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

Chapter 149 Xiao Wenyao's plan succeeded

Seeing the beautiful woman blush, Lu Chen suddenly had the urge to tease her. He looked into Yelü Nanyan's eyes and asked with a smile, "Nanyan, what do you mean by this? Today is our wedding day. Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Hearing Lu Chen's voice in her ear, Yelü Nanyan felt a little agitated. She immediately said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

Yelü Nanyan wanted to say that Lu Chen had been busy all night yesterday, and couldn't possibly come back today, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Seeing Yelü Nanyan blush and look shy, Lu Chen's previously calm heart was suddenly stirred again.

He then tightened his grip, holding Yelü Nanyan tightly, and occasionally breathed into her ear. For a moment, Yelü Nanyan felt extremely uncomfortable from Lu Chen's teasing.

However, Yelü Nanyan still insisted, "Your Highness, I have already enjoyed your favor, but Yaoyao has not. She has just married you and must be eagerly anticipating your favor."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm just here to sit for a while. I'll be right back in a bit."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelü Nanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Chen had just left her room that morning, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her tomorrow if he came back.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "Nan Yan, what do you think of the wedding I prepared for you today? Does it match your ideal wedding?"

Yelü Nanyan said, "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for treating a prisoner like me so well. I will definitely bear you many children in the future to repay your kindness."

Hearing Yelü Nanyan's words, Lu Chen was very satisfied. Finally, there was a martial artist who was so sensible. She raised her hand and gently patted Yelü Nanyan's buttocks, and then said, "My Nanyan is more sensible than that vixen next door. She deceived me so much, and yet she still hasn't gotten pregnant with my child."

The fox spirit Lu Chen mentioned was naturally Wang Qingci. Every time Lu Chen left her room, she would quickly use her internal energy to expel all the impurities from her body, as if she were afraid of getting pregnant with Lu Chen's child.

Getting female martial artists pregnant has always been a challenge for Lu Chen. Not to mention that female martial artists themselves have difficulty getting pregnant, the biggest problem is that female martial artists can easily avoid getting pregnant.

Take Wang Qingci and Bai Qingqing for example. If Wang Qingci and Bai Qingqing don't want to have children with Lu Chen, no matter how hard Lu Chen tries, it will be useless.

He couldn't very well use his status as a prince to order the two of them to get pregnant; if he did, it probably wouldn't make any difference.

Since it is very difficult for martial artists to get pregnant, the two of them could easily say that they were unable to conceive due to the physical condition of martial artists. Under these circumstances, Lu Chen did not know whether it was true or false.

If female martial artists had the same awareness as Yelü Nanyan and actively wanted to bear Lu Chen's child, then the trouble would be greatly reduced.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelü Nanyan's face felt slightly hot. She was already in her thirties, and being held in the arms of a younger man who called her "my Nanyan" made her feel ashamed.

The two then embraced and talked about the migration of barbarians to the grasslands and the northern counties. Although Lu Chen made some physical advances during the conversation, nothing more happened between them.

at the same time.

The next room.

Dressed in a red wedding gown, Xiao Wenyao sat on the edge of the bed, eavesdropping on the sounds coming from next door.

Xiao Wenyao was a little confused. She had clearly heard the maid outside the courtyard say "Greetings, Your Highness" just now. Logically, Lu Chen should have arrived by now and gone to Yelü Nanyan's room.

But why is there still no movement after so much time has passed? This doesn't make sense.

If it were in the past...

Not to mention before, even last night when Lu Chen went to Yelü Nanyan's room, there was quite a bit of noise coming from inside.

strangeness……

Did Yelü Nanyan lose to Lu Chen?

Influenced by Yelü Nanyan before, Xiao Wenyao now has a unique way of thinking: as long as she hears Yelü Nanyan's voice, it means that Yelü Nanyan has defeated Lu Chen, so she cheers happily.

But now there is no sound. Does that mean that Yelü Nanyan has lost to Lu Chen in some way?

