Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the day of the autumn hunt arrived.
Li Ke woke up early that day.
"Ah! You, why are you up so early today?”
Water Deity was woken up by Li Ke's actions when he got up.
She squinted her eyes at Li Ke's back and asked in a daze.
"Today is the Autumn Hunt. Every prince has to participate in the hunt. Although I don't pay much attention to this thing, I still have to go and brush it off. If you're sleepy, sleep for a while more! I still have to gather in the imperial court!”
Li Ke turned around and scratched Water Deity's nose before turning around and walking out of the bedroom.
In the main hall, a group of maids and eunuchs were already wiping their armor, longbows, and other items.
"I don't need this longbow, and I don't need any weapons either. Just prepare some armor for me.”
Li Ke looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were carefully working and trying their best not to make a sound. He casually picked up a longbow and a spear and tried it out in his hands.
Ever since he had the two martial techniques, Hundred Steps Piercing Poplar and Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, he had some understanding of weapons.
After testing the weight and quality of the weapons in his hands, he realized that the weapons purchased by the royal family were not as good as the rewards given by the system.
"But Your Highness, without weapons! This autumn hunt, you…"
The young eunuch respectfully walked to Li Ke's side and whispered.
For the past three days, Li Ke had brought Water Deity around the palace every day. Sometimes, he would even go outside to play.
And this little eunuch would always wait on him from behind.
In just these three days, he had received a lot of money.
Therefore, he was even more respectful towards Li Ke now.
A prince like Li Ke, who could casually reward a large ingot of gold with twenty taels of silver, was the only one in the Imperial Palace.
"Don't worry, there's no need to pack the horses. Just pack the armor for me.”
After Li Ke said this, he changed his clothes under the service of the palace maids and walked towards the court.
Today, all the princes over the age of fourteen had come to the front of the hall.
Other than these princes, there were also many sons of high officials.
Since Li Shiming had gained power through the use of guns, he paid more attention to the combat effectiveness of the army.
Under his lead, these ministers, even if they were the children of the aristocratic families of civil officials, would at least have some skills.
This autumn hunt had become a grand occasion for young people like them.
As long as they won the Autumn Hunt, they would be rewarded by Li Shiming.
As for his princes, they hoped to showcase themselves through the Autumn Hunt and increase their status.
"Greetings, Your Highness Wu Wang!"
"Good morning, Your Highness Wu Wang!"
"Your Highness Wu Wang, you look very confident today!”
...
When Li Ke appeared on the drill ground outside the Imperial Court, many sons of officials who were not familiar with Li Ke took the initiative to greet him, and Li Ke returned the greeting one by one.
Ever since Crown Prince Li Chengqian fell from his horse and Li Tai was imprisoned, the ones who had the most hope of succeeding the Crown Prince were Li Ke and Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was the son of a legitimate heir, and although Li Ke was a concubine, he was talented and capable.
In addition, Li Ke's style had been very strong in recent days. He had faced Zhangsun Wuji, an important official in the court, many ministers had seen some signs. Therefore, they would also give some instructions to their children. Although they did not have to deliberately curry favor with Li Ke, they should not become enemies with him.。
Therefore, many of the sons of the neutral ministers began to show their goodwill to Li Ke.
These people didn't support him, Li Ke. They were just trying to get familiar with him.
"Big Brother Ke!"
"Your Highness Wu Wang!"
After Li Ke dealt with the sons of the ministers one by one, Li Ke finally welcomed his own time.
Qin Huaidao and Chen Chuliang immediately ran to his side.
"How is it? That old thing didn't give you any trouble last time, right?”
After Li Ke saw the two of them, he immediately asked about their situation.
"Hehe, that old thing didn't find trouble with us, but that bastard Zhangsun Chong brought people to block us every day. If I hadn't run away quickly last time, I would have been beaten up by that guy!”
When Chen Chuliang mentioned what happened last time, he suddenly became excited.
When he thought of Zhangsun Chong's face that was darker than Yuchi Jingde's, he laughed until his body trembled.
"Your Highness, don't worry! Both of us are fine now. After we went back, not only did my father not reprimand me, but he even praised me!”
Qin Huaidao's words implied that his father had already agreed for him to stand on his side.
Li Ke patted Qin Huaidao's shoulder.
"Old Master has good taste and foresight. It seems that I have to pay a visit if there's a chance!”
Just as Li Ke was about to exchange a few pleasantries, a crisp voice sounded from behind him.
"Imperial Brother!"
When Li Ke heard the voice, he turned around and found a little girl standing behind him.
A long blue dress paired with a simple hairpin made the little girl look lively and unusually cute.
"Beauty? Why are you here? Isn't today the day of the autumn hunt? What are you doing here?"
Li Ke looked at Li Lizhi who was standing behind him and couldn't help but reach out to pinch her toot little face.
"Aiya, Imperial Brother, you're so bad. I'm going to tell Imperial Father that you pinched me!”
Although Li Lizhi said so, she held Li Ke's hand and refused to let go.
The smile on his face became even brighter.
"Hehe, Imperial Brother, Imperial Father said that I can also follow him to the Autumn Hunt this time! At that time, if Imperial Brother doesn't get into the top three, I will laugh at you in public!”
Li Lizhi looked at Li Ke with a smile, as if she was showing off that she could participate in the autumn hunt.
"Hehe, then you probably won't have the chance to laugh at me. I've already reserved the first place of the Autumn Hunt!”
Li Ke said as he reached out to pinch Li Lizhi's little face again.
"Haha, some people are really not afraid of the wind hurting their tongues!”
Just as Li Ke was showing off his confidence as a brother to his cute little sister, a very discordant voice sounded beside them.
