Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Chapter 1 System Activation

He transmigrated and became the ninth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, but this identity brought Lu Chen a lot of trouble.

Lu Chen looked at the imperial edict in his hand and sighed deeply.

At this moment, a woman with a voluptuous figure, wearing a green dress, entered the hall where Lu Chen was.

Seeing Lu Chen's worried expression, the woman comforted him, saying, "Chen'er, there's no danger in the north, and it's far from the capital. It might be a good place for you."

The woman's voice was gentle and clear, like a spring breeze blowing into one's heart.

Lu Chen looked up at the woman in front of him, and the worry on his face vanished.

The woman's name was Chu Yuqin. She used to be his mother's maid, but his mother always treated her like her own sister, so Lu Chen also called her Aunt Chu.

When Lu Chen was ten years old, his mother passed away, and Chu Yuqin took care of him ever since.

Not long after he transmigrated to this world, he regained his memories of Earth, but these memories were not of much help to him.

Unlike the transmigrators in novels who know everything, he doesn't know much about science and engineering, except for some common sense. He also can't remember many ancient poems. Even though he memorized ancient poems every day when he was in high school, he has forgotten them all by now. You could say that he is no different from the ancients.

As for politics, Lu Chen knew absolutely nothing about it, but he did know one thing: never get involved in the struggle for the throne, or you wouldn't even know how you died.

Her mother was born into the Chu family, a prominent clan in Jiangnan. If he wanted to participate in the struggle for the throne, he wouldn't be completely without support. Moreover, there had always been people trying to seduce him, wanting him to compete for that position. Fortunately, he knew his own limitations.

His current life of being waited on hand and foot is actually not bad; he has no need to take any risks.

It's a bit of a shame that he'll soon be going to the harsh, cold north to suffer.

Perhaps because he was too incompetent and only knew how to enjoy life, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was also his father, bestowed a marriage upon Mu Zixuan on the grounds that he had come of age and made him a fief in the Northern Commandery.

In the past, countless men would have wanted to marry Mu Zixuan, the most talented woman in the capital.

But things are different now. Mu Zixuan's family had connections with a family that was plotting a rebellion. Although the Mu family used an ironclad document to protect itself from death, its status plummeted.

Anyone with a modicum of political acumen knows that marrying Mu Zixuan essentially means losing any chance of becoming the crown prince.

Lu Chen didn't care about the position of crown prince. He just felt that the Mu family was connected with the family that was plotting a rebellion, and he wondered if marrying Mu Zixuan would one day affect his wonderful life.

Despite his worries, this was a marriage bestowed by his father, the emperor, and he could not refuse; he could only accept it.

At this moment, Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he said, "Aunt Chu, if I go to Beijun, won't you feel lonely all alone in the capital?"

Besides being Lu Chen's mother's maid, Chu Yuqin also had a special identity: she came from the Chu family and represented the interests of the entire Chu family in front of Lu Chen.

However, after Lu Chen married Mu Zixuan and went to Beijun, it meant that he had completely lost the possibility of becoming the crown prince. The Chu family would no longer place their bets on him, and Chu Yuqin would probably leave him as well.

Chu Yuqin's strength has reached the ninth rank. In this world, there are not many ninth-rank experts in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and the Chu family would not allow a ninth-rank expert to follow a useless prince.

Chu Yuqin smiled and then replied, "If you go to Beijun, I will go with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.

Lu Chen asked doubtfully, "Aunt Chu, are you sure you want to come to Beijun with me?"

Chu Yuqin replied with a smile, "Of course, I promised your mother that I would protect you for the rest of my life."

"You're asking this question because you've got a princess now, so you don't want her anymore?"

Lu Chen quickly replied, "How could that be? I'd love for Aunt Chu to come to Beijun with me. Without you, Aunt Chu, I might not even be able to sleep."

At this point, Lu Chen glanced at Chu Yuqin.

Chu Yuqin is twenty-eight years old this year, but she is still stunningly beautiful.

She wore a light blue dress, and her stunningly beautiful face, as fair as snow, was flawless. Her fair complexion was flushed with a faint blush, making her delicate and charming. Her eyes were clear as spring water, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved, showing a smile with joy. She was serene and gentle.

Her jet-black hair was combed back and styled into a high bun, with a jade hairpin framing her fair shoulders. The willow-like strands of hair swayed in the wind. The jet-black pearl on the jade hairpin made her jet-black hair shine even brighter, and her exquisite curves accentuated her cyan dress, making her look even more charming.

Lu Chen's feelings for Chu Yuqin were rather complicated, but he knew one thing for himself: he was very attracted to Chu Yuqin.

He would really miss Chu Yuqin if she left his side.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin said affectionately, "Alright, stop being silly, let's get on with your wedding preparations."

……

a few days later.

The Northern Prince's Mansion was bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and adorned with large red lanterns.

Today is Lu Chen's big day, and almost all the ministers, whether or not they have a good relationship with Lu Chen, have come.

After the wedding banquet, Lu Chen couldn't wait to go to the bridal chamber.

Lu Chen has figured it out in the past few days. No matter what Mu Zixuan's family has done, Mu Zixuan has already married him, so he doesn't need to care too much.

Now that Mu Zixuan had married him, she would be his queen from now on. Just thinking about how Mu Zixuan was rumored to be a great beauty filled Lu Chen with excitement.

Unlike Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen, although he cared about Chu Yuqin, had a special status, while Mu Zixuan was now married to him, making her someone he could genuinely reach.

Upon entering the bridal chamber, Lu Chen's gaze immediately locked onto the wedding bed.

At this moment, a woman dressed in a bright red wedding gown sat on the wedding bed. She was covered with a veil, so her face could not be seen, but her graceful figure had already captured Lu Chen's heart.

On either side of the woman stood two maids, both of whom were very beautiful. In his previous life, it would have been very difficult for Lu Chen to marry such beautiful maids as wives.

Lu Chen approached Mu Zixuan with excitement, then took a jade stick from the maid and gently lifted the veil.

The next moment, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.

Mu Zixuan was like a fairy who had fallen to earth, or a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm, leaving Lu Chen completely stunned.

Mu Zixuan blushed and said shyly, "Husband, it's time to drink..."

Seeing Mu Zixuan's shy appearance, Lu Chen could no longer resist and pounced on her.

The two maids originally wanted to remind Lu Chen to drink the nuptial wine, but seeing that Lu Chen had already started doing the proper things, they could only stand quietly to the side and serve him.

I don't know how much time passed.

Lu Chen held Mu Zixuan's body as they lay on the bed, completely relaxing.

Perhaps this is the life he wants.

But just then, a strange woman's voice rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired your first wife and activated the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system!]
