In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Jue, who transmigrated and became the son of the废太子 (cancelled crown prince) Li Chengqian, secretly returned to the longed-for Chang'an from Qianzho...
"This old servant congratulates Your Majesty on enjoying the bliss of family life with your grandchildren!"
"Hehehe..."
Even after Li Jue returned, Li Shimin still sat on the bed, chuckling to himself.
He had never had such an experience before. After all, there were plenty of people to serve him in the palace, and it was never his own children's turn to wash or wipe his feet, let alone his grandchildren.
Therefore, Li Jue's subconscious act of wiping his feet had deeply touched him, giving him an indescribable experience.
Zhang Anan looked at the emperor, who was grinning foolishly, and secretly felt happy for Li Jue.
That child's effort in wiping his foot was absolutely worth it; in two years, he'll at least be able to snag a princely title from His Majesty!
The next day, Li Shimin woke up in bed when the sun was high in the sky.
He looked around and saw that the area was empty; that grandson of Li Jue had long since disappeared.
"Ananda!"
"His Majesty!"
"Where is my eldest grandson?!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson has gone to work at the reservoir!"
"oh?"
"well!"
Li Shimin sighed regretfully. If he weren't afraid of revealing his identity, he would have really wanted to conscript laborers to dig the reservoir for Sanglin Village!
"What time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, it is already 9:00 AM."
"What?"
Why didn't you wake me up sooner?
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you sleep so soundly in many years. I really don't want to disturb you!"
"Uh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin recalled what had happened yesterday, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday either..."
"That shouldn't be the case."
"This servant was listening at the door. His Majesty started snoring loudly after midnight."
Li Shimin complained irritably upon hearing this.
"You have no idea how restless this child is in his sleep. One minute he's draped his arm over his shoulder, the next his thigh, and he sleeps so soundly that even when I spank him, he doesn't react!"
"ah?"
"Your Majesty is exhausted, hahaha!"
"Who says otherwise? But this chubby grandson is quite comfortable to hug, hehehe..."
The Ministry of Personnel of the Taiji Palace in Chang'an.
Changsun Wuji was discussing current affairs with his subordinates when he suddenly saw Li Zhi walk in. He immediately ended the boring meeting and invited Li Zhi into his duty room.
"Your Highness, what brings you here? Have you encountered some trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi shook his head and then revealed a secret that shocked Changsun Wuji.
"Uncle, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"What's up?"
"It seems Father Emperor left the palace yesterday and didn't return all night..."
"this……"
