King Jing didn't like any of the dancers. Even Chu Yanyu, who the Third Prince was most confident in, King Jing just watched the dance and didn't pay any extra attention to this person.
Mu Tianming's prepared full words of praise were stuck.
Chu Yanyu didn't show any impatience, and looked down, wondering what he was thinking.
The Sixth Prince gently pushed Mu Tianming: "Third brother?"
Mu Tianming thought that he had lost face enough today anyway, so he didn't care about losing face again. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "Fifth brother thinks it's okay, and I think it's good. The man and woman leading the dance are carefully selected by me. How about giving them to Fifth brother to relieve his boredom?"
The words were so straightforward that no one would not understand what the Third Prince meant. Mu Tianming didn't believe that King Jing would remain indifferent even though he took the initiative to offer to give people away.
King Jing changed his hand, leisurely holding his chin with his left hand, and with his right hand pressed the little carp that was about to stick its head out to look out into the water.
King Jing glanced at Wang Xi again, and Wang Xi, who was in tune with King Jing's mind, said again: "Your Highness said...no."
It means no, not no, or no.
No means that people don't like it.
Mu Tianming: "..."
"Your Highness King Jing, what are you dissatisfied with me?"
Chu Yanyu's thin back was straight, his nails firmly pinched into the palm of his hand, and his eyes were faintly dancing with angry flames.
His heart already belonged to someone, but King Jing's neglect was also a great insult to him. Chu Yanyu had a high self-esteem and wanted to know the reason.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu was surprised. Is this still the little concubine who was cold and indifferent to King Jing in the original book!
Why does it feel the other way around?
As soon as Chu Yanyu said this, he regretted his rashness.
King Jing smiled sarcastically, shook his head, stood up, held the teacup in his hand, and ordered Wang Xi to see the guest off.
Chu Yanyu: "..."
Chu Yanyu thought carefully, since King Jing shook his head, it means he is not dissatisfied with him?
Wang Xi said "Hi" at the right time: "Mr. Chu, please don't misunderstand. His Highness has no other intentions. He just means that your well-being has nothing to do with him?"
The third prince, Chu Yanyu, and the sixth prince: "..."
Mu Tianming had a headache. King Jing refused to accept even the gift that was delivered to his door. What should he do?
Li Yu was locked in a teacup by King Jing and could not get out. King Jing did not seem to like Chu Yanyu, and he felt secretly pleased. After all, it was King Jing who had been chasing Chu Yanyu in the book. King Jing had paid too much for Chu Yanyu and had been hurt countless times by Chu Yanyu. Now that he did not like Chu Yanyu, could it be considered avoiding this sadomasochistic love?
But would the change in the plot cause a butterfly effect and affect King Jing in the future?
Li Yu was entangled for a moment, and then he stopped.
Anyway, he also existed to change King Jing's temperament. Isn't this itself a change to the original book?
Li Yu finally returned to the backyard, King Jing's bedroom.
King Jing put him in the crystal fish tank. Li Yu saw that the fish pillow was gone, and guessed that King Jing had discovered the secret of the fish pillow.
Li Yu sneered. Would King Jing find out that he had put the pillow there?
Although, this is basically unlikely. King Jing didn't even think that his true body was transformed from a fish, so how could he suddenly remember that it was him, the fish, who arranged the fish pillow?
Li Yu was relieved and continued to follow King Jing. When King Jing walked in front of the fish tank, he swam around with him.
Suddenly, King Jing stopped, took something out of his sleeve and put it into the fish tank.
Li Yu stupidly tilted his head up, and saw a black mass slowly floating down from his head and landing beside him.
Li Yu took a look and found that it was another fish that looked exactly like him.
Li Yu: ???
Is this a fish pillow?
Li Yu didn't know what King Jing meant, so he secretly glanced at King Jing, then pretended to know nothing, treated the fish pillow as a toy, and swam back and forth in the water with the pillow on his head.
He did not dare to drag the fish pillow onto the white stone bed and cover it with a seaweed quilt as he had done before, as this would reveal his true identity!
King Jing saw that the little carp seemed to be having fun with the fake fish. From a distance, it looked as if he had kept two fish in pairs.
King Jing paused and suddenly felt a little unhappy with the fake fish. He decided to have Wang Xi take out the fake fish and deal with them after a while.
King Jing still had things to do, so he walked to the table and sat down.
Li Yu came up with a new way to play with the pillow. He humped the pillow on his back as if he was humping another fish. The pillow was very light and he hardly felt tired. After playing for a while, he found that King Jing was busy. The little carp and the pillow were both clinging to the wall of the crystal tank to peek at King Jing.
Prince Jing is painting again.
Prince Jing had painted a picture of a small carp in Jingtai Hall before, and asked Wang Xi to frame it after the painting was completed. This time, he brought it back to Prince Jing's mansion and hung it on the wall diagonally opposite the crystal fish tank. Li Yu thought proudly, is Prince Jing painting a fish again?
