Chapter 583: Rearing Many Fish

Longyuan glared at Cang Mu a few times, pouting.

Then, as an idea occurred to him, he turned towards the nearby handmaidens and demanded, “Each of you take a fish and follow me! Right now!”

There was an urgency in his tone that left the handmaidens and guardsmen stunned for a moment.

“What are you spacing out for? Hurry up!”

“Y-Yes, Your Highness.”

Afraid to even tarry, the handmaidens and guardsmen—Cang Mu included—all picked up the fish, and could feel their slippery sensation and twitching in their hands.

“Follow me right now!”

Longyuan himself carried a fish, and with those words, rapidly dashed ahead.

The handmaidens and guardsmen behind him were left confused, but soon regained their senses to quickly catch up.

It turns out that Longyuan was carrying the fish and leading them straight towards Little White Flower’s chambers.

“Slow down, Your Highness! You could fall!”

“Slow down, Your Highness! I can’t keep up!”

***

After taking a nap, Little White Flower was sitting on a swing in her yard, and playing happily with two of her handmaidens.

That was when she saw Longyuan approaching a large group of people, making a beeline for her chambers.

She and her two handmaidens were utterly bewildered when they saw that each of them was carrying fish.

Little White Flower hence quickly leapt off the swing and headed inside her chambers as well.

What was that brat doing now?

Once inside, she could clearly hear Longyuan laughing loud from the back.

“Hahaha… I’ll rear fish here from now on!” Longyuan exclaimed cheerfully.

“Your Highness, that’s a hot spring—you can’t rear fish there!” One of the handmaidens behind him quickly said.

Little White Flower rushed to the hot spring to find dozens of fish of all sizes swimming in it. Her eyes widened as her mouth hung open, and she could smell the fishiness from the pool once she sniffed.

Unable to control her body’s raw strength just then, she kicked Longyuan into the pool.

Pow—

Longyuan fell into the hot spring, and flopped around to find that he could swim.

His guardsmen had quickly pulled him out the last time he jumped into the lake, which was why he did not notice that he could swim.

Now, however, he flopped a few times before going on to swim agilely underwater.

“Hahaha… this is so fun!”

Little White Flower, as well as the handmaidens and guardsmen were all dumbstruck to find that their little crown prince was a born swimmer.

Nonetheless, Little White Flower fumed after his initial surprise. “Come out, Longyuan! You’re not welcome here!”

“Hahaha…”

However, Longyuan ignored her and swam happily in the vast hot spring alone.

Little White Flower stamped her feet, but she had to cool her temper and wait since she had no choice.

She was already furious with Longyuan bullying her just this morning, and now he even went on to put so many fish in her favorite pool. Aside from dirtying the water, he was even swimming in it!

How did the beautiful, gentle empress give birth to such a rotten child? Should she tell Her Majesty that Longyuan was bullying her?

Little White Flower’s drifted away in melancholy.

That was when Longyuan suddenly remembered that Little White Flower kicked him in the water. Rage quickly flaring in him, he soon smiled wickedly.

After swimming a few laps, he climbed out of the water and flashed a dark grin at Little White Flower.

“You… ah!”

Even before Little White Flower could finish, Longyuan had pulled her by her clothes into the water, and she screamed as she fell.

The handmaidens and guardsmen on the ground took one step back by reflex when they saw the huge splash, all of them gaping just then.

‘Don’t you have chivalry, Your Highness?!’
