Just as Princess Zhou was about to lift her foot, Tian Sangui pretended not to see it and, before Princess Zhou could land, instructed Steward He.

"Princess Zhou, it is an honor to have you here. Please invite her to the private room upstairs. Today is our grand opening, and we are offering you a complimentary full-body treatment. We hope you will come upstairs to experience it. If you are not satisfied, you may leave!"

"How dare you! Our Princess Consort's noble status is not to be treated as you wish!"

When Fenling saw Tian Sangui deliberately blocking her way with his words, she immediately felt a surge of anger.

Tian Sangui was scolded by her, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.

"Hahaha, how outrageous! Just because you're a trusted maidservant of the princess, does that give you the right to slander the common people at will?"

"May I ask, did the Princess grant you this right, or did the Emperor grant you this right?"

I thought Tian Sangui was just an ordinary little woman, but I never expected that every word she said would be a major taboo.

Fenling blushed with anger. She was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to answer or not. In desperation, she could only look to her master for help.

To everyone's surprise, Princess Zhou laughed heartily.

"What a sharp little mouth! This is the first time that a maidservant by my side has been rendered speechless by a girl."

"Alright, I'll go upstairs with you to experience it. But if it's even slightly different from what you said, I'll make sure you regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Sangui was not frightened by Princess Zhou's words; instead, he burst into a bright laugh.

"Haha, if that's the case, the princess doesn't need to do it herself. The ladies of the city will take care of the Hefang Rouge Shop for her."

"Besides, this humble woman has no reason to try to be clever and charming with the noble ladies of Fuzhou and ruin her own livelihood!"

"snort!"

Princess Zhou secretly admired Tian Sangui's spirit; his fearlessness at such a young age was quite enviable.

As Princess Zhou went upstairs, two maids brushed past Tian Sangui and stared at him, their faces filled with resentment.

Tian Sangui didn't take it to heart and turned to follow behind the princess.

After he disappeared, the female guests in the lobby began to whisper among themselves, "Isn't there going to be some good stuff to watch?"

"I hope Princess Zhou is dissatisfied and then smashes up her shop!"

"Why?"

"Aren't you...the proprietress of Liu's Rouge Shop across the street?"

The woman, recognized, quickly covered her face and ran back to her shop, refusing to come out again.

"No wonder she was so eager for the other person to be punished!"

On the second floor, in the innermost luxurious room, was a place that Tian Sangui used to receive distinguished guests. Unexpectedly, it was put into use on the very first day of business.

In Princess Zhou's eyes, it was just a little cleaner than the outside.

Tian Sangui pointed to the soft bed, "Please lie down, Your Highness!"

Princess Zhou was unusually cooperative, and with the help of her maid, she slowly lay down.

Tian Sangui sat in front, turning the hot and cold water valves with both hands. As she watched, water rose continuously in the smooth porcelain trough, causing the two maids to gasp in surprise, their unladylike postures exposed in front of Tian Sangui.

Fortunately, Tian Sangui didn't take the two of them seriously and focused wholeheartedly on his work.

After feeling the water temperature to a comfortable level, I took out the makeup remover oil and put three drops into the sink.

He wrung out a face towel and gently wiped Princess Zhou's face.

The soft bed, the comfortable massage, and the warm water all helped Princess Zhou drift off to sleep.

Tian Sangui's hands were not idle; he skillfully removed the elaborate makeup from Princess Zhou's face, revealing her original complexion.

My complexion was dull and yellowish, and because my acne wasn't treated professionally, it left me with a lot of acne scars.

This is the rouge bestowed by the royal family, a luxury that ordinary people and high-ranking officials could not match.

In Tian Sangui's eyes, it was nothing special.

When Fenling Weilan saw her princess's true form appear, Fenling, being impatient, was about to come up and loudly scold Tian Sangui.

Wei Lan, quick-witted and agile, stopped her in time and silently shook her head.

Fenling finally regained her senses. Downstairs, Tian Sangui's words left her speechless, causing the princess to sacrifice herself to relieve her worries.

Now that the princess is fast asleep, what if Tian Sangui tries to frame her again? Do I have a plan to deal with that?

Are we supposed to wake up the princess to help this maid out of this predicament?

Forget it, let's bear with it for now. Once the princess wakes up, she will deal with this arrogant fellow.

Unaware of Fen Ling's murderous gaze behind him, Tian Sangui calmly took out a mask for removing acne scars, took a spoonful of fine purple powder from the bamboo tube, added special aloe vera gel, added an appropriate amount of warm water, and quickly stirred it in a porcelain bowl.

Continue until it forms a mud-like consistency, then gently and evenly apply it to Princess Zhou's face, avoiding the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The face mask needed time to wait, so Tian Sangui took out a jade roller from a small drawer, along with a moisturizing ointment for acne scars. He then soaked the jade roller in the ointment, ready for use.

At this moment, Madam Feng, who had just finished her facial, came downstairs with her sisters.

The delicate, translucent collagen-rich skin allows each lady to confidently and charmingly appear before the public.

"Wow!"

"So beautiful!"

"I'm so envious!"

He garnered a lot of envy and praise.

Their vanity was instantly filled, and they secretly promised that they would definitely come to the He Fang Rouge Shop often.

Upon seeing Steward He come up to greet her, Madam Feng looked around but could not find Tian Sangui.

Where is your manager?

"Reporting to Madam, the manager is currently receiving Princess Zhou and is afraid he will not be able to come out to greet and see off the ladies for the time being!"

Madam Feng and her sisters behind her were both terrified.

Unexpectedly, Tian Sangui's rouge shop attracted someone of Zhou Wangfei's status.

She's really daring to host guests; she could easily ruin her own career if she's not careful. Sigh!

The ladies all sighed inwardly, hoping that Tian Sangui could get through this ordeal smoothly. With the status of Princess Zhou, it was not something they could interfere with.

"Let her keep busy, we're all familiar with each other, no need to be polite!"

"Once your manager is done with her work, tell her that we sisters will be coming again in a couple of days!"

"Yes, madam. I will certainly convey your message. Farewell, ladies. I look forward to welcoming you back next time!"

On the second floor, Tian Sangui finished his work and saw that the moisture from the face mask on Princess Zhou's face had been completely absorbed.

Before it dried, she easily removed the formed face mask. Under the two maids' gazes as if watching a magical spell, their princess's dull and sallow face became moist and radiant.

Although it still has a yellowish tint, it was definitely brighter than before, and the skin was plump and supple, which made them envious.

Unexpectedly, this girl whom they looked down upon actually had quite a few skills to rely on.

Both of them watched with anticipation, witnessing a miracle.

Tian Sangui was focused on his work, and the jade wheel in his hand landed on one of Princess Zhou's cheeks, slowly rolling and gently pushing the ointment to each acne scar.

Soon, his face, covered in ointment, revealed only his nostrils as he breathed.

She whispered in Princess Zhou's ear, gently instructing her, "Princess, please do not open your eyes or mouth. You can move freely after the cleanup is complete."

Although Princess Zhou did not speak, her tightly closed eyes rolled back and forth, which was considered her reply to Tian Sangui.
