Chapter 27 Empress Zhangsun's Choice
Empress Zhangsun led Princess Chengyang by the hand and walked inside. When they passed the table, the latter was also attracted by the pile of things on the table, but she did not ask any questions.
"Fifth Sister, look, isn't this wedding feast? This is the one you chose!" Little Sizi couldn't wait for her fifth sister to come in. She had already run over with her little skirt in high spirits.
"Fifth Sister likes it! Thank you, Sizi!"
Chengyang fell in love with the light blue dress in Xiao Sizi's hand at first sight.
After taking it and examining it carefully, I found that apart from the different color, the style was indeed similar to what Xiao Sizi was wearing.
"Chengyang, go put it on quickly and let us see." Empress Zhangsun stood by, her eyes filled with tenderness and encouragement.
"Yes, Mother!"
"Come on, Fifth Sister, let's go together!" Little Sizi took Chengyang's little hand and walked behind the screen. Princess Chang Le saw this and quickly went over to help.
"No, no, that's how you should wear it."
"Oh, right, this is fine, Fifth Sister looks good too."
Little Sizi chattered incessantly inside like a little adult. Before long, Princess Chengyang, dressed neatly, came out surrounded by Little Sizi and Chang Le.
Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin turned around and saw this scene, and nodded repeatedly. The three maids in front of them were all quite remarkable.
Chang Le looked mature and dignified in her light yellow dress, Cheng Yang looked quiet and reserved in her light blue dress, while Xiao Si Zi looked more playful and cute in her pink tutu.
The clothes worn by the three people perfectly matched their personalities.
"Father, Mother, how is it? Does Fifth Sister look good?" Little Si asked the two impatiently, while Princess Chengyang's eyes also held a hint of anticipation.
"Hmm, this dress suits Chengyang very well. If I didn't know, I would have thought they were fairies descended from heaven at first glance!" Empress Zhangsun stepped forward and looked at her three daughters, nodding with satisfaction.
Hearing her mother's praise, Chengyang felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Hehe, the three of us are little fairies, and Mother is the big fairy!" Little Sizi fell headfirst into Empress Zhangsun's arms and started acting cute.
Empress Zhangsun affectionately patted Xiao Sizi's head, then looked up and waved to Chengyang.
Xiao Chengyang was a little hesitant at first, but the next second he couldn't help but rush into Empress Zhangsun's arms.
Empress Zhangsun, being such a clever woman, could not possibly fail to notice the unusual situation just now. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Sigh, I should pay more attention to Chengyang in the future!"
Princess Chang Le, of course, would not miss such a heartwarming moment, and quickly went over to hug the mother and her two children.
Listening to the laughter of the group, Li Shimin felt as if he were superfluous.
"Cough...cough cough!"
The group was still caught up in the warmth of the moment, so the coughing sound coming from the side didn't attract their attention.
"Cough cough...cough!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but cough a few more times. He was clearly the head of the family, yet no one cared about his feelings at all. How could he stand it?
This time, the group finally noticed the voice and turned to look at Li Shimin in perfect unison. There, their dignified Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty looked at them with a face full of sorrow, like a neglected concubine.
Empress Zhangsun was the first to react upon seeing this, thinking to herself, "Is Erlang jealous?"
"What's wrong with Erlang? Is he feeling unwell? Should we summon the imperial physician?"
Li Shimin quickly shook his head: "I..."
"Dad, is your throat still sore? Do you want some milk?" Little Si asked innocently, blinking her big eyes.
Li Shimin: "I think it's clearly you who wanted to drink it, Si Zi!"
"Hehe." Seeing that her little secret had been exposed, Xiao Sizi didn't feel embarrassed at all, she just laughed foolishly.
Princess Chang Le stood aside, smiling without saying a word. She was also a very intelligent person, so how could she not see through her father's little scheme?
Chengyang was young and looked a little lost, but seeing Xiao Sizi grinning foolishly, she also started to laugh along.
After Xiao Sizi stirred things up, the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became enthusiastic again.
"Mother, she brought a lot of Qi! Fifth Sister, come quick!"
While holding Empress Zhangsun's hand, Xiao Sizi also called out to her two elder sisters. When they arrived at the table and saw the items on it, they all fell silent.
"This one is really good, and this one is really good too!" Little Sizi picked up each item and introduced them to the group as if they were his own treasures.
Princess Changle was alright, but Empress Zhangsun and Chengyang were completely bewildered, just like Li Shimin's initial reaction, all feeling incredibly surprised.
"Sizi, where did you get these things from?"
Empress Zhangsun looked at Xiao Sizi with some concern, took Xiao Sizi's little hand and quickly began to ask her questions.
"This was all bought for me by Brother Lin Fan!" Little Sizi said innocently, but still told the truth.
"Who is this Brother Lin Fan that Si Zi is talking about?" Empress Zhangsun continued to ask. As a mother, she had many more questions to consider. After all, Si Zi was only a three-year-old child, and she would not be able to accept it if something happened to him.
"Lin Fan is really Lin Fan!" Little Sizi had no idea what her mother was worried about; she only knew that Lin Fan was especially good to her.
Seeing that she couldn't get any specific information out of her immediately, Empress Zhangsun quickly turned her gaze to Li Shimin.
"Sizi, introduce your elder sister and fifth sister slowly. Your father and mother have something to discuss!" Li Shimin came to Empress Zhangsun's side, first instructing Sizi, then took Empress Zhangsun's hand and walked out of the hall.
"Okay, big sister and fifth sister, come quick, this is..." Little Sizi didn't care about anything else and started excitedly introducing the product after calling over her two older sisters.
Outside the hall, Wu She had already dismissed his attendants and stood far away himself.
"Erlang, what exactly is going on?" Before they had gone far, Empress Zhangsun hurriedly began to inquire.
Li Shimin looked around to make sure no one was watching before speaking: "Guanyinbi, don't be hasty. I also find this matter unbelievable. The other day... according to Li Chunfeng, Little Sizi might bring an unprecedented opportunity to the Tang Dynasty!"
After listening to Li Shimin's story for a while, Empress Zhangsun was still in a daze. Such a thing was simply unbelievable to her.
Although Empress Zhangsun did not believe in gods and ghosts, Li Shimin's story and the things that Xiao Sizi brought back were clearly far beyond her comprehension.
Empress Zhangsun was filled with worry. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. What if Xiao Sizi disappeared one day and never came back? What should she do then?
"No! Erlang, I want to keep Sizi by my side and take care of her myself. If..." Empress Zhangsun didn't even think about any so-called great opportunity. As a mother, she only hoped that her children would be safe and sound!
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment: "Guanyinbi, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Your health has just improved, and both times Sizi returned safely. Moreover, the man's words clearly showed how much he doted on her. Besides, this is not only an opportunity for our Great Tang Dynasty, but also an opportunity for little Sizi herself!"
