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

Xie Qingyu was completely unaware of the gaze behind her. She calmly lit the lamp before putting on her outer clothes and tidying up her bed. Only then did she look at Prince Shen, who was sitting up on the bed.

"Does Your Highness wish to get up?" The rain made the sky dark and Xie Qingyu couldn't tell what time it was. She simply asked as she saw Prince Shen sit up.

"Get up," said King Shen, but he did not get out of bed.

Xie Qingyu opened the door to let the person under the eaves in. Looking at Qingyan's concerned eyes, Xie Qingyu gently shook her head.

I only realized how much it had cooled down after the rain when I opened the door.

A cold autumn rain.

Xie Qingyu shuddered involuntarily.

Perhaps because of the drop in temperature, Granny Feng was also waiting outside this time. After coming in, she glanced at the two quilts on Prince Shen's body before looking away with satisfaction.

"It's getting cold, so have the maids change the quilts in this room to thicker ones today," said Granny Feng.

"Thank you for arranging these things, Granny. Cough cough cough."

"It is my duty as an old servant."

"The weather is getting cold, so from now on, I won't let the maids keep watch at night anymore. Let Changliu come in and keep me company," Prince Shen said to Granny Feng.

"This..." Granny Feng turned to look at Xie Qingyu and cautiously asked, "Is there something wrong with Qingyu keeping watch last night?"

Prince Shen shook his head. "Very well, but it's unnecessary. I'm not used to having maids at night, and it's inconvenient."

"Your Highness, would you like some tea tonight?" Granny Feng still wanted to try and persuade him.

“You have a long way to go, cough cough cough…” After finishing his drink, Prince Shen coughed incessantly, and Granny Feng swallowed back any words she wanted to say.

"Yes."

After the temperature dropped, Shen Wang's health, which was almost failing, seemed to improve. At least on the surface, he looked almost like a normal person, could walk on his own, and his face was not so pale.

The princess must have been the happiest person; she came over again during dinner.

"His Majesty and the Empress were very pleased to hear the news that you have recovered, and they have bestowed many gifts upon you." This trip back to the palace has been the happiest for Luo Qingran.

Once Prince Shen's health improves, she will be able to secure her position.

"I will go to the palace with you tomorrow to express my gratitude." Prince Shen took a couple of bites of food, put down his chopsticks, and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Alright, alright." Luo Qingran's face showed some excitement. "Then I'll head back now."

Upon learning this news, Luo Qingran was about to return, and Granny Feng left with her.

Watching Luo Qingran leave with her entourage, Prince Shen sat at the table without touching his chopsticks. "What do you think of the Princess Consort?"

King Shen suddenly spoke up and asked.

Xie Qingyu glanced at Changliu, who was eight zhang away, and realized that the question was directed at her.

"The Princess Consort is dignified and elegant, cares deeply about the Prince's health, and is very kind to the servants," Xie Qingyu said after thinking for a moment.

"Dignified and imposing?" Prince Shen said lightly.

Watching that departing figure, Prince Shen's gaze returned to Xie Qingyu. He had thought she was alright before, but now...

-------------------------------------

When King Shen entered the palace to express his gratitude, he brought the four palace maids with him.

After watching Prince Shen and Luo Qingran get into the carriage, Xie Qingyu and Qingyan got into the carriage behind them.

"It's been so long since I've been back to the palace. I wonder how my sisters are doing?" Qingyan asked, sounding somewhat excited.

After all, they grew up in the palace, where they have not only memories but also familiar people.

Qingyan is especially popular and has good relationships with many palace maids, both senior and junior. She is naturally happy that she will be going to the Empress's palace this time.

"It's probably nothing special, maybe even one or two are missing," Xinping replied expressionlessly.

She had no fondness for the palace.

Qingyan wanted to retort, but then seemed to think of something and didn't say anything, though her face still showed a defiant expression.

Their relationship wasn't particularly good to begin with. If Prince Shen were in good health now, they would even be scheming against each other, so naturally their relationship wouldn't be very close.

It's just that Qingyan and Xie Qingyu have a better relationship.

After Xinping said that, no one spoke in the car the rest of the way.

Xie Qingyu has been on daytime duty recently, just like them, spending more time indoors and not much contact with the outside world.

Therefore, he didn't say anything.

And so they made their way to the palace gate.

When entering the palace, they all had to dismount and walk, but Prince Shen did not. The guards said that this was a special order from His Majesty.

However, Prince Shen still came down to accompany Luo Qingran.

Looking at the two walking together ahead, Qingyan couldn't help but say again, "Our princess is really lucky."

you do not say.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for a mere concubine's daughter from the Grand Commandant's household to marry a prince as a secondary wife, let alone the principal wife, let alone the most favored princess consort of Prince Shen.

Now everyone says she's had incredible luck.

Of course, there is another reason for this sentimental remark: "The prince and princess have such a good relationship."

Xie Qingyu looked ahead and saw that Prince Shen was in front, while Luo Qingran was half a step behind.

Luo Qingran was also keeping a close eye on Prince Shen's health, and Prince Shen returned her a smile that said not to worry.

Are they close? So close that when they eat together, Luo Qingran never picks up food that she has already picked up?

Xie Qingyu smiled, knowing in a few days whether their relationship was good enough and what strategies she would need to employ.

As the group walked into the inner palace, they encountered many officials leaving court and greeted them one by one.

As a result, the group, which was already walking slowly, slowed down even further.

The military officers, in particular, were quite excited to see King Shen and inquired about his health.

King Shen answered their concerns gently before leaving.

It wasn't until they reached the palace that the group split into two.

Prince Shen took Changliu to see the Emperor, while Luo Qingran took them to see the Empress.

This was Xie Qingyu's first time meeting the Empress, who was also the mother of Prince Shen.

She looks to be in her early thirties, and she takes very good care of herself; her face is flawless.

Seeing Luo Qingran arrive with her entourage to pay their respects, she showed little expression and coldly greeted them.

"It's so kind of you all to come back. Look how thin you've all become. You've all worked so hard taking care of the prince." The Empress Dowager's attitude towards the four of them was even better.

This left Luo Qingran feeling neglected, as if she were being ignored, making her smile appear somewhat unnatural.

This was probably because he had never received such treatment during his previous visits to the palace.

The mistress seemed oblivious to Luo Qingran's state, and instead inquired about Prince Shen's recent situation.

“Since my mother cares so much about me, why bother asking them? Just ask me directly,” Prince Shen said as he entered the room.
