The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 114
Chap 114
After the hunting competition ended, Jing-wang and the 6th Prince returned at the same time.
No matter how good the 6th Prince was at pretense normally, after being surpassed by a mute, he
was practically unable to maintain his normal expression. Before when the 3rd Prince was
present, the 6th Prince was at best only the 3rd Prince’s helping hand. In actuality, he was pretty
good at hunting, yet didn’t dare to stand out too much to avoid the 3rd Prince’s suspicion. This
time, he could finally fight with his best and make a name for himself, but he never imagined
that Jing-wang would participate as well.
Other people didn’t know that the 6th Prince was adept at horseback archery. The 6th Prince also
didn’t know that Jing-wang was quite skilled as well. Jing-wang never participated in any of the
previous hunting activities after all. In order to guarantee a top ranking spot in the result, the 6th
Prince had arrived bright and early. When the drum signalled the start of the hunt, he was the
first to charge out on his horse, not like Jing-wang, who brought his entire family and arrived at
the hunting grounds slowly and leisurely. The other people had started a while ago already.
The hunting festival didn’t have any rules that required everyone to start at the same time. It only
counted the total sum. In other words, even if someone arrived late, as long as they had the
capabilities, they could still obtain a pretty good score. Of course, this was a very ideal logic that
has never occurred before, because usually when someone was late, they’d lose a decisive time
and also lose morale.
Yet Jing-wang only started in the latter half of the hunt, but he still followed behind closely in
scores. If the 6th Prince relaxed even slightly, Jing-wang would catch up with him.
The 6th Prince already felt somewhat tired. Jing-wang’s state was not much better than him.
Because plenty of the game were already hunted, Jing-wang needed to use more effort to find
new prey. His progress was clearly slowing down. The 6th Prince felt that he shouldn’t be able to
catch up anymore. However, who knew what method Jing-wang used: in a flash, he transformed
and became practically brimming with energy. Meanwhile, the 6th Prince was so tired that he
almost couldn’t raise his bow hand anymore.
Then, Jing-wang managed to hit targets consecutively.
The 6th Prince had no choice but to do his best. Nevertheless, at the last moment, Jing-wang who
seemed almost like he was aided by the gods, ended up having an even higher count than him.
Yet he had started hunting an hour earlier than Jing-wang!
For a moment, the 6th Prince felt bitter and deprecative. He thought he was good at horseback
archery, but it didn’t seem that impressive after all.
“5th elder brother, you really are a late arriving champion, here to steal the limelight.” Before
entering the tent, the 6th Prince said this in an ambiguously sour tone.
Jing-wang didn’t even spare him a glance and walked in front of the Emperor with large steps.
He respectfully gave his greeting and reported the completion of his task.
The Emperor was extremely satisfied with this result. Sure enough, Jing-wang didn’t disappoint
him. After being pushed into the spotlight, he actually managed to surpass the 6th Prince and
only lost to a battle experienced military general.
At the same time, the Emperor also realized that Jing-wang wasn’t actually bad at hunting. The
reason he didn’t participate in the previous hunting festivals was probably to purposely hide his
skills.
The Emperor was originally going to praise him some more, but now his mood was complicated.
He only said coolly: “Go take a seat.”
Jing-wang cupped his hand and returned to Li Yu’s side without any signs of arrogance or
irritability.
With a pair of red, glossy lips, Li Yu looked at him, charming eyes soft like silk. The two people
who just filled their energies still remembered the intense kiss just now. It was inconvenient to
speak in front of the Emperor. The two people exchanged gazes for the moment. With a smile,
Jing-wang found Li Yu’s hand under their sleeves and interlaced their fingers together.
Sitting on the dragon chair and looking down from above, the Emperor can see a little of the
exchange between Jing-wang and his wangfei, feeling it was rather amusing and sickeningly
sweet.
The Emperor turned to the other side and said to the 6th Prince: “TianXiao also did pretty good,
beyond my expectations.”
The Emperor didn’t lie here. The 6th Prince’s performance was remarkable, as if a completely
different person from before. It’s only unfortunate that he was unable to surpass Jing-wang.
Correcting the ambiguously sour tone from just now, the 6th Prince said humbly: “This son is
still very far from 5th elder brother. I will definitely try harder in the future.”
The Emperor nodded his head and also ordered the 6th Prince to sit. Next to the 6th Prince’s side
was his currently pregnant wife. Liang-shi’s abdomen was already somewhat apparent now.
