When Li Yu woke up, he was already in Prince Jing's mansion. He had no idea that a bunch of people in the palace had been commenting on him.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He is now quite self-aware as a fish. In general, he just blows his own bubbles and lets those boring humans gossip.
Because he lives in a fish tank, it doesn't make much difference to him whether the fish tank is in the palace or in the prince's mansion. What makes him happy is that Eunuch Wang took the initiative to move him into Prince Jing's bedroom in the prince's mansion. He still lives with Prince Jing. His one-sided fear of Prince Jing disappears quickly, and now he is more unscrupulous in selling cuteness than before, and he has more sincerity and trust in Prince Jing.
He entered the book and worked diligently as a pet of the fish. Every day, he had to worry about his mission. The plot
of the original book was far away from the life of a fish. He ate well and slept well beside King Jing, and never cared about the plot. After all, what could a fish like him do? But King Jing was assassinated, and the plot of the original book, which had run away, was finally brought back to him.
Since the second prince Mu Tianzhao learned that King Jing had left the palace, he sent his confidant to deliver a letter. The confidant sincerely expressed his concern for King Jing's health on behalf of the second prince, and said that the second prince would specially hold a banquet for King Jing in the mansion in three days and invite King Jing to come.
Wang Xi presented the letter to King Jing with a cold face. King Jing sneered and threw the letter aside without opening it.
Li Yu looked at the letter thoughtfully across the fish tank.
Although the second prince was destined to be a cannon fodder, he was still a hot candidate for the crown prince. This was probably because he was slapped in the face in the Qianqing Palace last time and wanted to make up for it.
The Jing Wang family looked down on the second prince. It was true that Mu Tianzhao was the oldest among all the emperor's princes, but he was used to pretending. He pretended to love his younger brother in front of the emperor, and pretended to be a good brother in front of the princes. In fact, it was this brother who tricked several princes.
As a plot gold finger, Li Yu knew more or less what the second prince was thinking. Among the emperor's several princes, Mu Tianzhao was most afraid of the third prince who was of similar age and competed with him in everything, but he disliked the Jing Wang the most.
Although Mu Tianzhao is older, the royal family does not follow the order of seniority. The legitimate son always ranks before the eldest. King Jing was born to Empress Xiaohui, and his status is far more noble than him. If King Jing had not been mute, the emperor would never have thought of giving the crown prince position to the second prince. Mu Tianzhao regarded King Jing as a thorn in his eyes just because of this, but he could not show it in front of the emperor.
He knew that the emperor hoped that the future crown prince would be both virtuous and good, and no matter how much he disliked King Jing, he had to be kind to King Jing. The emperor was dissatisfied with him because of Qiu's last time. Mu Tianzhao realized that he could not be too happy too early until his position as crown prince was determined. Taking advantage of King Jing's assassination, he used this as an excuse, under the banner of caring for King Jing, to ask about King Jing's well-being, trying to make up for the last offense. In the eyes of the emperor, he also corrected his mistakes.
The second prince had a good plan, but unfortunately King Jing did not give him face and did not agree to attend the banquet.
The second prince did not give up and ran to the emperor to kneel and beg the emperor to help intercede. The emperor hoped that King Jing and the future crown prince would live in peace. The second prince was willing to show his goodwill, and the emperor agreed from the bottom of his heart. In order to get King Jing to cooperate and give the second prince a step, the emperor simply acted as a middleman and ordered a banquet at King Jing's mansion. He also ordered all the princes to attend and King Jing was responsible for the reception. In this way, the reconciliation between the second prince and King Jing at the banquet was a natural thing.
The second prince achieved his goal through the emperor, and King Jing's face turned black when he received the imperial edict.
The emperor knew that Prince Jing had a cold personality. He would get angry if there were too many guests, let alone entertaining other princes. The emperor specially sent General Manager Luo to explain that even the servants and cooks would be given to him. Prince Jing did not need to prepare anything extra, he just needed to show up as the host. The
emperor took great pains, also for the already weak brotherhood between his sons. Prince Jing looked at this series of arrangements and sat alone in the room for a long time without any objection.
Wang Xi knew all the things about Prince Jing's mansion, and Li Yu almost knew them. Prince Jing's room had just rejected the second prince, and the emperor suddenly wanted to give a banquet in Prince Jing's mansion. One could guess with one's tail that the second prince must have touched a nail and made such a shameless move through the emperor. Li Yu was speechless.
