Chapter 64
“I’ve thought about it. I also like Your Highness… I want to be with Your Highness. Can Your Highness agree to a few of my requests? If Your Highness agrees, let’s … try to be together. “Li Yu blushed as he spoke in a low voice.
Although there were times when he was confused and embarrassed in front of the person he liked, being straightforward was one of his strengths.
In fact, it was his unlucky transformation that triggered him. There were only two hours a day, so he couldn’t be hesitant. Therefore, he had to be straightforward with whatever he wanted. Once they reached an agreement, they could start dating smoothly!
Li Yu thought about how King Jing had taken care of him and felt inexplicably confident in himself.
He raised the paper high so that King Jing wouldn’t miss it.
He had changed this “three-point agreement” several times. King Jing had taught him how to write, so this time, Li Yu tried his best not to make any mistakes. He also tried his best to keep the paper clean and tidy. Although it was a treaty for “negotiation,” he wrote it with sincerity.
On the other hand, King Jing was elated when he heard Li Yu say that she liked it. Although what Xiao Yu wanted to do was not what he wanted, it did not matter. Even if it was just a three-point agreement, he would agree to it even if it was thirty or even three hundred points.
King Jing reached out his hand and wrapped Li Yu’s finger that was accidentally stained with ink.
He rubbed it carefully and wiped away the ink stain.
This small gesture warmed Li Yu’s heart. He tried to scratch King Jing’s palm with his finger that was carefully taken care of. Li Yu mustered up his courage and held King Jing’s hand. He looked at him with a smile.
King Jing also confirmed over and over again that Xiao Yu would not throw a tantrum and run away. Although he could sense it when they were in the carriage, he still felt that it was unreal.
Could it be that even he was “worried about personal gains and losses”?
King Jing laughed and patted Li Yu’s hand before he took the paper.
The first line that came into view read: “Li Yu will not be allowed to spend the night.”
King Jing was speechless.
King Jing rubbed his forehead. Did Xiaoyu accept him but still refuse to take his money?
There was nothing wrong with him, but would it affect Xiaoyu? The ancient books on cultivation had mentioned diligence. Xiao Yu … Forgive him for being blunt, but she was really slacking off.
Li Yu was afraid that he would think that he was putting on airs, so he hurriedly explained, “It’s not that you can’t do it. When the time is right…”
He suddenly realized that he had said something inappropriate and immediately shut his mouth.
His cheeks were red as he blinked his eyes and pretended to be stupid.
Even so, King Jing immediately understood. So it’s not impossible …
“In any case, if I say no, it means no!” Li Yu shamelessly snatched the paper away. “If Your Highness doesn’t agree, then let’s not be together.”
King Jing: “…”
When King Jing heard him say “let’s”, his heart skipped a beat. He reacted quickly and snatched the paper back. Although it was a pity that he couldn’t take his money, without Xiaoyu, how could he take his money?
Li Yu secretly made a victory sign when he was not looking. It was said that acting coquettishly was very effective on boyfriends. It seemed that it was quite effective.
King Jing agreed to the first condition and continued to read. The second condition read: “Don’t ask Li Yu where she went.’
King Jing understood this condition after thinking for a while. Xiaoyu seemed to be able to maintain her human form for two hours. Every time, she would have to explain the reason for her
“disappearance”. Every time, Xiaoyu would find all kinds of strange excuses that couldn’t be any more fake. King Jing couldn’t bear to expose her.
Even if he didn’t ask, Xiaoyu probably didn’t want to find excuses. It was too tiring and difficult to cover up a lie.
King Jing nodded and agreed to this condition. Then he looked at the last condition. “Don’t be angry with Li Yu.”
King Jing smiled. Xiaoyu was worrying too much. When had he ever been angry with Xiaoyu?
King Jing agreed to all the conditions.
Li Yu said slyly, “There’s one more thing. Your Highness, you said before that you don’t have any concubines. Then please continue to maintain that, okay?*
In the original novel, King Jing wasn’t a fickle person. However, the plot of the original novel had been completely messed up. Chu Yanyu was white and black. What if King Jing became a womanizer?
Although it was unlikely, Li Yu didn’t want any accidents to happen in this kind of situation.
