"I respectfully send you off to the Dragon King, your consort." Prime Minister Xia bent over and stretched his right hand forward.
"Go and do your business, so that the elders don't have to come out to see you off." Zhao Guang said calmly.
"How dare you, a humble minister, be indifferent?" Prime Minister Xia said while still following.
Just like this, they walked all the way to the main entrance of the Dragon Palace. Prime Minister Xia stopped and said, "The minister will be sent here. The Dragon King and the consort have a good trip!"
"Well, go back." Zhao Guang waved his hand.
Hao Ren faced Prime Minister Xia and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for leading the way today. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye?" Prime Minister Xia was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was the "consort" saying goodbye to him.
Hao Ren's simple words made him burst into tears of gratitude. He looked at Hao Ren blankly and didn't know what to say.
"Follow me," Zhao Guang walked through the city defense formation and walked towards the water in front, "third from the left, first from the front, sixth from the right..."
Hao Ren hurriedly took out the water-proof beads and put them in his mouth, not daring to relax at all, and followed Zhao Guang step by step away.
Prime Minister Xia, who was standing at the gate of the palace, looked at the leaving figure of the consort with tears in his eyes: He is such a good consort with meritorious deeds and caring for his subordinates... I wonder when we will see him again...
In this boundless sea, Zhao Guang seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, but Hao Ren was sweating profusely. He was more nervous than before when he took the English listening test in the college entrance examination. He was afraid that he would mishear Zhao Guang's password, and he was even more afraid that he would step on the road in nervousness.
Wrong pace.
This continued for more than ten minutes, and Hao Ren finally followed Zhao Guang out of the formation. Even with the water-proof beads in his mouth, his clothes were once again wet with water - not sea water, but sweat.
Returning to the ground, Hao Ren spit out the beads, his mouth full of bitterness. The sky was completely dark, only the moonlight on the sea still had some light.
Hao Ren took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that it was already ten o'clock at night. Although it didn't feel like "one day on the ground in the Dragon Palace and one year on earth", he still felt that time passed very quickly.
Zhao Guang went over to start his car. Hao Ren wiped the beads clean and walked over, "Uncle, I'll give you back these beads."
"No, you can keep it for yourself." Zhao Guang started the car and said, "Get in the car. It's too late today. Just go to my house to rest and go to school the next day."
Hao Ren thought that his grandma and parents should have gone to bed at this moment, and there was no need to disturb them now, so he nodded, "Then I'll bother uncle."
"How do you feel?" Zhao Guang asked Hao Ren on the way back on the overnight train.
"It's very different from what I imagined." Hao Ren replied.
"Haha, I will go back to the Dragon Palace once a month to deal with some backlogged matters. I will take you there this time to familiarize you with the environment. Although the Dragon Palace does not live permanently, it is still a very important place for us.
"Zhao Guang said.
Hao Ren nodded in agreement, and suddenly thought of what happened in the icehouse, and said, "When I went to the icehouse with Prime Minister Xia today, I saw a frozen goddess. Uncle, do you know about this?"
"I know that she was a goddess who was knocked down from the upper world two hundred years ago. After all, the originally agreed upon detention time has already passed."
"I asked Prime Minister Xia to release her," Hao Ren said.
To Hao Ren's expectation, Zhao Guang didn't have any special reaction, "She was just a goddess who made mistakes in the first place. It's no big deal. Just let her out. Keeping her locked up in our Dragon Palace is not an option."
Since he is his "son-in-law", Zhao Guang will still give this power to Hao Ren, and of course he will not blame Hao Ren for this matter. Besides, Zhao Guang also knows that Prime Minister Xia is cautious, so this matter will be handled properly.
Hao Ren said "hmm" and felt relieved. He was also worried that Zhao Guang would say that he was good at making decisions.
The car drove smoothly on the highway and returned to Zhao Yanzi's home not long after.
When they arrived home, it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. Zhao Hongyu heard the sound and went downstairs in pajamas to greet them.
"You two came back together? Are you hungry?" Zhao Hongyu asked with concern.
"Not hungry." Hao Ren shook his head. He had eaten two small red fruits and was not hungry yet. However, he walked a lot around the palaces today and was a little tired.
"I'm not hungry either. Let's go to bed early." Zhao Guang took off his coat and said a little tiredly. He was no easier than Hao Ren in dealing with the affairs of the Dragon Palace today.
Only then did Hao Ren realize why the playful Zhao Yanzi had no interest in going to the Dragon Palace. It turned out that there was only so much room in the Dragon Palace, and it was midnight every time she came home, so of course she was not happy.
"You can sleep in Ah Zi's room today. I have some design drafts to work on overtime, so I have occupied the studio in the small attic." Zhao Hongyu, who tied up her hair in a gentle manner, said to Hao Ren.
"Can I sleep in the room where my grandma used to live?" Hao Ren asked.
"Because your grandma won't be living here again in the short term, I sprayed insect repellent in that room today. It still smells bad and cannot be inhabited." Zhao Hongyu smiled and explained gently.
"Then I..." Hao Ren wanted to say more, but Zhao Hongyu blocked his words, dragged his clothes upstairs, and knocked on the door of Zhao Yanzi's room.
"Sleep, sleep!" Zhao Yanzi shouted loudly from inside.
"Stinky girl..." Zhao Hongyu took out the key and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Zhao Yanzi, wearing pink pajamas and her hair tied casually, squatting on a chair and still playing on the computer.
She turned around and saw Hao Ren, and immediately became dissatisfied, "Why are you here again!"
"Ren will sleep in your room today. Stop playing on the computer and go to bed early!" Zhao Hongyu pulled Hao Ren in, opened the closet, took out the bedding, and threw it on the carpet beside Zhao Yanzi's bed.
"Mom!" Seeing Zhao Hongyu arrange Hao Ren into her room without her consent, Zhao Yanzi shouted dissatisfied.
"It's useless to scream. I want to use the studio in the small attic. The room where my aunt lived was sprayed with liquid medicine today. It's too cold in the living room, so I can only stay here." Zhao Hongyu ignored Zhao Yanzi's protest and spread out the quilt.
, and then said to Hao Ren, "Aren, go to bed early."
"Thank you, Auntie." Hao Ren said sincerely.
"If Azi affects your sleep, you can come to me and complain." Zhao Hongyu said, exited the room and closed the door.
"You..." As Zhao Hongyu rushed to the room, Zhao Yanzi jumped up from the chair, "You did it on purpose!"
Hao Ren felt wronged. In fact, he thought that the room where his grandma originally lived could be used for one night, so he followed Zhao Guang here. Who would have expected that the room had been sprayed with potion and could not be lived in.
However, he didn't intend to explain anything to Zhao Yanzi, so he untied his coat and walked to the bathroom.
Seeing how familiar he was, Zhao Yanzi became even more angry, "I won't allow you to stay in my room!"
"Go to bed early. You sleep in in the morning and play games in the middle of the night. What kind of lifestyle is this? You have classes tomorrow!" Hao Ren turned around and lectured.
"Hmph! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Zhao Yanzi angrily picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at Hao Ren.
