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...
"You admit it now?"
"That girl just said that this was written especially for me!"
Seeing that his lie had been exposed, Li Shimin stopped hiding it and earnestly persuaded him.
"Grandson, this is all we can do for you right now. You must study hard and not let your grandfather down!"
Li Jue lay on the bed, tilting his head to look at Old Li, and only spoke after a long while.
"All right!"
"Since you're so kind, I'll reluctantly learn it!"
When Li Shimin saw that this guy dared to act tough with him, he was immediately displeased. He ripped off the blanket, exposing the naked Li Jue to the light of day.
"You little brat, how dare you act so high and mighty with me!"
"You memorize it right now!"
"Kneel down and carry it!"
"If you can't memorize it, I'll beat you up tonight!"
Li Jue hurriedly reached out to grab the blanket, but Old Li was prepared. He pulled the blanket behind him and then sat down on it.
"Old Deng, at least give me some clothes!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately glared at Li Jue with an unfriendly look.
"What does Old Deng mean? Are you insulting me, you unfilial grandson?"
"No, no, no... 'Old Deng' is a respectful title. Only highly respected elders can be called 'Old Deng'!"
When Li Shimin heard Li Jue say this, although he knew that Li Jue was just fooling him again, he was too lazy to argue with him.
"Don't call me Lao Deng anymore. If you dare to call me that again, I'll spank your ass!"
"As for your clothes, the set you were wearing has already been taken to be washed."
Li Jue was so angry upon hearing this that he wanted to curse.
"Who's so diligent as to wash my clothes for no reason?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Jue with surprise and asked in confusion.
"Big grandson, you don't just have that one set of clothes, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue lowered his head in embarrassment.
"No, that's not it. Actually, I had another set, but Aunt Wang from next door took it to wash when I left..."
Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, but when he thought about how this guy had been so generous in building houses and making new clothes for the villagers, yet ended up with no clothes to wear, he found it amusing.
"Since you've already showered, you might as well stay naked, hahaha!"
"You unfilial grandson, you have tens of thousands of strings of cash in your hands, but you don't even think about making yourself a few more sets of clothes?"
"Uncle Li, you don't know this, but I've grown so fast these past two years that the clothes I make become too small within a few months, so I dare not make too many..."
"Oh, I didn't expect you, my little rascal, to be so frugal..."
At this point, Li Shimin couldn't help but yawn widely, then dismissively shooed Li Jue into a corner.
"I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap. You kneel in the corner and recite your lessons obediently!"
"You're not allowed to sit down until you've finished reciting it!"
"Old Li, I'd like to sit down, but can my bottom really hold up..."
"Oh, I almost forgot, hahaha..."
"Then you'll have to kneel down and recite the text. I'll test you when I wake up in a bit. If you can't answer the questions, see how I deal with you!"
"Hmph!"