In other words, Yelü Nanyan was being tortured at this time?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Wenyao comforted herself, thinking that she was at least a seventh-rank martial artist. Although Lu Chen was a grandmaster, everyone has weaknesses, and Lu Chen also had weaknesses. Yelü Nanyan was able to exploit Lu Chen's weaknesses, so she should be able to as well.

If Lu Chen dares to come to her room later, she will trap him like Yelü Nanyan did, and let Lu Chen know how powerful she is.

After waiting anxiously for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Wenyao finally heard the maid's voice coming from the doorway of the room.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The next moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and Lu Chen entered the room.

Upon seeing the exceptionally handsome Lu Chen, Xiao Wenyao's heart pounded wildly. She felt incredibly nervous, and even her breathing became difficult.

Xiao Wenyao quickly took a deep breath.

Stay calm, stay calm.

Stay calm, you must stay calm.

If Sister Nanyan could trap him, so can I!

As long as we follow Sister Nanyan's method, no matter how strong the Northern King is, it won't matter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyao calmed down a little. At this moment, she stammered, "Your...Your Highness, you've arrived."

Although she was much calmer than before, Xiao Wenyao was still extremely nervous inside.

Seeing Xiao Wenyao's flushed face and nervous appearance, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Yaoyao, I've heard that women from the grasslands are particularly bold. Why are you so nervous when you see me? Do you think I'm going to eat you up?"

Xiao Wenyao immediately denied it, saying, "Your Highness... I... I'm not nervous."

Lu Chen chuckled and then went straight to the bedside.

Seeing Lu Chen suddenly approach, Xiao Wenyao felt her heart race again. Her body instinctively wanted to escape, but just as she tried to move, Lu Chen's strong arms pulled her close.

Suddenly, Xiao Wenyao smelled a unique masculine scent. The smell was strange, but she found it very pleasant.

Her body involuntarily wanted to get closer to Lu Chen.

Xiao Wenyao then asked, "Your Highness...did you go to Sister Nanyan's place?"

Lu Chen replied, "I just came from her place. What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I didn't come here right away?"

Xiao Wenyao quickly said, "I...I'm not upset."

Xiao Wenyao was still self-aware enough not to dare to express any dissatisfaction with what Lu Chen had done. Although she was now married to Lu Chen, she knew very well that she was still Lu Chen's captive and would still have to be regarded as the Northern King's female slave.

Only by lowering her stance could she better survive in the Northern Prince's Mansion. This was something Yelü Nanyan had reminded her of, and Xiao Wenyao still kept it in mind.

At this moment, Lu Chen embraced Xiao Wenyao's delicate body, then pinched her body with his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you are very different from Nan Yan. Your muscles are more developed and you look more powerful."

Although Yelü Nanyan is a ninth-rank martial artist, thanks to the martial arts she has cultivated, she does not have very obvious muscles. Her body is mostly fat, and the fat is distributed very evenly.

A woman's evenly distributed fat has a great advantage: it maintains her beauty, making her look plump but not fat, and her body is very soft to hug. In addition, fat has a lot of calories, which gives people a passionate feeling.

Compared to the beautiful Yelü Nanyan, Xiao Wenyao didn't have as much body fat, making her less appealing to the touch.

However, because of riding a horse, Xiao Wenyao's muscles were particularly firm, especially her long, slender legs.

Hearing Lu Chen's assessment of her, Xiao Wenyao said softly, "I...I often ride horses, so I'm quite...strong."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's better to be sturdy."

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao said with a blushing face, "Your Highness... let me... let me serve you so you can rest."

At this moment, Xiao Wenyao tried to put herself in the role of a female slave, changing her self-reference from "I" to "slave," which was how slaves referred to themselves in their barbarian tribe.

Xiao Wenyao was already eager to trap Lu Chen. She was afraid that Lu Chen would torture her, and only by trapping Lu Chen's weakness could she avoid being tortured by him.

Suddenly, she felt that Yelü Nanyan's method was quite good, and she even admired Yelü Nanyan.

Although Lu Chen is a grandmaster, their strength is definitely not as great as his, that's for sure. But as long as Lu Chen is trapped, he won't be able to do anything to them.

In order to trap Lu Chen, she had to lower her stance and make Lu Chen lower his guard.

