Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused.

"Age?"

"It's the difference between having a child and not having a child!" Jiang Ning said impatiently, "Generally speaking, after giving birth, a woman's body will change more or less, and she won't be as slim as when she was a girl. Do you know why?"

"Because they gain weight."

"Yes, that's one reason. But many people don't gain much weight and still can't return to their girlhood appearance. Why is that?"

"Why?"
