Because the lotus leaves blocked his view, Jixiang fell into the big wooden basin covered by the lotus leaves in a well-prepared posture of throwing himself into the water.

Jixiang himself was also dizzy from the fall, after all, the feeling of falling on the flesh is different from falling into the water.

Ao Bai came down to help, and turned Jixiang over with force, revealing the unlucky ghost underneath.

Jixiang reluctantly got up, and it happened that the unlucky ghost also moved.

"Oh." Jixiang looked at that face and recognized it.

"Which... bastard uses a hidden weapon?" You Ji was as angry as a thread.

Jixiang let out a "huh" and pushed away the lotus leaf that Youji had covered her face before going to bed.

"Why is it you again?!" Youji regained his composure, bared his teeth and threw himself on Jixiang: "You want to smash me to death!"

Not to be outdone, Jixiang said, "How do I know you're down there? I can't even see you up there!"

The big wooden basin that Youji pulled out from nowhere didn't sink when Jixiang dropped it, but when the two of them wrestled, it swayed to and fro, unable to bear the load, and it was about to overturn.

Ao Bai had no choice but to intervene: "Since everyone knows each other, let's not fight..."

"Who knows him!"

in unison.

Well, with this kind of tacit understanding, it is even rarer not to know each other.Ao Bai thought to himself.

"I think you look familiar." Ao Bai tilted his head.

"He is the younger brother of Tingdeng." Ji Xiang was panting.

"Oh!" Ao Bai suddenly realized. "No wonder they look exactly the same!"

It's the hair color and eye color that are different.

Ting Deng can be regarded as one of the mysterious figures in Zhaoyao Mountain, just like his master and brothers, it is rare to see him once.

If it wasn't for the incident in Fancheng, Ao Bai probably wouldn't have any impression of Youji's face.

Youji looked angry, and sat down again humming: "It's so unlucky to sleep, if I knew it, I wouldn't have come!"

"Yeah, why did you come?" Ji Xiang followed his example and pulled out a lotus leaf on his head.

"Congratulations." Youji yawned lazily. "Isn't the Dragon King going to marry a bride?"

"Congratulations—?" Ji Xiang dragged out his voice.

He didn't believe that Yuji would be interested in such a thing.

"Maybe my brother will come too, so I'm here, okay!" Youji kicked him angrily.

"Tingdeng will come." Unexpectedly, Ao Bai affirmed.

"Really?" Youji sat up abruptly.

Ao Bai nodded. "My father said that Di Ye will come too, and Ting Deng will definitely come with him. Maybe we can see it at night."

Although You Ji doesn't like Di Ye, but hearing that his brother will appear, he still can't help but smile.

Ji Xiang squatted beside him with a puzzled expression on his face: "Why are you so attached to listening to the lamp?"

"Who said I'm clinging to him?" Youji glared at him.

"I heard what the lamp said." And you yourself are very obvious.

But Jixiang didn't say it.Listening to the lamp is not so polite when talking about Youji.

"Although it has the same face as mine, it is actually a piece of human-shaped brown sugar." —— Listen to Deng's original words.

"We are brothers, and it's only natural to be close together!" Youji roared.

"Ao Guang and Ao Bai's father are also brothers, so they don't stay together all the time." Ji Xiang immediately retorted.

In fact, not to mention being together all the time, if the dragon kings didn't have such a big event like this time, it would be rare to get together once in 1000 years.

Everyone is busy, and it’s okay for three to meet up to say hello occasionally, but it’s actually very difficult to gather four.

And Ao Guang does not say that he is indifferent to family affection, but he is not the type who will ask for warmth - it cannot be said that Ao Guang has no brotherly love, but he is indeed fine and will not think of his younger brothers. He is better at keeping silent when his brothers need him provide maximum assistance.

Therefore, although they never thought of acting like a baby to Ao Guang since they were young, and they also felt that Ao Guang was naturally cold-faced and not easy to get close to, they knew better than anyone else that as long as they opened their mouths, no matter what, the elder brother was definitely obliged to stand first from.

Ao Bai also nodded in agreement.Youji's performance is very obvious, he is brother Lian.

