Li Yu thought the next step would be to promote the relationship between him and King Jing, an even more shameless task, but the result was "sharing joys and sorrows". Does this indicate what kind of hardships they will encounter next?
Even if there are, it doesn't matter. He and King Jing share joys and sorrows all the time. As lovers, how can they only care about enjoying themselves? No matter what happens, he will accompany him and go forward and backward together.
This step will definitely be completed, Li Yu is very confident.
The reward of "sharing joys and sorrows" is still a secret of King Jing.
It seems that sooner or later, all the secrets of King Jing will be emptied out.
Li Yu smiled, exited the system, and glanced at the bed with concern. King Jing should be resting and not paying attention to the fish tank. Li Yu swam to the silver stone bed and wrapped himself in the water grass blanket.
Recalling the scene of having sex with King Jing in the quilt, the unusually active Yu felt a little embarrassed at this moment. His heart was throbbing, and he excitedly fanned his tail, as if he could drive away all the embarrassment by torturing himself like this.
... Forget it, I've done it. There will be more powerful things in the future. Why should I be shy?
Li Yu kept comforting himself, but he still fanned himself dozens of times and slowly fell asleep.
The person on the bed waited until Yu's movements completely disappeared, then opened his eyes and looked at Yu tenderly.
Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jin Jue's wedding date was approaching. The little princess had invited Li Yu to attend the wedding, and Li Yu also agreed. Seeing that the wedding was coming soon, Li Yu felt that it was time to prepare gifts for Ye Shizi and the princess. He couldn't just wait until the time was right and start.
However, he had to accompany King Jing to work during the day in his fish form, and to fall in love with King Jing at night in his human form. King Jing had to be involved in everything, so Li Yu had to pick a day and ask King Jing to accompany him to buy gifts.
King Jing didn't really understand. This kind of thing in the mansion was usually handled by Wang Xi. King Jing never worried about what Ye Qinghuan liked. Why did Xiaoyu go to buy it himself? Wasn't it enough to just pick something from the warehouse?
"Your Highness, this is my heart, and I must prepare it myself to show my sincerity." Li Yu explained.
King Jing was very unhappy that Xiaoyu was busying around for others, but he was still very happy to accompany Xiaoyu out, and followed Li Yu closely throughout the whole process.
Li Yu likes shiny and gold things, and his gift-giving style is consistent with his usual style. Considering the identities of Prince Ye and the princess, there is no need to consider whether the gift is practical or not. Li Yu, relying on her boyfriend's support, breaks into an antique shop that looks very upscale, wanting to buy a high-end antique to give to the prince and his wife.
However, Li Yu had no taste for antiques. He first chose a purple gold incense burner. Because he and King Jing had agreed not to reveal their identities, the two of them were walking without guards. In addition, King Jing himself rarely went shopping, so the store owner thought they were fat sheep and deliberately exaggerated their own. Li Yu thought the incense burner was golden and engraved with heavy patterns. He was very moved and was about to pay for it. King Jing couldn't bear to watch it, so he silently knocked on the incense burner with his finger joints. A big hole was broken in the incense burner cover, revealing the color of the stone. It turned out that it was just covered with a layer of gold.
Li Yu: "..."
Oh, oh, oh, it turns out that the beautiful antique incense burner is a fake!
This can't be blamed on Yu, who has no experience and can't tell.
However, antiques, since they can be called ancient, should be gray. If they are made to shine brightly, there must be something wrong, so they can't be bought!
The shopkeeper who sold fakes was caught by Eunuch Wang and his guards and taken to the government office.
Li Yu quickly learned his lesson and cheered up. He changed shops and chose another dressing box. The shopkeeper patted his chest and said that it was an old thing of a princess in the previous dynasty. Li Yu also thought that the box was antique and looked very old, so it should be authentic, and the princess's things would be good for the princess. Li Yu was about to buy it when King Jing coughed lightly and glanced out the window. Li Yu followed him and saw a row of identical "old things from the previous dynasty" on the roadside stalls.
