Still not adapted enough

Huifen woke me up really early in the morning. I was about to complain, but then I remembered that today is the day when we go see the emperor's coffin.

Because that's all we're going to see. They closed his coffin on the first day.

Probably to hide the cause of his death.

I should prepare my knees. Otherwise I will die from the kneeling.

I slowly got up from the bed, I was still feeling sleepy.

Since I came here I really had a bad time sleeping at night.

Especially because imperial palace is turbulent at this moment.

You never know when are you going to die.

And I prefer not to die.

I already experienced that already.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I really miss the modern toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Also my forty steps skin care routine.

Nooo, I started to remember all the modern stuff that I miss already.

My phone.

And the flushing toilet.

Yes, I liked to read historical novels in my free time, but I never wanted to transmigrate into some ancient period.

It's really inconvenient when you are used to some things and then you suddenly get deprived of them.

I usually adapt to new situations fast.

But now I just feel like fish out of water.

How did all those transmigrators get used to their new circumstances so fast?

Did the books lie to me?

Having the memories of the previous body owner helped a little, but it's not like I experienced those things.

It's more like seeing an montage of someone's life. Like a movie.

That doesn't make me an ancient woman immediately.

I was brought up differently. I didn't have strict set of rules to follow.

I lived in age when technology was booming.

I guess I still need time to adapt.

I can't just flip the switch in my head and pretend everything is alright.

I wasn't alright.

I was scared inside.

I took a deep breath and cleared my thoughts. I did not have a time for moping.

I need to get ready.

Huifen and Chunhua helped to put a dress on me. It was a plain white mourning dress.

They also arranged my hair for me.

Even though I was wearing such a plain attire, I still saw great beauty reflected in the mirror.

Li Suyin's face is the greatest.

I guess I reaped some benefits after all.

I got young body and great face.

Hehehe.

I was ready, so I went to see my aunt. Then I had to wait for her to get ready.

There were few concubines, whom she managed under her, sitting in her parlor and drinking tea while they were waiting for her.

They looked at me when I walked in.

I guess this is the first time that they had a chance to properly see how I look like.

There was five of them.

All older than me.

I didn't know who they are.

And I really didn't care.

They should all be unfavoured like my aunt.

Probably.

And anyway old emperor died.

Unless they have a children, they are going to be shipped off to guard imperial tomb.

Which was also supposed to be my fate.

But I guess my aunt have different plans for me, she will never let me waste away.

I'm still useful bargaining chip.

I should really be glad to have my looks.

Anyway, those ladies were giving me scornful looks filled with schadenfreude.

I just hope they don't inconvenience me.

I don't want to have headache this early in the morning.

Hey, can someone send me some ibuprofen?

I would be a forever grateful for it~
