The road leading to the back mountain of Hongfu Temple has been guarded by Zhou Ji and other guards from the Princess's Mansion, and they will never let anyone ruin the Princess and her husband's trip.
Despite this, when Chen Jingzong suggested that Huayang take off her long grass-green peony-patterned double-breasted jacket and her complicated light jade-colored long skirt, and wear only a plain chest-length short jacket and a thin white silk trousers underneath, Huayang still refused with a stern face.
Chen Jingzong: "If you don't take it off, it will roll up when you go into the water, and wrinkle your outer dress. If the monks and pilgrims in the temple see it, they will think that you and I did something disrespectful to Buddha in the back mountain."
Huayang: "I didn't want to go in the water anyway, go and have fun by yourself."
Chen Jingzong looked at her arrogant face and thought that his mother always said that he had a hard temper, but compared with her mouth, his bones were soft.
She refused to take it off, so Chen Jingzong quickly took off his outer robe, revealing his strong and muscular back. He bent over, turned his back to Huayang, and rolled up his trouser legs.
Although Chen Jingzong's face and neck are a little tanned, his shoulders and back are as white as jade.
Chen Jingzong suddenly turned around.
Huayang quickly looked away.
Chen Jingzong smiled meaningfully, walked a few steps to the shore, and stepped into the stream.
Huayang then looked over again and found that the stream water only reached his ankles.
Chen Jingzong was fishing in the stream, and after a while, he saw her sitting on a rock, stretching out one sleeve to block the sun, and said, "Use my robe to block it."
Huayang then unfolded the robe he had placed aside and covered his head with it.
Chen Jingzong swam in the water again. When he turned to Huayang, Huayang turned her head away, as if his chest was ugly to her.
Huayang didn't look at him, so naturally he didn't know what he did. He only heard Chen Jingzong suddenly shout "It's raining". Huayang was about to look up at the sky when suddenly a splash of water came over. Except for the part on his head which was blocked by Chen Jingzong's robe, Huayang's jacket and skirt were all wet.
Huayang glared angrily at the man in the stream.
Chen Jingzong, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He walked to a stone in the middle of the stream, sat down with his back to Huayang, and lowered his head to fiddle with the fine sand in the water.
Huayang couldn't do anything like cursing loudly, but she was holding back a fire in her heart. She looked at her wet clothes, then at the quiet surroundings, and made up her mind to take off her gorgeous and expensive but cumbersome dress, and spread it neatly on the smooth and warm stone.
Finally, Huayang took off his shoes and socks, rolled up the legs of his white silk pants, and walked barefoot into the stream.
She walked all the way behind Chen Jingzong, scooped up a handful of water with both hands, and poured it all over Chen Jingzong's broad back that reflected the sunlight.
Because Chen Jingzong was bent over and lowered his head, some of the water droplets rolled down his back to his shoulders and fell into the stream like a small waterfall.
Chen Jingzong kept his head down and looked behind him.
The gurgling stream was like a mirror, reflecting her plain inner garment and her skin as white as snow.
He finally turned around, held Huayang's wet hands, and looked up.
The eldest princess pursed her cherry-colored lips and glared at him angrily with her bright almond-shaped eyes.
Chen Jingzong just smiled: "You clearly want to play in the water, but you insist on acting like a princess, afraid that people will laugh at you and damage your dignity."
Huayang just pretended not to understand.
Chen Jingzong stopped laughing and said seriously, "That's how it should be in front of outsiders. It's just you and me here, what's there to be nervous about?"
Huayang's eyelashes moved slightly and then drooped.
Ever since she could remember, people around her only reminded her to observe etiquette and not to forget that she was a noble princess.
Chen Jingzong lifted her hand and kissed it: "No matter if you behave improperly or dress disheveled, I won't laugh at you. I just want you to do what you like."
Huayang looked above his head.
When my father-in-law and his two elder brothers were on vacation at home, they all liked to tie their hair with jade hairpins. However, Chen Jingzong did not like jade hairpins very much. He usually tied his hair with an ink-colored headband, which was simple and plain, yet full of heroic spirit.
Hua Yang looked around and said coldly: "What if someone comes..."
Chen Jingzong: "I will capture them myself and poke their eyes out."
Huayang: …
She was not that cruel. She glared at him and said, "If someone comes, you must take me away from here immediately. It is best not to let the other party recognize our identities."
Chen Jingzong nodded.
Huayang pointed to the shore and said, "Go to the shore, put on your clothes, pay attention to your surroundings, and don't look at me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jingzong's eyes fell on her.
The short quilt on top was of relatively thick material, but it only reached the chest, revealing a large area of the shoulders and neck.
As for the white silk pants underneath, they were so thin that her long and slender legs were faintly visible.
Before Chen Jingzong had seen enough, Huayang pinched his right ear with one hand and walked him to the shore, then he went to wade in the river section that was shaded by trees.
After all, they were in the wild, and it was rare for her to be willing to indulge herself. Chen Jingzong did not make trouble. He put on his outer robe and diligently kept watch for her.
Huayang has lived two lifetimes, and this is her second time playing in the water outside.
The time in Lingzhou, because it was just behind the town and people might come over at any time, Huayang only dared to show part of her calf. But now here is a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains, and with guards like Zhou Ji in the distance and Chen Jingzong nearby keeping watch for her, Huayang wanted to have a good time while playing.
The sun was getting brighter and brighter, and the stream was getting warmer and warmer.
