Fu Zi quickly thought for a moment and then ordered the eunuchs behind her to fetch the fishing gear.
Emperor Jingyuan watched as the Emperor and Empress began fishing, their affection evident. Azi had never fished before, except for a dream that Yimeng had taken her to the river to catch fish in the village. Therefore, she wasn't very good at using a fishing rod, and Emperor Jingcheng was patiently explaining how to use it to her, personally demonstrating it to her several times.
Then he taught her how to fish from behind, and Azi followed his instructions and movements attentively, successfully casting the fishing line. She held the fishing rod and waited for a while, but the rod didn't move, obviously no fish had taken the bait.

Azi noticed the commotion and looked on with envy. Then she saw Di Jingyuan catch several big fish in a row. She was extremely distressed, frowning as she looked at the still calm water. Why couldn't she catch any fish?