Lately, she’s been suffering morning sickness and lacking in energy. After the 6th Prince arrived
at the hunting ground, he just hastily left without a backwards glance, leaving her to the care of
Concubine Zhang, who was here to accompany the Emperor. Feeling unwell and also worried
about her husband, Liang-shi didn’t look good. Concubine Zhang was not the considerate type
however. She “took care of” her daughter-in-law for a while, but Liang-shi still remained sickly.
Concubine Zhang just assumed that Liang-shi was using her pregnancy status to act fickle and
stopped bothering with her.
The 6th Prince was exhausted to death and suffered from a stomachful of smothered anger. After
returning, he then saw his wife’s suffering face. Although the 6th Prince didn’t go as far as to
take out his anger on Liang-shi, he also didn’t offer any words of comfort either. Liang-shi’s
expression became even dimmer. Although the two people were next to each other, they didn’t
look even the slightest intimate at all.
The Emperor saw the sickening sweet atmosphere between Jing-wang and his wangfei. Seeing
the 6th Prince and his wife, the Emperor only felt the alienation between them.
However, the Emperor didn’t actually want to get involved in his sons’ family businesses. He
ordered people to bring up the meat acquired from the hunt.
The Imperial Kitchen was in charge of roasting and cutting all of the animals that were hunted.
Placed in numerous silver platters, they were brought up for the Emperor to bestow them as
rewards.
There’s also a custom in this. Normally the people participating in the hunting festival would
always offer the first animal they hunted to the Emperor as tribute. If the tribute was good, it can
also help them gain the Emperor’s favor. In return, the Emperor would reward them with a
corresponding piece of roasted meat.
The previously mentioned General offered a deer. The 6th Prince offered an eagle. Although his
ranking wasn’t as well as Jing-wang’s, when the eagle was carried up, it gave the 6th Prince
quite the honor.
The Emperor rewarded the general with roasted deer meat. He also awarded the 6th Prince with
roasted eagle meat. However, he didn’t specifically give anything to Jing-wang.
After listening to all of the rewards, Li Yu didn’t hear his hubby’s name and started pondering
what exactly did Jing-wang offer as tribute.
Li Yu wanted to quietly ask Jing-wang when he suddenly remembered. The animal that Jing-
wang hunted seemed to have been a rabbit, the new pet of the Jing Estate.
This rabbit was originally given to the Emperor. Then the Emperor gave it to him to deal with.
Li Yu: “…….”
Other people had hunted deers and eagles, yet his hubby only offered a live rabbit as tribute!
The bunny was so cute. Li Yu didn’t think there was anything wrong with offering a rabbit.
However, the Emperor definitely didn’t think too much of it.
That’s why he openly gave the commemorative tribute to Li Yu and his kids to raise as a pet
bunny, isn’t that right?
Li Yu was internally bursting with joy. Head manager Luo brought over an entire roasted
chicken for them. Because of Jing-wang’s little thoughtful act, Li Yu picked up a huge piece of
meat with his chopsticks and placed it in Jing-wang’s bowl.
Bao#2, Bao#3, Bao#4 held up their chicken leg. Li Yu purposely didn’t help them, wanting to
see how they were going to eat it themselves.
The Baos only had one tiny rice sized, white tooth each. Gnawing back and forth on the chicken
leg for a while, they couldn’t even bite off a tiny bit of meat.
“Meat meat!” Having good food but unable to eat it, the Baos looked extremely panicked, almost
like they were about to randomly start wailing. Li Yu pulled out an already prepared little knife,
cut off the meat from the chicken leg for the kids, and placed them on a plate.
Li Yu only managed to cut half of one when Jing-wang pulled the knife out of his hand and
started cutting it himself. As expected of the tyrant protagonist who was even capable of flipping
the hunting scores. He cut the meat much faster than Li Yu. Not long after, there was a full plate.
The three Baos opened their mouth wide in unison, wanting daddy to feed them.
Jing-wang picked up a piece with his chopsticks. He was just about to feed one of them when Li
Yu said hastily: “Wait!”
Jing-wang paused slightly. With a reddened face, Li Yu also imitated the Baos and shamelessly
opened his mouth wide.
Jing-wang: “…….”
Jing-wang seemed to understand. Seeing this big one and three small ones all blinking their eyes
at him, like birds crying pitifully for food, Jing-wang couldn’t help but laugh. Without a second
thought, he fed Li Yu the piece of meat originally meant for the kids.
