Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 54

As she walked forward, Sheng Nuan’s mind was quickly turning…

The eunuch leading her was clearly one of Princess Lin’an’s personal attendants, and it was no surprise that he didn’t give her a good look, the “little hoof¹” who seduced the prince consort.

In the original plot, the original host had refused to serve the princess and was forced to kneel all night as punishment.

Now, Sheng Nuan was just a lowly concubine. Although she had formidable martial arts skills, she couldn’t openly challenge the princess.

If that were the case, there’d be no point in doing the mission; all that would be left is to run away and roam the world. So, surviving in the Duke of Zhenbei’s manor, where danger lurks everywhere and people are pulled out as shields, is quite a skill.

Soon, they passed a rock garden and flower beds and entered a spacious and elegant room, where a wave of steam hit her face.

Sheng Nuan’s first thought was: There’s no strange incense here. Don’t ancient people love those?

“Stop, Madam Sheng.”

The eunuch’s shrill reprimand snapped Sheng Nuan back to reality, causing her to stop abruptly. She then saw that behind the white gauze curtain in front of her was a hot spring pool. Through the curtain, she could vaguely see a figure leaning against the pool, while outside the curtain, a palace maid stood there, coldly watching her.

“Su Gugu², this is Madam Sheng, here to serve Her Royal Highness during her bath,” the eunuch said with a fawning smile.

Su Lan, the maid in charge of the princess’s affairs, was highly trusted by her.

The next moment, Sheng Nuan heard Su Gugu give a slight grunt, then dismiss the eunuch with a wave of her hand before turning to Sheng Nuan with a raised eyebrow and a sneer. “Madam Sheng, please.”

Although she addressed her as “Madam Sheng,” her tone made it sound like she was calling “dog slave.”

The contempt in her demeanor was palpable, which is no wonder the original host couldn’t hold her temper and ended up being forced to kneel for an entire night.

Sheng Nuan never believed that someone else’s disdain made her truly inferior. She glanced at Su Gugu but said nothing, and without hesitation, she began to undress.

She was still wearing the bright red bridal gown from her wedding.

When she began to take it off, Su Gugu was dumbfounded. She froze for a moment before exclaiming, “What are you doing?”

“Serving the princess during her bath,” Sheng Nuan gave her a strange look. “Isn’t that what Gugu told me to do?”

Without waiting for a response, Sheng Nuan, now clad in just a thin underdress, walked directly behind the white gauze curtain. Su Gugu tried to stop her, but Sheng Nuan, not giving her a chance to punish her, nimbly avoided her and jumped straight into the hot spring pool.

Across from her, a figure wearing only white inner garments, with long hair cascading down, lay draped over the jade steps at the edge of the bath, revealing an extremely mysterious and alluring back.

Su Gugu was nearly frantic but dared not approach. Instead, she whispered urgently, “Your Highness?”

The next moment, Sheng Nuan heard a low, cold voice. “It’s fine.”

It was a pleasant, feminine voice, with an inexplicable hint of magnetism…

Sheng Nuan saw Princess Lin’an slowly turn her head to look at her. “What are you doing?”

Through the thick mist, she couldn’t see the princess’s appearance clearly, but even just the vague outline was extremely beautiful and charming.

Sheng Nuan didn’t have time to admire the beautiful woman in front of her. Her mind was already clear on what was happening.

Indeed, it was obvious that asking to serve the princess during her bath was just a pretext to deliberately make things difficult for her, waiting for her to refuse so they could punish her… She wasn’t going to be fooled.

Sheng Nuan flashed an ethusiastic smile. “I’m here to serve the princess during her bath.”

As she waded through the water toward the princess, she continued with a cheerful smile, “It’s my honor to serve Your Highness. Your Highness, there’s no need to be shy. I have everything you do, it’s no big deal…”

In that instant, Princess Lin’an, who had raised her hand to throw the person out of the bath, paused, her entire expression stiffening.

Sheng Nuan finally made her way closer.

When she finally stood in front of Princess Lin’an, she saw the appearance of this golden branch and jade leaves person… The impact was so strong that she was momentarily stunned and then wiped the corner of her mouth subconsciously.

Fortunately, she didn’t drool.

The Princess Lin’an before her had deep and exquisite features, with slightly raised brows and eyes that carried a touch of charm, yet were distant and noble… perfectly blending regal coldness with enchanting allure.

It’s unscientific. With such beauty, how could she not be sent off for political marriage?

