This cultivation technique is quite useful, but after practicing it, the sweat all over the body is difficult to handle.

While bathing, He Tucai suddenly had an idea: it would be better to practice cultivation directly in the bathtub.

But taking a bath in broad daylight is bound to raise suspicion, and on top of that, this set of cultivation method is inherently exhausting. I'm afraid it can't be practiced day in and day out.

Just as I was considering going out to get some fresh air, the door was pushed open and a pungent, almost nauseating smell immediately filled the entire room.

A group of women, dressed up elaborately, walked in one by one. The maidservant followed behind, her tearful eyes calling out, "The lady is still resting, you can't go in!"

The one leading the way dressed somewhat neatly, at least looking somewhat presentable. The other few were exposing their chests and breasts, as if they wanted to reveal every ounce of their flesh.

"Oh, this Cold Palace is really cool." After a court lady dressed in a green silk dress finished speaking, several people respectfully bowed to Heto in a perfunctory manner.

"What brings you here? I can't say I'm particularly fond of unexpected visitors," Hetu replied to the group of uninvited guests.

Moreover, this group of people looks like troublemakers from the first glance.

"Your Majesty, we are here to stand up for you." The attendant in yellow wiped away invisible tears with a handkerchief. "You have no idea how rampant things have become in the palace since you were banished to this cold palace after the arrival of the newly favored Menglou Sheng'en."

Just by using one's fingertips, one can easily figure out who that newcomer is. There's no way around it, the halo of the main character is just too overwhelming. Who can possibly contend with it?

Hehe.

These women claimed that they wanted him to seek justice on their behalf, but it was actually just an opportunity for them to mock him and see how miserable and pitiful he has become.

"The Empress seems to have become much thinner. Please take good care of your health, Your Majesty."

Yeah, if you keep being overly cautious, you might not even be able to squeeze out of this gate. Every single one of these women has a knife hidden in their words.

"Do I?" He Tu replied evenly.

But it was these few people who were surprised this time. If someone had said something like this in normal circumstances, the hot-tempered empress would have probably flown into a rage and immediately sent them away, right?

Today, to my surprise, I still haven't lost face. Could it be that after entering the cold palace, I have become more understanding?

"Recently, the Emperor bestowed upon me some precious medicinal herbs. How about I give them to you, Empress?"

Those piercing and imposing gazes were tightly fixed on one person, but that person remained as unyielding as Mount Tai.

"I appreciate my younger sister's kind intentions, but it's getting late. You should go back and get some rest. Take care, no need to accompany me." He Tuzheng was already exhausted and now his mind was filled with the content of that book. He didn't have the energy to dwell on the sharp words they were exchanging, one after another.

As a translator of Chinese web novels, I have been asked to translate the following paragraph to English: "等几个人一走，何图问小蟹：'那几个人究竟在想什么？'" Here's the translation:

After a few people had left, He Tu asked Xiao Xie: "What were those people really thinking?"

The little crab had a look as if it wanted to devour someone.

The inner thoughts of those few ladies were: "That chubby guy didn't even bring us a cup of tea."

Surprisingly, they slandered his beloved Da Da as a dead fatso. You guys have no idea how handsome he is! River Crab held onto his fragile, combustible, and explosive little heart and couldn't help but cry in the corner again.

He Tu pressed his forehead, the pain becoming increasingly unbearable...

After enjoying a feast of exquisite delicacies, it is only natural that the most important matter must not be cast aside from one's mind, as one feels the fulfillment of life.

That's earning minced meat value, although he has walked on the edge of a cliff before, this kind of death is really embarrassing.

After a "ding" sound, a system prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.

Can't be true? Can't be true? Can't be true?

Countless possibilities floated through his mind. Which woman had just touched him? The one in red? The one in green? Or the one in yellow?

I swear, it doesn't matter who touches it.

The result is always only one.

Dead, this time I'm dead for sure.

The result, however, was not as he had imagined. Instead, a line of small text popped up, leaving him suddenly relieved.

" '101 Ways to Earn Meat Value: A Guide Sponsored by River Crab 101 ~~~~~~~~~' "

Okay, right now, he really wants to teach Hao Xiaoxie a lesson. He wants to break his legs one by one and dip them in soup before eating them.

"Dada, remember to read this book. I have a lot of work to do, so I'll contact you later~"

Originally, Hetu merely wanted to ask him why he hadn't given him this question before, but Hetu had already guessed the answer.

Maybe I just forgot. Ah, I'm too tired. Ah, Classmate Mei Mei Crab invited me to hang out a few times before, but I forgot. Of course, I also don't know who this Mei Mei is exactly.

"Have you read this book?"

"Yes/No"

After finishing reading, He Tu pushed open the door, only to see two maidservants approaching, frolicking and laughing.

"Why are you getting so close in broad daylight?" He Tu's voice carried a slight air of authority, causing the two maidservants to immediately stop their giggling and kneel down.

"I know my mistake..." They all knew that the Empress had been demoted to the Cold Palace and must be feeling extremely dissatisfied. Sure enough, the calm appearance she had maintained in the past few days was just a facade. Now, she was truly the Empress.

"Alright, step back."

It's so easy to handle it, the outcome is quite favorable.

He Tu lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and waited for the prompt from the system. As the smoke slowly permeated his limbs and body, it felt as if even his soul was being released and uplifted.

When He Tu saw the new addition of a "meat mince value" in the gift shop, he could only force out a bitter smile. If he wanted to buy something else, these few meat mince values were definitely not enough.

The first method to obtain Meat Motes is by breaking off physical contact between the two individuals, resulting in the acquisition of 1 Meat Mote.

After trying it for a few days, he unexpectedly accumulated nearly a hundred points of minced meat value for him. At least now he is out of danger.

I didn't expect that there would be so many guards even in a small cold palace. As a result, they all lectured him from top to bottom, causing a gloomy atmosphere among the people in the palace.

"The Empress is clearly angry but has nowhere to vent her frustration. It's unfortunate for us servants who bear the brunt of it."

The maid Axia, who was assigned to do special chores, secretly whispered to her companion, Aqiu.

"Ah, isn't it because she's been hurt deeply by a man? Poor Empress."

In the future, you must be more vigilant and never marry a man like this!

"What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? Men like this are not someone you can just marry as you wish."

"Yeah, that's true. Oh, by the way, Aqiu," Axiu whispered, "Have you noticed that the Empress has been looking more and more beautiful these past few days?"

Aiqiu leaned in closer and said, "Yes, yes, I also feel that when we used to look at Madam's profile, there were no contours visible. But now we can see them!"

A Xia became increasingly excited: "Yes, that figure is starting to make my heart flutter a little when I look at it now."

"What are you two doing here?" A half-smiling voice came from behind.

Both of them were covered in cold sweat.

"Mother, mother..."

However, the empress seems to be in a good mood, certainly

Because the two of them were speaking kindly, the imperial consort was not so angry.

They certainly wouldn't have thought that their empress, because she earned an extra serving of minced meat, was so happy.
