There is much joy in the old play

Ji Mancheng found that every time he changed his route, he seemed to feel something, his consciousness went through the darkness, he changed a road, and when he opened his eyes again, the place he was in changed.

This time, Ji Mancheng found himself in a cage. The railings were made of unknown material, like plants, but very hard and unshakable.At first, his vision was a little fuzzy, but after he slowly opened his eyes to wake up, he subconsciously glanced around, and there were noisy arguments outside.

"Human beings are vicious and plundered our people. Now that they broke into our territory and were caught, of course they will be sentenced to death."

"But I heard that he is not that kind of hunter, he is an ordinary human being. He was accidentally swept by the waves, so he shouldn't have any intention of harming us."

"Are you from our clan, who speak for human beings every day, have they given you any benefits?!"

"We have to be in awe of life, and God will bless us. Killing and killing all day long, reckless and stupid, can't you think of other better ways to deal with it?"

……

Ji Mancheng heard that they were discussing their own life and death.I'm human, so what are they?

Ji Mancheng turned his head to look curiously, and was surprised to find that the upper bodies of those people were no different from humans, but instead of two separated legs under the waist, they had long fish tails, neatly arranged scales, and fan-shaped slightly swaying tails. Flexible in water.

……water?

Speaking of which, he seems to be able to breathe normally?

Ji Mancheng was puzzled and strange, it was a phenomenon that science could not explain, but in the game, any kind of magical things could appear, so it is better to give up science for now.He first lowered his head to take a look at his current situation, messy casual clothes, he seemed to have been attacked, there was a wound on his hand, and the blood was scattered, but he didn't feel any pain.

After thinking about it, he decided to read the information first before making a decision.But this time, the background introduction that Jarvis passed on to him was very brief, almost just explaining that he was an ordinary human who accidentally fell into the sea and was captured by the mermaids. Daughter together.

Ji Mancheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the end, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the shore, if it was late, Sansan must be angry, angry that her father had arranged too few scenes for her, daddy is true love, she just an accident or something.

Over there, the mermaid and the mermaid quarreled endlessly, but the clansmen who supported Ji Mancheng's life were at a disadvantage, and their momentum became weaker and weaker. Just when Ji Mancheng was about to speak out and save himself, a handsome mermaid who was obviously different swam over and quarreled. The two sides stopped and bowed slightly respectfully to salute.

The outline of this mermaid's face blends the beauty of the East and the West. Although her brows and eyes are still a little green, she already has the aura of a superior person.He kept a straight face on purpose to make himself appear mature, lowered his voice and asked, "What happened? Did you forget all the rules when you quarreled like this?"

The quarreling crowd bowed their heads with guilt, "I'm extremely sorry, Your Highness."

The Highness they were talking about did not respond, and only glanced at the side of the cage calmly.Seeing his familiar face through the railing, Ji Mancheng couldn't help but bend his lips and smile.But in the next second, the mermaid turned away indifferently, looking very disgusted.

Ji Mancheng's smile froze.

His Highness said indifferently: "Human beings have many things that are better than ours. Blindly rejecting and refusing to accept them will do us no good. My father told me about marriage a few days ago. I think he is a good person. From today onwards, he will be my son." Concubine, do you have any opinions?"

The people with their heads down gasped in shock, especially the mermaid who was disgusted with the human insistence on killing Ji Mancheng. They all forgot the etiquette and looked up at His Royal Highness. When they recovered, they immediately bowed their heads. Begging for mercy: "I'm sorry, but marriage is extremely important, I hope His Highness will think twice, and don't act impulsively and do something you regret."

"You don't need to tell me, I have thought about it myself."

But the prince obviously didn't listen to his persuasion, and after he calmly refused, with a big wave of his hand, the cage railing in front of Ji Mancheng widened to both sides, revealing a gap as high as a person.He bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to reach Ji Mancheng's eyes, helped him out, and put his cloak on Ji Mancheng's shoulders.

The prince should have wanted to care about him, but he accidentally touched Ji Mancheng's wound. He didn't feel it at first, but suddenly it hurt, making Ji Mancheng hiss unpreparedly.The movement of the prince supporting him on his shoulder froze, and he flinched immediately, looking a little helpless, as if he had done something bad.

The prince, that is, Tang Hao, really wanted to take care of and help this human being, but he seemed too weak, with injuries on his body, and accidentally bumped into him, his frowning and pale face was very distressing.Therefore, Tang Hao didn't dare to move around, so he could only cautiously probe, "You are injured and it is inconvenient to walk, I will help you to walk? Is there any injury here?"

