Chapter 136

Because the sun is already scorching outside, Huayang is not in the mood to go anywhere, why not go back to the mansion early, take a rest and wake up, and you can stroll with Chen Jingzong in the spacious and exquisite garden of the princess mansion, so that he can really enjoy the restMu's leisure.

The maids packed their things, and Chen Jingzong sat with her under the magnolia tree in the yard and waited.

Two magnolia trees with lush branches and leaves cast a thick shade on the ground.

Tea and purple-red grapes were placed on the tea table. Because Hua Yang didn't like to eat grape skins, Chen Jingzong was in charge of peeling them for her.

The juicy grape pulp stained his fingertips with some juice.

He handed her the peeled grapes.

Hua Yang raised his round fan to cover half of his face so that the maids would not see him, then lowered his head to accept his "serving".

The surrounding sunlight was bright, which made the long princess's face more white and delicate, but her lips were as red as lip balm.

But Chen Jingzong knew that she was born with such a good color.

"It's still too hot now. When the weather cools down, let's go out on horseback and have more places to play."

Hua Yang: "You ride a horse to and from the guard every day, isn't that enough?"

Chen Jingzong: "I'm used to it, not to mention riding a horse with you, it's not the same thing as riding a horse on an errand."

Hua Yang was noncommittal, seeing that Chen Jingzong was only peeling the grape skins for her, and she didn't eat anything, so she picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chen Jingzong looked at her slender and beautiful fingertips, and ate them together with the skin, and received a disgusted look from her.

Chen Jingzong: "You grew up in a honeypot. I don't know how many people have no chance to eat such a grape in their life. Let alone they will not dislike the thick skin of grapes. Some people can even swallow grape seeds."

Hua Yang: "You are not an ordinary person, even if you lived in Ling Zhou for those years, you still can't afford to eat a plate of grapes."

Chen Jingzong: "But it's the first time for me to eat the grapes fed by the long princess."

Hua Yang glared at him again.

Chaoyun, Chaoyue, and a few young eunuchs kept moving in and out of the small courtyard with their things. The little eunuchs didn't dare to look around, but Zhaoyun and Chaoyue saw the long princess sitting face to face with the son-in-law on both sides of the coffee table.Although the son-in-law always has to be glared at by the long princess several times, there is an intimacy between the two that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words, just like a pair of sparrows on the branch of a magnolia flower, chasing and squabbling for a while, and twirling the two round ones for a while.heads together.

All the boxes and cages brought out were loaded into the car, and Chen Jingzong personally held an umbrella to protect Hua Yang who was wearing a veiled hat and walked down the mountain.

There were guards opening the way in front, and the pilgrims on the road stepped aside one after another, watching the legendary Hua Yang long princess and the son-in-law approaching like a fairy couple with respect and curiosity, and then gradually went away.

Finally at the foot of the mountain, Hua Yang's car had already stopped here, and a guard stood beside him, holding Chen Jingzong's mount in his hand.

Last night, Chen Jingzong tied his mount to the foot of the mountain. Early in the morning, he ordered Zhou Ji to arrange guards to take care of it, so as not to be taken away by passing people.

Hua Yang's eyes passed over the horse, and he got into the car first.

When Chen Jingzong came in, he saw that she had already taken off her veiled hat, revealing a flushed cheek from going down the mountain under the scorching sun.

Chen Jingzong loosened the collar of his coat, sat next to her, and fanned her.

When the carriage moved up, there was a breeze blowing in through the gauze curtain, and Hua Yang felt comfortable.

"How long have you been raising this horse?" Hua Yang asked.

Chen Jingzong thought for a while, and said, "My elder brother gave it to me when I came to Beijing at the age of eighteen."

Hua Yang couldn't help saying: "Brother is really kind to you."

Chen Jingzong: "It's not always the case when you are the eldest brother. If I were the eldest in the family, I would also take care of the brothers below."

Hua Yang: "Forget it, even if you are the eldest brother, you will only bring down the younger brothers."

Chen Jingzong: "Keep talking about horses, and stop talking about my elder brother."

