The bright and clear pearl—got it!

The long-lost system sound rang again, like the sound of nature, and Li Yu was so happy that he almost flew away. Of course, King Jing was still in front of him, so he had to restrain himself and could not abandon King Jing and enter the system.

The night-shining pearl should be of no use to him at the moment when the mission was completed. Li Yu could not keep holding the pearl. He originally wanted to put the night-shining pearl down, but King Jing and Wang Xi had been gathered in front of the blue and white porcelain fish tank, looking at him with burning eyes.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu felt that if he dared to throw away the night-shining pearl at this moment, he might be stabbed to death by the tyrant's eyes.

King Jing must have thought that he liked this pearl very much, so he gave it to him, right?

He had just apologized, saying that the pearl could not be thrown away, and that he had to pretend to like it, but it was so sour to

hold it in his mouth all the time... Li Yu thought about it, put the pearl at the bottom of the tank, and shyly pushed it with his mouth. The round pearl rolled forward twice and stopped. Li Yu continued to push it with his mouth, pushing it far away.

Just like playing football, Li Yu comforted himself and had a lot of fun.

"Your Highness, look, you rewarded the little thing bead, and the little thing likes it very much. It is rolling the pearl."

And the little carp jumped so happily just now, and it knew how to catch the night-shining pearl from the master's hand. Wang Xi was very excited.

Well, although the pearl that was rolled was worth a fortune, Wang Gonggong felt sorry for the concubine.

The night-shining pearl was chased and played by a small carp. The clear light and the silver-gray fish shadows intertwined, which was a rare wonder.

King Jing smiled faintly. It was true that the little fish wanted the pearl.

Li Yu rolled the pearl all the way to the corner, pretending to be tired and wanted to rest, and spread it on the white stone bed and entered the system.

Sure enough, the reward prompt for completing the side quest came to his face.

Li Yu suppressed his excitement and read the instructions for using the transformation potion carefully. Just as he was about to confirm the receipt, he suddenly had an idea and remembered something.

The bottle containing the medicine was simple and engraved with patterns that he could not understand. Although it looked small, if he took it directly, where would he, a fish, put the medicine bottle?

Could it be that the medicine bottle floated in the clear water in his personal space?

... It seemed a bit ecstatic.

Li Yu quickly calculated and asked the system: If I don't collect it immediately, will the transformation medicine disappear?

System: "No. The reward for completing the task will always be there."

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction: Very good, then I will keep this reward first, and when I need it, I will collect it and use it directly!

System: "..."

Li Yu found that he seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Even if the capacity of the portable space is not large enough, it does not prevent him from using this smart method to keep things that are not very urgent. I am always cheated by the system, it is not bad to cheat the system once in a while!

At first, he was so happy when he heard about the transformation potion. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this potion could not be used casually. There was no such person as him in the original book world. If he suddenly appeared in human form, it might cause unnecessary commotion. Moreover, the transformation could only last for one hour. The timing of the transformation and what to do were very important. He had to plan in advance and find a suitable retreat, so as not to turn back into a fish in front of the public, which was also inappropriate.

Anyway, there was no need to rush with the potion in hand.

Li Yu closed the "Bright Pearl" mission with great enthusiasm, checked the main line again, and immediately wilted again.

The countdown for "Getting Along" was still decreasing, reminding him that there was less than a day left before the final deadline.

If he could not complete this step of the main line, even if he got the potion, he would not have the opportunity to use it.

Li Yu: It's already this late, and the system that cheated me didn't even give me a hint. Doesn't it feel guilty?

System: "The system is heartless. Please patiently complete the task."

Li Yu: "..."

I knew this was an emotionless system.

Li Yu exited. It was late at night and the night pearl was still emitting a faint fluorescent light, illuminating the celadon fish tank as if it were daylight.

Li Yu put the water grass quilt on the night pearl to cover the light of the night pearl, yawned, and fell asleep leaning against the night pearl.

When he woke up again, Li Yu smelled the scent of ink. Not far away from him was a row of fish food that he had hidden to give to King Jing.

King Jing didn't touch his gift. If the gift couldn't be given away, it would go bad if it was kept for a long time. Li Yu had to solve it himself.

After eating the fish food, he thought of the unfortunate main line. Did he have to wait for the timeout?

Impossible. He had to see what King Jing was doing, and then get involved himself, trying to have some interaction. It was better to make a mess than to make no effort.

Li Yu could hear King Jing's movements in the room, but the blue and white porcelain fish tank was a little high for him. If King Jing didn't come over on his own initiative, it would be difficult for him to see him.

Li Yu secretly gathered strength in his tail. He was now very skilled in using his tail and was very good at jumping out of the fish tank. This time he wanted to grab the edge of the fish tank and stay on top of it, instead of just taking a look and falling back to the bottom. This was a new move, and he had never practiced it before. Moreover, falling down and grabbing the fish tank also required good coordination of the fish body and fins, and he didn't seem to be able to do it yet.

King Jing, who was writing at the desk, heard a slight sound, and the little carp jumped up, flicking its tail.

King Jing had seen carp wagging its tail several times before, so he was not surprised. When he heard Qiu constantly talking about carp flying in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not believe it, but King Jing did not doubt it. He knew that his fish could actually "fly" in a unique way, but King Jing would not speak for Qiu.

Seeing the fish jump up again, King Jing was calm, thinking that it would fall down in a short while.

But after waiting for a while, the fish did not fall down, but fell on the edge of the tank with a plop, and the fins and tail fluttered, and the whole fish slowly slid down.

Then, plop.

King Jing: "..."

The little carp seemed to be unconvinced and jumped up again immediately.

