"Everything will work out in the end, don't worry too much." Qin Zhao comforted him.

Fortunately, the young emperor was always afraid of him. Although he often wrote letters urging him to return to the capital as soon as possible, he did not dare to force him. Moreover, Qin Zhao had not abandoned the court affairs during his absence. Without his and the empress dowager's interference, the young emperor had grown rapidly and was gradually making a name for himself in political affairs.

From this perspective, it is a good thing for Qin Zhao to leave the capital at this time.

"I'm not worried."

A flash of red light flashed in the water, and Jing Li's upper body transformed back into human form. He casually threw on his robe and reached for the cake beside Qin Zhao. He took a bite himself, then broke it into pieces and fed it to the two cubs beside him. "I've made up my mind. If Xiao Xiaoyu doesn't transform into a human form by the time he's one year old, I'll send him back to Yunguan Temple. Let him cultivate there well, and when he becomes a human, I'll bring him back."

Jing Li smiled and said to Xiao Xiaoyu, "Is it okay?"

The little fish was originally eating a snack with its mouth open, but when it heard Jing Li's words, the whole fish was frightened and looked up at Jing Li in a daze.

"No!" another voice shouted in a baby voice, "Daddy, don't send my brother away!"

The little fish swam anxiously around Jingli's tail.

Jing Li continued to tease the cub: "Then you have to teach your little brother to transform into a human quickly. He can't learn to transform into a human, so we can't take him away."

Little Fish: "I will teach you!"

"Alright." Qin Zhao couldn't bear to watch any longer and interrupted, "Daddy was just joking. He won't send my brother away."

The little fish cub obviously no longer believed these words. He hummed softly, "I'll teach him a lesson today!"

After saying that, he didn't even eat the snacks. He swam to the little fish, arched his head over his brother's body, and swam away quickly.

It was as if he was afraid that his father would take his brother away.

The house was small, consisting of three courtyards. A pond ran through the inner and side courtyards, and there were rockeries and stone bridges. This was why Qin Zhao had fallen in love with the house at first sight.

The little fish boy quickly swam away, dragging his brother with him. Jing Li finished the remaining cake and said excitedly, "The little fish boy didn't even want to eat it. It seems that he really loves his brother."

Qin Zhao was helpless: "You bully children all day long, and then you scare them to tears. Aren't you the one who feels bad?"

"Sons are meant to be played with, aren't they?" Jing Li sat on the stone steps beside the pond, his tail swaying nonchalantly on the surface. "I think it's because I and the little fish always turn into fish to play with him that the little fish doesn't want to turn into a human anymore. If I scare him, maybe he'll actually learn how to turn into a human."

That is possible.

The little fish cub has liked the human form since he was a child. Even though he could only be a baby with limited mobility after transforming, he rarely turned back into a fish.

Although Qin Zhao felt that the little fish probably just thought that he could eat more delicious food in human form.

Little Fish is completely different. Perhaps because his father and brother often play with him, this little guy really likes the feeling of being a fish and chases and plays with his brother in the water every day.

"If Xiao Xiaoyu doesn't want to become a human, there's no need to force him," Qin Zhao said. "If all else fails, just lie and say you're sending the child to foster care somewhere else. It shouldn't be hard to hide it from outsiders."

"Just pamper him..."

Qin Zhao chuckled. He leaned forward slightly and pinched Jing Li's cheek: "Among these three koi fish at home, which one is not pampered by me?"

"I haven't seen how much you dote on me." Jing Li muttered softly.

This is a huge injustice.

It is well known that the former regent and current prince dotes on his husband. In the whole world, I am afraid that only Jing Li dares to say this openly.

Qin Zhao knew her husband was acting like a spoiled child again, so she didn't argue. She leaned back on the recliner and waved, "Come here, I'm going to pamper you now."
