The next morning.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up!"
Guan Zhiyue got up at Bilian's call, and moved her body wearily, pinching the fat on her stomach, looking somewhat dejected.
"Last night my dad said I'd lost weight, but I wanted to say I'm still chubby!"
"But Your Highness, you've lost weight!"
"well...."
"Is it really bad to be thin?"
While bringing Guan Zhiyue warm water to wash her face, Bilian said with a smile, "But parents all hope their children are chubby and strong, because that's what good health is!"
Guan Zhiyue shook her head dismissively and said, "Being fat is bad. When a person is fat, they are plagued by all sorts of illnesses, and their resistance is relatively low. They don't have the same resistance as thin people. Furthermore, being too obese can easily lead to various problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. You must remember not to let yourself get fat."
"But Your Highness, if you weren't plump, the Master would think you were being bullied in the palace!"
"Nonsense, it's better to be slim."
The master and servant were combing their hair in the room while chatting about obesity.
Bilian didn't understand what Guan Zhiyue meant by rambling on, but the only thing she understood was that her mistress was starting to complain that she was too fat.
"Furthermore, if I were thinner, he probably wouldn't have gotten hurt in what happened yesterday."
"Oh dear, Your Highness, that's all in the past. Besides, the Prince is skilled in martial arts; it's normal for martial artists to get injured. Alright, let's not think about it anymore. Your Highness, it's rare for you to leave the palace. Don't you want to go out for a stroll today?" Seeing that Guan Zhiyue was still thinking about yesterday's events, Bilian was afraid that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she quickly changed the subject.
When Guan Zhiyue heard that she could go shopping, she was really happy. She had never been to an ancient market before, and now that she was here, she had to have a good time.
"Then give me a simple oath!"
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time today." Bilian took the wooden comb and started working it on Guan Zhiyue's head, quickly creating a pretty yet playful hairstyle.
Guan Zhiyue looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The blurry but still recognizable image looked beautiful, and her mood instantly brightened.
Just then, a maidservant came to report that the master was waiting for the empress to come over for breakfast.
"Dad, do you think my dress looks good today?" A light green dress fluttered in the air and caught the eyes of several grown men. Her simple yet pretty hairstyle, paired with Guan Zhiyue's chubby cheeks, made her look like a big, fat cat. She was cute, but she felt she would look even more playful and beautiful if she were a little thinner.
“He looks good in anything. My son looks good in everything.”
"Third sister, you do look beautiful today, but as you said, you still look better when you're a bit thinner!" Guan Chengheng said with a roguish smile.
Guan Chengzhuo was speechless at his younger brother's words. He quickly pulled Guan Zhiyue's hand and made her sit down next to him. After looking her up and down, he said, "I didn't expect that after more than a month, my little sister Yue'er has grown up to be so beautiful and refined."
"Sister-in-law, the weather is getting colder, you need to wear more clothes!"
Guan Hongsheng was speechless after hearing Li Qishang's words. He had been so focused on how good his child looked that he had forgotten that it was already November and that it would snow soon. He should wear more clothes.
"Bilian, prepare a thicker cloak for Her Majesty."
"Yes, sir."
Guan Zhiyue chuckled and glanced at Li Qishang sitting opposite her, saying, "Is Your Highness's hand feeling any better?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'm all better now!"
Guan Zhiyue nodded, thinking that since she had eaten ginseng medicinal food last night, there should be no problem!
"Shall we go look at the shops today?"
Guan Zhiyue's words shocked everyone present. They looked at her incredulously and asked, "Yue'er, you're going to open a shop?"
"Little sister, what kind of shop do you want to open?"
"So you're thinking of opening a shop?"
Guan Zhiyue looked at her three family heads and said, "Father, I'm planning to open a restaurant with Prince Xiaoyao!"
"You guys? Run a restaurant?"
Li Qishang and Guan Zhiyue nodded to each other, indicating that what they had just said was correct, and that they should open a restaurant.
"None of you know how to run a restaurant?"
Guan Zhiyue took a sip of porridge and said softly, "Daddy, you can learn if you don't know how!"
"Third sister, what kind of restaurant are you planning to open?" Guan Chengzhuo asked, looking at the two of them.
Guan Zhiyue raised an eyebrow at Li Qishang, indicating that he should suggest what kind of restaurant he wanted to open.
"General Guan, my sister-in-law and I are planning to open a hot pot restaurant."
"Hot pot restaurant? What is a hot pot restaurant?"
The three members of the Guan family, father and sons, looked at the two of them curiously, somewhat bewildered. Guan Hongsheng looked at Guan Zhiyue, who was leisurely eating her meal, and said, "Yue'er, what kind of restaurant do you run? Why have we never heard of it before?"
"Hahaha, Daddy, this is the latest food that your daughter has researched, and it's especially suitable for this season."
"But how did you get involved with this carefree prince?"
"What's wrong?" Guan Zhiyue smiled when she saw her father glancing towards Li Qishang.
"Your Highness, please enlighten my father and the others!"
After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Li Qishang wiped his mouth and said, "General Guan, you may not know this, but on the night I returned to the palace, I ate and drank at my sister-in-law's palace. I ate the most delicious food in Nanding Kingdom at my sister-in-law's palace, and I definitely want to promote it."
"Is it the hot pot you guys were talking about?"
"Yes, let your sister-in-law do it again tonight?" Li Qishang said, looking at Guan Zhiyue, who shrugged indifferently.
Suddenly, something else occurred to her: "Weren't you injured? Can you eat?"
Li Qishang was overjoyed to hear Guan Zhiyue's concern for him, but not wanting to spoil the mood, he still nodded and said, "It's alright!"
Seeing his attitude, Guan Zhiyue didn't know how to stop him, so she nodded in agreement. The three Guan family members finished their breakfast amidst their confusion, and then Guan Zhiyue took Bilian to go shopping.
Oh, and there are two more who are shamelessly insisting on following Guan Chengheng and Li Qishang.