At this moment, Lu Chen was completely unaware that the woman in front of him was already plotting how to deal with him. He still thought Xiao Wenyao was just an innocent grassland girl.

Seeing Xiao Wenyao's initiative, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

He then laid Xiao Wenyao down on the bed. Xiao Wenyao very proactively untied Lu Chen's belt, thinking that she would quickly trick Lu Chen and then take the opportunity to learn from Yelü Nanyan's methods.

Before long, Lu Chen was "tricked".

Xiao Wenyao's plan also succeeded.

However, the moment her plan succeeded, she finally realized something was wrong.

"Ugh... Liar... Liar..."

……

at the same time.

Outside the Prince's Mansion.

Qin Yushan was rushing into the Prince's mansion when he saw it decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. He was taken aback.

Today is a joyous occasion for the Prince's residence; is it really appropriate for him to seek out the Prince at this time?

Upon seeing Qin Yushan arrive, the icy beauty Bai Qingqing said coldly, "What brings you here, Commander Qin?"

Seeing Qin Yushan's anxious expression, Bai Qingqing knew he must have something to ask Lu Chen. As Lu Chen's personal bodyguard, she naturally had to inquire.

Qin Yushan quickly said, "I have some intelligence from the north to report to Your Highness, but today is Your Highness's big day."

Bai Qingqing said expressionlessly, "If the intelligence won't endanger Beijun within a day or two, hand it over directly to the study."

Qin Yushan thought for a moment, then said, "Guard Bai, I understand. But after the Prince comes out, please remind him that there is intelligence from the North in the study, and ask him to take a look."

Bai Qingqing coldly said "okay" and then fell silent.

Qin Yushan then immediately delivered the information he had just obtained to Lu Chen's study.

At this moment.

The capital of Daxia.

The Eighth Prince's Residence.

After leaving Beijun, Wang Yong did not return to the Wang family, but went directly to the capital and stayed by the side of the Eighth Prince.

Today, the Eighth Prince's residence was once again filled with people. Although Lu Shuyun's advisors and servants were all wiped out last time, Lu Shuyun was, after all, a prince, and soon a large number of advisors and retainers gathered around him again.

Inside the council hall, everyone looked serious, as if they were discussing something.

At this moment, Wang Yong spoke to Lu Shuyun and said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, the Imperial Preceptor recently went to Beijun. Although not many people know this news, and there doesn't seem to be any special activity at the palace, some people have still heard some rumors."

Situ Ce is the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty. He is the first person to protect the safety of the capital and the most important person to protect the palace. If he leaves the palace, the palace will usually be under martial law and there will be a great commotion.

However, Emperor Xia was not a fool. If the palace really did that, it would be tantamount to telling others that Situ Ce had left the palace.

In order to prevent people from discovering that Situ Ce had left the palace, there were no major personnel changes in the capital and the palace, and everything seemed calm and peaceful.

However, secrets don't stay hidden forever. Situ Ce was, after all, a Grandmaster, and he even went to the imperial army's camp in Beijun and met with Lin Xiuming.

Those who pay close attention to the capital can always find some clues and, through these clues, determine that Situ Ce left the capital and went to Beijun.

Of course, it's highly likely that Situ Ce has already returned from Beijun.

Situ Ce was, after all, the Imperial Preceptor and the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty; he couldn't possibly leave the capital for too long.

However, Situ Ce's trip to Beijun was enough to attract people's attention.

Upon hearing Wang Yong's words, Lu Shuyun frowned, then said, "Could it be that my father really intends to give the position of Crown Prince to my dear younger brother!"

Lu Shuyun's tone was clearly hostile. Ever since the news of the Northern King's victory over the barbarian army of 300,000 in Yancheng reached the capital, Lu Shuyun had been suppressing his feelings.

At first, he genuinely believed that Lu Chen was hiding his true abilities and was about to rise to prominence and seize the position of Crown Prince.

However, as time went by, Lu Shuyun gradually "woke up" to the fact that even if Lu Chen had been hiding himself all along, with his abilities and the resources of Beijun, it was impossible for him to build 50,000 heavy cavalry.
