The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 147

Chap 147
The Taizi-fei gave birth to a daughter.

After the officials heard this, many thought it was rather unfortunate. If it were a boy, this would
be the first royal grandson after the Crown Prince received the title as the next ruler. His
existence would have held special significance and he would have definitely received the
Emperor and Crown Prince’s favor. However, a girl was probably not the same.

Li Yu also heard such rumors and was completely unconcerned.

The ancient people still valued boys over girls. However, as long as he himself didn’t think like
this, it was fine. Giving birth to boys and girls were both very good. The little sweetie pie also
had a very special significance. She was his and the Crown Prince’s only daughter.

As for the Crown Prince himself, Li Yu would often see him holding the little sweetie pie,
looking at her for long periods of time, reluctant to let go. Because Li Yu needed to rest, the
Crown Prince took care of pretty much everything for the little sweetie pie. How was this not
pampering? This was clearly extremely careful and meticulous care.

The Crown Prince’s pampering for his daughter wasn’t merely this. Back when he first learned
that Li Yu was pregnant with the little sweetie pie, the Crown Prince gathered many names for
their daughter. After their daughter was born, the Crown Prince then started feeling none of them
were good enough. After going crazy for two days, he still couldn’t settle on a name.

Li Yu felt like the usually decisive and resolute Crown Prince was almost developing an illness
over his indecisiveness. In the end, Li Yu had to pick up the slack himself and choose the name
“Qiong Xue” from a thick stack of names. He chose this because two days after the little sweetie
pie was born, her faintly pink skin turned fair white, like a luscious piece of fine jade. This
celestial whimsical name couldn’t be more fitting.

After picking her official name, it was time to pick her nickname.

Li Yu had already decided while he was incubating the baby fishes that he wanted to continue
the series of names like Bao#1, Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4. The little sweetie pie was number 5.
According to this logic, she should be Bao#5. However, Li Yu privately wanted to show off his
pretty and adorable daughter. Building from her official name, he simply decided to call his
daughter “Snow Bao”.
The Crown Prince said it a few times and liked it very much. The Baos also quickly clapped their
hands and caught on with the name.

“In the future, you guys are big brothers. You all need to take good care of Snow Bao,
understand?” Fish dad educated his sons.

The Baos all nodded their heads and brought over each of their favorite toys, wanting to gift
them to Snow Bao. Li Yu laughed. There’s still a long time before the little sister will be able to
play with these toys.

After the Emperor learned that Taizi-fei gave birth to a girl, he bestowed heavy gifts as well.
Because Snow Bao was just born, she couldn’t go out. The Emperor specifically came to the
Crown Prince’s estate in disguise to see his little granddaughter. In Li Yu’s memories, this
seemed to be a first.

Caught by surprise, the Emperor saw the words of confession carved on the estate walls and gave
the Crown Prince a teasing glance. Towards the fact that the entire estate had been modified into
a fish tank, his surprise was lesser in comparison.

The Crown Prince picked up Snow Bao and gave her to the Emperor for him to look. After the
Emperor held her, he refused to let go. Snow Bao wasn’t afraid of the stranger either and looked
curiously at the Emperor with her pitch black eyes.

The Emperor was so delighted that he bestowed a warm jade that was once worn by Empress
Xiao Hui to Snow Bao.

Snow Bao was only an infant in the end. Soon afterwards, she needed to drink milk and change
her diaper. The Emperor personally placed Snow Bao in Qin-shi’s hands, instructing Qin-shi to
be careful and meticulous and scaring Qin-shi quite a bit.

Li Yu looked at his daughter, who was like the moon which all stars revolved around, and then
recalled those rumours again. He thought to himself, other people probably never imagine it
quite like this.

The Emperor has never been stingy to his grandkids. He gave Li Yu and the Crown Prince’s sons
titles of nobility. He also granted the title of Jun Zhu to Ye QingHuan and the JinJue Princess’s
daughter. Now it was his little granddaughter’s turn. Originally, the daughter of a Crown Prince
should receive the title of Jun Zhu. The Emperor, however, felt like this would be the same as the
little Princess QingHe. In reality, one was a ruler, one was a subject. How can their status be the
same. The Emperor very unreasonably gave Snow Bao the title of Gong Zhu and settled on the
name of the title.

Since the Crown Prince husbands came up with the official name and nickname, not to be
outdone, the Emperor took over naming the title. Originally, in this dynasty, a Princess usually
only received a title when she was getting married. The Emperor proclaimed that he had already
picked one out for the little Princess ahead of time.

The Emperor himself had considered this title for a long time.

The Crown Prince’s daughter, Qiong Xue, received the title of Wen Hui Princess.

Staring at their daughter inside her swaddling clothes, Li Yu and the Crown Prince both
experienced the sour feeling that Ye QingHuan mentioned before regarding daughters getting
married away.

The Crown Prince: “……..”

