Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Chapter 88 The First Beauty Who Became a Substitute Bride (4)

The next day, Xie Yanhuai calmly entered the room to serve. Shen Chumo, with her hair down, stopped abruptly as she walked past Xie Yanhuai, tilted her head to look at him, and said in a soft voice, "Xie Yanhuai, you have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xie Yanhuai swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, a cat entered my bedchamber last night, which is why I haven't been able to sleep well."

Shen Chumo scoffed inwardly. He was clearly the cat, yet he couldn't even pass for a eunuch. His voice was so deep; he didn't sound like a eunuch at all.

Shen Chumo smiled and said, "I guess one of the cats is in heat. I've heard that cats are the most fussy when they're in heat. The best way to calm them down is to neuter them. Don't you think so?"

Xie Yanhuai suddenly felt a tightness in his lower body. "Your Majesty is right." His voice was a little dry, and a hint of embarrassment showed in his eyes.

Shen Chumo ignored Xie Yanhuai and, after washing up, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and began to comb her hair.

Greensleeves stood behind her, gently lifting her smooth, silky long hair, and then slowly combing it.

As Green Sleeves moved, Shen Chumo's neck was gradually revealed. Her fair and slender neck was particularly dazzling in the morning sunlight, as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade.

Xie Yanhuai watched this scene silently, his gaze falling on Shen Chumo's neck, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

He gazed silently at that fair neck, a strange impulse rising within him, as if he wanted to reach out and touch that soft skin.

However, he managed to restrain himself and simply watched Shen Chumo's back silently, his eyes growing increasingly intense.

After finishing her hair and makeup, Hongye also brought back today's breakfast and laid it out on the table.

Hongye said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I never expected the palace rations to be so generous. I've never seen these things before!"

"Hmm, it is indeed a very sumptuous feast." Shen Chumo looked at the table full of delicious food and felt pleased. It seems that this tyrant does have some redeeming qualities.

She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of pastry, and put it in her mouth, savoring it carefully. The pastry melted in her mouth, sweet but not cloying, with a faint floral fragrance.

Shen Chumo narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying the delicious moment. Xie Yanhuai glanced at the pastry a few more times, feeling extremely satisfied. It seemed that the chefs in the harem were quite capable and deserved a reward.

After having breakfast, Shen Chumo walked somewhat bored to the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Looking up at the sky, the clear blue sky resembled a giant sapphire, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily by.

Shen Chumo thought to herself, "No wonder when I watched palace dramas, those women were always vying for the emperor's favor. They were trapped in their own little world all day long, unable to do anything. Of course they wanted to cause some trouble."

Shen Chumo turned to Xie Yanhuai and asked, "Little Huaizi, can you make a swing?" Her eyes held a hint of expectation, and her beautiful eyes sparkled, which made Xie Yanhuai's heart flutter slightly.

He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, this servant will do it."

Shen Chumo smiled happily, "That's great! Go and prepare the materials to make me a swing."

Even knowing that Xiao Huaizi was the tyrant, Shen Chumo still didn't hold back when ordering Xie Yanhuai around.

After Shen Chumo had Xie Yanhuai finish making the swing, she instructed him to make a cool chair. Xie Yanhuai silently worked according to Shen Chumo's instructions without any complaints.

The shadow guards hiding in the shadows were stunned by what they saw. Was this... was this still their emperor? Had he been replaced?

His hands deftly manipulated the wood, sweat trickling down his forehead, but it did nothing to affect his concentration.

However, whenever Xie Yanhuai completed a step, he would unconsciously raise his head and fix his gaze on Shen Chumo, who was not far away.

Shen Chumo was sitting on the swing, looking at him with a smile as bright as a flower. Her eyes were full of appreciation and expectation. Her radiant smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, which made Xie Yanhuai's heart tremble.

"Little Huaizi, you're so amazing!" Shen Chumo's cheerful voice rang out.

"Little Huaizi, your cooking is amazing!"

"Little Huaizi, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit and have some water?"

Every compliment and every act of concern filled Xie Yanhuai with an indescribable sense of satisfaction and joy, and his movements became even more vigorous.

Xie Yanhuai suddenly realized that being the emperor was not as interesting as making a cool chair for Shen Chumo.

Seeing that Shen Chumo's attention was entirely on Xie Yanhuai, Lvxiu and Hongye glared at Xie Yanhuai angrily. This guy was really scheming, deliberately showing off.

When the lounge chair was finally completed, Shen Chumo couldn't wait to sit down and try it out. The lounge chair was comfortable and sturdy, which made her very satisfied.

"Little Huaizi, you did a really good job," Shen Chumo praised happily.

Xie Yanhuai lowered his head slightly, "It is my honor to serve Your Highness." A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"Oh dear, Xiao Huaizi, your hand is injured." Shen Chumo frowned as she looked at Xie Yanhuai's hand.

Xie Yanhuai looked up and saw that he had been working too hastily, and some wood shavings had gotten into his hand.

He wanted to wave his hand dismissively and say it was nothing, but seeing Shen Chumo's worried eyes, he swallowed the words back.

Shen Chumo hurriedly grabbed his hand and carefully examined the wood chips embedded in his flesh. "What should we do? We have to pick the wood chips out quickly, or it will get infected." Her voice was full of anxiety.

Seeing Shen Chumo's worried expression, Xie Yanhuai felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He had never felt such care before, and this feeling of being cared for made him feel somewhat at a loss.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury," Xie Yanhuai said in a hoarse voice.

"How can that be?" Shen Chumo glared at him. "Go find some needles and some wine. I'll help you pick out the sawdust."

Seeing Shen Chumo's determined gaze, Xie Yanhuai obediently followed her instructions to prepare the things.

Soon, everything was found.

Shen Chumo carefully picked at the wood shavings with a needle, being extra careful with each touch, afraid of hurting Xie Yanhuai.

"Does it hurt?" Shen Chumo approached Xie Yanhuai's fingers, and as she spoke, the fragrance of her breath wafted onto Xie Yanhuai's hand, causing Xie Yanhuai's heart to flutter.

Xie Yanhuai blushed slightly, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt."

This slight pain was nothing compared to his severe headache; however, the soft touch of Shen Chumo's hand in his made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

Shen Chumo looked up at him and scolded, "Don't be so stubborn. These wood chips are deep. If you're not careful, you could get an infection."

Xie Yanhuai stared blankly at Shen Chumo's serious expression for a moment, his gaze seemingly drawn to her. His throat went dry, and a burning desire rose in his abdomen, making him wish he could devour the person before him.

Xie Yanhuai felt a pang of regret. Perhaps he should have revealed his identity earlier, so that he could have her openly and legitimately.
