After a broken heart, I traveled through time and space and became an abandoned concubine. My fate i

Time flies. It has been more than half a year since the new regulations were reformed, and the day has finally arrived for the concubines to undergo body fitness management assessment.

On this sunny day, Concubine Su, dressed in gorgeous attire, sat dignified in the palace. Before her lay a register recording the concubines' physical figures and daily performance. The concubines had been waiting outside the palace early, each one anxiously unsure of the results of their six months of hard work.

The first to enter the hall was Concubine Xin. She moved with graceful steps, each step exuding elegance and confidence. Dressed in a pale pink palace dress, its form-fitting silhouette accentuated her slender waist and slender figure. Her delicate features, bright and lively, her lips curled upward in a perfectly composed smile, like a blooming peach blossom.

Concubine Xin's heart was pounding like a deer. She knew that she had put so much effort into managing her body, not only to stand out in the harem, but also to secure a place in the emperor's heart. She silently prayed, "May the Imperial Concubine see my efforts and allow me to continue to have a foothold in this harem."

In the ancient imperial court, a woman's physical beauty wasn't isolated; it was closely tied to the norms of etiquette. Concubine Xin was deeply aware that her every move must conform to the standards of imperial etiquette, and that a graceful figure could only project a noble aura. She not only diligently trained daily but also meticulously studied court etiquette, striving for perfection in every movement, showcasing the demeanor of a royal family.

Imperial Concubine Su carefully examined Concubine Xin, her eyes gleaming with admiration. She smiled and said, "Sister Xin, I've witnessed your hard work over the past six months. Look at your figure; its proportions are perfect, your waist is slender yet powerful, and your posture is light and dignified. Judging from the data, your weight and body fat percentage are both within the ideal range, and all your body measurements are perfect. Your skin is firm and radiant, demonstrating your diligent daily exercise and maintenance. Even more remarkable, your manners and demeanor conform to the norms of court etiquette, perfectly blending the beauty of your figure with the elegance of etiquette. I'm very pleased and rate you as excellent. I'm bestowing upon you a pair of pearl bracelets and ten pieces of brocade."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xin's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. She knelt slightly in greeting, her voice clear and pleasant, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely continue to do this. Everything I do is to better serve the Emperor and bring glory to the harem."

Next came Concubine Yao, her expression tense and her steps heavy. Though naturally beautiful, she had neglected exercise over the past six months, leaving her figure somewhat bloated. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Concubine Su's gaze. Her hands clutched the corners of her clothes, her heart filled with regret and fear.

Yao Fei thought to herself, "How could I have indulged myself like this? Now that things are in this state, I wonder how the Imperial Concubine will deal with me."

Concubine Su frowned slightly and said, "Concubine Yao, you've been a bit slack in the past six months. Looking at your figure, you're overweight, with a high body fat percentage and noticeable excess fat around your waist and abdomen. Your skin is also a little loose, and your complexion is off, likely due to a lack of exercise and a regular sleep schedule. You've failed this assessment. In the palace, managing your figure is not only about your own beauty, but also about the palace's image. Effective immediately, your allowance will be reduced by half. I hope you'll take this as a warning and work harder in the future."

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Concubine Yao's eyes. She sobbed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was feeling unwell and depressed recently, so I neglected my exercise. I will definitely work hard in the future. Please give me another chance."

Concubine Su said solemnly, "I don't mean to be harsh on you. However, this body management concerns your own health and demeanor, and even more so, the morals of the palace. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

Next in came Concubine Min, who had a well-proportioned figure, firm skin, and bright, spirited eyes. She walked with a light, graceful gait and a confident smile on her face, like a flower blooming in spring.

Concubine Min secretly congratulated herself for her persistence and hard work, thinking, "I must continue to maintain this and not let all my hard work go to waste."

Concubine Su nodded with satisfaction. "Sister Minfei, you've performed well. Your figure is well-proportioned, your muscles are firm and elastic, and your posture is elegant and natural. All your stats are within the excellent range, and you're in good health. You always manage your exercise time wisely and maintain a balanced diet. Your wisdom and perseverance are commendable. Even more valuable is your ability to combine the beauty of your figure with your talent, showcasing a unique charm. Keep up the good work, and I'll reward you with a jade ruyi."

