As the weather grew hotter, Changning discovered many small red bumps on Yinzhen's back in her tent at night. They were densely packed and quite frightening, which startled her.
He hurriedly got up to light the lamp. Changning lifted up his clothes and found that not only his back, but also his legs and stomach were covered with a dense patch of what looked like prickly heat. It was red from being soaked in sweat.
Changning felt very sorry for him, and also complained a little: "Why didn't you say anything? Didn't you notice that Su Peisheng was taking care of you?"
Yinzhen waved his hand: "This happens every summer, it's unsightly, just apply some medicine."
Changning was so anxious that she stamped her feet. She noticed that his clothes were thick and densely woven, which looked dignified and steady, but they were not breathable at all. This caused him to get heat rash!
"That's ridiculous! Why are you wearing such thick clothes in this heat?"
Yinzhen touched his nose guiltily. Usually in the height of summer, he would rest alone in the front courtyard for fear of disturbing Yaoxian, but he didn't expect to be exposed today.
Changning noticed he was still wearing thick-soled shoes, so his feet must have been quite sweaty. She wiped his socks and saw they were indeed soaked. He really had sweaty feet!
Changning quickly turned his legs around, and sure enough, his feet were all white and wrinkled from being soaked in sweat.
Yinzhen weakly explained, "I was busy with things outside and didn't have time to wash up. I just took a shower."
Changning was too lazy to say anything more to him, so she hurriedly instructed Chuixue and Zhuiyu to prepare a bath tub, and poured in the medicinal soup that Baishu had prescribed for the two children some time ago to relieve heat and prevent disease, and let Yinzhen take a medicinal bath.
She never wanted the maids to serve Yinzhen, so after the bath tub was prepared, she told them all to leave and wiped him with a handkerchief herself.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Yinzhen felt much better, and the itching on his body was relieved considerably.
Changning then got aloe vera gel and a decoction of mint and peach leaves, and carefully applied it to the affected area. It felt cool and refreshing, and the redness and itching stopped after applying it.
Yinzhen laughed and said, "It seems I should have told you sooner, so you wouldn't have suffered for so many days."
Changning rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Are you still going out to work? Wear something light and breathable. I'll have the seamstress make you two pieces tomorrow, and a few undershirts too. You can wear them indoors. These shoes won't do either, they're too thick. Make two pairs of slippers."
Seeing the woman's constant chatter, all of which seemed to be for his sake, Yinzhen felt a warmth in his heart. He truly couldn't live without this woman now.
She gave birth to so many lovely children for him, and she devoted herself entirely to him. How could he possibly let her down?
While Yinzhen was still feeling self-satisfied, Changning applied the powder she had used to wipe her two sons' bodies onto Yinzhen, saying as she did so, "You have no idea how fat those two boys are now. When I apply powder to them, I have to peel back the layers of fat on their bellies and apply more powder into the crevices, otherwise they'll definitely look like you now."
Thinking of Hongmin and Hongchen, Yinzhen was even happier: "They are such good boys. They are so heavy when I hold them, which makes me feel at ease. Yaoxian, I really have to thank you for giving me so many good children."
"They'll say thank you, but what about their actual actions?"
Yinzhen smiled helplessly, reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her cheek, and whispered, "I'll put it into practice now."
A gentle breeze blows, and the pomegranate flowers, fiery red and vibrant, sway precariously.
The two fooled around all night, and Yinzhen left home refreshed in the morning.
Changning rubbed her aching lower back, thinking to herself that the man was becoming more and more skilled and his technique was getting better and better.
Thinking of the prickly heat on his body, she had a headache again. She asked Bai Zhu to prepare a lot of medicine, which she would continue to use on him when she returned in the evening.
Changning then summoned the seamstress and selected a lot of light and breathable cotton yarn. She asked her to make two outfits for Yinzhen to wear when he went out, according to his measurements. She also asked her to make a few vests, similar to sports vests, that are, shirts that expose the arms.
She also drew a design for modern slippers, specifying that the toes and heels should be exposed so they could be worn indoors, and the soles should be soft enough.
The nanny was quick and efficient, and with Yuxia's help, she soon made a vest and two pairs of slippers.
That evening, she dressed Yinzhen in such "unrestrained and simple" clothes. It was the first time Yinzhen had ever worn such clothes. Luckily, no one was in the room, otherwise he would never have worn them.
However, this did make it much cooler. If you put a pile of icebergs in the room and drink some plum juice with ice crystals, you would feel a slight chill.
The prickly heat rash on his body disappeared in just a few days.
Changning also had Yuxia make two slip dresses for her. The narrow straps and V-neckline revealed her long and graceful neck, and the slightly cinched waist accentuated her figure, making her silhouette extremely beautiful.
Yinzhen's eyes reddened as he looked at her. She had given birth to five children, yet Yaoxian showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, she seemed even more beautiful.
Just like in those storybooks, a female demon who sucks the life essence of people.
That evening, he became even more vigorous, panting as he asked, "What kind of skincare products are you using?"
Changning was still basking in the rippling water when she heard these words. She was stunned for a moment and before she could react, she was quickly submerged again.
The next morning, Changning suddenly remembered what Yinzhen had said in the tent the night before.
What kind of maintenance do you use?
What's the meaning?
Is Yinzhen failing?
Have I been too vigorous lately?
Is he overwhelmed?
Changning felt this was a very serious problem.
Therefore, when Yinzhen came again that night, the menu had been changed to Eucommia and Codonopsis pigeon soup, spicy stir-fried clams, seahorse and pork rib soup, stir-fried eggs with chives, and Cistanche and mutton stew.
Yinzhen's pupils dilated in shock as he looked at Changning in disbelief. What did this mean?
Changning smiled and said nothing, but personally ladled out a bowl of pigeon soup and handed it to him.
Yinzhen muttered to himself, but still drank it. Could it be that Yaoxian was not satisfied? It seems he would have to put in more effort tonight.
The noise continued all night long.
Su Peisheng, who was on night watch at the door, was wondering if his master was in high spirits. How long had it been since he'd stayed up this late? Look, it was already getting light on the horizon.
Judging from this, Master Chun's belly is probably going to swell up again.
When Changning woke up in the morning, she felt like her body was falling apart, and her voice was hoarse. Seeing that Yinzhen was still lying next to her, she punched his chest with her little fist and said coquettishly, "You don't need any skincare at all! You're so annoying~"
Yinzhen, still savoring the wonderful experience of the previous night, looked satiated and asked in surprise, "What do I need to maintain?"
Didn't you ask me how to take care of my skin the day before yesterday?
Yinzhen chuckled: "Silly girl, I was praising you. Even after having a child, you still act like a young woman who hasn't left home yet."
Changning was on the verge of tears; it was truly a beautiful misunderstanding!