Tang Hao pointed to his waist and asked, seeing him shaking his head, he stretched out his hand to gently hold his waist, and walked away with his arms around him.

It took a while for the mermaids to raise their heads, looking at the backs of them leaving side by side with complicated eyes.

Along the way, there are beautiful and unusual underwater scenery, colorful corals, leisurely wandering fish, and many unnamed species.After swimming for a certain distance, I soon saw a magnificent palace, magnificent and imposing, like an ancient imperial palace.

Tang Hao half-armed him through several palace gates, arrived at the palace belonging to him, and then called the maids to order them to prepare clothes and other supplies for Ji Mancheng, and lead him to the bathing pool.

The maid responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness, we will definitely take care of the princess to take a bath."

They have been carefully trained, and their attitudes and behaviors are impeccable, but Tang Hao frowned, thinking that the word "serving" by them probably meant to help him bathe. This human being still has injuries on his body, so it would be more convenient for others to help, but for some reason, He was not happy to hear that.

Tang Hao found a reason for himself, then turned to ask Ji Mancheng, "Do you mind if others serve you to take a bath?"

But Ji Mancheng is still tangled, he is soaked in the sea water, why there is another bath for bathing, are the two kinds of water separated?

Hearing the question, he nodded absently.

Tang Hao naturally attributed his answer to being very concerned, and his mood improved a lot. Then he ordered the maid again, and said to Ji Mancheng: "I'm going to talk to my father about the marriage. You take a bath first, and I will give you medicine when I come back. .”

Hearing the maid thinking silently, we can also help to apply the medicine, that's all, this is the love between the prince and princess, let's not disturb.

The maid bowed her head and backed away quickly. After exiting the palace gate, she straightened her back and turned to walk towards the bathing pool.

They prepared all kinds of supplies carefully and skillfully, and moved quickly.Without their master by their side, their cautious state also relaxed a bit, and some people couldn't help discussing in a low voice, expressing their suppressed thoughts just now.

"Why did Your Highness suddenly fall in love with a human being?"

"Probably... because of her good looks?"

"What, although it is indeed good, but we are not of the same race as us, His Majesty will not agree."

"Who knows? Your Highness is so favored, and His Majesty will nod at almost everything, and this time may be no exception. We have to satisfy that human being. What if he says that we are not good at His Highness?"

"No way, I think he has a good temper and looks easy to serve."

"I just saw it for the first time, and you know? But to be honest, I really envy that human being who can marry His Highness."

"What is there to envy, I don't know how to die."

One of them spoke suddenly, and the other maids were surprised and turned to look at him, "What do you mean by that?"

But that person was of a higher seniority than them, and he was usually indifferent and severe. At this moment, she stopped cleaning up and just glanced at them, "You talk about Master behind your back, you want to be punished, or you don't know how you died ?"

The maids knew that they were talkative, and they couldn't hold back when they were young, but they were warned at this moment, so they immediately silenced, bowed their heads and worked silently.

When Tang Hao returned from his father's place, he didn't see Ji Mancheng's figure. After asking the maid, he learned that he was still in the bath, but at this time, he should come out.

Tang Hao frowned: "Since I left, I have been bathing until now?"

The maid nodded.

Tang Hao couldn't help worrying, felt that something was wrong, and couldn't care about anything else, he hurriedly swam towards the bathing pool, but when he walked around the screen blocking the bathing pool and walked to the misty pool, he happened to see Ji Mancheng coming out of the water.

The first thing that catches the eye is the back curved into a beautiful arc, the exquisite butterfly bone, deeply sunken in the middle, the thin waist, the water droplets slide down the curve of the back, the very slight sound, blending into the lake, in the faint In the mist, an extremely hot feeling rose inexplicably.

Ji Mancheng heard the movement and looked up.Tang Hao also saw his face, which was rosy white from the warm water vapor, wet hair stuck to his face, moist eyes, and looked up at him from afar with a little bewilderment.

Tang Hao was inexplicably flustered by his gaze, his heart was beating extremely fast, and before he had time to think about anything, his body turned away helplessly, his ears bursting red.

Ji Mancheng didn't know what he was thinking, but as soon as he landed, a slight chill hit him, and he couldn't help but sneezed.Tang Hao quickly swam forward and wrapped him in a towel, even though Ji Mancheng was closer to the towel than him.

Ji Mancheng took it naturally, without too much restraint, or the fear and uneasiness of facing the royal family members.Who let this person in front of him be his lover who has been with him for many years, he is very familiar with him, facing that face that will immediately appear in his mind when he closes his eyes, how could he be uncomfortable.

