King Jing took Li Yu to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The system, which had been silent all the time, suddenly gave Li Yu a prompt.

"The prerequisite for the side quest - Bright Pearl has been met. Would the host like to start it?"

Li Yu: "..."

What's going on? He hasn't even "gotten along" with King Jing yet, and here comes another quest, which seems to be a side quest?

You can't tell anything from the quest name. Li Yu didn't want to cause any trouble. It would be very taxing for him to worry about the main quest while also worrying about the side quest. But out of curiosity, he still asked about the reward.

System: "The reward for this quest is a temporary transformation drug, which can temporarily transform the host back into human form. The drug effect lasts for one hour. If the side quest fails, there will be no punishment."

Li Yu: !!!

There is actually a medicine that can turn you into a human? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Li Yu thought cleverly, even if he could only transform for one hour, he could do this task a few more times, get a few more rewards to use in turn, wouldn't he be able to maintain his human form forever? "

This is the only reward." The system reminded the host of his naivety and stupidity. Li Yu: ...Okay, I knew you were a system that was trying to trick him. This side quest must be done, anyway, there is no loss if it fails. If there is a transformation medicine, you can choose a suitable day. One hour is equal to two hours. You can eat a lot of human food, speak a lot, and go anywhere you want - he was originally a human, not a fish. After turning into a fish, he realized how comfortable and happy it is to be a human. Although it was only for an hour, it was good to experience the feeling of being a human again! Li Yu: ... It's just one more task, I'll do it. This task called "Bright Pearl" only has one sentence, to obtain a night-shining pearl. The tasks of the pit fishing system have always been unclear. Li Yu is used to it. He has no idea what the relationship is between a fish like him and the night-shining pearl. Because the system has been introduced before, the branch tasks must have corresponding prerequisites to be opened. Since this branch task was refreshed when King Jing took him to the Qianqing Palace, it means that this task should be related to the emperor. Counting it, it is not an extra detour. Although King Jing was a king, he did not like to ride in a sedan chair. He brought Xiao Liyu and followed Wang Xi to the Qianqing Palace. The eunuch Luo Ruisheng had been waiting in front of the Qianqing Palace for a long time. When he saw King Jing, he hurriedly came up and led him into the palace. Wang Xi was not allowed to enter, so he waited outside the palace. Finally , they arrived. Li Yu swam to the surface of the water and took a look at the Qianqing Palace. It was worthy of being the emperor's bedroom. The sandalwood array was magnificent. Looking at all the rare and precious decorations, Li Yu's eyes almost popped out. However, although this place was beautiful, there was no fish tank. Li Yu still preferred the place with blue and white porcelain fish tank. It was only during this trip that he learned that the place where King Jing placed him was Jingtai Hall. Jingtai Hall was the bedroom of King Jing in the palace since he was a child. Although he was later crowned as a king and left the palace, Jingtai Hall was still reserved for King Jing. It was King Jing's real territory. Li Yu was a little proud that he had just casually found the tyrant's lair. After looking around, he failed to find the night pearl. The side quest came suddenly. Li Yu only hoped that the system would give more prompts, but the system was silent after it reminded him that he had opened the side quest. Li Yu could only put the side quest and the main quest aside together. When he had no idea, he had to go with the flow. It was still important to meet the emperor. The emperor in the book had a lot of hidden secrets with King Jing. In the original book, King Jing's mother, Empress Xiaohui, was in poor health before giving birth to King Jing. After giving birth, she was hit by her son's muteness and passed away. The emperor loved Empress Xiaohui very much, but he had mixed feelings towards his son, King Jing, and was not close to him. Especially when King Jing turned 16, the emperor ordered him to set up a residence, regardless of the fact that King Jing had not yet married. Other princes set up residences when they got married, so many people thought that King Jing was not favored. Of course, these many people did not include Li Yu, who was familiar with the plot of the whole book. 皇帝對景王疏遠，并不是真的不疼景王，而是一種變相的愛護，景王是孝慧皇後所生，出身尊貴，可是因口不能言，身份再貴重也沒了繼位的可能，早早令其封王開府，不過是為了保全這個兒子，皇帝因愛妻之死不願親近景王，可是內心深處，他也知道這是愛妻的骨血，他是希望這個兒子能夠平安一輩子的。 別的不說，景王性子并不寬和，幼時有年齡相仿的皇子嘲笑景王是啞巴，景王直接捋袖子一頓胖揍，被告到皇帝處，皇帝全都罰了，私下卻告誡其他皇子，要多讓着景王。 King Jing couldn't speak, so it was inconvenient to enlighten him. The emperor specially appointed Master Yan, who had taught the deaf and dumb. These were all ways that the emperor favored King Jing, but he never said it clearly. So Li Yu was really not worried about this trip at all. In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on a throne engraved with a flying dragon. When he saw King Jing, he nodded slightly and said, "Tianchi, you are here." King Jing placed the large bowl filled with small carp on a small table nearby and saluted seriously. The emperor smiled and called him to stand up. He glanced at his son from a distance. King Jing was still the same, cold and deserted. The emperor's eyes naturally fell on the large bowl that King Jing brought. In the emperor's cognition, bowls were mostly used to hold soup. Bringing a bowl into the Qianqing Palace was mostly to offer him soup. The emperor mistakenly thought that the prince of Jing knew his mistake, so he brought a bowl of soup to him. The emperor smiled and said, "You are thoughtful." The prince of Jing, who was caught off guard by the misunderstanding, said, "..." The emperor rarely got close to this son, and the prince of Jing was willing to please him. The emperor felt indescribably happy in his heart, and immediately ordered Luo Ruisheng to bring the "soup" that the prince of Jing had. The prince of Jing was a little slow to stop because he couldn't speak directly. Eunuch Luo had already picked up the bowl swiftly, and the eunuch beside him also handed over the silver needle. The soup looked like wolfberry and fresh fish soup, and Eunuch Luo wanted to test it as usual. He took the silver needle and lowered his head, and bumped into the eyes of a lively little carp that had its face out of the water to watch the excitement. Eunuch Luo was so surprised that he almost dropped the bowl: "Hey, what did His Royal Highness Prince Jing bring in...what is this?" Li Yu was also frightened by the sudden appearance of Eunuch Luo, and sank to the bottom of the bowl. It's still alive? Eunuch Luo was surprised, it turned out not to be fish soup! "What did Prince Jing bring as a gift?" The emperor was far away, and was also surprised by Eunuch Luo's exclamation. Eunuch Luo really didn't know how to answer. Prince Jing stood up, walked to Eunuch Luo, and silently took the bowl from Eunuch Luo's hand. Emperor: ???

