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

Xie Qingyu's words were interrupted by Shen Wang's actions. She looked up at him and unconsciously stuck out the tip of her tongue and pursed her lips.

King Shen Shen watched her movements, his expression subtly changing.

Xie Qingyu felt another warmth on her lips; this time, the Prince Shen would not be satisfied with just a touch.

The restraint he felt, along with the longing he had felt over the past few days, blended into the kiss, a kiss that was both forceful and cautious.

Fortunately, both of them knew their place, and Xie Qingyu withdrew in time, saying, "You should go to the palace quickly; it's not good to linger too long."

King Shen couldn't resist giving him another kiss, which lasted only a moment.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

Although Prince Shen said so, Xie Qingyu did not expect him to do so any soon.

The palace banquet was complicated, and he also had to report back, so he inevitably spent a lot of time in the palace.

Therefore, Xie Qingyu and Xinping still prepared to have a get-together in the courtyard.

There were no other maids in the front yard; the servants were the ones who did the work.

There was no one else around when we sat down to eat.

"This is really delicious, even better than Chef Huang's!" Xinping ate two pieces before stopping to praise it.

"If Chef Huang hears you say that, don't even think about getting him to give you special treatment," Xie Qingyu teased.

"He's not here right now." Perhaps because she was in a good mood during the New Year, Xinping started joking with Xie Qingyu.

I'll tell him later.

Even though she knew Xie Qingyu was teasing her, Xinping still pretended to rush over, "Good sister, please, don't tell him."

"Are you drunk?" Xie Qingyu was shocked by Xinping's liveliness at this moment.

The kitchen staff served them some plum wine, warm, perfect for a small drink on this winter night. Xinping had just had one glass.

"I'm just happy." Xinping doesn't actually have much feeling about the New Year.

At the beginning, the Lunar New Year might have just meant a day off from training for them.

Later, he probably took advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to do various tasks.

While she was in the palace, it was indeed bustling and lively, but she knew she was different from those people; the Prince Shen's residence was the place she wanted to return to.

Now, in Prince Shen's mansion, although his comrades-in-arms Changfeng and Changliu are no longer there, his heart is at peace.

and......

She looked at Xie Qingyu, "The Prince..."

Xinping was only halfway through her sentence when she looked at Xie Qingyu, waiting for her to continue. A conflicted look appeared on her face. "If you go with the prince, won't that...?"

Xinping regretted her quick question, "When did you and the prince start dating? You've kept it so well hidden."

Hearing Xinping abruptly change the subject, Xie Qingyu understood perfectly well that the only thing that could make Xinping so curious yet hesitant to speak was probably the rumor about Prince Shen.

It seems that Changfeng and Changliu handled all the matters related to this, keeping their mouths shut, or perhaps they didn't want to tell Xinping that it was fake, and the imperial physician's explanation had been arranged in advance.

Xinping was too embarrassed to say it, but Xie Qingyu pretended not to hear the hesitation in her voice. "Sister Xinping, don't try to fool me. You're only being so thoughtful because you're concerned about my feelings."

When Xie Qingyu exposed her, Xinping stopped pretending and just smiled, "Your Highness is a good person."

"what about me?"

"You are a beauty," he said casually.

Xie Qingyu was amused by her quick reaction, and the two of them burst into laughter in the hall.

"There will be fireworks in the palace today," Xinping suddenly said. "It's a pity I can't take you out to see them."

After Prince Shen left, the task assigned to Xinping was to protect Xie Qingyu. Since going out was dangerous, Xinping naturally wouldn't take Xie Qingyu with her when she was alone.

"We're not far from the palace, so it's the same from here." Xie Qingyu didn't seem to mind and didn't feel disappointed.

"I'll take you to see it." Shen Wang's voice came from outside. Looking up, one could see Shen Wang approaching with Chang Liu and Chang Feng behind him in the moonlight.

"Why did you come back?" Xie Qingyu stood up, a hint of worry still on her face.

Seeing her concerned expression, Prince Shen smiled and said, "I returned after reporting back, but I was unwell from the long journey and was unable to attend the palace banquet."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu first looked at his expression, and then realized that this was the Prince Shen's public statement.

"You can't come back without eating. I'll have the kitchen prepare something..."

Before Xie Qingyu could finish speaking, Prince Shen grabbed her wrist. "Don't bother. I'll eat a couple of bites and then I'll take you to the city tower to watch the fireworks."

Prince Shen sat in Xie Qingyu's seat and only ate two bites of the food in Xie Qingyu's bowl.

"Change your clothes first." The clothes that Prince Shen was referring to were ones he brought back from Jiangnan. The weaving techniques there were much better, and the fabrics with patterns were very beautiful. After he went there, he ordered a lot of clothes for Xie Qingyu, which were sent back along with the previous two letters.

However, this time he also brought back a cloak with a white fox fur collar, which King Shen had encountered while hunting.

When I saw it, I thought it would look amazing if it were placed on the collar of a dress, reflecting Xie Qingyu's fair complexion.

Sure enough, Xie Qingyu changed her clothes and came out. Even as she walked up to Prince Shen, he didn't blink.

"So beautiful?" Xie Qingyu said softly, deliberately drawing out the last syllable.

White fox fur adorned Xie Qingyu's face beneath a red cloak. The rouge on her lips was a shade redder than usual, and her slightly parted lips made it impossible to understand what she was saying. One could only stare at those opening and closing lips and let their desires wander.

She really does look like a vixen.

Even if Prince Shen knew that Xie Qingyu's personality when she was a maid was only one aspect of her many faces.

I never expected her to have such a contrasting side.

It's exciting and makes you feel proud.

He had a great eye; he found a gem right away.

"Are you coming or not?" Xie Qingyu waved her hand in front of Shen Wang to bring him back to his senses.

"Walk."

Prince Shen brought Xie Qingyu to watch the fireworks outside the palace walls. Instead of actually squeezing in with the crowd below, he took Xie Qingyu to the nearest city tower.

The guards were excited to see King Shen and tried to bow, but King Shen stopped them.

"I'm taking my men to watch the fireworks for a while. Just pretend I wasn't here today."

Clearly, this guard was also one of King Shen's men. Hearing him say this, he immediately nodded and then, without looking to the side, let King Shen and Xie Qingyu go up.

"It's almost time." Prince Shen grew up in the palace and naturally knew the time for the fireworks display.

Looking at the bustling crowd dozens of meters away from the palace wall, Xie Qingyu seemed to join them in anticipating the fireworks.

“These people look forward to the fireworks in the palace every year, as it represents a year without worries or disasters.” King Shen also looked at the people.

No matter what life has been like throughout the year, everyone is happy at this moment.

Just like him.

Prince Shen turned his head to look at Xie Qingyu.

Fireworks soared into the sky and exploded, echoing the firecrackers set off by wealthy families in the city.

His gaze remained fixed on Xie Qingyu, not wavering for a moment.
