In fact, last night Ling Qingwan asked Mingyue to come to Tingxue Villa in advance to inquire about the news.
Guan Peng has been working at Tingxue Villa since its establishment, which is at least fifteen years. It can be said that he is the most important person in Tingxue Villa.
Guan Peng has a daughter who also works at Tingxue Villa. Ling Qingwan did not investigate so carefully, and the relationship between the maid named Yingying and Guan Peng was guessed by Ling Qingwan herself.
After hearing Ling Qingwan's words, Nanny Pu couldn't help but sigh at how meticulous Ling Qingwan's thoughts were.
As expected, after taking care of Guan Peng and Ying Ying, Ling Qing Wan was treated well in every aspect of the villa. She had good food three times a day, and a special maid to help her wash and dress.
This was the first time Qiao'er felt so relaxed because the maids in the villa had taken over all her work.
"I feel like I came to the villa to recuperate with the young lady."
At that time, Qiao'er and Nanny Pu were standing not far away, watching the maid dressing Ling Qingwan.
You know what, it’s really well done.
"Me too." Nanny Park couldn't help but agree.
Ling Qingwan had been here for two days, so the two of them had two days of free time.
"Miss Ling Er, it's cold today. Would you like to take a hot spring bath to warm yourself up?" Yingying said to Ling Qingwan enthusiastically.
"Hot springs?" Ling Qingwan was curious.
She remembered. When she first arrived the day before yesterday, Guan Peng mentioned that there was a natural hot spring next to Tingxue Mountain Villa, which was very suitable for relaxing the body and mind.
"You don't know that the prince built a villa here not only because Jinyun Mountain is like spring all year round, but also because of the hot spring next to the villa. Because it is formed naturally, the mountain spring is clear and warm, which is very helpful for you to recuperate and relax your body and mind." Yingying explained.
Ling Qingwan thought to herself, since she had come to the villa anyway, it would be a shame if she didn't experience the unique hot springs here, so she agreed.
Soon, Yingying helped Ling Qingwan pack up and took her to the hot spring.
The hot spring is not far from the villa, just a few steps away. In a cave, looking out, you can't see anything at all, but when you get closer, you can feel the heat, which is not dry, but very gentle.
"Just go in." Yingying told Ling Qingwan.
Qiao'er and Madam Pu helped Ling Qingwan in. After passing through a small path, a piece of open space suddenly came into view. In the middle of the open space was a hot spring, and water flowed from the spring into the hot spring, making a crisp sound.
"This hot spring water is very clean and drinkable." Yingying said with a hint of pride.
Perhaps she was afraid that Ling Qingwan and the others would not believe it. To prove it, Yingying walked to the spring, clasped her hands together, took a handful of water, and took two sips.
Ling Qingwan was in a good mood, so she followed Yingying.
Sure enough, the hot spring water tastes sweet, as if it has been soaked in candied fruit.
After taking off her clothes, Ling Qingwan went into the hot spring to rest. Nanny Park sent Yingying away, leaving only her and Qiao'er in the cave.
Nanny Park knew that Ling Qingwan didn't like to be disturbed by outsiders. Especially for private matters like taking a hot spring bath, Yingying was not familiar with Ling Qingwan, and it was not convenient for her to stay by her side all the time.
Yingying was not lying, the hot spring water was indeed very comfortable to soak in. Gradually, Ling Qingwan fell asleep.
Madam Pu and Qiao'er understood each other tacitly, and neither of them woke her up, but just stood by and watched silently. When Ling Qingwan woke up, two hours had passed.
"Mammy? Qiao'er?" Ling Qingwan rubbed her temples and called out twice.
"We are here!" the two of them said in unison, trotting in from the cave entrance.
"You're awake!" Qiao'er said with a smile.
"How long have I slept?" Ling Qingwan asked.
The cave was closed, so she couldn't see the sky clearly outside and therefore couldn't tell what time it was.
"About two hours." Qiao'er answered obediently.
"It's time to wake up." Ling Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
She didn't come here to take a hot spring bath, she clearly came here to sleep.
After soaking for a few hours, Ling Qingwan's body had rested enough. When she came out of the cave, she felt refreshed and comfortable.
Ling Qingwan thought that she would let Nanny Pu and Qiao'er take a bath in a few days.
The three of them returned to the villa along the same route. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw six or seven carriages parked inside, and servants were carrying boxes back and forth.
“Wanwan!”
Ling Qingwan was wondering if An Yi had come when An Yi's voice reached her ears.
Before Ling Qingwan could react, the little girl threw herself into her arms.
"You smell so good!" An Yi came closer and sniffed again and again.
"It should be the smell of hot spring water, right? I went to take a hot spring bath in the afternoon." Ling Qingwan replied.
"Is it comfortable? Am I right?" An Yi smiled. She looked up, as if waiting for Ling Qingwan to praise her.
"Yes, it's very comfortable. I fell asleep while soaking in the bath." Ling Qingwan replied with a smile.
"The young lady has slept for more than two hours!" Qiao'er interrupted and agreed.
From her tone, it seemed as if it was a big deal for Ling Qingwan to sleep for two hours.
"Then I'll take a bath with you tomorrow, and we can chat. There's more to this place than just the hot springs. There are many other fun things to do. Let's play one day at a time and play for a few more days." An Yi took Ling Qingwan's hand affectionately.
Sometimes Ling Qingwan feels that she is An Yi’s sister, her biological sister.
Even the princess said that An Yixian had rarely been so close to anyone.
"Come to think of it, didn't you say you would be back in three days? Why are you here today?" Ling Qingwan was a little confused.
Counting from when she came to the villa, three days later should be the day after tomorrow. An Yi couldn't come with her because she had to attend the palace banquet. No matter how noble An Yi was, she couldn't arrange the palace banquet in advance just because she wanted to have fun.
"I slipped away." An Yi didn't care.
"Didn't the prince and princess scold you?" Ling Qingwan's eyes widened in shock.
"They are already used to it. I don't like attending any palace banquets. There are too many rules and it's boring, except that I can eat delicious food. But I'm not interested in food. I just want to play with you." An Yi said, rubbing her little head on Ling Qingwan's shoulder.
The deep sisterly love between the two was truly heartwarming. Qiao'er and Nanny Park, who were watching from behind, smiled with satisfaction at the same time.
"What if they think I've led you astray?" Ling Qingwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ling Qingwan was naturally happy that An Yi came early. She was just joking when she said that.
No one in Tokyo knew that the prince and princess had a daughter in their old age and doted on An Yi. Not to mention such a small matter as not attending the palace banquet, even if An Yi asked for the stars in the sky, the prince and princess would not be sure whether they would pick them and give them to her.
"No, no! My mother also told me that when I came to the villa, I shouldn't just think about playing with you, but also want to learn something from you. My mother likes you very much." An Yi hurriedly explained.
That night, the two of them ate together and strolled around together. When night fell, An Yi was reluctant to leave, so she fell asleep in the same bed with Ling Qingwan.
