Today is a very special day for the dragon carp family. It is called the Red Powder Festival. The name is a bit silly, but it is a good day. It is a festival full of pink feelings. Almost half of the couples of the dragon carp family became good things on this day. This day is an opportunity for them to find a partner.
Because on this special day, no matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you have someone you like, you can boldly confess your love and give the purple star seaweed neck ring you wove to the other party. If the other party takes it and wears it around your neck, it means acceptance If they don't agree to their own courtship, it means that they want to watch together and get married.
It can also be a fair competition if several people confess to one person at the same time. The person whose confession accepts the collar will win. The difference is that if it is a dragon carp noble, it can also accept all the confessors at the same time. As long as other people have no objections, they can also live together. This is the privilege of the nobles, because the dragon carp nobles pay special attention to the reproduction of offspring, and the more people reproduce, the better, so they can do this.
Ordinary civilians don't mind many people serving a nobleman together. This is already a normal thing for them, and it is something they can accept and get used to.
The confession on this day is not restricted by any status, whether it is a commoner or an aristocrat, you can confess to the person in your heart. Accepting or rejecting is also everyone's right. No one, including nobles, can force others to make any decision, otherwise they will be deprived of the right to participate in this festival, and will be disgusted and despised by many unmarried men and women.
This day was full of singing and dancing like the night they got married, and it lasted from morning to night. Although it was not as lively as that day, the atmosphere was much faster than that day. Probably because it is closely related to more people.
Jin Lin was wearing a black and gold costume, with a golden crown on his head. Just looking at this outfit, he looked a bit like Helian Hongzhan. He was sitting on his throne, with the golden mask on his face glowing coldly. Even on such a day, I couldn't see any joy in him, and he was still so calm.
Xiaohan is also sitting next to Jinlin in very formal Chinese clothes. He has a lot of clothes, and Jinlin personally chooses the fabrics and orders them to be tailored for him. From this point of view, Jinlin is more attentive to him.
It's just because there is a long table full of fruit drinks between the two of them, which is very long, so the distance between the two is not close.
In addition, the singing and dancing are very loud, so lively, if you don't talk at the top of your throat, you probably can't hear it. But for two people who are close and don't have much communication, it's nothing. Anyway, even if they get together, they don't have much to talk about. This saves Xiaohan from feeling embarrassed.
Xiaohan was still a little cramped at first, but after seeing the smiles on the faces of those men and women and listening to those joyful voices, he let go a little bit. The two male servants beside him also took good care of him. Among them, the male servant who took him to Jinlin's side on the wedding day was named Xiaohong, and the other one who was not very talkative was named Xiaolu.
The two male servants have very different personalities, but they usually take good care of Xiaohan. At the very least, he has never felt slighted in terms of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, which is completely different from when he was in the Merman Castle.
Xiaohong bent over to talk to Xiaohan to relieve boredom, while Xiaolu was picking all kinds of fruits beside her. So far the atmosphere is good.
Just when Xiao Han thought that he came here today just to accompany him to participate in this dragon carp festival as the queen of Jin Lin, he saw several men and women walking towards Jin Lin one after another, the most important thing was their They all hold neck rings woven from purple star dill seaweed.
Xiaohan was in a daze, he didn't understand what was going on, and subconsciously turned to look at Xiaohong beside him.
Xiao Hong had an unchanging faint smile on her face, a little bit charming, and slowly explained: "The king didn't have a queen before, but he had concubines, but the king's desire is not strong, so he didn't favor these male and female concubines." After marrying the queen, the king left all the concubines. However, these male and female concubines still have a lot of affection for the king and hope to stay by his side, so they came to confess their love today, as long as The king agrees, and they can go back to the palace and continue to be with the king. Today, whether it is confession or being confessed, there is no restriction on status, and the king will naturally encounter this situation." Xiaohan was stunned, he really I didn't expect this level, "Then, will the king accept it?" Xiaohong shook her head, "It's hard for us to say what the king means. These people may think that the king's thoughts were all on the big issues of the clan in the past. , I don’t know how wonderful it is because I haven’t experienced it before. But now that you are married to the queen, you have done everything you should do, and you should also know the beauty of this thing, so they came again "Although the king is very cold, he is still very kind. Whether it is to slaves or servants, although he only gives orders, he never really enslaves us. If he can become the king's partner, even if he is not the only one Yes, that is also a very happy and glorious thing. It is a wonderful thing to get more care, and most importantly, to be favored by the king."
