The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 69
Chap 69
Li Yu thought that the next step would advance his and Jing-wang’s relationship with an even
more shameless task. However, it ended up being “for better or for worse.” Was this indicating
that perhaps they will encounter some kind of hardship soon?
Even if this was true, no problem. Both him and Jing-wang were 100% on the same page at all
times. After becoming lovers, how can he only enjoy the good stuff. No matter what happened,
he was willing to accompany the other down the same path, advancing and retreating together.
They will definitely complete this step. Li Yu was very confident.
The reward of “for better or for worse” was still another one of Jing-wang’s secrets.
Looks like eventually, Li Yu was going to figure out all of Jing-wang’s secrets.
With a smile, Li Yu exited the system. He worriedly glanced at the bed. Jing-wang should be
resting and not paying attention to the fish tank. Finally, Li Yu swam onto the silver stone bed
and covered himself with the water grass blanket.
Recalling the scene he had with Jing-wang under the darkness of the blankets, the abnormally
bold fish now started to feel somewhat embarrassed. Heart jumping loudly, he furiously waved
his tail, as if by flailing like this, he could chase away all of his embarrassment.
…… forget it! It’s already been done. There’s even more impressive things to come! What’s the
point of feeling embarrassed!
Li Yu comforted himself nonstop, but still waved his tail a dozen of times before finally falling
asleep slowly.
Meanwhile the person on the bed waited until the fish’s movements stopped completely before
opening his eyes to look tenderly at the fish.
The wedding day of Ye QingHuan and the JinJue Princess got closer. The little princess once
invited Li Yu to attend the wedding. Li Yu also agreed. Seeing that the wedding was within the
next few days, Li Yu felt like it was time to prepare the gifts he was going to give Ye-shizi and
the Princess. It’s not like he could go empty handed.
However, during the day he had to accompany Jing-wang to work as a fish; during the night he
had to romance Jing-wang in his human form. Everything involved Jing-wang. Li Yu can only
specifically pick a day to have Jing-wang accompany him to buy a gift.
Jing-wang really didn’t get it at all. In the estate, Wang Xi usually took care of this kind of stuff.
Jing-wang never worried about what Ye QingHuan liked or whatever. Why would Xiao Yu insist
on going out to buy the gift himself? Why not randomly pick something from the storage room,
there were plenty in there?
“Your highness, this is something from the heart. I need to prepare it myself for it to be sincere.”
Li Yu explained.
Xiao Yu was rushing about for other people; Jing-wang felt extremely discontent. Nevertheless,
Jing-wang was still very willing to accompany Xiao Yu outside. The whole trip he remained by
Li Yu’s side without leaving a single step.
Li Yu liked golden shiny things. The gifts he gave also followed his usual style. Considering Ye-
shizi and the Princess’s status, he didn’t need to concern himself with pragmatics. With his
boyfriend to support him, Li Yu charged into a rather classy looking antique shop, wanting to
buy a high quality antique to give to the couple.
However, Li Yu wasn’t really good at picking out antiques. First, he picked out a violet gold
incense burner. Because he and Jing-wang agreed to hide their identities, the two people walked
on foot and didn’t bring any guards. Adding the fact that Jing-wang rarely shopped himself, the
store keeper thought these two were easy targets and purposely praised his own store very
extravagantly. Seeing how golden and dazzling this incense burner was, and also how it was
carved with an extremely complicated design, Li Yu felt extremely moved and immediately
started pulling out his money. To the side, Jing-wang really couldn’t keep watching and silently
tapped the incense burner with his finger. A large hole opened up on the cover of the incense
burner, exposing the color of rock. As it turned out, only the outside was covered by a layer of
gold.
Li Yu: “……”
QQQ, so the nice looking antique incense burner was a fake?!
This wasn’t fish’s fault. Fish doesn’t really have any experience and couldn’t tell.
However, antique… antique. Since it was supposed to be ancient, it should be all grey and dusty.
Those that were gold and shiny definitely were questionable and shouldn’t be bought!
The shopkeeper, who sold fake goods, was captured by guards brought along by Wang-
gonggong, who was following far off in the distance, and taken to the justice department.
Li Yu very quickly learned his lesson and pulled himself together. Changing a store, he picked
out a makeup box. The shopkeeper patted himself on the chest and promised that it belonged to
some Princess from a previous dynasty. Li Yu also felt this box looked interesting and appealing.
It looked very old, so it should be real. Plus, a princess deserved to receive things that belonged
to a princess. Li Yu was just about to buy it when Jing-wang gave a light cough and glanced
outside the window. Li Yu looked over as well and saw on a vendor’s stall on the side of the
road, there was also the same “antique from a previous dynasty” placed there.
