“If you guys don’t want to get your blood vessels clogged early, you should manage.”
“Pff, are you a doctor or something?”
Laughter erupted within the maids’ dormitory, as if Keesha’s admonition was funny.
Three of her colleagues laughed heartily.
Because it was Keesha, who loved snacking more than anyone else, eating snacks as if trying to hide from sight.
No one believed her.
They didn’t believe the truth she was saying.
“Keesha, are you secretly preparing for a medical license?”
“No, you guys are already full of fortyfive…”
The floor was full of snack wrappers and crumbs, forming a large river.
Keesha burst into laughter at their disbelief.
“I thought I came to the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel.”
“Well, it’s just delicious? What’s the problem with buying and eating delicious things with my own money?”
“Ugh, let’s stop talking. Just stop talking.”
Keesha decided never to advise her colleagues again, thinking she was meddling unnecessarily.
Her colleagues kept stuffing snacks into their mouths without rest.
There were traces of chocolate and biscuit dust all over their teeth.
‘It’s all brilliantly stuck. They should open a snack house in their mouths.’
Keesha wiped her sweat with a towel and plunged back into completing her todo list for the day.
“Phew.”
It had been a few days without doing it, but somehow it felt like her body had hardened a bit.
Especially because it was a job that used a lot of arm, her wrist often hurt, but the pain disappeared when she did as Atia instructed.
It was really amazing.
It was just doing what was instructed for a few days.
What was the Madam doing?
“Keesha.”
“Don’t command me. I’m exercising.”
“What’s good about doing that?”
“Don’t command me…”
“Huh? What comes out of doing that? Do snacks come out, does money come out?”
“Or… does a handsome guy come out?”
“I’m saying I’m exercising…”
“Pff, a handsome man from a fairy tale will pop out and kiss you?”
It was not an atmosphere where she could exercise.
‘It’s no good here.’
It seemed impossible to finish today’s workout here.
God can’t do it here either.
Keesha glared at her colleagues with her mouth shut.
If they can’t help, they shouldn’t at least interfere.
“Pff, what’s with that expression?”
“……”
“You look like a hamster that’s angry because it can’t eat snacks. Puhaha! Squeak, squeak!”
“Huh…”
“Are you angry? Our little squeaky Keesha? Ouchie!?”
Keesha sensed that if she didn’t get out of here quickly, everything would turn to ashes.
[This is the time separator]Keesha, who had left the dormitory, wiped her still sweating body once more with a towel.
If there was no dormitory, where should she exercise?
She couldn’t think of a suitable place.
At first, it was fine as she exercised with the madam.
However, the exercises listed became more and more intense.
When she tried to do it alone in the dormitory, the interference of her colleagues was not easy.
She had no choice but to take advantage of the time when they were asleep, but the problem was that she didn’t know when they would sleep.
‘Exercising is hard enough, now I have a headache.’
Keesha knocked on Atia’s door.
It wasn’t that she had a task, nor was it because the madam pulled the slack rope.
Knock, knock.
Upon hearing the invitation to enter, Keesha cautiously opened the door.
Creak.
“Madam.”
Atia could be seen through the open door gap.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was panting heavily.
‘She’s exercising?’
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1…….”
Atia, who had bent her legs, straightened them and changed her posture.
“What’s up?”
“Madam…”
It was Keesha, with a completely deflated voice.
Recognizing that something was happening to Keesha, Atia immediately stopped the exercise she was doing.
Atia wiped her sweat with a towel.
“Well… I tried to do what you ordered, but…”
“Hmm.”
Keesha honestly poured out what had happened in the dormitory.
“I know my abilities are lacking, but…”
“No, Keesha. The surrounding environment is very important when it comes to exercise.”
“What?”
“That’s why they say 90% is environment. If you can’t do it alone, do it as a group, pay money and learn to exercise. They’re all efforts to change the environment.”
“Ah…”
“You’re amazing for trying to exercise in such an environment. Seeing that you came here for that, it means you have that much will.”
“……”
Upon hearing Atia’s encouragement, Kesha felt touched.
What if the lady scolds me for not being able to endure it,
And says I’m whining even after so many days? She worried inside.
“Of course, the beginning is always the hardest. Let’s see……”
Atia blinked her eyes.
“I’ll give you a separate room instead of the group dormitory. A room where you can exercise comfortably alone. What do you think?”
“Ma, Madam……”
Kesha’s eyes became red.
“How big do you want it? Is this room size enough?”
“……”
“Kesha, I’ll put everything you need.”
Kesha, who was on the verge of tears, finally burst into tears.
“Why are you crying? Did the kids tease you a lot?”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
