On a rest day after the wedding ceremony, the heir of ChengEn Gong brought his newly wedded wife to the Jing Estate.
Because Jing-wang was working at the Ministry of Works, the little married couple specifically picked a time when Jing-wang was present and also asked Wang Xi to pass a message ahead of time so they could see Li-gongzi at the same time. After Li Yu learned of this, he was very happy. Ye QingHuan and the Princess were one of the few friends that Li Yu made in this ancient era. He also liked to get together with them.
On the day that they agreed to meet, Li Yu specifically waited until Wang Xi came to report before transforming, then headed out in his human form to welcome the couple.
This was the first time the JinJue Princess came to visit the estate. Raising her head and seeing the carved confession on the walls, she gave a deep look at Ye QingHuan. Ye QingHuan’s old face turned red, thinking internally, he had already gotten married before Jing-wang, yet he still lost to the other.
The JinJue Princess then looked at the connected ponds all over, which formed a huge fish tank; she was so stunned she was speechless.
Under the Princess’ envious expression, Li Yu brought the Princess and Ye-shizi to tour around a bit.
Everyone says that getting married was having a second life. After not seeing these two people for a period of time, Li Yu felt like they both changed quite a bit.
There was still a bit of shyness on Ye-shizi’s faintly red cheeks. Smiling faintly, Ye-shizi gently looked at his wife. The JinJue Princess was still as sweet and beautiful as before, luminous and splendid. The few times that she crossed gazes with Ye QingHuan, the happiness in her eyes practically spilled out.
“Really not the same anymore.” Li Yu said in amusement.
Unprecedentedly, Ye QingHuan didn’t retort back. The JinJue Princess blinked and teased with a smile: “Li-gongzi is also not the same anymore.”
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu secretly glanced at Jing-wang, who was standing beside him, and thought internally: It’s not like I’m that apparent.
Ye QingHuan also brought Gale over and was holding on Gale’s leash together with the Princess. Gale hasn’t seen fish for a long time. When it came up, it immediately started to wag its tail wildly at Li Yu. Li Yu still remembered that Gale also loved to eat fish food. He pulled out the fish food box from his sleeve and fed Gale some.
As Li Yu fed Gale, he suddenly recalled the various opinions he had regarding the 2nd master before. Ye QingHuan married the JinJue Princess. Didn’t that make the JinJue Princess Gale’s 2nd master!?
Hehehe Gale, have you gotten used to it yet?
Li Yu scratched Gale’s chin and then went to touch Gale’s stomach. Gale was completely plump and well-fed with sleek and shiny fur.
Looks like Gale was the same as fish, and lived pretty well with its 2nd Master, living the simple life very comfortably.
The difference was that Gale’s 2nd master, the Princess, had a good personality and loved to raise pets. Meanwhile, fish became the 2nd master himself.
If all of the pets in the world shared a stone of happiness, then fish definitely monopolized 80% of it.
“Oh right, Li-gongzi. I also brought fish over today!”
After some pleasant greetings, the JinJue Princess clapped her hands with a smile and ordered the maids behind her to carefully carry over a rose quartz fish tank.
This fish tank was made of pink, elegant rose quartz. Inside the fish tank were many different colored Koi that fluttered their pretty tails and swam back and forth busily.
“Not bad.” Li Yu gave Ye QingHuan a brief smile.

Aren’t you just refusing to acknowledge that you also really liked fish? No need to be so embarrassed!
The tanks of fish that the JinJue Princess had raised were all very healthy. However, the princess herself felt somewhat disappointed.
Resting her chin on her hand, the Princess looked at the fishes inside the fish tank and said: “the fish raising servants all say that these were the smartest fishes. So why can’t they compare to his highness, Jing-wang’s fish……”
Since she started raising fish, the little Princess finally realized that fish was not the same as other fishes.
Jing-wang and Li Yu exchanged looks and said internally: That’s expected.
Since the topic moved to raising fish, the princess mentioned wanting to see Jing-wang’s fish again.
Li Yu felt somewhat awkward. Li-gongzi and fish couldn’t exist at the same time. Afraid that the princess might want to look at a close distance, Li Yu didn’t dare to try to deceive her with the fish pillow. Luckily, after the Princess made her suggestion, Jing-wang’s expression fell. Since the fish’s master didn’t agree, the Princess couldn’t do anything about it.
