"Once your nephew comes to the table, you'll know whether we can finish all the food, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately glared at Old Li.

"How dare you talk to me like that? You're a big glutton too! It's only been a short while, and you've already downed two bowls of rice!"

"I'm hungry!"

When are you not hungry?

Just as the grandmother and grandson were bickering, Aunt Wu from next door came out with a bowl of egg drop soup.

"Young master, all the dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal with the distinguished guests. Call me when you're done and I'll come and help you clean up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately waved his hand and said...

"Need not!"

"We have so many people here, we don't need anyone to clean up the dishes!"

"Oh dear, they are all nobles in Chang'an, how can we let them do such menial work!"

"Don't be so polite. Just ask, and anyone in the village can help you with this little bit of work."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Wu!"

As soon as Li Jue sat down at the table, Si Zi immediately understood why so many dishes had to be made. It turned out that her nephew was a glutton!

In no time at all, more than a dozen plates of food were reduced to half. If I hadn't taken a few bites first, I probably would only be left with soup by now!

"Nephew, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"

"Your dad's fighting me for him!"

"My father?"

Sizi glanced back at his father, who was eating with his chopsticks at lightning speed, as if he were competing with his nephew to see who could eat faster.

"Father, please eat slowly too, no one is going to take it from you..."

"Look at your nephew! He's already eaten three bowls in such a short time. If I eat any slower, I'll only be able to drink soup!"

Upon hearing this, Si Zi immediately burst into laughter, while Zhang Anan and Xu Hui laughed so hard they couldn't straighten up.

His Majesty usually seems like such a wise and insightful person, but why does he act like a child when he sees his eldest grandson? Hehehe...

Li Shimin finished his meal in a flash, then sat down to sip egg drop soup to aid digestion. Seeing that Li Jue was almost finished eating as well, he said in a muffled voice.

How much homework have you done?

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately lost his appetite and looked at Old Li with a resentful expression.

"Uncle Li, can't you just let me have a peaceful meal?!"

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it after you finish eating!"

"Yuchi Fan, go outside and bring me back ten willow twigs. I bet this bastard is going to get a beating today. We're afraid we won't have enough willow twigs if we don't have enough, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue felt a chill run down his spine. The beating he received last time took a full ten days to heal!

"Nephew, why aren't you eating?"

"I'm angry, I can't eat!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

"Are you too scared to eat?"

"Hurry up and show me your homework. I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you can finish half of it, you'll pass!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he saw that Li Jue still hadn't moved, and asked in surprise.

"You brat, you didn't even finish half of it, did you?"
