Li Yu successfully got a lip rub from the Tyrant, and it was like a firework exploded in his heart. He had rubbed the master's mouth before, but this time he was too focused and got a little carried away. He was dizzy after rubbing it, laughed foolishly for a while, and then jumped back into the fish tank.
Then he found that the last step of "Millions of Fish Pets", "Intimate Contact with the Tyrant", was not completed as he thought.
Li Yu was embarrassed. Could it be that the step he guessed was wrong from the beginning? Wouldn't rubbing lips complete the task?
The system finally couldn't help but remind: "Host, because you have done the same action before, it is judged as ineffective if it is repeated."
Li Yu: "..."
The pit fish system meant that he had rubbed it before, and it would not count in the future.
Li Yu was very angry. He was careless before, but he really did it this time. It was different, right? And since repetition was not allowed, why didn't they remind him earlier?
System: "There was no repetition before the host actually took action."
Li Yu was extremely disappointed: ...Okay, you are a trap system, you are right.
I thought that completing this step would be smooth as silk, and I would get rewards immediately, and I would be able to open the kinki branch line immediately. The trap system actually set him up. If this doesn't work, how can he have close contact with the tyrant king?
The system still said: "Please think about it yourself."
Li Yu: ...
This system is really annoying, it's just a little bit short.
Li Yu was so angry at the trap system that he spit bubbles all night. When he woke up in the morning, his eyes were a little sour. He found that King Jing also had dark circles under his eyes. King Jing should not have slept well.
Li Yu suddenly felt that he and the tyrant monarch shared the same fate.
A servant came to tidy up the bed and found the water stains left by the little carp on the pillow. The mattress was also a little wet. The servant reported it to King Jing truthfully .
King Jing just waved his hand and asked the servant to change it again.
Li Yu was mysteriously confident before the task, and now he was really relieved. King Jing must know that he jumped over there at night, but he was not angry. Does this mean that he can jump over there again in the future?
Unfortunately, he thought about it all night and still couldn't figure out how to do it to be considered as truly effective intimate contact.
It's not that he can't think of it, but there are so many places that a person can rub. Yu must have to choose a relatively decent one that he has never done before from a bunch of shameless choices, which is difficult.
For example, King Jing's face, Li Yu often rubbed it when he was a fish, but it definitely doesn't count.
Li Yu was racking his brains to think about other parts of the body besides the face, when Eunuch Wang came to report that the Prince of Cheng'en had arrived. King Jing felt that the carp spirit could not be trapped in the house forever, and Prince Ye was also very familiar with Xiaoyu, so he simply took Xiaoyu to meet Prince Ye and get some fresh air.
Ye Qinghuan was in high spirits, as his marriage with Princess Jin Jue had been scheduled for February. With the relationship between King Jing and Cheng'en Mansion, he was of course among the invited guests. Prince Ye was very sincere, not only personally delivering the invitation to King Jing, but also holding two jars of wine in his hand.
"These are two jars of green plum wine brewed by Grandpa himself, and he asked me to bring them to you."
Prince Ye put the wine down. Li Yu then remembered that the book also mentioned the green plum wine of Cheng'en Mansion.
Ye Qinghuan's grandfather, Old Cheng'en Gong, who was also the grandfather of King Jing, had brewed green plum wine for each of his children and buried it underground, intending to take it out and drink it when his children got married. This was originally a very elegant thing. King Jing's biological mother entered the palace as queen, and did not hold a wedding at home, so the wine was kept. In the past, there was no suitable opportunity to give it away. Later, Empress Xiaohui passed away, and even if she wanted to give it away, she couldn't...
Old Cheng'en Gong now brewed wine for his grandchildren, and asked Ye Qinghuan to bring his share, together with Empress Xiaohui's share, to King Jing. Old Cheng'en Gong has not been in good health in recent years. He has been recuperating in Cheng'en Gong's mansion and rarely goes out. He also misses his grandson who lives alone in King Jing's mansion.
As a prince, King Jing could only understand some things. Ye Qinghuan specially sent two jars of wine, and King Jing understood everything. He gently stroked the jar of wine that belonged to his biological mother, and his eyes were slightly rippling. King Jing
took the wedding invitation and took a look at it. It was rare that he did not order his cousin to be taken out, but asked Wang Xi to find a seat for Ye Shizi.
Ye Qinghuan was flattered and sat down quickly. Thinking of what he had seen along the way, the unreserved Ye Shizi asked, "By the way, why are there so many craftsmen in your mansion this time? Are you going to do a major renovation?"
