Yan Miaoling instantly became possessed by a dramatic spirit and threw herself into Shen Aoshan's arms, "Sister, the Second Miss and Taohong don't believe that we are sworn sisters. They insist that I am a maid and deliberately spread rumors in front of the Madam and the Miss. Wuwuwu..."
"You——" Shen Jingqi was furious at her ability to lie with her eyes open.
The attention of the people around them was diverted, all focused on the stunningly beautiful Shen Aoshan. "Is this fairy-like figure in flowing white the eldest daughter of the Shen family who was said to have been placed on the farm since she was a child? I never thought she could be this beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, she is even more beautiful than Princess Helian, who ranks first on the beauty list!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Why are you mentioning her for no reason? Do you need to be taught a lesson?" An older sister scolded her younger sister.
My sister stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm just telling the truth..."
"Forget what your mother taught you. Don't be so careless in public. Hurry, grab your clothes and leave!"
The innocent sister was dragged away.
Seeing that the effect was almost there, Shen Aoshan frowned, full of the majesty of an elder sister, "Second sister, it's fine if you don't respect me, the eldest sister who came back from the village! How can you even humiliate my sworn sister? You know, Ling'er is my master Liu Shengnan's adopted daughter, and has always been a treasure in her hands. Aren't you afraid of offending my senior brother Bai Muchen by treating Ling'er like this?"
I prayed in my heart: Master, you are so open-minded, do you mind if I adopt you as my adopted daughter? Don't blame me, I will take Ling'er with me to the grave to pay homage to you in the future and burn more paper for you. (Quite naughty)
Oh shit!
Yan Miaoling, who was standing aside watching the fun, really wanted to kneel down to Shen Aoshan.
As expected of the heroine's brains, her words of admonishment to her younger sister not only legitimized her identity, so that the ladies would no longer worry about clothes, but also revealed her own hidden identity, thus enhancing her value and status in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
Awesome!
Bai Muchen is known to everyone in the capital.
The emperor also favors him and will not easily make enemies with him. After all, he has a mother with a powerful background and superb medical skills. He can offend anyone but not the medical profession.
Young women were even more different. Many secretly had a crush on Bai Muchen, because he was not only a skilled doctor with a promising future, but also possessed a cool and elegant appearance, ranking second only to Xuanyuan Mingchen on the list of handsome men in the capital.
It was Miss Li who spoke for everyone, "Miss Shen, could it be that your master is the renowned Divine Doctor Liu Shengnan?"
Shen Aoshan nodded modestly, "Exactly!" Then, she casually took out a few modern-day facial masks from her bosom and said, "This is a homemade whitening mask that Aoshan inherited from her master's medical beauty techniques. If you ladies don't mind, you can take it home and try it first. If you like it, come back to Aoshan for more."
Chen Aoshan is beautiful, humble, and has good judgment. She has the title of Princess Chen and the support of senior brothers like Bai Muchen, which instantly makes everyone like her.
They took the masks and kept thanking her, having long forgotten about investigating Yan Miaoling's identity.
Tao Hong was so angry that she pulled Shen Jingqi's clothes in the dark, but she didn't expect Shen Jingqi to slap her in the face. "Bitch! It was because I believed your rumors that I misunderstood Miss Ling'er. Why don't you apologize to Ling'er and all the ladies!"
Tao Hong was surprised, aggrieved, and incredulous. "Miss, I..." Her lover was dead, and she hated Yan Miaoling to the core. How could she be willing to bow to her? But when she saw the warning in Shen Jingqi's eyes, she shuddered with fear.
She couldn't offend anyone but the Second Miss and the First Madam, so she immediately bowed to all the ladies and the First Madam, "I'm sorry, I caused you all to misunderstand. It's Taohong's fault. I'm sorry, Miss Ling'er, I'm shortsighted and didn't understand the situation. I'm sorry..."
Yan Miaoling had to be magnanimous, "It's okay, just be more careful next time!"
Taohong stared at her angrily, thinking that this was the end, but Yan Miaoling refused to let her go. She smiled and said, "But I want to remind you, Taohong, you are just a maid. There is no need to look down on this group. Otherwise, it will disappoint all the sisters!" She looked at the servants behind the ladies.
These words really made these maids hate Taohong.
Later on, it became a clothing and beauty exchange conference. Some people asked Yan Miaoling questions about clothes and accessories, while others consulted Shen Aoshan about details related to beauty and skincare. In short, most of the conversations ended in good faith.
However, this incident made Yan Miaoling realize a problem. In ancient times, class was very strict. Status was not only useful for men, but also for women.
After asking around for a while, she finally found a place suitable for her to study, which was the Women's College in the capital.
The Women's Academy was reportedly founded by the founding empress of the Great Zhao Dynasty. Its purpose was to provide a venue for learning skills such as poetry, etiquette, calligraphy, painting, housekeeping, and accounting. This provided equal opportunities for self-improvement for both noble ladies in the capital and ambitious commoners. Through this path, they could earn a certificate and either enter the imperial court as a court lady or... perhaps gain leverage in finding a husband.
In short, it is a place for ordinary girls to gild themselves and a stepping stone for them to succeed.
The late emperor's favorite concubine graduated from this academy. She was chosen as a concubine as a female official, and eventually rose to the position of concubine.
When Shen Aoshan heard that she was going to study, she also wanted to go. Unfortunately, due to her status as Princess Chen, it was no longer possible to go to the academy. She reminded her, "If you encounter any difficulties in there, please let me know immediately. We sisters will advance and retreat together in the future!"
Yan Miaoling touched her face and smiled lewdly, "Okay!"
