My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

In front of the Taiji Hall, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty brandished seven wolves, chasing the princes of the court all over the square.

This chaotic scene left the newly surrendered cultivators from another world completely dumbfounded.

"Mother, help! Old Deng can't take this anymore, he's really going to murder his own son!"

Li Chen moved with lightning speed, circling around the white marble pillar in front of the King of Qin.

Finally, with a "whoosh," he hid directly behind Empress Zhangsun's phoenix robe.

Empress Zhangsun looked at the two lovable father and son, feeling both annoyed and amused.

She stretched out her hands, protecting Li Chen like a chick, and gave Li Shimin a reproachful glare.

"Your Majesty! You, the ruler of a nation, are beating your son with a leather belt in front of your entire court and so many outsiders. What kind of decorum is this?"

Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes at him, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"

Li Shimin stopped, panting, and pointed fiercely at Li Chen, who was peeking out from behind the Empress's shoulder.

"Guanyinbi, listen to the outrageous things this unfilial son just said!"

"He actually dared to challenge me to a duel at Xuanwu Gate! He even wants to seize my throne!"

Li Shimin was so angry that his beard twitched.

"Mother, that was a reasonable request. Who told him to steal my secret manual first?" Li Chen retorted confidently, sticking his head out.

Just as the father and son were about to continue their bickering, separated by Empress Zhangsun.

"Sixteenth Brother!"

A clear, childlike voice, tinged with a sob, suddenly came from the side door of the Taiji Hall.

Followed by.

A chubby, pink dumpling wearing a pink pleated skirt and with two little buns in her hair.

Like a small cannonball fired from a gun, it stumbled and flew towards us.

With a "bang".

The little girl immediately hugged Li Chen's leg and burst into tears.

"Sixteenth Brother! Where have you gone?!"

Sizi looked up with her pink face covered in tears, crying so hard it was heartbreaking.

"Sizi misses you so much! You never take Sizi out to play, and you've been gone for over a year!"

Li Chen, who was still arguing with Lao Li, softened instantly upon hearing this voice.

He quickly squatted down and hugged the most beloved little princess in the entire Tang Dynasty into his arms.

"Oh dear, my little darling, don't cry, don't cry. Sixteenth Brother is back, isn't he?"

Li Chen frantically wiped away Si Zi's tears, then froze in shock.

"Sixteenth Brother, you're so mean! You're ignoring Sizi!"

Seeing Li Chen in a daze, the little girl in his arms pouted in dissatisfaction and gently punched Li Chen's chest twice with her little pink fist.

"Reasonable! How can we not care!"

He looked at his pitiful-looking sister in his arms and winked mysteriously.

"Sixteenth Brother brought you a gift especially for this trip."

When Si Zi heard there was a gift, her eyes lit up instantly, and she even forgot to wipe away her tears.

"What gift is it?"

With a thought, Li Chen directly connected with his soul space.

"Clang clang clang!"

Accompanied by a voiceover from Li Chen.

A chubby, round kitten with beautiful fishbone patterns suddenly appeared in Li Chen's palm.

This is no ordinary cat.

This is a low-level spirit beast called "Wind Spirit Tabby Cat". It looks exactly like the tabby cat from my previous life, but it is more spiritual and has a gentle personality.

"Meow~"

The kitten let out a soft, cute meow and rubbed its fluffy head against Li Chen's fingers.

"Wow!"

When Sizi saw this incredibly cute tabby cat, she immediately let out a gasp.

She scooped the kitten into her arms and spun around happily several times.

As for Li Chen's disappearance for over a year and his lack of time to play with her...

In front of a fluffy little kitten, everything was instantly forgotten.

"Sixteenth Brother is the best!" Si Zi hugged the cat and gave Li Chen a kiss on the cheek.

Seeing the little girl stop crying and start laughing, the Tang Dynasty officials around them also showed knowing smiles.

Li Shimin silently put the seven wolves back into his waistband. He stepped forward, looked at the spirited little cat in Sizi's arms, and casually asked a question.

"Sizi, since it's a gift from your sixteenth brother, what name do you plan to give this kitten?"

Sizi hugged the cat, tilted her little head, and began to think very seriously.

Her big eyes darted around.

"Um……"

Suddenly, Sizi's eyes lit up, and he announced loudly.

"It's decided! Let's call it Fourth Brother!"

"Meow?"

The kitten let out a puzzled protest, seemingly very unhappy with the name.

But this weak protest was taken as a sign of affection by Sizi and completely ignored.

And upon hearing this name...

Everyone present, including Li Chen, was stunned.

"The fourth one?"

Li Shimin was speechless, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"Sizi, this cat is so cute, why did you give it such a... crude name?"

"Why call him Fourth Brother?"

Sizi blinked her big eyes, stretched out her chubby little fingers, and began to count on her fingers in a serious manner.

"Because of that."

Sizi pointed to herself, "I, Sizi, am one."

Then, pointing to Empress Zhangsun, he said, "Mother, this is the second one."

He then pointed to Li Chen, who was squatting in front of him, and said, "Sixteenth Brother, it's the third one."

Finally, she proudly held up the tabby cat in her arms.

"The cat just happened to be the fourth one in the family, so it's called 'Fourth Brother'!"

Quiet.

The air suddenly became very quiet.

The smile on Li Shimin's face froze completely at that moment.

He looked at his beloved daughter in disbelief, pointing a trembling finger at his own nose.

"Then...what about Father?"

The Tang emperor was on the verge of tears, his voice filled with a deep sense of despair.

"Sizi, your father plays with you every day and buys you candied hawthorns. When you're arranging your name, why don't you include your father in your name?"

"Father is fourth, so calling it fifth is fine too!"

Hearing Li Shimin's pitiful accusation.

Sizi tilted his head, seemingly only then noticing his father standing beside him.

The little girl stuck out her tongue a little shyly.

"Oh dear, I forgot about Father!"

Si Zi comforted her in a childish voice, "Father, don't be sad. Next time, next time Si Zi will definitely include Father in the count!"

After saying this, Sizi didn't give Li Shimin a chance to be sad.

Clutching the tabby cat named "Fourth Brother," she skipped and hopped off to show it off to the palace maids and eunuchs nearby.

Only the Tang emperor remained.

Standing alone in the white marble square.

Disheveled in the wind.

That figure looked utterly desolate, as if abandoned by the entire world.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Old Li's humiliated appearance, Li Chen unleashed a deafening and merciless laugh.

"Old Deng, you've finally met your match!"

Li Chen laughed so hard he almost fell over, tears streaming down his face.

"The mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is less than a cat in his own daughter's heart? What a failure as a father!"

Li Shimin's pride was hurt by Li Chen's laughter.

He turned his head abruptly, pointing at Li Chen with a furious and embarrassed expression, his beard twitching.

"You unfilial son, how dare you laugh!"

"Of the three people Si Zi just counted, you actually took my spot!"

Li Shimin was furious. "It must be because you spoke ill of me to the prince that he forgot about me!"
