Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

"Hmm, it smells quite nice." Empress Zhangsun also dipped her hand in the shampoo and smelled it; it had a pleasant, refreshing fragrance.

"Hehe~ Little Xizi smells so good, and Mother Niye smells so good!"

The little ox said in a childish voice.

After washing her hair, it was time to use the shower gel. Little Sizi said in a sweet, childish voice, "Mommy, this is cool and slippery. Let me put it on for you."

Whoosh whoosh!

The mother and daughter finished bathing quickly, and Empress Zhangsun carried the naked little girl onto the phoenix bed and then turned on the fan.

The little guy, with his short legs, ran around on the bed, and then hugged the fan to enjoy the breeze.

"Don't catch a cold from the cold!" Empress Zhangsun reminded her.

"Mother, I'm going to eat ducklings!"

Perhaps because she was tired, or perhaps because she was with her mother, Xiao Sizi fell asleep after playing for a short while.

Looking at that adorable little face, Empress Zhangsun affectionately tidied her hair.

"Again, so many again, Mother's seven... Pot's seven too."

Empress Zhangsun was both amused and exasperated to hear that the little prince was dreaming about food.

Looking at that tender little face, Empress Zhangsun watched quietly without moving.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Empress Zhangsun woke up, yawned gracefully, and glanced cautiously at the little girl beside her.

At this moment, she was sticking her little bottom out, and her little face had red marks from sleeping on her stomach.

"Seriously, Sizi can fall asleep like this." He couldn't help but pat her little bottom and then helped her turn over.

But Princess Xiaosizi rolled over and her delicate little feet landed straight on the wall.

This sleeping posture is just unbelievable...

A palace maid noticed something and came over: "Your Majesty, you're awake. Would you like me to help you wash up now?"

"Okay, let's wash up." She said, sitting down in front of the mirror. Looking at the wrinkles around her eyes, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm getting old, I've got wrinkles."

At this moment, Qiuyue walked in and hurriedly spoke upon hearing Empress Zhangsun's sigh.

"No way! Her Majesty the Empress looks younger and more beautiful than me. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a celestial being descended to earth."

"You're so sweet-talking. It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be." Although she said that, her happy eyes betrayed her.

Women always want others to say they are beautiful, and even Empress Zhangsun was no exception.

"Every word I said is true; there is not a single lie."

Qiuyue wasn't exaggerating when she said that, but the difference wasn't significant.

Even in her queenly attire, she still looks stunning; no one would believe she is already a mother of several children.

After applying makeup to Empress Zhangsun, Qiuyue looked at her face in the mirror and secretly marveled at the Empress's beauty.

While they were chatting casually, Princess Little Sizi turned over and sat up.

"Hmm, Mother, where are you?"

Upon hearing the sound, Empress Zhangsun hurriedly stood up and went over.

"Sizi, why are you awake so early? Come and wash up."

Little Sizi mumbled an "Mmm" in her sleep and sat obediently while Qiuyue washed her face and brushed her teeth.

As she washed, the little princess suddenly thought of something.

"Mother, elder sister, is she here?" Upon hearing this, Empress Zhangsun shook her head: "No, why?"

Little Si looked around warily: "What's going on? I feel like someone's hitting my butt."

Little Sizi spoke while protecting her bottom. Empress Zhangsun, hearing this, laughed and said, "Couldn't it have been Mother who spanked you?"

"It's no trouble at all. Mother doesn't bother with the fishing like older sister."

Xiao Sizi spoke righteously, and since Xiao Sizi believed in her so much, Empress Zhangsun also kept her own affairs a secret.

The eldest daughter, Lizhi, took the blame.

"Mommy, I'm going to get fat!" Little Sizi said in a childish voice after washing up.

"Sizi, Mother has already had breakfast made. Eat something before you go back."

"Buqi, I'm going to Guoguo's house!" With that, Xiaosi drove away.

However, Xiao Sizi didn't go to Jiang Fan's place immediately. Instead, she drove to her second sister's palace first.

~

Whoosh whoosh!

Xiao Sizi barged straight into Chengyang's bedchamber, where Chengyang was still asleep.

Little Sizi, with her short legs and big, round eyes, climbed onto the bed and then reached out her chubby little hands to poke Chengyang's cheeks.

However, Chengyang was sleeping soundly. When Xiaosizi saw the doll by the bedside, he ran over to it, panting.

Chengyang then heard the noise, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she looked sleepy...

I forced my heavy eyelids open and groggily looked toward the source of the sound—

My vision was blurry at first; I could only see a small figure dressed in palace attire playing with her doll on the bed. It was Sizi…

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Sizi, Chengyang's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Her arms, which had been supporting her body, suddenly gave way, and with a "thud," she fell back down, her cheeks sinking back into the soft pillow.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep again, the sound of her getting up just now did not escape Xiao Sizi's eyes.

Almost nose to nose, she cheerfully asked, "Second Sister! You're awake?"

Chengyang kept her eyes closed, unconsciously wrinkling her delicate nose, and didn't respond. She wanted to sleep a little longer.

"Second Sister? Second Sister?" Seeing that Chengyang didn't answer, Xiao Sizi moved closer, her warm breath almost touching Chengyang's face. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her small hand, seemingly wanting to use the same trick again to poke Chengyang's cheek.

This time, the relentless "harassment" finally broke through Chengyang's last line of defense against sleepiness.

Unable to bear it any longer, she slowly opened her eyes—

"Ah!" The next second, Chengyang exclaimed softly, startled and sitting up abruptly!

Her heart skipped a beat, and when she looked closely, she realized it was the little ox's head that was very close to hers.

Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously patted his chest.

Calming her frightened heart, her fair cheeks flushed a thin layer of red from the shock and embarrassment.

Xiao Sizi was completely bewildered by Chengyang's series of intense reactions.

She remained crawling, her little face tilted back, her big eyes filled with doubt and worry.

Sizi watched as Chengyang sat up, and then crawled over to him as well.

Her little hands clung to Chengyang's knees, and she asked cautiously, "Second sister? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Looking at Xiao Sizi's innocent expression, completely unaware that she was the "culprit,"

Chengyang rolled her eyes at her, clearly annoyed.

He gently tapped Xiao Sizi's forehead with his index finger: "You almost scared me to death! The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was your big head right in front of me."

The little rhinoceros swayed slightly from the poking, but once it regained its balance, it was no longer afraid.

Instead, she giggled, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Hehehe, Second Sister's a coward!"
