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

Chapter 98 The First Beauty Who Became a Substitute Bride (14)

After Xie Siyuan left, Shen Huanyu stamped her foot and complained, "Father, why didn't you let me continue speaking and let His Highness the Prince of Chu make decisions for us?"

Shen Han scolded, "Foolish!"

"What do you expect the King of Chu to do? This is an imperial edict! Do you intend to disobey it?"

Shen Huanyu was startled by her father's reprimand, and her eyes instantly reddened. She bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I just feel resentful. Why is Shen Chumo so arrogant?"

She hasn't left the house in a long time, all because of Shen Chumo.

Madam Xu hugged her daughter tenderly and said to Shen Han, "Master, don't be too harsh. Yu'er is just feeling sorry for us."

Shen Han sighed and said solemnly, "Things have come to this point, we cannot act rashly. His Highness the Prince of Chu is right, it's just a concubine. We cannot lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small matter. Achieving great things is the most important thing."

Shen Han looked at Shen Huanyu and asked, "Huan'er, when you were alone with His Highness Prince Chu just now, did he say anything to you?"

Shen Huanyu lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said softly, "His Highness the Prince of Chu didn't say anything special, he just asked about the situation at home."

Shen Han frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Huan'er, you must spend more time with His Highness Prince Chu and try to win his favor. The fate of our Shen family may now rest on your relationship with His Highness Prince Chu."

Shen Huanyu's heart tightened, and she lowered her head in agreement.

Inside the carriage, Xie Siyuan was resting with his eyes closed when his advisor asked, "Your Highness, aren't you usually on good terms with the Minister's residence? Why are you acting this way this time..."

Xie Siyuan slightly opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect Shen Han and Xu Shi to be so clueless. Since they sent their daughter into the palace, they should have made plans as soon as possible, whether it succeeds or not."

Now that Shen Chumo has gained favor, she wants to sever ties with the Minister's mansion. If these two hadn't gone too far, why would Shen Chumo be in such a hurry?

Shen Huanyu used to think she was quite well-mannered and knowledgeable, but he never expected that losing the title of "Number One Beauty" would be such a blow to her, causing her to lose her former ethereal beauty.

A hint of disdain flashed in Xie Siyuan's eyes.

The strategist quickly nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is wise. What should we do next?"

Xie Siyuan closed his eyes again, his tone tinged with interest, "I'm actually quite interested in this Shen Chumo now. It's quite surprising that an unfavored concubine's daughter could become the most favored concubine and even draw such a map."

"If she can be used by me, that would be the best. If not, we need to prepare countermeasures in advance to prevent her from becoming an obstacle for us."

The strategist respectfully said, "Your Highness is wise. Should we send someone to secretly approach Shen Chumo and test her attitude?"

Xie Siyuan shook his head slightly: "We must not be too hasty. She is currently favored by the Emperor, and rash actions may arouse his suspicion. Let's start from the sidelines, understand her preferences and weaknesses, and then make a plan."

The strategist nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Highness. I will make the arrangements immediately."

...

A few days later, in the Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Animal Garden.

Xie Yanhuai took Shen Chumo's hand and excitedly wanted to take her to see some of the rare and exotic animals he kept.

As they entered the Beast Taming Garden, a huge white tiger came into Shen Chumo's view.

This white tiger was enormous, with snow-white fur. It lay majestically on the ground, exuding a powerful aura that inspired awe.

Its eyes, like two golden gems, exude majesty and domineering power.

As they approached, the white tiger slightly raised its head, its gaze sweeping over the group. Then it stood up, shook its fur, walked up to Xie Yanhuai, and roared.

Green Sleeves and Red Leaf were trembling with fear. This was a giant worm, a man-eating worm!

Xie Yanhuai held Shen Chumo's hand tightly and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid. This white tiger is intelligent. I rescued it from the mountains when it was a cub and it has been by my side ever since."

Shen Chumo nodded, curiously reaching out to touch the white tiger's head. To be honest, she really liked the fluffy fur, and this was a white tiger, after all. She had never been so close to a white tiger before.

The palace servants nearby were horrified. Although the white tiger usually wouldn't harm anyone, it disliked anyone getting close to it, except for Xie Yanhuai.

They couldn't bear the consequences if the Imperial Concubine were injured. The palace servants urged them, "Your Highness, you mustn't! This white tiger is ferocious; what if..."

Xie Yanhuai hesitated for a moment, "Mo Mo, how about..."

At this moment, the white tiger lowered its head, lay on the ground with its belly turned up, and whimpered at Shen Chumo as if begging for a pet.

Everyone was astonished. The White Tiger, who was usually so arrogant, was now behaving so intimately with the Imperial Concubine.

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Chumo's eyes. She stroked the white tiger's belly with both hands, and the white tiger purred softly, seemingly enjoying Shen Chumo's caresses.

Everyone was shocked and puzzled by what they saw. They couldn't understand why the ferocious white tiger would be so close to the Imperial Concubine. Did even wild beasts care about appearances?

Shen Chumo raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Ayan, look, it likes me."

Xie Yanhuai was also surprised. He could only pat the head of the white tiger, let alone its belly? That was the weak point of the beast, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone else to touch it.

Shen Chumo played with the white tiger, sometimes stroking its head, sometimes scratching its chin. The white tiger lay comfortably on the ground, enjoying Shen Chumo's caresses, its tail hooked around Shen Chumo's calf, occasionally letting out a low purr, as if it were being affectionate with Shen Chumo.

Xie Yanhuai watched from the side, his heart filled with jealousy. Mo Mo had never touched him like that before.

He snorted and took Shen Chumo's hand. "Momo, there's nothing much to see on this white tiger. Let's go look at something else."

The white tiger seemed a little reluctant to leave, gently rubbing its head against her leg. Shen Chumo gently stroked the white tiger's head and said, "Good boy, I'll come see you again next time."

The more Xie Yanhuai looked at the white tiger, the more he felt that it was very scheming. It only knew how to act cute to win Mo Mo's favor. He held Shen Chu Mo's hand tightly and left quickly, as if afraid that the white tiger would attract Shen Chu Mo's attention again.

Shen Chumo found Xie Yanhuai's childish appearance both cute and funny. "Yanhuai, why are you so stingy?"

Xie Yanhuai put his arm around Shen Chumo's waist and said, feigning grievance, "It's because you treat it so well that I'm jealous."

Shen Chumo reached out and pinched Xie Yanhuai's cheek, saying gently, "Alright, Yanhuai, don't be jealous. You are the most important person in my heart."

Xie Yanhuai then revealed a satisfied smile and gently kissed Shen Chumo's forehead.

The palace servants nearby lowered their heads and chuckled, marveling at the deep affection between the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.
