Of course, the guards outside heard the whole conversation and were currently regretting their profession slightly. Their new Mistress was so nice yet they couldn't partake in her kindness. It wasn't easy being a guard of the royal family okay? The women inside started talking some time later, with a lot of prompting from Shen Tianyu. Soon, the poor guards were listening to a mass of pleasant, tinkling laughter from the usually quiet and humble maidservants.
It was only when another servant came to summon Shen Tianyu for a walk did the lively conversation come to an abrupt stop. The guards announced loudly that a servant was coming to warn the maids inside to get into their positions. They hurriedly stood back up and flanked either side of Shen Tianyu. She also didn't bother to tell them to sit down because they would soon get up again anyways.
The servant was shown in by one of the younger maids to Shen Tianyu still lazing on the chaise. He knelt down in front of her and kowtowed before delivering his message.
"The Fourth Prince invites the Miss to take a walk in the gardens with him." He said without looking at her.
"Alright. Tell him to wait for me while I get ready." She responded as she beckoned to the maids flanking her.
The servant affirmed he had received the message before he quickly left to inform his Master. The maids quickly went to get the makeup and clothes ready when the servant left, trying their best to pretty her up. However, her face was already so beautiful, there wasn't much they could actually do and Shen Tianyu refused the heavy makeup that changed her looks completely. What if she changed so much that Rong Jian didn't recognize her? That would be a bothersome situation to deal with.
In only a quarter of a shichen(1), she was ready to go. It was a really short amount of time compared to other girls, even the more common women didn't take so short to get ready. In truth, Shen Tianyu wasn't one to care for fashion trends and just bought and wore whatever she liked and thought was pretty. Some of the clothes might look shabby or weird on someone else, but she had the aura to make almost anything work as long as the outfit wasn't too outlandish. Actually, the ones in charge of her clothes back home, in Yaodu, were the ones with the biggest headache. Since her preference was so broad, as in "anything that was pretty", they had a hard time choosing the best clothes for her as everything fit her. Usually, people with looks like her were picky about what they wore, and they had become accustomed to those demanding Masters and Misses. To meet such an anomaly, they really weren't used to it. If it was someone who looked more ordinary then things would have been easier, as it would also be simpler to pick things out that best accentuate her unique physical features. But this one was good-looking and didn't care what she wore, even willing to cross dress as a man on occasion for convenience. She sometimes felt sorry for them when she caught them holding their head and mumbling to themselves like madmen, but this was how she was. And honestly, every occasion requires a different style so it wasn't really a big deal in her eyes. Such as, you can't wear casual clothes to an extravagant banquet.
Shen Tianyu stepped out of her "guest room" and saw Rong Jian standing in the front courtyard, leaning against one of the peach blossom trees, his arms folded in front of his chest. She let out a giggle as she approached him and he turned from the peach blossom grove to look at her, only to go stiff. Not minding his entranced look, Shen Tianyu spoke to him.
"What are you waiting out here for? Your courtyard is just right there, I could have sent someone to call for you when I was done."
Rong Jian gulped and subtly pinched his leg before he registered that she was speaking to him and he questioned her, his ears red from embarrassment. "Sorry, could you repeat that again?"
"What, so entranced, you can't make out human words now? You better not, I don't want to end up like Yang Guifei(2)." She smilingly joked with him.
Rong Jian, on the other hand, furrowed his brows. "Who is this Yang Guifei and why don't you want to become like her?"
'Ah... oops, I let my old memories slip. Sigh. Looks like I'm still not used to this world.' She berated herself for letting herself slip. "She's a famous beauty."
"Then, why wouldn't Tian'er want to become like a famous beauty?"
"Because she was killed by her husband and accused by the people of being a fox demon that seduced the Emperor and made him neglect state matters, making the kingdom fall into despair. Some say her husband ordered a servant to strangle her to death but it's basically the same thing."

Rong Jian snorted. "Hmph. A useless man loses the throne and they blame the woman, what load of bull!" He then turned to her with a serious look on his face. "I would never do that to you."
Shen Tianyu covered her lisp with her sleeve and laughed lightly. "I know, I was just joking. Anyways, I was just asking why you would wait here when our courtyards are right next to each other?"
"Because I wanted to be the first to see Tian'er in all her glory!" He huffed with confidence.
"You know, the first people to see me in my full outfit would be the maids helping me dress up right?"
Rong Jian became a bit flustered and changed his tune. "Then, I wanted to see Tian'er as soon as possible!"
"How came you changed your tune so fast? Well, no matter, it's basically the same thing anyways." Shen Tianyu shook her head in amusement.