This title had a Hui word. It represented the Emperor’s hope to his little granddaughter. At the
same time, it was a commemoration to the memories of Empress Xiao Hui.

Li Yu was already planning to pamper his daughter like a little princess. After learning that his
daughter became a real Princess, he was speechless for a moment.

However, even if the Emperor didn’t give her this title, her dad was going to be the Emperor in
the future anyways. Sooner or later, the title of Princess would be hers.

Before Li Yu had felt that Bao#1 was the real Koi in the family. Now it looked like the little
Princess’s luck was not any inferior.

Because of the Emperor’s stubbornness, the rigorous rules-abiding government officials
inevitably ended up disputing with him about this during morning court. However, since Snow
Bao was a girl, and also the Crown Prince’s daughter, with the Emperor’s insistence, it can only
be like this.
Some people tried to persuade the Crown Prince to decline for his daughter. However the Crown
Prince completely ignored them.

One reason was because this was a display of the Emperor’s love. The other reason was because
Xiao Yu’s daughter of course deserved to be a Princess.

Those who had originally harbored ill intent and wanted to watch trouble befall on the Taizi-fei,
surprisingly found that even though the Taizi-fei gave birth to a daughter, he was still treated
with endless honor and favor.

When it was Snow Bao’s one month banquet, the Crown Prince invited practically everyone in
the Imperial City. The Emperor attended in person. After the one month banquet, no one dared to
say that this little Princess wasn’t favored.

With the System practically cheating for him, despite being in extreme pain while giving birth,
after giving birth, Li Yu’s body recovered very quickly. Originally, the midwives had said that
he needed one month to recuperate completely. Li Yu was pretty much healthy after half a
month.

However, he was still forced to watch himself for the entire month, suffering terribly.

Ancient people all believed unanimously that within this one month, one was not allowed to feel
a breeze, get a chill, nor bathe in water. The month after giving birth to Snow Bao, Li Yu saw
swimming and bathing, which he had never cared or noticed previously, become an
extravagance. He actually recovered a while ago, but the Crown Prince, this cautious, meticulous
demon, actually wanted him to recuperate for an entire month. How was he supposed to endure
not touching water for an entire month!

Li Yu still turned back to a fish every day. However, the Crown Prince calculated the time even
more accurately than he did. Li Yu originally wanted to take advantage of the transformation to
secretly slip into the water. The Crown Prince had even mercilessly deprived him of this right,
taking away all of the fish tanks and crystal bottles. He only gave Li Yu a wet towel. Li Yu
flailed a bit on the towel and then immediately turned back to being a human……

After a long time like this, Li Yu felt like he was practically turning into a dirty loach.

On more than one occasion, Li Yu protested about his filth. The Crown Prince asked the
midwives and Imperial Physicians several times and started to help him wipe down with a warm
towel. However, this was pretty much useless. It only treated the symptoms but not the cause.
In order to comfort Li Yu, the Crown Prince helped him wipe down personally. Li Yu acted
awkward a few times and then completely threw everything to the wind.

The Crown Prince had seen him in his worst moments already anyways. The back of his hand
still had the teeth marks that Li Yu had left when he was in extreme pain. Helping him wipe
down was insignificant in comparison.

Finally, it reached the day when the restrictions were lifted. Li Yu impatiently dragged the
Crown Prince off and washed for a total of four hours……

After cleaning up, the loach turned back into an energetic, refreshed young man.

During Snow Bao’s one month banquet, Li Yu wore a matching purple-red robe with the Crown
Prince. Bao#1, Bao#2, Bao#3, and Bao#4 all had little gold garments that had the word “fortune”
and fish patterns embroidered on to them. Snow Bao had a satin little dress that had red spots on
it. With two little pigtails on her head that were bound by headbands that matched her dress, she
practically looked like a little celestial fairy that descended from the heavens.

The Crown Prince gained a daughter. The entire ChengEn Gong family arrived to congratulate
him. When the Old ChengEn Gong, Ye Qian, saw his granddaughter, even his footsteps became
lighter. After he held Snow Bao, Old ChengEn Gong had a smile stuck on his face. He pulled out
a somewhat old jade necklace from his pocket and hung it around Snow Bao’s neck.

Snow Bao still didn’t know anything and accidentally reached out and tugged on Ye Qian’s long
beard. Ye Qian didn’t even get angry. Instead, he was so amused by her that he laughed
uproariously.

The JinJue Princess and Ye QingHuan also brought their daughter over. Seeing Snow Bao, they
praised Li Yu for raising her well.

Princess QingHe had already started learning how to walk. She tottered over to the little sister,
and kissed the little sister’s pink tender face. The Baos were especially mischievous and picked
off all of the flowers from the flower garden. Choosing the best looking ones, they made two
flower crowns and put them on the two little sisters’ heads.