The faint smell of vinegar came out again, Hua Yang didn't bother to stare at him anymore, and turned the topic back to the horse: "You are twenty-five years old, and the horse has been raised for eight years, isn't it getting old?"

Chen Jingzong: "How old is it? It is only thirteen years old, and it is still a mature horse."

Hua Yang knew a little about horses. Usually, a twenty-year-old horse would be considered an old horse, and some wealthy children who were more particular about their horses would retire after sixteen years of age.

With Chen Jingzong's status, he only had this one horse, which was already very frugal. Even though Hua Yang seldom rode a horse, there were three beautiful white horses in the stable.

Chen Jingzong: "Why, you want to give me a horse?"

Hua Yang: "Do you want it?"

Chen Jingzong: "Farewell, the horse you gave is definitely not cheap. If I ride out, the old man will teach me to show off when he sees it."

It is true that Hua Yang respects her father-in-law in her heart, but she really wants to give Chen Jingzong something good, and she doesn't care what her father-in-law says or thinks.

Let's talk about Chen Jingzong's horse outside, which is worth a few dozen taels of silver. After all, no matter how much Chen Bozong liked his younger brother back then, he would not spend hundreds of taels of silver to give him a high-end BMW.Firstly, he might not have so much money in his private house, and secondly, with his father-in-law watching over him, Chen Bozong was so filial and obedient, he didn't dare to spend so much money to provoke strict father's reprimand.

In the past few years, Hua Yang either had no chance to see Chen Jingzong's mount, or he was so focused on important matters that he ignored it.

Now that she saw it, she wanted to buy a better one for Chen Jingzong. It would be worthy of his status as the long princess son-in-law, the horse would run faster, and it would save him time on bumpy roads.

Chen Jingzong said that he didn't want it, so Hua Yang didn't insist anymore, and he didn't care much.

Back at the Eldest Princess' Mansion, Hua Yang went to take a bath first, and then went out to have dinner with Chen Jingzong.

When taking a break, Chen Jingzong lay obediently beside her and said to her, "I asked Wu Run to arrange a boat. It's cool at night, and I want to swim in the lake."

The lake in Eldest Princess’s Residence is quite big enough for the owner to go boating on the lake.

With his back turned to him, Hua Yang hummed dispensably.

But she knew what Chen Jingzong was thinking about. In the morning, he was so suffocated that he had to come up with some new tricks to dissipate the anger all over his body.

As night fell, Chen Jingzong carried Hua Yang to the center of the lake on a cruise ship with a single canopy.

Inside the canopy, the long princess sitting on the couch reading a book was brought in by him, and the lotus bowl and other essential items were also brought in by him in the dark.

The bright moonlight shone on the calm lake, and as the boatman, the son-in-law, put down his oars and entered the tent, the water waves left by the cruise ship along the way gradually returned to calm.

But it didn't take long before a new water wave centered on the pleasure boat, rippling in all directions from time to time.

The cruise ship also seemed to be swept by an invisible storm, shaking violently from side to side.

From beginning to end, only the moonlight is gentle.

Nearly the second watch, Chen Jingzong finally let go of Hua Yang.

Hua Yang moved to the couch with the remaining strength, and lay on his side facing the window.

He pulled up the roller blind, leaving only a thin layer of gauze, and the boat swayed back and forth. At this time, the window here was facing the bright moon in the sky, and there were some dark shadows on the half-circle moon, looking like a pair of longLong rabbit ears.

Hua Yang subconsciously covered his body with the thin quilt next to him.

Chen Jingzong hugged her from behind and smiled in her ear: "Are you really afraid of being seen by Chang'e?"

Hua Yang: "It's just a little cold, besides, Chang'e is not you, so why should you look at me?"

Chen Jingzong thought for a while, grabbed half of the quilt to cover himself: "Then I have to prevent her from peeping at me."

Hua Yang wanted to tell him to shut up again.

Chen Jingzong lay down with her for a while, then put on his trousers, squatted in front of the two copper basins, and cleaned them carefully by the light.

Hua Yang turned around, saw his serious look, and asked curiously, "Haven't you thought it was too troublesome?"

