The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration] - Chap 73
Chap 73
On a rest day after the wedding ceremony, the heir of ChengEn Gong bought 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 fishtank 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.
The little princess really liked fish before. Was this catering to her wishes?
For once, Ye QingHuan stuttered: “It’s all the princess’ idea. I… I only help feed them
occasionally.”
Li Yu covered his mouth and laughed: “Isn’t it just raising a few fish? Ye-shizi, why’s your face
turning red!”
Aren’t you just refusing to acknowledge that you also really liked fish? No need to be so
embarrassed!
The tank 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 fishtank 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 off 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 from inside out and
specifically explained 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 fishtank: “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 fishtank 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 considering outwardly,
but his gaze floated towards the direction of his leg.
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 there.
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.