Ao Bai liked his two elder brothers very much, but he never felt that he had to be with his elder brothers often.

Youji was annoyed: "It's none of your business what I love?"

"It's none of my business, but I think you're naive." Ji Xiang smiled. "No wonder I heard from the lamp that you won't grow up."

"You're just childish!" Youji pounced on him to scratch him.

Jixiang was already squatting on the edge of the wooden basin, but Youji rushed over and he couldn't catch it. As soon as he leaned against the edge of the basin, the wooden basin tilted up dangerously.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ao Bai, who was watching, reached out his hand to stabilize the wooden basin, but before it was too late, the wooden basin tipped over with a slap, and dunked Jixiang and Youji firmly under the water.

Seeing the two of them wanting to get out of the water but unable to hold the wooden basin, Ao Bai sat on the Hulu and laughed.

Youji managed to pull it out from the bottom of the wooden basin, but when he saw Ao Bai's appearance, he was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pulled Ao Bai out of the water unexpectedly.

Although Ao Bai wasn't as quick-tempered as Jixiang was, he wasn't without temper. Coupled with Youji's constant provocations, he also started to fight in a fit of anger.

Ji Xiang also floated up after choking on a few sips of water. Before the water on his face was wiped away, he was affected by the flames of war, and his vision was blurred, so he couldn't see who was responsible, so he rushed over to mess with the two of them.

If Youji's shrill but hasty scream just now hadn't attracted attention in time, the huge movement in the lotus pond now is enough to make everyone who heard it get closer to watch.

Especially since the three of them were half submerged in the water, they were not as tall as the lotus leaves. People could only see the lotus leaves in the water being tossed to and fro by the pool, which looked very lively and... intense.

A gentle wind blew towards them from the shore, and the lotus leaves and stems were pushed aside one after another, making way for them.

The three wrestling suddenly found that the crowded lotus leaves around them suddenly disappeared, and looked up.

Jixiang raised his head stupidly, and saw that they had become the objects of crowds.

A handsome man in white stood by the pool and smiled at them.

"Not good!" Youji's scalp numb immediately, and he stopped immediately, and plunged into the water without thinking about anything.

The remaining two, Jixiang and Ao Bai, looked even more stupid.

It's a pity that Youji is a unicorn after all, not a dragon. Even if he desperately refuses to come out of the water, his instincts don't allow him to hold his breath in the water for too long - the mess just now took a lot of energy, and when he finishes struggling in the water, he is gone. The strength surfaced—it was Ao Bai who saw that something was wrong, so he went down to pick him up, and he and Ji Xiang grabbed his leg and dragged him back to the pool like a dead pig.

The man in white who had been staring at Youji looked thin, but he lifted Youji up with one hand very easily, and thanked them with a smile.

"He always likes to run around alone, but fortunately, it's not hard to find." The man looks very bookish.

Where there is commotion, there is Youngji.

"He drank water, it's better to spit it out." Ao Bai suggested realistically.Dragons can swim freely in the water, but Ao Bai knows that Qilin is different from them.

At least he had never heard of a unicorn that could pant in water.

The man agreed after hearing the words: "My stomach is full, I really need to vomit."

After speaking, he changed his hand and lifted Youji upside down, shaking like hanging clothes in full view.

Youji, who was so shaken that he rolled his eyes, felt overwhelmed, and couldn't help but vomit water with a "wow".

Then the man looked at Ji Xiang and Ao Bai, and smiled: "I'm Cui Yu, am I tired of playing with You Ji? Although he is stubborn, he has a good heart, and he will continue to be a good friend in the future."

Ji Xiang exchanged glances with Ao Bai.

This person... is indescribably strange.

And it can make Yoji startle when he sees him-in a way, it's quite a feat.

Cui Yu didn't seem to see the weird expressions on Jixiang and Ao Bai's faces, and waved his hands: "The banquet is going to be held tonight, so we'll leave first. Youji needs to clean up in advance—ah, take care of it."

