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

Chapter 126 Mu Zixuan's Inner Worries

Hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Lu Chen smiled slightly. Of course, he knew who Chu Yuqin was planning to introduce to him.

Lu Chen's gaze then fell on Chu Qingli, who was next to Chu Yuqin.

Chu Qingli had a cold expression, dressed in a green robe, holding a sword in her hand. She had a beautiful and aloof appearance, a tall and slender figure, and a waist so delicate that it could be encircled by a hand, like a fairy from heaven.

Like Bai Qingqing, she was a cold and aloof woman.

However, her coldness is different from Bai Qingqing's. Bai Qingqing's coldness is aloof and devoid of emotion, while Chu Qingli's coldness is arrogant. Her coldness is more like an outward appearance; what her heart is like is uncertain.

Lu Chen looked at Chu Qingli and said, "Aunt Chu, is the girl next to you the one you're introducing me to?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Yes, this is my younger sister, her name is Chu Qingli."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Aunt Chu's sister? Then should I call her 'Aunt' too?"

Chu Yuqin said, "No need for that, just call her Qingli."

Although in terms of seniority, it wouldn't be a problem for Lu Chen to call Chu Qingli "aunt," Lu Chen is, after all, a prince, and he can't call everyone "aunt." A prince has the dignity of a prince.

As for Chu Yuqin herself, Lu Chen has called her "Auntie" since he was a child, and he has been doing so for more than ten years. Chu Yuqin herself has also called Chen'er for more than ten years. So it doesn't matter if the two of them call each other that, but others certainly can't call each other that anymore.

At this moment, Chu Qingli reluctantly approached Lu Chen, bowed, and said, "This commoner greets Your Highness."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Qingli, we're all family, there's no need to be so polite."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Qingli found it somewhat amusing. Who was related to this lecherous man?

At this moment, Chu Yuqin continued, "Chen'er, I'd like Qingli to be the deputy commander of the inner guards in the Prince's mansion. What do you think?"

The Prince's Mansion is, after all, Lu Chen's mansion, so a position like Commander definitely requires Lu Chen's approval.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin's words, Lu Chen replied without hesitation, "Okay, no problem."

"It just so happens that I was planning to make Xiaobai my personal bodyguard. From now on, Qingli will take Xiaobai's place."

Lu Chen originally intended for Bai Qingqing to remain the deputy commander of the inner guards, but since Chu Qingli was coming in, he decided to let her take on the role of deputy commander.

In Lu Chen's opinion, the more women he had in his inner courtyard, the better, especially those with a score of 90 or higher.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen, then at Chu Qingli out of the corner of her eye, and finally asked with concern, "Chen'er, Auntie heard that you led the soldiers of Beijun to fight against 300,000 barbarian troops all night. Were you injured? Is anything bothering you?"

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Ah, Aunt Chu, it would have been better if you hadn't asked. Now that you've asked, my dantian is starting to hurt again."

"I don't know if it's because I've used up too much of my energy, but these past few days I've often felt that my internal energy isn't flowing smoothly, I can't muster any energy, and I also have difficulty breathing."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Yuqin's face instantly showed worry. She then asked, "Don't you know how to use that kind of technique to heal yourself? Xiaobai's strength should be above mine. Didn't you go to her for help?"

The cultivation technique Chu Yuqin was referring to was naturally the Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique. However, because her younger sister Chu Qingli was there, she dared not say it directly. After all, that technique was a dual cultivation type, and saying it would expose her intimate contact with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen then said, "Aunt Chu, have you forgotten that Xiao Bai is a person without feelings? To activate that technique, you need someone who is in tune with my mind; otherwise, no matter how strong she is, it's useless."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Chu Yuqin remembered that Lu Chen had indeed told her from the beginning that only when a woman who had feelings for him came into contact with him could the cultivation technique he practiced take effect.

Although Bai Qingqing is already Lu Chen's woman, she has no feelings for him. So no matter how intimate Bai Qingqing and Lu Chen are, it's useless. Even if they share a bed, they can't make Lu Chen's special cultivation technique work.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin couldn't help but blush. So, only she could treat Chen'er's body, and no other woman could.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin felt a strange sensation, a mixture of satisfaction and shame.

Hearing Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin's conversation, Chu Qingli frowned slightly and looked at the two of them with suspicion.

She always felt that Chu Yuqin and Lu Chen were having an affair.

What kind of cultivation technique requires a connection of minds? And does it require two people?

Just by listening to it, you can tell it's not some legitimate cultivation method.

Chu Yuqin noticed her sister's suspicious gaze at this moment. She coughed and quickly said to Lu Chen, "Chen'er, I'll take Qingli back to the palace to arrange a room for her. We can talk about it later."

