Chapter 131 My dearest daughter!
Chapter 131 My dearest daughter!
It was also thanks to Li Zhi's thoughtful consideration that in order to make it easier to coax his two younger sisters, he specially arranged them both in Li Mingda's room.
In this way, Li Chengqian and Li Shimin saved a lot of trouble and did not have to walk any further.
Li Zhi finally coaxed the two little princesses to sleep.
The maids knew the importance of sleep for the little princesses, so they naturally would not wake them up easily.
So, it was natural for Li Jiming to sleep at Li Mingda's place tonight.
Li Shimin gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in with Li Chengqian.
Looking at the two daughters sleeping soundly on the bed, their rosy little faces looked even more adorable under the candlelight.
Li Shimin's heart melted instantly, filled with love and warmth.
"Xiao Sizi, Ayuan, Aye is here to see you!"
Li Shimin called softly, his voice full of longing and doting.
"I miss you guys so much!"
He didn't care at all whether his actions would disturb his daughters' sweet dreams.
At this moment, all he wanted was to hold his two precious daughters tightly in his arms.
He slowly leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Li Mingda's forehead.
Then, her eyes moved to Li Jiming's chubby little face that looked like a ripe peach. She loved her so much that she couldn't help but move forward and give her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Li Jiming was sleeping soundly, and in a trance she felt something gently pricking her face. The slight stinging sensation instantly woke her up from her sleep.
She subconsciously waved her little hand and slapped Li Shimin in the face.
Li Shimin didn't care at all. Instead, he happily took Li Jiming's hand and placed it on his lips. He gently rubbed and sniffed it, muttering, "Fragrant!"
Li Jiming was completely awakened by this series of noises. She slowly opened her big black eyes and stared straight at Li Shimin, with a bit of confusion and naivety of just waking up.
She grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Aye, don't kiss me! Your Fuzi is too prickly, go kiss your sister!"
As he spoke, he pointed with his little finger at Li Mingda who was sleeping beside him.
Li Shimin extended his finger lovingly, gently scratched Li Jiming's nose, and said with a smile: "You are so bad!"
This laughter woke up Li Mingda who was sleeping soundly.
Li Mingda slowly opened her eyes and dimly saw her father laughing and joking with her sister. She was stunned at first, then rubbed her eyes, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Aye! Is that you? Have you come to see Sizi?"
Li Mingda's voice trembled slightly, expressing his surprise and disbelief after a long separation.
Li Shimin nodded quickly, his eyes full of tenderness and love: "It's me, little Sizi, I miss you so much!"
Li Jiming, who was standing beside them, suddenly perked up when she heard this. She quickly crawled between Li Shimin and Li Mingda, tilted her head back, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Aye, do you miss your sister more, or do you miss me more?"
Li Shimin smiled and stroked Li Jiming's little head, deliberately teasing her, "Of course, Aye misses your sister more!"
When Li Jiming heard this, his face immediately fell, he curled his lips, and without saying a word, he quickly crawled away. He sat alone in the corner of the bed with a sullen look on his face, his back to everyone. He looked so adorable.
"It's cold, don't catch a cold."
Li Shimin reminded him that fortunately Li Chengqian had provided enough charcoal, so the room was still quite warm.
Seeing this, Li Mingda threw himself into Li Shimin's arms, hugged him tightly with both hands, and said in a choked voice: "Aye! I miss you so much!"
"They all said you passed away! But Sizi didn't believe it at all. Sizi always felt that you were still alive, Aye!"
"Only A Yuan believes me! Ah Ye, is Si Zi dreaming and hasn't woken up yet?"
As she spoke, she sniffed the scent on Li Shimin's body intently. It was a unique scent that belonged only to Aye. As long as she smelled this scent, Li Mingda's heart would be surprisingly peaceful.
Ever since hearing the news of Li Shimin's death, Li Mingda has never been able to let go and has always been shrouded in anxiety and longing.
"Of course it's not a dream!"
Li Shimin hugged Li Mingda tighter and whispered to him, "Aye is here, Aye is always here, don't worry, this couldn't be a dream!"
"From now on, Aye will take you all to Xianyang to live with Aye."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian who was standing beside him.
"Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian, why are you standing so far away? Come here and prove to Sizi that she is not dreaming!"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin dimly and said jokingly, "Oh, our old Li finally remembered that he has a son here, right?"
At this moment, Li Jiming's eyes lit up when she saw Li Chengqian. She couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Fang, Brother Fang, do you have any more spicy Lai Tang?" (Note: Li Jiming's pronunciation was unclear due to his young age, so he pronounced "Laitang" instead of "Tang")
Seeing Li Jiming's eager eyes, Li Chengqian's heart softened and he smiled helplessly, "I really did bring some. Normally, I shouldn't give you candy at this time, but today is Chinese New Year, so I made an exception and gave you one."
"Your New Year's gifts have been prepared by your royal brother. You will be able to see them when you go to Xianyang with Aye!"
Hearing there was a gift, Li Jiming jumped up and down on the bed with joy and asked excitedly, "Brother Fang, what kind of gift is it?"
Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously: "Keep it secret!"
Then, he turned to look at Li Mingda and patiently explained, "Little Sizi, Aye was faking his death. He was lying to us. It wasn't a dream. From now on, you will go to Xianyang to accompany Aye and wait for your brother to build Chang'an City to Xianyang!"
Li Shimin also smiled and described the beauty of Xianyang to his two daughters: "You followed my father to Xianyang. You were detained in Chang'an Palace all day long. You are almost suffocating."
"Xianyang is a good place."
"How good?" Li Jiming asked curiously.
"Hehe, let me tell you, little kid, once you go to Xianyang, you won't want to go back to Chang'an!" Li Shimin replied with a smile.
"That's great! Yeah! I'm going to Xianyang!" Li Jiming clapped his hands excitedly.
"What about you, Sizi?" Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda hugged Li Shimin tightly and said firmly: "Wherever you go, Sizi will go!"
"Okay, good girl!"
Li Shimin was moved and hugged Li Mingda again.
"It's hot, yeah."
Li Jiming muttered softly to the side, as if reminding Li Shimin not to forget him.
"You are good too!" Li Shimin responded with a smile, holding both daughters in his arms and enjoying this rare family happiness.
"Aye, let me tell you, I'm still the richest man in Xianyang City! Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you! I won't be stingy!"
Li Shimin said generously.
Li Chengqian, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard what Li Shimin said.
You're being generous to others, aren't you? Old Li!