He wiped his body, turned around and put on his clothes. During this period, because he didn't know how to button the clothes here, he struggled for a long time, but he couldn't get it right.Tang Hao watched, and finally couldn't help swimming over, fixed in front of him, bent slightly and lowered his head to buckle for him.As a prince, he has always been served by others to dress him, so his movements are a bit jerky, but compared to a human like Ji Mancheng, he can be regarded as a skilled person.

He leaned over to help Ji Mancheng put on his clothes. The neatly arranged buttons on the front of his clothes were unbuttoned, and they were naturally opened, revealing the jade-white skin inside, and there were faintly visible red spots. will be wiped.Tang Hao became nervous inexplicably, his throat moved slightly.

After finally getting Ji Mancheng dressed, Tang Hao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize how nervous he was just now, and the buttons of his clothes were all buttoned up, so there was no reason to stick them so close again, and he secretly regretted it.

Tang Hao looked at Ji Mancheng carefully, and found that his clothes here unexpectedly suit him, even better than the most beautiful mermaid in the sea.

The silvery-white double-button long coat with a stand-up collar is decorated with black borders, like flowing light. A retro interlocking belt with complicated patterns is wrapped around the waist, which outlines the slender waist. The hem can barely cover the knees, revealing Slender legs, white insteps.

Because the costumes are specially worn by mermaids, there are naturally no trousers that humans need, and fishtails are naturally exposed.Changing to wearing it on Ji Mancheng's body, showing his legs, it's like wearing a long coat with a European design style, but still without underwear...

Tang Hao's eyes are full of astonishment, but Ji Mancheng's heart is full of strange imaginations. Since he came here, he has been breaking his scientific world view. The first thing he thinks of in his current clothes is actually a sentence he read on the Internet before. , The wind is blowing under the crotch, it's so cool without pants.

He really experienced this feeling, it is very complicated, and he still wants to wear it after getting used to it.

With little hesitation, Ji Mancheng described it to Tang Hao, hoping that he would send someone to make it, as well as the shoes.

When Tang Hao heard this, his face turned redder and redder, looking so innocent.

Curious, Ji Mancheng took two steps forward, "Could it be... Your Highness, have you never been in love?"

Tang Hao took a step back vigilantly, his expression even more flustered.

Ji Mancheng was smiling, and bad thoughts kept coming up, seeing how cute he was, how could he not help teasing him.

One step closer, Tang Hao's whole body was obviously tense, but he suddenly stopped retreating, and stood stubbornly where he was, as if he wanted to prove himself.Ji Mancheng was so interested that he almost pressed his face to his face. When he could hear his breathing, Tang Hao turned around abruptly, and swam out in embarrassment, leaving behind a sentence, "I'll have someone make, make those things for you!"

I stuttered nervously.

Ji Mancheng stood where he was, looking at his fleeing back, and secretly smiled.

Tang Hao remembered his words, and quickly ordered someone to make it, without letting Ji Mancheng experience the feeling of running naked for too long.

But Ji Mancheng didn't know that when he didn't put it on, not only he felt uncomfortable, but someone was also very uncomfortable. He would always accidentally see something he shouldn't, and turn his head quickly.

In the past, as His Royal Highness, Tang Hao would often stay outside to deal with affairs, and only went back to the palace to sleep at night.But now he is trying to solve it as soon as possible, and can't wait to go back to see his little princess.

Tang Hao hoped that he could live comfortably in the bottom of the sea, and brought him various novelty things from time to time, allowing him to try the delicious food here, and worried that he would get tired of eating fish, so he prepared sea vegetables for him.

Ji Mancheng looked at the table full of things in front of him, so dazzling that others would be amazed when they saw them, many of which were still rare treasures.

Some Ji Mancheng found it interesting, and some didn't like it very much, but seeing Tang Hao busy looking for these things, he saw it, and still turned his head to show him a happy smile, thanking him.

Tang Hao looked at his dark eyes and good-looking smile, stunned for a moment, immediately turned his head, coughed as if to cover up, and stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be indifferent: "It's fine if you like it, you are mine Princess, I will naturally treat you well."

Uncomfortable looking for reasons for your behavior.

Ji Mancheng nodded, "Well, I understand."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Tang Hao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.This human being is very weak, and without his own protection, he will be easily bullied to the point of being helpless. Only when he is given status and status, others will respect him and dare not mess around.But does he really understand what he means?Do you feel that you are strong, the same as those mermaids?

