Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

"Have you learned it?" Shen Wang asked after Xie Qingyu untied her belt with trembling hands.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu subconsciously let go, and the jade-inlaid belt fell to the ground, making a sound in the night.

"I've learned it." Xie Qingyu still kept her head down.

But then another problem arises.

Even though his belt was already undone, King Shen did not take off his outer garment himself.

Xie Qingyu was already supporting him with one hand, so she naturally couldn't take her off with the other.

Perhaps sensing Xie Qingyu's predicament, Prince Shen straightened up slightly, no longer relying on Xie Qingyu's strength to stand upright.

Xie Qingyu freed her hands and immediately used both hands to help him take off his outer robe.

When Prince Shen stood leaning against Xie Qingyu, he was already much taller than her. When he stood up straight, the height difference was even more noticeable, which forced Xie Qingyu to stand on tiptoe and stretch out her hands to reach Prince Shen's collar.

Because of her tiptoeing posture, Xie Qingyu's body leaned slightly forward, making her unsteady. As she removed her outer robe, her soft hands would inadvertently touch the skin of Prince Shen's neck.

The room was completely silent; not even a cough could be heard.

Before Xie Qingyu could even put his outer robe on the rack next to her, she noticed that Prince Shen in front of her was about to lose his balance.

He quickly threw his clothes onto the bed and reached out to support Prince Shen.

"Ahem... help me to bed," Prince Shen said.

Xie Qingyu agreed and carefully helped Prince Shen onto the bed, trying her best to ignore the fact that Prince Shen had put his hand on her shoulder for support as he walked.

For some reason, even just walking those two steps left her drenched in sweat. After settling the person onto the bed, Xie Qingyu began to tidy up her outer robe and belt that she had just taken off.

Prince Shen leaned against the headboard and watched Xie Qingyu tidy up his things. Only after she finished did he speak, "You read very well yesterday. Let's continue reading today."

Xie Qingyu: "..."

So, the reason she can work consecutive shifts is because of her reading skills?

Given her status and position, Xie Qingyu naturally had no right to refuse.

"Read it on your bed tonight, so you don't fall asleep while reading." Prince Shen's tone was still smiling, as if he didn't care about Xie Qingyu's dereliction of duty last night.

Xie Qingyu looked at the candles and books prepared under the bed, resignedly went over and picked up the book.

"Ahem...won't you take off your outer clothes first?" Prince Shen looked at Xie Qingyu with his starry eyes.

Seeing Xie Qingyu looking over, Prince Shen did not look away for a moment. "There's nothing for you to do in a while."

Xie Qingyu and Prince Shen exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of unspoken words, but in the end they didn't speak, as if they didn't have the courage to remind him that the night watch maids were supposed to sleep fully clothed so that they could serve their masters at night.

However, since Prince Shen said there was nothing for her to do, Xie Qingyu began to take off her outer clothes.

The lights were still on in the room. Xie Qingyu glanced at Prince Shen and saw that his gaze had already shifted to the book.

Xie Qingyu then turned her back, relieved.

She was still wearing her private clothes brought from the palace. The material and style were excellent. The clothes were made according to her figure after she received the Empress's reward, and they fit her very well.

Especially when she turns around and raises her hand to unbutton the buttons at her neck, her arms naturally reveal her slender waist that can be grasped in one hand, and the fullness of her figure that can be faintly seen from behind.

Prince Shen on the bed looked away as if he had been electrocuted, but the scene he had just witnessed still lingered in his mind.

After removing her outer clothes, Xie Qingyu folded her own clothes and placed them beside the couch.

Then, after getting into bed, she spoke to the Prince Shen on the bed, "This servant will begin reading."

"Hmm," Prince Shen responded softly, without looking at Xie Qingyu.

Aside from the difference in height between the bed and the couch, he and Xie Qingyu were indeed extremely close.

Xie Qingyu picked up the book, not knowing where she had left off yesterday, but since the book was already open, she decided to start reading from this page.

"The cave was filled with crows, and the sight of it made one feel cold..." Xie Qingyu was naturally drawn into the scene described in the book, reading on without getting tired of it.

The sounds inside the room gradually faded until they disappeared completely, leaving only the crackling of the burning candlelight.

The person who should have been resting in bed looked down at the sleeping person at her feet, bent down and gently took the book from her hand and placed it next to her pillow. Then she stared at it for a while, reached out and pulled the blanket that had fallen around her waist up to her chest.

"I hope it's not you." The barely audible voice seemed like a murmur in the room, or perhaps a hallucination.

With a snap, only Xie Qingyu remained fast asleep in the dim candlelight of the room.

The next morning, when Xie Qingyu woke up, the candle on the bedside table had burned out. She looked up at the bed and saw that Prince Shen was sleeping upright with his eyes closed and still asleep.

Xie Qingyu glanced at the book lying on her pillow and muttered softly, "Does this book have a hypnotic effect? ​​How did I fall asleep while reading it again?"

After putting the book away on the table, Xie Qingyu got up and put on the coat that was placed beside her before tidying up her bed.

After doing all this, Xie Qingyu looked back and saw that the person on the bed was still asleep.

Since the King of Shen remained unconscious, she could only stay inside the house.

Xie Qingyu sat at the table, carefully cleaning up the candles that had burned out in the room. At this moment, she could finally openly look at Prince Shen.

Perhaps because of his illness and pale complexion, he gave people the impression of being frail and weak at first glance, as if he would fall over with the slightest push.

But if you look closely now, you can see that apart from his pale face, King Shen does not have the typical weakness of someone who is bedridden.

The jawline is firm, and there is no sunken cheeks.

Even lying in bed with his eyes closed, he still has a handsome appearance, but he doesn't have the aura of someone who can lead an army into battle. Instead, he looks more like a rich young master, the kind who is deeply loved by his family because of his good looks and sweet words.

Xie Qingyu's thoughts drifted as she looked at the wound, wondering what kind of fatal injury could have kept him bedridden for a year.

Xie Qingyu's gaze swept over Prince Shen, but she couldn't discern anything unusual about him, or even what kind of injury he had sustained...

"Cough cough cough..." Xie Qingyu's scattered thoughts were pulled back by the soft cough of the Prince Shen on the bed.

Seeing that the Prince Shen had already woken up and reached out his hand, Xie Qingyu quickly stepped forward.

"Bring me an outer robe." Prince Shen helped Xie Qingyu sit up.

Xie Qingyu hesitated for a moment. She had been on night watch for the past two days and hadn't yet checked on Prince Shen's wardrobe.

But it couldn't be yesterday's clothes. Xie Qingyu opened the wardrobe, selected a suitable robe to wear indoors, and took it.
