Is Chen Mianmian thinking of the Crown Prince?
No! She didn't mean any harm!
She didn't care whether Fengchu had a good appetite, was in good health, or how much he ate; she just wanted to drive Fengchu away.
Fengchu has been clinging to her for three days now...
She was also forced to act for three days. Who could endure such high-intensity work without sleep?
However, she cannot directly drive Fengchu away. After all, if the two quarrel, the lady will dislike her and be disappointed in Fengchu, and then value Jiang Yinjin, eventually leading to the main storyline.
Her goal is to control the female lead's power struggles within the household, making her skip the power struggles and go straight to the romance.
To put it more bluntly: prevent the lady from overly valuing Jiang Yinjin and from being swayed by Jiang Yinjin to get closer to Prince Jin.
She believed that once Jiang Yinjin realized that the Madam was difficult to win over, she would have no choice but to abandon this approach and directly seduce the Regent.
As long as the female protagonist abandons the Marquis of Anning's mansion and seduces the Regent, the Marquis of Anning's mansion will be safe, and she will be safe too.
After much thought, the only solution was to address Fengchu's weaknesses, such as his lack of appetite.
I remember the first time the two of them ate together, Shen Mianmian was completely stunned.
Because if we take Fengchu's height in modern times, he would be at least 1.75 or 1.76 meters tall, which is not short. However, his appetite is ridiculously small; he practically counts the grains of rice while eating.
She then had a sudden inspiration—why not bully him under the guise of "doing it for your own good"?
So she set a rule that everyone had to eat two bowls of rice at every meal, or she wouldn't let anyone stay.
Poor Fengchu, in order to stay in Mingyue Courtyard, had no choice but to force himself to eat rice, and dared not even eat vegetables, for fear that if he ate too much vegetables, he would not be able to eat rice.
After swallowing two bowls of food the first time, I felt utterly hopeless. I straightened up, leaned back in my chair, and my stomach was bulging from being so full.
Looking at the chubby belly of the thin Fengchu, Chen Mianmian was very satisfied, thinking that Fengchu would definitely give up on the next meal.
Who knew that at the next meal, Fengchu was so full that his eyes rolled back, yet he still tried to show off. Chen Mianmian was even worried that she would eat Fengchu to death.
To prevent any fatalities, after finishing her meal, she could only take Fengchu for a walk.
It's the second day now.
Sleeping soundly, I secretly prayed that the phoenix chick would give up.
There weren't many dishes on the table—four dishes and a soup—but they looked excellent, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
Looking at the young man with his brows furrowed, Chen Mianmian smiled smugly, "Young Master, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good."
Then she patiently persuaded him, "Actually, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. We can be flexible. Otherwise, if the young master can't eat, he can go back to Qingfeng Courtyard to rest for a few days. When he feels he can eat again, he can come to me again?"
After Fengchu left, she was able to rest.
It's unbearable. Even real couples can't stand being together 24/7, let alone a fake couple like her.
Bai Qingzhou frowned. "Wait, let me think about it."
He then fell into deep thought.
He looked down at the white porcelain rice bowl in front of him and the glistening rice inside, pondering: It was difficult, but not unacceptable, to force himself to eat two bowls of rice for the first time.
But the second time was difficult; the third time was even more difficult.
He thought he could gradually adapt to the new amount of food, but things didn't go as planned. What went wrong?
Suddenly, he realized the reason—the interval between meals was too short, and with little exercise, the food was difficult to digest.
The Bai family's ancestors were meritorious military generals who made outstanding contributions to the founding of the Southern Chu Kingdom, which is why they were granted noble titles.
Although he was physically weak, he was born into a military family and knew the relationship between martial arts skills, physical activity, appetite, and strength.
He also...studied martial arts...
Thinking of learning martial arts, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but recall his dark childhood memories, and his heart ached. He quickly stuffed the memories back into his heart and stopped mentioning them, just to make himself feel better.
Bai Qingzhou looked up. "I understand. Let's eat."
"???" Chen Mianmian was bewildered. "What do you know?"
I'll tell you in a bit.
