"What's wrong?" His Majesty looked at him from the corner of his eyes. This stupid slave. Was he so happy that he became stupid after knowing that he was going to be named empress?
Su Yu swallowed his saliva, "The child shouldn't be called Mother Empress …" Forget about Father Empress, at least Father Empress was fine. What was Mother Empress?
"The eldest imperial son can be called Mother Empress. Now that you want to raise the crown prince, you must be Empress." His Majesty raised his chin slightly and put one hand on Su Yu's head, "If zhen says you are you, then you are. What are you afraid of?"
That wasn't the point! Su Yu's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, this subject is a man!" Even if he didn't call him Father Empress, he should at least call him Father. What was Mother Empress?
His Majesty frowned slightly. Why was this stupid slave saying such nonsense? "Zhen has been in the same room with you for so long. Could it be that you still can't distinguish between male and female?"
Male … Mother … Su Yu choked on his saliva, "I …"
"Mee …" The kitten in his palm curled up into a ball and hid its four little paws under its body as it meowed weakly.
Su Yu lowered his head and saw His Highness The Crown Prince's appearance. His heart ached and he was no longer in the mood to argue about the title. He crawled two steps forward on the soft cushion and took the bowl of soup from the table. He carried the child and hurriedly fed him. He didn't drink much of the soup at noon and didn't give the little guy anything to eat in the afternoon. He was probably sleepy and hungry right now. His Majesty even taught him a lesson …
Su Yu held a small spoon and scooped up a spoonful of fish soup. This fish soup was cooked with the belly of a tiger shark. It was very delicious.
During the past few days on the boat, Su Yu tried to feed His Highness The Crown Prince all kinds of fish. He discovered that the descendants of mythical beasts were indeed extraordinary. The crown prince could even eat the soup cooked with the meat of these sea monsters. Now that he had grown a few small teeth, he could eat a little bit of soft fish paste. However, he still mainly ate fish soup.
The belly of a tiger shark was the most tender. It melted as soon as it was cooked in boiling water. The thick bowl of white soup was like milk, and there was a layer of translucent film around it. It looked like jelly, and it melted in his mouth.
The delicate jade spoon was brought to Su Yu's little mouth, and the originally listless little furball immediately became spirited. It opened its mouth and sucked on the spoon, quickly smacking its little mouth. After it finished sucking the soup, the little spoon was about to leave, but it immediately stretched out its two front paws and grabbed onto Su Yu's wrist, not letting her go.
Su Yu smiled and kissed her little golden head. "Good girl, let go. Daddy will scoop another spoonful for you."
"Meow!" His Highness The Crown Prince seemed to understand and obediently let go of Su Yu's hand. When the spoon filled with fish soup came back, he once again hugged Su Yu's hand and started eating.
Su Yu's eyes were about to disappear from his smile. He suddenly thought that letting the child call him daddy wasn't a bad idea. He imagined a group of little furballs following behind him in the future. "Daddy, what are we eating today?" "Daddy, I want to scratch myself!" "Daddy, let's go sunbathe …" Just thinking about it made his saliva almost flow out.
The emperor looked at His Highness The Crown Prince who looked like a starving ghost and was immediately unhappy. This little brat, he let Wang Fuhai feed him so much in the afternoon, so why did he look like he hadn't eaten for a few days now? He purposely acted pitiful in front of the stupid slave, making it look like the emperor was abusing him!
Su Yu had just fed her the third spoonful when a slightly large furry mouth came over and licked away the spoonful of soup he had just scooped.
The emperor smacked his lips and his amber eyes immediately lit up. The emperor, who had turned into a cat at some point, grabbed onto Su Yu's hand and was about to stick his head into the bowl.
"Your Majesty, stop messing around!" Su Yu raised the bowl in his hand higher to prevent the big cat from reaching it. "The child hasn't eaten anything since noon. Let him eat his fill first."
This unfilial son was almost stuffed to death! The emperor smacked his lips. This fish soup was surprisingly delicious. No wonder the crown prince drank it so enthusiastically.
"Meow meow, meow …" His Highness The Crown Prince saw that the big cat wanted to steal his fish soup and anxiously spun around in Su Yu's hand.
After being pestered by the big cat and small cat, His Highness The Crown Prince finally finished a bowl of fish soup. He drank until his stomach was bulging and completely forgot about the unpleasantness from before. He laid on his back in Su Yu's hand and smacked his little mouth as he fell asleep.
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief and put down the bowl in his hand. He stretched and his tiredness climbed up again. He let out a big yawn and was so sleepy that tears were forced out.
A pair of slender and warm hands reached out from behind him. It was obvious who it belonged to. Su Yu rushed forward before the big cat could get close to him and made the first move. His soft body leaned back and firmly rested in the emperor's arms.
