Li Yu could only see that King Jing wanted to help, so he smiled and teased, "What can your highness do to help me? Actually, it's not a big deal. I can do it myself."
He had even laid the most incredible fish eggs, so it was not difficult to just calm down and hatch the little fish.
King Jing pursed his lips, shook his head lightly, and asked Li Yu to repeat the precautions, then dipped one hand into the fish tank and carefully held the fish eggs in his hand.
The fish eggs were still too small, and an adult's hand was enough to hold all four of them. King Jing kept holding the eggs without moving. After a while, he carefully and slowly changed his other hand, still immersed in the water to hold the fish eggs.
The hand he changed out had turned a little white from being soaked, so King Jing wrapped it with a cloth towel and waited for the next time, then changed to this one, and repeated it over and over again.
Li Yu was confused at first, but after he repeated it several times, Li Yu cried out "Ah" softly.
Now I know, King Jing wants to use the warmth of his palm to help hatch the little fish. Not only is he willing to believe everything he says, he is also willing to help him hatch the fish eggs...
How can there be such a considerate person in the world? Li Yu was moved beyond words.
You are tired, take a rest.
King Jing smiled without any grudges and looked at the empty chair beside him.
"Your Highness!"
Li Yu rushed over, but instead of sitting in the chair, he rushed behind King Jing and hugged him tightly from behind.
King Jing was lightly hit by the force of his rush, and hurriedly protected the fish eggs in his hand. He wanted to hug Li Yu with his other free hand, but the palm of this hand was not warm yet and was a little cold.
King Jing was always prudent, but at this moment he was also flustered.
"Your Highness, it's okay, you are so kind..."
Li Yu put his cheek on the broad back and rubbed it comfortably, wiping away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
Since he learned that he was pregnant, he laid eggs and hatched them by himself, and endured a lot of grievances and scares.
But seeing the happy smile on King Jing's lips, Li Yu also smiled, and felt that these were nothing.
No matter whether he is a human or a carp spirit, no matter whether he can give birth or not, and what he gives birth to, at least King Jing will always trust him and be his warm harbor.
Li Yu gave up the empty chair next to him and squeezed into a seat with King Jing.
King Jing was not vague either. He let Li Yu sit in his arms and kissed his lips. Then he held him with one hand and hatched the fish with the other.
You take a rest.
King Jing let Li Yu sleep on his shoulder again.
Li Yu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I'm not sleepy, really!"
He had just started hatching for less than an hour, and he was lying on the silver stone bed the whole time, so he was not tired at all. And he was originally sitting on King Jing. If he wanted to lean on him again, King Jing would be tired, right?
But no matter how he explained, King Jing still insisted on letting him lean on him.
Li Yu had no choice but to agree. He leaned on King Jing and watched him hatch the fish. When King Jing changed hands, Li Yu took the initiative to help wipe off the water stains, held up the cold hands, and put them in his arms to warm them.
The eggs should be incubated for four days, so King Jing stayed there for four days. If there was any urgent business to be handled during this period, he would have someone put it outside the door, and wait until the servants left before bringing the business in. He would handle it while hatching the fish, and put it back the same way when he was done.
Li Yu received the main line reward, and his transformation time doubled again. Now he can maintain his human form for two hours. He wanted to take turns with King Jing, but King Jing kept emphasizing that he had enough. Li Yu urged him to rest, and King Jing only slept for an hour before waking up in a hurry. The first thing he did after waking up was still to hatch the fish.
King Jing was so dedicated that Li Yu had been jealous of him before, but now he felt that even a fish egg was more favored than him, and soaked in the vinegar pot again, which was quite a lot of fun.
On the fourth day, Li Yu accidentally fell asleep, as he had promised to see the little fish hatch with his own eyes.
In his dream, something seemed to be rubbing his face. Li Yu rubbed his eyes and sat up.
King Jing was standing in front of him, with his hands suddenly behind his back, with a childish look of pride.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Are they finally out?"
King Jing nodded, coughed lightly, and slowly withdrew his hands behind his back in Li Yu's expectant eyes.
The clenched fingers opened slightly, and in the palm of his hand, four inch-long transparent young fish swam!
Li Yu shouted excitedly, and King Jing put the young fish in his palm and let Li Yu look at them for a while.
Although he is the biological father, Li Yu could not tell the difference between the four young fishes. However, his other biological father, King Jing, insisted that the four young fishes all looked very much like him.
Li Yu: "..."
Wake up, Your Highness. How long does it take for a fish to grow like a human? If you want to brag, you should at least wait until these young fishes can transform into human form before you brag, right? ?
King Jing found a teacup prepared for Li Yu and put the four young fishes in it. Although the fish tank is bigger, it might be difficult to find these young fishes if they are put in.
Li Yu can now transform and cancel the transformation, and he mischievously squeezed his eyes at King Jing.
