If Li Er (Emperor Taizong of Tang) is considered the god of archery in the Tang Dynasty, then no one in the Tang Dynasty would dare to doubt it.

Holding a broken bow, he could sweep away all his enemies; only Li Er could do that.

However, the archery skills of the Li family were passed down through generations. His father, Li Yuan, was selected through the "Peacock Screen Selection" method, shooting the eye of the peacock on the screen, and successfully married his wife, who then bore him three outstanding sons.

The sons of the Li family may not need to learn anything else, but they must specialize in and master the art of archery!

Therefore, when Li Shimin taught Li Jue archery, he was extremely patient and held nothing back.

After all, the only one who can inherit the Li family mantle in the future is this eldest grandson.

"Come on, give it a try, but don't even think about hanging the bowstring. Just try practicing the movements once!"

Li Jue's stubborn nature wouldn't allow him to just try. However, after several attempts to string the bow, he was unable to bend it into the right position and had no choice but to give up in the end.

Li Shimin watched from the side and burst into laughter.

"I told you long ago, you brat, not to hang the bowstring! But you insisted on being stubborn, hahaha!"

"Uncle Li, I never expected this bow to be so strong..."

"You seemed to have it so easy when you were stringing the strings, but it's so difficult for me..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin slapped his grandson on the head in an annoyed tone.

"Naughty!"

"How old are you? How old is Grandpa? How dare you compare yourself to me!"

"That's all for today. Tomorrow morning, your grandfather will teach you other techniques!"

"Okay!"

After dinner, Li Shimin had just coaxed Li Jue to sleep when he secretly rode away...

The next day, Li Shimin, unsteady on his feet and yawning constantly, instructed his grandson on archery.

"yawn……"

"Your movement was incorrect. Practice it three more times!"

"oh……"

"Grandpa, where did you go last night?"

"ah?"

"I didn't do anything! I just went back to Xianyang to take care of some business!"

Li Jue asked with a puzzled look on his face.

What happened that made you so tired?

Li Shimin blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this and kicked Li Jue in an annoyed manner.

"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs!"

"Is it something for adults?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue's eyes darted around, and then he nodded.

"Understood!"

Just then, Hu Delu passed by the village entrance, and Li Jue immediately ran over and whispered a few words to him.

"My lord, are you sure you want to buy so much?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Go ahead and buy it. If Old Li can't finish it, share it with the villagers!"

Hu Delu was delighted upon hearing this and happily went to Xianyang City to make purchases.

At first, Li Shimin was quite puzzled, wondering what his grandson wanted to buy.

When it was lunchtime, seeing the stir-fried pork kidneys, grilled pork kidneys, stewed pork kidneys, and boiled pork kidneys on the table, his old face could no longer hold back.

Why did you get this thing?!

"I just wanted to give you something nourishing..."

"I……"

Li Shimin raised his hand to strike, but after thinking about it, he reluctantly withdrew it.

"You brat, even if I'm a little weak, I don't need that much, do I?"

"Take your time eating, hehe..."

Li Shimin was quite annoyed by these words. Fortunately, Xu Hui soon brought out several normal dishes, otherwise he would have gone hungry at noon.

For the next few days, Li Shimin stayed in Sanglin Village, teaching Li Jue for ten days until he had mastered all the archery techniques, before reluctantly leaving.

Li Jue personally escorted Old Li to the village entrance, asking with a face full of reluctance.

"Uncle Li, when will you come next time?"

Li Shimin thought for a moment and then sighed helplessly.

"It'll probably take at least two months, right?"

"Two months...does that mean I can't celebrate your birthday?"

"oh?"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson with considerable surprise upon hearing this.

You still know my birthday?

"certainly!"

“I noticed that Sister Xu embroiders something every day. I asked her about it, and she said it was for you, and she planned to give it to you for your birthday…”

"Oh oh oh..."

Li Shimin was slightly disappointed when he heard this. This child had finally forgotten everything about his grandfather.

"What, you brat, you want to give me a gift?"

"Um!"

I'd like to bake you a cake myself, but I don't know how to present it to you!

"How will you give it to me..."

After a moment's thought, Li Shimin understood what his grandson meant.

After all, from beginning to end, Da Sun didn't know his true identity or his exact address.

However, this did not stump Li Shimin; he simply rolled his eyes and came up with a solution.

"Just send someone directly to Da'an Palace!"

"Da'an Palace?"

"That's the Prince Qin's Mansion that I took you to last time!"

"Oh, I understand!"

"Just say it's for my grandfather, Li Dechong, and someone will hand it over to me!"

"good!"

Li Shimin boarded the carriage and left, but every now and then he couldn't help but lift the curtain to take a look. When he saw his eldest grandson still standing at the village entrance, his eyes would sting with tears.

Even so, it still couldn't stop him. Only when the carriage turned a corner and he could no longer see his grandson standing at the village entrance did he lower the curtain and lean against the carriage wall with tears streaming down his face.

"Father, if you really can't bear to part with him, then take your nephew back to the palace and raise him yourself!"