Ye Qinghuan saw with his own eyes that many parts of Prince Jing's mansion were fenced, and the sound of digging the ground kept coming from inside. He had known Prince Jing for many years and knew how cold-hearted he was. Prince Jing never cared about the layout and furnishings of Prince Jing's mansion. He had never changed it since he moved in. This was the first time, and it could be called a major construction.
Could it be because he was going to get married, and Prince Jing was jealous and wanted to join in the fun?
If so, Ye Qinghuan thought she was pretty good.
King Jing glanced at Wang Xi, who stepped forward and ruthlessly shattered Ye Shizi's dream: "Shizi, Your Highness is going to make... a new fish tank for Master Xiaoyu."
Ye Qinghuan:? ? ?
So it’s not because of him, but because of the fish?
Ye Shizi, who did not expect that his pet dog could not compare to a fish, nor could he compare to a fish: "..."
"Tianchi, are you going too far?" Ye Shizi couldn't help but complain.
Li Yu was continuing to think about intimate contact in the coral fish tank at King Jing's hand. When he suddenly heard that there was a new fish tank, Li Yu's conditioned reflex immediately swung his tail excitedly.
While shaking it off, he pondered what Ye Shizi said. He had been staying in Prince Jing's house recently because he had lost his scales. Prince Jing was always guarding him. He had no chance to change into a human being. He didn't know that Prince Jing's mansion was building a new fish tank recently.
If a new yard is built, Li Yu may not know who it is for, but the new fish tank is definitely for him, because King Jing only has one fish!
Oh, oh, even though the tyrant monarch doesn't rub him anymore, he is still so good to him...
Li Yu squeezed a little water out of the fish's eyes, and took the initiative to swim to King Jing's hand, nudging King Jing's finger with his mouth.
King Jing was listening to Ye Qinghuan's complaints with one ear in and one ear out, and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow swimming in the fish tank from the corner of his eye. The intimate touch from his fingertips made him cover it without thinking, and his palm covered it. It
was not until he caught the fish's tail in his hand and twisted it that King Jing realized what he had done. He didn't pay attention for a moment, and he actually gave the carp spirit to...
King Jing suddenly felt a little regretful. It would have been fine if he didn't know before, but now that he knew, he still casually fished.
But the fish was spinning in his palm. He stopped moving, but the silky tail was still sliding between his fingers. After raising fish for so long, he knew that this was the fish's expression of happiness. It seemed that the fish...didn't mind, or rather, liked it.
King Jing curled his lips slowly. Did this mean that the fish, like him, also hoped to continue like this?
Originally, he was still a little unhappy because he thought of his biological mother whom he had never met, but the fish's tail swept him away.
King Jing did not retract his hand. Li Yu shouted excitedly: "Ahhh, he rubbed me again!!!"
Ye Shizi was about to get married, and he was bolder. After feeling neglected, he complained in front of King Jing. But when he turned around, King Jing was concentrating on fishing and didn't listen. Ye Shizi: "..."
That's enough. Isn't it enough that he has completely lost?
Ye Shizi approached carefully, put on a smile and said: "Tianchi, can I touch the little fish too? In exchange, you can touch my masculinity."
Although the prince always compares his masculinity with the little carp, he has long been jealous of the slippery little carp.
Who wants to touch your dog! Prince Jing narrowed his eyes in displeasure. Wang Xi, who was standing by, knew what was going on and quickly ordered people to carry Prince Ye away.
"Prince, how could you forget again that His Highness doesn't like others to negotiate with him?" Wang Xi said angrily.
"Does this count as negotiating?" Ye Qinghuan was stunned.
"Why not?" Wang Xi continued, "He hates others to touch his fish even more."
This time he didn't drag you out because His Highness was doing it for the sake of the old Lord Cheng'en, Wang Xi said silently in his heart.
Ye Qinghuan: "..."
Prince Ye had no choice but to stand far away pitifully, watching his cousin slacking off. He originally wanted to come to Prince Jing's mansion to show off that he was about to get married, but now he was being dazzled by Prince Jing instead!
Suddenly, Ye Shizi discovered another remarkable thing, and his eyes widened. The fish that King Jing was touching had a golden tail and belly, which seemed to be different from the previous fish.
Ye Shizi stared at it for a long time, thinking that he was finally right: "Tianchi, did your fish change?"
King Jing ignored him at all. Wang Xi laughed and said: "Prince, what are you talking about? It's not that the fish has changed, but the fish master has changed its scales."
