Chapter 22: The Birthday Banquet of the Great Prince

"It's my eldest brother's banquet, he has called me several times, I can't shirk it anymore, I have to go today. It's not interesting for me to go alone, if you come with me, you can also relieve my boredom. ”

Dong Equation said "oh", "Can I not go?" ”

"I can't."

She gave him a blank look, "Can't you still ask me what to do?" ”

Ao Gongzi pulled her arm and almost forced her out of the door, and the two walked along the street towards Dongting Lake.

The house they live in is relatively remote, some distance away from Yueyang City, but it is relatively close to Dongting Lake, and it is only two teas away.

Today's Dongting Lake is relatively calm, the lake water is clear, the lake surface is as horizontal as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green trees, everything is beautiful, making people feel as if they have walked into the picture.

Dong Equation stood on the shore for a while, and it was easy to get dizzy after looking at the surface of the lake for a long time.

She asked, "How are we going to go down?" ”

"Jump."

"I can't swim."

Ao Gongzi said "oh", suddenly turned behind her, and pushed her the back.

Dong Equation staggered and stood unsteadily, and plunged headlong into the water.

She really can't swim, and as soon as she entered the water, she drank a few sips of water so hard that she choked on tears. I wanted to call for help, but when I opened my mouth, the lake water poured into my mouth desperately. She fluttered desperately, and greeted the eighteen generations of Ao Gongzi's ancestors in her heart.

Just as she felt like she was about to drown, a large bubble was poured on top of her head, and the bubble completely enveloped her head. Then she was surprised to find that she could actually breathe in the bubbles.

She let out a long breath, and it felt like the kind of oxygen mask she wore on top of her head when she walked on the bottom of the sea, with oxygen flowing through it, and she could breathe freely.

Ao Gongzi appeared behind her at some point, gently supported her waist with his palm, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" Is it magical? ”

Dong Equation gave him a glaring look, it was magical, and he almost ended his life.

She said hatefully, "Do you want to murder or go to the feast?" ”

Ao Gongzi laughed, "Just kidding you, I didn't expect you to really can't swim." Let's go, I'll take you with you to walk on the ground. ”

He said that he could walk on the ground as if he were on the ground, which was really the case, Dong Equation felt that he didn't need to work hard at all, she didn't seem to be able to sink either, this water surface was like a mirror, and she could easily walk underwater.

Ao Gongzi took her for a short while, and then arrived at the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake.

To be honest, this Dragon Palace is really small, how big do you think Dongting Lake can be, and the Dragon Palace is not much bigger. However, although it is small, its luxury is not inferior at all, the gate and the top of the Dragon Palace are inlaid with a lot of shiny beads, and the entire Dragon Palace is golden, resplendent and brilliant.

As soon as he entered the Dragon Palace, Ao Gongzi received the spell, and the bubble above Dong Equation's head also burst.

She thought that there must be no air in the Dragon Palace, but it was strange to say that she walked in the middle as a mortal, but she did not feel difficult to breathe, and she did not seem to have a sense of urgency to be oppressed by the pressure of the water underwater. Everything was as if it were on land, and if it weren't for the fish, shrimp and crabs floating around her from time to time, she wouldn't have felt like it was underwater.

She was secretly surprised, she didn't expect to be able to go to the Dragon Palace one day, which was also an additional benefit for traveling through the world of Liaozhai. If you are in this world, it is no problem to go to the bottom of Dongting Lake to play around, but if you want to see the Dragon Palace, it is impossible.

The banquet of the eldest prince of the Dragon Palace was not a big banquet, so he held two tables of banquets in a small hall behind the Dragon Palace, and invited all friends who had a good relationship.

Seeing Ao Gongzi walking in, someone immediately laughed and said: "Say you're late, it's really late, punish three glasses of wine." ”

Ao Gongzi said: "I'm really late, and I'll be punished in a while." ”

Someone saw Dong Equation and asked with a smile: "Third son, who is this person you are carrying?" Why does it look like a mortal? ”

Ao Gongzi smiled, "This is my friend." ”

He led Dong Equation to find a remote place to sit down, the banquet had not yet begun, but most of the people had already sat down.

Dong Equation secretly looked at those people, and most of them seemed to be in the water, some had a shrimp head on their heads, some had crab pincers, some had strange faces, and some dragged a fish tail.

She thought to herself, these can't all be water spirits, there is no human besides her, right?

She looked at Ao Gongzi, who smiled back at her, "You guessed it." ”

Dong Equation was puzzled, "What did you guess right?" ”

He blinked, "These people aren't human." ”

Dong Equation was shocked, could it be that he could not read minds? She didn't know how many times she scolded him in her heart, she already knew this?

While he was thinking about it, someone shouted, "The eldest prince is here." ”

With shouting, from the main hall walked in a brocade dressed son, the man had two horns on his head, looking very similar to dragon horns, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Ao Gongzi's, but his face was obviously more serious.

He entered the hall, politely made a round of gestures, and said with a smile: "Just now, my father announced me, it's a little late, please don't blame me." ”

Those water tribes hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is polite, I don't dare to wait." ”

The eldest prince ordered the feast to be opened, and a group of maids rushed in, each with a plate in his hand, and the delicacies placed in it were truly exquisite.

Dong Equation likes to cook and eat vegetables, seeing that most of those dishes are fresh in the water, Dongting Lake specialties, as well as lotus root and water chestnut and the like, it seems that this Dongting water not only feeds people within a radius of 100 miles, but also feeds these water spirits.

Ao Gongzi watched her staring at a plate of steamed fish for a long time, and said in a low voice: "These river freshness are the freshest, and the cook's skills are also good, you can taste some of them." ”

Dong Fangxin said, of course it was fresh, it was slaughtered before it came out of the water, and it was more tender than the freshly salvaged one on the boat.

She tasted it, and it was indeed delicious, no less than the craftsmanship of the chef in the human restaurant.

She sighed, "I really didn't expect there to be such a chef in the water?" ”

Ao Gongzi said with a smile: "What a chef is not a chef, speaking of which, this chef is not considered to be in our water, but a friend invited by my father from the shore, and he is also a delicious master." After dating his father for several years, he was very speculative, so he invited him to cook in the Dragon Palace. He doesn't often show his skills, which is also the big brother's face, if I go to invite people, most of them won't give me this face. ”

Dong Equation said in his heart, it turns out that this chef is still a human being.

The two were talking, and the eldest prince was already toasting from table to table, he held a wine glass in his hand, and politely laughed with people at every table, although his face was still a little serious, but the tone of his speech was rare and amiable. Everyone seemed to be smiling, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of their eyes at all.