King Jing: "…………"

King Jing roughly guessed what the fish was going to do, and when the little carp fell on the edge of the tank and fluttered for the second time, he picked up the fish in time.

Li Yu:? ? ?

The little carp was struggling with the fish tank, when he suddenly felt his body lighten and he was lifted up. He looked up and saw who was King Jing.

Li Yu happily rolled King Jing's finger with his tail: Master, come and help me!

King Jing: "..."

His fingers were a little itchy. King Jing coughed lightly while holding the fish. He acted too quickly and did not find a container to hold the fish in advance. He was afraid that the little fish would not be able to bear being out of water for too long, so King Jing gently placed the fish in a clean teacup on the table.

The teacup had a white jade base, with wisps of green around it, shaped like petals, just enough to hold a fish. King Jing poured some clean water into the teacup. The teacup was very shallow, and once the little carp entered the teacup, it could easily raise its head and look around.

Although he had already moved into King Jing's house, the fish's vision was extremely limited. He heard people coming and going all day long, and had never seen what King Jing's house looked like, so he soon saw it clearly.

The little carp felt a little uncomfortable.

Having seen the exquisite luxury of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Prince Jing's house seemed a bit shabby in comparison. To sum it up, it was reserved, simple, and steady, which was in line with the tyrant's cold temperament. Unless necessary, there were very few decorations, a bit like a snow cave.

It didn't matter, Li Yu thought, anyway, his existence was to change the tyrant's character, and maybe he could make the snow cave warmer in the future.

Next to the teacup where he was now, there were pens and ink. After Prince Jing settled him down, he sat down and picked up the pen.

It turned out that he was going to write and paint. Li Yu remembered the smell of ink and excitedly wagged his tail. He knew a lot about this and could give Prince Jing some advice.

When the little carp was happy, its tail flew high. King Jing gave him a warning glance, and Li Yu immediately put down his tail sensibly. He finally got out of the fish tank. If he got King Jing's manuscript or drawing wet, he would definitely be punished.

The little carp stared at him quietly and enthusiastically.

King Jing pondered for a moment, spread out the paper, and drew a vivid fish with just a few strokes.

Li Yu took a look at the fish head, body and tail. Oh, King Jing was actually drawing him! !

Li Yu was very happy that someone had drawn a portrait for him. From the hair to the heels, King Jing was pleasing to the eye.

He thought he should also contribute. Since King Jing was drawing the picture, how about he be the model fish for King Jing?

After careful consideration, the little carp drew a shape in the teacup that he thought was majestic and imposing, but it was actually a very twisted S.

King Jing smiled, thinking that the little carp was quite interesting, and made some changes to the painting according to the fish's appearance.

The man and the fish, although silent, were having a good time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the emperor's reward has been received." Wang Xi came in sweating and reported.

King Jing put down his pen and the painting aside, and was about to go out to receive the emperor's order. When he looked back before leaving the door, he saw the little carp facing the painting, flickering and shaking its tail, eager to try.

King Jing's eyelids jumped, and he turned back and put the fish in a teacup and took it away with him, so that he wouldn't leave the fish alone in the room and see a few more tail marks on the painting when he came back.

Li Yu, who was caught by King Jing all of a sudden: ???

The news that Concubine Qiu framed King Jing had spread throughout the palace. The emperor knew very well that if he had encountered the incident of framing the prince in the early years, he would never let it go so easily. However, since he liked the second prince to be the future crown prince, he had to consider the second prince's face. Although the emperor ignored Mu Tianzhao for a few days afterwards, he still didn't want to change the crown prince candidate because of this.

Since the emperor had punished the imperial concubine, he had to spend a lot of effort to appease King Jing. The thickness of the gift list showed that all kinds of rare treasures were given to King Jing without blinking an eye.

One of them was very unusual. It was a precious brocade carp presented to the emperor by foreign countries. There were only a few pairs in the world.

The emperor had given gifts to King Jing before, but King Jing was too difficult to please. He had no shortage of gold and silver, but no interest in beautiful women. The emperor always had a headache about how to reward King Jing. Now that he suddenly discovered that King Jing actually had a hobby, the emperor was like a chicken with blood on his chest. Since King Jing loved to raise fish, he simply gave him more fish.

Luo, the chief steward, was all smiles as he ordered the eunuchs to carry a fish tank that was three or four feet long to the Jingtai Palace. The fish tank was carved from a whole piece of crystal and was very transparent. The fish tank was filled with red and gold precious koi selected by the emperor himself. These koi were well-fed and big, and they swam in groups, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Li Yu was being held by eunuch Wang, eating the red fish food that eunuch Wang had fed him. When he learned that the emperor had stuffed fish into the hands of King Jing, Li Yu opened his mouth in surprise and a piece of fish food flew away.

In this day and age, does a fish have to compete for favor?

With his intelligence, how could he compete with other fish? But he still had a mission. If King Jing ignored him, who would he find to do the mission?

No, we must fight.

Li Yu watched the king eagerly and decided to guard King Jing like an old hen. If other fish tried to flirt with King Jing, he would chase them away.

The little carp secretly prepared for a fight, but King Jing did not keep the few pairs of koi after seeing the crystal fish tank containing the koi.

Li Yu was very happy that King Jing was determined and not tempted by the beautiful koi.

Of course, Li Yu was even happier when he was brought back to the room by the eunuch Wang and found that his blue and white porcelain fish tank had turned into a huge crystal fish tank that originally contained koi.

The author has something to say:

Today is the fish that likes the night pearl!

Small drama (giving gifts)

Emperor: Son, do you like the fish your father gave you?

King Jing: Leave the fish tank, you can take the rest

Emperor: ...
