Three days later.

Today the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle; the whole palace seems to be celebrating some joyous occasion.

A festive atmosphere permeated the air, particularly in the front hall and the inner palace.

However, it had nothing to do with the Cold Palace. Ever since Guan Zhiyue brought the ox and the donkey here;

The progress of land reclamation was increased by more than five times.

Of the 180 acres of wasteland on the back hill, about 50 acres remain. Judging from this progress...

It should be able to be cleared before the snow falls this winter.

Guan Zhiyue was very satisfied with the result, especially since the palace servants had found some beautiful flowers and such on the back mountain.

Guan Zhiyue raised them all around the corner of the backyard of the Cold Palace.

It is said that Guan Zhiyue's space, which has advanced six levels in a row, has now changed dramatically, which is a big leap for her;

She is still exercising and trying to lose weight, and her daily routine remains the same: eating, sleeping, and exercising to lose weight.

Guan Zhiyue's space has now increased from the original sixteen pieces to twenty-six pieces, in the once empty bamboo house;

It already has basic furniture, such as: bed, table and chairs, wardrobe, and the kitchen also has a stove and a small amount of seasonings;

The entrance to the Lingquan Water Cave has grown to the size of two large bowls.

The most delightful thing is that the black soil has expanded considerably, and the land is now filled with ginseng.

The ginseng inside the bamboo house was still fresh, as if it had just been pulled from the ground.

Guan Zhiyue is currently working hard in the space, bending over, because she is going to pull out these ginsengs again, waiting to grow more next time. This is her secret weapon for getting rich.

Guan Zhiyue sat down wearily by the Spirit Spring Cave, reached for the water cup next to her, and scooped out a cup of Spirit Spring water.

He gulped it down and looked up at the sun, which was somewhat dazzling but not too hot.

Turning her head to look at Xiao Tuantuan sitting next to her, she said, "Do you think if I drink this spiritual spring water directly, will it still produce that kind of black mud like last time?"

Xiao Tuantuan shook her head and said, "No, only when a person drinks this undiluted spiritual spring water for the first time will it have a marrow-cleansing effect."

"You've already undergone marrow cleansing, so naturally this won't happen again."

Guan Zhiyue confidently scooped out several large cups to quench her thirst. She has been maintaining her weight of 182 pounds recently, and she still seems to be struggling a bit. She wonders how long it will take for her thick arms and elephant legs to go away!

"There are far too few seasonings in the kitchen!"

Xiao Tuantuan said with some disdain, "Then you should continue to lose weight. As long as you lose weight and reach the 80 pounds you promised, I guarantee all your wishes will come true."

"Hehe, of course going back is impossible. Your past life's body is probably already half a person tall on your grave."

Upon hearing Xiao Tuantuan's words, Guan Zhiyue felt an urge to slap the bastard away.

Speaking of Little Tuantuan, this little thing has also been upgraded due to the big upgrade of the space, but so far it is still not visible.

Whether it was a boy or a girl, they were still wearing a diaper, their upper body was completely naked, and they were holding a fairy wand that they never let go of.

"Little brat, are you a boy or a girl?"

As Guan Zhiyue spoke, she reached out to grab Xiao Tuantuan, but Xiao Tuantuan was not someone she could catch at this moment. With a leap, she flew away from Guan Zhiyue.

Little Tuan Tuan, flying in mid-air, stuck out its tongue and said, "Hehehe... If you want to know if I'm a boy or a girl, you'd better speed up your weight loss!"

This infuriated Guan Zhiyue. She had been exercising every day for the past few days, but it seemed as if her body had frozen in place, neither increasing nor decreasing, which gave her a real headache.

If you eat too much, you're afraid of rebounding; if you eat less, your weight won't drop. It's making you very anxious.

Guan Zhiyue stood up from the ground, shook her head and stopped playing with Xiao Tuantuan. She then flashed out of the space and continued to read books or something in the room.

Guan Zhiyue had just sat down when Bilian excitedly rushed in from outside, startling Guan Zhiyue.

