CH 144

The white snow falling from the sky crushed against the green-blue tiles of the eaves.

A scenery with red walls and white snow, in a world of silence.

At this time, silence was better than noise, as Ming Zhu was looking at the man standing in the snow with an outsider’s point of view. His figure was slender and tall, an icy chill surrounded the view of his back.

Ming Zhu badly wanted to see what expression was on Zhao Zhi’s face at this time, although she couldn’t see it, but she guessed that he probably had no expression on his face, he was probably like he usually was when he spoke those words. It was as simple as this.

The resentment and hatred that Ming Zhu had hidden in her heart was suddenly aroused, she hated him for being too cruel, she hated him for disrupting her life at first and then abandoning her in the end.

She gnashed her teeth in hatred, how good would it be if this was not a dream, she could rush over and make him perish along with her.

Ming Zhu was woken up by Biying, with cold sweat all over her back.

Ming Zhu was somewhat irritated, after all, because she had not dreamed of the Zhao Zhi of her previous life for a long time, she had almost forgotten his cold as ice face.

She sat on the bed with her hands under the blanket, “Why did you wake me up?”

She wanted to hear what else Zhao Zhi was going to say, the reason why he had ordered people to kill her.

Biying’s expression was difficult to describe in one word, “You were having a nightmare.”

“I wasn’t.”

“This servant saw you with your hands up in mid-air, you were yelling about strangling someone, and you almost rolled off the bed.”

Ming Zhu felt slightly uneasy, but she would not admit to such a humiliating thing, she asked, “Really?”

“This servant saw it with her own eyes.”

“I don’t remember.” Ming Zhu said vaguely.

She woke up with tired limbs, as if she had fought with someone and had exhausted all her strength.

Biying knew that miss Ming Zhu had a craving for delicious food recently, so she smiled at her and said, “The kitchen has made two new Guangzhou-style pastries, how about getting up and trying them?”

Ming Zhu heard about the pastries she usually loved to eat, yet unexpectedly her interest wasn’t aroused. Licking her lips, she said in a small voice, “But I want to eat noodles today.”

“This servant is going to ask the kitchen staff to prepare it for you now.”

“Will that be okay?”

“Of course, it’s okay.”

The kitchen staff had long been replaced by another group of people, they were chefs picked from the palace, so they not only could cook delicious food, but their outlook was also different from other people. They would not easily look down on anyone, nor would they offend anyone.

Ming Zhu pinched the soft flesh on her belly, she clearly knew she had gained a lot of weight, but she didn’t intend to control her appetite, her craving was itching, and it was hard to resist. She reminded her, “Have them put a lot of chili in the noodles.”

Even Biying felt it was somewhat strange, “Since when did miss become so fond of spicy food?”

Ming Zhu was already dressed, her clothes were plain, she looked supple and graceful, like a clear summer lotus in summer, whose petals were full of the sweet and fragrant dew of the early morning.

Biying felt that the miss Ming Zhu had become even more beautiful, the aura around her face was just different from other girls.  It might be because she had gained weight, but she looked like she was well hydrated and taken care of.

Ming Zhu tied the last button on her dress, as she said, “I don’t know either, maybe because the weather is not so hot anymore, so my appetite has also become better?”

She seriously thought about this question and said: “Besides, eating spicy can also relieve oiliness, now when I think of the sweet pastries I was eating before, I just want to vomit.”

It was too sweet, so sweet it was sickening.

Biying felt that this might really be the case, people’s feelings would change overtime, and naturally their tastes would also change.

The kitchen quickly brought over the cooked noodles, the bowl used to contain the noodles was even larger than Ming Zhu’s face, in the full large bowl, each noodle seemed to be coated with a layer of red chili oil.

Ming Zhu, without any complaint, ate the entire bowl of noodles.

Bi Ying was taken aback, “Don’t eat too much, you will feel stuffy.”

Ming Zhu raised her head and touched her belly, but did not feel very stuffy, she said: “It’s really fine.”

She also did not feel particularly full, and if there was more of it, she could even continue to eat.

Ming Zhu saw the indescribable look in Biying’s eyes, and after a moment of thinking, she asked, “Did I eat a little too much?”

Biying shook her head, “No, being able to eat is a blessing.”

Ming Zhu walked to the bronze mirror and looked at her reflection in the mirror, she then touched the flesh on her face, “I have a double chin now.”

The flesh on her face had grown more than a circle, her goose egg face had turned into a roundlet face, she looked plump, and her skin appeared especially tender.

“Even if miss gains a little weight, you will still be an outstanding beauty.”

Ming Zhu liked to show off her beauty a little, and she also liked to hear compliments, so when she heard Biying say she still remained as beautiful as before, she was upset for less than half a stick of incense, before she decided to continue to gain weight regardless, with peace of mind.
