The Ruan River crosses Jingzhou and Kangzhou and has a vast water area.
At this time, Ruanhe Dragon Palace.
Palaces and pavilions are located deep under the water. The light emitted by the Dragon Palace dispels the darkness under the water.
Teams of Shui Tribe soldiers, led by Patrol Yasha, constantly patrolled the surrounding area.
In several major Dragon Palaces, every time there is a feast for recruiting a son-in-law in the Dragon Palace, a large number of monks will come to the Dragon Palace. Among them, there are participants and some who just want to experience the fun.
At this time, the grand ceremony had not yet begun, so these monks gathered in the square outside the Dragon Palace.
Above the square, the white stone bricks exude a faint fluorescence in the water, and monks fall down from time to time, either wearing Confucian robes or Taoist robes.
These monks are all in groups, and when they come here they gather with people they know well.
Chen Hongyu fell from outside the Dragon Palace, walked straight through the crowd, and entered the Dragon Palace.
Some monks who noticed him were confused: "Who is this monk and how could he enter the Dragon Palace so easily?"
Although we also came to participate in the Ruanhe Dragon Palace's son-in-law recruitment ceremony, our status and background may not be low. We also waited outside the Dragon Palace in accordance with the regulations, so why did he go in directly."
Next to him, a monk from Dongling Prefecture explained: "This is the Lieyang Divine Sword, the master of Baiyun Temple, who has become famous in recent years. He has a close relationship with the fourth prince of Ruanhe Dragon Palace. He is very close to Dragon Palace on weekdays. He is half of Dragon Palace.
people.
Even if you can eventually become the son-in-law of Dragon Palace and the son-in-law of Dragon Lord, you don’t have much connection with Dragon Palace now, so why should they let you in?"
Naturally, Chen Hongyu had no way of knowing about the disputes among the monks outside the Dragon Palace.
Under the leadership of the Dragon Palace guards, Chen Hongyu came all the way to the main hall where Ao Miao lived.
As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw a pretty woman in a purple gauze skirt staying in the hall.
This woman has bright eyes and white teeth, an extremely beautiful and soft face, long hair tied behind her head, standing slim and graceful, she is Ao Xin.
Chen Hongyu is also not reserved. In the past two years, he has become familiar with Ao Xin through Ao Miao's introduction, so he does not appear to be outspoken.
He took the spiritual fruit from the fruit plate on the side, slumped down on the seat, and asked curiously: "Sister Xin, where did brother Ao Miao go? Could it be that they are also responsible for the recruitment of a son-in-law in the Dragon Palace today?"
Seeing his imageless sitting posture, Ao Xin said coquettishly: "Look at you, the majestic Fierce Sun Divine Sword, the famous monk in Jingzhou Nanliu Prefecture, why are you acting like this? Wouldn't it be unimageable if outsiders saw it?
Nothing?"
Although he was scolded, Chen Hongyu was not annoyed. Ao Miao was very close to him, so he and Ao Xin quickly became familiar with each other. Over the past two years, they have become very close to Ao Xin.
At this time, after hearing what she said, he just smiled faintly, took out a brocade box and handed it over.
"Sister Xin, this is the gift you asked for!" Last time, a few people made a bet with Ao Xin at a party, but lost to Ao Xin.
Therefore, she put some thought into creating this magical weapon.
"What is it?" Ao Xin asked curiously. She opened the brocade box and found a hairpin inside. This hairpin was small and exquisite in style. It was also a third-level magic weapon. It could be seen that some thought had been put into it.
.
In the palace, the two of them were chatting together, and the atmosphere was harmonious, even a little ambiguous.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from outside the hall, and Ao Miao walked in at a walking pace and said: "When did Hongyu come here? I went to participate in some matters before, but I didn't expect you to have arrived.
"
Having said this, he glanced at Ao Xin and said: "Little sister, why are you still here? Go change clothes quickly. Today is a great day to choose a husband for you and other sisters."
Hearing this, Ao Xin glanced at Chen Hongyu and left the palace. Here, Ao Miao saw Chen Hongyu's slightly wrinkled brows and secretly smiled in her heart.
In essence, the recruitment of a son-in-law in the Dragon Palace can be regarded as a product of compromise among the dragon clan, and it has two functions.
Initially, the Dragon Clan merged into the Dongchen Divine Court and commanded the water system. There were also estrangements and conflicts with the local human race. After all, they were outsiders, and they also usurped the water system god position, which made many human forces dissatisfied.
Therefore, the dragon clan started a grand event to recruit a son-in-law in the Dragon Palace, and eased the relationship through marriage.
At the same time, it can also absorb new energy. After those young talents from the human race enter the Dragon Palace, they will naturally become members of the Dragon Palace, which can be regarded as strengthening the strength of the dragon family.
For example, dragon sons and daughters such as Ao Xin and Ao Miao, in addition to enjoying the convenience brought by their status, naturally also have to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.
The right to choose in marriage is one kind. This time the Dragon Palace is looking for a son-in-law, Ao Xin and several other sisters are looking for a son-in-law together.
However, he and Ao Xin were the closest among the many brothers and sisters, so naturally he did not want to see her not even having the right to choose a Taoist companion.
It just so happened that Chen Hongyu's talent and temperament were both extremely good. Therefore, he set his sights on bringing the two of them together.
As long as Chen Hongyu is willing, Mr. Long will definitely agree to this marriage when he sees his qualifications.
Unfortunately, although his meaning has been very clear, Chen Hongyu has never made it clear, and his relationship with Ao Xin is just an ordinary friend.
At this time, Chen Hongyu's reaction made him have some guesses.
"Come on, come on, Hongyu and I are coming!" Ao Miao pulled Chen Hongyu up and walked out of the hall.
"But it's a bit difficult to handle." Chen Hongyu hesitated in his heart while being pulled by Ao Miao towards the outside of the hall.
Ao Miao's thoughts were so clear. He was not a fool, so how could he not see it.
He only has a slight affection for Ao Xin, which is normal.
Ao Xin is handsome, extremely talented, and has a gentle temperament, so he will naturally fall in love with her.
However, there is still some distance between love and this thing.
In Xiaoling Realm, during the reign of Emperor Qian of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Mu became the emperor. He was also granted the title of Duke of England. It can be said that he was the only one with an extraordinary status.
He couldn't think of giving such a title to his half-brother Zhou Lang instead of passing it on to his descendants.
You must know that Zhou Lang's mother originally wanted to get rid of the original owner, so she would naturally not leave such a large political legacy to Zhou Lang's descendants in vain.
In addition, with Wang Mu as a matchmaker, he married Wang Mu's cousin Wang Ling, and then married into other aristocratic families and took in several concubines.
Decades have passed, and there are many descendants in the Jin Dynasty.
But Ao Xin, Wang Ling and other wives and concubines are different.
Wang Ling and other wives and concubines were forced to do so by marriage, and were inherited by blood. Although they must have had feelings for decades, there was no emotion at all in the beginning.
And Ao Xin's talent, cultivation and background are no less than his. It can be said that he is of the same class as him. Someone who can communicate and practice together on the path is his ideal choice for a Taoist partner.
Regarding Ao Miao's matchmaking, Chen Hongyu has always had a let-it-take-it-come attitude.
In addition to being cautious in choosing a Taoist partner, there is also this layer of worry in his heart. Because of this worry, even if he knew that Ao Xin, who he had a slight affection for, was about to marry someone else, he could suppress the complicated thoughts in his heart.
