The next morning.
When Guan Zhiyue woke up in the cold palace, she saw the thick blankets covering her and recalled with some confusion.
Last night, I felt something suddenly fall on me, but I was too sleepy to pay attention to it. I never expected it to be that thick quilt that Bilian got from somewhere.
"Your Majesty, you're awake! Can you get up now?"
Guan Zhiyue rolled around on the bed and said, "I have the strength now, I can get up. Can you help me? I can't get up..."
When Bilian heard her mistress say she could get up, she excitedly ran to Guan Zhiyue.
"By the way, where did you get this thick quilt?"
When Bilian heard her mistress asking about the bedding, she recounted how she had brought back a large bundle from the door the previous night.
Guan Zhiyue went through all the people in the original owner's mind. Who in the palace could send her these things?
"Did the master send it through someone?"
"Father, are they still in the capital?"
“Yes, His Majesty has granted permission for the master and his family to return to the capital. Because of Your Majesty, the master and young master are currently serving in the capital!” Bilian said to Guan Zhiyue.
After hearing this, Guan Zhiyue nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Let's go! Let's go exercise!"
Bilian looked at Guan Zhiyue with some strangeness, feeling that her mistress was different this time when she woke up.
Bilian thought for a moment and quickly chased after her, only to see Guan Zhiyue standing in the courtyard, dancing something.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
"One, two, three, four; two, two, three, four; three, two, three, four; four, two, three, four..."
"Three circles to the left, three circles to the right..."
"Twist your neck, wiggle your butt..."
Guan Zhiyue was dancing enthusiastically when she heard Bilian calling her from the corridor.
She quickly stopped and looked at Bilian, asking, "What's wrong?"
Bilian quickly went to Guan Zhiyue's side and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing? Why are you moving your neck and legs all over the place?"
Rosamund Kwan was already panting and sweating profusely after just a little exercise.
She said, slightly out of breath, "Your Majesty, this is an exercise to lose weight. I want to get rid of all this fat and become a heartthrob."
Bilian was intimidated by her mistress's imposing presence and looked at Guan Zhiyue, who had plopped down on the stone steps of the corridor, with some fear.
Guan Zhiyue turned to look at Bilian, who seemed somewhat afraid of her, and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Bilian nodded, then shook her head.
"So, are you afraid of me or not?" Guan Zhiyue looked at Bilian with a very serious expression.
Bilian shook her head nervously and stammered, "Although I don't know why, I always feel that Your Highness, when you woke up this time, it was just...it was just..."
"What? Just say it."
"It's like you've become a different person, but when I see you, it's still you. However, sometimes your thoughts are different from before. It's just strange and I can't quite put my finger on it."
After hearing what Bilian said, Guan Zhiyue burst into laughter, which made Bilian somewhat afraid of the current empress.
"Hahahaha... It's different, that's right. Your empress has thought a lot and dreamed a lot during these few days of illness;
Your mother will never again be like before, meek and submissive, letting others bully her;
I don't want anyone to laugh at me anymore for being a fat, ugly woman, so I think it's time for a change, Your Majesty."
"Are you really my empress?"
Guan Zhiyue said with a smile, "Then take a good look and see if I am or not?"
You've been with me since we were little, and you're even a year older than me, but don't you know what I'm like?"
Bilian walked firmly to Guan Zhiyue and knelt down in front of her with a thud, saying, "It's you, it's you!"
No matter what you wish to become, I will always stand by your side and stand with you through thick and thin.
Guan Zhiyue was touched by this little girl, even though in this timeline, the original owner of this body was younger than this Bilian.
However, in modern times, Guan Zhiyue is already twenty-five years old, which is considered old by these people.
The original owner was also a pitiful young girl. She was only fifteen years old and had just come of age when she got married. The key point is that she married an old man who was seven years older than her.
Yes, that's right. Li Qiji is already a 22-year-old man, while our original owner was just a 15-year-old flower bud who had just come of age.
This despicable man actually abandoned her, such a poor girl at such a young age, in this cold and dilapidated palace, leaving her with tears and regret for the rest of her life.