Ye QingHuan made peace. Li Yu did his best and discussed food delicacies with the Princess. Gradually, the duration for the transformation passed.
As usual, Li Yu stated that he had important business to take care of and had to leave early. After Li Yu left, Jing-wang waited an entire tea cup of time before finally ordering Wang Xi to bring over the fish inside the crystal fish tank.
Li Yu, who was rushing about between human and fish form, was very quickly ladled out of the crystal fish tank by Wang-gonggong using a big jade spoon– because for some unknown petty reason, Jing-wang has been refusing to let others touch fish lately, Wang-gonggong can only use the spoon instead of his hands– Then, Wang Xi placed Li Yu into a completely new indigo quartz fish tank. The appearance of this fish tank wasn’t that of a four sided figure. Instead, it was made into the shape of a small house. There were even jade bells hanging on the roof of the house, which made soft noises with the passing wind. In order to make viewing more convenient, the door and windows of the house were covered with a layer of clear crystal.
Li Yu has never seen this fish tank before. Most likely, this was a newly made product designed by the obsessed fish lover Jing-wang. Since the huge piece of quartz must be very expensive, after Li Yu entered, he didn’t even dare to swim around.
Wang Xi picked up the indigo quartz fish tank with both hands and came out. When Ye QingHuan saw this new fish tank, the corner of his mouth twitched. The sky colored indigo quartz was uncommon and not easy to obtain. Only the royal family were wealthy enough to use it. This time, he and the princess lost completely and utterly.
The JinJue Princes haven’t seen fish for a long time. Last time at the marketplace, she only managed to see the fish pillow from afar. Now that she was looking at the real fish, the princess said in surprise: “How… did he change into this?”
Even though Ye QingHuan warned her ahead of time, she still remembered the little black fish that swam next to Jing-wang’s hand and ate fish food at the national banquet.
Jing-wang gave Wang Xi a glance. Wang Xi already memorized this speech inside and out and specifically explained it to the Princess. The princess’s almond eyes opened wide as she made noises of shock: “Oh, oh!”
The servants placed the two fish tanks together. Jing-wang’s fish tank was clearly larger in size than the Princess’s fish tank.
Through the wall of the crystal fish tank, Li Yu saw the fish across from him.
The Emperor also gifted Jing-wang fish before, however, back then Li Yu didn’t have a chance to be so close to other fishes like he was right now.
Slowly, he gained a thrilling thought.
Humans couldn’t understand fish speech. No matter how many bubbles he blew, it was no use. What about other fish?
How… should one greet a fish?
Li Yu did his best to swim closer and shouted loudly towards the other fish tank: “Hey, can you hear me?”
Nothing happened over there.
Li Yu felt like he must have been overly imaginative. He wasn’t a normal fish after all; he was a transmigrated fish. In a pile of fishes, the language must still not be the same?
Suddenly, he saw the scales flash before him. The fishes inside the other fish tank all swam towards him one after the other.
The fishes all raised their heads and blew bubbles at Li Yu. Although they didn’t make the same noises as Li Yu, Li Yu strangely managed to understand their meaning.
This school of fish was saying: Oh hello. What do you want?
Li Yu: “…….”
What an unexpected surprise!!
Li Yu waved his tail as a test. The fishes arranged themselves into the word “one.”
Li Yu waved again. The fishes then arranged themselves into the word “ten.”
Hehe. Li Yu giggled foolishly. What to do? He had an even more thrilling thought.
“TianChi, these fish…what’s going on with them?” Ye QingHuan cried out in alarm. He saw the fishes that he and the Princess raised all swimming towards Jing-wang’s fish and blowing bubbles in unison. What a spectacular sight.
If only one or two did this, then you can still say it was only a coincidence. If the entire group did this, then it was just too strange.
Watching from the side, of course Jing-wang knew what was going on. Xiao Yu’s real identity was a carp demon. He should be communicating with the other fishes right now.
However, Jing-wang couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Jing-wang looked at the school of fish, irritation and discontent pouring out of his heart continuously.
He walked over personally and picked up his fish tank with both hands. The school of fish who suddenly lost their focus: ???
Jing-wang threw Ye QingHuan a warning look. You didn’t see anything.
Ye QingHuan: “……”
Ye QingHuan still found an explanation for himself, saying loudly in realization: “TianChi, so your fish is actually female?”
Only female fish can attract male fish. Ye-shizi couldn’t think of any other possibility.
Li Yu, Jing-wang: “…….”