Being a fish is not without its advantages. The next moment, he restored his fish body and jumped into the teacup.
Will the young fishes recognize him? Will they - talk to him?
Li Yu slowly swam towards the four young fishes.
The young fish soon discovered him and swam towards Li Yu. Li Yu rubbed the young fish affectionately with his mouth.
He was still very young. If he had not traveled through the book and became a fish, he would never have had this experience and did not know how to get along with the young fish. But the moment he saw the young fish, he knew that he loved them. Whether they were fish or people, he would do his best to protect them.
The young fish could not communicate at this time. They all had almost transparent bodies and dark eyes. They swam around Li Yu and were very smart.
Li Yu had learned from the system in advance how to feed such small fish. King Jing followed his instructions and wrapped the cooked egg yolk in gauze, put it in the water and shook it gently, and sprinkled a lot of soy milk into the water.
Three of the young fish were immediately attracted and scrambled to eat. The remaining one was still foolishly circling around Li Yu. Li Yu gently pushed and nudged it, and it dove into the soy milk.
The system prompts: "Congratulations host, your current mode has changed to team, and your child, the young fish, has joined the team."
Li Yu: "..."
Is this okay? Team up with the young fish to complete the mission!
I remember the system said that the first shot is only useful for the first time, and all subsequent pregnancies are normal. But even so, four were conceived at once, so it would be a lot of pregnancies, right?
The young fish will grow up and have offspring, and maybe there will be a tank of fish eggs and grandchildren in the future. Wow, raising fish really revitalizes the family.
This team is probably going to form a group.
Other people's revival is one or two.
His family has one or two tanks.
King Jing should be able to raise so many young fish...
After experiencing giving birth once, Li Yu has adapted to it and finds it quite interesting. If he wants to have children in the future, let King Jing work hard.
Although the gestation period for fish-shaped children is not long, it takes nine months from a young fish to a real baby, which is almost the same as the human gestation period. The next period of time is the time for the young fish to grow into an adult, which is particularly important.
King Jing asked someone to take a special look and confirmed that the four fish cubs were all small males, which meant that they would all grow into boys in the future.
After the genders were determined, King Jing also started to name the fish cubs. The next generation of the royal family would follow his heart. King Jing circled the four words Kai, Xin, Wei, and Heng for the cubs. Li Yu couldn't tell the difference between the cubs for a while, but King Jing knew very well. He also knew the order in which the fish cubs hatched, and decided the ranking accordingly.
King Jing wanted a big name, and Li Yu wanted a nickname. He picked a few cute nicknames, but there might be more fish cubs in the future. In order to save trouble, Li Yu unified the nicknames into Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao. It was enough to use nicknames when they were young. When they grow up and become humans, they will use the big names given by King Jing.
The names were all chosen and the order was sorted out. Li Yu thought that was it. But King Jing took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve and stuffed it into Li Yu's hand.
The children of the royal family have to learn a lot since they were young. Now they are in the western frontier, and the conditions are not as good as those in the palace. However, King Jing will not let the fish babies down. When they can speak, King Jing plans to invite two of the best teachers from the imperial city to teach them.
King Jing thought a lot when hatching the fish babies. He wrote them down one by one, and turned them into a stack of papers, which he handed over to Li Yu for review.
Li Yu thought that raising fish babies was just raising fish babies: !!!
So, is this how you raise fish babies? ?
Looking at King Jing, who was as high-spirited as if he was going to the battlefield, and looking at the four fish babies fighting for the egg yolk, Li Yu seemed to see his miserable student days.
With a fish father whose grades are not that good, what can the fish cubs do?
Well, should he tell King Jing that the fish cubs have been shipped and are not returnable or exchangeable!
Li Yu flipped through the papers and found a piece of red paper.
He was wondering why there was an extra piece of paper that was completely different and particularly eye-catching. Was there something on it that required his special attention?
Li Yu took a closer look and was stunned. This piece of red paper was stamped with King Jing's seal and it said "A good marriage forever".
"Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Li Yu looked at King Jing, and King Jing was also looking at him expectantly, with deep affection in his eyes, as if he wanted to sweep him away.
King Jing took out the jade statue and stone fish given on the day of the wedding consummation and placed them on the red paper.
On the side with the seal was the jade statue. The fish side was still empty.
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu has always had a good imagination. Could the red paper and a pair of tokens be what he thought? ?
"Your Highness, you--"
Li Yu asked excitedly with a red face, "Are you proposing?"
He thought he looked at marriage very rationally, but when he learned that he might have been proposed to, he couldn't control his joy.
It was a proposal of marriage. King Jing was handsome and solemn.
In the past, for the purpose of protecting Xiaoyu, he failed to give Xiaoyu a status in time, but plans could not keep up with changes. Now that he had a child, he would never let Xiaoyu and the child suffer any criticism.