While Sheng Nuan was observing Princess Lin’an, the princess, in turn, watched her quietly and unobtrusively, her eyes revealing a fleeting glimmer of melancholy.

Not her.

Not that proud and radiant face with a pair of fox-like eyes…

But that previous sentence, the way it was spoken, was exactly the same as how she talked.

If she was the little fairy, could it be possible for her to change her appearance?… After all, she had seen her vanish into thin air with her own eyes.

Sheng Nuan drew closer, and Princess Lin’an quickly suppressed her emotions, stepping back and turning her back to lean against the jade steps. In a cold voice, she said, “No need to serve. Do as you wish.”

“Since you’re already here, Your Highness, there’s no need to be polite with me. Do you need me to help you wipe your back…?”

Sheng Nuan, fully immersed in her act, was waiting for the princess to refuse so she could leave with a clear conscience. But unexpectedly, Princess Lin’an only hesitated for a moment before giving a soft “mm.”

Sheng Nuan was stunned… but only for a second. Then she leaned over, eagerly replying, “Allow me to help you remove your clothes, Your Highness?”

After all, she couldn’t scrub her back through her clothes.

Once again, the princess hummed…

Sheng Nuan was completely caught off guard but also a little excited… This is a real beauty! Is this something she can see without paying?

Although she didn’t have any particular fetishess, who doesn’t like a beautiful lady?

With trembling hands and a pounding heart… Sheng Nuan slowly slid the princess’s outer garment down to her waist, revealing a smooth, pale back.

Hmm, not bad at all. But… she seems a little taller than expected.

Princess Lin’an had a large frame that wasn’t noticeable when she was clothed.

But overall, she was still pleasing to the eye…

Sheng Nuan grabbed a cloth from nearby, her eyes twinkling with a “hee-hee” smile in her heart. As she gently placed it on Princess Lin’an’s back, she noticed the princess’s body tense up slightly.

She chuckled and reassured, “Your Highness, don’t be nervous. We’re all women here…”

With her back to Sheng Nuan, the light in Princess Lin’an’s eyes grew even more intense.

It’s too similar… Aside from her face, her tone, her mannerisms, and the feeling she gave… it was all too familiar.

Princess Lin’an clenched her lips, suppressing the urge to pull Sheng Nuan closer and examine her more carefully.

She had broken her promise.

She had promised to tell her before she left, but she hadn’t…

She vanished into thin air, leaving herself to sit alone at that table of cold food until dawn… and then, for a full thirteen years, she never returned.

She must have long forgotten about that poor little thing in the Cold Palace…

The hand behind her continued scrubbing, accompanied by Sheng Nuan’s cheerful, flattering voice. “Your Highness has such smooth skin. Truly, you are a national treasure…”

Sheng Nuan continued to flatter herself, not expecting the other party to pay her any attention.

But the next moment, she heard Princess Lin’an calmly say, “You’re not bad either.”

It was the first time Sheng Nuan had heard someone praise another like that: You’re not bad either.

Yep, very princess-like…

She didn’t dare take it seriously and immediately said modestly, “I am in the shape of a willow tree, a firefly in the night, how could the light of fireflies compare to the sun and moon? When I saw the princess just now, I felt as though I were gazing upon a celestial goddess from the Ninth Heaven. I could only feel profound admiration…”

Outside the gauze curtain, the palace maid Su Lan’s mouth twitched. She thought she had seen many things in the palace, but this was the first time she had been shocked by someone’s flattery.

How did this little concubine manage to flatter so exaggeratedly while making it sound so fresh, natural, and heartfelt?

I just hope the princess isn’t fooled by her…

Inside the hot spring pool, Princess Lin’an’s eyes darkened further.

It’s becoming more and more familiar… The same lightheartedness, the same smooth-talking, playful nature…

Princess Lin’an’s eyes flashed with a dim light. Without any warning, she suddenly exerted force and yanked the person behind her to the front.

Sheng Nuan, caught off guard, found herself pinned against the edge of the pool, staring dumbfounded at Princess Lin’an, whose face was now mere inches from hers, with only her shoulders and above visible.

“Your Highness, um…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the princess’s unnaturally long hand pinched her cheek.

Princess Lin’an leaned in closer, silently scrutinizing her. With her other hand, she squeezed Sheng Nuan’s cheek tightly, causing tears to well up in her eyes as she whimpered, “Your Highness…”