Moreover, he made up his mind. If King Jing dared to become a pig trotter, he would dare to break up with him!
However, he didn’t write down this condition because it was King Jing’s own idea. Moreover, it was engraved on the wall of King Jing’s residence. Li Yu felt that there was no need to write it again and take up the number of points he had agreed to.
Therefore, in reality, he was taking advantage of King Jing.
King Jing nodded without a trace of hesitation.
“Then, Your Highness, you must remember these conditions.” Li Yu smiled and said, “Can Your Highness memorize them?”
King Jing nodded again and handed the paper back to Li Yu. He went to the side of the table and took out a pen and paper.
Li Yu followed him. He rolled up his sleeves and consciously ground the ink for him.
King Jing looked up at Li Yu. Considering Xiaoyu’s ability to understand, he smiled and came up with a doggerel:
You can spend the night,
You can stay or leave as you please,
Not be angry with you,
Only love you in this life.
Li Yu was stunned and instantly threw the ink ingot aside. His Highness was really good at it, especially the last condition!
He remembered it all. Next, it should be kissing, hugging, and lifting up high, right?
Li Yu shouted and pounced on him.
King Jing was shocked, but he caught him in his arms. Both of them looked at each other lovingly, and their lips slowly pressed together.
He wanted to use all the gentleness and passion he had in his life into kissing and rubbing the other person into his body, bones, and blood.
King Jing felt something passing through his lips quickly. He opened his eyes and saw Xiaoyu smiling mischievously and looking at him.
“… Does it still hurt?” Li Yu touched his lips.
In the past, Li Yu had bitten King Jing’s lips because of a misunderstanding. Now, he wanted to make it up to him.
Actually, that was very tasty. The little fish was curious and wanted to try it. Anyway, it was his boyfriend. It was normal for him to have a French kiss.
King Jing understood what he meant and excitedly hugged Li Yu.
Li Yu, “!!!”
F*ck, I just want a French kiss. What are you doing?
Li Yu was scared out of his wits. He was afraid that King Jing would go against the terms they had just agreed on. However, King Jing only hugged him tightly for a while before carefully placing him on the desk. Then, he moved his face closer and kissed him again and again.
Li Yu, “…”
Li Yu kissed him back enthusiastically. As they kissed, he suddenly realized that King Jing was much taller than him. Originally, he had to look up when they kissed, and it was not very comfortable. Now that he was placed on the table, he could look up and it was much easier.
King Jing wanted him to relax a little …
Li Yu was suddenly enlightened. Although this person could not speak, sometimes he could understand what the other person meant. He could only keep guessing and often guessed wrongly. However, King Jing’s love for him had never changed.
Li Yu was touched and felt warm. He hugged the other person’s neck tightly and kissed him happily. Soon, he was overwhelmed by tenderness.
Li Yu was like a koala bear lying on King Jing lazily. King Jing handed him a bright yellow cloth.
Li Yu opened it and glanced at it. It was the imperial edict that the Emperor wanted King Jing to work in the Ministry of Works.
Li Yu was a little surprised. He remembered that there was such a passage in the original book, but it was later. King Jing and the Sixth Prince were fighting. The official entry into the court started from the Ministry of Works, but the Sixth Prince was still recuperating.
According to his observation, King Jing did not seem to have any intention of seizing the throne. Li Yu realized that this was probably the Emperor’s way of thinking about King Jing.
The King Jing of this world would not have too many disasters. He would also try to help King Jing.
“This is a good thing. Congratulations, Your Highness.”
Li Yu smiled. At the same time, he did not understand why King Jing wanted to show him the imperial edict.
King Jing, who was unhappy that he was going to be forced to work for Xiao Yu,”…”
It’s just that I can’t be with you anymore. King Jing did not know what to say.
Li Yu thought about it and roughly understood what he meant. He smiled and said, “Since Your Highness has a task, do it well. I won’t go anywhere. I will wait for you to come back. When you get your work … monthly salary, Your Highness can buy me a gift.”
Li Yu was full of encouraging words. He imagined that he was the little boy who stayed at home and sent his boyfriend to work every day to cheer him on.
After all, besides dating, people also had a lot of serious things to do. King Jing was going to work in the Ministry of Works. He wanted to seize the throne in the future. When he became the Emperor, he would be busy with national affairs.
