Chapter 110
King Jing didn’t know what he meant, but Xiaoyu looked as if he was facing a great enemy. King Jing shook his head and said, “No.”
Perhaps Xiaoyu didn’t like that he was too close to the fish substitute. King Jing couldn’t even let others touch Xiaoyu. If he put himself in Xiaoyu’s shoes, it should be the same.
Li Yu still felt a little uncomfortable after receiving his assurance. Fortunately, King Jing didn’t show too much affection for the fish substitute. Most of the time, he was looking at him or the children.
Li Yu’s jealous mind finally calmed down. Thinking about it, the fish substitute was just an ordinary koi fish, not a “goblin” that could transform into a human like him. It was too unreasonable for him to be jealous of an ordinary fish.
Li Yu felt guilty and decided to feed the fish substitute well to make up for it.
However, no matter what he was thinking, the fish substitute only cared about being beautiful in the crystal bottle. It didn’t care about humans who were full of drama.
When they arrived at Duke Chengen’s residence, Ye Qinghuan and Princess Jinjue both came out to welcome them. Li Yu first carried the fish children out and introduced them one by one. Da Bao and the others were dressed up by Li Yu like little fairies who had walked out of a New Year’s painting. They all wore bright red gowns with two chirps on their heads. Princess Jinjue was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth. She still couldn’t believe it, “Oh my god, there are really four of them!”
In ancient times, twins were already very rare, and Li Yu actually had four sons at once. Princess Jinjue couldn’t even bear to think about having one child. She felt that Li Yu, who could have four children, was about to become a god.
“Please sit down.”
The princess ordered someone to take a seat and served Li Yu hot red date tea. She served King Jing Biluochun tea. Li Yu took a sip of the sweet tea and found that the princess was the same. There were a few plump red dates at the bottom of the teacup. Li Yu immediately understood that the princess also wanted him to maintain his health.
This was the princess’s good intentions. Li Yu thought that compared to the princess, his child was child’s play. In terms of hardships, the princess was the one who had truly suffered.
While they were talking, Ye Qinghuan personally went to carry his daughter, Princess Qinghe, out. Xiao Junzhu was already a hundred days old, her skin was fair and lustrous, her small arms and calves stretched out like lotus roots, her watery eyes took after the Princess, her small mouth was shaped like Ye Qinghuan, around her neck was the golden lock that Li Yu gave her.
When the baby fish saw their little sister, even Si Bao, who was always one step behind, widened his eyes. They had never seen such a small person. She was even smaller than them.
Da Bao screamed and reached out to his sister. Uncle Ye hugged his sister. He wanted to hug her too!
Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao imitated Da Bao and called out eagerly. They wanted to play with their younger sister.
“No!” Father Fish roared.
Upon hearing this, the children dropped their hands in disappointment and peeked at their younger sister.
The princess and Ye Qinghuan were almost amused by these children.
Li Yu took the opportunity to teach them, “Your younger sister is still young and can’t play with you. Remember to protect your younger sister in the future.”
The children nodded in unison, but they still wanted to see their younger sister. The princess ordered someone to bring out a cradle and put Xiao Junzhu in it. The children desperately clung to the cradle and watched quietly.
“They are really smart.” The princess exclaimed.
“Xiao Junzhu is also very beautiful.” Li Yu couldn’t help but praise.
Ye Qinghuan, whose eyes were glued to his daughter, seemed to have touched a nerve. He said rather sadly, “These past few days, I have been thinking that she will leave me in ten years and marry into another family. I really can’t bear to part with her.”
King Jing, Li Yu, and the princess were speechless.
Li Yu burst out laughing. It seemed that in terms of stupidity, the silly father, King Jing, was not as silly as the silly father, Ye Qinghuan.
“Hurry up and shut up!” The princess disliked Ye Qinghuan and wanted to throw the teacup in her hand at him to prevent him from talking nonsense.
But inadvertently, the corners of her eyes became wet. In Jinjue, even though the customs were open, people still preferred boys. When she found out from the midwife that she had given birth to a daughter, even though she was the princess of a country, she still felt somewhat uneasy. But unexpectedly, Ye Qinghuan and the entire Duke Chengen Mansion loved this girl very much. Her parents-in-law came to visit her every day and asked about her well-being. They also often fought with her to take care of the child, so she didn’t feel burdened at all. Originally, she wanted to raise another son and have both a daughter and a son. Her husband, who was always easy to talk to, unexpectedly became tough. He said that it was hard to give birth and that she should first recover and not be anxious.