Lu Chen said, "Okay."

Chu Yuqin then said to Chu Qingli, "Qingli, come with me, I'll arrange accommodations for you."

Chu Qingli didn't think too much about it and followed Chu Yuqin into the Prince's mansion. Since she was already there, her sister's every move would be under her surveillance. If her sister had any special relationship with the Prince of the North, she would find out sooner or later.

After everyone had entered the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen also turned around and entered the mansion.

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Mu Zixuan immediately handed the child to the wet nurse and went to take a bath. It seemed that all the women in the Prince's residence were of one mind, and the first thing they did upon returning was to take a bath.

When Lu Chen arrived at Mu Zixuan's room, Mu Zixuan was tidying her hair. When she saw Lu Chen come in, Mu Zixuan immediately stood up and was about to bow when Lu Chen pulled her into his arms before she could even stand properly.

Mu Zixuan's delicate body pressed tightly against Lu Chen's broad chest. In an instant, a masculine scent wafted through Mu Zixuan's nostrils and into her brain, causing her heart to flutter wildly and her body to tremble slightly.

Mu Zixuan blushed and said, "Your Highness, my hair is not done yet."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, gently stroking Mu Zixuan's back, then put his arm around her and walked towards the bed, saying as they walked, "It's okay, it'll all be messed up later anyway."

Lu Chen had long planned to cultivate the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Technique with his wives and concubines. Several of his wives and concubines were ordinary people, whose lifespan was only about one hundred years.

Lu Chen didn't want to see them die of old age. As his cultivation level increased, his wives, concubines, and children would likely die before him. Therefore, Lu Chen planned to start cultivating with his wives and concubines from now on.

The Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Scripture can help those who do not practice martial arts to acquire internal energy and continuously improve their strength. Once Mu Zixuan and the others have acquired a certain amount of internal energy, he will find some suitable cultivation methods for them to practice.

As for how many years they can live, that's up to fate. Anyway, Lu Chen will try his best to let them live a few more years.

After Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan got to the bed, Lu Chen first did the real business with Mu Zixuan, and then used the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Technique when they were almost done.

Although Mu Zixuan was an ordinary person, when internal energy appeared in her body, she realized that Lu Chen was modifying her body, and then she cooperated with Lu Chen even more.

……

at the same time.

The inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

After arranging accommodations for Chu Qingli, Chu Yuqin took Chu Qingli on a patrol of the inner courtyard. Since Chu Qingli would be the commander of the inner courtyard guards from now on, she needed to familiarize herself with the different areas of the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

When Chu Yuqin brought Chu Qingli to Mu Zixuan's courtyard, Chu Yuqin said to Chu Qingli, "Qingli, there are three rooms in this courtyard. The one in the very middle is the Princess's room, and Chen'er usually sleeps in that room too."

"The room next door..."

Before Chu Yuqin could finish speaking, she faintly heard some strange noises coming from inside the room. As someone who often stayed in the Prince's mansion, Chu Yuqin naturally knew what those noises were.

At this moment, a blush appeared on Chu Yuqin's face.

Chu Qingli naturally heard that voice as well.

She was an assassin who often did killings for the Chu family, especially killing men. Although she was still a virgin, she often encountered her targets doing those things, so she understood what the sound was.

Chu Qingli snorted coldly and said, "As expected, he's a lecherous man."

The princess had just returned to Yancheng after a long journey when that lecherous man assaulted her.

It seems the rumors outside are indeed true. The only mistake is that although the Northern King is a lecher, he still has some strength and is not completely incompetent.

If he were incompetent, Yancheng would not have been able to be defended, and he would not have been able to command 50,000 heavy cavalry.

However, even if Lu Chen is powerful, it cannot change the fact that he is a lecherous man. Chu Qingli is a little worried that if Chu Yuqin continues to stay in the palace, will she one day be dragged to bed by the Northern King?

As Chu Yuqin's younger sister, she would never allow such a thing to happen; she was determined to find a way to save her sister from this predicament.

Chu Yuqin said awkwardly, "Let's go somewhere else..."

Mu Zixuan's voice grew louder and louder; it wasn't good to stay there eavesdropping.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yuqin took Chu Qingli to another place.

I don't know how much time passed.

Mu Zixuan got up to help Lu Chen get dressed. Mu Zixuan didn't intend to keep Lu Chen here for the whole day, after all, Lu Chen had several other women.

Moreover, if Lu Chen were to stay with me for a whole day, my body wouldn't be able to handle it.

