The concubine is already a month pregnant, but her pregnancy is still not obvious. She must be pregnant with a kitten. When a son is born, the father must be by his side to prevent any accidents and to control the woman who may become emotional.
Since the kitten is going to be born soon, they decided not to leave yet. It won't be too late to leave after the kitten is born.
The National Tutor believed that the cats could wait on the island for five years, so they wouldn't mind waiting for another five days.
Prince Ling believed that the East Sea was rich in natural resources. Since they came to Prince Jing's residence, they should eat something they haven't eaten before.
The Emperor stood on a reef by the East Sea, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back. The waves hit the black rocks, stirring up a thin mist. The bright yellow robe fluttered in the sea breeze.
Su Yu saw the slender figure from afar and slowly walked over. When he woke up in the morning, there was no one next to him and no cat. He was curious why Master Cat didn't need to go to court, so he rubbed his sore waist and went to find him.
The reef looked flat from afar, but it was actually as tall as a person.
The Emperor looked back and saw Su Yu clinging to the reef to climb up. He used his hands and feet to stick to the reef. When he saw the Emperor looking over, he smiled at him foolishly. The Emperor reached out and pulled the stupid slave up. He looked at the grit on his body with disgust. "What are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, don't you need breakfast? Do you practice martial arts here?" Su Yu patted his robe. He was disliked by Master Cat every day, so he was no longer embarrassed.
An Hong-chul pointed to the distance. "Breakfast."
Su Yu looked in the direction of the Emperor's hand and saw His Highness King Jing, who was dressed in black, holding a harpoon. He was leaping lightly between the reefs in the shallows. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and bent his body slightly. Then, he suddenly leaped up and dove into the sea. The long harpoon pierced into the water, but his body didn't touch the water. He flipped in the air and jumped back to the reef. There were already three fish on the harpoon!
Prince Jing ran over quickly with the harpoon and proudly shook the fish in his hand. "This should be enough!"
Three big fat fishes were enough to make a sumptuous breakfast for the whole family.
His Majesty snatched the harpoon away. "It should be enough for me."
"Your Majesty, this subject caught it with great difficulty!" Prince Jing's eyes widened. He was dragged out to catch fish early in the morning by His Majesty. His Majesty said that he wanted Concubine Xian to make breakfast for him. He was so excited that he thought that his younger brother had found his conscience and wanted to treat him to breakfast. However, it turned out that his younger brother had enslaved him to catch fish and didn't intend to let him eat it!
His Majesty glanced at him and said, "I'll give you the title of Fishing King later." After saying that, he held the harpoon in one hand and Su Yu in the other and lightly jumped off the reef, leaving the brother who had been used to stand alone in the sea breeze.
The freshly caught fish would naturally be much fresher than the ones in the palace. In order to maintain the freshness, Su Yu did not marinate the fish. Instead, he cut the fish into thin slices, wrapped them in flour, and fried them in a wok of oil. He fried them until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Then, he placed them in a small bamboo basket and mixed some sauce for the Emperor to dip them in.
A pile of fried fish slices was placed in the basket. It looked like the fried pancakes sold by street stalls in the morning.
An Hong-chul frowned as he looked at the unappetizing fried fish. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce on the small plate, and slowly took a bite.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the indescribable freshness filled the tip of his tongue. The sauce was specially made by Su Yu. It perfectly made up for the bland taste of the fish. It was salty and slightly spicy, making it irresistible. After drinking a mouthful of the hot soup made from mackerel bones, his entire body felt refreshed!
His Majesty began to eat the fish slices one by one. This kind of simple and fresh delicacy couldn't be eaten in the palace.
Prince Jing persevered and chased after His Majesty to the main courtyard. He saw that His Majesty seemed to be eating fried steamed buns dipped in sauce. He was very curious. He raised his hand, picked up a piece, and tasted it. He was immediately stunned. Usually, when he was in front of a sea of fresh fish, he only thought about how to cook it in a complicated way. He never thought that such a simple way of cooking was the most delicious.
Three big fish couldn't be eaten by two cats. Su Yu filled a basket and asked Wang Gonggong to send it to the National Tutor, although the National Tutor might not be awake at this time …
His Royal Highness King Ling, who had nothing to do, yawned and walked out of the side courtyard. When he looked up, he saw the National Tutor sitting in front of the window of the small building, eating something elegantly. He couldn't help but rub his eyes. "Twenty-first, why are you up so early?"
The National Tutor glanced at him and ate the last piece of fried fish. He casually threw down the bamboo basket, turned around, and went back into the house. It was still early. After breakfast, he could continue to deduce the star chart. Where did he deduce the star chart just now? Whoosh …
With the encouragement of this breakfast, Prince Jing worked even harder every day to catch fish. The ice and snow melted, and the situation in the sea became more and more serious. It was easy to catch sea monsters by the sea.
His Majesty finally ate the fish that should be killed immediately after catching, such as the loach and mackerel.
The loach was very active. Its meat was very elastic. When it was made into a fish ball, it could bounce back to the hand when it fell to the ground. It was naturally very chewy. Usually, it was difficult to add fillings into the fish ball, but it was very easy to make a fish ball. Su Yu wrapped it with fried minced meat and gravy, and took a big bite. The fragrant fillings exploded in his mouth. Coupled with the natural freshness of the fish, he was reluctant to open his mouth and let the fragrance escape even if his tongue was scalded.
