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

Wind Cloud Court.

Mu Zixuan was looking at the account books, and the other wives and concubines of Lu Chen were still in the Wind Cloud Hall and hadn't left.

They had already eaten dinner, but tonight's dinner was early, and it wasn't completely dark yet, so they didn't immediately return to their own courtyards.

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao asked, "I heard that the Princess of Great Wu has arrived?"

Wang Qingci was holding a child, comforting the child while saying, "She has indeed moved into the Prince's Mansion. Why, is Yaoyao interested in her?"

Xiao Wenyao said, "Then the Prince must have gone to her room, right?"

Zhou Youyou said, "The Prince left in such a hurry just now; he definitely went to her place."

Chu Qingli then said, "What are you discussing this for? If he went, he went. That's just the kind of person he is, and it's not like you haven't known him for just one day."

At this time, Lin Wanyun said, "That Princess has only been in the North Country for one day, and besides, she's here as a Hostage. If the Prince gets involved with her tonight, and word gets out, I'm afraid it could tarnish the Prince's reputation."

Chu Qingli indifferently said, "His lechery is already well-known, he already doesn't have a good reputation to begin with, so there's nothing to fear from others speaking about it."

Hearing Chu Qingli say this, Lin Wanyun thought to herself, that's also true; it seems another woman is about to be conquered by that little rascal.

...

Princess Junwan was kissing a man for the first time. Under Lu Chen's kiss, Princess Junwan's mind quickly became foggy. She had lived for over thirty years and had never felt this strange sensation before, which instantly made her sink into it.

After who knows how long, Princess Junwan, still hazy in consciousness, sensed her shoes being removed from her feet, and the next moment, she was moved onto the bed.

Princess Junwan opened her misty eyes, wanting to see what was happening, but the next moment, she heard a ripping sound – her Phoenix Robe seemed to have been torn apart.

Princess Junwan's heart jolted. She suddenly widened her eyes, and just as she was about to say something, Lu Chen pressed down on her again, once more sealing her enticing red lips.

"Mmph!"

"Mmmmm..."

Princess Junwan struggled weakly for a while, realizing it was futile; she was already powerless, and struggling now was utterly useless.

In order to fully conquer her, Lu Chen subsequently used the Rejuvenating Skill, channeling Spiritual Power to heal the pain in Princess Junwan's body, making her feel no discomfort at all.

Princess Junwan was incredibly shocked inside. It was her first time hearing that Lu Chen possessed such a method. Without the pain, her mind quickly became dazed.

Princess Junwan couldn't accept being thoroughly devoured by this young man; although her skill had been sealed, she still had a trick up her sleeve. She could actively manipulate her meridians, causing all her muscles to tense through her meridians, which might allow her to break free from Lu Chen.

After a little while, Lu Chen felt something different in Princess Junwan's body. He slowly lifted his chest and looked at her, puzzled.

The dignified and elegant Princess Junwan had a seductive look on her face, but her two eyes were fixed sternly on Lu Chen.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, then said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such tricks up her sleeve, impressive indeed!"

Seeing that Lu Chen had really gotten up, Princess Junwan thought her plan had worked. She sneered and said, "Prince, is that all you've got?"

"Trying to conquer me, what a joke!"

Hearing Princess Junwan's provocative words, Lu Chen didn't say anything. His lips curled slightly; truly the Princess of Great Wu, to still be so proud even after losing her purity.

But maybe Princess Junwan was underestimating him a bit too much. Although he indeed hadn't withstood her tactics, things were far from over.

Just as Princess Junwan was feeling smug in her belief that the North Prince was nothing special, Lu Chen bent down once more, sealing Princess Junwan's red lips again.

"Mmmmm..."

Princess Junwan's eyes widened, almost in disbelief.

Princess Junwan soon realized she was wrong, horribly wrong. Her little trick was utterly ineffective against Lu Chen; on the contrary, it made him very pleased.

...

Early morning.

A ray of sunshine entered the inner courtyard of the North Prince Mansion, and the wives and concubines of Lu Chen were already up. After having breakfast, those with work busied themselves with it, and those without work headed to the Wind Cloud Court.

