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 instructed Minister Su to search for Butterfly Carp in all cities where they might have them, five days 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 as a tribute. 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 searched for a water source similar to the one in Yulong City. After trying every possible means, they finally managed to save the remaining two.
In the past few days, he had not summoned her to the Palace of Purity. It was extremely unbearable for him to watch her but not be able to enjoy her.
These days he sat in the imperial study to handle government affairs, and his mood was always depressed.
At this moment, Anshun suddenly hurried in with an excited look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Butterfly Carp are about to arrive at the Imperial City!"
Anshun also figured it out. Concubine Chunshu must be the apple of His Majesty's eye in the harem. After all, he knew how much effort His Majesty had put into finding Butterfly Carp for Concubine Chunshu.
It took several days to transport the butterfly carp from Yulong's discovery to here. Seeing that His Majesty was becoming more and more irritable, the palace maids in the Palace of Heavenly Purity 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, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Really?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the butterfly carp should be here in another hour." Anshun'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 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 surrounded a huge water tank, which contained the butterfly carp.
It’s no wonder she likes it, this butterfly carp is really beautiful.
"Why use such a huge water tank?"
Moreover, there are only two fish in the water tank, but it takes almost a dozen people to hold the tank together.
"Your Majesty, if the butterfly carp lives in a place that is too narrow, it will easily die."
Jun Zechen nodded slightly in approval.
Then, he walked towards Zhaochun Palace. Anshun hurriedly ordered people to carefully take Butterfly Carp and follow His Majesty towards Zhaochun Palace.
When Jun Zechen walked to Zhaochun Palace, he glanced at her and saw that she was half lying on the couch, with a lazy and leisurely posture.
Holding the stars in her arms, she was reading a book in one hand.
The little person named Xingxing opened his big watery eyes and stared at the book.
He looked so cute.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. How could a child who was only more than three months old still be interested 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, blinked her eyes, and there was a trace of confusion on her face.
Why did he come here suddenly? Could it be that he found the butterfly carp?
"Greetings to His Majesty."
She originally planned to stand up and salute, but Jun Zechen stopped her.
"What are you looking at?"
Jun Zechen walked to the side of the mother and son, then sat down naturally, his hand habitually around her waist.
"Your Majesty, take a look?"
Su Jingyao smiled slightly and slowly moved the book in front of him.
This is a picture book that Su Jingyao drew specifically for the stars. It is filled with high-contrast colorful patterns.
Although I can’t understand the stars now, I will keep staring at them in fascination.
When the little guy was looking at the picture album, his big eyes were full of concentration, which was so cute.
Jun Zechen glanced at the album quickly and asked softly, "Did Yaoyao draw this?"
Su Jingyao replied with a hint of pouting, "If it wasn't painted by me, could it be that it was painted by Your Majesty?"
"I just asked casually."
After saying that, he carefully took out Xingxing who was lying in 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 moved 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 look so frustrated, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
Jun Zechen heard the deep meaning in her words and couldn't help but frown slightly. He asked in a deep voice: "If I can't find the butterfly carp, will Yaoyao ignore me?"
Su Jingyao's bright eyes rolled around, and then her body suddenly softened, and she leaned gently on his broad shoulders.
She parted her red lips and whispered softly, "No, I miss Your Majesty too."
