Chapter 669 - Title is the Spoiler! (1/2)
A month went by just like that. During the past month, Zhao Ming focused on her training. Even though it was extremely hard at first and her body and mind almost gave up, however, Ji Cheng's support and Aunt Shen Jia's nagging helped her to go through that indecisive period.
Now she was more or less used to that hellish training. Since Ji Cheng is also busy with his palace affairs, she doesn't bother him much and goes to train herself with Feng Ju. Since he doesn't want her to go alone, he sends Feng Ju to help her during her training.
Not only that, but she was also receiving meditation training from Aunt Shen Jia. She has to meditate for hours for at least 2-3 days a week. She wants her to not only be physically strong but mentally as well.
Her body has changed a lot since she has started training. She can't believe that only a month's training can bring so much change in her. Her body has become toned and she can see abs lining on her abdomen as well. She not only has lost her fat but also gained some muscles on top of that.
If she was in her time, she could wear s.e.xy revealing bikinis to show off her body. But too bad, she can't do that here.
The clothes cover her from head to toe. Now since the weather has turned cold, she has to wear more layers over her normal clothes.
Since this area is more open and was surrounded by greenery, it was colder than it was in the city. In the city there were large buildings and the increasing pollution has reduced the coldness during the winter. However, it was not the case here.
It was so cold that she can't even bear to step out of her bed, leave alone the training outside in this cold weather. However, she has to do that, she has no option. There are no thermal blankets or heaters to keep her warm. The handmade woolen clothes are better than she had expected but she still feels the need for the heater.
Out of three months, one month has already ended. She needs to focus on finding the thing which Shen Jia has told her.
After her morning training, she was now sitting in her room with a rough dusky paper and a wooden in her hand. There was an ink bottle placed on the table in front of her.
She jotted down all the important things that she had seen in her dreams until now. Surprisingly, she didn't get many dreams of her past in the last months. She did see a few sometimes but they were all similar to her previous dreams.
In those dreams, she sneaks out of the palace to look for Yuan Song and makes excuses to talk to him. Sometimes she was just staring at him from afar.
Whenever she has such dreams, she just can't help but smile. It was so heart fluttering that it felt like she was watching a romantic movie.
She tapped the tip of the wooden stick on the paper as she murmured, ” What could be that thing? Since it is a thing, it should be materialistic, right? Is it like Cinderella's glass shoe? Or Harry Potter's magic wand?” She thought while trying to remember what kind of important things were used in those stories.
”Argh... it's so hard. How can I resolve this mystery of hundreds of years ago?”
After some time, she laid on the table with her hand stretched out, looking lifeless. It's too difficult.
” Oh!” She was looking at nowhere when her eyes fell on a certain painting that was hung on the wall.
It was not Zhao Ming's painting but Ji Cheng's Grandmother's painting. However, there was something in that painting that caught her attention.