Li Yu ate it noisily from his chopsticks and gave the three Baos a smug glance: Did you guys
see? He likes me the most.
Bao#2, Bao#3, Bao#4: “……”
Fish dad stole away the delicious smelling meat. The Baos scrunched up their faces, wanting to
cry.
Scared, Li Yu hastily picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Bao#2’s mouth.
The tears were still spinning in Bao#2’s eyes. His chubby cheeks also quickly puffed up.
Bao#3 and Bao#4 saw that he had food to eat but they didn’t, and became even sadder.
Li Yu and Jing-wang originally planned to feed one of them each. Who would have known that
while Bao#2 ate the meat, he arrived at a ridiculous conclusion. He thought that this piece of
meat was the one that daddy Jing-wang had fed fish dad, which fish dad then fed to him. Then
wasn’t it his turn to feed Bao#3 next?
Bao#2 liked Bao#3. Therefore, he very seriously nodded his head and pulled out half of the
saliva covered meat from his mouth and stuffed it into Bao#3’s mouth.
Li Yu: “…….”
When Bao#3 also split the halved, saliva covered meat to feed Bao#4, Li Yu finally realized that
the kids might have misunderstood. He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
However, since the fish babies were willing to share, fish dad also felt very relieved.
The Baos’ loving exchange wasn’t actually complete.
As Bao#4 ate the meat, he remembered Bao#1 and started to call out ‘ah ah’ while swinging his
finger and pointing at Bao#1.
Bao#1 was still sitting on the Emperor’s knees. When Bao#4 called, the Emperor also saw him
and kindly waved his hand at Bao#4.
To the side, Wang Xi took a step forth and carried Bao#4 over.
Bao#4 and Bao#1 met up with each other on the Emperor’s knees. Bao#4 called out ‘ah ah’ and
then stuffed the already scarcely remaining meat all into Bao#1’s mouth.
Bao#1: ?
Bao#1 slowly understood as well. However, the other Baos already found a brother to feed. Who
can Bao#1 feed?
Bao#1’s eyes light up. The Emperor was originally watching this scene with suppressed laughter.
Unexpectedly, Bao#1 turned around and placed the last bit of meat into the Emperor’s hand.
“YeYe, eat!” Bao#1 generously patted the Emperor’s hand.
Ever since the Emperor became the sole ruler of the nation, he has bestowed plenty of meat to
other people. This was the first time someone had rewarded him with meat in return. Although
this meat was passed around, all covered in the kids’ saliva, and definitely inedible, the kind
intention held within it made the Emperor feel touched.
Jing-wang’s kids were all good kids. In a moment of happiness, the Emperor rewarded each of
the kids with huge platters of barbecue individually.
Plenty of people at the scene were smart and astute. The Emperor looked like he was favoring
Jing-wang’s sons right now. These people also followed along and praised the little clever boys.
They pretty much forgot that the 6th Prince was present as well. Meanwhile, the 6th Prince Mu
TianXiao only buried his head and ate his own food with a tranquil expression.
At night, Li Yu and Jing-wang entered a tent that the Emperor had appointed to Jing-wang.
Wang Xi brought the four Baos to sleep next door, separated from Jing-wang and Li Yu by a
flap.
Because they were outside, it wasn’t convenient to speak too much. Li Yu did his best to
converse about things that are not too classified with Jing-wang. He and Jing-wang understood
each other very well. Sometimes even without speaking, an eye gesture was enough to
understand the other’s meaning.
The two people finished washing up quickly and crossed gazes.
Not knowing who started first, they started kissing each other’s lips. Mouth and teeth engaged in
a battle for a while, Jing-wang picked Li Yu up and laid down with him, letting Li Yu rest on his
chest. Stroke by stroke, he lightly caressed Li Yu’s back.
Both of them felt like the 6th Prince was extremely likely to act within these few days at the
hunting festival. Jing-wang had already gotten prepared. However, because of this, the two
people couldn’t be too intimate together.
Li Yu laid on Jing-wang, drowsy with sleep. In actuality, he also did sleep for a while.
A light sound came from outside. Someone shouted loudly: “There’s an assassin.” Li Yu
immediately opened his eyes and sat up.
He and Jing-wang were both wearing regular clothes under the blankets. This was just what they
were waiting for.
