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

Prince Shen has no time to concern himself with Luo Qingran's little schemes.

He remained silent the whole way, lost in thought, until he returned to his courtyard. Then he whispered a few words to Changliu, and only after watching Changliu leave quickly did he turn around and go back into the house.

Before they returned, Qingyan and Xinping had already prepared tea. Upon seeing them return, Xinping immediately brought it over and placed it on the table before leaving.

Xie Qingyu poured a cup of tea for Prince Shen and followed his gaze to see Qingyan talking to the old woman sweeping the yard outside.

Recalling the two times today that Prince Shen mentioned giving someone to Prince Ling, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Does Your Highness really intend to give Qingyan to Prince Ling?" Xie Qingyu's hand was still on the teapot, and there was a hint of reluctance on her face.

"You're usually quite clever, but you get confused and annoyed when it comes to the people around you?" Prince Shen's face showed helplessness.

He knew that Xie Qingyu had a better relationship with Qingyan.

Shen Wang's words made Xie Qingyu think of a certain possibility: "Qingyan is... Ling Wang's person?"

This is the most likely possibility that Xie Qingyu could think of. A person like Prince Shen would think ten steps ahead before making a move, and he wouldn't say something like that for no reason.

"At least you're somewhat clever." Prince Shen turned his gaze to Xie Qingyu. "You usually treat people like sisters, and you don't even realize you've been betrayed."

It was something that Prince Shen had known for some time that Qingyan was one of Prince Ling's men. However, although his front yard seemed loosely managed, there were actually people watching everywhere, so he couldn't get any useful information.

This one oversight actually drew her attention to Xie Qingyu.

Prince Ling is not a man who is easily swayed by women, nor is he the kind of person who would take a fancy to someone else's servants. If today's events were not a test for him, there would be no other reason.

Xie Qingyu's expression turned serious, indicating that she had also thought of this.

"You shouldn't have refused." Xie Qingyu was referring to the fact that even if Prince Shen had agreed to give her to Prince Ling, Prince Ling wouldn't have accepted her for the sake of his reputation.

After all, taking a liking to one's own brother's maid is not something that can be openly discussed.

Especially someone as skilled at disguise as Prince Ling wouldn't leave such a handle.

Prince Shen did not answer, his gaze remaining fixed on Xie Qingyu, his eyes seemingly filled with affection.

Xie Qingyu understood his meaning. Even though he knew Ling Wang best, he knew that this was the best option and could easily resolve Ling Wang's test.

But he didn't want to take any risks, and it was impossible for him to say anything like handing Xie Qingyu over to someone else.

Those skillful calculations of people's hearts only exist when they are not moved.

Xie Qingyu admitted that it was really hard not to be moved at this moment.

The seasoned strategist, skilled in calculation, begins to worry about gains and losses, and loses his composure.

"Is Xinping one of your people?" Xie Qingyu asked, her gaze shifting from Qingyan outside.

"That's quite clever of you." Prince Shen really didn't expect Xie Qingyu to make the connection to Xinping, but there was nothing to hide.

"You managed to get rid of someone as insignificant as Xin Jing, so there's no reason to keep someone who knows martial arts by your side. If she's not one of yours, she's someone who poses no threat to you either." Xie Qingyu had this suspicion from the very beginning.

It wasn't just the calluses on Xinping's palms, but also the sense of familiarity she shared with Changliu and Changfeng.

"Your mind is sharp; she certainly didn't fool you." A smile appeared in Prince Shen's eyes.

Xie Qingyu remained noncommittal.

If it weren't for his intentions, Xinping wouldn't have acted so casually in front of her.

"Keeping this around would have been somewhat useful, but I never expected her to turn on you like this." A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the Prince of Shen.

Just thinking about the words Ling Wang used to ask for Xie Qingyu would fill him with murderous intent.

Ultimately, it was she who leaked the information to Prince Ling. Fortunately, he and Qingyu had never done anything inappropriate in public, which is why Prince Ling was only testing the waters.

“I didn’t expect this either,” Xie Qingyu sighed. “My relationship with her has been excellent since we were in the palace.”

“Perhaps she deliberately approached you.” Prince Shen’s voice was somewhat cold. “These palace maids, after being trained and sent to the palace, naturally learn to weigh the pros and cons from a young age.”

King Shen did not wish to discuss these private matters with Xie Qingyu.

Qingyan was sent away just like that.

Send it to Prince Ling.

Changliu returned and said that Prince Ling did not have a bad expression at the time, he just refused. He could not stop Changliu from throwing the person down, so he asked Princess Ling to handle it.

King Shen's actions were highly provocative and unlike his usual style.

When Xie Qingyu said this, Prince Shen's voice was casual, "Otherwise, he'll think I'm easy to bully."

King Shen rarely referred to himself as "this king" in front of her, which shows how furious he was this time.

Xie Qingyu decided not to bring up the matter again and changed the subject.

"Now Your Highness can be considered to be enjoying the blessing of having two wives," Xie Qingyu said with a hint of mockery.

This refers to the two palace maids who were brought back. They are now with Luo Qingran. It is unknown whether they will be the lowest-ranking concubines or given a title.

Prince Shen carefully observed her expression, making sure she wasn't upset about what happened today before speaking, "If I'm impotent, how can I enjoy happiness?"

When he said those words, it sounded so dignified and respectable, as if it were something extraordinary.

There wasn't the slightest bit of guilt on their part.

If Xie Qingyu hadn't been forced to experience it firsthand, she would definitely believe him now.

Looking at his expression, Xie Qingyu felt a little rebellious. "It really won't work."

Xie Qingyu shook her head as she spoke, seemingly regretting it.

The smile on King Shen's face froze, then blossomed into a helpless smile. He reached out and pulled the person into his arms, saying, "You'll see when you try it later."

"There are so many people waiting to try, how could it be my turn?" Even now, Xie Qingyu is still diligently playing the role of jealousy, saying such things, but her eyes are full of teasing when she looks at Prince Shen, without any hint of the meaning behind her words.

Even so, Prince Shen still spoke up to explain, "That was for the Queen Consort, not for me."

It must be said that the concubine sent over the most beautiful women, as if she were afraid that Prince Shen would not be able to indulge in these beauties, and wished that he could be completely drained.

“I don’t care about anything else.” Xie Qingyu reached out and smoothed out the wrinkles on Prince Shen’s front. “I’m petty. If I wholeheartedly accept someone, I can’t tolerate him having other people.”

Xie Qingyu knew that saying such things from the beginning would have backfired.

And now, the timing is perfect.

However, it was clear that King Shin's attention was not on the full meaning of that sentence, but rather on the phrase "to accept someone wholeheartedly."
