Aunt Jinhua frowned slightly and said slowly: "I heard that the imperial concubine couldn't bear such a shock and fainted directly, and asked someone to invite His Majesty to the Yikun Palace."
"His Majesty...has already gone to visit the Yikun Palace."
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly darkened. The Imperial Concubine's skill was still too superficial.
This is also the reason why the Queen Mother dislikes her.
The education and scheming skills that a noble lady from an aristocratic family received since childhood are not something she can learn in a short period of time.
If the imperial concubine becomes the queen in the future, not to mention whether she has the skills to lead the harem, just because of her jealousy, she will never be able to become a qualified queen.
After Jun Zechen returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he sat on the dragon throne, staring intently at the leader of the secret guards, Lingyi, who was standing below him, with anger flashing in his eyes.
"I just want you to find a fish. Is it that difficult?"
Jun Zechen's secret guards are divided into his own private guards and royal secret guards.
The private guards were trained by him personally when he was the crown prince, while the royal secret guards were passed down by the royal family to every generation of emperors.
This time, Jun Zechen sent private guards to search. In Jun Kingdom, he already had many industries spread across various cities, and each city was equipped with corresponding secret guards.
It has been four days since Yaoyao's birthday, but there is still no news.
Lingyi stood quietly. He was wearing a cold mask, so his expression could not be seen at all. However, his voice was exceptionally cold and hard.
"Your Majesty, I have already ordered the secret guards in each city to search for it with all their might. There are many cities in the kingdom with developed fishing industries. Now we only know the general appearance of the butterfly carp, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is really difficult."
"I just don't know what special environmental requirements this butterfly carp has?"
Jun Zechen was silent for a moment. This butterfly carp is so rare?
The secret guards usually go to the places in each city where there are the most varieties of fish. If they can't find them in those places, then the world is so big that there are many more places to look.
Jun Zechen thought for a while, and Yaoyao seemed to say that she had read a book.
Then he turned his head slightly and instructed Anshun: "Anshun, send someone to invite Minister Su. I am very curious about the book "Records of Strange Beasts" in his collection. Ask Minister Su to bring the book."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Anshun responded respectfully, then stepped back and ordered someone to go out of the palace to summon Minister Su.
When Minister Su, who had met with some court officials to handle government affairs in the palace, heard His Majesty's request, he was confused. What is the book "Records of Strange Beasts"?
He didn't have any impression of it. Could it be that Yaoyao told His Majesty about it?
Although he had many questions in his mind, Minister Su asked his colleagues to return home first, and then he quickly walked to his own study to find the book that His Majesty wanted.
There are thousands of books in this study, all neatly placed on the bookshelf.
Most of the books that Minister Su read were related to politics, history, and strategy. Only his daughter, who read all kinds of books, would pay attention to books like "Records of Strange Beasts".
By the time Minister Su finally found it, he was already sweating profusely, and the young eunuch waiting outside also looked a little anxious.
Then he hurried towards the palace.
This was the first time he came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity for matters not related to state affairs.
As soon as he walked in, he saw His Majesty sitting upright on the majestic dragon throne, dealing with memorials with a calm expression.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Minister Su walked steadily to the center of the hall and saluted respectfully.
"Minister Su, please stand up." Jun Zechen's voice was calm and steady.
When Jun Zechen first ascended the throne of the crown prince, he had a head-on confrontation with Minister Su in the court.
However, it is normal to have different political views.
Minister Su's ability to handle government affairs is obvious to all. He is an old fox with deep plans.
However, because he is Yaoyao's father, Jun Zechen likes him much more.
Minister Su presented the book, and then An Shun stepped forward to take the book and respectfully handed it to Jun Zechen.
Jun Zechen flipped through the book carelessly and asked casually, "Does Minister Su know about Butterfly Carp?"
Minister Su frowned slightly and answered with a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
At this time, Jun Zechen happened to find the introduction about butterfly carp in this book.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly with a hint of ridicule.
"It seems that Minister Su is not familiar enough with the books in his study."
Then he continued, "The butterfly carp recorded in this book is extremely beautiful and likes warm waters with pure and sweet water. From this description, I think it is possible that it grows in Yulong City."
A hint of thought flashed across Jun Zechen's eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly. The butterfly carp has such high requirements for the environment that it is not easy to transport it to the capital alive.
Minister Su is still a little confused. Why did His Majesty call him here?
Although he didn't understand, he quickly replied: "If Your Majesty likes this butterfly carp, I will notify the mayor of Yulong City to search various lakes and find it for Your Majesty."
"Well, I trust Minister Su. Please give orders for the cities where the butterfly carp described in the book may grow. I like this butterfly carp. Please have someone find it and present it to me. I will reward you handsomely."
There was a hint of majesty on Jun Zechen's face.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Minister Su replied respectfully.
He did not have any extra thoughts about His Majesty's request, nor did he think it was a luxury because it was time-consuming and laborious.
After all, every year each city worries about what to present to His Majesty. Since His Majesty has what he wants this year, just let the cities below look for it.
I wonder what Minister Su would think if he knew that his Majesty had called him to the palace to look for the butterfly carp in order to please his daughter.