This time at the Dragon Palace banquet, many guests brought their children, or they were used to serving them, or they were the very beloved little fairy boy. Some young people were attracted by the noise, and they were very curious about Ji Xiang and Ao Bai going into the water to play. .

After all, things like lotus ponds are mostly for viewing, and they rarely see such unruly behavior.

Jixiang called Hulu, and when he climbed up, there was a burst of admiration and envy.

Seeing so many people looking at them, Ao Bai felt a little embarrassed and just wanted to leave quickly.

But Xiaozhu likes this kind of envious and jealous look the most, and he can't help feeling very proud, so he swaggers and asks Ao Bai to go back and change his clothes.

……

After returning to the residence, Jixiang found that Ao Guang was not missing, and was so happy that he rushed into the house and wanted to jump on him.

Ao Guang put his finger against Ji Xiang, frowning: "Why is it so wet?" Could it be that he went to play in the water.

There are a few maidservants beside Ao Guang who are adjusting the robes for the banquet. It would be nice if Ji Xiang threw herself on this dress.

Jixiang was in a very high mood: "I met Youji!"

Ao Guang understood.

If it is meeting with Youji, it seems reasonable for Jixiang to come back no matter what form he takes.

"It's just in time to come back. I'm about to send someone to find you and change your clothes." Ao Guang frowned.

Fortunately, Jixiang came back early, otherwise he would be too late if he got wet all over.

A few palace maids who were waiting at the side came to lead Jixiang, and while brushing his hair and washing his face, he taught him the etiquette to attend tonight.This is no better than eating at home. Many pairs of eyes are watching each other's every move. If you accidentally make a joke, although you won't be able to make fun of it in person, you will still be used as a talking point behind your back. more boring.

Tomorrow the Dragon Queen will come over. Tonight, 360 crystal lamps will be lit in the Dragon Palace, and the Changming Seat will be set up all night long. People like Ao Guang Aorun cannot leave the seat even one night.

If Jixiang was younger, he could come back to sleep alone if he was really sleepy at night, but Ao Guang felt that he was past the age for special cases, so he asked his attendant to bring a cloak for Jixiang to protect against the night wind.

But Ao Bai and the others also have to watch the table, and there will be various singing and dancing programs to watch during the table, so it will not be boring.Ao Guang doesn't like to be lively, and has never done any leisure activities, so Ji Xiang, who grew up in the East China Sea, has never seen the graceful singing and dancing skills of the Shui people.

In fact, after welcoming the dragon, it is just an etiquette statement. The bride has already arrived in Beihai to make up her makeup today, but she cannot show her face. It will not be led by Ao Zhi's elders until tomorrow when the parents and relatives of both parties arrive together. After finishing the welcoming ceremony, even Ao Ting was not allowed to meet the bride before that.

When the sky is bright and the bride's relatives have arrived in Beihai, when Ao Zhen goes up to welcome them, Jixiang can come back to sleep and sleep in the cage. At that time, the Changming mat will be removed, and the ceremony altar will be set up in the inner palace. Seeing the cumbersome etiquette such as the crown after the ceremony test, juniors and guests are not required to participate, and the banquet will not start again until noon. At that time, the bride will come forward as the hostess and reward the guests one by one with Ao Jin—it will be another three days of formal banquets.

The complicated and trivial details of the rules can fill a scroll, and it would be useless to explain them to Jixiang one by one. The maidservants only picked up the important rules and explained them to Jixiang in detail.

Even if it is a simplified version, Jixiang still has a headache. It is just about which ritual utensils on the table should not be touched casually, which ones cannot be touched while watching the dishes, which dishes must be eaten and not left over, and which one can only be used to drink in a row of silver cups? Everything is particular.

Not to mention that one had to wear a dress to attend such an occasion. Ao Guang was used to all kinds of complicated and luxurious clothes, but Ji Xiang hated wearing so many layers of clothes the most.

After they put on their crowns, clothes and shoes, the long bell sounded to indicate that the banquet was about to begin.

Ao Guangsu looks for auspiciousness. "Let's go."

The author has something to say: Qingluan is a beautiful scum who deceived Ao Qin's feelings, and will not officially appear on the stage.
