Li Yu really felt like he should warn Jing-wang. Since in the original novel, the 6th Prince was a formidable enemy for Jing-wang. Now that the 2nd Prince has been discarded and the 3rd Prince lost favor, the 6th Prince shouldn’t be overlooked in this battle for the throne.
Li Yu once persuaded Jing-wang to “guard against” the 6th Prince. However, in actuality, Li Yu knew very well that an opponent like the 6th Prince can’t be defeated just by passively “guarding.” In the original novel, Jing-wang and ChengEn Place Estate suffered plenty as a result. It would be better to defeat the 6th Prince before he had a chance to expand his power and influence.
But how can Li Yu persuade Jing-wang to take action?
He– first, lived in the estate and didn’t really go out much; 2nd, was not a son of nobility. Even though currently, he was dating Jing-wang and Jing-wang pampered him a lot, he still didn’t believe that he had enough confidence to persuade Jing-wang in this matter.
To be honest, he wasn’t confident at all.
He wasn’t a good strategist. Analyzing the situation was also not his strong point. He could only vaguely understand that guarding was being defensive and won’t change the current state of affairs. Meanwhile, taking action meant going on the offense. This meant that Jing-wang needed to abandon his usual steady style of doing things. But as a result, it would attract the 6th Prince’s attention. Jing-wang probably still didn’t have any plans to fight for the throne. If he officially crossed swords with the 6th Prince, even if Jing-wang didn’t plan to fight for the throne, he’d have to fight anyways……
Alright. Actually, what’s even harder than making Jing-wang get rid of the 6th Prince was convincing Jing-wang to fight for the throne.
Before, Jing-wang could guard against the 6th Prince just on Li Yu’s words. However, he definitely wouldn’t fight for the throne without a proper reason.
Li Yu was also worried. If he started to shift the topic of their conversation to fighting for the throne, would Jing-wang think Li Yu was harboring ulterior motives and trying to use Jing-wang?
Li Yu, who was completely unaware that Jing-wang had already started to arrange things: QQ, how to convince Jing-wang?
No matter what happened, he still had to give it a try. The 3rd Prince had a setback and was unable to rise now, but the 6th Prince was still bouncing around cheerfully, even daring to present a beauty to the Emperor– This just happened to indicate that the 6th Prince was already trying to build support for himself inside the Emperor’s harem. Can’t let the 6th Prince prevail.
Setting aside free time, the human form Li Yu said to Jing-wang: “Your highness, the 6th Prince……”
Li Yu thought for a moment and wanted to use Jing-wang’s status and identity as reason and logic for taking action.
Hearing the 6th Prince’s name, Jing-wang narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Jing-wang didn’t like the 6th Prince, but Li Yu didn’t seem to notice at all and continued to mention him nonstop. Not giving Li Yu any time to respond, Jing-wang tackled Li Yu onto the bed and roughly blocked his lips.
Ever since the two people got together, in terms of intimacy, Jing-wang always followed along to Li Yu, doing whatever Li Yu wanted, giving Li Yu whatever he wanted. Even though he couldn’t do it until the very end, Jing-wang still waited very patiently and was never rough. On the contrary, he was even extremely concerned with Li Yu’s feelings, really never getting angry at Li Yu. Although Li Yu didn’t say anything outright, Li Yu also really liked being intimate with Jing-wang, almost forgetting that the person that he was dating had a tyrant character setting.
With this tackle, all of Jing-wang’s overbearing dominance and ruthlessness erupted outward.

Li Yu made muffled yells and hit the other on his chest. He liked mutual affections and sweet nothingness. He didn’t like this rough messing around, he– he needed to talk about proper business!

A thin layer of sweat covered the two people’s bodies. Jing-wang finally became more gentle. When Li Yu regained a bit of energy, he fondly touched Jing-wang on the temple and said in a hoarse voice: “Your highness, what… what’s the matter with you?”
