Chapter 426 Chapter 426 Is it an instinct for a carp to leap over the dragon gate? ...
Lou Ling looked at the cub in the pool and it reacted happily after a while.
It seemed like the coaxing was successful, and Lou Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
The young boy, who was not even ten years old, rolled over and didn't care that his clothes got wet.
He easily crossed the water to the little cub and took a look at the fat golden-red koi.
The little fish didn't seem unhappy and even nudged his arm with his little head.
The little guy's head was round and cool, and the feeling of hitting him was a bit strange. He swung his tail in the water and blew out a bubble.
Although Lou Ling had not felt good about the little fish falling into the water a few times before, he had to admit at this moment that it was still a fish after all, and it was not so full that its belly turned upside down. It was still more flexible in water than on land.
The little fish swam in front of him from time to time, occasionally turning its head to look at him, and flicking its tail -
Come on, come on, why aren't you following me?
The little fish became a little more lively in the water, mainly because it was awake, and the whole fish became much more active.
The water is not deep and there is water flowing through it. This is a man-made landscape and was left over from the previous dynasty.
It is divided into several levels, and the water is drawn from the springs in the mountains and forests near the upper capital. In the first stage, the palace servants will draw water there - this is the usual source of drinking water in the palace. Going down, it is divided into grids by marble and various natural stones like stairs. Some are planted with water flowers, some are raised with ferocious aquatic creatures, and there is also a section like the one that passes through the Imperial Study and the Suwu Palace - for the sake of viewing, there are some harmless ornamental fish here, such as koi.
But at this moment, the koi in this part of the pond had long disappeared. Some of them were hiding under the shade of trees and rocks, or under a small pavilion not far away, poking their heads out to look at this side.
No one would mistake the little fish for other koi.
First of all, the little fish did not suffer for too long.
At this moment, he is still a round and fat little koi.
Its entire body is a circle larger than the surrounding koi, and it has obviously become fatter and rounder due to being fed by Su Wu these days.
Besides, his color is too rare.
Koi is a symbol of good fortune.
They are also widely raised among the people. Red koi are common, white koi are common, there are also colorful koi with ink flowers, or simply completely black koi.
Golden koi are rare here.
Not to mention the golden red color of the little fish.
He glowed brightly in the dazzling sunlight, like a burning flame suspended in the water. In the dark, it was easy to see the golden light flowing on the red scales - it was very textured and could bring an indescribable shock to those who saw this scene for the first time.
It's like real dragon scales.
It's so unique that apart from being afraid of it being accidentally snatched away, I'm not worried about losing it.
Lou Ling follows behind the little fish.
In the water, he was not slow and he did not look awkward while wading through the water.
At this age, Lou Ling's black hair is still relatively short. It is just tied up high, and the length is just to the back of her head. As the satin headband sways, when she falls into the water, water splashes up and lands on Lou Ling's face and hair.
There were a few strands of unruly black hair stuck to the sides of the boy's face, but he didn't care too much. He stared at the golden-red koi that was swimming hard in front of him without blinking.
He watched as the little fish swam to the edge of the stepped pool—
There is a drop above, and the water is flowing down. In this area, only the water splashes here and there are noisy. Few fish gather here nearby.
The little fish popped its head out and was splashed all over the face.
I could see him gulping down the drink and he was almost full.
Lou Ling reached out and took the little fat fish back.
Is that about right?
Is it time to swim back?
Just as Lou Ling was thinking this, he saw the little fish gathering strength, suddenly swinging its little tail, and its chubby little body leaping up - it was about to hit the edge of the opening where water flowed out of the previous pool.
Building age:……?
What are you doing?
What is this for?
Do you want to make a leap from a carp to a dragon?
There's no use for you here except knocking your head!
What's going on? The legend of the carp leaping over the dragon gate - does it make koi fish more likely to have this characteristic, wanting to jump when they see a chopstick?
Lou Ling picked up the little fish and put it back into the water.
Little Jinyu fell back into the water in a daze, spit out a bubble in confusion, then popped his little head out and looked at Lou Ling.
Lou Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it done? Almost done?"
We're going to swim back.
After careful consideration, the little fish understood in his head: Are you ready? Have you rested enough?
We are going to prepare for the second jump.
Yu Yu received it!
The little fish turned around and swam back for a distance.
Lou Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and that was when he relaxed his vigilance.
The little cub turned around, swung its tail quickly without hesitation, and jumped out of the water in a whoosh.
Building age:……?
But fortunately, this time the running-up... oh, no, the swimming-up distance is a little farther, so the little guy won’t hit the platform.