Shen Mianmian never imagined that one day she would be kept in suspense, especially by Fengchu.
Half an hour later,
Bai Qingzhou finally forced down the two bowls of rice, albeit painfully.
Looking at the boy's pale face, Chen Mianmian asked anxiously, "Are you... alright? Should we have someone make some plum juice to help with digestion?"
The boy waved his hand in anguish.
"Get some tea? Tea can help with digestion." Chen Mianmian said.
The boy continued to wave his hand.
Upon hearing Aunt Chen's words, Guan Shui hurriedly poured a cup of tea, saying, "Young Master, please have some."
Bai Qingzhou accepted the tea and drank it, but he couldn't swallow the water. Finally, he rinsed his mouth with the tea and spat it out.
"Change into something lighter," Bai Qingzhou said. "I'll take you somewhere."
"Huh? Oh."
After a short while, the two, having changed their clothes, left Mingyue Courtyard.
Bai Qingzhou and Shen Mianmian walked in front, while their respective servants, Guanshui and Hanrong, followed behind.
Bai Qingzhou walked very fast, and even Chen Mianmian felt the pressure. "Where are you taking me?"
He thought to himself, "I can tell this guy has eaten his fill; he even has energy to walk now."
Bai Qingzhou: "You'll know when we get there."
"……All right."
And so, the two walked through the long corridor and the passageway to a corner in the northwest of the Marquis's residence.
Shen Mianmian's eyes lit up when she saw it. "A training ground? You have one at home?"
“Yes, if this were another mansion, a garden should have been built here. But as you know, the Marquis’s mansion doesn’t have that many people. Building a garden would require gardeners to maintain it, so Father simply built a training ground.”
Seeing the woman's excited expression, Bai Qingzhou knew she would like it.
After the woman "couldn't keep up the act" and "revealed her true feelings," he discovered that although she appeared delicate and beautiful, she was actually very lively and active.
Moreover, the two stayed together for three days, and she kept reminding him to go to bed early and get up early, maintain a regular schedule, eat a rich diet, and exercise reasonably, so he guessed that she would definitely like this martial arts training ground.
In fact, Bai Qingzhou had misunderstood.
Before Chen Mianmian transmigrated into the book, she wasn't exactly lazy, but she was certainly not diligent either.
The reason I'm so self-disciplined now is entirely because I'm cowardly and afraid of dying. After all, there was no modern medicine or antibiotics in ancient times, so it all came down to physical constitution.
She didn't know if she would be able to wear her clothes after she died.
If I can't get out of this world and just die inside this lousy novel, wouldn't that be terrible?
Therefore, the female protagonist will not die easily until she finishes the storyline and is unsure whether she can travel out of the world.
Thinking of this, Chen Mianmian happily flexed her wrists and ankles. "No wonder you told me to change into lighter clothes. Thank you! I really like them. I'll come here for a run every time it's not cloudy or rainy."
Seeing the smile in the woman's beautiful eyes, Bai Qingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I'm glad you like it."
He could see the growing impatience in the woman's eyes over the past three days.
He knew everything, yet he shamelessly refused to leave.
Chen Mianmian waved happily, "Then, Your Highness, you go ahead with your work, I'll run a couple of laps first."
After saying that, he took off running.
Bai Qingzhou watched the woman's figure run further and further away, his heart clenching tighter and tighter, as if the woman would leave him forever.
He pursed his lips, then followed.
This terrified Guan Shui. "Your Highness, wait... Your Highness, don't run... You're not well!"
.
Soon, news that the heir had brought Consort Shen to the Marquis's training ground reached the main courtyard.
Ding was taken aback. "What? Qingzhou has started training?"
Granny Li nodded excitedly, "Yes! That's what the servants are saying. That's wonderful! The young master is finally willing to continue training, and his health will definitely get better and better in the future."
At that moment, several stewardesses arrived, preparing to report the situation in the mansion to Madam Ding. However, Madam Ding said to them, "You all go back first, I'll come find you later. I'm going out for a bit."
Where is the Ding family going?
He then went to the training ground to see the young master.