He also wants to go over and show off his figure!
Li Yu let go of the pillow and jumped into the teacup on the ground. He was a little tired from turning into a human form, so his movements were not very flexible. He jumped a few more times before he jumped to the side of Prince Jing's desk. There
was another petal-shaped teacup on the desk, which he often squatted in. Prince Jing seemed to know that this fish would come to watch him paint, and he was not surprised by the small carp that suddenly appeared.
Li Yu held his breath. The King of Jing had drawn a bigger picture this time, and it was not finished yet…
Although he could not see the whole picture for the time being, he could already see that it had hands, feet, and clothes. The painting should not be of him, the fish, but of a person.
Li Yu's heart sank suddenly. Could it be Chu Yanyu?
King of Jing rejected the third prince on the surface, but deep down in his heart he was still thinking about Chu Yanyu?
… King of Jing was not of this style at all. The King of Jing in the book would keep someone by his side once he liked them. Now that he had directly rejected them, he would not think about them anymore. The possibility of Wang Xi was higher than Chu Yanyu.
Li Yu waited quietly for King of Jing to finish outlining and coloring. The painting was a bit complicated, and it took him half an hour to finish it.
King of Jing finally picked up the painting and shook it. Only
then did Li Yu see the whole painting clearly. King of Jing was good at painting, and his painting was quite magical. I saw a young man in green clothes sitting on the windowsill with his hands on his back, smiling and looking back.
Li Yu: "..."
Shit, why did he feel that the person in the painting looked so familiar?
This was him in human form, and the painting depicted the scene where he was almost caught!
He could understand that King Jing painted a fish, but why did King Jing paint a stranger?
Little Liyu was a little confused.
King Jing put the painting aside, took out a jade bell and shook it.
This was King Jing's way of calling his followers, and Wang Xi soon came in from outside.
King Jing solemnly handed the painting to Wang Xi, who whispered a few words in his ear, asking King Jing to confirm.
After King Jing confirmed, Wang Xi's expression was a little solemn.
Li Yu thought, could it be that Wang Xi should also be asked to frame this and put his portrait together with his fish portrait?
Although they were both of him, it felt a little strange.
Wang Xi said repeatedly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will order the guards to look for the man according to the portrait."
Li Yu: "..."
King Jing drew a circle on the paper with a pen. Wang Xi nodded: "I will ask them to look along the pond and find the man."
Li Yu: "…………"
No way, after selling fish so many times, why is King Jing still thinking about catching him in person?
Whatever, even if there is a portrait, he can't be found. There is nothing in the pond. He is kept in King Jing's fish tank.
After the banquet at King Jing's mansion, the third prince took Chu Yanyu and others and went back in disgrace.
Mu Tianming was unwilling to give up and prepared the soup carefully. After discussing with his confidant, he decided to send the lead dancer Chu Yanyu and another woman to the Jingwang Mansion. In order to prevent Jingwang from rejecting them, Mu Tianming left them in front of the mansion and ran away, faster than a thief.
Soon the emperor got the news that the third prince had sent someone to Jingwang. The emperor was a little amused, but he was quite satisfied with the third prince for being willing to show his goodwill to Jingwang. After all,
he organized this banquet for Jingwang and the second prince, but according to the spy report, the second prince Mu Tianzhao went to Jingwang's house and Jingwang's fish disappeared. The emperor thought that the second prince was looking for trouble with the fish again?
Now that he is still here, the second prince can't even tolerate a fish. Will he attack Jingwang in the future?
This was not the first time that Mu Tianzhao had disappointed the emperor. The emperor thought, was it too early for him to reveal the future crown prince candidate to Qiu?
The emperor wanted to give the second prince a warning, so a few days after the banquet, he rewarded the third prince with a set of tea sets.
Although it was just an insignificant thing, the other princes, including the second prince, did not get a share. Mu Tianming felt that he was right to pull King Jing, because the emperor rewarded him after he sent someone to King Jing's mansion, which showed that the emperor really hoped that he would have a good relationship with King Jing.
The sixth prince guessed the emperor's mind for the third prince, but the emperor only rewarded the third prince, but not the second prince, which also showed that the emperor was beginning to be dissatisfied with the second prince.
"Thanks to your recommendation, Chu Yanyu's entry into Prince Jing's Mansion is a good step."
Mu Tianming smiled and patted Mu Tianxiao on the shoulder.
"Yanyu is smart and will definitely not disappoint my brother."
The Sixth Prince smiled gently, not showing any resentment because his beloved entered Prince Jing's Mansion.
After Prince Jing learned about this from Wang Xi, his expression was indifferent. Eunuch Wang Xi had a lot of experience in dealing with such people from outside. The emperor had sent many people to Prince Jing before, both men and women, fat and thin. Because Prince Jing didn't like it, they were all detained in a courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion. Without permission, they were not allowed to walk around at will. After a year, those who wanted to leave Prince Jing's Mansion could leave on their own, and those who didn't want to leave could only be servants.
