Sky Curtain: My Happy Daily Life Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 14 Taking the Sizi on a Trip!

Lu Chen got up early in the morning.

He glanced over and saw that the little princess was still sleeping sweetly.

The little guy's lotus root-like arms were sticking out, and his little legs were making paddling motions, but his round little belly was wrapped in a blanket.

Lu Chen gently covered her with the blanket and went into the kitchen.

Tie on your apron and get ready to cook!

He can only do simple things.

Normally, we buy food, and only occasionally make noodles or cook porridge.

Take out a tomato and two eggs.

Clang! Lu Chen chopped a tomato and then heated oil in a pan.

People outside the canopy were watching him.

Click! Lu Chen turned on the gas stove.

Suddenly, orange flames flared up.

"Oh! The fire's here!"

"It can be lit with just a gentle twist!"

"How wonderful the future will be! We won't need firewood at all!"

"It's so convenient! So clean! And we don't need a straw shed anymore!"

People from all dynasties gazed at the sky with immense envy.

The men chopping wood looked at their calloused hands, while the women cooking looked at the stove and woodshed in their homes—places they least wanted to set foot in, yet which had confined them their entire lives.

"It's so great to be a modern person!"

Everyone silently cherishes this seemingly unattainable dream.

"The place where modern people cook is no less impressive than the palace! The walls inside even glow! And the furnishings are all exquisitely beautiful!" Qin Shi Huang exclaimed sincerely.

As they watched, someone else noticed something new.

"Why are the young master's soup dumplings dry?"

"The soup noodles are so thin! How are they made?"

"It can be stored for a long time!"

"What is this big red fruit?"

"It looks delicious!"

"Even prettier than an apple!"

"..."

For a while.

Little Sizi rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed with Happy Sheep. His nose twitched first—a sweet fragrance was wafting in from outside the door.

"Daddy?" she called out in her childish voice. Her little feet had barely touched the floor when she was picked up by a pair of warm hands.

Lu Chen smiled and helped her onto a chair: "You're awake? Let's wash our faces and brush our teeth first. Then we'll try the noodles your brother made."

"Gurgle gurgle..." The little guy's toothbrush made rainbow bubbles with a whoosh.

Splash! Splash! The little face is washed clean.

"Now, your brother will comb Xiao Sizi's hair. However, your brother can only do a simple ponytail." Lu Chen picked up the newly bought pink comb.

"Brother, what does a ponytail look like?" Little Si asked curiously.

"It's like a horse's tail!"

"Oh. Wokji Island~~" Little Sizi blinked her big eyes and waited obediently.

After several clumsy attempts, Lu Chen finally managed to comb a reasonably decent ponytail.

Lu Chen tied Xiao Sizi's hair with a fluffy tulle hair tie, which came with the dress she bought.

"Come on, let's look in the mirror."

In the mirror, Xiao Sizi shook her head back and forth, her short ponytail making the little princess look exceptionally lively.

Outside the canopy, everyone was staring at Little Sizi.

"Wow! The little princess is so beautiful!"

"Modern clothes look so good!"

"A princess is still a princess! She remains as noble as ever!"

"Modern hairstyles look great too."

"Shall we give it a try?"

A group of girls started to move.

They gathered in the courtyard, under the big tree, or in the fields, and began to braid each other's hair.

"I understand!" Ying Zheng exclaimed. "Modern people pursue simplicity and convenience. But people can still be beautiful! People have energy, which should be used for more important things! Issue the order! All men and women in our dynasty may emulate the hairstyles and clothing of modern people!"

Empress Ma looked on with a smile, saying, "How beautifully the little princess is dressed!"

"It's a pity that our dynasty doesn't have such good-looking materials!" Zhu Yuanzhang said regretfully.

"Tomorrow, I will also try out the little princess's hairstyle. Clean and neat, refreshing."

"Sizi, dinner's ready!"