The loach was shaped like a turtle, and its sound was like that of a sheep. This type of fish didn't have to be killed immediately because it would cause a disaster like the loach. It was because this type of fish was very timid. Once it left the sea, it would be scared to death, and it wouldn't be fresh for a while. Therefore, he had to kill it in the water and immediately fish it out to eat.
Thus, Prince Jing took a large fish net, covered the head of a loach, and dragged it to the shore. Su Yu waded over in the water, took out the fish-killing knife and scale-removing knife at his waist, and quickly cut open the loach's stomach. He wanted to give it a quick death before it was scared to death.
"Meh!" The loach, whose body was comparable to a small millstone, let out a frightened cry in the water. Then, it went silent.
Prince Ling and Prince Jing worked together to carry the small millstone, which had its internal organs removed, to the beach. The National Tutor was sitting on a rock covered with a velvet blanket, looking at them indifferently. After leaving Anguo Tower, it was the same everywhere. The National Tutor was no longer confined to the high platform and hung out with them every day.
The golden cat was leisurely lying on the velvet blanket, licking its paws. These idiots want to eat the food made by my stupid slaves, so they have to work hard for me.
According to the Su Family's Cookbook, this type of loach not only sounded like a sheep, but its meat was also somewhat similar to mutton, but it had a fishy smell. The ancestors of the Su Family had studied it for a long time, but they couldn't find a better way. However, this wasn't a problem for Su Yu at all, because he had brought a lot of cumin powder from the capital.
"It's best roasted whole." Su Yu circled around the small millstone. The loach looked like a turtle, and it had a soft shell on the outside, which could be used to support the soft and fragile meat of the fish. He used an iron spike to pierce through the soft shell, set it on the grill made of stones, and lit the firewood. After the soft shell was roasted until it was crisp, he used a wooden mallet to break it, and the meat of the fish began to sizzle.
He used a small knife to cut long slits on the wide fish so that the fat was fully roasted. As he cut, he sprinkled seasonings on the fish, including cumin powder and ground chili powder to remove the fishy smell. He sprinkled the seasonings on the fish, layer by layer, so that the oil would burst out from time to time.
His Majesty the Emperor jumped onto Su Yu's shoulder, and stepped on it with his left paw on top of his right paw.
"Don't worry." Su Yu turned his head and rubbed against the soft fur of the Emperor, and continued to brush the sauce on the fish.
When the group of cats couldn't bear it anymore, Su Yu took out a small knife, quickly cut the fish into slices, and put them on the plate. He sprinkled another layer of seasonings, and His Majesty the Emperor turned into his human form and hugged the plate.
When they were eating heartily, the servants of the Prince's Mansion hurriedly ran over, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Princess Liu is about to give birth!"
"Oh?" Prince Jing raised his head with a mouthful of fish in his mouth, "Oh!" After recognizing the meaning of the words, he was shocked. He reached out and grabbed a few slices of fish, stuffed them into his mouth, and ran into the mansion.
Everyone looked at each other, and quickly finished the rest of the meat on the plate, and quickly followed him into the mansion.
Running quickly after eating would definitely cause a stomachache, but the cats obviously didn't have this concern. His Majesty the Emperor looked back at Su Yu, who began to rub his stomach after running a few steps. He frowned slightly, walked over, and picked him up. This stupid slave is so weak that he can't even walk properly. How can he live without me?
By the time they arrived, Princess Liu's courtyard was already quiet.
"Finished giving birth?" The servant who ran to pass the message was stunned. How could it be over in such a short time?
Wang Gonggong drove out the irrelevant people and quickly tidied up the side hall of the courtyard. He asked His Majesty the Emperor, the National Tutor, Prince Ling, and Concubine Xian to wait here for a while.
Madam Liu looked blankly at the two expressionless female physicians. She was prepared to face the test of life and death, but as soon as she used her strength, the child came out. "What's wrong? You're not crying?"
Such a small child, I'm afraid that he won't survive, right? Madam Liu didn't dare to look.
The female physician didn't say anything. She quickly washed the child with warm water, and wrapped it up quickly.
"How is it?" Prince Jing wiped his mouth, lifted the curtain, and hurriedly walked in.
"Mother and child are safe." When the female physician saw Prince Jing, she knelt down to salute him, and held the baby high above her head.
When Madam Liu heard this, she finally dared to turn her head to look. She saw a small pink thing slowly wriggling in the soft bedding, as if it had smelled its father's scent. It raised its little head to look around, closed its eyes tightly, and called out softly, "Meeya!"
That wasn't a baby at all. It was a genuine kitten!
Madam Liu was scared silly. She gave birth to a kitten. Would the Prince think that she was a demon and kill her? She trembled as she looked at her husband. She saw that his peach blossom eyes, which were always gentle and smiling in the past, had now … narrowed into a line.
"My son, haha, he really looks like me. Look at his energetic little paws, hahahaha!" Prince Jing held the kitten, who was crying non-stop, and excitedly jumped on the spot.
The Prince must have been scared out of his mind! Madam Liu opened her mouth. She couldn't accept the fact that her son wasn't human and her husband had gone crazy. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