Li Yu: "…………"
Li Yu was deeply shocked and felt that he was not cut out to buy antiques, so he decided to buy gold and silver ornaments instead.
He chose a gold and jade screen and thought it would be fine, but there was a very hidden crack on the back of the screen, which was discovered by the sharp-eyed King Jing. King Jing only touched it once and the screen broke in two.
Li Yu then chose a pair of green dragon and phoenix cards, and King Jing casually poured a cup of cool tea on them. It turned out that the jade used to make the cards was fake jade, and the dark green on the jade was infiltrated with pigment. With just a cup of cool tea, the green color was washed away. He
went from store to store, but everything that Li Yu saw at first sight was either fake or sprained. The shop owners were caught one after another by Wang Xi, but Li Yu still got nothing.
It's still a koi, what kind of luck is this!
Li Yu was very unhappy. He was always deceived by a series of fakes. Doesn't this mean that his vision is so bad that he is almost blind?
Li Yu was furious and was about to leave with a snort. King Jing grabbed him and stuffed something into his hand.
Li Yu was not angry with King Jing, but he always picked fakes, which made him look stupid, and Li Yu couldn't afford to lose face. For
the sake of his boyfriend, he calmed down a little and looked down at the thing that King Jing stuffed into him. It turned out to be another small goldfish, the same model as the one King Jing gave him before, and the same cute look, but the movements were different. The previous one curled its tail, and this one pouted its mouth and blew bubbles stupidly.
Li Yu frowned and glanced at King Jing, who was also looking at him. Li Yu knew that the other party was begging for mercy again, so he laughed and held the fish in his palm, not angry anymore.
How many little goldfish are there?
Li Yu took the initiative to move closer and let King Jing help him hang up the fish.
King Jing hooked his lips, hung up the fish for him, then took his hand and took him to the largest silver shop in the imperial city.
The owner of the silver shop often did business with dignitaries and recognized King Jing, so he hurriedly came up to greet him and exchanged a few words.
Li Yu realized that the fish King Jing sent him were all custom-made here.
He was so stupid, why did he go to find a store by himself, why didn't he ask King Jing's opinion earlier, so that he took such a long detour and was still deceived.
Because he had not expected that King Jing would come to the jewel shop.
With King Jing standing by to keep him in check, the boss took the initiative to put out all the best goods for Master Li to choose from. Li Yu let go and chose a pair of silver bottles, a pair of golden ruyi, and a pair of lifelike jade dolls.
King Jing left a few silver bills, and the boss quickly ordered someone to pack them up and then sent them to the palace.
There were not many opportunities to come to the jewel shop, so Li Yu thought about it and added an oval silver bead.
This bead was about the size of a thumb, and the pattern on it was a bit like the earth in the world, which caught Li Yu's attention. Li Yu felt that King Jing had given him so many things, but he had never given King Jing anything in a proper way.
Li Yu asked the boss for a piece of red string, and personally threaded the red string through the beads and handed it to King Jing.
"This is for Your Highness, thank you for taking care of me!" Li Yu said with a smile.
The others were bought by King Jing with banknotes, this one is really his!
Li Yu rushed to take out a bulging light golden wallet to pay. In fact, this was also given by Wang Xi when he left the palace, so it was not his money. But since it came from his hand, it was considered as his purchase!
Beads like this in the silver shop should be very expensive, right? Li Yu thought intuitively.
The owner of the silver shop hesitated to say that these were just small beads used for decoration, worthless, and could be given away for free. However, facing the cold eyes of King Jing and the expectant eyes of the young master beside King Jing, the owner hesitated and weakly reported a number. Li Yu paid the money excitedly.
The beads were indeed a bit expensive, and Li Yu felt a little painful to pay the money, but you get what you pay for. Seeing King Jing put the beads on in front of him, Li Yu was in a very happy mood and felt that his vision was not irreversible.
At least, he was good at choosing boyfriends!