Her husband’s family’s care made the princess feel that although the emperor had appointed her to marry, she had married into an excellent family.
The princess herself still wanted a son. It wasn’t that she didn’t like daughters, but that Li Yu’s four sons were lively and clever. They were too enviable. The princess couldn’t help but glance at Ye Qinghuan. Suddenly, she discovered that Li Yu was also looking at King Jing.
The two people, each with their own thoughts, instantly had a tacit understanding.
Li Yu scratched his cheek in embarrassment. Who told the young junzhu to be so cute? He also wanted her!
However, he couldn’t look at the young junzhu for long. Not long after, the wet nurse came out and took the young junzhu back.
Li Yu learned from the princess that the young junzhu had caught a cold these past few days and had just recovered. It wasn’t convenient for her to stay outside for too long. Because her daughter was sick, the princess had been worried and afraid for many days. Generally, such a small child couldn’t be given medicine directly. The wet nurse would first give the medicine to the child so that the medicine would enter the milk before feeding it to the child.
As for Li Yu himself, the four fish were very healthy regardless of whether they were young or infants. Therefore, they didn’t experience this kind of suffering. When the princess mentioned this, Li Yu only felt that something flashed through his mind, but he didn’t understand it in time.
The young junzhu returned to her room. The children were very disappointed that they couldn’t see their little sister.
Ye Qinghuan had taken care of these ancestors in the western border, so he knew their temperament. He smiled and whistled. The hero who saved the situation, Xiong Feng, rushed into the room. When he saw Li Yu, he excitedly wagged his tail at Li Yu.
“Xiong Feng, long time no see.”
Li Yu squatted down and patted Xiong Feng’s head. Xiong Feng tried to lick his hand.
Li Yu suddenly felt a chill on his back. When he turned around, he saw that King Jing had hurriedly moved his eyes away.
Li Yu was puzzled.
The children’s eyes lit up when they saw the dogs. They finally stopped clamoring to hug their little sister.
“Dogs are people’s good friends. Don’t bully them!”
Li Yu hurriedly warned them. However, the children were ultimately too young to play with dogs. Li Yu hugged them and lowered his head as much as possible so that they could see Xiong Feng clearly.
Xiong Feng had probably been taught by Heir Ye not to get too close to the children. However, Xiong Feng also liked children from the bottom of his heart. He hesitantly paced back and forth not far away from them.
Li Yu had just finished lecturing them when Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao came closer. They were a little afraid of the dogs’ sharp teeth. Si Bao fearlessly stretched out a hand and playfully poked the tip of Xiong Feng’s nose.
This time, not only were the people present stunned, but even Xiong Feng, who loved poking fish the most.
King Jing’s body moved slightly. He wanted to snatch Si Bao back. Li Yu hurriedly stopped him. When he saw that Xiong Feng was only trying to poke Si Bao’s finger with the tip of his nose and Si Bao giggled, King Jing finally calmed down.
“Don’t be afraid. Xiong Feng won’t bite Si Bao,” Ye Qinghuan comforted gently.
Li Yu knew that this was true. Xiong Feng had never even bitten a fish before. Even so, he still stared nervously at the interaction between Si Bao and Xiong Feng. He should trust Xiong Feng, but it was impossible for him to completely ignore this.
Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao were encouraged by Si Bao. They imitated Si Bao and poked Xiong Feng with their fingers.
King Jing and Li Yu: “…”
Xiong Feng was surrounded by the children. She wagged her tail so much that there were double shadows. After wagging it for a while, she happily rolled around.
“Oh yes, where’s the fish?”
Princess only remembered King Jing’s fish now.
Although she had been thinking about it for a long time, she only remembered it now when she saw the children interacting with the dog.
Li Yu smiled. In the past, everyone fought to see the fish. Sure enough, it was different now that they had children.
For the first time, Li Yu showed the crystal bottle without any hesitation.
The fish substitute led the little fish to swim happily. The dazzling colors and colorful tails made Li Yu think that it was himself.
Princess smiled and walked closer. After looking at it for a while, she frowned in confusion.
Was there a flaw?
Li Yu’s heart clenched. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong? ”
“No …” Princess said, “I just feel that this fish doesn’t have the charm it used to have.”
Li Yu: “…” She should be praising him, right?
Li Yu smiled and said something meaningful, “Princess, it’s probably because it became a father like me, so it became more mature.”
