Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

After returning to his own bedroom, His Royal Highness the King of Chu handed the food box in his hand to Yao Ji, who was on duty at night, and asked, "How is your mood?"

"Your Highness... Chengxin is in the inner hall..." Yao Ji was halfway through his words when suddenly a crisp voice came from behind the screen: "Second Brother!"

"Little Sizi?!" Upon hearing the voice, His Royal Highness the King of Chu hurried to the inner hall, only to find that Sizi and Zhinu were sitting on his bed. The two little guys were each covered with a slightly thin brocade quilt and were looking at him happily.

"Ah... Zhinu is here too." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he quickly came to sit down beside the bed. He first glanced at his younger brother who had come to join the group, then picked up his younger sister Sizi who opened her arms to him and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

"My mother said that Sizi was very well behaved today, so she rewarded Sizi by letting him play with her second brother!" In response to her brother's question, Princess Sizi answered in a very clear and concise manner: "My young slave insisted on coming along..."

“Hahaha…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this: “Chinu, you really are just making up the numbers?”

"Brother, I miss you too!" Li Zhi was a smart kid since he was young: "Well... I want to play hide-and-seek with you!"

"You little brat... who did you learn this skill of talking about anything?" Upon hearing this, Prince Chu couldn't hold back any longer: "To be honest, if you were a little older, I would have beaten you eight hundred times!"

"That's right, after the New Year, you'll be ready to be beaten, Zhinu." - As His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, the fat green bird of the old Li family, our Prince of Wei, walked in from outside at some point: "Second brother, my mother asked me to take Zhinu and Sizi back."

"At this point..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment: "Should we wait a little longer?"

"Then I'll go tell my mother." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei said nothing and immediately prepared to turn around and leave.

"Fourth brother, don't go!" When Princess Sizi heard that her hateful fourth brother was going to go back and complain, she immediately stretched out her little hand from her second brother's arms to keep him from going.

As the Emperor and Empress's most beloved youngest daughter, Little Princess Sizi knew all too well what would happen next - it wouldn't be long before her mother would come in person to take her and Zhinu away.

"Alright, little Sizi, I'll tell you and Zhinu a bedtime story, and then we'll go back to sleep." After giving Li Tai a look that said "enough is enough", His Royal Highness the King of Chu wrapped his sister back in the quilt, and then said gently, "What story do you want to hear, Sizi?"

"Sizi doesn't want to listen to stories." Unexpectedly, the little princess suddenly put her head on her brother's chest and said, "Sizi just wants to stay with her second brother for a while..."

"Sizi is so good..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu lowered his head and kissed his sister's hair. Then he suddenly smiled and said with relief: "As expected, our little Sizi is the most lovable."

"Brother, I want to hear the story of Sun Wukong!" In such a warm moment, Zhinu, who was standing by, proved why "just staying alive is enough" for a younger brother - his mind was now full of the hero he had been thinking about day and night: "Can you tell me and Sizi the story of 'The Birth of the Stone Monkey' again?"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu put away his complicated emotions. He then called Li Tai, who looked a little sad at the moment, to his side and said, "Qingque, come here and keep an eye on Zhinu. I'm afraid this kid will get excited and flutter around on the bed."

"Second brother..." Li Tai knew that his second brother was reminding him not to lose his composure in front of his younger brothers and sisters, so he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this little slave, and she will definitely be very well behaved."

"Chengxin, go tell my mother that I will send Sizi and Zhinu back later." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to tell a story to his brothers and sisters with a smile: "It is said that a long time ago, there was a place called the Great World with four huge continents..."

As His Royal Highness the King of Chu described vividly, a clever, courageous, and unyielding "Spiritual Stone Monkey" gradually emerged in everyone's mind...

After a long time, the story was finished and Zhinu fell asleep in the arms of her fourth brother.

"Let's go, accompany your second brother to send the two little ones back." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu carefully checked Sizi, who was also sleeping in his arms, to see if the quilt was wrapped tightly on him. Then he used his eyes to remind Li Tai to pay attention to the young slave in his arms. Then the two brothers slowly got up and sent their younger brother and sister back to the main hall one after another.

But halfway through the journey, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was walking behind, suddenly discovered that his sister in his arms had woken up at some point.

"Second brother..." Being held in her brother's arms, the little princess felt warm all over: "Sun Dasheng jumped out of a stone...but where did Sizi come from?"

"Sizi..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was stunned at first, and then a scene from his childhood suddenly emerged in his mind. It was a midsummer night in Longyou, when he and his grandmother were enjoying the cool in the courtyard. It seemed that he had asked this question before...

At this point, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly knew how to answer: "Sizi was originally a fairy boy living in the sky, living happily on a particularly shining star. Because he saw the second brother and felt that the second brother was lonely, he jumped down from the star with a thought, and then the second brother took a lot of effort to catch him..."

"Is that so..." Princess Sizi seemed very satisfied with this answer: "But second brother, why can't I remember all this?"

"One day in the future, when Sizi is as old as my second brother (when Kuan'er is as old as my grandmother), you will remember it..."

So... then Kuan'er should not grow up, so that grandma won't get old...

You are such a fool... so foolish that it makes your grandmother feel bad...

Hehehe...Kuan'er is not stupid...Kuan'er is the smartest!

OK, OK... Kuan'er is right, grandma's little Kuan'er is the smartest...

Some conversations seemed to be lost in the cool evening breeze of the Wude period.

But until today, many years later, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu recalled the scene at that time, looking at the innocent and lovely sister in his arms, his vision was blurred for a moment, but then he tried his best to hide the grief in his heart, and reached out to gently smooth his sister's brows that were wrinkled because of curiosity: "Be good, Sizi, go to sleep quickly..."

"Hmm..." Feeling the gentle touch of her second brother, the little girl responded sweetly. Then, as she felt sleepy, she yawned lightly, then put her hands to her face and closed her eyes again...
