Jiang Feng didn't hold back his praise and stepped forward to pinch the rabbit ears on her hat.

Little Sizi was overjoyed and jumped off the bed, running barefoot to the full-length mirror by the bathroom door.

She takes pictures from the left and right, and occasionally wiggles her little bottom, striking various cute poses.

"Hehe! I'm a little bunny! A little bunny who loves to eat meat!"

Looking at their daughter's innocent and carefree appearance in the sky, Emperor Taizong of Tang and Empress Zhangsun both showed incredibly loving and comforting smiles.

"Guanyinbi, look how happy Sizi is. Although the clothes of this world are a bit strange in design, even incorporating the features of wild animals into the garments, they still look quite charming on our Sizi."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled, the gloom in his eyes finally dissipating.

Empress Zhangsun nodded with tears in her eyes and a smile.

"Yes, as long as she can live peacefully and happily in this unfamiliar future world, I can rest assured. That Young Master Jiang Feng is indeed a thoughtful and considerate person."

As night deepened, the noise from the night market outside the window gradually subsided.

Jiang Feng looked at the time and it was almost 11 p.m., which was a very late time for a child.

"Alright, little bunny, it's time to go back to your nest and sleep. Tomorrow we're going to set up a stall to sell delicious crispy pork and other tasty treats."

Jiang Feng walked over, picked up Xiao Sizi, and put her on the single bed with clean sheets.

Little Sizi obediently lay down, letting Jiang Feng pull over the thin blanket that smelled of sunshine and laundry detergent and cover her with it.

"Little Nangjun, where are you sleeping?"

Little Sizi poked half her head out from under the covers and looked at Jiang Feng standing by the bed, asking a question.

Jiang Feng pointed to the empty floorboards beside the bed.

"Your brother is an adult, so he can sleep on the floor. You should sleep in the bed."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng walked to the door and pressed the switch on the wall.

"Smack."

The bright, glaring incandescent light in the room went out instantly.

Just as Xiao Sizi thought she was about to be plunged into darkness and instinctively wanted to shrink into the quilt,

Jiang Feng then turned on a small nightlight that was plugged into the socket by the bedside.

It was a small, orange lamp that emitted a very soft and warm light.

It only illuminates a small area near the bed, but it dispels the fear brought by the darkness and adds an extremely warm atmosphere to this small room.

Jiang Feng took out a moisture-proof mat and a spare old quilt from the cabinet, spread them out on the floor next to the bed, and then lay down on them fully clothed.

The room fell completely silent, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

For Xiaosizi, this was the most incredible, exciting, and longest day of her life.

She ate the most delicious meat in the world, saw glowing star tubes, wore a soft bunny outfit, and experienced a magical warm bath.

As the excitement and novelty gradually faded in the quiet darkness of the night.

The most primal emotion, hidden deep within the heart of a four- or five-year-old girl, began to surge forth like a tide.

Xiao Sizi lay on her side, using the faint orange light of the nightlight to look at the silhouette of the strange older brother lying under her bed.

This was not the Taiji Palace she knew. There were no palace maids keeping watch at night, no soft silk quilts, and most importantly... her father and mother, whom she relied on most, were not here.

A profound sense of loneliness and fear suddenly enveloped the young Tang Dynasty princess.

A layer of mist quickly filled Xiao Sizi's big eyes.

She sniffed, trying hard not to cry out, but warm tears still silently slid down her cheeks, wetting her pillowcase.

"Slurp..."

In the quiet room, a very faint sob could be heard.

Jiang Feng, who had been planning his stall setup for tomorrow with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and immediately sat up.

By the light of the night lamp, he saw the little figure on the bed curled up into a tiny ball, its two little hands gripping the edge of the blanket tightly, its little shoulders twitching.

Jiang Feng's heart clenched. He quickly stood up, half-kneeling beside the bed, and asked softly, "Little Sizi? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's gentle voice, Xiao Sizi could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart.

She turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Jiang Feng, her small lips trembling, her voice thick with sobs:

"Little Nangjun... I... I miss Father and Mother..."

"I want to go back to Taiji Palace... My mother pats me to sleep every night... I'm scared..."

Large tears rolled down her rosy cheeks, her pitiful, tearful appearance would break even the most hard-hearted person.

At the same moment, in the Tang Dynasty era.

A cool night breeze blew across the square of Taiji Palace.

When Empress Zhangsun heard her daughter's helpless and longing sobs coming from the sky, her maternal defenses collapsed instantly.

"My little rhinoceros! My little rhinoceros!"

Empress Zhangsun let out a mournful cry, as if she had lost all her strength, and collapsed to the ground, her hands gripping the bluestone slabs so tightly that her fingernails bled.

"That's a piece of my flesh!"

"She was so young, alone in that strange land a thousand years later, without her parents by her side. How scared and helpless she must have been..."

Empress Zhangsun burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Li Shimin's eyes were also bloodshot at this moment, and his eyes were filled with hot tears.

The Heavenly Khan, who had never flinched in the face of thousands of troops on the battlefield, now felt his heart breaking as he looked at his weeping daughter in the sky.

He suddenly pulled out the Emperor's Sword he had just picked up and slammed it hard against the jade railing beside him, sparks flying everywhere.

"Damn you, heavens! How long are you going to torture me?! Come at me if you dare! Give me back my rooster!!"

Li Shimin roared to the sky, his voice filled with the despair and helplessness of a father.

The entire court of officials knelt below, none daring to raise their heads; only faint sobs echoed in the night wind.

Modern time and space.

Jiang Feng looked at Xiao Sizi, who was crying her heart out, and was momentarily flustered.

He was just an eighteen-year-old freshman who had never been in a relationship, let alone put a child to sleep.

But he knew that what the little girl needed most at this time was a sense of security.

Jiang Feng took out a tissue and gently wiped away Xiao Sizi's tears.

Then, he sat down on the edge of the bed and gently patted Xiao Sizi's back, which was wrapped in the blanket.

One stroke at a time, the rhythm was very slow and gentle, just like what Empress Zhangsun had done before.

"Little Sizi, be good, don't cry, don't cry."