To be honest, Jing-wang didn’t actually seem angry. It’s just he started kissing too viciously and too forcefully, which startled the easily scared fish. Li Yu’s mouth was even swollen.
After Jing-wang vented, the ruthless aura around him dissipated. He softly kissed Li Yu’s cheek and stuffed a sweaty piece of paper into Li Yu’s hand.
Li Yu opened it and read: “Not allowed to look at other men.”
Li Yu: “…….”
The fck. Where was this strange, yet sulky, overbearing CEO aura coming from!
Li Yu rubbed his forehead: “Your highness, are you misunderstanding something? I never looked at any other men, I only–”
Li Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He only vaguely mentioned the 6th Prince. Maybe because he also mentioned the 6th Prince a few times before, Jing-wang mistakened this as Li Yu having an interest towards the 6th Prince!
The piece of paper looked like it had been prepared a while ago. How long has this big scoundrel been drinking vinegar silently?
Li Yu smacked the bed in anger: “I want you to see him as a mortal enemy, not a love rival!”
Jing-wang: “…….”
“Ai, since I already blurted everything out.” Making use of every second and inch, Li Yu said: “Your highness, if the 6th Prince obtained the throne, it won’t be very good for you. Can you stop him?”
Jing-wang: “…….”
Jing-wang slowly gave Li Yu a look, expression very odd, as if he didn’t really understand what Li Yu meant, but it definitely wasn’t suspicion.
No worries. Li Yu basically didn’t count on being able to persuade Jing-wang with only a few words. The misunderstanding just now emboldened him. Li Yu felt like other than reason and logic, he could use another special skill– selling fish charms and tofu.
After Li Yu especially diligently and sincerely sold them several times repeatedly, and almost fainted from exhaustion, Jing-wang finally smiled and ‘reluctantly’ promised he wouldn’t let the 6th Prince become the emperor.
The other mature Princes were already useless. After getting rid of the 6th Prince, only Jing-wang would be left. This practically counted as agreeing to fight for the throne!
But this wasn’t considered stealing the throne, since his highness himself was the son of the first wife!
Fish, who sacrificed greatly for this: QQQ making the tyrant do what he should be doing is too hard! Why did the protagonist aura have to press down on fish’s body!
But if fish didn’t step forward, who would think for the tyrant’s future?
Li Yu finally resolved a big issue that’s been occupying his thoughts. Along the way, he also needed to resolve some small issues.
One of these things was because he and Jing-wang often played around too much. Li Yu’s accurate ability to count time was no longer as accurate. Although the System gave a countdown warning, it was too short, too hurried. Li Yu almost got exposed in front of Jing-wang several times, literally needing to roll off the bed to escape. Jing-wang’s state wasn’t much better because of this. Li Yu kind of wanted to have something like a watch so he can properly remind himself of the time.
In this era, there were no clocks. Most of the time, they used sundials and clepsydra. Basically not very accurate or convenient. Li Yu thought about an hourglass and specifically asked Wang Xi. Wang Xi listened to Li Yu’s description of it for quite a while and finally realized: “Li-gongzi, you want an hourglass? This old servant knows where to find one and can get it for you.”
…… so hourglasses did exist!
Li Yu thanked the heavens and stuffed Wang Xi a few boxes of peach blossom cookies. Turning around, he started to think about his second issue.
Last time, Li Yu went and bought gifts for Ye QingHuan and the JinJue Princess’s wedding. The gifts were all sent, but the memory of encountering counterfeits was still vividly on his mind.
Clearly his luck for face slapping the 6th Prince was explosive, yet in terms of buying stuff, he kept on buying fakes. Poor eyesight or terrible luck. What exactly was the real reason here?
Not wanting to admit to either of these things, Li Yu asked Wang Xi in a roundabout manner: “Wang-gonggong, I just want to know, are there a lot of stores selling fake antiques around the Jing Estate?”
