Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook
Chapter 70 The Cunning Prince's Personal Maid (31)
Regardless of outside speculation, Prince Shen in the courtyard was living a much more comfortable life than they imagined.
In addition to the daily gifts from the emperor, several princes have also been sending gifts here recently.
King Shen did not meet with any of the people, but he accepted everything that was sent to him.
He himself simply soaks in hot springs and plays a few games of chess with Xie Qingyu every day.
The two were locked in a fierce battle on the chessboard when Xie Qingyu placed a chess piece and suddenly asked, "What is the prince's courtesy name?"
“Xuanji.” Prince Shen looked up at her. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
"I've occasionally heard Princess Ling call out Prince Ling's courtesy name. I've been in the manor for so long, and I didn't even know your courtesy name." Xie Qingyu lied about this. She didn't hear Princess Ling call him that; she heard the Imperial Concubine call him that.
But the second half of the statement is true.
Several months had passed since she entered the manor, yet she still didn't know Prince Shen's courtesy name, and the Imperial Concubine had never addressed her as such.
"These two words are very good," Xie Qingyu praised sincerely.
"It was named by my father before I established my own residence." Prince Shen placed a piece to end the game, noticing Xie Qingyu's gaze.
His eyes seemed to hold a sense of acceptance and love, a clear expression of heartache and unspeakable emotions.
Despite not making any other moves, King Shen's heart trembled, and his expression softened.
"Your handwriting is so beautiful, why do you still have that expression? Are you unhappy because you lost the game?" Shen Wang was clearly trying to distract Xie Qingyu.
But under Xie Qingyu's silent gaze, he spoke softly, "No matter what now, at least the two words he chose are excellent. He wanted to give me the best at the time, so there's nothing to criticize now. He was an emperor first and a father second."
King Shen was very open-minded about this.
Even if he didn't say it, Xie Qingyu knew that the Prince of Shen must not have been so calm at the beginning.
These two words contain an emperor's expectations for his successor.
The rumors circulating outside were true; Prince Shen was greatly favored by the emperor.
This is definitely not baseless.
But that was only before Prince Shen came of age and had not yet established his own government.
The contrast between the character '宣极' and the title '慎' is particularly telling.
'慎' means to be cautious in speech and action.
It's both a reprimand and a constraint.
However, after tying his hair up, King Shen did something that was most contrary to the emperor's expectations: he ran to the battlefield.
"Xuanji?" Xie Qingyu suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?" King Shen patiently put the chess pieces away one by one.
"Xuanji," Xie Qingyu called out again.
Prince Shen stopped what he was doing, his gaze fixed on Xie Qingyu's lips as they moved.
Xie Qingyu seemed to have gotten hooked on shouting, and shouted it several times in a row.
King Shen responded to every single one of his words with great patience.
When Xie Qingyu finally stopped, she picked up a cup of tea and held it to her lips, saying, "You must be tired of shouting. Have some tea to soothe your nerves."
Xie Qingyu took two sips of tea from his hand, her tongue glistening with a slightly moistened sensation.
As soon as Prince Shen put down his teacup, Xie Qingyu saw that he still wanted to say something, but Prince Shen suddenly leaned over the tea table in the middle and kissed her.
Because of Shen Wang's sudden approach, Xie Qingyu's waist instinctively bent backward, but Shen Wang held her shoulders so she couldn't move.
A sound that made one blush and their heart race rang out in the room. The Prince of Shen had changed his recent slow and deliberate way of speaking, and instead spoke with a fierce and aggressive manner, as if he wanted to devour the person whole.
As if inspecting the battlefield of their victory, they didn't miss any of the places Xie Qingyu mentioned.
The silver threads, which were not swallowed in time, fell onto the chessboard and moistened the chess pieces.
"I only regret..." Shen Wang finally released Xie Qingyu.
He regretted letting Luo Qingran into the palace when he was injured, just to put the two in the palace at ease. He regretted not planning ahead, which made it impossible for him to give himself a proper title now, a title that he could openly and no longer restrain himself from.
Prince Shen even felt the planning was taking too long, fearing Xie Qingyu might not have the patience to wait...
King Shen decided to further compress the remaining plans in his mind.
Xie Qingyu simply smiled and remained silent, seemingly unaware of Prince Shen's inner turmoil.
"I'm going out this afternoon and will be returning to the palace soon. It's time for me to show my face." Prince Shen was completely unaware that he now reported his departures to Xie Qingyu.
"it is good."
When King Shen went out, as usual, Changliu and Changfeng followed him.
Xinping has been staying in the backyard recently. Now that they're heading back, Luo Qingran's things in the backyard need to be watched over and put away. Xinping has been in the backyard for the past two days.
The courtyard seemed to have suddenly become empty.
Xie Qingyu tidied up her things and went back to her room to rest.
What's the mission progress?
The system immediately reported the progress at 80%.
The world system doesn't even dare to come out on its own initiative.
Sometimes it couldn't even distinguish whether Xie Qingyu's actions were seduction or enticement.
She used completely different seduction methods on the male lead, who had a completely different personality.
In this world, Xie Qingyu first piqued Shen Wang's interest, and then, instead of continuing to seduce him, she subtly guided him, and her perfectly timed displays of tenderness reached this level.
She may seem to do nothing, but in reality, she controls every interaction and every step that takes place.
The system felt that speaking up would only be a distraction and wouldn't help in any way.
Xie Qingyu has never relied on the system and has never used the system store even once.
"This world..." Xie Qingyu unconsciously tapped her knuckles on the table, "Does Luo Qingran have some kind of halo?"
Xie Qingyu frowned, clearly unable to find a word to accurately describe her feelings.
Although Luo Qingran is a bit bad and stupid, and has no real threat, he has always been used as a pawn.
However, Xie Qingyu felt that if the original plot had been followed, she would have lived a smooth life to the end and had a happy ending with the male lead.
It's like... like the lucky heroine in some book, who gets the best results with almost no effort.
If Xie Qingyu hadn't interfered, Luo Qingran's character would really be like this.
King Shen would not risk changing his queen, and a queen with good fortune and a good reputation would be an asset to the position he was after, so King Shen would not easily touch her.
The story ends peacefully and without incident.
[What do you mean by "halo"? Is it the protagonist's halo?]
The system clearly couldn't understand Xie Qingyu's feelings; it could only grasp the literal meaning of her words.
"No..." Xie Qingyu initially denied it, but upon closer reflection, she realized she couldn't really pinpoint the difference.
Xie Qingyu pondered for a while and then remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the system silently shut up and stopped asking questions.
