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

Li Yinxun pushed open the door, tossed the key onto the entryway cabinet, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.

After a long day of running around, my bones feel like they're about to fall apart.

Empress Zhangsun sat on the sofa, her back straight as she played on her phone.

Li Lizhi sat beside her, holding a book, her eyes lowered.

The little princess was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, drawing circles on a piece of paper with a crayon.

Li Yinxun rubbed the back of her neck. "You've been up all day, are you hungry? Want to grab something to eat?"

Empress Zhangsun gently shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

I ate a big lunch and I still feel full.

Li Lizhi shook her head, "I'm not hungry either."

She was actually a little hungry, but seeing that Empress Zhangsun said she wasn't hungry, she felt embarrassed to bother Li Yinxun.

A small hand tugged at Li Yinxun's clothes.

The little princess looked up and said, "Auntie, I'm so hungry! My tummy is growling!"

Children get hungry more easily than adults.

Li Yinxun bent down and pinched her little cheek: "Okay, Auntie will get you something delicious. What do you want to eat?"

"Seven again!"

"Okay, Auntie will give you some meat."

I took out my phone, opened the food delivery app, browsed through the options, and placed an order.

The barbecue cost a little over 200 yuan, and we also ordered two servings of stir-fried noodles.

The adults eat spicy food, but we order non-spicy food separately for the little princess.

Of course, everyone needs a bottle of Coke.

"Okay, it'll be delivered in a bit. Watch some TV first."

Upon hearing this, the little princess immediately climbed onto the sofa, opened her laptop, skillfully found the cartoon, and the opening theme of "Boonie Bears" began to play.

The little princess nestled into the cushion, her eyes shining as she stared at the two bears on the screen, her little head following the plot step by step, completely immersed in her own world.

Li Yinxun watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.

This kid is incredibly adaptable; he can thrive anywhere, whether it's the Tang Dynasty or modern times.

On the other side, Empress Zhangsun's attention was not on Sizi.

While watching a TV series, the lyrics came to mind: "We gaze at each other from afar, one glance and my heart breaks..."

Li Yinxun: "..."

"Sis, what do you think of this?"

Li Yinxun leaned over to take a look and found that Empress Zhangsun had actually downloaded a video playback software herself.

The interface is clean and the categories are clearly defined.

Free, high-definition, ad-free, and with bullet comments.

"Sis, what software is this? I want to download it too!"

Empress Zhangsun handed over her phone, and Li Yinxun shared it with her without saying a word.

She was secretly amazed. She had been searching for this software for more than half a year without success, only to have it discovered by an ancient person from 1,300 years ago.

Is it reasonable?

After the installation was completed, Li Yinxun took a look and was surprised to find that Empress Zhangsun had already finished watching more than half of the drama.

Li Yinxun stayed with her for a few minutes.

On the screen, the female lead is talking to the emperor in a rather casual tone.

Empress Zhangsun frowned, paused the video, and turned to look at Li Yinxun.

"Xiao Xun," she pointed to the screen, "is this how... plays are filmed nowadays?"

Not entirely…

"This woman," Empress Zhangsun pointed at the Empress, "as a subject, how can she speak so casually to the Emperor? She has no respect whatsoever. She doesn't bow to the Emperor, but instead bows to the chief eunuch beside her. What kind of logic is this? Where is the proper order of things?"

Li Yinxun forced an awkward smile and mumbled, "Sis, this is just for fun, don't take it seriously..."

Empress Zhangsun shook her head, her face full of disapproval, and then clicked to continue reading.

She watched for a while, then stopped.

This time, the female lead, as the empress, is hiding under the covers and secretly eating sour apricots.

Empress Zhangsun's face was full of disgust: "As the Empress of the nation, she should be a model for all women. How could she be so sneaky, stealing snacks? What kind of behavior is this?"

Li Yinxun felt that the sofa under her bottom was a bit prickly.

Hearing this, Li Lizhi, who was quietly reading a book nearby, also looked up.

