At this moment, Kangxi was facing away from Mingxiu, his black hair was loose behind him, and his wheat-colored arm was lazily draped over a stone next to him, on which was placed a pot of wine and a white jade wine cup.
Mingxiu pouted and went over in her nightgown. Stepping into the hot spring water, Mingxiu's breath hitched for a moment, but after a while, she regained her composure and went back into the water.
Mingxiu sighed comfortably inside, then turned her gaze towards Kangxi, who was looking at her with a half-smile.
Mingxiu ignored him, her attention drawn to Kangxi's abs, which were half-submerged in the water. She stared at Kangxi's abs with a lecherous look.
Although this man didn't have eight-pack abs, he looked like he had six. And Mingxiu knew what it felt like; it was hard and smooth to the touch, and it felt incredibly comfortable.
But Kangxi had always forbidden her from touching him too much, so now was a good opportunity. Mingxiu smiled and touched him, then sat down next to Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you wait for me to come together?"
Kangxi stared at Mingxiu, his gaze never leaving her chest, and was speechless.
"It's closer to me from here; if I wait, you'll have to take a long detour."
Mingxiu nodded, talking as she went, her hands starting to wander, following the water droplets as she reached for Kangxi's chest.
Feeling the hard pectoral and abdominal muscles on his chest, Mingxiu laughed happily, constantly causing trouble on his chest.
Kangxi grabbed Mingxiu's mischievous little hand with a hint of helplessness, his tone somewhat stiff: "Do you still want to soak properly? Didn't you get enough last night?" Kangxi whispered the last sentence into Mingxiu's ear.
Mingxiu's face suddenly turned red, and she felt her body temperature soaring. She quickly took her hand away from Kangxi's chest and glared at him in annoyance.
Then I glanced at the servants not far away, but I didn't know when they had all left.
Mingxiu gave Kangxi a meaningful look. Since everyone had already left, she had no more concerns.
But they didn't want to provoke Kangxi at this moment, so they swam in the hot spring water. The hot spring pool was very large. Although there were only the two of them in it, it could easily accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.
So Mingxiu swam around in the water smoothly without any delay, and happily splashed around in the water.
The splashing water occasionally splattered Kangxi's face. Kangxi had initially thought that Mingxiu was up to something since she wasn't bothering him, so he closed his eyes to rest and wait to see what she would do.
As a result, she splashed around in the water, and the splashing water and noise gave Kangxi a headache. When he opened his eyes and saw Mingxiu crawling around like a dog, his headache got even worse.
He said with a hint of helplessness, "You can swim? Who taught you, and what kind of teaching did you give? You're misleading people."
Mingxiu was swimming happily when she suddenly heard Kangxi's voice. She stopped and looked at Kangxi somewhat embarrassedly: "No one called me. I just know how to swim by splashing around in the water."
Mingxiu felt genuinely embarrassed as she spoke. She truly couldn't swim. Back in modern times, when she went to the swimming pool, she simply played in the water. She envied others who swam fast and well, and could even breathe properly, but she was poor back then and couldn't afford to spend money to learn.
So I never learned to swim systematically. I just watched how others swam and then tried to imitate them, but because no one guided me, I didn't know what swimming looked like.
Kangxi was stunned for a moment upon hearing Mingxiu's words, but quickly realized that no one had taught her to swim. After all, she had entered the palace when she was a teenager. Although Manchu girls were not confined to their homes, they were not exactly taught how to swim either.
He beckoned Mingxiu over: "Since you can't swim, just sit here. The water in this hot spring pool isn't suitable for swimming; it's too hot, and you won't be able to swim for long. I'll teach you myself when the opportunity arises."
Mingxiu's eyes lit up: "Really?" Then, looking at Kangxi with a hint of doubt, she asked, "Your Majesty, can you swim?"
Mingxiu's eyes were full of suspicion, which made Kangxi both angry and helpless. He reached out and tapped Mingxiu's forehead with his finger and said irritably, "I am not like you, making excuses when I ask you to learn something. I already learned these things when I was young."
Mingxiu nodded and moved closer to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, who taught you to swim? Your master?"
Kangxi nodded
He studied every day back then, but he also had a few happy years while his father was still alive. His favorite thing to do then was to practice kung fu and swimming with his master.
"Then let's teach Baocheng and the others too. I feel like Baocheng is getting more and more disobedient. He also likes to play in the water. It's good to teach them and let them burn off some energy."
Sigh, kids get harder to manage once they grow up.
Kangxi was still reminiscing when he suddenly heard this and felt somewhat helpless. They wanted to learn how to swim, so why should he teach them?
I learned it from my master a long time ago; it's just that this silly girl doesn't know it.
Mingxiu soaked in the steam for a while and got a little tired, and luckily there was food right next to her.
Mingxiu turned around and walked past Kangxi, preparing to eat something.
Her wet clothes clung to her body, swaying in the water with Mingxiu's movements, revealing her curvaceous figure.
Mingxiu's eyes darkened as she watched Mingxiu walk past her. She immediately reached out and scooped Mingxiu up.
As Mingxiu looked at the pastries in front of her, which she was about to eat, she suddenly felt that she was getting further and further away from the pastries.
Somewhat annoyed, he turned to look at Kangxi: "What's wrong?"
Kangxi pulled Mingxiu into his arms, and Mingxiu's clothes slipped down her shoulders a little due to the big movement.
The fiery red bra strap was revealed. Kangxi narrowed his eyes, gently lifted the bra strap on Mingxiu's shoulder with his fingers, and said in an ambiguous tone, "What is this?"
Mingxiu watched as Kangxi tugged at her shoulder strap, and her face, already flushed from the heat, turned even redder.
Somewhat embarrassed, she said, "What? Clothes? Oh, Your Majesty, I'm hungry and need to go get something to eat. Please let go of me."
Mingxiu wanted to get out of Kangxi's arms, as she was too embarrassed to let him see her underwear.
Mingxiu took this modern underwear directly from the space and put it on, thinking that she could wear it to bathe after Kangxi left.
It wasn't that she didn't want to wear a bellyband, but her breasts had been growing ever since she gave birth, and wearing a bellyband without anything to support them always made her feel heavy and uncomfortable.
It's usually fine, but as soon as I exercise a little...
That wouldn't work, so Mingxiu wore only underwear during this period, and could take it off when she took a bath at night. Kangxi always waited until Mingxiu finished washing up before coming, so he didn't know.