At this time, Chu Yuqin also arrived at the Wind Cloud Court. Just as she entered, a maid hurried into the courtyard.

"Greetings to the Princess Consort, and to Madam Chu."

Mu Zixuan, who was in the pavilion, glanced at the maid and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid replied, "My lady, the entourage of Princess Junwan of Great Wu would like an audience with their princess."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin said, "You can just go and inform the Prince directly."

The maid's cheeks flushed as she said, "The Prince is still in Princess Junwan's room. I'm afraid of disturbing them."

Mu Zixuan and Chu Yuqin were both momentarily stunned, then Mu Zixuan suggested, "How about you just tell the attendants to go back for now?"

Chu Yuqin remarked from the side, "Zixuan, if we send them away directly, they might suspect that the North Prince Mansion has placed Wu Junwan under house arrest."

Although Wu Junwan had come to the North Country in the capacity of a hostage and couldn't roam freely, she still had a certain degree of liberty. If the North Country didn't even allow Wu Junwan to meet with her retainers, it would be no different from house arrest, and Great Wu would certainly be suspicious.

Once Chu Yuqin explained this, Mu Zixuan also realized the issue. Wu Junwan had just arrived at the North Prince Mansion the day before, and now denying her any visitors seemed rather indefensible.

But at this time, Lu Chen was probably in the midst of a tussle with Wu Junwan. Knowing Lu Chen as they did, they knew he likely wouldn't let her go until tonight at the earliest.

To someone like Wu Junwan, with her dignified elegance and cold stunning beauty, Lu Chen was sure to be utterly enamored.

Chu Yuqin then said, "I'll go ask Chen'er and see how he intends to deal with this."

Mu Zixuan replied, "Thank you for the trouble, Sister Chu."

Mu Zixuan didn't want to disturb Lu Chen while he was likely having a good time. Of all the people in the North Prince Mansion, only Chu Yuqin had some sway over Lu Chen, so it was best for Chu Yuqin to approach him.

Chu Yuqin then turned and followed the maid who had come to report, heading towards the courtyard where Wu Junwan was staying. Upon reaching the outside of Wu Junwan's room, Chu Yuqin heard some strange noises.

"Your Majesty, how is my strength?"

"Spare... me..."

"Weren't you very arrogant yesterday?"

"I was wrong..."

"Still addressing yourself as 'this palace'? Didn't I tell you that you're now the Empress?"

"I admit my mistake..."

...

Upon hearing these words, Chu Yuqin curled her lips, seemingly confirming what that bitch Wang Qingci had said—Lu Chen really did enjoy playing such games.

At that moment, Chu Yuqin coughed and then spoke, "Chen'er, the attendants of the princess would like to see her. What do you think should be done?"

Soon, Lu Chen's voice came from the room, "Huh… Madam Chu, just tell those people that their princess is in a bad mood right now and doesn't want to see them. Ask them to come back tomorrow."

This...

Chu Yuqin thought to herself, would this work?

"Alright, I understand," she responded.

Afterwards, Chu Yuqin turned and headed towards the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, not sure if she could fool those people, but still intending to try.

Before long, Chu Yuqin reached the entrance and saw the people from Great Wu, including Hu Shu.

Chu Yuqin directly told them, "Your princess said she's in no mood to see anyone right now and asked you to come find her tomorrow."

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, everyone at the door was taken aback.

In a bad mood?

Could it really be that she wouldn't see them just because she was in a bad mood? Or could it be that their princess had been placed under house arrest by the North Prince Mansion?

Hu Shu frowned and then asked, "Did the princess really say that?"

Chu Yuqin answered, "You'll know when you see her tomorrow. She is indeed in a bad mood."

Hu Shu then refrained from asking further, "This old one understands. Please convey our message that I will visit her tomorrow."

"Alright," said Chu Yuqin.

With that, Hu Shu led the people from the Princess Mansion away.

As those people left, Chu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with worry, uncertain if she had managed to deceive them.

But then again, even if they met Wu Junwan tomorrow, Wu Junwan certainly wouldn't dare tell them about having her virginity taken, would she?
