Yi Zhici looked up and couldn't take her eyes off. Lin Yuan was only wearing a single-layered robe, which fit him perfectly. He had broad shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. With his black hair and pink cheeks, he was truly a sight to behold. Yi Zhici thought there was nothing more pleasing to the eye than this scene.
Actually, there were those more exquisitely good - looking than Lin Yuan, like Prince Jing Yi Junshi; those more gentle - looking than him, like Wu Ya, the vice - minister of the Ministry of Rites; and those more delicate - looking than him, like Wei Xing.
Lin Yuan's appearance was rather cold and tough, especially his eyebrows and eyes. When he didn't smile, he was quite imposing, the kind who was born to be on the battlefield, full of heroism.
But at this moment, just like Yan Sijin, without his armor, he had a kind of gentle charm.
Ye Cong'an swam over. "Princess, General Lin is here. Did you see him?"
Yi Zhici just snapped out of her daze. "Huh?"
Ye Cong'an was very nervous and seriously educated her. "Princess, you can't let General Lin attract so many admirers. Do you know how I found out he came in? People around were all talking about him. So many people are interested in him. You've got to act fast."
Yi Zhici was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Cong'an's chattering. "Princess, didn't I give you the Qiulu Bai before? Why didn't it work at all? It seems I'm just not fated to be with the Marquis's heir. But you can't give up!"
A moment later, Ye Cong'an's mouth was covered. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw Yi Zhici looking very serious.
"I've succeeded. Just today, during the hunting." Yi Zhici was very patient. "Cong'an, we may even need to arrange the wedding banquet soon."
Then she quickly dived underwater and swam away to avoid Ye Cong'an's questions. Yi Zhici liked talkative people, but they had to be interesting. She really couldn't stand someone like Ye Cong'an who just kept nagging.
This was the main reason why she was closer to Yan Sijin than to Ye Cong'an.
However, if Lin Yuan was willing to nag to her, Yi Zhici imagined the scene and thought she could accept it. Not only accept it, but also be happy and eager to listen to him.
From the hot spring pool over there came Wei Xing's voice. "Princess, do you want some fruit wine? Drinking fruit wine in the hot spring is the most enjoyable thing." During the card - playing before, Wei Xing saw Yi Zhici leave in a huff. He guessed it was because he had offended her. So now, by offering the fruit wine, he also hoped to make her calm down.
There were two princesses here for the hot spring, Yi Zhici and Princess Qin Yin from the Northwest. Yi Zhici thought that Wei Xing probably wasn't familiar with Qin Yin, so he must be calling her. So she swam to the shore and saw Wei Xing waving at her.
Yi Zhici nodded. "I'll have some. Bring three glasses. Thanks."
The two hot spring pools were not far apart. They could barely reach each other, but it wouldn't look good. Moreover, if she leaned forward, her clothes might expose.
Forget it. It's better to get out of the pool... It's better to be seen through the clothes than to expose herself.
Just as she was about to climb out of the pool, Lin Yuan came over with a tray of fruit wine. Suddenly, there was a chorus of chattering behind her. Yi Zhici could even faintly hear the excited whispers from the people in this hot spring pool.
Lin Yuan squatted down and handed the wine to Yi Zhici, whispering, "Drink less. You'll get drunk." He was very serious and completely unaware of the hot - topic discussion in this pool.
Yi Zhici was both ashamed and annoyed. "Put your clothes on properly."
Lin Yuan was stunned. "I'm dressed properly, Your Highness."
The chattering continued behind them. "His chest is so broad..."
"His shoulders are so wide. It must be so safe to be in his arms..."
"He's really so good - looking..."
Hearing those voices, Yi Zhici's mind was full of dirty thoughts. Lin Yuan was right in front of her. She could clearly see his collarbone, Adam's apple, and... Yi Zhici gently pushed Lin Yuan. "Go back. Don't attract so many admirers here." Her voice was soft and wispy.
Lin Yuan realized what was going on. He lowered his head and said playfully, "Are you jealous?"
Yi Zhici didn't even care about the fruit wine anymore. She quickly dived underwater and swam away.
