The system prompted Li Yu: "If you want to use the space in the future, you don't have to wait to enter the system. The host can directly poke the jade scales three times with the fish fin to quickly open it. Anything that can be touched and can be put into the space within the field of vision can be stored through thoughts..."
The system was talking, and Li Yu smiled. Although the capacity of this space is not very good, it is quite cool to use it.
He checked the main task in the system again. As he thought, the second step of "Millions of Fish Pets" was completed, and the third step, whose content was not clear before, has been displayed.
Step 3: Get along with the tyrant, limited to three days.
Li Yu: "..."
This pitfall system, how come the tasks are nothing but interaction and getting along?
Having said that, even the requirements for interaction are so high. He alone does not count. King Jing has to take action. It is hard to imagine what the next interaction will require. And there is a time limit? What
if the time is exceeded?
System: "Timeout is also a kind of mission failure. The host will become a fish bone fish..."
Li Yu: Okay, don't say it! I know everything! Isn't it just to complete the task within three days? I have a good rest today and officially start tomorrow, right?
System: "Sorry, the countdown has started from the completion of the second step."
Li Yu: ? ? ?
Li Yu took a closer look and it was true. There was a small countdown next to the line of task words, which was decreasing all the time.
What a stupid system. It didn't remind him even after it started! What if he was so careless that he slept through these three days!
It turns out that staying in the system also deducts time. Li Yu cannot waste time, so he quickly exits the system and returns to the real world.
Wang Xi's voice happened to be heard in his ears. It turned out that while he was receiving the reward, King Jing and Wang Xi had come back and talked for a while.
Fortunately, King Jing did not come to see him during this period. Li Yu quickly swam a few times from his trance to show that he was still alive.
Li Yu tilted his ear and heard Wang Xi's voice: "Why did the emperor suddenly call Your Highness to the Qianqing Palace for questioning? This old servant found out that the emperor had been to the Zhongcui Palace before. I think the imperial concubine said something to the emperor. After all, that white cat... is the imperial concubine's favorite."
King Jing seemed to remember something and smiled sarcastically.
Wang Xi hurriedly said: "I have no bad intentions. You will not care about these things, but you have to give face to the emperor. I will go with Your Highness and make everything clear in front of the emperor. I don't believe that the concubine can still confuse right and wrong?"
King Jing did not comment. Wang Xi said: "Then I will follow Your Highness..."
Mu Tianchi thought for a moment, stretched out his arm to block Wang Xi, and shook his head.
Wang Xi was startled: "Your Highness actually...doesn't want me to follow you this time?"
As the personal eunuch of King Jing, Wang Xi had taken care of King Jing since he was young. With just a glance from King Jing, Wang Xi could almost understand what King Jing wanted to say. Only he could say most of what King Jing wanted to say. The emperor urgently summoned King Jing to the Qianqing Palace for no reason. Wang Xi guessed that it must be someone in Zhongcui Palace who had played tricks and whispered in his ear. If he was not allowed to follow him at this juncture, wouldn't King Jing be in trouble? ?
King Jing's dark eyes glanced up without emotion.
Wang Xi suddenly realized: "It was the emperor who ordered Your Highness to go alone and not to bring servants?"
King Jing nodded.
Wang Xi was speechless. The emperor wanted to summon King Jing to question him, but he didn't let him "speak". What did this mean?
I am afraid that the emperor has been seduced by Zhong Cuigong these years and favors the second prince born by the noble concubine. His Highness has no place in his heart.
Wang Xi's eyes suddenly turned red: "No... I will follow Your Highness even if I die!"
Seeing his face full of sorrow, King Jing hesitated and lightly tapped his shoulder.
Since it is the emperor's intention, if he deliberately disobeys it, wouldn't the other party have something to say.
And King Jing does not think that a mere noble concubine can do anything to him.
"Then... what does Your Highness plan to do?" Wang Xi asked after sniffing.
King Jing's long gaze fell on the blue and white porcelain fish tank not far behind Wang Xi.
"You, do you want to..."
Wang Xi was shocked. Could it be that what he really meant?
King Jing was calm and composed, looking very confident.
Wang Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Since Your Highness has his own ideas, I will listen to Your Highness and go and prepare."
Li Yu heard that the noble concubine wanted to embarrass King Jing, and Wang Xi was discussing countermeasures with King Jing. However, Li Yu was not worried about King Jing at all. The noble concubine in the book seemed to be favored, but she didn't last long. Although there was no detailed description of this part in the book, he thought it should be a small matter and there would not be any big problems. Otherwise, how could King Jing ascend the throne? Moreover, King
Jing was a vengeful person and would take revenge for the slightest grievance. If the noble concubine really dared to touch King Jing, she would be afraid that she would fail to steal the chicken and get into trouble!
Li Yu thought that King Jing's meeting with the emperor had nothing to do with him. He just had to stay in the fish tank and wait for King Jing to come back, and then try to study the next task of getting along. The time limit of three days was not long, but it was not short either. According to his previous two tasks, he completed them carelessly, and maybe this step would be the same. However, Wang Xi rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found a small jade bowl. He came to the fish tank and looked at Li Yu with ill intentions.
Li Yu: "..."
Stop it! What are you doing? !