Lu Chen brought over two bowls of noodles, each topped with a cloud-shaped poached egg.

"Hey! This soup dumpling looks so pretty! The soup is so red! The eggs are so yellow! And there's even some green stuff!" Little Sizi fell in love with the chicken leg at first sight.

"Brother, it's so good!" Little Sizi slurped down a big mouthful of noodles.

"Sizi, eat slowly, chew it thoroughly," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Pot...this noodle is so sweet and sour...and the egg is so good...so fragrant..." Little Sizi mumbled as she ate.

"Yes, brother, there's lots of delicious food here. Let's eat slowly. There'll be delicious food every day."

"Thank you, bro, nice to meet you~" Little Sizi had juice stuck to her lips, but her eyes were squinting into a line with a smile.

"You're welcome. You're such a cute little boy." Lu Chen took out a tissue and gently wiped the little guy's mouth.

After feeding the baby, Lu Chen quickly started eating as well.

"Burp~~" The little princess let out a burp.

The little guy immediately covered his mouth with his little hands and then hurriedly glanced at Lu Chen.

When Lu Chen looked at the little guy, he thought he looked just like a little mouse stealing food.

"Burp—" Lu Chen deliberately straightened his back and let out a big, long burp.

"Hahaha..." Little Sizi was amused and immediately put her two little hands down.

The little one's belly was round and full; she ate a whole bowl of noodles and an egg!

"Hahaha! Hiccups are normal! Now, I'm going to fart, so go away or you'll get the smell." Lu Chen put away the dishes and quickly went into the kitchen.

"Hahaha... This kid is really clever!" Zhu Yuanzhang was amused and laughed heartily.

"Chongba, watch your manners," Empress Ma reminded him.

"Oh! Yes, yes, I'm used to being spontaneous." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly steadied himself.

Meanwhile, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun had just finished watching Lu Chen feed Xiao Sizi and were filled with gratitude. When they saw Lu Chen making himself look ugly to ease Xiao Sizi's embarrassment, they were so grateful that they almost shed tears.

"Come on, let's wipe your mouth." Lu Chen took a tissue and wiped the little guy's mouth.

Lu Chen turned on the TV for the little guy, and then washed the dishes himself.

Lu Chen had already planned today's activities; he wanted to take Xiao Sizi out for a trip.

He knew that children needed to exercise outdoors, and that staying at home every day like him was not good.

Actually, Lu Chen also likes to go out and play. It's just that no one used to accompany him. Now that he has a baby, he has a reason to go out and play.

"Sizi, let's put on our new shoes, and your brother will take you out to play." Lu Chen took out the white squeaky shoes.

"Mmm~~ I want to wear the squeaky shoes~~" The little guy happily stretched out his chubby little legs.

"Let's put on our socks first." Lu Chen took out the newly bought white lotus-trimmed socks, thin stockings, which looked like a big flower bud when rolled up.

Suddenly, Lu Chen unfolded the small stockings and put them on Xiao Sizi.

Tap! Tap! Two little feet slipped into clean white socks.

Someone outside the celestial canopy was shocked again.

Especially the princess's sisters.

"Wow! Sizi looks so beautiful in modern socks! The ankles look like flowers have bloomed! And they're even studded with white pearls!"

"These socks are as thin as cicada wings! They fit the shape of your feet perfectly! It's like you're not wearing socks at all!"

"I want one too!"

"These socks will keep you cool in the summer!"

Countless young women under the heavens were all captivated.

Who wouldn't want their feet to feel comfortable, cool, and beautiful?

Women of all ages dream of owning a pair of such socks.

These socks make my feet look so beautiful!

"So delicious! So smooth and slippery!" The little ox kicked its little feet, feeling wonderful.

"Come on, let's put on our pretty new shoes and go out to play!" Lu Chen smiled as he helped the little one put on her modern shoes and then put a chubby pink water bottle on her back.

Alright! A brand new little princess has been born.
