Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 97 The First Beauty Who Became a Substitute Bride (13)
Xie Yanhuai finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Imperial Physician Wen lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now. Please summon me at any time if needed."
Xie Yanhuai nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave. After Imperial Physician Wen left, only Xie Yanhuai and Shen Chumo remained in Qianyang Palace.
Xie Yanhuai hugged Shen Chumo from behind, buried his head in her shoulder, and took a deep breath.
"Mo Mo, I miss you so much."
He loved the scent around Momo; every time he smelled it, he could relax involuntarily.
Shen Chumo felt somewhat helpless. Shouldn't Xie Yanhuai be cold, ruthless, and decisive? Why was he so clingy and affectionate with her, acting like a big puppy?
Xie Yanhuai only learned to restrain himself when he was pretending to be a eunuch, but now he doesn't pretend at all.
Shen Chumo pried his hand away and said in a soft voice, "Alright, Ayan, take a look at the map I drew. I spent several hours drawing it."
Xie Yanhuai glanced casually at the map on the table, and the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
This map is more detailed and accurate than previous maps, with mountains, rivers, towns and villages clearly visible, and even the scale is carefully marked.
Xie Yanhuai looked at Shen Chumo in shock, his eyes filled with admiration and amazement.
"MoMo, did you draw this?" Xie Yanhuai's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
Shen Chumo nodded slightly, a proud smile on her face. "I drew it. Today, while browsing through books in Qianyang Palace, I found an old map, but many parts of it were unclear."
I often enjoy reading strange and unusual books, and after much thought, I feel that this map could be improved based on records from certain regions. Ah Yan, what do you think?
Xie Yanhuai kept praising, "I think it's excellent, Momo. You've really impressed me. This map is so ingenious that it will be of great help in military deployment."
Tomorrow, I will send someone to draw this map and send it to the border. Momo, I will also let everyone know that this map was created by you, and all the border soldiers will be grateful to you in the future.”
Shen Chumo's smile widened, and she felt even more satisfied with Xie Yanhuai. He was a sensible person, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Shen Chumo nestled in Xie Yan's arms, her eyes clear and bright, as if sprinkled with stars.
"Ayan, I'm glad I could help you."
Xie Yanhuai's eyes were deep as he leaned close to Shen Chumo's ear and said, "Perhaps you can help me with other things."
Shen Chumo: "..."
In the following days, Xie Yanhuai spent all his time with Shen Chumo except when he was in court. The news spread throughout Chang'an that the so-called number one beauty was Shen Chumo, the concubine's daughter of the Minister's family, who was deeply favored by the emperor and was now a Noble Consort.
This imperial concubine was exceptionally beautiful, undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world. Everyone who saw her was amazed by her unparalleled beauty, as if a goddess had descended to earth.
Moreover, the Imperial Concubine is not only beautiful but also talented. It is said that the latest version of the map was drawn by the Imperial Concubine. She is truly a good Imperial Concubine who cares for the country and its people.
Shen Chumo's reputation among the common people rose, but everyone in the Shen family wore a worried expression, simply because the imperial edict had just been issued to the Shen residence.
"Because the Imperial Concubine misses her mother, she requests Minister Shen to grant Lady Wu a letter of release from her concubine status, so that Lady Wu's future marriages will have no further connection with the Shen family."
After the head eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he turned to Shen Han and Madam Xu, whose faces were grim, and said, "Lord Shen, His Majesty said that the Imperial Concubine's maids, Lüxiu and Hongye, have served her diligently, and His Majesty is very satisfied."
Since these maids have already been given to the Imperial Concubine, why are they still holding onto their indentures? We request that you, sir, return these two maids' indentures to the Imperial Concubine.
Shen Han's face was ashen, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness. He never expected that the emperor would issue a special decree for Shen Chumo.
But he could not disobey the imperial decree, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and respectfully say, "Your subject obeys the decree."
Madam Xu was trembling with anger, but dared not retaliate. She had originally intended to use the indentures of these two maids to control Shen Chumo, but she hadn't expected the Emperor to intervene.
Shen Han sighed helplessly, turned around and ordered his servants to fetch the indentures of Green Sleeve and Red Leaf.
A moment later, the contract of indenture was presented. The head eunuch took the contract and said with satisfaction, "Lord Shen is indeed sensible. I will report the truth to the Emperor."
"By the way, the sedan chair to pick up Madam Wu will be waiting outside the mansion at noon tomorrow. I'll take my leave now."
After speaking, the chief eunuch left the Minister's residence with the indenture. Shen Han and Madam Xu watched him leave.
She cursed angrily, "You wretched girl! I should have strangled her when she was born, so she wouldn't be going against us at every turn now." Madam Xu's face was contorted, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.
Shen Han also had a gloomy expression. "Now that she has the Emperor's favor, she doesn't even care about us. This girl thinks she can get rid of us completely."
A clear, elegant voice rang out behind Shen Han: "Oh? Is Lord Shen referring to the current Imperial Concubine?"
The man strolled out from the side room behind him, wearing a moon-white brocade robe with elegant bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the hem. A matching belt was tied around his waist, from which hung a piece of mutton-fat jade.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, seemingly possessing an innate noble air.
Shen Huanyu, dressed in a light pink silk dress, the hem of which fluttered lightly like flower petals, followed behind the man. Her eyes gazed at him with a shy and timid look, her cheeks slightly flushed, her heart filled with admiration for him.
Shen Han quickly turned around and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, it is indeed my wretched daughter. She has only received a little favor, yet she wants me to write a letter of release from her position as a concubine. I am truly ashamed."
Madam Xu also said, "Your Highness, we have always treated them, mother and daughter, well and have served them with great care. Now that this decree has been issued, I'm afraid the whole city will think that we have mistreated them. I feel truly wronged."
After saying that, Mrs. Xu pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, making her look like she had really been wronged.
Seeing this, Shen Huanyu quickly stepped forward and took Xu's arm, gently comforting her, "Mother, don't be sad. Shen Chumo is so unfilial, he will surely not have a good end."
She turned to look at Xie Siyuan, her eyes filled with expectation, as if hoping he could make a decision for them.
Xie Siyuan, however, did not do as she expected. Instead, he frowned and said, "Now that Shen Chumo is a Noble Consort, her birth mother cannot be a lowly concubine. It is reasonable for her to want to seek freedom for her mother."
"Lord Shen, she's just a concubine. Don't let such a trivial matter ruin our important plans." Xie Siyuan's tone carried a hint of threat, and his eyes revealed a touch of authority.
Shen Han's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Your Highness is right. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will handle this matter properly."
Shen Huanyu was unwilling to give up. She bit her lip, wanting to say something, but was stopped by a look from Shen Han.
The King of Chu nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to leave.
