After several attempts, Li Shimin had to admit that he was not as good as a two-year-old child in some aspects.
"Sizi," Li Shimin smiled awkwardly, "It seems that Yeye is really not good at this."
The little princess giggled and comforted him:
"Yeah, it's okay. It's always a little difficult the first time you try. Just practice a few more times and you'll definitely be able to do it well!"
As she spoke, she deftly helped Li Shimin adjust the parts in his hands, "Look, this should be placed like this, this wire should be connected like this..."
The little princess was immersed in the pleasure of being a teacher, but Li Shimin experienced the torment of rote learning.
It was obvious that he had not yet learned the previous step, but Xiao Sizi forced him to learn the next step, leaving him no room for thinking.
Finally, Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore. He smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "Sizi, Sizi, yeah, I really can't take it anymore.
This is too difficult, Yeye can't learn it." He said, shaking his head lightly, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing Li Shimin like this, the little princess couldn't help but laugh even more happily.
But she did not seem to take Li Shimin's words as a real giving up, but rather as an interesting challenge.
She widened her eyes and said seriously, “Yeah, do you really want to give up?
But this is really fun! And you’ve done a great job, just keep going and you’ll be done!
As she spoke, she waved her hand and pointed to the unfinished generator.
"Look, this generator is only one step away from generating electricity.
Wouldn’t you like to do it yourself and see that lightbulb go on?”
"No! No!" However, Li Shimin had lost the courage to continue.
He shook his head repeatedly, stood up and hurriedly retreated out of the hall.
It was as if something terrible was chasing him from behind.
The little princess looked at his back with an expression of surprise and reluctance on her face.
"Yeah, how can you give up so easily?" she shouted anxiously.
But Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind and walked out of the hall without stopping.
The little princess stared at the generator parts in her hands, her heart full of unfulfilled interest.
She originally wanted to complete this challenging project with Li Shimin and share the joy of success.
However, Li Shimin had already fled, leaving her alone in a daze.
Li Shimin walked out of the hall quickly and took a deep breath of fresh air, as if to sweep away the depression in his chest.
He looked back and saw that the majestic palace looked even more solemn and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
A trace of regret quietly welled up in Li Shimin's heart. He knew very well that this action would make the little princess feel very disappointed.
But the feeling of being forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge was indeed unbearable for him.
"Maybe I'm really old and not suitable for learning new things." Li Shimin smiled self-deprecatingly and turned away.
In the hall, the little princess was still standing there, holding the generator parts tightly in her hands.
There was a determined glint in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, a sly light flashed in the little princess' eyes, and she called out softly, "Little Chengyang~!"
Little Chengyang was shocked when his name was suddenly called, and his little head immediately shook like a rattle, "Sizi, I'm still a child! I don't understand! I don't understand!"
The little princess nodded in agreement, expressing her understanding, and then she turned her gaze to Empress Changsun who had been watching silently beside her.
"Mother!" The little princess ran over excitedly and took Empress Changsun's hand, "Let's learn how to build a generator from Sizi!"
Empress Changsun looked at her daughter's sparkling eyes and felt both moved and amused.
However, she also knew that she was not good at this kind of hand-made craftsmanship, let alone the complicated generator.
So, she tactfully declined, "Sizi, I know you really want to share what you have learned.
But A'niang really knows nothing about these mechanical things." Empress Changsun smiled and gently patted her daughter's hand.
"Why don't you find some more suitable people to teach, such as the craftsmen in the palace. They will definitely be more interested in this."
After hearing this, the little princess raised her lips slightly, as if she was a little unwilling, "Mother, are you really not going to learn?
This is really interesting, and it can also bring more convenience to our palace."
Empress Changsun smiled and shook her head, "Sizi, Mother knows what you mean, but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
A Niang's job is to take care of you and your brothers and sisters and make sure you grow up healthy and happy.
And you, with your unique talent and wisdom, are able to invent these wonderful things."
Empress Changsun gently stroked the little princess's head and said, "So, why don't you pass on this knowledge and skills to those craftsmen?
How about letting them help you turn these wonderful inventions into reality, bringing convenience and joy to more people?"
After hearing this, the little princess nodded thoughtfully.
She knew that A Niang was telling the truth and understood her difficulties.
So she stopped forcing it and turned her gaze to Li Lizhi next to her.
"Sister Lizhi!" The little princess ran over and took Li Lizhi's hand, "Come and learn how to build a generator with me!
This is really interesting and can bring more convenience to our palace!"
"Sister can't learn it either!" Li Lizhi smiled and shook her head slightly.
Seeing a trace of disappointment flash across the little princess's face, she immediately and skillfully changed the subject.
"Little Sizi, you said you learned all this in the fairy world, right?"
She continued curiously, "Doesn't the fairy world have a lot of light bulbs? How do they solve the problem of copper wires getting electrocuted?"
With this small device rubbed by the little princess' hands, the equally intelligent Li Lizhi quickly understood the principle of generating electricity and lighting.
Isn't it just a steam engine that acts as power, drives the generator, and then transmits electricity to each room through copper wires, finally lighting up the light bulbs.
Well, the principle is quite simple.
"Yes~!" The little princess danced with excitement when she mentioned the fairyland.
"Little Rangjun's house has so many bright lights!"
The little princess described it in a childish voice, gesticulating with her hands.
"In his study, there hangs a large bronze lantern.
The light it emits is very comfortable and does not irritate the eyes, making it great for reading.
That lantern is like a flower, and every petal glows. It’s so beautiful!”
The little princess paused, as if recalling those beautiful pictures, and then she continued:
"There's also a dining area with a sparkling crystal lantern hanging above the table.
The light danced around inside, like magic, making the whole room beautiful and romantic."
