The sigh that left Mu Dan's soft lips were slow, as if her brain needed the time to process the things before her.
Xiao Bao saw her master's distressed face, thinking it was caused from her incident with Liu Cheng Feng and begin to comfort her master.
"Princess don't feel disheartened, that Liu Cheng Feng is just scum with a pretty face! There are tons of others with appearance and talents way beyond his! He is just a bastard! So what if our princess's appearance isn't as pleasing as the other misses? What if your temper is very bad? With your highness's status and love from the Emperor and Empress there are plenty waiting in line to court you!"
Mu Dan stared at the young girl in front of her. Is she trying to comfort me cause its not working.. And when did she say she was sad because of that man?
Appearance not pleasing compared to others? Wait..if she really did reincarnate then that must mean her appearance should've changed!
Bai Mu Dan read many novels in the past, during her middle school years she was especially interested in novels that were involved in time traveling/transmigrating/reincarnating/etc...
According to the novels she read, those protagonists who traveled into other worlds would possess a otherworldly appearance that could cause a country's downfall. In her past life, she was a A-list actress who was famous for her dedicate appearance.
This girl said her appearance wasn't as pleasant compared to others....then in this world how would she look like?
Bai Mu Dan began to wandered around the luxurious room, her pairs of flexible eyes darting more wildly every passing second searching for a mirror or anything that could show her appearance. She turns towards the backyard, catching a small glimpse of a pond surrounded by peonies. She charged over towards the pond as curiosity begin to consume her. When she finally took a look at her reflection, Bai Mu Dan's whole body stopped moving, her eyes were wide open, her expression was as if lightning had strike her.
Your mother! What is this?!
Bai Mu Dan wanted to burst into tears. She wanted to shout, have a tantrum, wishing she could lie on the floor and cry like a toddler.
This face..this body..this appearance..am I truly a princess?!
Bai Mu Dan stared at her reflection, her eyes roaming critically from one feature to another.
Her current self looks somewhat like a potato wrapped in rich fabrics, her body round as a hot air balloon, a contrast to her previous hourglass body and celestial like appearance.
God..you are playing me ah!
"Princess.." Xiao Bao mumbled "..you've been staring at the pond for half a hour already.."
"Xiao Bao-ah..am I fat?"
The poor girl was almost scared to tears. Her master has been behaving strangely since waking up this morning. In the palace it was a taboo to gossip about the sixth princess's body. The princess hated it when others talk about her body weight, not even the Emperor and Empress was allowed to say a single word! Her highness once spot Concubine Hui's maidservant badmouthing her. That Maidservant was captured and sent to the cheapest brothel in the city for a month before butchering her whole body and used it as dog food for nourishment...even Concubine Hui had to personally come and apologize to her master because of this! Princess you're purposely making life harder for this servant ah!
"Princess..you are not fat..y-you just have big bones!"
Mu Dan let out a small sigh,"Big bones don't jiggle when they move.."
Thats it! She was gonna lose this weight no matter what! She will turn this round gluttonous body into the body she once owned before! She had studied this current body's facial features earlier, if she lose the weight and care for it properly then she could probably pass as a slightly above average.
maybe..
"Xiao Bao, to be-" Before she could finish her sentence, someone had cut her off.
"The Empress has arrived!"
A woman in her forties appeared followed by a group of servants. She was dressed in a long glamourous golden silk robe, her ink black hair was put up like a knotted roll supported by multiple hairpins and a phoenix crown. With her head held high, her whole body releases a elegant and virtuous aura. Her eyes filled with worries, scanned the backyard with determination in search of someone.
Then her eyes met hers, it seems as if she was looking for her.
"My daughter!"
Xiao Bao was startled for a few seconds before bowing down,"This servant greets the Empress."
...
Mu Dan looked like she was in a complicated situation, should she bow like Xiao Bao or just stand there? "Em...Greetings to the Empress..??"
"Mu Dan what are you doing? I'm your Mother, you should call me Mother." The woman looked at her puzzled. This child, could something really had happen to her? Sensing something was wrong, she turned to Xiao Bao.
"what happened to her?"
"Replying to the Empress, This servant also does not know what happened to the Princess. Since the princess woke up she has been acting strangely, scaring this servant half dead!" Then Xiao Bao began to tell the the Empress everything that has happened since then.
"The princess seems to have lost parts of her memories."
"What? Lost her memories? Someone call the Imperial Doctors!"
Bai Mu Dan's day was spent in her room with hundreds of doctors checking her. Each and every one of them declared that her memory loss was due to love sickness..
Lovesickness?
Lovesickness??
???
Bullshit, this lady has never seen such unreliable doctors in her lifetime!
"My poor child, you have been mistreated! I will ask your Father to give you justice! That Liu Cheng Feng if you really must have him then I will definitely find a way!"
Bai Mu Dan is speechless..
"Mother, you thought wrong I do not like that bastard Liu Cheng Feng anymore." She said straightforwardly with a calm voice
Silence.
"W-What did you say? My child, are you sure?" She asked suspiciously, studying the girl's face.
"En."
The servants were shocked,
Why is the princess's reaction so calm?
Is this still the spoiled, pampered sixth princess they know? Where is the fiery temper? The outrageous requests? What witchcraft is this??