Lou Ling stretched out his hand in a daze to make sure that the little fish would not be hit. He did not chase it in a hurry. He watched the golden-red little guy that even reflected light in the sun fall into the pool on the upper floor.
The chubby little body splashed countless water.
Soon, the little golden-red koi fish was already clinging to the water outlet, looking at him.
Lou Ling clapped his hands instinctively - awesome, awesome! Although the difference wasn't huge, considering the little fish's current condition, it was indeed impressive.
But there is still a problem -
I only realized it after the building is old. Wait a minute, what is in the pool on the upper floor?
It looks like a fish-eating...big turtle?
The next moment, Lou Ling jumped over the platform in shock to protect the fish.
But in the eyes of the palace servants on Li De's side, all this was a bit exciting.
At first, they were content to see the little prince finally willing to move around more and run around the yard with Master Xiaolou.
As a result, after finishing the work in hand, he looked up again - the little prince and Master Xiaolou were gone.
All that was left was the clothes that had fallen beside the pool.
Li De:?
Li De was in a daze for a moment, but then he immediately calmed down - it's okay, the little prince is a fish, and the pond is quite shallow, so nothing will go wrong.
Li De was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
I watched as a small golden-red koi fish jumped across the surface of the water and landed on another surface.
Li De: ...
Wait a minute——
Your Highness is going to feed the turtle...
Before Li De could react, Lou Ling quickly climbed over.
Li De: Your Highness and Master Xiaolou are going to feed the turtles!!!
He ran over in a hurry.
"Alas, young prince, Master Xiaolou—it's not a very cool day, why do we have to go down to this pool?"
Lou Ling was also a little embarrassed. He climbed over again and his clothes were even wetter. But the little fish was encouraged. The chubby little koi was running towards the next 'Dragon Gate'.
Lou Ling used his own strength to scare away the big turtles waiting for an opportunity around him and drove them to the distant edge of the pool or the turtle platform in the center. He was now determined to go all out.
Go swimming, it’s good to get more exercise.
Generally speaking, nothing will go wrong as long as he is watching.
Moreover, there are people cleaning here every day, and the water is running, so it won’t get dirty.
"Manager Li, go and do your thing. I'll take care of Yuyu."
Lou Ling looked up, reached out and casually rubbed his face, then turned to look at the little koi.
After the little fish swims a distance, he needs to rest for a while.
I don’t know what he is thinking about writing all day long in his little head.
"Then, I'll leave it to Master Xiaolou."
Seeing that the turtles did not dare to come forward, Li De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing the little fish trying hard to accumulate strength, it flew up and crashed into the water above, and Li De did not follow it.
He instructed the hurried palace servants behind him to take care of everything, as they would have dinner soon.
Today, His Majesty is entertaining envoys from the North Sea and is not dining with the young prince.
All they need to do is prepare the little prince's meal.
They have to pay attention to some details.
So as to avoid making His Majesty unhappy.
Oh, but speaking of it, it is said that a banquet is being held to entertain envoys from the North Sea.
But in fact, even Li De knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet set up by His Majesty, who was already itching to deal with this group of big demons and evil spirits and had never really dealt with them.
Just wait for them to let down their guard, know everything they want to know, and then close the door and beat the dog.
Everything today is a test.
Li De shouted from a distance.
"Master Xiaolou, remember the meal time and bring the little prince back for dinner!"
As Li De spoke, he looked at the clothes by the pool and called out to the palace maid behind him.
"You two should take the little prince and Master Xiaolou's change of clothes and follow. Although the weather is warm, it will still be cold after coming out of the water. Be careful not to catch a cold again."
It's one thing for them to feel distressed, but if His Majesty feels distressed too and takes his anger out on others, that would be a bit scary.
"yes."
The palace maid behind him responded quickly.
They left quickly to find their clothes and follow.
Li De finished arranging this and was about to turn around and take two steps into the palace when he suddenly realized something and turned his head to look over.
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, how far are they going to swim out?"
As mentioned before, these pools are separate areas with different drops, connected by artificial mountain spring water, similar to rivers and streams.
The whole way through the Dasheng Palace.
Still here now—
But if you swim up section by section——
Li De frowned subconsciously.
He weighed it.
He was not quite sure whether Lord Xiaolou knew exactly the direction of the river - after all, Lord Xiaolou had not stayed in the palace for such a long time before the young prince came.
The river flows straight up and just passes by the palace where guests are entertained. There are all kinds of aquatic flowers growing there, which are just about to bloom at this time of year.
