Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Hearing this, Lin Wanyun hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that won't do."

"The Lin Family is still in the Capital city, and if I, as their adopted daughter, were to marry the North Prince, it could easily be used by some to attack the Lin Family. They could claim that the Lin Family has sided with the North Prince, and this could bring significant trouble to them."

"Moreover, Rongrong and I share a bond like mother and daughter. Rongrong will definitely marry into the North Prince Mansion in the future. If I also marry into the North Prince's Mansion, it would be somewhat inappropriate."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin gave a slight smile. She took Lin Wanyun's jade hand and, gazing into her face, said, "Sister Lin, not many people are aware of your relationship with Miss Chen, and no one will care about what your relationship is."

"Look at me; I've been taking care of Chen'er since he was a child, and in the end, he still took me into the Prince's Mansion. Now nobody is saying anything about us; you're overthinking it."

"As for your relationship with the Lin Family, this could indeed bring them trouble, but I believe Lu Chen will soon be able to resolve this issue."

Lin Wanyun sighed and said, "Let's talk about this matter later."

Chu Yuqin did not continue on the topic. Instead, she asked, "By the way, how is Miss Chen doing in the Mysterious Moon Palace now?"

Lin Wanyun replied, "She's fine. The Honorable has forgiven her, and she is still managing the entire Mysterious Moon Palace."

Chu Yuqin said, "That's good to hear."

At this point, Chu Yuqin took Lin Wanyun's hand again, and they chatted about some woman-to-woman topics.

About half an hour later, they got up from the flower beds and prepared to head back to the courtyard for some tea.

However, as the two beautiful ladies walked past Wang Qingci's courtyard, they suddenly heard noises coming from inside.

This...

Both of them were startled.

How could there be noises?

The new Prince's Mansion was different from the old one. Having lived in the Prince's Mansion for quite some time, they knew the setup: the doors and windows of the Prince's Mansion were specially made such that once closed, the inside noise would be blocked off.

Even if someone could hear from the outside, it would be an extremely faint sound, and under no circumstance could it travel outside to the walkway of the courtyard.

But today, the two of them heard noises on the walkway, which puzzled them.

Could that little rascal have opened the doors and windows to create a thrill?

Thinking this, the two beautiful ladies glanced at each other.

Then Chu Yuqin said, "This naughty thing, he must have deliberately left the doors and windows open!"

With a blushing face, Lin Wanyun said, "Yuqin, let's hurry to the Yunrong Courtyard."

Chu Yuqin replied, "Yes, let's go."

Then, the two beautiful ladies quickened their pace and walked past Wang Qingci's courtyard.

Meanwhile.

Inside Wang Qingci's bridal chamber, Lu Chen and Wang Qingci were both standing by the window, enjoying the view of the courtyard. Lu Chen had his arms around Wang Qingci's body, laughing as he said, "I don't even know what to say to you. You will have to call me 'darling' from now on, not 'master'."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingci responded weakly, "Regardless, in my heart, I've always been your female slave."

Lu Chen chuckled, then embraced Wang Qingci and slowly returned to the bed.

Once back on the bed, Lu Chen adjusted Wang Qingci's red wedding dress, saying as he did so, "You really didn't need to go to such lengths. Whether or not we have a wedding night is not so important to me."

Wang Qingci was already carrying his child, and even if she didn't serve him, Lu Chen wouldn't say anything. However, Wang Qingci insisted on serving him, so Lu Chen had to find another way.

When Lu Chen was with his wives and concubines, his goal was very clear, which was to have them bear his children, so he rarely engaged in deviant practices and had never strayed from the path.

Seeing Wang Qingci's hair had become wet with sweat, Lu Chen lifted his hand and began to play with her hair, pushing it aside to get a clearer view of her charming and tempting face.

It was at this moment that Wang Qingci's complexion suddenly changed, turning somewhat pale, and then she began to heave.

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly got up and gently patted her back.

With a smile on his face, Lu Chen said, "I told you that you're carrying my child, but you didn't believe me; look, you've started to have morning sickness."

After retching for a while, Wang Qingci turned to look at Lu Chen, her eyes seeming to carry a bit of resentment.

This was no morning sickness; it was obviously...

Lu Chen, the naughty thing.

Well, it was her own choice, so she couldn't really blame Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. You rest well, and don't hurt our child."

Hearing this, Wang Qingci chuckled softly and said, "Are you scared of me, Prince?"

Challenged by Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen laughed and then pressed her back onto the bed.

This bitch, if she wasn't properly disciplined, she would never learn restraint.

Since he'd already strayed, he might as well continue down that path.

...

At this very moment.

Great Jue Mansion in the North Country.

Murong Xue'er was pondering over the letter in her hands. The Yue Emperor had asked her to find a way to get close to Lu Chen and try to learn the origin of North Country's secret weapon.

Murong Xue'er had long heard of North Country's secret weapon, but it was not easy for her to get close to the North Prince. He had taken another concubine today, and his harem was already filled with countless women.
