Chapter 60 No More Endurance
These past few days, Jun Zechen stayed in the Qianqing Palace and felt increasingly irritated. That little woman must have done it on purpose!
After he had instructed Minister Su to search for butterfly carp in all cities that might have them, five days had passed before they finally found traces of butterfly carp in Yulong City.
Afterwards, the people of Yulong City encountered many problems while transporting the butterfly carp. Originally, they brought a total of five when they presented them. However, the butterfly carp has extremely strict requirements for its growth environment, and three of them died on the way.
Upon seeing this, the transporters hurriedly looked for a water source similar to the one in Yulong City. After trying every possible means, they managed to save the remaining two.
In the past few days, he had not summoned her to the Qianqing Palace. It was extremely unbearable for him to have to watch her but not be able to enjoy her.
These few days he sat in Yu's study to handle government affairs, and his mood was always gloomy.
At this moment, An Shun suddenly hurried in with an excited look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the butterfly carp is about to arrive at the imperial city!"
An Shun also figured it out. Concubine Chun Shu must be the apple of His Majesty's eye in the harem. After all, he knew how much effort His Majesty had put in finding a butterfly carp for Concubine Chun Shu.
It took several days to transport the butterfly carp from the time Yulong found it. Seeing that His Majesty was becoming more and more irritable, the palace maids in the Qianqing Palace became more and more cautious in their service.
Now that the butterfly carp has finally arrived, Your Majesty should be in a better mood.
After hearing this, Jun Zechen raised his head, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Really?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the butterfly carp should be here in another hour." An Shun's face was full of smiles.
Jun Zechen suppressed his smile. Today he would definitely punish the ignorant Concubine Chun Shu for deliberately setting a trap for him.
If he hadn't kept his gentleman's agreement with her, why would he have endured such hardship for almost half a month?
Time passed by minute by minute, and during this hour, Jun Zechen had no intention of reviewing the memorials.
After the butterfly carp was delivered, Jun Zechen walked out of the palace. The palace servants were surrounding a huge water tank, which contained the butterfly carp.
No wonder she likes it, this butterfly carp is really beautiful.
“Why use such a huge water tank?”
Moreover, there were only two fish in the tank, but it took nearly a dozen people to hold the tank in place.
"Your Majesty, if the butterfly carp lives in a place that is too narrow, it will easily die."
Jun Zechen nodded slightly to show his approval.
Afterwards, he set off towards Soshun Palace. An Shun quickly ordered someone to carefully take Butterfly Carp and follow behind His Majesty towards Soshun Palace.
When Jun Zechen walked to Zhaochun Palace, he glanced around and saw her half lying on the couch, looking lazy and relaxed.
Holding the stars in one hand and reading a book in the other.
The little person named Xingxing, with a pair of big watery eyes, was also staring at the book.
Don't even mention how cute she looks.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. How could a child who was only three months old have any interest in books?
But Xingxing didn't cry or make a fuss. She stared at the book and seemed to be reading very seriously.
Su Jingyao, who was holding the child, suddenly felt the light suddenly dim. She slowly raised her head and blinked, with a look of confusion on her face.
Why did he come here suddenly? Did he find the butterfly carp?
"Greetings to His Majesty."
She originally planned to stand up and salute, but Jun Zechen stopped her with his hand.
"What are you looking at?"
Jun Zechen walked to the side of the mother and son, then sat down naturally, his hands habitually holding her waist.
"Your Majesty, take a look?"
Su Jingyao smiled slightly and slowly put the book in front of him.
This is a picture book that Su Jingyao drew specifically for stars. It contains high-contrast color pictures.
Although I can't understand the stars now, I will keep staring at them intently.
When the little guy was looking at the picture book, his big eyes were full of concentration, which was extremely adorable.
Jun Zechen glanced at the album quickly and asked softly, "Did Yaoyao draw this?"
Su Jingyao replied with a hint of annoyance: "It wasn't drawn by me, could it be that it was drawn by Your Majesty?"
"I was just asking casually."
After saying that, he carefully took Xingxing out from Su Jingyao's arms.
Jun Zechen gently lifted Xingxing's arms with both hands and slowly brought the little guy to him.
Then he lowered his head slightly and looked closely into the stars' big, round, sparkling eyes.
"Of course my son looks like me, but why did Your Majesty come here today?"
Su Jingyao's eyes flickered and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Jun Zechen has been in a bad mood recently, and she knows it's because of her promise.
After all, Jun Zechen arrogantly thought that it was just a fish. How could he not get or find something?