Huayang walked to the pool of the waterfall.
The water here is deep and there are many huge rocks. Huayang walked to the middle of the rocks and lay on them to look around.
In Chen Jingzong's eyes, she was just like a fairy who had just come down to earth, anxious to wash off the dirt she had picked up on the road, yet afraid of being seen by ordinary people.
Huayang looked around and found that only Chen Jingzong was dishonest.
She reminded him again to be careful of his surroundings, then lowered her head.
After a while, the eldest princess's plain chest-length short jacket and white silk trousers appeared on a stone.
He pulled out all the weeds next to Chen Jingzong.
In the middle of the rocks, Huayang swam back and forth in the water, and then leaned on his back on the smooth stone surface with half of his body exposed to the water, looking at the nearby waterfall and the blue sky in the distance with satisfaction.
The sound of water was loud, but she could not hear any other sound. Occasionally, she looked at the shore through the cracks in the rocks and found that Chen Jingzong was still sitting there. Although he would glance at her quietly, he did not forget the most important thing he should do. Huayang felt relieved.
When she returned to the shore, only some of her hair that had touched the water was still wet.
She stood under the shade of a tree and signaled Chen Jingzong with her eyes to come over and help her change clothes.
Chen Jingzong picked up her jacket and skirt that had already been dried and went around behind the tree.
Huayang closed his eyes and stretched out his arms.
Chen Jingzong first helped her tie her long skirt, and then helped her put on her jacket. The fabric was cool and silky, concealing the eldest princess's fairy-like figure.
Just when Huayang opened her eyes and wanted to check whether her appearance was appropriate, Chen Jingzong suddenly put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin with the other hand, and kissed her eagerly.
Huayang smiled, because he had been honest enough just now, so she was willing to give it to him now.
But she underestimated the stimulation that all that had just happened had on Chen Jingzong. Chen Jingzong's hand gradually moved to her skirt and wanted to help her untie it again.
Huayang slapped his hand away.
Chen Jingzong hugged her instead and breathed heavily in her ear.
He panted for a long, long time, so long that Huayang was worried that he didn't want to endure it any longer, and Chen Jingzong finally let her go.
But Huayang saw that he had not yet completely calmed down.
She walked away for a distance and sat on a rock to look at the water.
Chen Jingzong leaned his back against the tree trunk, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes to rest towards the treetops.
Huayang tilted his head and saw his figure which was straighter than the tree trunk, the curve of his neck which was fully stretched out, and his Adam's apple rolling from time to time.
Huayang silently withdrew his gaze.
Finally, Chen Jingzong came over. His expression had returned to normal, but when he looked at her, there was something suppressed in his eyes.
Huayang: "Going back?"
Chen Jingzong nodded, turned around and showed her his back.
Huayang: "I'll go by myself. The road is dry."
Chen Jingzong squatted there motionless.
Huayang had no choice but to lie down.
How thick can summer clothes be? Not long after Chen Jingzong walked away, Huayang felt that his back was like a hot water bottle that had just been filled with hot water, sending waves of heat to her body.
The strange thing is that it wasn't that hot when I came here in the morning.
Or is it that the sun has become hotter
The two of them didn't speak along the way, only their skin rubbing gently against each other with his footsteps.
Hongfu Temple was in front of them, and Chen Jingzong also saw Zhou Ji's figure quietly disappearing.
He turned around and saw Huayang's blushing face.
Chen Jingzong walked to a nearby tree, put her down, and said, "Take a break. Your current state may easily lead to misunderstandings."
Huayang glanced at him quickly. The military officer was really amazing. Even though he looked so hot, his face was extremely serious.
Chen Jingzong suddenly covered her eyes: "Don't look at me."
Hua Yang was confused: "Why?"
Chen Jingzong: "He's so lustful. I'm afraid I can't control myself."
Huayang: …
How could she possibly look at him with such lustful eyes!
Huayang slapped Chen Jingzong's hand away and walked half a circle around the tree, making sure that not even the corner of his clothes could be seen.
Chen Jingzong smiled and leaned against the tree trunk and said, "I'll take a nap for a while. Tell me when your face doesn't feel hot anymore."
Huayang touched his face and snorted, "It's all from the sun on the road."
Chen Jingzong: "Well, the sun is quite strong right now. We should take an umbrella when we set out."
Huayang: "Never leave the city in the summer again."
Chen Jingzong: "Summer is hot, but summer also has its advantages."
His voice was a little hoarse at this time. Huayang vaguely guessed what he meant by "okay" and did not respond.
Zhou Ji was hiding secretly behind a patch of weeds half a person's height in the distance.
He thought that the princess and her husband would arrive soon, and he could leave with the guards here, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see the two familiar figures.
Did something unexpected happen
Zhou Ji quietly stuck his head out and saw the prince consort leaning against a tree, with the eldest princess' skirt peeking out from behind the tree.
What is this doing
Zhou Ji didn't understand and didn't dare to disturb them without permission.
"alright."
Huayang recited Buddhist scriptures in his mind several times and finally suppressed the strangeness he had felt along the way.
She came out from behind the tree and immediately met Chen Jingzong's gaze.
Huayang quickly dodged, walked past him without looking at him, then raised his chin slightly and walked in front.
Under the blazing sun, the eldest princess walked slowly, looking cold and arrogant, with a graceful demeanor.
Chen Jingzong smiled, quickened his pace and walked in front of her, his tall figure casting a shadow on her face.