Li Yu screamed, and was immediately caught by Wang Xi with his sleeves rolled up, and put into the jade bowl with agility.
The jade bowl was too small, and the water in the bowl was very shallow. It could barely accommodate Li Yu who was bent into a circle. Not to mention rolling, it was impossible to simply flip and flip. The fish body would emerge from the water with a little force.
Li Yu felt very unsafe, so he had to bend into a circle with grievance.
Wang Xi murmured to him, "Little thing, since His Highness has decided to take you, you can only be wronged for the time being. Be obedient and don't embarrass His Highness."
Li Yu: ???
What the hell is Wang Xi talking about? Is King Jing out of his mind? He can't speak, and he wants to take a fish that can't speak either. He doesn't want to meet the emperor or the concubine!
Because Prince Jing is a prince and future plots guarantee this, Li Yu does not think that the emperor will do anything to his own son Prince Jing. But he is different, he is just a fish. What if the emperor doesn't like him and throws him away or roasts him...
Be clear-headed, he has no say on where he will be taken. He has no idea where he will live this time, so he has to think of a way quickly and leave a way out for himself. He currently has only one space in his personal space!
Li Yu took a deep breath, and while Wang Xi was not prepared, he tapped the jade scales with his fins, thinking, save me some clean water, I want clean water...
As long as there is enough water, he can survive, unless the emperor chops off his fish head directly. Although there is water in the jade bowl where he is, it is too shallow and he does not feel safe. If the person holding the jade bowl shakes, he will be in trouble. Rather than handing his life to someone unknown, it is better to save more water!
Li Yu has never stored anything in the space, and he did not expect that the space would be useful so soon. He only heard the system introduce the use once, and it was completely a matter of luck.
Fortunately, he has a good memory and has roughly remembered the system's introduction. In an instant, the water in the blue and white porcelain jar became visibly shallow. And Li Yu's space was full of water.
There is water! Li Yu closed the space with satisfaction.
Wang Xi called in a room full of eunuchs, who were so busy that no one noticed the changes in the blue and white porcelain fish tank. King Jing decided to bring the little carp to meet the emperor. Wang Xi had to make arrangements for what would happen next. He prepared several jade bowls of similar size and several sets of clean clothes for King Jing. All of these had to be carried with him in case of emergency. Although Wang Xi could not follow King Jing to meet the emperor, at least he could take care of King Jing on the way to the Qianqing Palace.
King Jing indicated that the little carp was a fish for meeting the emperor, and he could come and get it himself.
Wang Xi respectfully presented the jade bowl, and King Jing glanced at it.
The bowl was quite small, and the fish could not even stretch out inside it. Wang Xi said that this could not be helped. He could not bring a big bowl that spoiled the mood when he was going to see the emperor. The small carp would be comfortable, but what would the emperor think?
King Jing did not care what the emperor thought. He just felt that this bowl was aggrieved.
King Jing looked at Wang Xi with disgust.
Wang Xi: "..."
Wang Xi thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and said dryly: "Your Highness, if you, you are going to see the emperor, it would be better to take this jade bowl..."
King Jing bypassed him and pointed to another eunuch who found another large sea bowl when he was looking for the jade bowl. This bowl was big enough, and the bowl was painted with water ripples. It was more than enough to hold the soup in the pot.
Wang Xi: "..."
King Jing was a persistent person. He would get what he wanted. The big bowl was soon presented. King Jing glanced at Wang Xi and poured the small carp and the water in the jade bowl into the big bowl himself, and added a lot of additional water.
Li Yu, who felt quite constrained in the jade bowl, suddenly felt that all the restraints were gone: !!!
What's going on? Why change again? But the new territory is so domineering, he likes it!
Li Yu fully exposed his fish nature and swam around proudly in the new territory!
King Jing moved him to another big bowl. He wanted to correct his impression of King Jing. The tyrant was sometimes considerate of his pet!
King Jing pursed his lips when he saw the happy look of the fish. After thinking about it, he took out a bamboo box filled with red fish food from his sleeve, carefully took out a few and put them in the bowl, so that the fish would not be too lively and hungry on the way.
Li Yu was very grateful for having something to eat, and he didn't notice that King Jing was now using such a large bowl to serve him. There were red fish food floating in the bowl, and from a distance it looked like a large bowl of wolfberry and fish soup.
King Jing held the bottom of the bowl with one hand, and with his other hand, his fingers firmly covered the top of the bowl to prevent the fish from spilling out if he was unsteady. His hand did not directly touch the body of the fish, but Li Yu could still feel the warmth from his palm.
The warm feeling was unexpectedly warm.
Li Yu originally thought that traveling with others might not be reliable, but if King Jing was protecting him like this, it should be... safe, right?
The little carp's anxious heart slowly settled down with King Jing's footsteps.
Author's words:
Small theater (fish tank)
Li Yu: Your Highness, I want something transparent, long, and very loose...
King Jing was secretly delighted and decided to ask Wang Xi to customize a lot of gauze clothes immediately.
Li Yu: ...fish tank.
King Jing: ...
Because Li Yu is a very special fish, guess what kind of fish tanks he will have?
So far, he has been in: fish baskets, blue and white porcelain fish tanks, jade bowls, and sea bowls.