I can't explain how I feel in my heart, it's very complicated.Tang Hao himself couldn't figure it out, when he saw him for the first time, he felt that he was different, and wanted to hug him and protect him, not letting him leave.The turbulent impulse in my heart came very inexplicably.

Tang Hao lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, then came back to his senses, took out a pearl bracelet from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Each pearl seems to have been carefully selected, moderate in size, white and round, with a soft luster.

Beautiful is beautiful, but Ji Mancheng is a man and doesn't like wearing these accessories, so he shook his head and refused.

"This is what the princess must wear. It is a rule, and it is convenient to show your identity. The guards who have never seen you will let it go when they see this." Tang Hao explained it this way, but in fact, according to the tradition, it is for the big wedding Just put it on that day.It's just that Tang Hao himself was anxious, and couldn't wait to see his own logo on him, and he didn't want him to be bullied when he couldn't see it.

Now that he said so, Ji Mancheng didn't refuse anymore, and he obediently held his hand.

Tang Hao gently grasped his wrist, slipped the bead string into it, had already put it on, and did not rush to let it go, but pretended to adjust it, as if wearing this bracelet still had various particularities.Ji Mancheng let him pinch, and looked at him with his chin in interest.

Tang Hao lowered his head, looking at his slender and slender fingers, and his slightly pink nails, which were beautiful, but also really fragile, as if they would break if he applied more force.Human beings are too weak and have a short lifespan. They will bleed if they are slightly injured, or even die if they get a serious illness. They will easily disappear.

You must protect him.Tang Hao swore firmly in his heart.

Seeing him staring blankly at his hand, Ji Mancheng felt puzzled, and waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Tang Hao raise his head as if nothing had happened, and smiled, "It's okay."

Ji Mancheng didn't believe it, and always felt that there was something weird about it.But no matter how you ask Tang Hao, he doesn't say anything, so he has no choice but to give up.

After Tang Hao's own efforts to get married, he obtained His Majesty's verbal consent, but it does not mean that the matter has been completely settled, as long as it has not been officially announced, there is still room for reversal, at least some people think so.

The queen is one of them, and she summoned Tang Hao to have a good talk with him about this matter.

When she sent someone to the prince's palace, Tang Hao was eating grapes with Ji Mancheng. To be precise, it was an underwater fruit that resembled grapes.It is a circle larger than ordinary grapes. It is dark purple, fresh and juicy. It is soft and sweet when you bite it. It is very popular, but its production is very small, and it is only supplied to the palace every year. The queen only had a small plate to try something new.

But here, Tang Hao didn't say a word, seeing that Ji Mancheng liked it, he ate it all, and it was more than that, Tang Hao saw that his fingertips were wet after peeling hard, and offered to help him peel it and put it in a crystal dish, Grains of crystal-clear and transparent flesh gently leaned together, and finally entered Ji Mancheng's mouth.

Hearing the maid's words, Tang Hao didn't lift his eyelids, he just responded, and the attendants around him understood, and said for him: "Your Highness knows, he will be there soon."

The maid bowed her head and retreated, went back to report, and told the queen what she had seen.

On Tang Hao's side, he didn't set off right away, but waited for Ji Mancheng to finish eating the grapes, washed his hands clean, and picked out a suit of court attire specially tailored for him, and put it on for him.When he ordered someone to make it for him before, he had already prepared a lot, completely following the ostentation of the princess, the number of people to serve, the type of clothes and so on.

After dressing up, they went to the queen's palace side by side, followed by eight attendants.

This time, the queen called him over, obviously for a very purposeful purpose, but she didn't talk about it first, but turned a corner to care about Tang Hao's recent life.

From the moment they came in, Ji Mancheng felt a lot of scrutiny, the most obvious of which was of course the Queen, even though she was kind-hearted and smiling, she was wrapped in a gorgeous and complicated dress, looking down from a high position , revealing majesty and alienation.

And next to her, there is a pair of male and female with similar appearance, twins of dragon and phoenix, both born very good-looking, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, courtly attire, dignified posture, and when they smile, there is a hint of charm.

Compared with the queen's perfunctory attitude towards Ji Mancheng, after hearing Tang Hao's introduction, she nodded and praised casually, saying that it looked good, then turned her head and patted the hand of the exquisite girl beside her affectionately, and said with a smile: "You concentrate on government affairs I understand, but you also need to know how to relax. I can’t let go of anyone who has been by your side. Yingying grew up with you, and you have a good relationship. Whoever bullied him when you were young, you were the first to protect him. This child is kind-hearted, always caring about you, and wants to take care of you. I am here to be the master, how about letting Yingying go to accompany you? Anyway, the people around me are the most caring and understand you. "

The girl named Yingying bowed her head secretly when she heard the words, a pink blush appeared on her cheeks, she was obviously shy.

