Changning knew the children had already been scolded for swimming, so she didn't nag them anymore. She simply told them to soak in ginger baths after playing in the water to dispel the cold.
The children all agreed.
Hutuli was also eager to go swimming. She tugged at Changning's sleeve and began to whine, "Mother, Mother, dear Mother, I want to go swimming too. Please let me play with my brothers."
The boys exchanged glances, feeling a little ashamed. They had been playing in the water shirtless, and they were too embarrassed to let their sisters see them.
Changning and Yinzhen naturally considered this point, so they refused her. However, being doting parents, Changning whispered to her, "Why play with those brats? Your mother will take you."
Hutu's eyes lit up: "Really? Mother, you can swim too?"
"Of course, your mother is very capable. Don't worry, your mother will definitely teach you."
With her mother's words, Hutuli felt relieved and ate her food with even greater relish.
Yinzhen, standing to the side, was rather curious. How come he didn't know when Yaoxian learned to swim?
To this, Changning can only say, men, you know too little.
Lin Huiyin once said that she wanted to create a book that a man would spend a lifetime reading and understanding.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's a blank sheet of paper or a thick, difficult book. There always needs to be some surprises to make life more interesting.
The next day, just as the group of boys were happily swimming in the small pond, Hutuli and Yierha also came to find Changning.
Changning naturally wouldn't take them to the pond, as unclean water could be harmful to girls. Instead, they were going to a hot spring not far from the manor.
The hot spring water is clear and not too cold, making it perfect for girls to play in the water.
It's not suitable if you want to swim.
Hutu was a little disappointed. She wanted to swim, but considering that she had never been to a hot spring before, and that she had heard it was warm water and that she could play around in it and eat some snacks while soaking, she agreed.
Yierha was frail, and soaking in hot springs would be good for her health; she had naturally heard of their reputation. However, she had never tried such a novel experience before, and this was her first time. If she hadn't been with her father and mother, she probably wouldn't have had this opportunity.
Yierha glanced at Changning, silently noting it down in his mind. He was once again moved by Chun'e's mother; she was such a kind person, and had been truly devoted to him all these years.
Changning also specially asked Yuxia and several needlework ladies to make three sets of light gauze dresses specifically for soaking in hot springs.
Although there are no current designs for women's swimsuits, she has drawn up a pattern that resembles a tight-fitting halter dress, with a length that only reaches slightly below the upper thigh.
The needlework nanny who had been serving Changning had also made many new designs. This mistress was particularly knowledgeable about clothing, and every summer she would come up with all sorts of novel, light, and breathable styles. So this time, she also made them very quickly.
Moreover, following the instructions of the pure master, the shoulder straps were specially made with lace trim, giving them a particularly playful, girlish feel.
When the three hot spring swimsuits were taken out, the two girls stared wide-eyed. They were so beautiful and the designs were so unique. They had never seen such clothes before.
The two of them touched the swimsuit and kept comparing it to each other, feeling a little shy but also really liking it.
Seeing their appearance, Changning urged them, "Alright, alright, go change quickly. Don't be shy, it's just the three of us."
The two girls exchanged a glance, their faces slightly flushed, and took their clothes to change themselves. They were too embarrassed to ask their maids to help them change.
Changning naturally changed her clothes as well. The dress she was wearing was light pink, with large clusters of blooming roses embroidered on the bottom of the gauze skirt. The neckline was V-neck, showing off her alluring curves. Especially after entering the hot spring, the gauze skirt became wet and wrapped around her figure.
Her translucent skin, glistening with water droplets, truly resembled a lychee, making her incredibly endearing.
Changning is not a narcissistic person, but seeing this beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but admire himself.
Last night, when the dress was just finished being made, she tried it on and was caught in the act by Yinzhen. Instantly, the man's eyes changed, and Changning could see the fire deep in his eyes. Her face also began to burn.
"You look really good in this pink, as delicate as a flower, how can a rose compare?"
Wow! He's here! He's here! He's coming with "Pink You" (a brand of cigarettes).
However, this phrase was originally used to describe Consort Qi, Li, and I never expected that it would be used to describe myself one day.
Changning laughed and teased, "Pink and delicate, how old am I now?"
Yinzhen chuckled, stepped forward and put his arm around the woman's slender waist. The faint fragrance of her after her bath lingered in his nostrils. He said in a hoarse voice, "How can a fairy grow old?"
Smooth talker!
However, the two naturally became entangled, and what followed was the paid content.
Changning changed her clothes and sat in the hot spring pool, then had Chuixue and the others set out fruit tea and snacks.
Since Changning had just finished her postpartum confinement period, she hadn't enjoyed such a leisurely afternoon tea time in a long time, so the food prepared this time was very plentiful.
There were egg tarts, shrimp dumplings, mousse cakes made by Eunuch Ma, cream rolls, and fresh fruits such as lychees, chilled watermelon, and chilled grapes.
As for the fruit tea, it's lime and orange juice with ice, which is sweet and sour, refreshing and appetizing.
Changning felt incredibly comfortable after just one sip.
A little while later, the two little girls also came out.
Yierha was slightly shy and reserved, clutching the hem of her skirt with her small hands, and asked in a low voice, "Mother Chun, am I dressed correctly?"
Changning looked at her. Yierha was wearing a light green dress. She was slender and had fair skin. The color made her look even more graceful. She really looked like a young woman about to get married.
Changning quickly praised, "You look especially beautiful, Yierha, green suits you so well."
Hearing what Chun'e said, Yierha's nervousness dissipated, and he followed Changning's hand into the hot spring pool.
Hutu was still young, and she liked bright colors, so she wore a light red dress with two crickets embroidered on it with light green silk thread, which she liked.
She was jumping around excitedly: "Mommy, this swimsuit is just like the nightgown you gave me. They both have two thin straps. It looks so good on me."
"Wow, this water is so hot." As soon as Hutuli entered the hot spring, she felt the steam rising from it, and soaking in it felt just like being in a bathtub.
She chattered excitedly as she ate the fruit that had been laid out, occasionally talking to her mother and sister.
Changning was enjoying this rare moment when she suddenly realized that although she didn't have many friends or entertainment buddies here, it didn't matter. She would find her own partners and treat her daughter like a best friend.