After buying the gifts, King Jing ordered people to rewrite the gift list after returning home, and put the gifts that Li Yu bought in it.
"Why should I put it together with your Highness's?"
Li Yu knew that the ones he bought could not compare with those of King Jing.
King Jing personally wrote Li Yu's name next to his own and glanced at him with unexpected depth.
Li Yu suddenly realized and blushed.
The seat next to the king belongs to the princess. Why did King Jing put their gifts and names together? Of course, it is because he treats her as a family member and the princess.
Or is it just a love affair? Should I be the princess or not?
Li Yu thought about it and didn't say no.
On the wedding day, Li Yu wore the coral red embroidered silver lotus pattern brocade robe made for him by King Jing. He tied his hair with a jade hairpin and a string of tinkling little goldfish pendants around his waist. He was very smart and noble.
Prince Jing also wore a black robe with crimson edges that matched his, and a red headband, looking handsome and extraordinary.
Li Yu glanced over and laughed, they both seemed to be wearing couple outfits, would they steal the limelight from Master Ye?
Prince Jing held his waist and told him to be at ease, His Highness Prince Jing didn't care what Ye Qinghuan thought.
After both of them were ready, the carriage set off, and Li Yu followed Prince Jing in the carriage, but he noticed something was wrong after getting in.
The last time they went to the market, it was clearly a very cramped carriage, but this time it was very spacious, more than enough to accommodate two people, with tables, tea, and even his favorite snacks all prepared.
Prince Jing smiled and took Li Yu's hand, and sat down with Li Yu.
Li Yu glared at King Jing angrily, thinking that what he did was still a mess!
In order to prevent Xiaoyu from changing back halfway, King Jing still brought a "fish pet" to the Cheng'en Mansion.
The crystal bottle was placed in the corner, and the fish pillow floated quietly, as if looking at the two of them.
The carriage started, and King Jing stuffed a storybook into Li Yu's hand. Of course, it was not the kind with a fairy. King Jing found that Li Yu liked to read storybooks very much. This time, the carriage was very large. Li Yu lay down comfortably, leaning on his knees, flipping through the storybook while talking to him. King Jing
picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and tore it into several pieces very cooperatively. One of the pieces was put into the crystal bottle to "feed the fish", and the others were fed to the carp spirit that opened its mouth wide and cried for food.
Cheng'en Mansion arrived soon.
On this day, Cheng'en Mansion was bustling with people and decorated with lights. The wedding of Ye Shizi and Princess Jin Jue was attended not only by the Jin Jue royal family, relatives and friends of Cheng Engong Mansion, but also many important officials of the court who came to congratulate. Chief Steward Luo brought the emperor's edict and awarded a lot of gifts. The gift list could not be read out in a short time. King Jin Jue also loved this daughter very much. The wedding procession stretched for ten miles and the dowry was hundreds of loads.
Li Yu followed King Jing and was personally welcomed into the house by the groom Ye Shizi.
King Jing nodded slightly to Cheng Engong who was sitting on the main seat. The current Cheng Engong is the brother of Queen Xiaohui, and he and King Jing are uncle and nephew. When the two met, many things were unspoken.
Cheng Engong's wife, King Jing's aunt, was also entertaining guests. When she saw King Jing and the young men around him coming in pairs, she smiled.
Soon, a maid came over and handed Li Yu a pair of jade butterflies, smiling and saying, "Madam, thank you for your Highness and Mr. Li coming to watch the ceremony, and I wish you two a long and happy marriage."
Li Yu: ???
Li Yu took the butterfly and saw from afar the wife of Duke Cheng'en looking at him with a smile.
Li Yu wondered, wasn't Ye Qinghuan getting married today? Why did she tell him and King Jing about it?
Could it be -
Li Yu suddenly realized, could it be that King Jing was also taking him to meet the parents of Duke Cheng'en's mansion today?
Li Yu covered his face, how could it be so sudden? I was not prepared at all!
