Chapter 32 Li Shimin almost broke down
Looking at the watermelon in her hand, Xiao Sizi felt incredibly happy. She recalled her mother's praise from earlier and felt extremely proud, not only of her but also of Lin Fan.
Just as she was about to put the watermelon into her mouth, she suddenly felt as if she had forgotten something, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't remember anything.
"Hmm, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's eat watermelon first!" Then she put the watermelon into her mouth.
Li Shimin stood silently behind Xiao Sizi, watching as Xiao Sizi picked up another slice of watermelon. His anticipation grew even stronger. However, to his surprise, Xiao Sizi stared blankly for a moment after picking up the watermelon and then started eating it!
"This...!" Li Shimin clutched his chest, three black lines instantly appearing on his forehead.
"Cough...cough cough!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but cough a few times in an attempt to attract everyone's attention, but unfortunately, his three little cotton-padded jackets and his beloved Guanyin maid were all focused on the watermelon in his hands, and no one noticed him.
"Crack!" In a daze, everyone in the hall seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, but no one paid any attention.
This is because Lin Fan specially bought a thin-skinned watermelon. The flesh is juicy and the skin is very thin. The only drawback is that it is much smaller than a normal watermelon.
Little Sizi quickly finished a piece, even swallowing the thin outer skin, and then sucked all the juice off her fingers.
"This watermelon is so good!" Little Sizi was still savoring the taste when she vaguely felt as if a figure was standing behind her.
She turned her head and saw Li Shimin with a sullen face.
"Hehe, Dad, why aren't you eating watermelon? Don't you like it?"
Little Sizi looked at Li Shimin with a smile, but when he saw Little Sizi's innocent big eyes, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest again!
"Hehe! Father has no appetite, you eat, Sizi!"
"Really? This watermelon is really good, Daddy, is it really good?" Little Sizi didn't understand the meaning behind Li Shimin's words at all, and was thinking of confirming it again, but her little hand had already unconsciously reached for the remaining watermelon.
"Erlang, this melon is truly a rare delicacy. It's not only sweet but also incredibly thirst-quenching. You should try it!"
At this moment, only Empress Zhangsun saw through Li Shimin's bravado.
"As expected, Guanyinbi is the one who knows how to care for me!"
"Eat, why won't you eat, Father!"
Seeing the others enjoying the so-called watermelon, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and thought, "What a load of bull! Get out of here!" He picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.
"No wonder they all ignore me. This melon is truly delicious!" Li Shimin thought to himself, even closing his eyes to savor it carefully at the end.
Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This man is good in every way, except for his stubbornness!
After everyone finished eating the melons in their hands, there were now three pieces left on the table.
Although Li Shimin really wanted another bite, seeing his three daughters' still unsatisfied expressions, he said, "There are three pieces left on the table. You three girls can divide them up!"
Empress Zhangsun nodded in agreement, thinking to herself, "Although she's stubborn, she can't help but be soft-hearted!"
Seeing that his father and mother had both nodded, Xiao Sizi immediately handed the two pieces to Chang Le and Cheng Yang, and then picked up the last piece and ate it himself.
Seeing how happily the three children were eating, Li Shimin's gaze couldn't help but fall on the pile of fruit, thinking to himself, "If the watermelon is already this delicious, the rest must be just as good!"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin walked over to Xiao Sizi and squatted down: "Sizi, there are still several kinds of fruit over there. Would you like to eat something else?"
Li Shimin wore a conman's expression, but Xiao Sizi had no idea what he was thinking. In addition, she also wanted to try other fruits, so she nodded without thinking.
"Okay!"
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Li Shimin immediately took Wu She and went forward to select the fruit. After looking for a long time, his eyes fell on the strangest-looking fruit in the pile!
Wu She carefully placed the fruit she was holding on the table. The sharp thorns on its surface looked rather frightening to Zhuo Shi. Indeed, Li Shimin had chosen durian!
Little Sizi was sucking her fingers when she saw the durian on the table and immediately pulled Chengyang and Changle forward together.
"Rhinoceros, what is this again? It looks really scary!"
Chengyang looked at the durian's spiky exterior with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
"This thing... seems... seems to be Lianlian?" Xiao Sizi reached out and gently pressed on the spikes of the durian, then immediately withdrew her finger.
"Lianlian? What a strange name! Even in our vast and resource-rich Tang Dynasty, we have never seen such a strangely shaped fruit!"
Li Shimin stroked his beard; the only reason he chose durian was because "it looks strange!"
"I don't know much about it! This is what my brother said!" Little Si didn't know how to explain, so she could only throw the pot at Lin Fan. "It's okay, no matter how weird it is, as long as it tastes good!"
The group gathered around the durian and studied it for a while, but they couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that there was no other way, Li Shimin could only send out a signal via radio with a glance. Wu She received it in a second and turned to look at the little eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch was already eager to try it, after all, the watermelon he had eaten before was already so delicious, and he couldn't even imagine what the rest would taste like.
However, after studying it for a long time, he still didn't know how to start. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that there seemed to be some cracks on the surface. He could only grit his teeth, pick up the durian, and forcefully break it open. Unexpectedly, he actually managed to open it.
However, before the onlookers could even rejoice, a strange smell quickly entered their noses. Even Empress Zhangsun, who was standing at a distance, couldn't help but frown when she smelled it.
Upon seeing this, Li Shimin and Chang Le covered their noses and quickly retreated, while Xiao Sizi and Cheng Yang seemed not to notice anything unusual and remained where they were.
However, the young eunuch was not so lucky. Because he was closest, he almost vomited. Seeing the young eunuch's loss of composure, Wu She stepped forward without changing his expression, grabbed him, and dragged him out of the main hall.
"What...what is this thing?! The smell is so...so...!"
For a moment, Li Shimin couldn't find the right words to describe the flavor.
"Xiao Sizi, Chengyang, what are you two standing there for! Come here quickly!" Chang Le called out to the two little girls who were standing there looking confused.
Xiao Sizi and Chengyang exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled. They couldn't understand why their older sister and father had retreated so far away, since the thing smelled so good!
"Sister, Father, aren't you all here?" Little Si asked curiously, pointing at the durian.
Chang Le: Shakes head 1.
Li Shimin: Shakes his head 2 times.
"Hey you guys aren't Qiwo and Wujieqi anymore!" she said, pointing her finger at the durian.
Seeing Xiao Sizi's actions, the three people in the distance, who were covering their noses, were horrified: "No! 3!"