Was there a lot? If this were the case, then it’s pretty normal for him to encounter one or two.
Wang Xi also went that day. The shopkeepers who were selling counterfeits were also arrested by him and the guards he brought. Thinking briefly, he understood Li Yu’s meaning and laughed uproariously: “Not that many, but gongzi, your luck…… cough cough, is really too good. You managed to bump into them all. The justice department couldn’t thank you enough.”
This was the truth. Li-gongzi shopping on the streets was much more effective than when the justice department sent their people out investigating.
“Since there are swindlers, buying fakes accidentally should be pretty normal.” Expression stiffening, Li Yu did his best to regain some sense of dignity: “From what I can see, those rocks inside the fish tank seem pretty real too.”
With a “pfft,” Wang Xi laughed nonstop: “Gongzi, please don’t tease this old servant. Any one of those ‘rocks’ inside his highness’s fish tank are all genuine goods, all picked out from the storage room and polished.”
“What?” Li Yu jumped in shock: “Everything inside the fish tank is all real?”
The red and blue stones that he loved to throw around when he was bored, the purple rock that he randomly flipped and knocked over… were all ? ? ?
“All real.” Wang Xi nodded cautiously: “And they are all high quality gemstones. To call them invaluable and priceless is no exaggeration.”
Li Yu, who played with invaluable and priceless gemstones without even realizing: “……”
Li Yu originally thought that for Jing-wang to get fish a silver stone bed and gold silk grass blanket, it was already extravagant enough. Who knew that he was swimming on a pile of real gems everyday. Because these gemstones weren’t very shiny, fish didn’t notice at all and thought they were some normal colored rocks.
Looks like buying fake goods had nothing to do with his luck. It’s his eyesight that was the real problem.
Li Yu feebly leaned against the wall: “Wang-gonggong, I want some quiet.”
According to Jing-wang’s orders, Wang-gonggong was supposed to give Li-gongzi whatever he wanted. However, if Li-gongzi mentioned other people……
Before, for a while, Li-gongzi always talked about a little fatty. Jing-wang wanted Wang Xi to investigate. Wang Xi just thought it sounded familiar. So far, he still didn’t find out who that fatty was, but now, there was also a…… Jing Jing?
An alarm bell started ringing loudly in Wang Xi’s heart. He hastily asked for his master, Jing-wang: “Gongzi, you have to speak more clearly. Who is Jing Jing? Why do you want him?”
Li Yu: “……”
It’s so hard to communicate with ancient people.
After letting Li Yu wait for two days, Wang Xi got Li Yu a silver hourglass.
Li Yu specifically tested the hourglass to his transformation time limit. After the sand ran out inside the hourglass, it was basically two hours, just perfect for use. From then on, Li Yu placed the hourglass into his interdimensional space. As soon as he changed into a human, he’d take it out. That way, he didn’t have to be jumpy and on the edge all the time.
What he didn’t know was that after he went to get some quiet time, Wang Xi told Jing-wang about Li Yu’s request for the hourglass verbatim. How could Jing-wang act perfunctory in obtaining something Xiao Yu wanted? Although hourglasses weren’t particularly expensive, in this dynasty, they were mostly for decorations and weren’t very accurate. The one that Li Yu received wasn’t the same. Jing-wang had specifically asked the craftsmen from the imperial palace to make it. The time was also specifically calibrated so it was much more accurate than normal hourglasses. At the bottom of the hourglass in an inconspicuous place, there was even a fish faintly carved there.
Jing-wang was used to scheming for Xiao Yu. Seeing the human shape Xiao Yu carrying the hourglass everywhere he went, Jing-wang was in a great mood.
He just liked to leave his mark thoroughly, inside and out, on everything that Xiao Yu ate and used.
A big vinegar XD
Well, JW is also jealous of himself (little fatty) pffft
So adorable in big jelly prince who dotes so carefully—and when he finds out he is the little fatty—pfft! Can’t wait!