Mu Zixuan then said, "Your Highness, I just felt a warm current flowing through my body. Is that Your Highness infusing me with internal energy?"

Mu Zixuan was the descendant of a general, so even though she hadn't practiced martial arts, she still had some understanding of internal energy.

Lu Chen said, "Yes, I have cultivated a special technique that allows me to cultivate alongside you while we are doing something."

At this point, Lu Chen turned to look at Mu Zixuan, then stroked her beautiful face and said, "My beloved concubine, you, Youyou, and Xiaoxiao are all ordinary people. If the three of you don't practice martial arts, you will only have a lifespan of a hundred years at most. I don't want to see you die before me."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan's heart trembled; she had never thought about this question before.

Thinking about it now, the lifespan of an ordinary person is at most a hundred years, while a Grandmaster or a martial artist in the Celestial Realm has a lifespan of at least several hundred years.

In other words, while Lu Chen was still young and strong, the three of them already had gray hair.

The thought that Lu Chen might lose interest in them when they get old filled Mu Zixuan with immense anxiety.

She had always been intoxicated by Lu Chen's gentle charm, thinking that she had married a good prince and that things could continue like this forever. Now that she thought about it, although Lu Chen was so good to her now, she wondered if he would dislike them when she got old.

Even if Lu Chen doesn't mind them, their hair is already white, and seeing that Lu Chen is young and strong, they will have all sorts of thoughts in their minds when they realize they can no longer serve him.

After regaining her senses, Mu Zixuan said, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean. I will start practicing martial arts tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled, then stroked Mu Zixuan's hair and said, "My women don't need to practice martial arts. I will teach you immortal techniques, and you can cultivate immortality with me."

Mu Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, immortal techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders. If the immortals find out that you have passed on your immortal techniques to us, it is very likely that your immortal destiny will be severed."

In the eyes of the world, the concept of a divine connection is extremely sacred. Giving away something that belongs to an immortal to someone else without the immortal's permission is considered blasphemy and will be punished by the immortal. Mu Zixuan was very worried that Lu Chen would also be punished by the immortal.

Lu Chen said, "My beloved consort, rest assured, the immortal destiny I obtained is different from ordinary immortal destiny. Even if I pass on the immortal techniques to you, the immortals will not say anything to me. On the contrary, they will be grateful to me for helping them pass on the immortal techniques."

Hearing Lu Chen say that, Mu Zixuan felt relieved. "I understand. I will definitely study the immortal techniques taught by Your Highness diligently in the future."

At this point, Mu Zixuan tied Lu Chen's belt.

After she finished dressing, Mu Zixuan continued, "Your Highness, please go to Xiaoxiao and the others' place. They should still be waiting for you in their rooms."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, then hugged Mu Zixuan and kissed her, saying, "I'll come back to keep you company tonight."

Mu Zixuan blushed and softly hummed in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen turned and left Mu Zixuan's room.

At this moment.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was in Zhou Youyou's room. Zhou Youyou was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, and Zhou Xiaoxiao was helping her tie her hair up from behind.

Zhou Youyou then asked, "Sister, do you think the Prince will come here during the day?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Probably."

Zhou Youyou said, "He should go and keep Sister Mu company."

While combing Zhou Youyou's hair, Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Youyou, you know how powerful the Prince is. How could Sister Mu possibly let the Prince stay with her forever?"

Upon hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao's words, Zhou Youyou's delicate body trembled involuntarily.

She thought of the time when Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao were pregnant.

During that time, the prince came to favor her every day, and she felt like her body no longer belonged to her.

Just as the two sisters were talking, the door opened.

Upon seeing Lu Chen enter, the two sisters quickly stood at attention and said, "Your Highness, we are your humble servants."

Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Madams, why did I hear people talking about me just now?"

"Are you talking badly about me behind my back?"

Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "Your Highness, I dare not."

Lu Chen closed the door and then walked up to Zhou Xiaoxiao, saying, "What are you afraid of? You've talked badly about me behind my back more than once or twice. It seems you need to be punished properly."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the two sisters' faces instantly turned bright red. Lu Chen wasn't trying to pin a crime on them; he just wanted to find an excuse to "punish" them.

Zhou Xiaoxiao then said, "I am willing to accept Your Highness's punishment, as long as Your Highness is willing to forgive me."

Lu Chen's gaze fell on the petite and adorable Zhou Youyou. Zhou Youyou blushed and said, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked about Your Highness behind your back. I am willing to accept Your Highness's punishment."

Lu Chen then embraced the two women. "Then my punishment will begin."

The two women then said no more and accepted Lu Chen's punishment.

I'd like to recommend a fan fiction novel by a friend.
