Time flies, and today marks the tenth day since Guan Zhiyue transmigrated.
For the past ten days, she has been exercising every single day, yet her weight remains the same. The main problem is that Guan Zhiyue has no idea just how heavy she is.
"Bilian, go find the eunuch in charge of the harem and get me a scale."
Bilian looked at Guan Zhiyue with some curiosity and asked with some confusion, "Your Highness, what do we need a scale for?"
Guan Zhiyue rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, it's to see how much I weigh now!"
"Your Majesty, we've borrowed a scale, but we still can't weigh ourselves!"
Why can't I weigh myself?
Bilian said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Because Your Majesty, you are too heavy, Bilian can't lift the scale!"
"What? Speak louder."
"Because of the weight, several eunuchs are needed to lift the Empress."
Upon hearing Bilian's words, Guan Zhiyue felt as if she were about to vomit blood and needed several eunuchs to lift her up.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have it weighed again?"
Guan Zhiyue hadn't recovered from what had just been said, her eyes staring blankly in the direction of the door.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty...."
"Hmm! What's the difference between this and weighing a pig?"
Bilian scratched her head blankly and said, "There's no difference."
"Pfft..." Another critical hit!
He struck Guan Zhiyue in the chest and made her vomit blood; he's just like a pig.
"Not for now. What was my weight before?"
Bilian glanced at Guan Zhiyue, then lowered her head again, looking as if she didn't dare to speak.
"Just say it directly, I can still handle it."
"Two hundred and thirty jin."
Guan Zhiyue jumped up from the rattan chair, looking at Bilian who was looking down with disbelief.
"Two hundred and thirty jin!"
"Wasn't it supposed to be 200 jin? How did it become 230 jin?"
Bilian said tremblingly, "Your Highness, before you got married you said you would never be able to eat the Guan family's delicacies again, so you ate and drank to your heart's content for a few more days, and then you became 230 jin."
Guan Zhiyue raised her hand and pounded her chest; this was going to kill her!
"A slightly lighter fat pig weighs only a little over 100 jin; a slightly lighter tiger weighs only 200 jin; a young bear weighs only a little over 200 jin, but I weigh 230 jin."
"Cough cough...This is heavier than an animal!" Guan Zhiyue looked down and couldn't even see her toes. Feeling somewhat defeated, she slumped back into the rocking chair she had just been sitting on, muttering to herself with a look of utter despair.
Looking at the dejected Guan Zhiyue, Bilian cautiously said, "Your Highness, how about I go find the imperial physician and ask him to prescribe some medicine?"
Guan Zhiyue now feels extremely resistant to the mention of medicine. The original owner's body was ruined by taking medicine, and if she had to take more medicine, wouldn't she gain another ten pounds?
"No need, Your Majesty wants to lose weight healthily."
"Your Majesty, what is healthy weight loss?" Bilian looked at Guan Zhiyue, who was lying in a rocking chair and swaying leisurely, with some confusion.
"Healthy weight loss means losing weight without taking medicine, injections, or dieting, but by eating three normal meals a day and exercising appropriately. That's what healthy weight loss is all about."
Guan Zhiyue's explanation was worse than no explanation at all; it only confused Bi Lian more, whose bewildered expression made Guan Zhiyue want to slap her forehead!
"Hey, Bilian, don't worry about this anymore. Go find the eunuch in charge of the Cold Palace and tell him that from now on, all the food in the Cold Palace will be boiled with plain water!"
Upon hearing this, Bilian objected angrily, saying, "No, Your Majesty, our meals are already poor, with very little oil."
"Now they're telling them not to add any oil or fat, that you'll ruin your health if you eat like this," Bilian disagreed.
Guan Zhiyue explained to Bilian with a bit of a headache, and it took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to finally get Bilian to agree to let her go to the eunuch in the Cold Palace.
"Phew! Let's get back to training!"
Guan Zhiyue stood up from the rocking chair and walked into the yard, remembering the Liu Genghong girl who was very popular during that time in her previous life.
Based on his memory of the movements, he started dancing with a chuckle.
"The fat around my waist is falling off! I want a V-line and abs."
"I want to lose weight, I want to be thin, I want to become a heartthrob..."
"Go, Rosamund Kwan! Go, Rosamund Kwan!"
Guan Zhiyue shouted slogans to herself as she danced, and soon she was drenched in sweat.
However, people who are too fat tend to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. They feel like they're going to collapse after just a little exercise.
Guan Zhiyue is now persevering through sheer willpower.
When Bilian returned, she saw Guan Zhiyue still in the courtyard, jumping so loudly it shook the earth. Bilian felt even more admiration for her mistress.
"Your Majesty, you are amazing! Keep it up, Your Majesty!"