Li Yu’s new idea was related to the school of fish. He remembered it was almost the Emperor’s birthday. In the original novel, the 6th Prince demonstrated extraordinary talent and skill in this birthday celebration. If Jing-wang wanted to fight for the throne, he also could use the birthday celebration this time and take the 6th Prince’s opportunities, making the 6th Prince unable to go anywhere!
In the original novel, the 6th Prince couldn’t afford any expensive birthday gifts. Therefore, he used light and shadows and reflected birthday wishes onto the golden bricks inside GanQing Palace’s main hall. This ingenious idea made the Emperor feel extremely delighted.
Of course, having no money was only a deliberate excuse. The 6th Prince had already decided to use this method as a present ahead of time because it can help him obtain the Emperor’s sympathy while making the Emperor happy.
Li Yu wouldn’t incite Jing-wang to destroy the 6th Prince’s present. He can only think of one that’s even better and beat the 6th Prince at his own game. The birthday celebration was a place to show off one’s talents anyways!
Li Yu first asked Wang Xi to help him obtain a tankful of fish. Then he lectured the fishes for a while. After making certain that he had full control of this matter, Li Yu found an opportunity to ask Jing-wang about the details of the birthday celebration for the Emperor.
In the former years, Jing-wang always wrote something himself and gifted it to the Emperor, according to customs.
But now that he decided to fight for the throne, he can no longer be too casual. The Emperor assigned Jing-wang work, Jing-wang also needed to thank him. Therefore, other than writing a blessing, he also found an artist that the Emperor really loved and asked the artist to paint a longevity picture of red-crowned cranes with the peaches of immortality. This artist had an eccentric personality and never drew for other people. For them to agree to Jing-wang’s request was not easy.
When Li Yu came over to inquire, Jing-wang actually had finished making all of the arrangements already. However, he still wanted to listen to Xiao Yu’s ideas.
He knew Xiao Yu was doing this for his sake. He really liked seeing Xiao Yu running around for his sake.
Li Yu carefully asked: “Your highness, do you have any ideas for the birthday celebration?”
Jing-wang shook his head accordingly and saw Xiao Yu’s black eyes instantly shining brightly.
What are you planning now? Jing-wang looked towards him with a grin.
Li Yu rubbed his hands and said: “Your highness, let’s try using fishes to display the word ‘longevity’ and gift it to the Emperor!”
The 6th Prince’s light show was inanimate. How can it compare to a display made by lively fishes? Also, Koi represented blessings and congratulations anyways. Li Yu refused to believe that the view of fishes in the formation of the word ‘longevity’ would lose in appearance to the 6th Prince’s light show!
Plus, he did some small testing the last few days. His fish form can communicate simply with other fishes. Making them display the word ‘longevity’ was no pressure at all! When the time comes, he can even sneak into the school of fishes and provide assistance in the case of accidents.
No matter how he thought about it, Li Yu felt like his idea was not bad and said cheerfully: “I often feed fishes and know a way to make fishes form words. Can you let me give it a try, your highness?”
Jing-wang raised his eyebrow. He had seen Xiao Yu interacting with the school of fish before personally, so he unconsciously started pondering the possibility. Afraid that Jing-wang wouldn’t agree, Li Yu hastily wrapped his hands around Jing-wang’s arm and swung it coquettishly.
Jing-wang: “……”
This was the first time Jing-wang was swung like this by Xiao Yu. Internally, he faintly smiled. Facing the fish’s coquettish behavior, Jing-wang still looked like he was thinking outwardly, but his gaze floated towards the direction of his legs.
Li Yu’s face instantly flushed. Big scoundrel, why are you like this! Really never forgetting to eat tofu at any given moment!
Forget it. He was a flexible fish who knew how to give and take. He won’t be stumped here; he had to share delights and sorrows, for better or for worse……
In order to obtain this important assignment, Li Yu suppressed his embarrassment and obediently sat down.
15 minutes later, with trembling legs, fish seized total victory and used countless tofu to defeat the tyrant. The tyrant finally agreed to let him try, giving the task to him completely.
LY, you are my little hero
Thank you for new chapter
Just for enlightening my brethens here… fish & prince were stroking each other pp. And if you know the position usually where the shou will sit on top of the gong lap facing each other.
As for fish’s trembling legs can be due to cramps (uncomfortable sitting position due to the “pose😏”) or limpness after cummingbird 🙂
