Chapter 105 The Beginning of the Awakening Path

In the early morning, the sun, like golden threads, generously streamed down upon the specially designated training grounds of the imperial harem, shimmering with brilliance. A wide array of brand-new, comprehensive sports equipment lay neatly arranged, gleaming enchantingly in the brilliant light, like soldiers awaiting inspection. However, in stark contrast to this beauty, a group of concubines stood by, drooping like frost-bitten flowers, their faces shrouded in sorrow.

"What the hell is this? How can we women endure this kind of torture!" A concubine frowned and complained coquettishly. Her clear eyes looked at the barbell and jump rope in front of her, filled with disgust and resistance. At this moment, she was filled with regret and just wanted this torturous moment to end quickly.

"That's right! This is practically pushing us into a dead end!" Another concubine echoed, her voice filled not only with resistance but also with a hint of anger. She lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering, as she secretly plotted how to avoid this relentless training.

Some concubines had already collapsed, sitting on the ground like a puddle of mud, gasping for breath and muttering non-stop: "Oh, my body can't stand this kind of torture, it's almost killing me!" Others hid in the corner, lowering their voices and muttering through gritted teeth: "I don't know which fool came up with this dirty trick, deliberately trying to embarrass us."

Concubine Su gazed upon the chaotic scene, feeling a surge of helplessness, but her unwavering faith remained as unshakable as a rock. She gracefully approached a concubine slumped on the ground, knelt gracefully, and spoke softly, "Don't be afraid, sister. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we persevere, we will surely achieve something. In the past, our dynasty had a virtuous concubine who entered the palace with frail health. Through diligent training, she eventually gained strength and was able to remain at the emperor's side for a long time. We train now, too, for our own health, so that we can better serve the emperor and continue the royal family."

The concubine raised her head, looked at Concubine Su with tears in her eyes, and cried aggrievedly: "My Lady Concubine, I am really powerless!"

Concubine Su smiled slightly, gently pulled up her hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's take it one step at a time. Let's wait and see. Once we have trained well, we will surely shine in this harem."

Then, she moved to the side of another concubine who was muttering quietly, listened attentively to her complaints, and then gently but firmly advised: "Sisters, as we are in the harem, we should have strong bodies and strong wills. Only in this way can we better serve the emperor and bring glory to the royal family. Although this training is difficult, once we endure it, there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Think about the empress dowager of the previous dynasty. It was because she practiced martial arts since childhood that she was able to overcome dangers in the palace struggles and eventually become the mother of the country. If we can persist in training, there is no need to worry about not having a chance to succeed."

With Concubine Su's patient consolation, the concubines' emotions calmed down a little, but there was still confusion and hesitation in their eyes.

At this point, Concubine Su knew that actions were better than words. She lightly stepped over to the barbell, took a deep breath, gripped it tightly with her delicate hands, bit her teeth, and began to lift with all her might. Instantly, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead like pearls from a broken string, soaking her clothes, and her gorgeous palace dress clung to her body. She felt every muscle tremble, aching like a tide, her breathing became rapid and heavy, and her heartbeat was like a drum beating violently in her chest. But her eyes were as firm as a torch, her teeth clenched, and every effort seemed to be a stubborn struggle against fate. Her stubborn appearance was like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, moving and touching.

"Your Highness, please take a rest! Don't hurt yourself!" A concubine couldn't help but exclaimed, her voice full of concern and worry.

Noble Concubine Su acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued to persevere. Her face was slightly distorted by the effort, but her unyielding expression seemed to speak of endless determination.

Finally, Concubine Su successfully completed a set of movements. She slowly put down the barbell, panting. But she didn't rest for a moment and went straight to the skipping rope area. Her light body danced with the dance of the rope.

The concubines were deeply moved by Concubine Su's fearless perseverance, and sparks of hope gradually ignited in their originally dim eyes.

"We can't let the Imperial Concubine suffer alone!" A concubine raised her arms and shouted, her voice clear and firm.

"Yes, let's go together!" Everyone responded in unison, and the sound was like a passionate war song.

The palace was steeped in numerous rules and traditions. Women were considered beautiful for their delicateness and gentleness, and considered masters of needlework, chess, calligraphy, and painting. This sudden physical training was undoubtedly a significant shock to these traditions. The concubines, trained from childhood, viewed this training as a loss of dignity and grace, fearing they would lose the emperor's favor. However, Concubine Su knew that only by breaking these outdated notions could the women of the harem become stronger physically and mentally, enabling them to navigate the treacherous world of the imperial court.

So, the concubines stood up, cast aside their previous laziness and resistance, and threw themselves back into the training. Although sweat continued to pour down like rain and their bodies were still exhausted, there was a glimmer of determination in each of their eyes and an unyielding courage surged in their hearts.

On this sunny morning, the harem's awakening journey begins grandly.