"Fish can also change their scales? Why haven't I heard of it?" Ye Qinghuan looked unconvinced
. King Jing glanced at him lightly, and Wang Xi immediately said: "Prince, you haven't heard of it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, doesn't the prince's Xiongfeng also change his fur?"
Ye Qinghuan had to nod his head. Xiongfeng did change his fur, and every time he changed, there was a pile of dog hair in Chengen Mansion - but Xiongfeng wouldn't change color for no reason, right?
But the fish of King Jing is smarter than ordinary fish, maybe it is different.
Ye Qinghuan blinked and convinced himself that King Jing really didn't need to lie to him. If he upset King Jing again, he would probably be beaten again.
"Well, actually, it's still quite impressive for a small fish to change its scales."
Ye Shizi racked his brains and finally uttered a compliment, trying to leave a good impression on King Jing.
King Jing nodded to Ye Shizi in a haughty manner. Li Yu, who was enjoying being rubbed, was so comfortable that his tail trembled: "My Lord, heroes think alike!"
Ye Qinghuan's efforts earned him a meal from King Jing.
Wang Xi had already collected the pot of green plum wine brewed by the old Chengen Lord. Ye Qinghuan patted the other pot and said, "This is brewed by Grandpa for me. Let's taste it together."
King Jing did not comment. Wang Xi guessed his master's thoughts and brought over two glass cups for King Jing and Ye Qinghuan to drink from.
The pot was opened, and the sweetness of green plums came out first, followed by the mellow aroma of wine. Wang Xi used a long-handled silver spoon to scoop out the green plums at the bottom of the pot and scooped them into a white porcelain plate beside him. According to the custom of this dynasty, green plum wine is generally not drunk with green plums, but there are also people who like green plums. Wang Xi made it convenient for King Jing and Ye Shizi to use them.
The coral fish tank where Li Yu was was also placed on the table. He now had the honor of dining with the Tyrant Lord. While Wang Xi was preparing the green plum wine, King Jing had already fed the little fish a handful of red fish food and broke off half a peach blossom cake.
Li Yu should have been satisfied eating the fish food and peach blossom cake, but when the green plum wine was just opened, the smell was so good that even the fish in the fish tank could smell it, and the gluttonous worms in the fish's stomach were hooked and cried out.
Li Yu floated to the surface of the water with a piece of peach blossom cake in his hand, and kept smelling the fragrance of the green plum wine. He wanted to drink green plum wine, but King Jing would definitely not let a fish drink. It would be okay for him to just watch King Jing and Ye Shizi drink, right?
After feeding the fish, King Jing still used the remaining half of the peach blossom cake. Ye Qinghuan looked at him enviously, feeling that he was really blinded by greed. How could he think that King Jing would change the fish to feed. Wang Xi
poured wine for the two of them. The green plum wine was poured into the exquisite glass cup, like a piece of jade liquid. King Jing lowered his eyes to look at the clear wine, his slender fingers slowly fiddled with the cup, raised the cup and sipped it lightly, while Ye Qinghuan raised his head and drank it all.
"Good wine." Ye Qinghuan wiped his mouth and praised with a smile. He didn't need Wang Xi to pour again, and filled it up himself.
Li Yu, who secretly watched people drinking: The master is so handsome... Master Ye, this is a cow drink!
The aroma of green plum wine seems to be lingering, which attracts the fish. Ye Shizi is so generous that he makes the fish want to drink more!
Ye Qinghuan drank like this, and King Jing only finished one cup when he had already drunk three cups in a row. After three cups, Ye Shizi's ears were stained with rosy clouds and his eyes were a little straight.
"Tianchi, this wine... Grandpa also brewed it for you, waiting for you in the future..." Ye Qinghuan burped and said with a smile.
King Jing was stunned for a moment, put down the wine glass, and ordered Wang Xi to bring sobering soup to Ye Qinghuan.
Some people will just sleep soundly when they are drunk, and some people will mess with the world when they are drunk. Ye Shizi is in between the two. When he is drunk, he likes to pull people to talk a lot of nonsense.
King Jing saw that Ye Qinghuan was about to fall to the ground, so he had to reach out to pull him up, but he was pulled by Ye Qinghuan and began to tell all the things that happened when he was a child in the Chengen Mansion and was beaten by his parents.
King Jing actually listened in a trance for a long time.
Li Yu knew that Prince Jing might be thinking of his childhood, and fearing that Prince Jing might feel uncomfortable, he quickly jumped into the water a few times.