The banquet was fine, it didn't matter to him. The second prince wouldn't get what he wanted anyway, he was just a runner-up for King Jing.
Speaking of the banquet, he remembered a banquet held by King Jing's mansion not long after the beginning of the original book. It was at the banquet that King Jing met another male protagonist in the book, the little concubine in this book - the title is "The Tyrant and the Little Concubine". To use the disgusting description in the book, the fate of the two people has been intertwined since then.
Although Li Yu is a fish that traveled through the book, for such a long time, the Fish Trap System has never asked him to intervene in the plot of the original book except for issuing weird tasks. After all, the range of activities of pet fish, the people and things they can contact are extremely limited. Even if they want to do something else, it is not easy. According to the Fish Trap System, his existence is to change the tyrant's nature. If this can be achieved, the plot is not so important.
Li Yu really didn't care much about the plot. It's just that the second prince suddenly did this, and he suddenly had a strange idea in his mind. Could it be that the banquet in the book is the one that the second prince is organizing now?
According to King Jing's temper, it is impossible for him to hold a similar banquet again. The book also does not mention the reason why King Jing's mansion held a banquet, which means that there is no contradiction and it can roughly match.
Li Yu's scales were all standing up. Could it be that King Jing was about to meet his destined lover, the Little Princess?
This... was inevitable. After all, this was a world in a book. A main character was the top and a main character was the bottom. Their fates met. No matter how tangled the process was, they were bound to be together. Didn't we know that this book was about the story of King Jing and the Little Princess?
It was just a pet fish. There was no need to think too much.
Li Yu shook his head, trying not to care. He went to play with the beads in the fish tank. Maybe he had played too much and was not interested.
The emperor's edicts had been sent out one after another.
The younger seventh and eighth princes were still children and were still kept in the palace. When they heard that King Jing's palace was holding a banquet, they wanted to go out of the palace to play immediately.
The other two adult princes were much calmer. The third prince and the sixth prince both said that it was a rare opportunity for brothers to get together, and they would prepare precious gifts. The third prince, Mu Tianming, also took the initiative to suggest bringing some servants who were good at singing and dancing to the Jing Palace, hoping to make it more lively.
The emperor was happy to see his sons being friendly and respectful to each other, and he agreed on behalf of Jing.
Although Jing did not have to worry about the banquet, Wang Xi still kept an eye on it for his master. Li Yu listened to the constant nagging of the eunuch Wang, and was silent for a while, then sank to the bottom of the tank, not wanting to swim up
. The third prince's suggestion can basically be recognized as the plot of the original book, because the little Jiaofei was one of the "servants who were good at singing and dancing" brought by the third prince, and she was outstanding. Jing had seen the little Jiaofei's performance and was amazed at a glance, and he fell in love with her.
But Xiao Jiaofei is actually on the side of the Third Prince, and she doesn't like King Jing for most of the book. This is the only time in King Jing's life that he has fallen in love. The arrogant tyrant cannot get what he wants, is frustrated everywhere, and almost loses his life.
It's really an old-fashioned "I love you but you don't love me, even so I still love you". It is said that many readers like this, it's exciting.
How can this be, why does King Jing always have to be tortured?
I didn't feel it when I read the article, because it was just a character in the book. Now King Jing is a real person. He is very familiar with King Jing and has seen many unknown sides of King Jing. He must have regarded King Jing as his real master. Li Yu was very angry, even angrier than when he was abused. The
unhappy little carp rushed to the beads in the fish tank and vented his temper. In the end, he thought calmly, no matter how angry he was, it was King Jing who liked the little concubine, and he was just a pet fish...
Maybe one day, the little concubine will become the second master, and he will need to please the second master like he pleases King Jing, and then live with the second master.
This... As long as he thought about it, he couldn't stand it. Suddenly, he could understand the sense of loss of some pets after their masters fell in love.
The owner loved his pet very much before, but later he ignored it. If the second owner got along well with the pet, it would be fine. But if the second owner didn't get along well with the pet, would the owner do anything to the second owner?
No, the owner would definitely get rid of the pet.
Li Yu sneered. He would never fall to such a state. If King Jing wanted to go through the plot, then so be it. Anyway, he, a fish, couldn't stop the wheel of the plot. So he could do what he could, right?
King Jing's mansion held a banquet, and people came and went. King Jing was busy meeting with his concubine and would not pay attention to him. Then he didn't have to worry about it. He turned into a human form and did everything he wanted!
