After Shen Wangshu's coaxing, the old emperor finally agreed to let her stay in Yetinghua for a while and learn from the girl Haitang.
But the only requirement was that she had to bring a few more people to serve her, live in the backyard, and come back early after school.
Shen Wangshu agreed to this without even thinking about it. She had been thinking about how to leave the palace these days, and this opportunity was a godsend.
Two days later, Shen Wangshu took Lianzhi and several maids from her palace out of the palace.
This time they were going to travel in a low-key manner, so Shen Wangshu and his companions dressed very simply, especially Shen Wangshu, who not only dressed simply but also wore a veil on his face.
They were escorted throughout the entire process by guards who were also dressed in low-key clothes. The manager of Yetinghua naturally also received the news and was waiting at the back door early.
It is a great honor for the current Concubine Shu to come here in person to learn dancing.
Although their Ye Ting Hua has always prided itself on being elegant and has received countless literati, dignitaries and nobles, they have never received a noble from the palace, let alone such a distinguished one.
They must fawn over it!
So, that night, Shen Wangshu, led by Mother Liang, came to an extremely quiet and elegant garden, where various flowers, plants and trees were planted, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
"Madam Shu..., this is the room I have prepared for you."
Mother Liang pointed to one of the rooms and said with a smile, "This is the courtyard where you will live in the future. The furnishings inside are arranged according to your preferences."
Shen Wangshu walked in and looked at the layout of the room. He had to admit that they were very thoughtful.
She nodded in satisfaction, then opened her red lips and said, "Lianzhi, give the gift to Mother Liang."
The voice is lazy and the tone is soft.
"yes."
Lian Zhi responded respectfully, took out a small box from his bundle, opened it a little, and handed it to Madam Liang. "This is a small gift from my wife. Please accept it, Madam Liang."
When Mother Liang took it, she was stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed and kept thanking him.
"Thank you, Madam, for the reward."
"Lianzhi, go pack your things first. I want to talk to Mother Liang."
Shen Wangshu waved his hand, signaling Lian Zhi that he could leave.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Lian Zhi left, Shen Wangshu turned and looked at Mother Liang beside him, his eyes soft and a smile on his lips, "Mother Liang, I am leaving the palace in a low-key manner this time, so I don't want anyone to know my true identity.
Also, starting tomorrow I will be learning dancing from Miss Haitang. Madam Liang, you don't have to call me Madam anymore. Just call me Miss Shu. I wonder if Madam Liang can do that?"
Madam Liang immediately nodded and said, "Please Madam...Oh no, Miss Shu, don't worry, I will never reveal it to anyone."
"Well, I'll trouble you, Mother Liang."
Shen Wangshu smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Seeing such a beauty, Mother Liang couldn't help swallowing a few times, secretly complaining in her heart: This Madam Shu is really beautiful. No wonder His Majesty couldn't forget her after seeing her once, and even went so far as to snatch her away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
That afternoon, Shen Wangshu, led by Mother Liang, visited the famous Miss Haitang.
Miss Haitang's original surname was Zhou and her name was Tang. It was said that she came to Yetinghua by herself after her parents died and she had nowhere to go. Because she had learned dancing since she was young and had quite attainments in dancing, she was able to become very successful in Yetinghua in just three years.
When Shen Wangshu arrived in front of Haitang, she was playing the piano. A pleasant sound of the piano slowly came out, and the listeners felt excited.
And the most mysterious thing is that she always wears a veil and no one knows what she really looks like.
"Miss Haitang."
Shen Wangshu curled his lips slightly at her, then sat directly opposite her.
Haitang raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Wangshu, then continued to stroke the strings, as if she didn't react much to Shen Wangshu's arrival.
Shen Wangshu was not annoyed, but poured himself a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
Haitang played very melodiously, and Shen Wangshu enjoyed her performance while sipping tea.
As expected of being one of the top performers in the Night Court, her piano playing is completely different from others, with a sense of agility and freshness that is refreshing and pleasant.
Perhaps it was Shen Wangshu's performance that piqued Haitang's interest. She suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at her.
"Girl, since you have such a stunning appearance, why do you need to come to Ye Ting Hua to learn how to please men?"
Shen Wangshu took a sip of tea from the teacup, then chuckled and shook his head, "To survive, you have to use some tricks."
This was said very bluntly. Haitang frowned slightly. "The girl's temperament is incompatible with this, but her thoughts do coincide with it."
Her eyes fell on the bustling street scene outside the window, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth. "But why would a girl of your beauty come to such a filthy place to suffer?"
Shen Wangshu glanced at her lightly and said nothing.
She certainly knew her beauty, but so what?
If a person eats the same thing every day, he will get tired of it even if it is the most delicious food.
What's more, her real purpose in coming here was to hook up with Prince Chen, because only he could help her get revenge.
"I'm not a pure and noble person, so how can I talk about whether I'm dirty or not?"
Shen Wangshu put down the teacup in his hand and asked her with a smile, "I wonder if Miss Haitang is willing to teach me how to dance?"
Haitang was slightly startled, then shifted her gaze from the scenery outside to her. "Okay, young lady, your personality is quite to my liking. In that case, I will agree to your request. This way, I will have an explanation for everything to Mother Liang. Young lady, please come over at noon tomorrow."
"Thank you very much, Miss Haitang."
Shen Wangshu nodded slightly, then stood up and walked out the door.
In the next few days, Shen Wangshu followed Haitang to learn dance seriously.
In her spare time, she also studied the structure of the Night Garden Flower thoroughly, including knowing exactly which private rooms were reserved for dignitaries.
Finally, on the ninth day after Shen Wangshu came, she heard from the maids here that Prince Chen and his men had returned to the capital.
I heard that he came back at 3 p.m., and as soon as he came back, he went to the palace to meet the emperor. And it seems that he will bring his subordinates to Yetinghua tonight to broaden their horizons.
Shortly after Shen Wangshu heard the news, she received a message from the palace asking her to return to the palace the next day.
Because tomorrow the imperial court will hold a welcoming banquet for Prince Chen and his entourage, and she must be present at such an occasion.
