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

Chengyang was completely bewildered by Sizi's sudden and intense reaction.

Frowning, he tried hard to recall: what major event happened last night after he fell asleep that he didn't know about?

Li Lizhi was both amused and exasperated. Empress Zhangsun held her squirming little daughter firmly in her arms.

Looking at her anxious, barely concealing appearance, and then at Li Lizhi's helpless yet amused expression, a thought flashed through my mind, and a guess came to mind.

She asked uncertainly, "Lizhi...could it be...Sizi...wet the bed last night?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing her mother's guess, Li Lizhi's eyes widened slightly, then she quickly pursed her lips, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

In the end, he simply lowered his eyes slightly, tacitly accepting the answer.

The little girl, who had been struggling just moments before, stopped the moment she heard the words "bedwetting."

It was as if I had been frozen in place; my whole body stiffened abruptly, and then, as if struck by lightning, I felt completely stunned.

Her small face sagged visibly, and her bright eyes lost their sparkle.

Little Sizi completely gave up struggling, and like a deflated balloon, she slumped softly in Empress Zhangsun's arms.

When Empress Zhangsun saw her eldest daughter's expression and her youngest daughter's reaction, how could she not understand?

She found it funny, but also a little heartbreaking to see the little guy so devastated.

Chengyang finally realized what was going on, and seeing Sizi's utterly hopeless expression, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She laughed uncontrollably: "Hahaha... So... so you wet the bed yesterday, Sizi! No wonder you were so afraid of what your older sister would say!"

Xiao Sizi, who was already on the verge of "social death" and mentally broken,

Hearing his second sister's merciless mockery, his inner energy was instantly reignited.

She sat up abruptly from Empress Zhangsun's lap, her little mouth pouting so much it could hold an oil bottle.

Pointing angrily at Chengyang, she said, "Hmph! You...you're all bad people! You bullied me! I...I'm not talking to you anymore!"

After saying that, Little Sizi scrambled up from the couch, ran to the innermost corner of the couch, sat down facing the wall, and hugged her knees.

Turning the back of his head to everyone is a gesture that says, "I'm angry, so make me happy, or the consequences will be severe."

Empress Zhangsun, watching her youngest daughter's series of fluid and dramatic movements, finally couldn't help but laugh along with Li Lizhi and Chengyang, filling the hall with joyful laughter.

Of course, this smile was somewhat cruel to Sizi. Huddled in the corner, Sizi heard the familiar laughter behind her, especially her mother's, and felt even more wronged. She secretly turned around and quickly glared at the group.

It immediately turned back and let out a loud "humph" through its nose.

The group laughed for a while, then gradually quieted down. Empress Zhangsun also realized that she had laughed a bit too much.

She cleared her throat, softened her voice, and said to the small, stubborn figure, "Oh dear, Sizi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have laughed at you."

Don't be angry, come here, okay? You're still a little baby, bedwetting is perfectly normal!

Your older sister and your sister Chengyang, when they were your age, they also wet the bed, especially Chengyang, who was over three years old and still wet the bed. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Currently reading Chapter 180, Chengyang: "So Sizi wet the bed last night!", completely absorbed in the story.

Chengyang, who had been laughing along, froze on his face upon hearing these words.

She frowned, trying very hard to recall: "When I was a little over three years old...did I really wet the bed? I don't think I remember very well..."

Little Sizi's ears twitched slightly when he heard his mother's words, but he didn't turn around.

She subtly tilted her head slightly and glanced quickly at Li Lizhi and Chengyang out of the corner of her eye.

Upon realizing that his mother and the others were all watching him, he immediately became like a frightened turtle.

He pulled his head back and remained silent, but his back no longer looked so tense.

"Sizi? My dear Sizi? I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?" Empress Zhangsun continued to coax him gently.

After waiting for a while, the small figure in the corner remained motionless.

Seeing this, Li Lizhi gave Chengyang a wink. Chengyang instantly understood.

He tiptoed toward the little ox and hugged it from behind, where it was curled up in a ball.

"Ouch! Let go! Second sister, let go!" The little rhinoceros was suddenly hugged and began to struggle and thrash about again.

It protested with hums and groans, but the force was noticeably weaker than before.

Chengyang ignored her protests, half-carrying, half-dragging the little dumpling from the corner back to the soft couch. After the little girl was put down,

With a pained expression, she tried to climb back up, but as soon as she stood up, Empress Zhangsun pulled her back into her arms and hugged her tightly.

"Ouch! Mother, let go!" Little Sizi covered his face, making a final, symbolic struggle in his mother's arms.

Empress Zhangsun laughed, ignoring her attempts to dodge, and leaned close to her little face, giving her several loud kisses:

Her face was covered in wet kisses, and she couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled. The little girl felt a pang of embarrassment.

Actually, her temper had already subsided when her mother gently coaxed her, and now she was completely swayed by the kisses.

But she was still a little embarrassed and nestled in her mother's arms.

He covered his face with his chubby little hands, refusing to show it, and didn't say anything, but just twisted his body.

Seeing that she was no longer resisting, Empress Zhangsun knew her anger had subsided, so she hugged her even tighter, her cheek pressed against her soft hair, and said softly:

"Alright, alright, don't be shy anymore. You never have to feel shy with your mother."

Just then, Li Lizhi's personal maid led in several eunuchs carrying exquisite paper bags.

"This servant greets Your Majesty the Empress, Princess Changle, Princess Jinyang, and Princess Chengyang." The servants bowed respectfully.

Empress Zhangsun waved her hand, "No need for formalities." Her gaze fell curiously on the paper bags printed with unfamiliar patterns. "These are..."

Before the maid could reply, Li Lizhi stood up and explained, "Mother, this is what Brother Fan asked us to bring back. It's a variety of cakes from his hometown. They taste amazing, sweet but not greasy. Please try some."

She gestured to the eunuchs to place the paper bag on the table to the side.

The little girl, who was originally nestled in Empress Zhangsun's arms, covering her face with her hands in embarrassment,

Upon hearing the word "cake," their ears perked up immediately.

She quietly parted her fingers a crack, and her dark, grape-like eyes peeked through the gap.

He aimed precisely at the several bulging bags on the table.
