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...
Although Li Jue thought it was already quite good to have such a small courtyard in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Anan still felt that Li Jue was being wronged.
His reasoning was simple: Li Jue was, after all, the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how down on his luck he was, he should still be a prince. How could he hang out with peasants every day?
While Zhang Anan was sighing deeply, the father and son hiding inside the house started chatting.
"Uncle Li, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Um!"
"Go with Emperor Li Er?"
Li Shimin glared at the bastard, then nodded dejectedly.
He realized that this bastard was not afraid of being beaten at all. He had beaten him at least three or four times today, but this guy had no memory at all!
"Could you take me with you when you leave tomorrow? I want to go and see..."
"What are you looking at?"
"Let's see what your Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looks like!"
"Since I came to the Tang Dynasty, I have never seen what Emperor Li looks like. I feel like I'm missing out if I don't take a look."
In reality, Li Jue wanted to see what the enemy who had ruined him so badly looked like, but Li Shimin thought that his grandson wanted to see what his grandfather looked like.
"This might be a bit difficult, hehehe..."
"Why don't you take a closer look at me? I'm actually quite handsome, hehehe..."
Li Jue was speechless at Old Li's shameless behavior. Although Old Li was indeed quite handsome, he couldn't compare to Li Jue, who was young and handsome.
“Uncle Li, I’m serious, I really want to go and see.”
"We don't need to get too close, just stand on the city wall and take a look from a distance!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin asked curiously.
What do you want to do after watching it?
Upon hearing this, Li Jue chuckled, thinking to himself, "Of course I'll draw a circle and curse him!"
However, he dared not say such things in front of Li Er's lackeys, lest he be pinned down on the bed and beaten by Old Li's lackey.
"Of course, we'll draw your portrait and then offer three sticks of incense every day to pray for your Tang Dynasty emperor's well-being!"
Upon hearing the tone of his voice, Li Shimin knew that his rebellious grandson was lying. However, since he hadn't uttered anything particularly treasonous, he decided to let him off the hook for the time being.
"All right!"
"I'll make the arrangements for tomorrow, but you're only allowed to stand on the city wall and take a look from afar. As for whether you'll actually see anything, I can't guarantee that!"
Li Shimin said this, but in his heart he was thinking about finding someone to sit on the dragon carriage in his place so as to fool this foolish grandson.
The next day, Li Jue got up early, washed up, changed his clothes, and then eagerly urged Old Li.
"Old Li, hurry up!"
"Hurry up! You have to let me finish my breakfast first!"
"What are you going to eat? Doesn't your emperor provide you with breakfast?"
"We won't provide it!"
The reason Li Shimin was dawdling was mainly because he wanted Yuchi Fan to inform him first and make arrangements in advance.
"Ah, your emperor is really stingy!"
Seeing that Old Li was saying this, Li Jue had no choice but to patiently eat breakfast with him.
Finally, after Old Li had breakfast, the group set off.
Li Jue had been to Xianyang City many times, after all, their Sanglin Manor was right next to Xianyang, and his official residence was still inside Xianyang City.
He simply didn't like Xianyang, and even thought the city was dilapidated.
Therefore, he spent most of his time at Sanglin Manor, striving to transform it into the kind of place he would be in later generations.
When they arrived at Xianyang City, the city gates and surrounding areas were already filled with fully armed knights.
Li Jue was a little scared when he saw this scene. He thought to himself that if even one or two people recognized him, he would be done for!
"Uncle Li, my stomach hurts, so I won't go in..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin knew that this grandson had backed down, but when he thought of how arrogant and domineering he usually was, calling himself "Li Er," he couldn't help but feel furious.
"What about your usual skills?"
"My stomach really hurts!"
"You have to endure the pain!"
Old Li grabbed Li Jue's hand arrogantly and swaggered into the city gate.
During this time, not a single person came forward to ask them anything, and not even a glance was given to them.
"Old Li, what exactly do you do? Why are all these people afraid to look at you?"
Li Shimin chuckled upon hearing this.
"Why do you think they're afraid to look at me? In my opinion, they're the ones who think you're too ugly and dare not look at you, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately curled his lip in disdain.
"Am I ugly?"
"How handsome I am! A dashing and charming man, loved by all, and adored by flowers!"
“yue…”
"You shameless little brat!"
"Then you're a shameless old geezer, hehehe..."
The two of them made their way to the top of the city wall without any obstacles. Li Shimin noticed that Li Jue kept looking in the direction of Xianyang Palace, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"You really want to see him?"
"Um!"
"Actually, I should have remembered him, but I accidentally forgot..."
"Old Li, why are you crying?"
"without!"
"I just got sand in my eyes..."
Li Shimin rubbed his sore eyes hard to wipe away the tears.
He almost burst into tears when he heard Li Jue say, "I accidentally forgot."
It wasn't that Li Jue accidentally forgot; it was clearly his own carelessness as the grandfather that caused the child to get lost...
Just as Li Shimin was immersed in sadness, he suddenly saw Li Jue jump up happily.