This is a slogan that Guan Zhiyue taught her to shout to herself while exercising, saying that it would stimulate her desire to perform and thus keep her from giving up exercising.
Bilian is such a good maid; she deliberately chose to shout loudly when Bilian couldn't take it anymore.
Cining Palace.
"Your Majesty, this old servant has something to report."
The old lady, who had been kneeling on the prayer mat, stood up with the help of a nanny. She opened the simple yet ancient door, stepped out, and said calmly, "What is it that you wish to report?"
An old nanny kneeling on the ground quickly bowed respectfully before beginning to recount what had happened in the Cold Palace in the past few days.
"Later, this old servant inquired and learned that the Emperor did not punish the Empress. On the contrary, he told Consort Shen not to disturb the Empress and finally gave her a string of jewelry to send her away."
After hearing what Granny Fan said, Empress Dowager Xin looked at Granny Fan kneeling on the ground with some doubt and asked, "Did the Emperor say anything afterward? How is that girl Zhiyue doing lately?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor didn't say anything afterward, but he still sent people to monitor the Empress. The Empress has been dancing in the courtyard every day lately!"
Empress Dowager Xin listened to Granny Fan's words and said with a smile, "This girl can dance now! Not bad, not bad."
"It seems that His Majesty's anger is gradually subsiding. In a few days, I will make a trip for this girl, Zhiyue."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble."
"You, get up! I like Zhiyue, so I'm willing to step in and persuade her a little."
Granny Fan quickly flattered, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is truly kind-hearted! Now that Her Majesty the Empress has been released from the Cold Palace, she will surely be very grateful to Your Majesty!"
Empress Dowager Xin smiled and said, "Whether she is grateful or not, I don't care. I only care that she treats my Ji'er well."
"yes."
"I think the Empress will definitely treat our Emperor well, after all, the Empress admired our Emperor even before she married him."
This is common knowledge throughout the land; Your Majesty, you are fulfilling the Empress's wish, aren't you?"
"Alright, I'm tired. You all should remind the people in the Cold Palace not to skimp on the food for that girl Zhiyue. She has a big appetite, so have the Imperial Kitchen prepare more food for her."
"Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant obeys."
Guan Zhiyue had no idea what had happened at Cining Palace. All she knew was that she wanted to lose weight right now, and no one could stop her determination.
"Bilian, go find me a sturdy rope, I need it later."
Upon hearing that a sturdy rope was required, Bilian naturally conjured up images of her mistress hanging herself.
"Your Majesty, no! If we can't lose weight, then we won't. Let's just live well."
Rosamund Kwan.....
"Who said asking for a rope means you have to hang yourself?"
Bilian said with a wronged expression, "If Your Highness isn't going to hang yourself, then why did you bring a rope? And a sturdy one at that."
Guan Zhiyue was speechless. These ancient people were quite quick-witted. Who said ancient people were rigid? Come out and see if I don't beat you to death.
Guan Zhiyue had no choice but to patiently explain to Bilian. After listening to Guan Zhiyue's words through tears, Bilian ran off to find the eunuch in charge of the Cold Palace.
After Bilian left, Guan Zhiyue couldn't help but sigh, "Damn it, why is it so hard to find an auntie to jump rope with?"
"God, please have some mercy! What have I, Guan Zhiyue, done to offend you so that you would arrange things for me like this?"
"Rumble..."
In broad daylight, two thunderous booms echoed above the Cold Palace...
The two claps of thunder startled Guan Zhiyue, who quickly withdrew her finger from the sky, looked around, and ran back into the corridor.
The hidden guard covered his face with one hand, completely unable to bear looking at him...
"This Empress is truly a treasure!"
"Who says otherwise!"
"But it still looks quite cute. I just don't know what our Emperor thinks."
The hidden guards began to chat quietly.
"Be careful what you say. The Emperor is not someone we can discuss. Let's just keep an eye on this lively Empress!"
"How could this lady have so many strange and unusual ideas?"
I've heard that General Guan's daughter is very quiet and virtuous!
I can't see any of that gentle and virtuous side of her now! Could it all be an act?
"But it doesn't seem like it. We've met General Guan's daughter before, and she was indeed quiet and well-mannered. How come she's changed so much since coming to this cold palace?"
"Don't you think she's been driven mad? This Cold Palace used to imprison many concubines!"
"I don't know, it shouldn't be that bad! If she were crazy, she wouldn't be like this!"
"Haven't you seen those concubines who were imprisoned in the cold palace before? Weren't they all disheveled and talking nonsense?"
"It seems the Empress hasn't shown any signs of going mad yet!"
The two bodyguards hiding in the trees of the Cold Palace chatted idly, taking in everything that happened in the courtyard.