But Tang Hao was very blunt, and refused without any tact, "I don't need it, it's inconvenient for cousin Lin Ying to come here, and I don't need anyone to understand me, I understand it very well, and I know what I want. "

The queen's complexion changed when she heard his unkind words, and she became so stiff and ugly, but for the sake of royal etiquette, she endured her dissatisfaction and said, "I talked to you about marriage before, so you don't need to worry about it. You should concentrate on studying and handling government affairs. I thought you were young and ignorant, but now that you have proposed to ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage, the mother cares about you, so why not give you some advice?"

"If my mother really cares about me, of course I would be grateful." Tang Hao straightened his back and looked at her flatly, without much respect on his face.

This is obviously a sarcasm in the words.The queen patted the armrest, "You are my son, I don't care about you, maybe I want to hurt you?! Who taught you to say these things, to provoke the relationship between our mother and child! It must be someone talking nonsense, I will ask someone to give it to you." They teach, and this newcomer..."

The queen cast her eyes down on Ji Mancheng, "In order to prevent him from losing face to our royal family, someone should teach him etiquette."

The implication is that he doesn't want Tang Hao to take someone away.

Tang Hao looked at the dignified and majestic aura of a prince usually, but in fact he was still young, a little immature, and easily aroused to emotional fluctuations. At this time, when he heard that the queen wanted to suppress him, his heart suddenly jumped. Angry, his face also showed that he valued Ji Mancheng, and he raised his hand to block him.

"Queen, when it comes to royal etiquette, he is my concubine, and I should be the one to teach him anything, which is my private matter."

"You...really!" The queen choked with anger, and almost couldn't help but want to scold him for not knowing what to do.The pair of dragon and phoenix twins beside him are the queen's nephew and niece. They were born of rich and noble relatives. If Tang Hao marries any of them, he will be able to get the support of the family, and the family will also have the honor of the princess. It is a good marriage that benefits both parties.But Tang Hao is just a lump, facing such a beauty, he is not tempted, but he just fell in love with a lowly human being!

Yes, the queen is very xenophobic and doesn't like to accept people of other races. She thinks that her mermaid is the best.Her nephew and niece are even the best in this age group, talented and beautiful, with a gentle personality, why can't they marry the prince?

The queen looked down on human beings, so Ji Mancheng was not pleasing to the eye, but in the eyes of the two young nobles next to him, they saw it very differently.The first glance, of course, is the appearance.

Mermaids value fish tails, which are slender and flexible. The scales must be shiny and shiny. The second thing is the face. The skin is white and delicate. seawater.

And Ji Mancheng didn't have a fishtail, so it was very ugly in their eyes, and with two separated legs, he was absolutely different.But his skin is porcelain white, and his eyes are more in line with their pursuit. His good looks seem to be born according to the perfect image in his mind, which makes people envious.

It's a pity that it's a waste that this face is on a human.

It’s okay to be born like this, the prince is very fond of him, the baby’s attitude is as if he can’t wait to hold him in his arms and hide him in his arms. The prince protects him, and he will not hesitate to face the queen and block people behind him, as if the queen would do anything. Regardless of hurting him.

When they moved, Ji Mancheng's hand naturally rested on Tang Hao's arm, and the cuff slipped down, revealing the bracelet inside. Lin Ying saw it, shocked, and whispered something in her aunt's ear.The queen squinted and looked over, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and her lips collapsed into a straight line.

Ji Mancheng didn't know, and thought it was just a bracelet made of high-quality pearls, but as a queen, she knew what it was.It was a precious symbol of the royal family's inheritance, and it represented that this person was the lover identified by the prince, the princess of today, and the queen of the future.This choice is very solemn and cannot be changed. Generally, the queen wears it for the princess on the wedding day.

But now, Tang Hao put it on Ji Mancheng directly, so anxiously, as if he was afraid that someone would run away, and the queen was very depressed and annoyed. A human being easily obtained, what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into the prince!It was only a few days in total, Lin Ying and Lin Yan's two siblings spent so long failing to accomplish something, how could he let the prince take care of it at once!

The queen was so angry that she vomited blood and was about to explode on the spot. She was really not in the mood to look at them again, and waved her hand to let them go.

Tang Hao was also polite, and after nodding in salute, he took Ji Mancheng away.

Throughout the whole process, Ji Mancheng was like an audience watching a theater. Without saying a word, the guy around him took care of everything with force, and he was not willing to let him suffer at all.