Concubine Min bowed gracefully in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand that only by maintaining a good figure can I serve the Emperor and Your Majesty in better condition and add glory to the harem."

Lan Fei came slowly, tall and slender, with a cool and cool temperament. Her steps were steady, and her eyes were full of determination, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, independent and tenacious.

Concubine Su looked at her and said, "Concubine Lan, your tall and slender figure is a natural advantage. But you must pay attention to maintaining muscle firmness and avoid excessive weight loss. Your collarbone is slightly prominent, so you should increase your nutritional intake appropriately. This assessment is good, and I grant you a pair of jade earrings. In court etiquette, a slender figure must be accompanied by dignified behavior to fully demonstrate elegance. I hope you will pay more attention to this in the future."

Concubine Lan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will pay attention to adjusting my diet and exercise."

Concubine Rong walked into the palace. She was plump and round, yet charming. There was always a gentle smile on her face, and kindness in her eyes, just like a pool of warm spring water.

Noble Consort Su said, "Rong Fei, your figure is well-rounded and full of feminine charm. However, you should pay attention to weight control and avoid obesity. Your ankles are slightly swollen, so you should increase leg exercises. This assessment is average. I hope you will exercise more in the future. I will reward you with five pieces of silk and satin. In the palace, the beauty of the body should follow the principle of moderation; too much is as bad as too little."

Concubine Rong bowed and said, "I will remember your Majesty's teachings and will work hard to improve."

......

After the concubines finished their evaluations, Imperial Concubine Su stood up and said, "Sisters, managing your body shape isn't a one-time effort; it requires long-term persistence. I'm very pleased to see that some of you have improved your figures through hard work, becoming more confident, walking with your heads held high and your chest puffed out, and your demeanor becoming more refined. And for those sisters who are temporarily lagging behind, don't be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you will definitely improve."

Concubine Su paused and continued, "Take me for example. I often reflect on myself. Seeing the sisters with their graceful demeanor and charming demeanor, each with an enviable figure, I secretly remind myself not to fall behind and to continue working hard to maintain my best condition. In this palace, physical beauty and cultural etiquette complement each other. We should not only pursue external beauty, but also cultivate inner virtues to live up to the dignity and elegance of the palace."

At this time, Concubine Xin spoke up, "Your Majesty is too modest. Your Majesty's posture is absolutely perfect, and you are a role model for us concubines to emulate. Not only are you excellent yourself, but you also care deeply about us concubines and provide us with careful guidance. We concubines are deeply grateful."

The other concubines also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, your figure is elegant and your temperament is noble. We can't even compare to you."

Concubine Su smiled and waved her hand, "Sisters, please don't praise me so much. I just hope that everyone can pay attention to their health and serve the emperor with a better attitude, adding glory to the harem."

Concubine Jing, who diligently manages her figure, said, "Since I've been focusing on physical exercise, not only has my figure become more beautiful, but my mentality has also changed. I used to be sentimental and felt inferior to others in every way, but now I'm full of confidence and feel more motivated to do anything."

Wanpin, who had previously been lax in her management, said, "I was too lazy before, always finding all sorts of excuses to avoid exercising. Seeing the changes in my sisters, I realized how far behind I was. Now I have come to my senses. From now on, I will definitely learn from my sisters, work hard to improve my figure, and no longer bring shame to the harem."

Concubine Hui, who has always maintained a good figure, said: "In fact, as long as you develop a habit and persist in exercising, it is not difficult. Seeing myself getting better and better, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable."

After hearing this, the concubines who were not in good shape secretly made up their minds to exercise more.

As the days passed, the concubines in the harem paid more attention to body management.

In the early mornings, concubines could often be seen exercising in the garden. Some, like graceful swallows, practiced yoga, stretching their bodies with steady, deep breathing; others, like nimble butterflies, skipped rope, their figures dancing gracefully; and some, like determined walkers, jogged, sweat soaking their foreheads, yet persevering.

The pavilions and towers of the harem were filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers and the breath of the concubines' hard work. The palace with carved beams and painted buildings, reflected by the sun, looked even more magnificent, as if witnessing the transformation of the concubines.

In the afternoon, the concubines gathered to share their experiences. Concubine Hui shared how she improved her posture by adjusting her sitting and standing posture. As she demonstrated, she said, "Sisters, always keep your chest up and your stomach in. This not only makes your figure more graceful, but also enhances your temperament. Just like a tall, green bamboo, it stands proudly regardless of wind or rain. Palace etiquette has strict rules for both sitting and standing posture. We must always pay attention and never slack off."