But it took so long, it's normal to feel a little angry.
However, Su Jingyao didn't have many opportunities to see him looking so stupid, and she couldn't help but secretly find it a little funny, but she didn't show it on her face.
Jun Zechen heard the deep meaning in her words, and couldn't help but frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "If I can't find the butterfly carp, will Yaoyao ignore me?"
Su Jingyao's lively eyes rolled around, and then her body suddenly softened, and she leaned gently on his broad shoulders.
She opened her red lips and whispered softly, "No, I miss your majesty too."
Since this man has come to Zhaochun Palace, he must have found it. He always likes to hear good words, so it is better not to provoke him today.
It seems that he really put a lot of effort in finding this butterfly carp.
After hearing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.
She has a conscience.
Then he ordered, "Miaoyun, carry the eldest prince down."
Miaoyun took the eldest prince from His Majesty, and Jun Zechen walked out of the hall holding Su Jingyao's hand.
"Where is your majesty taking me?"
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, confusion revealed in her voice.
"Yaoyao, just come out with me."
Jun Zechen took her hand and walked out with her.
Su Jingyao followed Jun Zechen out curiously, and saw a dozen people surrounding a water tank.
A gleam of surprise flashed in her eyes for a moment.
She and Jun Zechen stood at a slightly higher position, looking down, and could clearly see the butterfly carp in the tank.
"It's really a butterfly carp!" she couldn't help but blurt out, her face full of excitement and joy.
"I have only seen it in books before, but I never thought that the real butterfly carp would be even more beautiful than what was described in the books."
As she spoke, she stared at the butterfly carp.
The sunlight shines on the water, making the butterfly carp's long and numerous fins look particularly beautiful as it swims, like a dream and intoxicating.
Jun Zechen looked at her delighted expression and suddenly felt that all the time and effort spent on searching for the butterfly carp was worth it.
Then, he slowly said: "However, the growth of butterfly carp has high requirements for the environment. This butterfly carp was found in a lake deep in the mountains of Yulong City. I specially left someone from Yulong City to take care of the butterfly carp for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so kind,"
Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen with eyes as bright as stars, full of admiration, and her passionate gaze seemed to be able to melt people's hearts.
Of course, the emotional value must be given in sufficient amount, otherwise how can you expect him to continue giving you gifts?
Jun Zechen also looked at her with deep eyes. Her eyes were so hot that they seemed to burn his heart.
No matter how beautiful the butterfly carp is, it is not as beautiful as she is now.
Su Jingyao turned her head and looked back at the water tank. "Your Majesty, where is this butterfly carp kept?"
"We will raise them in a pond first, but the water in the pond needs to be replaced. The water quality that butterfly carp are adapted to is similar to that of Wangyue Lake in the capital. When the time comes, we will move the water from Wangyue Lake to the pond in your Soshun Palace."
Jun Zechen thought seriously and answered carefully.
"But the fish in your pond now need to be raised somewhere else. I have ordered someone to build you another pond. Fortunately, Zhaochun Palace is big enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am deeply touched by your thoughtful consideration."
After reading it, Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
He doesn't want to be touched.
Jun Zechen waved his hand and ordered someone to take the butterfly carp away.
Then he took Su Jingyao's soft little hand and walked into the hall.
After entering the bedroom, Miaoyun and the others were very tactful and tactfully did not follow.
Jun Zechen picked the person up directly, and his eyes were filled with extremely obvious desire, as hot as a burning flame.
"Yaoyao, do you know how much pain I have endured?" He deliberately lowered his voice, and it made people's bones melt just by listening to it.
His hug was so sudden that Su Jingyao couldn't help but look surprised, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.
In order to prevent herself from falling, she almost subconsciously quickly wrapped her legs around his thin waist and put her hands around his neck.
Hearing his obvious words, a shy blush suddenly appeared on her face, as charming as the sunset in the sky.
She whispered, "I don't know."
Jun Zechen held her and walked step by step to the bed, then sat on it. Su Jingyao sat at the root of his legs, kneeling on the bed with her legs bent.
Because they were face to face, Jun Zechen looked closely at her face, which was as red as a peach blossom, and her slightly trembling curly eyelashes. She looked charming and innocent.
It made his originally dark and deep eyes even darker, as if they could absorb all the light.
Jun Zechen couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out a hand to hold her head tightly, and kissed her impatiently.
With his other hand, he untied the hairband tied in the middle of her black hair, and her long hair spread out like a waterfall in an instant.
Such a scene is really beautiful.
