Li Shimin had long anticipated that Li Jue would not obediently do his homework, but he never expected that this brat would dare to run away when he heard that he was coming!

"Father, has this child become so naughty?"

"You can argue with that! It's driving me crazy!"

"What's there to worry about? Just guide them properly, hehe..."

Li Shimin was so angry when he heard this that he blew his beard and glared.

"If you're so capable, try guiding me!"

"We've tried hitting and scolding this kid, but he just won't listen!"

When Sizi saw her father so angry at a child of only a few years old, she immediately burst into laughter.

While the two were talking, Yuchi Fan came over carrying Li Jue.

"Master, I have successfully completed my mission and brought the young master back!"

Although Si Zi already knew who she was going to meet, she was still slightly shocked when she first saw Li Jue.

Because Li Jue was so tall and fat, almost as tall as her!

If I remember correctly, this child is only eight years old this year, right?

What did he eat to grow so strong?

Just as the Sizi's face was filled with question marks, Li Shimin immediately let out a fierce dragon roar.

Why are you running?!

"I didn't run away! I just wanted to tell the aunt next door to hurry up and cook for you!"

"Hmph!"

"Can't you use the front door?"

"I was just thinking that using a VPN would be faster, hehehe..."

When Li Shimin saw this grandson's shameless appearance, he had the urge to beat him up. However, he thought he was too tired these past two days and simply didn't have the strength to do so, so he spared his life for the time being.

"Come over here quickly and identify the person!"

Who is it?

Li Jue quickly noticed the little girl next to Old Li and immediately called out in a clear voice, "Sister."

"Uncle Li, is this your granddaughter? She's so beautiful, hehehe!"

"You've got the wrong name, I'm your aunt!"

"Auntie?"

Li Jue looked at Old Li, then at the little girl in front of him, and found it hard to believe that Old Li had such a young daughter.

"Old Li, you're in great shape! You can still have children at your age!"

Li Shimin could no longer hold back when he heard this. He grabbed Li Jue by the collar and kicked him twice in the buttocks.

"No respect for elders! Who are you calling Old Li?"

"Uncle Li...Uncle Li, I was wrong, please spare me..."

Li Shimin only put him down after seeing his grandson beg for mercy.

"Quickly bow to your aunt!"

"This junior greets my aunt!"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi quickly took out a gold hairpin from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Jue's hand.

"Since this is the first time your auntie has met you, I really don't have any presentable gifts. I'll give you this gold hairpin to use when you get married in the future, hehe!"

"this……"

Upon seeing that it was a gold hairpin, Li Jue knew it was valuable and immediately looked at Old Li beside him.

Seeing this, Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Li Jue in annoyance.

"Your aunt gave it to you, so you should keep it carefully!"

"Old Li, this item is far too valuable..."

"precious?"

"Can anything more expensive be more valuable than the title of nobility I'm giving you?"

"Just keep it, our family isn't short of gold!"

Seeing how arrogant Old Li was, Li Jue put the hairpin into his sleeve and then greeted his aunt again.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Don't thank me so much. Your aunt has plenty of this stuff. If you really want to express your gratitude, just cook a couple of dishes for your aunt to try!"

Sizi was greatly surprised to hear this.

"ah?"

"He can cook?"

Li Shimin chuckled upon hearing this.

"Not only do they know how, they cook it exceptionally well!"

"And the stewed chicken we had before, hurry up and have someone prepare a big pot of it. I came here hungry!"

"Okay!"

Li Jue agreed and then went out to call people over to help.

Soon, about ten village women arrived. Some helped pick vegetables, some helped start a fire, and some helped wash pots and pans.

Actually, the pots and pans were already clean, but they were washed again with clean water to show respect to Li Shimin and his entourage.

Half an hour later, various dishes were served one after another, including the mushroom stewed chicken that Hu Delu had ordered to be made.

Seeing that all the dishes were served, Li Shimin couldn't wait for Li Jue to sit down and started eating, which made Si Zi chuckle to himself.

She knew her father well; he wouldn't eat ordinary people's food, much less test it for poison before eating it.

This shows that the emperor trusted his eldest nephew completely, even more than he trusted his elder brother Li Zhi.

"Auntie, why aren't you eating?"

"I'm not as impolite as your grandfather. How can the host not sit at the table while the guests eat first? Hehehe..."

"Auntie, you're being too polite. We're all family, so why talk about host and guest?"

"That's well said!"

"I am his grandfather, how can a grandfather wait for his grandson to sit at the table? Hahaha!"

"Nephew, you should eat it while it's hot!"

"No rush, there's also an egg drop soup, it'll be ready soon. I'll eat after all the dishes are served!"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi looked at the dozen or so dishes on the table and said with a pang of heartache.

"Nephew, there are only a few of us. Can we finish all this food?"

Li Shimin chuckled upon hearing this.