During the two days Li Lizhi was hospitalized, she watched a few episodes with her, which were really cringe-worthy.

"Auntie, I don't understand either. Why did the woman named Daru in the drama make shoes for the guards by hand? In the Tang Dynasty, shoes, socks, and sachets made by women by hand were all...all..."

Her face flushed slightly. "These are all tokens of love; how can they be given away to men outside the relationship so casually? That's against etiquette."

Empress Zhangsun nodded in deep agreement: "That's exactly right, it's absurd."

The two of them went back and forth, their words filled with complaints about "improper etiquette," "unseemly behavior," and "reversal of hierarchy."

Li Yinxun felt a chill run down her spine and silently moved to the little princess's side.

It's safer to watch "Boonie Bears".

On the screen, Xiong Er is wearing a floral dress and wiggling around.

The little princess pointed at Xiong Er and giggled, "Auntie, Xiong Er is ugly!"

A little while later, Bald Qiang tripped and fell again.

Si Zi laughed so hard she almost fell over, then pointed to another character: "Bald Qiang is so clumsy!"

"Yes, yes, none of them are as smart or as pretty as our Sizi."

Upon hearing this, the little princess shook her head proudly.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"The takeout is here!" Li Yinxun felt like she had been granted a pardon and jumped up to open the door.

The delivery guy at the door handed over two large bags of food, saying, "Enjoy your meal."

"Thanks."

Li Yinxun took it, and a rich aroma of barbecue immediately wafted into the room.

"Dinner's ready!" Li Yinxun carried the bag to the coffee table.

The little princess was the first to crawl over, watching eagerly.

Li Yinxun opened the package and found a coffee table piled high with grilled meat skewers, chicken wings, chives, eggplant, and more. There were also two servings of glistening fried noodles.

She distributed disposable chopsticks and spoons to Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi, then took a few skewers of non-spicy grilled meat, blew on them, and handed them to the little princess.

"Be careful, it's hot."

The little princess couldn't wait any longer. She grabbed a chicken wing and brought it to her mouth, but the heat burned her, and she hissed. She couldn't bear to let go, so she blew on it a couple of times before taking another bite.

Empress Zhangsun looked at the food she had never seen before. It looked a bit strange, but the aroma was really tempting.

Following Li Yinxun's example, she picked up a skewer of grilled meat and carefully took a bite.

The meat is tender, the sauce is fragrant, and a slight spiciness bursts on the tongue.

She took another bite of the fried noodles; they were smooth and flavorful.

The four sat around the coffee table, eating meat heartily.

The little princess ate the most, her two little hands glistening with oil.

Empress Zhangsun couldn't bear to watch any longer and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, but Sizi dodged it, turned her little face away, and continued to gnaw.

"Sis, try this."

Empress Zhangsun hesitated for two seconds, then brought the lips to her mouth and pursed them slightly.

The cool liquid rushed into my mouth; it was not only sweet, but also had countless tiny bubbles bursting on my tongue, crackling and popping, giving me a tingling, numb feeling.

The tongue unconsciously chases after the dissipating bubbles.

That's so interesting.

She took another sip, the coolness sliding from her throat down to her stomach, making her feel so comfortable she wanted to sigh.

"It tastes good."

Li Lizhi took a sip, licked her lips, and then took another sip.

The little princess had a straw inserted into her can. She held it with both hands, puffed out her cheeks, and took a deep breath. The bubbles rushed around in her mouth, making her feel both tingly and numb.

"Auntie, this little watery thing bites its tongue."

"Really? Be careful, it might eat you up."

The little princess wrinkled her nose. "Wobuxin, drink it and see how swollen it gets."

Then it started sucking hard, its little face puffing up like a hamster.

Suddenly he tilted his head back, facing the ceiling—

belch--

Loud and resonant.

The little princess touched her belly, looking completely innocent.

"Mother, it's your belly that's talking."

Empress Zhangsun could no longer contain herself, covering her mouth and trembling.

Li Lizhi turned her head away, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth.

Li Yinxun laughed so hard she lay on the table and pounded it.
