There Are a Hundred Mu of Land Here. Can You Believe It?

These ladies were clearly not in good health, so she summoned all of them to the main hall and began teaching them some basic yoga.

The ladies were sound asleep when they were suddenly woken up, and they were quite dumbfounded.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Stop staring blankly, this yoga is good for your health."

It's also good for your physique; your bodies are far too weak.

Consort Zhen, dressed in yoga attire, asked somewhat awkwardly, "Is this appropriate for me?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "I think it's quite suitable! No one comes to this cold palace, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhou Wanwan took out various yoga clothes and said, "You all should go and change into these. They're actually quite comfortable; you can even wear them while doing farm work."

The yoga clothes that Zhou Wanwan made have already been modified.

The top is a short blouse with short sleeves that don't get in the way, and the cinched waist really accentuates the figure.

The pants are loose and comfortable, with a hidden buckle at the waist, so you can bend over and stretch your legs without any restriction.

Everyone quickly changed into their new clothes, their faces beaming with joy. "These clothes are so comfortable, and they look really pretty too!"

"Wanwan has such good taste, Wanwan, you're amazing."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Alright, I'll teach you yoga now. It's all some very basic poses, so it shouldn't be difficult for you."

Zhou Wanwan taught them a few moves, which were indeed quite easy for these women.

Some people were just too weak; they were out of breath after only ten minutes.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Alright, time to eat breakfast."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the breakfast spread on the table and said, "Eat quickly, so you can get to work."

It's impossible for them to go to the Imperial Kitchen every day; most of the steamed buns, twisted rolls, and noodles are delivered by Zhou Wanwan's subordinates.

The empresses and palace maids all ate the same things, but Zhou Wanwan was different; her breakfast was definitely specially prepared for her.

Today her breakfast consisted of premium chicken noodle soup, wontons with minced pork, milky white bird's nest soup, steamed crab roe buns, pine nut cake, fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots, braised tender pork, sweet lotus seed paste, green pickles, and jujube paste pastries...

Consort Zhen took a sip of the milky white bird's nest soup and said, "It's delicious. I haven't had it in years."

The young palace maid smiled and said, "I remember that Her Majesty's favorite food back then was bird's nest soup."

Consort Zhen smiled faintly, gazing at Zhou Wanwan in a daze.

Zhou Wanwan ate a bowl of wontons, fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and two pine nut cakes for breakfast.

Consort Zhen looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You can't eat bamboo shoots. They cause rashes. You should eat less of them in the future."

Zhou Wanwan glanced at her and said:

"You know perfectly well that I'm not Ajiu, don't you?"

I took your pulse; your memory should have returned by now.

Consort Zhen's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You are indeed not my Ajiu. Ajiu is not as calm or as intelligent as you."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"Consort Zhen, you're only in your twenties, aren't you?"

There's really no need for things to turn out like this for a man.

I'm very sorry that Ajiu is gone, but people have to move on eventually.

Consort Zhen nodded and said:

"Yes! I really need to move on. I've been living in a daze for so many years, and I've never dared to accept this fact."

But what's the point of continuing to run away?

Noble Consort Ning only thought I was weak and easy to bully. I didn't cause her any real harm; instead, I exhausted myself."

The women in the imperial harem were all clever, but Consort Zhen could never escape that situation.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Taking good care of your health and living a good life is more important than anything else."

He's only in his twenties, but he looks more weathered than people in their fifties.

Looking at the other concubines outside, Consort Zhen sighed, "They used to fight to the death every day, but now that we're farming every day, there's much less fighting."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"What's the point of fighting? Why bother over a man?"

Besides, his heart has never been with you.

Consort Zhen thought for a moment and said:

"That's true. That's how men's love is, especially that of emperors."

Sometimes I envy Consort Ning; she should be called Noble Consort Ning now, right?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Indeed, she is now Noble Consort Ning."

"She gets the Emperor's favor, unlike us..."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:

Even the emperor's favoritism is worthless!

Look at Noble Consort Ning now, she not only has to handle palace affairs, but sometimes she also has to handle political affairs on her own. She's quite busy."

Consort Zhen smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Zhou Wanwan picked up the hoe and said:

"Let's go! Today we should plant corn. You know what, the soil here in the Cold Palace is quite fertile; the crops grown here will definitely be good."

Not only corn, but I also had them plant a lot of fruit trees, so we'll have plenty of fruit to eat in the Cold Palace next year."

Consort Zhen smiled faintly and said, "I used to farm when I was a child on the estate, but I don't know if I can still do it now."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "What can't you plant? How difficult is farming?"

Consort Zhen began to diligently cultivate the land. Zhou Wanwan, observing from the Cold Palace, remarked:

"This Cold Palace is huge, it covers over a hundred acres, can you believe it?"

"With such a large area, if it were used for farming, how many people could it support each year?"

The Old Scholar Tree gestured with its chin and said, "That depends on whether they're willing!"

Before Zhou Wanwan could finish speaking, she saw several palace maids and eunuchs being thrown in.

These palace maids and eunuchs were covered in wounds and looked like they were about to die.

Zhou Wanwan looked at their injuries and asked, "What happened?"

Eunuch Hai walked in from outside and said, "They offended Noble Consort Ning and were beaten. I was thinking of throwing them here; they might have a chance to survive."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the palace maids and eunuchs and said, "Carry them inside!"

Eunuch Hai had several eunuchs carry them into the house.

Zhou Wanwan told them to wait outside, took out some medicinal herbs, and began to treat their injuries.

They must have been beaten dozens of times; two of them were already on the verge of death, barely clinging to life.

The Old Scholar Tree produced a lot of medicinal herbs, which Zhou Wanwan placed on their bodies before slowly beginning the treatment.

This process is still very slow, but fortunately, Zhou Wanwan used to be able to treat only one person, but now she can treat two people at the same time.

The medicinal properties of the herbs flowed down their bodies, and after more than three hours, the palace maids and eunuchs slowly opened their eyes one by one.

Eunuch Hai looked at them in astonishment and said, "You... you're awake! My goodness! This is simply a miracle! Wanwan, you're amazing!"

The palace maids and eunuchs quickly knelt on the ground. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Alright, get up! From now on, you will stay in the Cold Palace and do your jobs well."

The palace maids nodded and said, "Thank you, young lady. We will certainly do our job well."

Eunuch Hai sighed and said, "If it weren't for Wanwan, you would all be dead. You should be thanking Wanwan properly."
