Chapter 24 Little Rhinoceros's Teaching Bureau
"Sister, why aren't you drinking anymore? Don't you like rice?" Little Si asked curiously when Princess Chang Le stopped after taking a few sips.
Upon hearing this, Princess Chang Le quickly shook her head and patted Xiao Sizi's head: "Sister likes it very much, but sister wants to save some for Mother!"
Princess Chang Le was beautiful and kind-hearted, and she always thought about her mother.
Little Sizi suddenly realized: "Hehe, no problem, there's more after you finish drinking it!" After saying that, she pointed to the stroller next to her.
Lin Fan had taken this into account when he bought things; apart from fruits that don't keep well, he bought snacks in bulk.
Princess Chang Le was relieved upon hearing this and lowered her head to drink.
Wu She overheard their conversation and, besides admiring the two princesses' filial piety, carefully observed Li Shimin's reaction. Suddenly, he noticed that Li Shimin's expression, which had been expressionless, had changed, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Heavens, what is this stuff? It tastes so sweet!" Li Shimin thought to himself, his expression exactly the same as Princess Chang Le's at the beginning.
"Your Majesty...do you need anything?" Wu She immediately bowed and came to Li Shimin's side to ask.
Hmm, Li Shimin, with his keen mind, immediately understood Wu She's meaning, and waved his hand: "It's alright, I was just somewhat impressed. This thing is indeed as Chang Le said, delicious!"
"Hmph! If Father doesn't believe me, and doesn't believe my brother, then I won't be friends with Father anymore!" Little Sizi was also quite mischievous. Thinking of Li Shimin's previous skeptical attitude, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Sizi and hugged her tightly: "Oh, my good Sizi, don't be angry with your father. I was just worried. I apologize to you now, please forgive me, okay!"
"Hmph!" Little Sizi pouted and turned her head away from Li Shimin, leaving the usually calm and magnanimous Li Shimin momentarily at a loss.
At this moment, Li Shimin remembered Princess Chang Le and immediately cast a pleading look at her.
Princess Chang Le initially wanted to shrug and say, "I can't help you either," but then she thought that this was, after all, her father, so she raised an eyebrow and squatted down next to Xiao Si Zi.
"Sister, be good. Father didn't mean to doubt you. He was just too worried about your safety. You're the most sensible one in our family, you'll understand, right?"
Little Sizi was only three years old. Princess Chang Le was putting such high praise on her, which she could not possibly bear. Her dissatisfaction gradually faded.
"Hmph! Then Father won't believe me anymore!" Little Sizi huffed, her tone less forceful than before.
Seeing this, Li Shimin gave Princess Chang Le a look that served as a thank you for her help, and then immediately hugged Xiao Sizi, saying, "Good, good! Father won't do that again!"
Little Sizi's "that's more like it" expression instantly amused Li Shimin and Princess Changle.
"Since Sizi isn't angry anymore, can you give Father a kiss? Father has been so worried about Sizi these past two days."
Looking at Li Shimin's expectant eyes, Xiao Sizi frowned, his expression seeming to say, "Father, don't push your luck."
"Wooden horse." But after much deliberation, Xiao Sizi reluctantly gave it a kiss.
Li Shimin was overjoyed. Regardless of whether the little Si Zi was willing or not, he picked up the little Si Zi and started spinning him around. The hall was filled with laughter and joy.
However, after only two laps, Li Shimin carefully put the little ox down and began to catch his breath, clutching his waist.
"Hehe, Daddy, do we have to spin around again!" Little Sizi stretched out his hands and jumped around in place with an expectant look on his face.
"Ahem... Well, Sizi, Father hasn't been resting well these past few days, how about we go for a walk another time?" Li Shimin's face turned red as he finished speaking, as if he had done something wrong.
"No, I want to spin around!" Little Sizi grabbed Li Shimin's leg and started climbing up the dragon robe.
Princess Chang Le watched the spectacle with a smile, inwardly sighing, "How much fun this family would lose without Si Zi!"
Faced with Xiao Sizi's coquettish advances, Li Shimin was at a loss for what to do and had no choice but to look to Princess Chang Le for help.
Upon seeing this, Princess Chang Le quickly lowered her head, keeping her eyes down and adopting an indifferent attitude.
Seeing this, Wu She stepped forward before Li Shimin could speak: "Your Highness Jinyang, this old servant just saw many interesting but unfamiliar items in that carriage. Would you be so kind as to explain them to me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi was immediately drawn to Wu She's words. She loosened the dragon robe that had been crumpled by her little hands, and stopped bothering Li Shimin. With her hands behind her back, she walked towards the table with an air of old age.
Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately gave Wu She a "well done" look.
Wu She: "This family will truly fall apart without me!"
Little Sizi had already strode over to the table with an air of dominance. Looking at the pile of things on the table, she turned around, tilted her little head, and waved her little hand at Li Shimin and Princess Chang Le.
Li Shimin and his companion immediately strode forward to the table, adopting the posture of eager students facing their teacher.
Seeing this scene, Wu She struggled to suppress a smile. Having followed Li Shimin for many years, he had never seen the latter like this before: "It has to be the young prince of Jinyang!" he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"This is a Want Want biscuit, this is a lollipop! This is yogurt! This..." Xiao Sizi picked up the snacks in front of her and introduced them one by one to Li Shimin and Princess Chang Le.
The two of them were completely confused for a moment, but they kept nodding.
As for the names of the snacks that Xiao Sizi mentioned, as an older child, she was naturally more interested in food, so Princess Chang Le remembered them pretty well, while Li Shimin, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled.
"Did you remember that, Du?" Xiao Sizi said, putting her hands on her hips and looking at the two people in front of her.
"Yes, I'll remember, elder sister!" Princess Chang Le nodded quickly.
"Father?" Little Sizi turned to look at Li Shimin.
"This... um... I... Father will remember!" Li Shimin was momentarily speechless when asked the question, and could only nod with a forced smile.
"Alright, then I'll have to test you guys! What is it?" Little Sizi suddenly became playful and started imitating the way Mr. Miyazaki taught, pointing at the table.
"This is... Woof Woof Cookies?" Princess Chang Le blurted out after a moment's thought.
"Yes, big sister is awesome! What about this?" Little Sizi continued to ask.
"This is... yogurt?" Princess Chang Le was a little unsure.
"Yes! Big sister is really amazing, but she's also quite amazing, she memorized it after only a few tries!" Little Si praised Princess Chang Le while also praising herself.
For some reason, Princess Chang Le felt a little proud as she listened to Xiao Si Zi's praise.
"Next up is Dad!" Little Sizi waved his hand, looking quite like a little adult.
"Ah...and me too!" Upon hearing this, Li Shimin pointed to his own nose, looking at Xiao Sizi with an incredulous expression.
"Yes!" Little Si nodded emphatically, her tone leaving no room for refusal.
Li Shimin was at a loss for what to do and looked at Princess Changle.
Princess Chang Le: "Hmm, the weather is quite nice today!" Chang Le turned her head to look out the window.
Li Shimin: "Little cotton-padded jacket—1." He then turned to look at Wu She.
Wu She: "This family! Whether I'm here or not, it will fall apart!"