Li Yu only hated the fact that he had no camera and couldn’t record this warm scene. Later at
night when he returned inside to change clothes, he saw an unfinished drawing spread out on the
table. The drawing depicted two families meeting each other. There was a group of cute kids.
Two little girls wearing flower crowns were surrounded in the middle, both with pink and tender,
flower-like faces, smiling happily. Although the drawing wasn’t completed yet, Li Yu could
recognize with one glance that this was the Crown Prince’s painting. The Crown Prince’s
drawing skills were extremely impressive. No matter if he drew humans or objects, they were all
very vivid and lifelike.

Li Yu really loved this painting so much he couldn’t bear to part. He wanted to ask the hubby for
this painting so that he can save it. But he suddenly discovered the words written at the corner of
this drawing, which already said: “For Xiao Yu.”

So this was actually drawn for him. Li Yu thought delightedly. He had accidentally discovered
the Crown Prince’s gift for him. He should just continue to pretend he didn’t know anything.

Li Yu looked around in the surroundings. Other than the unfinished painting on the table, there
was also the painting of a family of six fishes hanging on the wall.

No, now it has already changed into a family of seven.

Li Yu discovered surprisingly, that there was the addition of a little koi with red spots in the
group of fishes. It was the same pattern as the clothes that Snow Bao wore today. Also drawn in
the Crown Prince’s painting style.

Although the Crown Prince and Snow Bao both weren’t fish, in this painting, they were still
together with everyone in fish form.

Li Yu looked back and between the two pictures, laughing giddily. At this time, Wang Xi came
calling for Li Yu from outside the room, saying that someone had sent a gift from Marquis
DingBei’s estate and wanted him to deliver it to Li Yu.

Wang Xi felt a bit strange when he heard these instructions. There were plenty of people who
had sent gifts for the one month banquet. However, they normally wouldn’t specify who to
receive it. Furthermore, Marquis DingBei……

Li Yu was already Taizi-fei, but he was still very confused over this noble and that marquis. The
Crown Prince wanted him to follow nature and don’t force himself to remember.

Marquis DingBei, Li Yu felt like this name was kind of familiar.
Wang Xi said the person who brought the gift was someone from Marquis DingBei’s estate. But
how come he had no impression?

Li Yu put the drawing back to its original place and then left the room to see Wang Xi. Wang Xi
had a well wrapped silk handkerchief. Seeing Li Yu come over, he opened it layer by layer for Li
Yu to see. Inside was a pair of delicately made harmony bracelets with silver tassels.

Wang Xi accepted this gift in a rather bewildered fashion as well. He had been extremely
cautious, wiping the bracelets down several times, inside and out. He even held it for quite a
while and made certain that there were no issues with it before coming to find Li Yu.

Li Yu saw the word “Liang” embroidered on the handkerchief and suddenly realized. So it was
her!

No wonder he felt Marquis DingBei sounded familiar. This was the in-law of the deceased 6th
Prince, Mu TianXiao. Li Yu had the fortune of meeting Mu TianXiao’s wife, Liang-shi, and had
once helped her.

Mu TiaoXiao(6)’s decision to hold his own wife hostage and threaten her life made Liang-shi
completely give up on her husband. It also caused her to lose the unborn child in her stomach.
Liang-shi returned to live with her birth family, Marquis DingBei. When Mu TianXiao(6) and
Princess LangYa joined forces, he never even remembered this wife of his from the start to
finish, which was actually rather fortunate. Later on, when the Emperor was cleaning up the Lou
Lan forces, Marquis DingBei’s Estate, which had broken off all relations with Mu TianXiao(6),
didn’t get implicated in the process.

Liang-shi didn’t have a chance to divorce Mu TianXiao(6) while he was alive. After Mu
TianXiao(6) died, Liang-shi automatically became a widower and lived frugally in a property
under Marquis DingBei’s name, spending all day inside without going out at all.

When she heard that Taizi-fei gave birth to a daughter and it was time for the one month
celebration, she originally wanted to bring a congratulations gift to express her gratefulness
towards Taizi-fei.

However, since she was supposed to be in mourning, she couldn’t appear at a one month banquet
and offend nobles. Therefore, she could only express her thanks in this fashion.

Her child was also a daughter, but she wasn’t able to protect and keep her. She hoped that Taizi-
fei’s child could be safe and sound eternally.
Li Yu put away Liang-shi’s gift in a good spot and then thought about Liang-shi’s situation. He
felt somewhat sympathetic.

When Mu TianXiao(6) was alive, he didn’t even care about Liang-shi at all. Now that he’s dead,
Liang-shi still had to live as a widow for him?

In terms of age, Li Yu heard that Liang-shi was even younger than him. Was she supposed to
waste the rest of her life living as a widow?

Li Yu was a modern man in his bones. He felt that being forced to live as a widow was
completely inhumane. Was there perhaps some sort of method to help free Liang-shi from Mu
TianXiao(6)’s shadow?
