After being marked by a merman

The moment Zhonglihe walked out the door today, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. The guards in sight seemed to be more vigilant and serious than usual, which made the atmosphere of the whole palace seem like the calm before the storm.

In such an atmosphere, Zhonglihe even lowered his voice a lot. On the way to the kitchen, he happened to bump into Yali.

Yali's expression was exactly the same as those of the guards, and seeing Zhonglihe was not as gentle as before.

Because he didn't know what happened, Zhonglihe still stepped forward to ask, Yali stared at him and said, "Diss has appeared."

"Who?" Zhonglihe felt a little strange, it was the first time he heard this name, could it be some important person?

Yali's expression was a bit complicated. Although Zhonglihe sometimes acted like a country bumpkin, it was too backward. They lived close to the sea. Even though each continent was far apart, the creatures in the sea would spread the news.

"He is the strongest mermaid in the Western Continent, and he has been coveting the throne for a long time." After saying this, Yali said that Diss had come here and was going to participate in the battle for the throne in the near future.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have other things to do, so he left in a hurry.

Zhonglihe knew that the royal family here is not a complete hereditary system, it has always been home to the strong, and every shark king has experienced various challenges before ascending to the throne.

No wonder they are all so nervous. Diss from the Western Continent is probably a strong opponent.

Zhonglihe thought about this, and was a little worried about Sheng Lan. To be honest, he didn't want Sheng Lan to get hurt, because he had already suffered too much for himself.

He stopped going to the kitchen, and turned towards Shenglan's house.

At this time, Shenglan was welcoming his opponent Diss, because his father was in retreat, so this kind of thing was naturally handed over to him and Liu Ji.

Diss is very strong and tall, with lush hair, always frowning, looking a bit fierce, with short green hair like grass, and a long sword inlaid with gems on his waist.

He was right in front of a group of guards, very conspicuous and impossible to ignore, but the magnet next to him was even more difficult to ignore.

His hair was the same color as Diss, but it was long hair, and his figure was much smaller than Diss, making him look a little petite.

The appearance is even more astonishing, causing some male guards of the palace to look at it unconsciously.

The temperament is also very rare. It makes people feel noble without being arrogant. Anyone who looks at her soft eyes wants to protect this little female.

Wearing gorgeous clothes and also wearing a sword, Sheng Lan walked up to Diss.

The two opponents looked at each other, even their eyes were full of sword light.

But this tense look at each other was broken after the little female next to Diss called "brother".

Diss' eyes softened slightly, he saluted Sheng Lan and called "Your Highness the Prince".

Sheng Lan nodded, and looked to the side, the little female was looking at Sheng Lan with admiration.

As His Royal Highness, he was no stranger to this kind of sight, so he didn't react much.

"This is my brother Dino," said Dees.

"Welcome." After Shenglan said this, he invited them into the palace. Seeing Shenglan's attitude, Dino felt a little disappointed.

He is obviously very popular among males, why didn't His Royal Highness express much?

However, Dino was not discouraged by Shenglan's negligence. He came with his brother this time because of Shenglan.

When they were young, they met once. At that time, they were obviously in love, but Sheng Lan already looked like a serious adult. He was extremely handsome and was the focus of all females.

Now that Dino is finally an adult, he can't wait to come to Sheng Lan with Diss. With his current status, Sheng Lan should not refuse.

Dino looked at Shenglan's back and thought about it. A group of people walked into the palace, Liu Ji was waiting in holy clothes, and when he saw Diss and the others, he showed a perfect smile.

"Welcome to come." Lucy said.

At the same time, Zhonglihe found out that Shenglan was welcoming a guest, and the guest was Diss and his younger brother.

"You can wait in Your Highness's room." A male waiter suggested, Zhonglihe nodded in response, and at this time Xi Baique came to find him.

"The queen asked you to go to the kitchen to prepare the food for the dinner, and deliver it in person when the time comes." Xi Bai said.

Zhonglihe was a little strange, he said, "I am Shenglan's chef."

He came to the palace to cook food for Sheng Lan, not for other people, which was not within his scope of work.

Xibo seemed to have guessed that he would say this a long time ago, so his expression was very calm.

"The queen said that all the cooks in the palace are palace chefs, there is no distinction between exclusive and non-exclusive." Xi Bai finished speaking and looked at Zhonglihe.

Zhonglihe was not very happy, he didn't understand why the queen insisted on him doing it, isn't there not enough cooks in the kitchen?

However, his current official status is indeed just a cook, and there is no way to refuse the queen's request.

"Okay." Zhonglihe compromised.

Because there were a lot of dishes required for the banquet, Zhonglihe was sweating profusely and looked a bit embarrassed.

When it was time to serve the dishes, he and other chefs pushed the cart to the palace where the guests were received.

What was being discussed inside, the queen's expression seemed to be very happy. As for Shenglan and Diss, one of them didn't have much expression, and the other couldn't see the expression, and they seemed a little cold.

While the lively Dino was talking to the queen, he still glanced at Sheng Lan.

A shrewd female like Liu Ji couldn't see what Dino was thinking, her eyes moved, and she had a plan.

When Zhonglihe came in, Shenglan finally raised his eyes, frowned slightly, and then glanced at Liuji.

Of course Liu Ji knew that he was unhappy, but she didn't have any other expressions other than a smile.

"Let me introduce to you, this cook is new to the palace, Shenglan likes the dishes he cooks very much." After Liu Ji finished speaking with a smile, everyone's eyes turned to Zhonglihe.

This made Zhonglihe a little uncomfortable, he put the dish on the table, but Diess tasted it honestly and said, "It's pretty good."

Shenglan's complexion turned dark, why did his cook cook food for other males?

Zhonglihe felt Shenglan's low pressure and lowered his head, not daring to look at Shenglan.

As for Dino, the first time he saw Zhonglihe, he felt that this female was too inconspicuous, so he didn't take it seriously.

When Liu Ji said that Sheng Lan liked to eat his food, Dino's eyes returned to Zhong Lihe again.

"Queen, can he teach me? I want to be my future husband." When Dino said this, his eyes drifted past Sheng Lan.

Zhonglihe happened to see this scene, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Ji agreed with a smile, Sheng Lan's complexion darkened again, and Zhong Lihe took a step forward.

"Queen, my cooking skills are not very good, please let someone else teach this young master." Zhong Lihe said.

Liu Ji sneered in her heart, looked at him and said: "As the cook of the royal palace, your role is not just as simple as cooking, you can't be a man with high eyes and low hands, understand?"

Her words implied sarcasm, Zhonglihe clenched his fists, glanced at Shenglan, turned and walked out.
