In the hot summer, even the breeze was scorching hot. Ying Zhao sat on the cool ice mat and looked at his mother eagerly.
Chu Yuening pretended not to see Zizi's eager eyes and continued to eat the fruit bowl spoonful by spoonful.
The drooling little guy finally couldn't help but crawl over and hugged his mother's legs and acted coquettishly.
"Mother, can Zhao Zhao just eat one bite?"
"No, Zhao Zhao will have diarrhea if he eats it."
"No, Zhao Zhao is very strong and never gets sick~"
Ying Zhao patted his chest proudly.
It seems so... Chu Yuening stopped and seemed to be thinking about it.
But when he looked at the white and tender little thing again, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, the baby is still too small."
"There's nothing I can do about it, it's my father who won't allow me to do it~"
I'm sorry, A Zheng, your son is too clingy, so as his father, you have to take the blame.
Thinking of his hard-hearted father, Ying Zhao had no choice but to give up and turned his back to play with his toys in disappointment.
At this time, a familiar greeting came from outside the hall.
"Sister, Zhaozhao, we are here to see you again!"
"Wow, it's so cool in there~"
A Ye and A Hua walked into the hall with cheerful steps, and the heat in their bodies was somewhat dispelled.
"Uncle, aunt!"
"Aye and Ahua, you're here. Come and have some ice bowls. It's hot outside!"
"Yes, we were all very hot in the carriage."
Chu Yuening ordered someone to serve two bowls of ice and place them in front of them.
The colorful fruits and vegetables in the bowl are cut into pieces and neatly placed on the smoothie, with a layer of amber honey drizzled on the surface. The white cold air mixed with the sweet fragrance rushes into the nose.
A Ye couldn't wait to taste this summer delicacy.
It is cool and refreshing when you take a sip. The unique fragrance of the fruit bursts in your mouth while you chew it, with a little sourness. The sweet honey blends perfectly with it, making the flavor even better.
“Mmmmm…Ajie is so delicious!”
After swallowing mouthful after mouthful of the fruit smoothie, A Ye sighed with satisfaction.
Chu Yuening couldn't help laughing as she watched him eat with relish and look of satisfaction on his face.
A Ye probably has the potential to be a food streamer in modern times.
He looked at Ah Hua who seemed quite quiet, and felt puzzled when he found the bowl of ice that had not been moved at all.
"Don't you like ice bowls, Ah Hua?"
"No... Sister, I just, just..."
Hearing her sister's concern, Ah Hua tried to explain anxiously, but she was too embarrassed to speak out the reason, so she stammered and was unable to utter a word.
Ah Hua was so embarrassed that her head lowered lower. Chu Yuening realized that it might be a girl's private matter, so she spoke to Ah Ye in a gentle voice.
"Aye, can you help my sister take Zhaozhao to the side hall to play for a while?"
"sure!"
"Uncle, Zhao Zhao wants to play on the slide~"
The two little boys' eyes lit up instantly, and Zhao Zhao stood up directly, holding his uncle's hand and walking out in small steps.
It’s boring to play alone, it’s more fun to play with my uncle~
After the two left, Chu Yuening waved away the palace servants and asked Ah Hua to sit next to her.
"Can I talk to my sister now?"
"Well, sister, I have my period..."
Only my sister and I were left in the hall. Ah Hua finally calmed down a little, but there was still a blush on her cheeks.
The day before yesterday, when she woke up and saw bright red on the bed, she almost thought she had some terminal illness and was going to die. Fortunately, Aunt Azhu came in time to comfort her.
I told her that this was menstruation, which every woman would experience. I also made her a few menstrual belts and reminded her not to touch cold things in the next few days.
"Ahua, it's normal for women to have their periods every month. There's no need to be too ashamed."
Chu Yuening touched the girl's soft hair and comforted her patiently.
Some girls fail to receive proper guidance during adolescence and easily fall into the misunderstanding of innate fear and excessive shame.
Even in modern times when people are more open-minded, there are still people who think that menstruation and sanitary napkins should not be discussed publicly.
There are even ridiculous and absurd remarks such as "Why not hold it?"
“…But they all said it was filthy and couldn’t be told to anyone…”
When she was a child, Ah Hua discovered that when her mother was "sick" for a few days every month, her father would avoid her with a gloomy look on his face.
It was not until now that Ah Hua suddenly realized.
"Ahua, this is blood that flows from our bodies, how can it be dirty?"
"Also, just like eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating, menstruation is a normal physiological need, so there's no need to worry too much about it."
"Of course, you must keep warm and take care of yourself these days."
Chu Yuening gently gave Ahua scientific knowledge, like a reliable and caring older sister.
But no one knew that when she had her first period, she was also a little girl who was at a loss and panic.
Because I have been caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others.
"Yes, sister, I will."
Chu Yuening's patient guidance dispelled the tension and shame in Ah Hua's heart. Her blush faded away and a smile bloomed on her little face again.
Isn’t Sister really a fairy?
She is so gentle, kind, intelligent and calm, as if nothing can defeat her. Ah Hua also wants to become such a shining person in the future.
"Ahua, are you using a menstrual belt now?"
"Yes, sister, I sewed it with cotton cloth and wood ash."
After being enlightened, Ah Hua has become very calm about the matter of menstruation.
Hearing this, Chu Yue frowned and thought deeply.
Although wood ash is relatively clean, repeated use of sanitary belts can easily breed bacteria and cause gynecological diseases. Ultimately, they are not as safe as disposable sanitary napkins.
The cotton planted this year is sufficient, so sanitary napkins can be developed earlier, bringing good news to women.