Guan Zhiyue felt like crying when she recalled the various insults and unfair treatment her body had suffered.
"Okay, stop crying. Wipe your tears. We can't let others laugh at us."
"Yes, Your Highness. This servant will obey Your Highness."
Guan Zhiyue said with a smile, "That's good. Quickly help me up so I can keep jumping."
Okay.
With Bilian's help, Guan Zhiyue got up from the ground and continued to twist her neck and waist.
"Bilian, go and get some brooms or something. Let's clean this yard; it's too dirty."
Guan Zhiyue looked at the fallen leaves and spider webs all over the yard, and then looked at Bilian, who was brewing medicine in the distance, with a headache.
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest for a while. I will go find the eunuch in charge of the Cold Palace right away."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Guan Zhiyue stretched her arms, turned her head, and walked towards the rattan chair placed in the corridor.
He sat down with some difficulty, then picked up a glass of water and gulped it down.
"Sigh, the original owner's body is so chubby! I wonder when she'll be able to lose it!" Guan Zhiyue muttered to herself as she drank.
However, a hidden guard, having observed everything, turned and left.
Chengqian Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has already gotten out of bed today and even performed a wild dance in the courtyard, but almost all of her movements were quite an eyesore."
Ji Wu knelt respectfully on the ground, reporting to the Emperor who was reading a book at his desk.
The man seemed captivated by the idiom "a chaotic dance of demons," and curiously looked up from the book, a faint smile playing on his lips, and asked, "How exactly is it so 'eye-searing'?"
These words put Ji Wu in a difficult position. You know, this is a grown man...
"Um... I can't quite put my finger on it."
The man placed the book in his hand on the desk, stared at Ji Wu kneeling on the ground, and said, "Then you show me how this 'chaotic dance of demons' works is."
Ji Wu....
Ji Wu resignedly stood up from the ground, placed his sword aside, and began to mimic the movements he had seen in the distance.
"Three circles to the left, three circles to the right, twist your neck, wiggle your butt... one, two, three, four, two, two, three, four..."
The man looked at the unsightly Ji Wu, wondering what he was dancing, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. It was indeed a chaotic dance of demons.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong? What kind of rubbish are you doing with that?"
Ji Wu quickly bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "That's exactly how it is. That's how the Empress danced."
"Little Yue'er, you are so different from before."
The man stood up from the dragon throne, looked at the two men, and said, "Hua Quan, accompany me for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Ji Wu, you may step down."
"From now on, you shall report any news about the Cold Palace every five days."
Ji Wu quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
"By the way, if the Empress Dowager sends anything else, don't stop her. Let her send it."
"yes."
After the man finished speaking, he led Hua Quan and strode away towards the door.
Right now, our useless empress, or rather, our queen, is busy sweeping the floor and wiping the windows with a broom, laughing and chuckling! She has no idea what just happened.
"Bilian, go up a little further. Do you see that? There's still a spider web on your right that we haven't removed!"
"Your Highness, where are you referring to? This servant did not see it!"
"Oh dear, it's right to your right, at that corner." Guan Zhiyue was almost frantic, but Bilian couldn't see it even while standing on the escalator.
"Haven't you seen it yet?"
"No, Your Majesty, where exactly are you referring to?"
"Come down and take a look first, then go back up. If it weren't for my obesity and the fact that this escalator isn't sturdy, I would have gone up and cleaned it myself."
Bilian quickly slid down from up there, looked up at the place Guan Zhiyue had mentioned, and chuckled, "Hehe, this servant saw it this time, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Guan Zhiyue wasn't angry at all; she was anxious, extremely anxious!
"Alright, see? Now hurry up and clean that area up!"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
When Guan Zhiyue was doing these tasks, she was already drenched in sweat.
Now she was completely soaked, the sweat sticking together.
It emitted a foul stench that made him dizzy from the smell.
"I've definitely gotten fatter; everything is so strenuous now!"
After Bilian slid down the escalator, she heard her mistress talking about her figure.
"Your Highness, it's alright. If you need anything, you can just tell me what to do."
Guan Zhiyue smiled as she looked at Bilian in front of her, and said nothing.