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu received a huge blow and felt that he really didn’t have the luck in buying antiques. In a
huff, he changed to simply buying gold and silver stuff.
He picked out a gold and jade screen, feeling like this time, there shouldn’t be a problem.
However, the back of the screen had a very hidden crack which was discovered by the sharp
eyed Jing-wang. Jing-wang just touched it lightly and the screen immediately split in half.
Li Yu then picked out a green jade phoenix and dragon tablet. Jing-wang casually splashed a cup
of cold tea on it. As it turned out, the jade used to make the tablet was fake jade. The green color
of the material was only a dye. With a cup of cold tea, the green immediately washed off.
One shop after another, everything that Li Yu picked out was either fake or broken. Wang Xi
arrested one shopkeeper after another. But Li Yu still had no gains.
He was even a Koi. What kind of unfortunate luck was this!
Li Yu was very unhappy that he continued to be deceived by fakes one after another. Wasn’t this
saying that his judgment and insight was so bad that he was practically blind?
Exploding with rage, Li Yu huffed and went to leave. Jing-wang immediately grabbed him and
stuffed something into his hand.
Li Yu wasn’t actually angry at Jing-wang. It’s just continuously picking fake items made him
look very stupid. Fish felt like he was losing face here.
For the sake of the boyfriend, he calmed down somewhat and lowered his head to look at the
thing that Jing-wang gave him. It was another little gold fish again. With one look he can tell that
this was the same style as the one that Jing-wang gave him before. The same charming look,
only the pose wasn’t the same. The fish before had its tail curled. This one had its lips pursed and
was foolishly blowing bubbles.
With furrowed brows, Li Yu glanced at Jing-wang. Jing-wang was also looking back at him. Li
Yu knew that the other was begging for mercy again and laughed out loud. Holding this fish
snuggly in his hand, Li Yu was no longer as angry as before.
How many little gold fishes were there exactly?
Li Yu voluntarily leaned over and let Jing-wang help him hang this fish on his waist as well.
With a smile, Jing-wang helped him hang the fish. Then, tugging Li Yu’s hand, Jing-wang
brought him to the biggest jewelry store in the imperial city.
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store often did business with high ranking officials. Recognizing
Jing-wang, he hastily came over to welcome them and exchange pleasant greetings.
Li Yu finally learned that the fish that Jing-wang gifted him were all made here.
He was really stupid. Why did he go searching for shops himself? Why didn’t he ask Jing-wang
for some advice earlier. He could have avoided walking around in a big circle and also getting
swindled so many times.
It was because he never imagined that Jing-wang would also visit a jewelry store.
With Jing-wang’s presence by Li Yu’s side, the shopkeeper voluntarily brought out all of the
high quality goods and displayed them for Li-gongzi’s picking. Li Yu went all out and first
picked out a pair of silver bottles, then a gold scepter, and a pair of vivid, lifelike jade dolls.
Jing-wang put down a few bank notes. The shopkeeper swiftly ordered people to wrap
everything up to be delivered to the Jing Estate soon.
There weren’t many opportunities to come to the jewelry store. Li Yu thought for a second and
added an oval shaped silver pearl to his purchase.
This pearl was only about the size of a thumb. The design on it looked a bit like the modern
image of earth, which caught Li Yu’s attention. Li Yu felt that Jing-wang gifted him so many
things, but he still hasn’t given Jing-wang anything presentable before.
Li Yu asked the shopkeeper for a red string and strung up the pearl himself before handing it to
Jing-wang.
“I’m giving this to you, your highness. Many thanks for taking care of me!” Li Yu said with a
smile.
Jing-wang bought everything else with his bank notes. Now it was Li Yu’s turn!
Li Yu rushed to pull out a bulging, light gold colored money pouch to pay the bills. Actually, he
also got this from Wang Xi before leaving the estate, so it didn’t count as his money. However,
since the money was coming out of his hands, then it counted as him buying it!
This kind of pearl from the jewelry store should be very expensive, right? Li Yu thought
instinctively.
The jewelry storekeeper wanted to speak but hesitated. He didn’t dare to say at all that this pearl,
which was used for decoration, didn’t cost anything and could even be given for free. Under
Jing-wang’s ice-cold expression and the expectant gaze of the little gongzi next to Jing-wang’s
side, the shopkeeper deliberated back and forth before finally giving a price meekly. Li Yu very
excitedly paid the money.
The pearl was indeed somewhat expensive. Li Yu felt a bit pained when he pulled out the
money. However, you get what you paid. Seeing Jing-wang hang the pearl on his waist right in
front of his eyes, Li Yu felt incomparably delighted, feeling like his judgment and insight
weren’t at an irreversible stage yet.
At least, he picked a great boyfriend!