"Bilian, where are your rules? Why are you acting so recklessly now?"

Guan Zhiyue was afraid that Bilian would barge in without knocking, and what would happen if she were inside the space?

What if I just came out of the space? If I were hit by it, my life would be in danger.

Bilian never expected her mistress to be so furious. She knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for forgiveness.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, this servant knows her mistake."

Guan Zhiyue stood up, walked up to her, looked down at her, and said, "Where did you go wrong?"

Bilian sobbed and said, "I shouldn't have barged in without knocking. I shouldn't have been so careless."

This servant should not forget the etiquette and family traditions of the Guan family.

Guan Zhiyue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you already know, why make mistakes in the first place?"

Upon hearing this, Bilian kowtowed again and said, "This servant heard that Prince Xiaoyao is coming back, so this servant wanted to come and inform Your Highness."

"If the carefree prince returns, will the Empress finally be able to leave this cold palace?"

"How dare you! Who told you that I was leaving this cold palace?"

Guan Zhiyue was furious and wanted to slap this shameless woman. She said with a hint of disappointment, "Get up and I'll give you a good talking to."

In Guan Zhiyue's memory, she only knew that this carefree king existed, but she didn't know exactly who he was.

This led to Guan Zhiyue not knowing the specifics of this carefree prince's relationship with anyone, or what intricate connections he had with anyone else.

Bilian stood up tremblingly from the ground and carefully moved to Guan Zhiyue's side.

Guan Zhiyue gestured for her to sit in front of her and said, "Who told you I was going to leave this cold palace?"

"Huh? Your Majesty, why don't we leave this cold palace? You are the Empress, after all. Do you want to stay in the cold palace for the rest of your life instead of living in the inner palace?"

Guan Zhiyue looked at Bilian and said, "Isn't the Cold Palace good? There's food and drink here, no one to discipline you, and no one to fight over you."

If no one is going to use underhanded tactics on you, do you still think this place is bad?

We've just cleared the land behind the mountain, and I'm not leaving. Don't try anything funny; just focus on doing your job well.

"By the way, who is the Carefree King? I don't remember such a person."

Bilian looked up at Guan Zhiyue with some surprise;

She said, quite puzzled, "Your Majesty, do you really not remember? The Prince of Xiaoyao, the second most handsome man in the capital!"

"The second most handsome guy?"

"Then who is the number one?"

Bilian said excitedly, "Of course it's the Emperor."

Guan Zhiyue couldn't help but swear, "Damn it, didn't you say my older brother was the second most handsome guy?"

"Are many women in the capital eager to marry into our household?"

"How come another carefree king has suddenly appeared?"

Bilian said with a gossipy look, "The Prince of Xiaoyao is our Emperor's own brother, Your Majesty's brother-in-law."

Guan Zhiyue was speechless; she hadn't even met this emperor yet.

Now another brother-in-law has appeared, and he's the second most handsome guy, haha, it's really surreal.

"What's that carefree prince's name?"

Bilian looked at Guan Zhiyue with surprise and said with great suspicion, "Your Highness, I remember you should have met Prince Xiaoyao before, how could you not recognize him?"

Guan Zhiyue quickly laughed it off and said, "Hehe, well? I was sick last month, so I don't remember a lot of things, I don't remember anything."

Bilian said with some doubt: "This carefree prince's name is Li Qishang. He is nineteen years old this year and will be twenty next year."

He has an astonishingly beautiful face, and is said to be both incredibly cute and handsome.

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhiyue said she understood. "He's just a little puppy!"

"Sigh, people's tastes have really changed these days. Everyone loves cute little puppies now!" Guan Zhiyue sighed and muttered to herself.

Bilian didn't understand what Guan Zhiyue was talking about, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is a 'little puppy'? The Prince of Xiaoyao isn't a dog either?"

Guan Zhiyue smiled and said, "He's not a dog, but you really are!"

This completely confused Bilian, who chased after Guan Zhiyue, shouting all the way, "Your Highness, I'm not a dog! How could I be a dog?"