Prince Jing personally brought the bowl to the emperor, but he held the bowl firmly with his hand, and did not move forward to give it to the emperor.

The emperor: "..."

The emperor saw that the bowl with large ripples was filled with a lot of clear water, and a small carp the size of a palm was swimming in it.

The emperor was stunned: "Prince Jing, what do you mean?"

Mu Tianchi smiled, casually put his fingers into the water and stirred it gently.

At this time, Li Yu had secretly seen the emperor's appearance in the water. The emperor was a square-faced uncle with a short beard. Li Yu was secretly thinking that fortunately Prince Jing only had some similarities with the emperor in his eyes, and most of his features were from Empress Xiaohui. If he had taken after the emperor, his beauty would have been greatly reduced...

Perhaps he was secretly criticizing Prince Jing in his heart, so Prince Jing suddenly took action, and Li Yu was a little at a loss.

After thinking about it, King Jing's action was actually to tease him, but this was before the emperor's thought. What exactly did King Jing want to do?

Ever since King Jing changed the bowl for him, he knew that King Jing did not intend to present it to the emperor, because the most important thing for presenting an item is its appearance. The elegant small jade bowl is obviously more pleasing to the emperor than the rough large sea bowl, but King Jing abandoned the jade bowl and did not use it, which shows that he would not use it to please the emperor.

Then why did King Jing bring him to see the emperor again? Why did he do such a thing in front of the emperor?

Who cares? When the master teases the pet, the pet must... respond.

Li Yu suppressed his shyness and went to King Jing. Anyway, it was not the first or second time that he acted cute to King Jing. He came to the gap between King Jing's fingers, hesitated for a moment, and rubbed King Jing's fingers affectionately with his fish mouth.

Oh...it smells like fish food, and it's the delicious red fish food.

At first, his movements were still a little stiff, but later he was completely willing to chase the other's fingers and play.

King Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the little carp swimming happily, with a faint light in his eyes. The emperor thought for a moment that he was seeing things. King Jing had always been cold and hard, and never showed any emotions in front of him. Now, he was teasing a fish so tenderly...

In the past, the emperor thought that King Jing was aloof, so he secretly ordered people to transfer several cats and dogs from the cat and dog room to keep King Jing company, but King Jing didn't even look at them and didn't keep any of them. The emperor thought at that time that King Jing should not like pets, but now, King Jing, who doesn't like pets, actually made an exception for a fish? ?

The emperor thought about all the possibilities in a daze, and after a long struggle, he said, "Are you trying to tell me that you raise a fish?"

Mu Tianchi nodded slightly.

The emperor was very surprised that King Jing actually raised a fish, but this son finally showed some human touch, which was a good thing.

Look at this fish again... This fish is not a famous and auspicious brocade carp, but a very common small carp, which looks like the kind that can be used to stew fish soup.

... King Jing's vision is really hard to describe.

The emperor had forgotten the purpose of summoning King Jing at this moment. He said with a twitch of his lips: "Raising fish is not bad."

King Jing: "..."

Li Yu also saw King Jing nod, and his heart was like a pony running with its head held high. Although the eunuch and he himself had already recognized that he was King Jing's pet fish, it was the first time that King Jing personally admitted it. It turned out that King Jing brought him to see the emperor to admit that he was a pet fish in front of the emperor. Isn't this pet raising too high-profile?

Li Yu was almost floating. The main task of the million pet fish was to make him King Jing's pet fish. Now King Jing admitted that he was a pet fish in front of the emperor. Does it mean that this main task has been completed?

But after waiting for a while, there was no prompt to complete the task. It seemed that it was useless for the master to admit it in person. The system of trapping fish would not admit it. They still had to continue to "get along" step by step.

A eunuch hurried in to report that the imperial concubine and the second prince were outside the palace gate to ask for an audience.

The emperor then remembered the business and glanced at King Jing meaningfully. King Jing stood up straight and teased his fish, but there was no reaction. The emperor sighed slightly and said, "Let them in."

The author has something to say:

Imperial concubine Liangliang is here, she brought her enemy cat and night pearl!!

Small drama (Mianjun)

Li Yu: Why did your highness bring the fish to see the emperor?

King Jing: Let everyone know that you are my fish.

Don't worry, King Jing will recover.
