Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

After He Sheng confirmed that Cecilia was still alive, he shrugged and left the back garden. Bain was still immersed in his own world, with Cecilia in his heart and eyes.

After He Sheng left, Kate pulled him away, "Miss, we really can't delay any longer...some noble ladies have already finished their styling by this time!"

"What time is it now?" He Sheng asked Kate.

"10 point."

"What time does the party start?"

"Five p.m."

He Sheng stopped and refused to let her pull him along. "There are still 7 hours left. Why should I be in a hurry? What's the benefit of getting the styling done in advance?"

Getting it ready too early means that she has to hold it until the banquet starts, and cannot eat - in order to show a slender waist, many noble girls may not drink a drop of water for a whole day. Can't sweat, can't yawn - tears and sweat will ruin the makeup on the face. And can't sit, because the hem of the skirt will wrinkle, affecting its beauty.

She can't do anything, so is there any need for her to ask for trouble?

Kate said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid I won't have enough time. After all... the process is complicated. It would be a disaster if the lady's look is not ready by seven o'clock."

He Sheng quickly grabbed two slices of bread and stuffed them into his mouth, "Okay, go now, I'll go now."

Kate helped her get dressed, but found that all the corsets in her closet had disappeared, "Miss! There's a thief! Someone stole your corset!"

He Sheng thought it was a big deal, "I threw it away, I don't need it."

"This, this, this, this... The young lady's corset was originally loose, and now it has been thrown away..." Kate sighed, "The other noble ladies will talk about you."

"Whatever. I won't survive the night wearing that corset anyway."

Kate resigned herself to her fate and continued to help He Sheng put on her clothes. He Sheng took off a layer of her layered petticoat while Kate wasn't paying attention.

One less crinoline wouldn't affect anything at all. No, it would only affect her. She would easily be suffocated by it.

After changing clothes, she put on makeup and did her hair. The rest was not something Kate could do alone. Three maids came in one after another, and He Sheng was manipulated like a doll by them and then dressed up.

She yawned so much that her makeup was ruined several times, and she had to wipe it off and reapply it, making the already long task even longer.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when everything was packed. Coincidentally, this time was just right for us to take a carriage and leisurely head to the palace.

It was 4:50 when she arrived at the royal palace, which was neither too early nor too late. It was just right for her, who was between the nobility and the common people.

The huge palace garden has become a social venue for girls today. Girls from ordinary families can be distinguished from aristocrats at a glance. They don’t have gorgeous skirts and overly thin waists. Some of them are extremely excited, while others are timid.

He Sheng stood in a corner of the garden and admired the various creatures there.

Kate couldn't help but ask her, "Miss, aren't we going in?"

"Go in, but wait till I've seen enough."

"Miss, let's go in quickly. Don't wait until Princess Erica arrives before we go in. This will offend the princess."

"It's okay. You can keep an eye on it for me. Remind me when the princess comes."

Kate was speechless and stood on tiptoe to see who was coming in from outside.

Kate discovered important information not long after she started to look out. "Miss! Miss Jennifer Dahler is here!"

He Sheng turned around immediately, "Where?"

"She just went in."

He Sheng lifted up her skirt and patted the non-existent dust on it, "Do you still remember the part I asked you to record last time?"

"remember."

"Come on, let's go in now. I'll let her see. It's not that I don't abide by the treaty. This legend is just a rumor and there's nothing I can do about it."

Perhaps it was the intuition between enemies, He Sheng and Jennifer made eye contact as soon as he entered.

He Sheng smiled politely, waved and greeted her, then trotted over to her side, "Hello again, Miss Jennifer."

"Ms. He Sheng, where are your mermaid tears? You came to me so excitedly, I guess you have found them." The little followers beside Jennifer all focused their eyes on He Sheng.

"No, what a pity. The mermaid tears that Miss Jennifer wants is just a legend." He Sheng didn't wait for Jennifer to speak, and signaled Kate to show them the recording of that day.

On the water screen condensed by magic, you can clearly see that there is a mermaid next to He Sheng.

Jennifer's followers began to discuss in a low voice.

"Oh my god, a mermaid."

"Didn't they say that mermaids have disappeared for a long time?"

"Did He Sheng find one?"

"It must be very expensive. Mr. He Cang really dotes on her."

The envy and jealousy on his face could not be hidden.

After watching the entire video, Jennifer couldn't hold back the smile on her face. "What do you want to say?"

"Look, the mermaid said they can't do it, so your bet doesn't exist at all. It's not that I don't want to fulfill my promise, I just regret that I can't find the Mermaid's Tears." He Sheng's face was kind and gentle, but her heart was already blooming with joy. Lululu, she wouldn't even give her a perfunctory pearl!

Jennifer sneered, "You have to accept the loss. If there is no bet, then there is no bet, but you lost the game."

He Sheng nodded, "I admit it."

Compared to completing the bet, it was easy to just admit that I lost.

Jennifer didn't get the response she wanted and felt bored. "He Sheng, you won't be so lucky next time."

"It doesn't matter, we'll talk about it next time." He Sheng has a good attitude. If he loses, he loses. He will talk about the next win or loss next time.

The conversation between the two ended with Jennifer being angry and leaving, and Princess Erica walked in at this moment.

She sat down at the main seat and made some grand opening remarks, saying that this banquet was held to deepen the relationship and strengthen communication. Then she had to perform the opening dance, and then the noble men filed in.

"In order to make it easier for everyone to dance, I have specially invited some men to dance with everyone. I hope everyone will have fun."

He Sheng now completely believed what He Cang said. It turned out to be a blind date. However, there were only some ambiguous words on the notice. She thought it was just a greeting and then leaving, but she even had to dance.

He Sheng can dance, but she doesn't want to join in. She silently takes two steps back, trying to prevent others from noticing her.

The ordinary girls present were particularly excited. For them, if they were noticed by the nobles, they could directly jump up a class and escape their poor fate. Even the poorest nobles would not need to do farm work by themselves.

Most of the noble girls looked at them shyly, waving their feather fans; they believed that these boys would definitely choose them first.

He Sheng felt like an outsider. She wanted to stand outside the door and see why a party held for girls required boys to choose their female companions?

And since there are more girls than boys, some girls are bound to be left behind. What are they? Are they commodities to be picked by anyone?
