Since moving into Yichunyuan, Sophie has lived a comfortable life with nothing to lose.
The weight that had been lost from living in the open air showed no sign of rebounding.
Sophie touched her flat belly and shook her head regretfully.
All the autumn fat I gained after a month was gone just like that?
Yes, the whole day of training alone is tiring enough, not to mention the special meals prepared by the hospital.
Every day I eat either watery soup or fruits and vegetables. It would be strange if I could gain weight.
Sophie complained in her heart and followed the maid who came to call her for training.
In order to prepare for the upcoming welcoming banquet, Poison Lady specially designed a devilish training for Sophie, which included three parts: piano skills, vocal skills, and dancing skills.
Poison Lady had always had high expectations for Sophie, and she spent a lot of money to find a top technician for her.
However, Sophie is uneducated.
I was playing the piano and the strings broke.
When singing, the tune is off.
Dancing is even more unbearable to watch.
Poison Lady had to temporarily give up these external techniques and instead work on her appearance and figure.
Fortunately, hard work pays off, and this girl understood it immediately.
Look at this little waist twisting and her charming eyes.
She is full of charm.
Even the Poison Lady, who had seen countless people, was confused for a moment.
"Awu, tonight is the welcoming banquet. The one who will be visiting is a high-ranking official from Kyoto, so you must remember to behave well. As long as you catch his eye, wealth and glory will be within your grasp. You won't have to live the same life of wandering as before!"
Poison Lady gave Sophie many instructions, and she responded with a sweet smile.
Although the system had given her the side quest "Love Encounter" several days ago, it did not explain clearly to her who she was going to encounter, when, and where.
With her remarkable cleverness and magical sixth sense, she deduced that the location of the mission was Yichunyuan, and the time point was the welcoming banquet.
As for who this person was, she didn't know and had no interest in knowing.
She was only thinking about completing the task as soon as possible, then rushing home to eat (not really), and check the progress of the main storyline!
…
Night falls and the lights come on.
The bright red lanterns hung high at the gate of Yichunyuan, looking very impressive.
"Miss Awu, the distinguished guest will be arriving soon. Madam wants you to change your clothes and come downstairs to wait for him."
The maid who was ordered to come delivered the message outside the door.
"Understood."
Sophie agreed happily.
She picked up the rouge petals on the table, leaned over and pursed her red lips in front of the mirror.
There was a clear light in his dark eyes.
After waiting for so many days, the person finally came.
"Welcome everyone to Yichunyuan!"
Amid the pleasant sounds of stringed instruments, Lady Poison eagerly led the guests from the door into the inner hall.
Sophie, dressed in a red dress, walked down the wooden stairs gracefully.
The guests who came in from the door gradually stopped talking, and their eyes were all caught by the graceful figure.
The evening breeze blew, ruffling her light veil. Beneath her slender neck, skin as white as jade was revealed. Her proud curves, faintly visible beneath the gauze skirt, were captivating.
Before I could take another look, the wind blew past.
A sigh.
Poison Lady took in everyone's reactions, and when she saw that the atmosphere was set just right, she brought Sophie in front of everyone like she was presenting a treasure.
"Let me introduce to you all, this is our Yichunyuan's newest courtesan, Awu.
Praises came one after another in an instant, and along with it came the system's bonus point prompts.
[Ding! Beauty value +1.]
[Ding! Beauty value +1.]
[Ding! Beauty value +1.]
…
Sophie happily pocketed the 10 beauty points.
"Awu greets all the adults."
She pretended to be shy and smiled, her eyes lowered to the row of identical black boots on the ground.
She didn't know which pair of feet belonged to the person she was going to meet today.
"She's truly the most beautiful woman in the world."
County Magistrate Zhang looked at the woman in front of him greedily, not hiding the amazement in his eyes.
After receiving the warning from Poison Lady's angry eyes, he feigned a cough and introduced Sophie to the protagonist of today's welcoming banquet.
"Master Jue, this is the beauty I specially had carefully selected to welcome you. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
"County Magistrate Zhang is thoughtful, but the distance is a bit far, and it seems difficult to see the whole thing."
The man's deep voice reached Sophie's ears.
Hmm? I seem to have heard this somewhere before?
"Awu, why don't you hurry over and let Master Jue take a good look?"
She was just wondering about this familiar voice when Poison Lady raised her hand and pushed her.
Sophie was caught off guard and lost her balance.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly felt a tightness around his waist.
The man's strong hands grabbed her into his arms.
A refreshing smell hits you in the face.
Sophie's eyes froze, and she looked up. She saw Helian Jue looking back at her with a pair of narrowed eyes that seemed to be smiling but not laughing.
Wow, why is it this guy?
So, the person she was going to meet today was Helian Jue?!
Sophie realized it later.
She instinctively used the force to retreat from his arms, but he pinched her chin and looked at her closely through the veil.
"She is truly a rare beauty."
???
Bro, are you serious?
Aren't you a womanizer? Aren't you the heroine besides your career?
It would be fine if he just went to this fireworks place for official business, but why did he really fall in love with it???
"As long as Master Jue is satisfied, that's good!"
County Magistrate Zhang clapped his hands, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
Sure enough, there is no man in this world who is not lustful.
So what if he is a noble prince from Kyoto?
Aren't you still falling at the feet of a beautiful woman?
"Awu, stay with Master Jue. You will definitely be rewarded later."
As they passed each other, Poison Lady whispered a warning.
Sophie nodded perfunctorily.
If it were someone else, she could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Now that Helian Jue is here, I'm afraid it will be half the result with twice the effort.
The painful experience of the last failed seduction is still fresh in my mind. My butt hurts just thinking about it.
"Awu, what are you standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and pour some wine for Master Jue?"
Magistrate Zhang's voice called Sophie back from her wandering thoughts.
"Yes, Your Excellency the County Magistrate!"
Not missing Helian Jue's playful eyes, Sophie responded sweetly in a low voice.
Now that things have come to this, I can only grit my teeth and continue acting.
As long as Helian Jue doesn't see through it, you can still get points for completing the task.
After successfully comforting herself, Sophie threw herself into the role wholeheartedly, bringing out the character's enchanting and charming attributes to the extreme.