The golden robe was unusually soft and the surface was covered with a layer of fluffy fur. It was very comfortable against his cheeks. Su Yu yawned again and rubbed against the soft clothes. He wanted to say something, but his tired body didn't want to open his mouth. Then he forgot what he wanted to say and fell into darkness.
The emperor lowered his head and looked at the stupid slave rubbing against his chest. Just as he was about to scold him, he found that he had already fallen asleep. The stupid slave's face was pressed against his chest and his hands were spread out on his legs. The golden fluffy ball was sleeping in his palms.
"So stupid." The emperor muttered. It wasn't clear if he was talking about Su Yu or the crown prince. He slowly moved over and kissed the back of the slave's head.
Su Yu didn't eat dinner and slept until dawn. When he opened his eyes, he saw a big golden cat lying in his arms. The big cat was holding an almost identical small cat. The small cat's two small white paws were hugging one of the big cat's paws and it was sleeping with its belly facing the sky.
Rubbing the back of his head, he found that the big bump from yesterday didn't hurt anymore. The bulge had also disappeared a lot. Su Yu blinked. He found that his body's recovery ability was surprisingly good. The tooth mark from last time when he was bitten by the emperor was also very good. The next morning, it was mostly healed and there was only a red mark left. Could it be that he ate the strange fish?
He couldn't think of a reason, so he stopped thinking about it. Su Yu happily buried his face in the fluffy fur and took a deep breath. Then he got up energetically and made some delicious food for the big cat.
Perhaps it was because they were tired from yesterday's battle. Not to mention the National Tutor who never ate breakfast and the Prince Ling who always got up late, Prince Jing who usually got up early to catch fish was also nowhere to be seen.
The sky was clear and boundless. It was another good day.
Su Yu took out the processed salmon meat from yesterday and prepared to dry it.
"Do you need help?" A sweet voice came from behind him. Su Yu was stunned. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman wearing a sea blue silk dress gently smiling at him.
Su Yu opened his eyes wide. There was only one woman on this ship. She was the mermaid who had always lived in the fish tank in the kitchen. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered her name. "Haizhu, why did you come out?"
In order to prevent the mermaid from escaping, there was an iron fence around the water tank. The National Tutor never allowed her to take half a step out of the water tank. If she came out, then she came out. This girl didn't want to jump into the sea as soon as possible. Instead, she was leisurely helping him dry the fish!
The mermaid named Haizhu smiled bitterly. Because she had angered the National Tutor, she was forced to sign a blood contract. Now, she didn't dare to escape. The blood contract of an ancient mythical beast was no joke. It could definitely kill the fish from a thousand miles away. Even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, the National Tutor could kill her with a single thought.
Su Yu blinked and looked at the mermaid sympathetically. Since there was such a convenient method, the National Tutor didn't want to use it. Instead, they kept her in the water tank. Presumably, the National Tutor despised her status as food. Now, they probably needed the mermaid to guide them from time to time before they reluctantly signed the blood contract.
The meat of the tiger shark was relatively ordinary. The tender parts of the fish belly were very delicious when cooked into soup. The most delicious part was the snake tail. The snake tail wasn't real snake meat. Although it was chewy and had small bones, it was still fish meat. It tasted as chewy as snake meat and as tender as fish meat. The spicy tiger shark tail was made with sufficient pepper and chili. It tasted like spicy eel, except that it was crisper than eel meat.
As for the salmon meat, it was very chewy. Most of it was dried, and the rest was made into grilled fish steak. Thick chunks of fish meat were grilled over the fire until they were eighty percent cooked. Then, they were placed on a red-hot stone plate and poured with the sauce. Immediately, sizzling sounds could be heard.
The mermaid lowered her head and obediently served as a palace maid. She helped to serve the dishes and wine. She was very obedient. However, when she saw the gazes of the princes occasionally, she could clearly feel the desire in their eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little scared.
After traveling for nearly a month, they encountered two or three more nests of sea monsters. The closer they got to the deep sea, the fiercer the sea monsters became. Prince Jing was even injured in a fight. Fortunately, it was more daunting than dangerous. Along the way, the other two royal ships were almost full.
On this day, the cat masters were sunbathing on the deck when they suddenly heard the mermaid's cry.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu raised his head from his fur and looked at the sleeping white cat, the black cat and the big black and yellow cat that were fighting together, the big golden cat that was lazily wagging its tail, and the little golden cat that was hugging the big cat's tail and scratching it. As the only one present who could speak human language, he asked in a timely manner.
"The seawater … Why is it like this …" Haizhu widened her eyes and looked at the familiar sea in disbelief. This was the entrance to the sea area of the mermaids. The usually light blue seawater was now silent and dark.
Su Yu stood up and looked around. Only then did he realize that as the ship moved forward, the color of the surrounding seawater was getting darker and darker. It was so dark that it was almost black. Looking at it made him shudder, as if there was a bottomless abyss hidden in the seawater under his feet.