Xiao Han lowered his head, "I used to hear that he was very tyrannical, and he often abused the people below in various ways. Many people avoided him in fear and wanted to run away." Those were the people who slandered the king. Queen, you have been married to the king for so long, you should have a general idea of what the king is like. Nu belongs to the redtail family, which is a relatively lowly race in the sea. But because men and women of our race are more beautiful, they are often trafficked into sex slaves of nobles.
"I was sold six times before, and the other time I was sold directly to a place for men's entertainment. I am a man, and I like men, but it doesn't mean that I like to be wheeled by men, but this kind of life continues For five years. The last time, the slave was bought by the king. The king never let the slave do that kind of thing, but let the slave be an ordinary servant, which is enough to show the character of the king."
Why do those people want to slander the king
"Of course it's because they tried to seduce the king but failed. So they use this method to make other people have no chance or don't want to approach the king at all, so they think they still have a chance. Of course, although the king doesn't Not violent, but the king will not bypass such people who slander indiscriminately. Their ending must be a tragedy that you can't imagine for a kind queen, but they are all self-inflicted." Xiaohan didn't speak any more, he Just watching one after another people come up to offer neck rings to the king.
In the end, facing these people, Jin Lin didn't accept a single neck ring.
Xiaohan didn't know why, maybe because he felt that he was still fresh, maybe because these were the people he had rejected.
This time Jinlin refused, but what about next time? This kind of festival happens every year. If he grows old in the future and loses his looks, if more young and beautiful men and women who have never met before come to Jin Lin to confess their love, will Jin Lin refuse? For Long Li, it is natural for nobles to have more partners. What's more, it's the king of the dragon carp clan.
Xiaohan no longer has the heart to appreciate those beautiful songs and dances. He is now in a deep sense of crisis.
His only hope here is Jinlin. If Jinlin really finds other people by his side in the future, how will he deal with himself? When the time comes, where will the other members of the Dragon Carp Clan put him? Will Jinlin bully him because he is a foreigner? Will Jinlin feel that it is not worthwhile to prepare so many dowry gifts for marrying him, so that he will allow others to hurt him or hurt him personally
Xiaohan didn't say a word until he returned to the palace room.
Jinlin has not come back yet, because after the singing and dancing, the king of the Dragon Carp Clan wants to marry these people who have accomplished good deeds today, and use the final marriage of these people to pray for the safety and success of the Dragon Carp Clan in the coming year. This is a blessing link, and he does not need to participate in this link.
Xiaohan sat on the stool blankly, feeling that his future was full of confusion. It was originally a dark life, but when I thought I had caught a ray of light, the ray of light just disappeared from my hands.
Shinu knows what the queen is worried about, and I can help the queen solve your worries. Xiaohong and Xiaolu will naturally come back. Looking at Xiaohong anxiously, "How to solve it?" "As long as the queen can keep the king's heart, the problem you are worried about will disappear. "
"How to keep his heart? I, I won't."
"If you don't know how, I can teach you where I was sold. I have stayed in that place for so long, how to capture a man's heart and let a man's desire stay in my body, I know very well !" Xiaohong put her hand gently on Xiaohan's shoulder. For slaves, such an action can be regarded as presumptuous, and they must not touch the master without the permission of the master.
However, Xiaohong's touch is full of tenderness and charm, even Xiaohan, who is also a man and even in a passive position, can feel the charm of this simple touch.
After tidying up the bed, Xiaolu turned her head and saw Xiaohong's hand resting on the queen's shoulder. She immediately changed her face and tried to stop her when she came, but Xiaohan sent her outside.
Xiaohan has already decided that he doesn't want to live the hard life before, so if he can hold the golden scales in his hands if he learns how to seduce men from Xiaohong, he is willing!
Jin Lin was sitting beside his bed, and he was the one who called his name just now.
"you're awake."
