wishes first.

"Oh, I miss my second sister. She's so good to me. She plays with me, tells me stories, and even teaches me how to write."

Li Qin nodded with a smile, then picked up his phone and did a quick search.

The second sister mentioned by Si Zi should be Princess Chengyang, the second daughter of Empress Zhangsun.

"Since Mingda wants it, then we'll do as you say. Go and bring your second sister over. She probably hasn't eaten yet, right? Bring her over quickly so we can eat together."

"Mmm, mmm~ I'll be back soon~"

Wiggling its little bottom, Si Zi got out of Li Qin's arms and disappeared in a flash.

Meanwhile, Princess Chengyang, who had been waiting for a while, saw her younger sister reappear and quickly went up to hug her.

"Sizi, where did you go? Do you know how scared I was just now?"

The worry and fear on his face were still there. He held his younger sister and checked her over thoroughly. Only after confirming that she was alright did he feel relieved.

"Hehe, second sister, I've finished talking with Xiao Nangjun, you can come over too. Let's go, Xiao Nangjun has been waiting for us for a long time."

Sizi responded to her second sister's concern with a smile and reached out her hand, ready to pull Princess Chengyang through time.

Princess Chengyang was startled by this sudden action.

She quickly took two steps back and said, "No, no, even if we want to go, we have to inform Mother first and get her permission before we can go. Otherwise, Mother will worry if she can't find us."

Compared to Si Zi's carefree nature, Princess Chengyang seemed much more sensible.

She knew the rules of the palace well; if she wanted to leave the palace for sightseeing, she first had to get the Empress's permission.

Sizi then remembered this matter. Li Qin had asked her earlier if she had told her mother not to worry her.

"Okay, okay~ Second sister, let's go find Mother together first~"

"Yes, that's right."

Seeing that Si Zi agreed, Princess Chengyang stepped forward, took her younger sister's hand, and walked outside.

As he reached the palace gate, he glanced back inside and suddenly said:

"Lan Yu will accompany me. Everyone else will stay inside the hall and await your instructions. What happened before must not be told to anyone."

Although she is only 5 years old, Chengyang already has the demeanor of a princess.

Knowing some of the palace rules, she remembered to lock all those who had just discovered the secret of the rhinoceros inside the palace before leaving.

"Here~"

They were all palace servants, so of course they knew what to say and what not to say.

They also learned that they had seen things they shouldn't have known, and all that awaited them was the Emperor and Empress's punishment.

Fortunately, although the current ruler is bloodthirsty, he is still relatively tolerant of those in the palace. The Empress is a virtuous and gentle empress who would not kill even those who wanted to keep secrets.

It's highly likely they'll be moved to a different location, or they'll continue serving Princess Chengyang, but their movements will be restricted.

So when Chengyang issued the order, the people were not too worried and obediently stayed where they were.

The two sisters skipped and hopped all the way back to the Sizi Palace, where they encountered Qingzhu, who had returned.

Qingzhu went to Chengyang's bedchamber with the Empress's decree. As for how to deal with those people, Qingzhu didn't say, and Chengyang didn't ask.

Most importantly, Chengyang was listening to Sizi talk about braised pork.

"Second sister, the braised pork is so delicious~ It's so soft, so juicy, and so sweet~ Slurp~~ Let's hurry up and finish talking to Mother, Little Nangjun is still waiting for us."

"Hmm, what else is there besides braised pork?" Chengyang felt there must be more than one dish, and other delicacies were waiting for him.

"And the loofah, it's sweet too~ Smooth and soft, slurp it up~"

"Slurp~" Listening to Sizi's story, Chengyang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

All the dishes are sweet; who could resist?

Without realizing it, the two sisters quickened their pace considerably.

Even Lan Yu, who was following beside him, couldn't help but swallow hard.

What kind of deity did the little princess encounter? Not only did the deity possess extraordinary abilities, but the princess was also able to eat celestial dishes.

Soon, the three arrived at the Sizi's bedroom.

Li Shimin had already left, leaving only Changsun and Li Lizhi waiting for Sizi.

"Mother~ Sister~"

"Mother~ Sister~"

The two children bowed to Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi.

"Oh, Chengyang's here. How's the food Sizi brought you? Have you tried it?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled as she looked at Chengyang, thinking that she was a girl who was easy to take care of.

"My daughter has tried them all, and they are all rare delicacies. Although they are candies, they all have different flavors."

"Yes, Sizi is close to you. You sisters must get along well." Changsun nodded in satisfaction.

"Mother, I have come to ask you for a favor," Chengyang said weakly.

The eldest grandson was somewhat taken aback. When did his daughter become so timid? And why did she speak so weakly?

“Say what grace you have received.”

Chengyang glanced at Sizi, who smiled sweetly and jumped out to speak on behalf of her second sister:

"Mother, my second sister wants to go play with me at Xiao Nang Jun's place. I asked Xiao Nang Jun, and he agreed. My second sister says she can only go out to play if Mother agrees."

Empress Zhangsun: “???”

What? In just a short while, this little girl went to find that little pouch-maker again?

They even want to bring Chengyang along, and they've already agreed?

Seeing Empress Zhangsun in a daze, Sizi pouted and acted coquettishly, shaking Empress Zhangsun's arm and saying:

"Mommy~ please say yes~ Little Nangjun made braised pork and loofah, he's waiting for us to go eat lunch. If we're late, Little Nangjun will have finished eating everything~"

Good heavens, braised pork? What kind of meat is this?

What is a loofah?

Before the eldest grandson could answer, Li Lizhi suddenly stood up and asked Si Zi with a smile:

"If you can go to Chengyang, can you go too, sister? Sister also wants to eat braised pork and loofah. Could you ask the young master about it?"

"Ah? Sister, you want to go too?" Si Zi looked at Li Lizhi with some difficulty.

"What? Can't you go, sister?" Li Lizhi pretended to be unhappy.

"No, no, then I'll go ask Little Nangjun." Si Zi waved his hands repeatedly.

It wasn't that she didn't want her older sister to go, but there was only so much braised pork, and if her older sister went, there might not be enough to eat.

“Well, then you go and ask the young master first. If he agrees, I will go with you. Mother will also agree.” Li Lizhi looked at Sizi with a smile.

Changsun nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, if you bring your elder sister along, I'll agree to let you go."

"Alright, then you guys wait for my fat man to come."

Sizi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then decided that making another trip wouldn't be a problem.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Changsun, Li Lizhi, and Chengyang, she ran to a corner of the bedchamber, turning her back to everyone.

It vanished in a flash.
