After the full moon banquet, Changning had finished the blueprints that she had given to Su Peisheng.
Qingzhi Courtyard was instantly transformed into a playground, complete with slides, seesaws, swings, rocking horses, and a basketball hoop.
The children were ecstatic, and Yinzhen was also very interested.
"Mommy, Mommy! You're so kind! How do you play all of this?"
Fei Yang'a was the most excited and grabbed Chang Ning's hand, heading towards the slide.
Changning personally demonstrated for them, climbing the stairs from the back and then sliding down the passageway. The long-lost thrill instantly transported her back to the modern era.
Seeing their mother having so much fun, the three children all rushed to climb up and then slide down.
"Ahhh! This is so much fun! I want to keep playing!" Fei Yanga grabbed his brother's hand again and they went to play on the slide together.
Hutuli was very interested in the seesaw: "Mother, do we sit on this?"
Changning nodded, letting Hutuli sit on one side while she sat on the other. Her weight immediately caused the seesaw to tilt towards her, while Hutuli's side tilted up, startling her and making her scream. Changning laughed heartily.
Yinzhen smiled as he watched the children, big and small, making a ruckus in the courtyard. Yaoxian truly doted on her children; she had come up with so many novel toys.
It's good to let them run and jump around. They've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, and if we keep them confined, they might get bored.
Ever since Changning prepared so many toys in the yard, Hutuli and her two younger brothers have been coming here almost every day. Even Yierha came over shyly, saying that Hutuli had asked her to play on the seesaw.
Feng Sheng'e also brought his four Haha Beads to play on the slide, along with several of his cousins and other cousins from various households, making a group of more than a dozen boys. Chang Ning then taught them how to play basketball.
Seeing that they liked it, and fearing that it would disturb Changning, Yinzhen installed a basketball hoop in the training ground in the front yard, and would take them to play basketball when he had nothing to do.
Basketball suddenly became a sensation throughout the capital.
Qingzhiyuan became a paradise in the hearts of the young princes and princesses of various families.
Summer is here in the blink of an eye.
When the weather is hot, Changning likes to stay under the grape trellis to escape the heat. She puts her two young sons in the newly made stroller so they can enjoy the breeze under the grape trellis and listen to their mother sing to them.
Changning herself doesn't have much artistic talent, but she really enjoys singing, especially Phoenix Legend. She feels much better when she sings them.
She felt that it was hard to lose weight after having a child, so she hummed a song while doing jumping jacks, high knees, and other exercises, trying to lose weight.
"The cliffs face each other across the Luohe River, and buckwheat flowers bloom in Weining Caohai."
Changning started stretching his arms and legs.
"Who hung the moon in the sky, so that the words I want to say flow into the sea, flow into the sea."
Changning sang as she squatted down.
Hongmin and Hongchen rolled their eyes, unable to understand what their mother was doing.
"Crossing the towering mountains and the boundless ocean."
Changning started lifting her leg and putting her hands on her hips again.
After performing these movements, she was only slightly out of breath. It seems the divine music really works.
"Master, why don't you take a break?" Bai Shu couldn't stand it anymore. Although the master wasn't fat at all, there were other ways to lose weight. She didn't understand why the master insisted on singing this strange song and making these strange movements.
"Don't talk, the climax is coming." Changning ignored her, the chorus was almost here!
"The Wumeng Mountains stretch beyond mountains! Moonlight spills over Xiangshui Beach! Can anyone tell me? Heaven is calling out to you!"
Changning shouted a few times and finally felt better. With the rhythmic movement, she swung her arms and felt energetic again.
Zhuiyu clapped and cheered from the side: "Master is amazing! The singing is so beautiful! The dancing is so graceful!"
Um, this isn't a dance... but it's definitely a popular square dance anthem. Maybe we should just start square dancing instead.
Changning had a new idea: she had Zhuiyu, Chuixue, Shiliu, Putao, and others follow behind her, and she provided the voiceovers. Then she led a whole courtyard of girls in a square dance.
The essence of square dancing lies not in its beauty, but in dancing happily, in unison, and with spirit.
Having grasped this key point, all the maids in the courtyard followed Changning and began chanting: "Wu! Meng! Shan! Lian! Shan! Wai! Shan!"
Seeing everyone singing with such high spirits and increasing momentum, Changning also became more and more enthusiastic.
When asked what it's like to have a group of qualified square dancing partners, Changning said it's definitely quite enjoyable.
Everyone felt that their master was indeed their master; even his singing and dancing were so extraordinary. He even managed to bring them along. Come to think of it, could they be considered dancers now?
The key question is, who would dare to spoil the masters' fun? Seeing Changning's enthusiastic appearance, every maid was determined to perform well and dance well, and none of them were embarrassed to refuse.
Just kidding, what if the master thinks they dance well and takes a liking to them!
Even Zhao Fuhai and Xiao Kangzi joined in and danced a few times, making Changning laugh uncontrollably.
When Yinzhen arrived, he was almost speechless with astonishment. Yaoxian really knows how to do plastic surgery!
"What kind of dance is this? It has no beauty at all." Yinzhen blurted out his thoughts without thinking.
Changning rolled her eyes at him: "What do you mean it's not aesthetically pleasing? You just don't know how to appreciate it. This is square dancing, it's meant to exercise and have fun. Do you want to join us?"
Yinzhen quickly shook his head; he didn't want to lose face. So he hurried a few steps forward, picked up Hongmin, and looked at his rosy cheeks, feeling happy: "Alright, alright, as long as you're having fun. It's hot outside, don't get heatstroke. Are you tired? Shall we have someone bring you a bowl of plum juice?"
Changning wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was indeed a little tired from exercising, so she nodded and told the maids to go down and have a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off. She then carried Hongchen and Yinzhen into the house.
"I'll go wash up first." Having just jumped around and was covered in sweat, Changning handed her son to Yinzhen and went to wash up herself.
When he came out after tidying up, he saw that his two sons had been soothed to sleep. He couldn't help but exclaim, "You're getting better and better at soothing the kids. What a wonderful father!"
That's not a lie.
Yinzhen doted on all the children in the mansion. He personally wrote the calligraphy they practiced, and he personally selected the horses they rode. Not to mention, he took care of their daily lives.
With a loving father's heart, Yinzhen said, "Of course I hope all the children are well."