After buying the gifts and returning to the estate, Jing-wang ordered people to rewrite the gift list
and put the gifts that Li Yu bought on it as well.
“Why place them together with yours?” Li Yu wanted to know. The things that he bought
definitely couldn’t compare to Jing-wang’s.
Jing-wang wrote Li Yu’s name next to his own and then gave Li Yu a deep profound look.
Li Yu understood in a flash and flushed red all the way to his ears.
The place next to a Wang was for the wangfei. The reason why Jing-wang would place their gifts
and names together naturally was because he considered Li Yu to be family– as wangfei.
They were still only dating. Should he really become this wangfei?
Li Yu deliberated back and forth for a while, but didn’t say any words of refusal in the end.
On the wedding day, Li Yu wore an embroidered robe that Jing-wang made for him, which had
red corals and silver lotuses. Binding his hair with a jade hairpin, Li Yu had a bunch of tinkling
little gold fishes hanging from his waist, looking sharp and noble.
Jing-wang also wore a matching black robe with purple and red lining. Hair bound with a red
hair tie, Jing-wang looked extraordinarily handsome.
Li Yu sneakily looked over, ever so gleeful. The two of them looked like they were wearing
matching couples outfits. If they went out wearing these, would they end up stealing Ye-shizi’s
limelight?
Jing-wang held Li Yu around the waist, wanting him to feel at ease. His highness Jing-wang
didn’t care about what Ye QingHuan would think at all.
After the two finished getting prepared, it was time to leave. Li Yu still sat in the carriage
together with Jing-wang. As soon as he got in, he discovered something didn’t see right.
Last time when they went to the marketplace, it was clearly a very narrow and cramped carriage.
This time it was very spacious with enough space for the two people and plenty to spare. The tea
table, tea, and even desserts that he loved to eat were all prepared.
Holding Li Yu’s hand, Jing-wang sat down with a smile.
Li Yu gave Jing-wang a vicious glare, thinking sure enough, this guy was a scoundrel!
Going to the ChengEn Palace Estate this time, in order to take precautions from Xiao Yu
changing back midway, Jing-wang still brought his “pet fish.”
The crystal bottle was placed in the corner. The fish pillow floated there quietly, as if looking at
the two people.
The carriage started moving. Jing-wang gave Li Yu a book. Of course, it wasn’t the kind about
demons. Jing-wang discovered that Li Yu really liked to read folk stories. This time the carriage
prepared was very big. Li Yu laid down comfortably and used Jing-wang’s knee as a pillow. He
flipped through the book while conversing with Jing-wang.
Jing-wang picked up a peach blossom cookie and very accordingly ripped it into pieces. One of
the pieces was given to “feed” the fish inside the crystal bottle. All of the other pieces were fed
to the carp demon who had opened his mouth wide in a pitiful cry for food.
They very quickly arrived at the ChengEn Palace Estate.
On this day, the ChengEn Palace Estate was a hubbub of activity, decorated with lanterns and
colored banners all over. For Ye QingHuan and the Princess’s wedding, not only did the JinJue
royal family and all of ChengEn Palace Estate’s friends and family show up. There were also
plenty of important government officials who came to congratulate them. Head manager Luo
brought over the Emperor’s imperial edict, bestowing a big pile of gifts. The list of gifts couldn’t
even be recited in a short amount of time. The King of JinJue also loved this daughter very
dearly. The procession for the bride was at least 10 li long with about over 100 boxes of dowry.
Li Yu followed Jing-wang and was welcomed inside by the new groom, Ye-shizi personally.
Jing-wang nodded faintly to ChengEn Gong, who was sitting in the main seat. The current
ChengEn Gong was Empress Xiao Hui’s brother and had an uncle-nephew relationship with
Jing-wang. The two saw each other, many words exchanged wordlessly.
ChengEn Gong’s wife, Jing-wang’s aunt, was also greeting the guests. Seeing Jing-wang
bringing the youth next to him inside together, like a couples pair, the madam had a smile in her
eyes.
Not long later, a maid came over and gave Li Yu a pair of jade butterflies, saying with a smile:
“The madam thanks his highness and Li-gongzi for coming to attend the wedding, and also
wishes the two of you a long and happy life together.”
Li Yu accepted the butterflies and saw Madam ChengEn looking at him from afar with a smile.
Li Yu was puzzled. Wasn’t today Ye QingHuan’s wedding? Why would she say that to him and
Jing-wang?
Don’t tell him–
Li Yu suddenly realized. Was Jing-wang also bringing him to ChengEn Palace Estate today to
meet the parents?
Li Yu covered his face. How can he be so sudden? Fish wasn’t prepared at all!
Not to mention, fish was too happy!
