Qin Mubai hugged Li Mingda and sat there all night.
The little girl hugged his neck tightly. Qin Mubai tried several times to put her on the bed to sleep. As soon as he put her down, she woke up. She refused and had to be held in his arms to fall asleep peacefully.
At dawn the next day, Li Shimin, who was rushing to go to court, took a detour and went to Penglai Hall first. When he walked into the palace gate, he saw Qin Mubai holding Li Mingda and dozing off, with his eyes closed but his head tilted up and down like a pendulum clock.
, trying hard not to let myself fall asleep.
"Mu Bai, I'm really sorry for you..." Li Shimin walked forward quickly and whispered.
"Your Majesty... please forgive me for the inconvenience of getting up and not being able to salute." Qin Mubai hugged Li Mingda and said in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter." Li Shimin sat down next to him, turned to look at the sleeping Li Mingda, a loving yet sad smile bloomed on his face, and he chuckled, "She has grown so big, and she has never been with me.
I’ve slept in my arms before! I didn’t expect that I would let you sleep like this all night long.”
"Wei Chen is also helpless." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "I tried to put the princess down several times, but she would wake up as soon as she was next to the bed and would not sleep until she was hugged."
"Hey... Sizi, it's really heartbreaking. It's not just me, it's also you." Li Shimin said with a hint of guilt.
"Father..." Li Mingda didn't know when he woke up and called softly.
"Sizi, my Sizi... come here and let father hug you!" Li Shimin smiled happily and extended his hand to Li Mingda.
"My child, don't... Father is going to court, don't wrinkle the dragon robe." Li Mingda was still lying on Qin Mubai's shoulder, grinning with a pair of small tiger teeth, and said with a naughty smile.
"You girl!" Li Shimin happily came up and kissed her little face.
"Oh, my father's long beard tickles me so much!" Li Mingda chuckled, then held Li Shimin's cheeks with his left and right hands respectively, kissed him on the face, and said, "Father, hurry up and get up.
Oh my God, I'm going to be late!"
"Father is not going to court today! Father wants to accompany Si Zi!" Li Shimin said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"No, my father!" Li Mingda touched Li Shimin's face and said with a smile, "My mother always said when she was still alive, the king has to go to court. There is nothing more important than national affairs. My father cannot do it alone for the sake of his son.
, not going to court."
"You are really my good daughter, my sweetheart - come here, give me one more kiss from your father, and he will go to court!" Li Shimin laughed heartily and kissed Li Mingda's pink face.
One bite.
"Giggle, it's so itchy! Father, please go quickly!" Li Mingda waved his little hand, signaling Li Shimin to leave quickly.
"Okay, the father has left." Li Shimin stood up with a chuckle, nodded to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, I will leave Si Zi to you. I will return to the harem immediately after I have dealt with the affairs of the court.
.Thank you for holding on a little longer and waiting for me to come back."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, please go to court with peace of mind, as long as there are some minor ministers here!"
"Good go, Father!" Li Mingda waved his hand and smiled brightly.
Li Shimin left, but Li Mingda was still in Qin Mubai's arms, raising his head and blinking at him with a pair of smart eyes, and asked curiously: "Village Chief, don't you want to sleep?"
"Of course the village chief also wants to sleep!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Why do you ask that?"
"But, you hugged me all night last night, so you must not have slept. Are you very sleepy now?" Li Mingda said a little worried.
"Village Chief, I'm not sleepy. I actually fell asleep yesterday, just when you were asleep." Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Really?" Li Mingda blinked, "But how can a sleeping person hug someone else? He will definitely be thrown to the ground!"
"Haha, because I am the village chief, so I am different! Even if I fall asleep, I will not throw you down!"
"Wow! The village chief is great! From now on, I will be hugged by the village chief to sleep every night, so I won't be afraid of anything!"
