Fusu pursed his lips, carefully picked up the jade rabbit, and stroked its ears, saying:
"Did you have a fight with the Moon Goddess? If you just run off like this, she'll be sad if she can't find you."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Rabbit kicked its legs wildly, its two long ears perked up anxiously, and it shouted loudly:
"What do you know, kid? Chang Xi won't be sad at all. After beating Xiang Liu, she had nothing to do for a while, so she forced this Jade Rabbit to lose weight!"
"Is this reasonable? I'm the Jade Rabbit! A rabbit! Aren't rabbits cuter the fatter they are? Making a rabbit go on a diet? Is this something a god would do?"
Fusu tried his best to hold down the wriggling jade rabbit, but he was too weak. The jade rabbit was a heavy lump of flesh that he couldn't hold down.
He was a little annoyed that his clothes were all wrinkled, and, unwilling to admit defeat, pressed the jade rabbit to his chest and said:
"Losing weight? How can a rabbit lose weight by eating grass? Does the Moon Goddess forbid you from eating so much grass every day?"
The little eunuch standing to the side glanced at Fusu silently, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. This jade rabbit likes to eat meat.
Sure enough, the Jade Rabbit said triumphantly:
"This Jade Rabbit is a unique species of rabbit, born powerful. I can eat whatever I want. Chang Xi, you wish you could make me eat grass. I love meat the most!"
He then grabbed Fusu's clothes at the chest and urged him on:
"Let's hurry! Changxi and the Flower Fairy have arranged to go to the South China Sea to gather spiritual flowers for making clothes, which is why I was able to sneak out."
Fusu nodded, picked up the jade rabbit, and prepared to return to his palace. His idea was simple: the Moon Goddess was out on business, and it wouldn't be good for the jade rabbit to run around. He would take care of it himself for the time being.
But—the Jade Rabbit's fur is so soft!
The young eunuch hurried after them, and overheard the Jade Rabbit arrogantly making a request:
"Bring all the meat to this Jade Rabbit later. I want to gain three pounds and make Chang Xi furious!"
……………………
The eunuch who brought the news ran all the way to the palace where the King of Qin was, and stopped panting.
Not long after, he anxiously found Zhao Gao and was about to speak, "Zhao..."
"etc"
A large group of people came over, led by a beautiful concubine who was holding the hand of a richly dressed little boy.
"Please inform His Majesty, Your Majesty, that I and Prince Gao have arrived."
After saying that, he smiled and said to the little boy, "Gao memorized one of the poems from the Book of Songs yesterday and kept saying he wanted to show it to his father."
Young Master Gao was handsome and nodded vigorously upon hearing this, his expression full of admiration.
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, and his smile became even more reserved. Prince Gao was the king's second son. Although his mother was just a commoner from Qin and of low status, she was fortunate that there would be no burdens on her family.
Even though he wanted to offer some goodwill, Zhao Gao didn't presume to agree. Instead, he planned to go in and mention it to the king.
The young eunuch was pushed aside, and seeing that Zhao Gao didn't even glance at him, he was extremely anxious.
That's the Moon Goddess's Jade Rabbit!
Zhao Gao entered the inner palace and saw Ying Zheng just putting down the bamboo slips in his hand with a smile on his face. He knew that something good was about to happen.
Feeling even more confident about the matter, he quietly recounted the story of Prince Gao and his mother requesting an audience while tidying up the bamboo slips he had just read.
"Let them in."
Ying Zheng was indeed in a good mood. Li Xin was indeed a born general. His words before the expedition were not exaggerated. In just half a month, he had captured several cities of Chu.
When his second son came to see him, he was also interested in seeing him.
The beautiful lady and her son Gao dared not delay and quickly left, unaware that someone had sneaked in behind them.
Before they could speak, the young eunuch suddenly appeared, knelt down with a thud, and cried out in a trembling voice, "This servant has important news to report to Your Majesty!"
Those around him were shocked, but Ying Zheng remained calm and gestured to the guards not to act, waiting for the eunuch to explain the situation clearly.
Even Ying Zheng could no longer maintain his composure, and he abruptly stood up, demanding, "Did the Jade Rabbit really run off to Fusu's place?"
The young eunuch glanced at the young master and others, feeling a surge of pride for Prince Fusu.
"I personally witnessed the Jade Rabbit speak human language, saying that it wanted Prince Fusu to raise it."
After confirming the news, Ying Zheng immediately went to Fusu. It's no wonder he did this; ever since the Xiangliu Rebellion ended, no matter how he called out, the Moon Goddess had never appeared.
What made him even more eager to find the Moon Goddess was that, since drinking the Emperor's Elixir, he could feel that he had more energy every day.
In the past, dealing with political affairs for a long time would always cause discomfort in various parts of the body, but now that's no longer the case.
He can sit for two extra hours a day to correct bamboo slips!
As far as he knew, the dancer who was now a guest of honor among the powerful and wealthy in Xianyang was also like that.
Ling Xiao kindly tells you that the most cost-effective item in the All-Star System is the Energy Potion.
—I guarantee you can outshine other celebrities, you only need to sleep three hours a day, honey.
One bottle will last for a month.
Ling Xiao likes to do things impulsively, like a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving people baffled. But it's only when the results come out that you realize none of her efforts were in vain.
With the King of Qin in front, the little eunuch followed closely behind Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao did not drive him away, but he was somewhat flustered.
Could it be that Prince Fusu is truly blessed with good fortune? Despite his precarious position, the Moon Goddess Jade Rabbit has suddenly appeared and shown his affection for him.
Zhao Gao decided to be more cautious in his actions from now on, tilted his head, and gave the little eunuch a warm smile.
The beautiful lady and the young master Gao were left in the hall, at a loss, unsure whether to leave or stay.
………………
When Ying Zheng and his entourage arrived at Fusu's palace, this was the scene that greeted them: Fusu and the Jade Rabbit each occupied two tables.
Before the Jade Rabbit were all kinds of meat, including beef, mutton, chicken, duck, deer, roe deer, and so on. The Jade Rabbit devoured the meat with an imposing and unrestrained spirit.
