She vaguely felt that things were definitely not that simple, so she didn't dare to be negligent.
After a cup of tea, they arrived at their destination.
Inside Begonia Pavilion.
A figure stood in the room, pacing back and forth, looking restless.
In front of the table, there was another familiar figure, Lian Zhi.
"Miss, you're back!"
After seeing Shen Wangshu come in, Lian Zhi hurried over, and Lian Haitang's mood calmed down a little.
She glanced at Shen Wangshu and said, "You are finally here. You must help me this time."
"What happened? Why is Miss Haitang so anxious?" Shen Wangshu smiled at her soothingly.
Haitang gritted her teeth and pointed at her face, "Look!"
As she spoke, she pulled off the veil from her face, revealing a red and swollen face.
Shen Wangshu was slightly surprised when he saw the swollen cheek.
"Miss Haitang, do you have a rash?"
Haitang smiled bitterly, "I ate a piece of peach cake at noon today. Who knew that peach cake was sweet and fragrant, but it was filled with something I can't eat, so my face is like this. The doctor said it will take three to five days to go away."
Shen Wangshu frowned, "This is indeed a bit troublesome."
Especially for people in their line of work, who rely entirely on their looks to make a living, this look is definitely not suitable for meeting people.
"Then Miss Haitang invited me over?" Shen Wangshu asked.
Haitang sighed, "Miss Shu, I have no one else I can trust except you, so I want to ask you for a favor."
"Please speak." Shen Wangshu nodded.
"Miss Shu, can you take my place in the finale dance later?!"
"What?"
Shen Wangshu and Lian Zhi's voices rang out at the same time, and then they exchanged glances.
Let her perform?
This is a technical job, and Haitang is not afraid that she will go up and destroy her reputation.
"no!"
Before Shen Wangshu could speak, Lian Zhi rejected him first.
"Miss Haitang, this won't do. My...my young lady is absolutely not allowed to perform on stage."
As he spoke, Lian Zhi shook his head with a determined look on his face.
At the very least, her daughter was at least a royal concubine. How could she dance in public in a place like this?
No, absolutely not!
If the emperor knew about this, who knows what kind of wrath would be waiting for them.
"I know this is offensive, but I really don't have any other choice at the moment, you see."
As she spoke, she lifted her sleeves again, revealing her red, swollen and mottled arms.
Not only did she have rashes on her face, but her entire body was also covered in them, and they were extremely itchy.
If you go out in this state now, you will scare people to death.
"Besides, the Prince of Chen is here tonight. If I show myself to others in this state, I'm afraid it will offend the Prince. Moreover, Zui Huazhi was specifically requested by the Prince of Chen to see. If I don't do this job well tonight, I'm afraid I will be held responsible.
But Miss Su and I have similar figures, so if she wore a veil, few people would be able to recognize her. Furthermore, Miss Shu has learned this dance quite well in recent times, so asking Miss Shu to perform for me is really a helpless move..."
"It still doesn't work!"
Lianzhi still refused without hesitation. Her face was very solemn, and it seemed that she was considering this issue very seriously.
I'm sorry, she is very selfish. If this matter gets out, her young lady's life will be difficult.
"Okay, I promise!"
Shen Wangshu suddenly spoke.
Lian Zhi was stunned and looked at her in confusion, "Miss, how could you agree to this?"
"Why can't you agree?"
"But..."
"It's nothing, don't worry, Lianzhi, I know what I'm doing."
She patted Lianzhi's hand and gave her a comforting look.
Lianzhi lowered his eyes weakly, "Then I'll go prepare the things for the young lady to go on stage."
She turned and walked out.
Seeing this, Haitang also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Shu, thank you."
"It's just a small favor. I'm glad I can help you." Shen Wangshu smiled at her.
Haitang took a deep breath and continued, "In that case, Miss Shu, please come in with me. I'll take you to change into a new outfit."
"kindness."
After the two entered the inner room, Haitang took out the dance dress she had prepared in advance for tonight and handed it to Shen Wangshu.
Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite dance dress, Shen Wangshu couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Haitang's aesthetic taste is indeed good."
Haitang heard this and smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Shen Wangshu didn’t answer again, but took his clothes and went into the locker room.
Haitang looked at her slender and graceful back. This Miss Shu was really interesting.
After a while, Shen Wangshu changed his clothes and came out.
She was wearing a purple and gold gown, a gold jade belt around her waist, her black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin, and the pearl tassels on her earrings swayed slightly with her steps. Her every frown and movement showed her grace and elegance, and she was truly charming and stunning.
The moment Haitang saw Shen Wangshu come out, she couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, then nodded in approval: "Yeah, not bad."
Then she hung a necklace around Shen Wangshu's neck and put a bracelet on her wrist, "Now it's even more perfect."
The dark red gem necklace hung on her originally smooth neck, contrasting with her snow-white and delicate skin, making her look particularly enchanting and charming.
The red agate jade bracelet also adds a touch of exotic charm to her. The top of the bracelet is inlaid with colorful glass, emitting a dazzling light.