Prince Jing heard the sound of the fish splashing in the water, turned his head and glanced at the fish, his eyes were reassuring.
Wang Xi took great pains to hold down Master Ye and gave him sobering soup, but Master Ye kept talking, and later simply said that he didn't want to get married.
Li Yu: "..."
It turned out that Master Ye, such a carefree person, actually had a fear of marriage. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his
appearance. Li Yu could understand it. After all, Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jin Jue, two people who had never even spoken a few words to each other, were going to get married and live together for the rest of their lives. It was normal for them to be confused. Master Ye might want to completely overcome the fear that he couldn't tell to outsiders in this way.
King Jing could not understand Master Ye's feelings, and he was impatient to take care of a drunkard, so he asked Wang Xi to look after Ye Qinghuan while he took the fish back to the house.
He had just seen the little fish's eyes looking at his glass cup, and thought that the little fish was greedy, but green plum wine should not be drunk carelessly, Ye Qinghuan was already so drunk...
But King Jing was still willing to meet the request of the carp spirit. After thinking about it, he took the plate of green plums that Wang Xi had taken out of the wine. If it was just to give the carp spirit some green plums, not to drink wine, it would not be a problem.
When Li Yu saw that King Jing had brought him and the green plums, he immediately wagged his tail wildly in joy: Is King Jing going to give him the green plums? Of course, of course, of course!
King Jing returned to the house and put the green plums down first, and saw the little carp twisting its head, staring at the green plums eagerly. King Jing smiled and put the fish down as well.
At this time, Wang Xi chased after him and said, "Your Highness, the prince doesn't seem to be feeling well... Do you want to go and take a look?"
In Jingwang Mansion, when Jingwang left, Wang Xi usually made the decision. But Ye Qinghuan was the prince of Cheng'en Mansion after all, so Wang Xi couldn't be too harsh. At
a critical moment, he still had to ask Jingwang's opinion. Jingwang knew that something might have happened that Wang Xi couldn't make the decision, so he had to go back.
He was about to touch the fish's head, but found that the carp spirit had been staring at the green plums and didn't realize that he was leaving.
Jingwang immediately felt that the dish of green plums he brought back was a bit unsightly.
The fish body... can't eat green plums.
King Jing's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered that he had been watching over the fish during the days when the fish lost its scales. Although the fish changed its scales, it had never transformed into a human form since it came back from the palace. Could it be that he had to leave before the fish could transform?
He originally wanted to crush the green plums to feed the fish, but now he didn't plan to do so. He only left a dish of green plums for the carp spirit. Would the carp spirit transform?
King Jing glanced deeply at the fish and hurried away to visit Prince Ye. Li Yu listened obediently in the fish tank for a while, and when he was sure that King Jing had really left, he used the human transformation skill.
Since he came back from the palace, he has not been able to find a chance to transform. King Jing always watched over him. He was touched, but it was not very convenient after all. Although the human form could only last for half an hour, it was enough for him to eat and play.
There was nothing urgent at the moment, so he could change his appearance for the green plums and satisfy his craving.
There were many green plums in a dish, and he just saw Wang Xi picking them out directly from the wine vat. No one would count them, so it was okay to taste one or two, safe!
Li Yu found a set of underwear and trousers from the closet and put them on, then sat down at the table and picked up a green plum. The wine soaked in plums was amber, but the plums themselves were still green, and the green color and sweet smell made people salivate.
Li Yu put the plum into his mouth and took a careful bite. The green plum was sour and sweet, and there seemed to be a lot of residual wine in the flesh. This wine was not rushed, but sweet and fragrant. He fell in love with this taste at once. After eating one, he immediately picked up another one.
At King Jing's place.
The sobering soup did not sober up Ye Shizi a little. Ye Shizi hugged the pillar of the palace and cried loudly. King Jing listened to him crying for a while with an expressionless face. Wang Xi really couldn't make a decision in this situation. King Jing directly cut Ye Qinghuan with a knife, and Ye Qinghuan was quiet. King Jing
ordered Wang Xi to find a carriage, stuff Ye Qinghuan in it, and send him back to Cheng Engong's mansion to be taken care of by Cheng Engong's people.
After dealing with Ye Qinghuan, King Jing himself broke out in a sweat. He remembered that there was still a carp spirit in the room, so he hurried back without wiping his sweat. He didn't know whether the carp spirit had transformed or not, and whether it would turn back into a fish when he returned.
When he pushed open the half-open door, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. The young man, who had met him several times, was sitting on the ground in a daze, his face flushed, his eyes blurred, holding a plate in one hand and licking it with the other hand. There was only one green plum left on the plate.