Xiang Fei shared her own experience in controlling her diet: "Eating less sweets and greasy foods, and more fruits and vegetables, can not only maintain a good figure but also be beneficial to health. It's like nurturing a flower; it needs careful care to bloom beautifully. The imperial court's meals also have their own rules, and we should follow them to maintain good health and a beautiful figure."

Even in the evenings, the concubines in their own palaces did not forget to exercise. Concubine Rui was doing simple stretching exercises in her room. She said softly, "After a busy day, a little exercise can relieve fatigue and promote sleep. Just like the stars in the night sky, though tiny, they can illuminate the darkness. In this palace, the quiet of the night is also a good time to cultivate the body and mind. We should make good use of it."

Receiving praise and rewards from Concubine Su, Concubine Xin worked even harder. Not only did she exercise daily, she also consulted the palace physician for advice on maintaining her health, developing a more balanced exercise plan tailored to her individual constitution. Her figure became increasingly refined, her status within the palace rose, and she gained even more favor from the Emperor.

After the setback of the assessment, Concubine Yao learned her lesson and started exercising every day. She stopped being lazy and strictly followed the prescribed movements and time for training. Gradually, she got rid of the excess fat and became slimmer.

Concubine Min combined body management with her own talents. When practicing dance, she paid more attention to the beauty of her posture, which brought her dancing skills to a higher level.

In order to maintain her cool temperament, Lan Fei chose some more soothing exercises, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises. In a quiet corner, she closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and allowed her body and mind to relax and nourish.

In the process of controlling her weight, Concubine Rong discovered her perseverance and patience. Not only did her figure become more symmetrical, but her character also became more resilient.

Concubine Su also constantly adjusted her exercise plan and diet. She often exercised with the concubines, encouraging them to supervise each other and make progress together.

At a palace banquet, the emperor and his ministers were amazed by the elegance of the concubines.

Concubine Xin, dressed in a gorgeous dance dress, danced gracefully, her figure like a fairy descending to earth. Every spin and leap she made was perfect, showcasing her superb dancing skills and graceful form. She seemed like a dancer descended from heaven, captivating the audience.

Yao Fei showcased her elegance with a melodious pipa piece. Her posture was upright, her fingers nimble, and the melodious sound of the pipa captivated the audience, as if telling a moving story.

Concubine Min's poetry recitation was full of emotion and grace, and her graceful demeanor captivated everyone. Her voice was clear and melodious, and her emotions were sincere, as if she perfectly captured the artistic conception of the poems, like a talented female poet.

When interacting with other concubines, Concubine Lan behaved with decorum and grace. Her cool and aloof temperament was like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow, independent and admirable.

When Rong Fei served tea to the emperor, her movements were graceful and her manners were elegant. Her gentle smile was like the warm sunshine on a spring day, warm and pleasant.

Concubine Su looked at the outstanding performance of the concubines and felt full of pride.

However, the competition in the harem did not stop because of this, but this competition was no longer just a blind competition caused by jealousy.

Some concubines, observing Concubine Xin's favor, didn't feel jealous, but instead considered how to emulate her success and enhance their own charm. For example, Concubine Qi, observing Concubine Xin's unique talent in combining dance and poetry, decided to study the qin, hoping to showcase her talent at the next banquet.

Concubine Xin sensed the enterprising spirit of the other concubines but did not feel threatened. Instead, she actively communicated and shared with her sisters, exploring together how to combine their respective talents with the beauty of their bodies to showcase the diverse charm of the women in the harem.

Noticing this change, Consort Su summoned the other concubines and said, "Sisters, competition within the harem is no longer the jealousy and hatred of the past. Instead, it's a state of mutual learning and shared progress. This is a blessing for our harem. The beauty of form, the refinement of talent, and the elegance of etiquette should complement each other, thus highlighting the dignity and harmony of our court."

After hearing this, all the concubines nodded to show that they understood.

In such an atmosphere, life in the harem is full of positive competition as well as warmth and harmony.

Concubine Su knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go. She wanted to ensure that this culture of focusing on health, pursuing beauty, and cultivating culture would continue in the harem.
