The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Chapter 41 The Divine Bird Fails, and Li Shimin Feels Guilty

At this moment, Li Shimin looked at his youngest daughter with a guilty conscience.

Holding up the motionless paper crane in his hand, he said awkwardly.

"Sizi!"

"Look at this divine bird..."

"Why did it suddenly turn out like this?"

However, what Li Shimin did not expect was...

The little guy's expression changed instantly upon hearing his question.

Her smiling face instantly fell.

Her little mouth twitched, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Wow-

—

A loud cry instantly echoed throughout the hall.

"You're so naughty!"

"Father broke the little bird that Shi Hu gave to Si Zi!"

"Waaaaah!"

In Xiao Sizi's eyes, it was her father who insisted on catching the bird.

The bird only flew halfway before it fell down.

It must be Aye's problem!

Li Shimin was completely bewildered by his youngest daughter's tearful complaints.

He stood there holding the paper crane, somewhat at a loss.

"I...no!"

"I didn't!"

"I didn't even touch it!"

How did he become the culprit?

Upon seeing this, Li Lizhi quickly went over.

He knelt down, comforting his younger sister while explaining on behalf of their father.

"Sister, don't cry."

"It has nothing to do with Father."

"The divine bird suddenly couldn't fly anymore."

"Aye hasn't even met it yet."

However, the little guy was too upset to listen to anything.

"It's Aye!"

"Waaaaah..."

"A gift from Master Hu..."

Li Shimin was driven to the brink of despair by his daughter's crying.

An emperor who handles state affairs with ease.

Faced with his two-year-old daughter's tears, he was at a loss.

He felt that if he didn't explain things clearly, his most beloved youngest daughter would really hate him.

However, even if Li Shimin wanted to explain, he couldn't find a reason.

Because he himself didn't know what was going on.

After all, this is a divine object. Although he is an emperor on earth, he is still a mortal.

The underlying principles are completely incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun was there with her.

She, with her gentle and kind heart, watched quietly from the sidelines.

She could see her husband's predicament and understood that the problem did not lie with Li Shimin.

He then went over and gently hugged his youngest daughter.

He gently patted her back, wiped away her tears, and comforted her softly.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, Sizi."

"Sizi, aren't you able to contact that master?"

"Since this little bird was a gift from Master."

"Then let's go find that deity and ask him what's going on, okay?"

Upon hearing her mother's suggestion, the little boy's tears stopped abruptly.

She sniffed, tears still clinging to her long eyelashes.

"Oh yeah..."

She immediately realized that she could communicate with Shi Hu in her mind, just like last time!

Shi Hu definitely knows what's going on!

So, the little ox nodded obediently.

"Um!"

"The rhinoceros asked the master!"

He then closed his eyes and began calling out to Shi Hu in his mind.

"Shihu~ Shihu~"

Are you there?

Meanwhile, in another timeline, there is Jiang Lin.

At that moment, they received the little cutie's urgent call.

Hearing that voice tinged with a sob, Jiang Lin's heart stirred.

"Mingda?"

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't it just happen not long ago?"

"Are you in such a hurry to come back?"

Meanwhile, Xiao Sizi said in her mind, feeling wronged.

"It's not a duck!"

"Master..."

"The little bird seems to be broken!"

"What should we do?"

"Did Aye break it?"

Jiang Lin sensed the panic in the little guy's voice, so he gently comforted him.

"Mingda, don't panic."

"Explain the situation to your master first."

"What's wrong with the little bird?"

The little guy described it eagerly.

"It's...it's just that Aye wanted to touch it."

"Then the bird flew halfway and suddenly fell down."

"I can't wake him up no matter what I do!"

Jiang Lin was taken aback at first, then smiled faintly.

"Silly girl."

"Mingda, have you forgotten what your master told you not long ago?"

"For this paper crane to move, it consumes the spiritual energy that Master infused into it, just like a person needs to eat."

"It flew for so long just now, and its spiritual energy is gone, so it will naturally turn back into an inanimate object."

"When you come back, bring the paper crane to your master."

"Let Master replenish its spiritual energy, and it will naturally become lively again."

Upon hearing his master's explanation, the young man suddenly understood.

It turns out the little bird was hungry and weak; it wasn't that Father broke it!

The little guy's face immediately turned red, and he responded shyly.

"hey-hey..."

"The rhinoceros forgot about the duck!"

Jiang Lin smiled and said it in his mind.

"You silly goose."

"Alright, it's good that everything's alright."

"Contact Master again when Mingda wants to come back."

After saying that, communication between the two timelines was cut off.

Inside the main hall, Li Shimin and the others were looking at their youngest daughter with solemn expressions.

Little Sizi stood there with his eyes closed, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.

Even so, they didn't dare to interrupt.

Because they knew that this was their daughter communicating with that deity in her mind.

This is a miracle that connects heaven and earth!

When the little ox opened its eyes, it excitedly came to its senses.

Li Shimin then asked with some concern, his tone tense.

"Sizi...

'

"How is it?"

"That deity wasn't angry after hearing that, was he?"

After all, if you break something belonging to the gods, you can't afford to be punished by them.

Xiao Sizi chuckled and scratched his head.

"No ducks!"

"Shi Hu isn't angry!"

"It was Sizi who forgot!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

"Forgot what?"

The little guy smiled sheepishly and said this.

"Master Hu reminded you, brother."

"The little bird needs to use up its spirit energy!"

"Without spirit energy, it can't fly!"

"Just like a rhinoceros can't run if it doesn't eat!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Li Shimin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

So that's how it is!

To make this paper crane fly gracefully, it needs to be infused with something called spiritual essence by a deity.

Once it's exhausted, it naturally stops moving.

Looking at it this way, it has nothing to do with me!

However, upon further reflection...

Li Shimin felt even more keenly the power of that divine ruler.

Simply by infusing a wisp of spiritual energy, an inanimate object can gain sentience and even understand human speech.

It's truly unbelievable and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Xiao Sizi ran over and took the paper crane from Li Shimin.

He carefully tucked it into his arms.

"As long as we go back, we can have Master Hu replenish our spiritual energy."

"The little bird can fly again!"

Li Shimin nodded hurriedly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, okay."

"As long as it wasn't Father who damaged the divine artifacts, then everything is fine!"

After the false alarm, the atmosphere relaxed again.

Empress Zhangsun looked at her daughter with eyes full of love.

"Alright, the matter has been clarified."

"Sizi has been over there for so long, she must be hungry now that she's back, right?"

Then, he turned to the palace maid beside him and gave instructions.

"Go and prepare the meal."

"Have the Imperial Kitchen bring out all the prepared pastries and meat soup."

However, Xiao Sizi just chuckled again.

She waved her little hand, looking completely satisfied.

"No need, Mother!"

"Brother, I'm not hungry!"

"Sizi and Shihu have already eaten a lot of Haochi!"