Unlike him, other than doing tasks and playing with his pet fish, he was very leisurely. It was as if he had entered a retirement life in advance.
But he was only 18 years old.
Li Yu touched his nose. Should he reluctantly use some of his remaining energy to make a love bento for his boyfriend?
With Xiao Yu’s encouragement, King Jing perked up and began to report to the Ministry of Works on time every day.
As the last of the six ministries, the Ministry of Works was mainly in charge of water conservancy and civil engineering.
Considering the inconvenience of King Jing’s communication, the Emperor assigned King Jing the task of repairing the Zhongcui Palace that had been destroyed by the fire.
Zhongcui Palace originally had a stock of blueprints. He just had to follow the instructions and not make any mistakes. King Jing was the Emperor and had a strong personality. However, the Emperor was still worried that King Jing would not be able to handle it on his first task. Thus, he found a helper for King Jing. The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Zheng Jing, was a capable person. He had already received the Emperor’s instructions in advance and could assist King Jing at any time.
The Emperor’s arrangement could be considered as giving King Jing some leeway.
After King Jing arrived at the Ministry of Works, he first put down a large bag that he carried with him.
Assistant Minister Zheng Jing smiled and came over to greet him. Zheng Jing had long heard of King Jing’s reputation and wanted to build a good relationship with King Jing. He asked curiously,
“What is this that Your Highness King Jing brought?”
Although Wang Xi always followed King Jing, according to the rules, he was not allowed to enter the main hall. King Jing picked up the pen on the table and calmly wrote, “Lunch.”
Zheng Jing was speechless.
Zheng Jing smiled awkwardly. So it was His Highness’ lunch. This bag was bigger than a washbasin. What kind of lunch did it contain?
However, looking at King Jing’s indifferent expression, Zheng Jing knew that King Jing had a cold personality and would not like him to continue asking. Thus, although Lord Zheng was full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions.
King Jing paused after writing the two words “lunch”, but Zheng Jing did not continue asking. King Jing was a little dissatisfied. He deliberately wrote another line under the word “lunch” and used a slightly larger font to write seriously, “My boyfriend made it.”
Zheng Jing was speechless.
Zheng Jing said with difficulty, “Boyfriend?”
King Jing nodded.
This was the dialect of his hometown that Xiaoyu told him personally.
Xiaoyu said that when they were together, it was called “dating”. Xiaoyu was his “boyfriend” and he was Xiaoyu’s “boyfriend”.
King Jing liked this nickname. He guessed that the carp spirit’s hometown should be some celestial mountain. Xiaoyu treated him as one of her family. King Jing was very happy.
Zheng Jing thought for a long time but did not know what a boyfriend meant. He could only ask King Jing, “Your Highness, what does a boyfriend mean?”
King Jing glanced at him. It was impossible for Zheng Jing to know about the celestial mountain where the carp spirit lived. However, King Jing understood it differently.
Anyway, they were both Xiaoyu. King Jing wrote, “She’s the future princess.”
Zheng Jing’s expression changed again. King Jing had a princess? Why had he not heard of it before?
Oh, it was the future princess … No matter what, it was easier to understand than a boyfriend.
What should he say?
Zheng Jing stammered, “Then … Congratulations, Your Highness.”
King Jing nodded with satisfaction.
Zheng Jing secretly wiped away his sweat. King Jing took out something from his wide sleeve and placed it on the table.
This was a sparkling and translucent bottle. Inside it was a silver fish with a hint of gold. It was swimming around joyfully in the bottle.
Zheng Jing was speechless.
Zheng Jing thought that he had seen wrongly. He swallowed his saliva and asked uncertainly,
“Your Highness, is this a koi fish?”
King Jing proudly wrote, “I’m the king’s fish pet.”
Zheng Jing was speechless.
Zheng Jing could not figure out why someone would bring a fish to work.
When he saw King Jing personally holding the jade box and feeding the fish the peach blossom pancake, Zheng Jing completely shut up.
Li Yu, who was eating the peach blossom pancake, was roaring in her heart. I’ve been tricked by this bastard. What did he mean by sending her boyfriend to work? Why did he bring a fish to work?!
What happened to being a housekeeper?
