At first, Lin Yuan didn't think much about how difficult confinement could be, but it wasn't until a few days later that she finally felt the bitterness of it.
In ancient times, people took women's confinement very seriously, especially the ladies of wealthy families.
A month without getting out of bed, without washing up, not even brushing her hair. The room was tightly shut, not a hint of breeze, and she had to eat and drink everything while it was hot; several times she nearly burned her tongue.
Lin Yuan lamented more than once that she was lucky to have her confinement during winter; if it had been summer, she doubted whether she would suffer from heat stroke.
If there's one thing about confinement that Lin Yuan couldn't stand the most, it would be not being able to wash up and bathe.
It was only the third day, yet she already felt that her mouth was about to spoil.
Eating and drinking non-stop every day, without brushing teeth, not having bad breath was a miracle.
