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

The next day, Princess Showa took Xie Qingyu to the Treasure Pavilion. They selected quite a few items, but Princess Showa didn't spend a single copper coin when it came time to pay.

Upon hearing Xie Qingyu say that this was Prince Shen's property, Princess Zhaohe accepted the offer and decided to pay for it.

Instead, he took Xie Qingyu to other shops to buy things, making it seem like they had to spend the money.

With Xie Qingyu by her side, Princess Zhaohe suddenly seemed to have something to do and became more lively.

She used to refuse invitations to all sorts of banquets, but now she attends every single one.

She chatted with people with a smile on her face, and made sure to introduce Xie Qingyu to everyone, showing her the ladies and young misses of each family and explaining their temperaments and personalities to her beforehand.

These actions clearly demonstrated her attitude towards Xie Qingyu to everyone, naturally bringing her into the circle.

Xie Qingyu's poised and confident demeanor made Princess Zhaohe even more proud.

Prince Shen did appear at the same banquet several times, but Princess Zhaohua did not give Xie Qingyu a chance to see him, keeping a tight rein on her.

But such days didn't last long.

For a month before the wedding, Xie Qingyu stayed at the Xie family home, waiting to be married.

On weekdays, she either learns to embroider a few stitches with Xinping or plays around with the younger generation of the Xie family, making her days lively and carefree.

Until the eve of their wedding.

Xie Qingyu still felt a sense of unreality even after she sat in the bridal sedan chair.

These two months have gone by so quickly, and apart from trying on her wedding dress and symbolically sewing two stitches at the Xie family home, she has done almost nothing else in her preparations.

Princess Showa came to her room last night and gave her two booklets to read carefully so she could suffer less.

For a stranger to become relatives, to go to this extent is already extremely kind.

Regardless of whether the Xie family and Prince Shen had any exchange of benefits, Princess Zhaohe was genuinely good to her.

In particular, the dowry that Princess Zhaohe sent over in the morning was a total of forty-eight loads. Adding the sixty-six loads that were officially from the Xie family and the dowries from the other aunts in the family, it was almost as high as the highest standard of one hundred and twenty loads.

Only the Crown Princess had such regulations. In the end, it was Marquis Xie who decided to remove two more tables, making a total of 118 tables for the dowry.

Xie Qingyu could be considered to have become rich overnight.

Along the way, people scattered lucky money wherever Prince Shen went. Even sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Xie Qingyu could hear the blessings from the people on both sides of the street, and the streets were filled with joy.

Although the Emperor did not attend the wedding, he sent his personal eunuch with gifts, as did the Imperial Concubine.

Xie Qingyu was satisfied that no one was sitting on the platform when she paid respects to her parents.

It wasn't until they were led into the bridal chamber that Xie Qingyu's nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed a little.

The wedding was grand, with many people in attendance, from royalty to high-ranking officials. Xie Qingyu had to be careful not to make any mistakes. Even though she was not afraid of such occasions, maintaining her focus was still very taxing.

Upon entering the bridal chamber, Xie Qingyu was led by Prince Shen, who held her hand with a red silk ribbon, to sit down on the bed.

"Rest here for a while, and I'll have Xinping bring you some food later," Prince Shen said calmly.

Xie Qingyu nodded, causing the veil on her head to sway.

However, Xie Qingyu, hidden beneath the veil, could not see that Prince Shen was now trying his best to suppress his excitement, showing none of his usual strategic and cunning demeanor, but rather revealing a rare youthful spirit.

King Shen looked at the matchmaker, who immediately and tactfully left.

"I'll lift your veil first while you eat."

The veil was originally meant to be removed when Prince Shen returned from his meal and toasts, but Prince Shen couldn't bear to see Xie Qingyu waiting for him on an empty stomach. Since they were going to eat soon, the veil was bound to be removed.

King Shen wanted to lift the veil himself first.

He wanted to be the first to see Xie Qingyu today.

As Prince Shen spoke, he picked up the veil from the table and carefully lifted Xie Qingyu's veil.

If you were to ask Prince Shen what it felt like to see Xie Qingyu's face as beautiful as a peach blossom when the veil was lifted, he would probably say that it was the most memorable moment of his life, and also the happiest moment.

Two whole months had passed since they last met. Although Xinping had been sending letters back and forth, it could not alleviate Prince Shen's longing.

However, Princess Zhaohua was very strict and wouldn't let them meet. Moreover, she specifically came to warn Prince Shen that meeting before the marriage would be bad for Xie Qingyu's reputation, which made Prince Shen reluctantly endure it and not think of any other way to meet Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu raised her slightly lowered eyes and did not miss the look of amazement in Shen Wang's eyes.

"You've seen enough, hurry up and get out, or they'll be rushing in soon." Xie Qingyu had already heard the noise outside, all of them laughing and joking that Prince Shen couldn't bear to part with his beautiful concubine and hadn't come out yet.

Prince Shen didn't want them to cause trouble in the bridal chamber now, so he could only straighten up and say, "I'll be right back. If you're hungry, eat something first. Have Xinping keep watch outside. We'll let you know if anyone comes to cause trouble in the bridal chamber. You can put the veil on then."

Even after making the arrangements, Prince Shen didn't want to leave, his eyes glued to Xie Qingyu.

Only when the jeers grew closer did they have no choice but to leave.

Xie Qingyu watched as Prince Shen walked out, then immediately turned around and closed the door. She then heard him talking to someone outside the door, and the laughter and noise faded away.

A short while later, Xinping brought in some food.

"His Highness instructed Chef Huang to set aside some small and convenient snacks for you to have a little something to eat." Xinping put down the tray and stood guard by the door.

Xie Qingyu hadn't eaten anything since morning and was starving. After eating some hot food, she felt like she had regained some strength.

Only then did I have the mind to look at the room I was in.

According to the garden's layout, Xie Qingyu should be in the backyard, which was the courtyard where Luo Qingran lived at the time.

But now, Xie Qingyu looks at it, and it doesn't seem like she's in that courtyard.

Not only have the layout and furnishings of the houses changed, but even the size of the houses is not consistent.

Looking at the light shining through the window, Xie Qingyu felt that this was like the residence of Prince Shen, only the furnishings had been changed to include many things that reflected a young lady's leisurely and elegant taste, which changed the previous rigid room layout.

Everything in the house suggests that a woman is going to live there.

Recalling the male voice that had just come from outside, Xie Qingyu could almost confirm that it was in Prince Shen's room in the front yard.

Xie Qingyu was momentarily at a loss as to what Prince Shen was thinking.

It seems that no princess lives in the front yard.

Xie Qingyu looked through the entire room, finding antique porcelain and aromatherapy tea burners.

It took a lot of thought.
