Chunks of fat, huge chunks of fat, perfectly square, as big as a mahjong tile!
The so-called chicken soup had a thick layer of chicken fat floating on top.
There were whole pig knuckles, entire fish, whole roasted lamb legs...
All the food was at dishes.
Yuan Yuan felt the world darken before her eyes but at last understood why the original body’s owner was so fat.
And just by looking at these foods, she could already picture the eating scenes of her daily life, because it was all so vivid.
She stiffly sat down on a stool and turned to the palace maid beside her, "Is this all I eat, these at dishes?"
"Replying to Lady, yes, you don’t eat staples or vegetables, only ats. Occasionally, at our urging, you would eat so fruits. Basically, out of these eighteen dishes here, you can finish them all. Lady, is there sothing wrong? Why have you forgotten all this?"
Yuan Yuan’s body shuddered with fear as she thought to herself, it was no wonder she felt acidic in her stomach upon inheriting this body. Eating so much, how could it not be acid? She considered it a rcy that she hadn’t burst from overeating.
Looking at the dazzling array of at dishes, she imdiately felt her stomach churn and lanted, "Such a waste of heaven’s gifts!"
One person and they prepared twenty dishes for her, all either large fish or large at, all rich and heavy in flavor, sweet and cloying. These are all things that would make her gain weight. Even without being poisoned, just eating these would be a challenge to maintain for five years.
She sighed and looked up at Shiqin, Shiqi, Shishu, and Shihua, the four Senior Palace Maids, and nodded.
"After waking up, I did indeed discover that I’ve forgotten a lot of things."
"Then, Lady, shall we call the Imperial Physician to have a look at you again?"
The four palace maids were worried; after all, their mistress was the apple of the Empress Dowager’s eye. They absolutely could not neglect her. If the Empress Dowager learned that their Empress had forgotten so much, how could they explain themselves?
Yuan Yuan waved her hand, "I’m fine. Forget it, it’s forgotten. It’s about ti I went on a diet anyway. I’ll decide the nu from now on; we can skip this al. Starting from the next one, rember, okay?"
"Yes, we shall follow your instructions carefully," Yuan Yuan ’hmd’ in acknowledgnt, her mind spinning with thoughts.
Her husband, Ning Xu, the young Emperor of Dongru Country, was only fifteen years old, in the pri of his youth. Ascending the throne at a young age, had it not been for the strong backing of the Empress Dowager’s family, his position on the throne would probably not have been secure. Otherwise, how could he so ekly obey the Empress Dowager’s arrangents, marrying such a "Fat Queen"?
Disgust filled her mind at the sight of the dishes, but her mouth and stomach craved uncontrollably.
Without looking at the food, it would be alright, but upon seeing it, Yuan Yuan could empathize with the original owner’s hardship and difficulty. And she had even undergone a round of Wash Essence and Marrow. If she hadn’t taken the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, would she be even more unable to control herself now, wanting to fill that stretched stomach?
"Today, I’m not much hungry. You all, eat these dishes," she said to the maids.
Shiqin imdiately frowned, "Lady, how can you not eat? Shall we ask the kitchen to make you so light food to bring over?"
Yuan Yuan waved her hand, "No need for more trouble. Skipping a al won’t kill , but we can’t waste so much food. You all eat it, don’t waste."
Yet the palace maids and eunuchs in the room looked at each other, no one daring to move.
