Little Sizi came to my house and became the family's darling, and Li Shimin got anxious.

After dinner, under the little princess's coquettish charm, Li Yinxun softened and let them watch another episode of "Boonie Bears".

When the end credits started playing, Li Yinxun checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock.

"Sizi, it's getting late, shouldn't we head back?"

"But I still want to see Qiang Guo..." The little princess clung to the edge of the coffee table, her face full of reluctance.

It's perfectly normal for a three-year-old to be obsessed with cartoons.

But at this time on weekdays, Xiao Sizi would already be asleep; children shouldn't stay up late.

"Sizi, look, it's already dark outside. It's time to go back to sleep. If you don't go back soon, your parents will worry. Come to your sister's tomorrow, and I'll show you again, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the two little princesses both looked up at the ceiling.

It's all white, where's the black part?

"Sister, isn't it daytime now?" Princess Chengyang tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Li Yinxun pointed out the window, "Look outside."

Chengyang looked in the direction she was pointing. It was pitch black outside the glass window, with only a few scattered lights in the distance.

"It's as bright as day here because of the lights. Once the lights are off, it's just as dark as outside."

Princess Chengyang nodded as if she understood, knowing that her sister wouldn't lie to her, and then turned to persuade the little princess.

"Sizi, let's go back first, and come see Bald Qiang again tomorrow."

"Okay..."

The little princess agreed verbally, but her eyes darted around, and she suddenly pulled out the frog costume.

"Sister, I want to wear this back!"

When Aye and Aye see this, they will be overjoyed.

Li Yinxun's lips twitched as she looked at Chengyang.

Princess Chengyang's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

She also wanted to wear it back to scare her father.

"...Alright then." Li Yinxun sighed helplessly, "But you have to take them off before going to bed, okay? New clothes need to be washed before wearing them next to the skin, understand?"

"I understand, sister. Sizi and I will take them off when we get back." Princess Chengyang nodded obediently.

The little princess jumped up impatiently, "Quick, quick! Sister, help me get dressed!"

Li Yinxun resignedly picked up the two bright green frog costumes and put them on the two little girls one by one.

The zipper was pulled all the way up, the hat was pulled up over his head, and two bulging eyes stood upright on the left and right.

She took two steps back and saw two bright green little frogs standing neatly in her living room.

Li Yinxun took out her phone and took several pictures and recorded a video before letting them pass.

"Alright, alright, let's go back now. Don't keep your father waiting."

……

"Ah-yeah—my darling's here!"

The little princess's signature loud voice boomed through the palace, full of energy.

Before Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin, and Li Lizhi could react, two bright green things jumped out.

Jump, jump, and jump again.

With its round, chubby body, two huge, bulging eyes on its head, and short arms and legs, it hopped and skipped towards them.

"This...this...where did such a big frog come from?!" Li Shimin was so shocked that he stood up from the couch, his eyes wide, muttering to himself in disbelief, "Has the frog become a spirit?"

Empress Zhangsun gave him a reproachful look: "What are you talking about? Those are Sizi and Chengyang."

Li Shimin took a closer look.

Indeed, the two little faces peeking out from under the green shell were quite different: one was laughing heartily, and the other was shyly looking down.

Who else could it be but the two of them?

Empress Zhangsun smiled and squatted down, opening her arms wide: "Come, come to your mother..."

The little princess was at full speed at the moment and praised a rhinoceros charge.

"Mother, I'm here..."

The little princess's head slammed into Empress Zhangsun's arms, the force of which knocked Empress Zhangsun backward, and the mother and daughter fell to the ground together.

Even as she fell to the ground, Empress Zhangsun held the little princess firmly in her arms, her own back slamming solidly onto the floor tiles.

"Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Mother!"

"Guanyinbi!"

The maids and Li Lizhi exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to help the mother and daughter up.

"Sizi!" Li Lizhi's face hardened, her tone stern. "You need to be more composed in front of your mother from now on! You're all grown up now, and your mother can't tolerate your impudence!"

The little princess then realized she had made a mistake. Her head drooped, her little hands clutching the edge of her frog costume hat, and she apologized in a childish voice, "Mother, I'm so sorry... I made a big mistake..."

Empress Zhangsun smiled and patted the little princess's head: "Alright, alright, Sizi, just don't rush straight ahead like that in the future. Your mother is getting old and can't catch our Sizi anymore."

"Mother is the best, she's never old!" The little princess immediately raised her head, looking very serious.

"Yes, Mother is amazing, and our Sizi is amazing too."

A word of praise and the little princess's tail immediately perked up again, and a smile returned to her face.

Beside her, Princess Chengyang remained quietly in place, her frog hat adorned with two bulging eyes pointing skyward, watching the chaotic scene unfold.

She secretly glanced at Aye.

Li Shimin stared at the two frog-like eyes on her head with a complicated expression, his lips twitching as if he was trying his best to hold back something.

Princess Chengyang silently pulled her hat down a little.

Li Shimin slowly walked around the two of them for a couple of steps, then reached out and gently poked the frog-eye protrusion on the rhinoceros hat. It was soft and slightly elastic, which startled him so much that he withdrew his fingertip.

"These clothes are quite novel. They're entirely emerald green and have round eyes that make them look exactly like real frogs."

Reaching out, she tugged at Chengyang's short, frog-like arms. The fabric was soft and lightweight, and it looked quite pleasing. "Where did you find such an exquisite gadget?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled and straightened the little princess's crooked hat: "It must have been prepared by fairies. They are so clever to make such interesting clothes. Look how happy our Sizi and Chengyang are."

He then gently pinched the little princess's cheek. "Your clothes are cute, but you run too recklessly. Don't be so impulsive next time."

Li Lizhi also squatted down and carefully examined the two frog costumes, her eyes full of curiosity: "These costumes are exquisitely made and the characters are adorably cute. The girls look really adorable in them."

I wonder if the fairy could also make her a set?

As they were talking, Xiao Sizi suddenly remembered something, grabbed Empress Zhangsun's arm and shook it: "Mother, Mother, Sister has sweet big melons, they're so sweet! And a little car that can run by itself, it's so much fun!"

Chengyang quickly added, "That thing is called a watermelon. It has red flesh and green rind, and it's sweet and refreshing. It's even more delicious than the fruits and melons in the palace. The little cart is also very stable. We all like it very much."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he raised an eyebrow with great interest: "Oh? There are such novel fruits and toys? Let me see for myself what kind of wonderful things are making my little princesses so fond of them."
