Si Chu ended up carrying Mingshu back to Jingren Palace, for by then, she had nearly lost consciousness, incessantly pulling on him, asking him to count the stars with her. If it weren't for Si Chu holding onto her, she probably could have led him to jump into the pond.
Finally back at Jingren Palace, Si Chu placed Mingshu onto the bed, feeling a substantial sense of relief.
Yun Zhi caught a glimpse of His Majesty's forehead beaded with light sweat, his face also somewhat red, and thought anxiously, could it be that her mistress was too heavy?
She felt somewhat troubled and decided to control her mistress's diet from now on. In the current fashion, thin was considered beautiful, and the ladies of the court were all either dieting or dancing to maintain their beauty. But her mistress was different, always worrying about what to eat for lunch or dinner.
Look at that waist, she must have gained a whole size since entering the palace!
His Majesty could hardly carry her anymore!