Chen Jingzong glanced at her: "What's the trouble? These are all treasures. I am not an ungrateful person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges."

Hua Yang paused, and said: "I mean, now you and I have no filial piety, don't you ever think about not using this anymore?"

Chen Jingzong: "What do you think?"

Hua Yang told the truth: "I think that after using up the ones my aunt gave, I can almost let nature take its course. I didn't expect you to order another batch."

Originally, the ones given by my aunt could be used up next year, but it was delayed by a year after the death of the emperor, so the existing stocks in the mansion can last until the third year of Yuanyou.

At that time, Hua Yang will be twenty-four years old. If his father-in-law is still well and his younger brother doesn't hate his father-in-law any more, Hua Yang doesn't have to worry about anything.

To her surprise, Chen Jingzong was not in a hurry to have a child, and even found a way by himself.

Facing Chen Jingzong's black eyes reflecting the light, Hua Yang asked doubtfully, "Big brother and third brother have both children, are you really not envious?"

Chen Jingzong: "I'm envious, but don't worry. Although you and I have been married for more than four years, two of them were in Ling Zhou for one year to mourn for the late emperor. The days when we two lived happily together were only one and a half years.Half a mile, I leave early and return late most days, so I don't have much time to accompany you. I don't even have enough time to accompany you, so how can I have the mood to raise a child. "

Hua Yang doesn't understand very well, they rarely get along during the day, but they are often intimate at night, seeing each other almost every night, how little does he think?

A blush remained on her face, but her eyes were bright and clear, and her confusion was clearly revealed.

Chen Jingzong smiled, first cleaned the things in his hands, checked for leaks one last time, and hung them on the shelf next to them.

Washing his hands again, Chen Jingzong wet a towel, sat on the side of the couch, and waited for his ancestor to wipe his sweat.

Hua Yang stretched his body, only closing his eyes.

The long princess is dignified and self-confident, sometimes she is reserved, like at the moment when she is lazy and can only ask him to serve her, she is generous and calm.

The watery moonlight shines through the screen window and falls on the beautiful and flawless body of the long princess.

Chen Jingzong lowered his eyes, and while wiping her, he asked: "What do you think, what is a husband and wife?"

Hua Yang's fingertips imperceptibly grasped the silk pavement on the couch, and said: "A man and a woman, when they get married, they become husband and wife."

Chen Jingzong: "Marriage is just a ceremony, just to make two people put on the name of husband and wife, but once something happens, the couple in name can easily part ways."

Hua Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Are you still worried that I will divorce you?"

He often said such things, Hua Yang only thought that he had nothing to stop.

Chen Jingzong said meaningfully: "Success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He."

Hua Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chen Jingzong: "I can marry you because of the old man. When the old man fails, what will happen to you and me?"

Hua Yang's heart tightened suddenly, almost thinking that Chen Jingzong knew something!

It was Chen Jingzong's expression that was too calm, and it was his just-right strength that made Hua Yang understand. He couldn't possibly know, but if he could have predicted what would happen to his father-in-law and the Chen family in his previous life, he would never have treated her like this.

"Okay, why do you say such unlucky words." Hua Yang was slightly annoyed, "Even if you are your father's own son, you shouldn't always curse him with words."

Chen Jingzong: "I didn't curse him, it's because what he's doing now offends people too much, there are too many people who oppose him, maybe one day he will be brought down."

Hua Yang was silent.

She seems to have never seriously discussed the situation in the court with Chen Jingzong.

She was just about to say some consoling words that even she wasn't sure about, such as her mother and younger brother would always support her father-in-law, Chen Jingzong said first: "You don't want me to die, but if that day comes, the old man loses his official position and I will be a successor."If I become the son of the common people, or if the old man offends me and become the son of the criminal minister, what will you do?"

Hua Yang didn't think about this problem.

Because this life hasn't happened yet, and in the previous life, although what he said came true, he was gone long ago. Chen Jiafa is assigned to the frontier, and she is still a noble long princess.

Chen Jingzong touched her face: "I don't want to tie you up with the child."