What's going on?
The doubts lingering in King Jing's mind turned into one when he saw the young man - it finally transformed.
King Jing was secretly delighted and walked over slowly, thinking about what he should say to the humanoid Xiaoyu...
No, he couldn't speak, even if Xiaoyu was a human, it would still be inconvenient. He still had to find some paper and pen first.
King Jing paused and turned to find paper and pen. Xiaoyu suddenly laughed twice, rushed up to hug him, and rubbed him happily.
"Master, you are back?" The young man's voice was soft and nasal.
King Jing was excited by this sudden hug. He recalled that not long ago in Jingtai Palace, the other party called him "Your Highness", why was it "Master" this time?
Xiaoyu's cheeks were rosy, his eyes were bright, and he carefully picked up a green plum with both hands and was about to stuff it into his mouth. Although King Jing felt it was inappropriate, Xiaoyu was too enthusiastic and he could not resist, so he had to eat from the other party's hand.
The green plums in his mouth were full of wine, which was much richer than what he drank from the glass cup. King Jing was surprised and looked at the bare plate. There were still many plum pits rolling on the ground. Did Xiaoyu eat almost all the green plums?
He didn't know that there was so much wine in the plums used to make green plum wine. This fish might be drunk...
"Is it delicious? I saved it for you!" Xiaoyu lowered his head and rubbed his hand, asking with a smile.
King Jing nodded for some reason. Being remembered by the fish, he felt warm in his heart. Smelling the strong aroma of wine on the boy, King Jing suddenly realized that this was a drunk fish who had obviously transformed but forgot that he had transformed. No wonder he called him master.
Such a big boy is not a fish that can be held in the palm of the hand. King Jing didn't know how to respond, so he gently touched the arm of the little drunk fish, hoping that the fish would relax a little. Unexpectedly, the little drunk fish, as if boneless, fell softly on him.
King Jing was caught off guard, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he hugged the thin boy.
"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
The little drunk fish pouted and yawned, his eyes were watery, and he thought he was in the hands of the tyrant. King Jing seemed to want to rub the fish, but the fish was too tired to be rubbed, and perfunctorily rubbed the master's "hand".
King Jing, who was rubbed by Xiao Zuiyu several times in a row: "..."
King Jing felt that the sweat on his back had not dried yet. He hesitated for a moment and then lightly circled Xiao Zuiyu. Maybe this would make the fish feel more comfortable. Since he was drunk and wanted to sleep, he let the fish lie down.
King Jing had good intentions and helped the fish to the bed. Xiao Zuiyu's eyes were almost closed, but suddenly he was startled and opened them again.
"Not here, where is my fish tank?" Xiao Zuiyu put his hands on his hips and looked around vigilantly.
King Jing: "..."
How could King Jing let anyone sleep in a fish tank? Fortunately, Xiao Zuiyu squinted his eyes and looked at the bed again and again. This time the mattress was white, and Xiao Zuiyu thought it was his own white stone bed. Xiao Zuiyu
took the initiative to walk over and lay down. The jade pillow was kicked aside by him.
King Jing wanted to wait until the fish fell asleep before he took out a handkerchief to wipe his face. The little drunk fish slept for only a moment, then immediately got up again, rubbing his eyes and asking, "Where is my waterweed blanket?"
King Jing: ??? Water grass... What is a quilt?
King Jing remembered a piece of green grass that was often seen on the body of a small carp. Perhaps this was the quilt that Xiao Zuiyu wanted. King Jing couldn't take out the wet grass leaves in the fish tank to cover people. After thinking about it, he searched through the boxes and found a grass green quilt.
King Jing covered Xiao Zuiyu with the quilt with sweat all over his head. Xiao Zuiyu's eyes flashed with a familiar color. He wrapped himself tightly in the quilt with satisfaction and murmured, "Thank you, rockery!"
King Jing: "..." King
Jing wanted to wait for the fish to fall asleep, but Xiao Zuiyu got up again.
After shaking his head and looking at the tyrant leader in front of him for a while, Xiao Zuiyu suddenly remembered that he had not completed the task.
"The system says that repetition is not allowed." Xiao Zuiyu frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
King Jing had no idea what the system was, so he was about to write it down. The drunk fish held his face and laughed twice.
King Jing was distracted by the fish, thinking that if the carp spirit got drunk and wanted to suck money, he would definitely cooperate to the end.
The carp spirit pouted, moved around, and took a light bite, which landed on his throat.
