Consort of a Thousand Faces

s everyone ’s voices gradually became louder, their eyes naturally drifted towards the topic of conversation: Su Xi-er.

”She has lost her mind, right? It ’s the Beauty Palace, yet she actually chose to not go! ”

”Exactly.
She offended Prince Hao while already being under Commandery Prince Xie ’s ire from when she helped He Xiangyu take the blame.
From the looks of it, she ’s going to die. ”

Hong Li raised her eyebrow.
”Do you treat Commandery Prince Xie as a fool? He is very clear about who has offended him.
It ’s because He Xiangyu got taken into the Beauty Palace that Commandery Prince Xie didn ’t pursue the matter further with her. ”

Now that she mentioned it, that also seems to make sense.

A fat palace maid chuckled.
”Hong Li, you take Su Xi-er ’s side a lot.
Is it because you think that she is going to prosper that you are so hurriedly hugging her thigh[1]? ”

Su Xi-er hadn ’t spoken all this while and finally responded, ”My arms and legs are thin.
If it ’s about the thigh, it ’s better to hug yours instead. ”

In an instant, the other palace maids could no longer hold it in and laughter escaped their mouth.

That palace maid was the fattest in the Palace Side Quarters.
She had been fat since she was young, even growing fatter by drinking water.

Having been teased, the palace maid ’s face flushed.
People had commented that she was fat since she was young.
My body is just like that.
I have no choice.

Which woman wouldn ’t like to be beautiful? But I am unable to slim down.

The fat palace maid was sad to the point that tears threatened to fall from the rim of her eyes.

At this moment, Su Xi-er walked to her side and patted her shoulder.
”Some people are fat and unhealthy.
You, however, are very st.u.r.dy.
You have sufficient strength to work and your body wouldn ’t collapse.
Instead of seeing this as a flaw, treat it as your unique strength. ”

The fat palace maid ’s tears flickered and she sniffled.
”I don ’t need you to pretend to be kind.
You can just ridicule me directly for being fat. ”

”It ’s just you deriding yourself for being fat, not others. ” Su Xi-er then turned around and entered the room, Hong Li following closely behind without minding the stares of others.

Right now, everyone was aware that Hong Li was already on the same side as Su Xi-er.

They were all starting to hesitate.
Should we learn from Hong Li?
