Until the fish tank was loaded onto the Prince Regent's carriage, the little koi carp didn't even come out of the water plants.

The carriage moved forward slowly. Qin Zhao was sitting in the carriage, resting his hands on his chest leisurely, and his eyes fell on the bright red spot exposed in the water and grass.

...Are you so scared?

Qin Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the wall of the fish tank with his fingertips.

The fish's tail trembles visibly to the naked eye.

It's also quite cute.

The regent completely put aside his cold and majestic look in front of the little emperor, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "I can't hide it well in Tibet, and my tail is exposed, you silly fish."

The tail fin trembled, then quickly shrank inward and hid it.

You really understand what people are saying.

Qin Zhao suppressed his smile and poured himself a cup of tea.

In fact, he couldn't say why he kept this little thing.

These days, Qin Zhao has focused all his energy on handling government affairs and has no time to take care of other things, not to mention useless things like raising pets. He knows that people like him will probably not end well, and those around him will

Nothing good will come of it.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a human or a pet.

But……

Qin Zhao rubbed it gently with his fingertips, recalling the feeling of touching this little fish. The strange familiarity rarely confused him, and when he came back to his senses,

I have already collected this little fish.

This is the first time he has changed his decision.

Qin Zhao sipped his tea and smiled softly.

Sure enough, now that he is older, this little thing is worth making a fuss about and thinking about over and over again.

It's just a small fish. He can just go back home and find a servant to take care of him. He still has a lot of things to deal with, so how can he have time to take care of this little thing——

Qin Zhao thought this and was about to take the folding book at hand. When he raised his eyes, he met the eyes of the little koi.

The little koi poked its head out of the water plants and looked at him cautiously.

Qin Zhao became interested: "Are you finally willing to come?"

Seemingly realizing that Qin Zhao was treating him well, the little koi swam out a little, tilted its head to one side, turned back, and waved its fins at him twice.

Qin Zhao looked in the direction he was pointing, and what the little koi was looking at was the pot of tea and a few refreshments he put at hand.

Qin Zhao understood. He took a piece of tea and waved it in front of the little koi: "Want to eat?"

The little koi's eyes followed his hand, then shook it, and clicked hard.

Qin Zhao thought this little fish was really interesting.

‌You were so frightened that you ran away so quickly to beg for food?

This fish is not only stupid, but also greedy.

Qin Zhao took the pastry, broke off a small piece and threw it into the water. The little koi fish swam up quickly, took the small piece of pastry away, twisted it and got back into the water plants.

After a while, the little koi fish that had eaten all the cakes came out and poked its head.

Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

The regent at that time just fed the fish in the carriage. It was not until the carriage stopped that he realized that he had wasted the time along the way.

I haven't read a word of the folding book at hand.

That's what it means to play with things and lose one's heart.

Qin Zhao pressed his eyebrows helplessly, suppressed the original smile on his face, and got out of the carriage.

The entourage moved the fish tank down and asked him: "Your Majesty, that fish..."

"Put it in the artificial lake in the backyard." Qin Zhao spoke calmly. He looked back at the little koi swimming in the fish tank to eat, paused, and couldn't help but order, "Send a few

Take care of it with careful servants. This fish is greedy, so don’t feed it too much at one time.”

Follower: "...ah?"

The entourage once heard that his prince was so interested in matters other than government affairs. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded: "Yes."

The little koi just took up residence in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

The regent did not live in the capital, but built a villa outside the city. There was a huge artificial lake in the backyard of the village. The lakeshore was covered with green trees and flowers. The verandah circled around the lake and was connected to the lake.

Pavilion.

It would take a long time for Jingli to swim around the lake.

It's much more comfortable than being in that small fish tank.

But Jingli didn't feel at ease for long.

The problem still lies in diet.

He really couldn't eat the fish feed fed to him by the Prince Regent's Palace.

The fish feed fed to the Prince Regent's Mansion is made of the finest small fish and shrimps, and it is definitely not bad. But Jingli's soul is still a human being, and he can't convince himself to eat those things. The food that was transported to Beijing a few days ago was

At that time, those people always fed him food. If he hadn't been so hungry, Jing Li wouldn't have eaten at all.

… He began to miss the cakes the Prince Regent fed him.

That was the most delicious thing Jing Li had eaten since he came this generation.

But for several days, Jing Li didn't even see the regent, let alone cakes.

He is truly a workaholic.

The little koi fish spit out a string of bubbles at the bottom of the water.

"Little koi, come to eat!" At meal time, two maids stood by the lake and called him.

These two people are the maids in the house who are responsible for raising and feeding them. They come once in the morning and once in the evening, and they come very accurately.

The little koi floated listlessly to the surface, and sprinkled a handful of feed towards him, all over his body. Jing Li shook his fins, shook the feed off his body, picked through the water, and picked a few fried koi.

Eat the cooked shrimps.

"Huan'er, I think the little koi doesn't seem to like eating this kind of feed." One of the maids observed the movements of the little koi and said to the companion beside her.

"But this is the one it eats the most." Another maid also wondered, "This koi is really different from other fish. I have changed so many kinds of feed these days, but I haven't seen it eat much.

.How can the prince say that it eats a lot?"

That's because you didn't feed me delicious food!

The little koi carp wagged its tail in the water in protest.

The two maids themselves could not understand this action.

Normally, the people in the Prince Regent's Palace are already very fond of the little koi. These days, as for the little koi's feeding problem, everyone has tried different methods to change him to several kinds of delicious feed.

.

But no matter how much you change it, it's still fish feed, not food for humans at all.

Jing Li wished for once that she could speak human language.

"Okay, let's have the kitchen prepare some new feed tomorrow to try." The maid named Huan'er finished feeding the feed and said to her companion, "Let's go and eat quickly. If it's too late, we won't be able to catch up."

.”

The two maids quickly left each other, and Jing Li looked on helplessly, his eyes full of grievances.

He also wants to eat.

It would be great if he could become a human being.

Jing Li picked and picked, only half full after eating, he sank back to the bottom of the water.

The man-made lake in Zhuangzi connects most of the courtyards. This is the time for dinner, and there is a faint smell of rice floating in the house. The little koi followed the smell and swam around, and soon they swam to the outside of a remote small courtyard.

‌.

This is where the servants of the mansion live, and not far from it is the kitchen.

The little koi carp was lying on the bank of the water, watching the servants in the house eating and chatting through the thick grass.

I really want to eat it...

The little shrimp he just ate was enough to fill his stomach, but it couldn't quench his greed. The more Jing Li looked at it, the more he became greedy. He felt so aggrieved that he even pulled back his fins.

Then the regent also said that he would raise him. Is there anyone who raises fish like him?

This is simply abuse!

Jing Li thought angrily, but suddenly felt something strange in his body.

It seems...a little hot?