Princess smiled and thought deeply.
Ye Qinghuan skillfully teased the four babies while asking King Jing, “Why didn’t you go see the fish?”
Princess didn’t know, but Ye Qinghuan knew how much King Jing doted on the fish. He wouldn’t even look at it.
But this time, when he generously brought the fish to Duke Chengen’s Mansion, he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that King Jing was a little cold towards the fish.
Ye Qinghuan was more and more confused. On their wedding night, King Jing did something indescribable to the fish. He felt that it was unfair for Princess Consort. But now, King Jing’s thoughts were clearly on Princess Consort and the children. When he looked at Princess Consort, his cold eyes became gentle.
But if he was so affectionate, why did he do that to the fish back then?
Perhaps King Jing was possessed and fooled around for a few days. A prodigal son turning over a new leaf was worth more than gold.
Ye Qinghuan said, “It’s good that you can think clearly.”
King Jing: “?”
After the young commandery princess’s 100-day banquet, King Jing took Li Yu and the children to visit Duke Chengen’s Mansion.
Li Yu was well aware that this trip was not only to attend the 100-day banquet, but also to let Duke Chengen’s Mansion meet his great-grandson openly.
Ye Qian was looking forward to seeing the two of them. He had already prepared good wine and was waiting in the garden.
When he saw King Jing’s four children, Ye Qian’s eyes reddened for a long time.
Perhaps it was fate. The emperor liked Da Bao a little more, King Jing liked Si Bao a little more, and Er Bao and San Bao, this pair of little enemies, were more to Duke Chengen’s liking.
Duke Chengen’s Mansion said that in the past, his two children also liked to fight with each other.
Who were Duke Chengen’s two children?
Li Yu and King Jing looked at each other and felt deep veneration.
Li Yu also felt satisfied that all four of his children had people who loved them.
Duke Chengen’s Mansion, whose hair and beard had turned a little white, held Er Bao and San Bao on his left and right. He smiled and asked Li Yu to tell him interesting stories about the western border. The old man was very interested in the duck army. He also liked the whole Jude roast duck that Ye Qinghuan had just brought back. He could eat more than half of it in one sitting.
It was lively until late at night. King Jing carried the tipsy Li Yu back to the mansion. The children had already fallen asleep and were brought to their own rooms by Wang Xi.
King Jing placed the groggy Li Yu on the bed and wrapped him in a brocade quilt embroidered with aquamarine plants. Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked around blankly. “Tianchi, are we home?”
King Jing smiled and rubbed his head in response. Li Yu drank wine and his face was as red as a burning cloud. His brain was also dull and he couldn’t remember what he wanted to do.
Wang Xi knocked on the door lightly. The princess consort was drunk and might not feel well the next day. Eunuch Wang was ordered by King Jing to deliver sobering tea.
King Jing planned to go out to get the tea and feed Xiao Yu a cup. Li Yu mistakenly thought that he was going to leave and narrowed his eyes unhappily.
In a moment of desperation, Drunken Fish used a skill in an attempt to make King Jing stay.
King Jing only felt a cold wind blow by his side. A silver tail with a hint of gold swept over and wrapped around his waist.
King Jing: “…”
Li Yu: “Hmph, let’s see where you can run to!”
My tail will wrap around you until the end of time!
The domineering fishtail exerted force and pulled King Jing back.
King Jing was afraid that Li Yu would be strangled, so he followed the force of the fish tail and returned to the bed.
Li Yu saw that he had “changed his mind” and giggled and hugged his neck.
“Tianchi, the little princess is so cute …”
“Dabao and the others all like the little princess very much … I like her too.”
“Let’s have a daughter who looks like the little princess too, okay?”
“If it’s our daughter, I’ll like it even more.”
Li Yu said a lot of blushing words and wrapped his tail tighter around King Jing.
It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to leave if he didn’t do it.
King Jing paused and hugged him back.
He would never refuse Xiao Yu’s request, but this request was a little special. King Jing hesitated.
“Tianchi, what are you waiting for!” Li Yu leaned over mysteriously and kept whispering in his ear. “What should I do? My tail feels so uncomfortable …”
The fish’s tail rubbed against his waist coquettishly. King Jing took a deep breath and picked up the drunken fish that loved to stir up trouble.
After they returned, King Jing made the decision to make some slight changes to the bedroom. He directed the water from the pool outside into a small bathtub. It could be used as a scenic spot. If necessary, it could also be used by Xiaoyu after she transformed.
