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

Chapter 359 The Prince is really not pretending at all.

After returning to his residence at the Da Wu Embassy, ​​Wu Ming flew into a rage, smashing things wildly.

"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!!!"

"Don't they know I'm still in the Northern Kingdom? Who dared to launch a sneak attack on the Northern Kingdom's soldiers at this time?!"

"Are you trying to get me killed?!"

He, a prince, was still in another country when his own dynasty's army launched an attack on another country. If this angered the Northern Kingdom, he might be killed by them.

Wu Ming now strongly suspects that some people within the Great Wu Dynasty want him dead, so they deliberately ordered the 20,000 heavy cavalry to attack the Northern Kingdom's military camp to provoke the Northern King and then use him as a tool to kill him.

……

After the first negotiation, Lu Chen returned to the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion. He knew that Wu Ming must already know about the Great Wu heavy cavalry's sneak attack on the Northern Kingdom's military camp, which was why he had left in a hurry in the council hall earlier.

Regarding the peace talks, the Northern Kingdom is the least in a hurry; they can talk for several months without any problem. It all depends on whether the Great Wu Kingdom can withstand the pressure from the Northern Kingdom's army.

The longer the peace talks drag on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Da Wu. As the situation becomes increasingly unfavorable for Da Wu, the Northern Kingdom will definitely gradually add some conditions.

The sun was shining brightly today. After returning to the inner courtyard, Lu Chen was drinking tea and chatting with his wives and concubines when he noticed Yelü Nanyan holding a needle and thread, sewing something.

Lu Chen asked curiously, "Nan Yan, are you sewing clothes?"

The clothes in the Prince's Mansion are all made by tailors. There is no need for the people in the Prince's Mansion to sew them themselves. Moreover, the Northern Prince's Mansion has already established a clothing factory. Whatever kind of clothes you need, they will have them.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelü Nanyan put down her needlework and replied, "Your Highness, I was thinking of making one or two pieces of clothing for the child before I have any."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Just tell the garment factory what kind of clothes you want; you don't need to sew them by hand."

Yelü Nanyan said, "I know, but I'm just idling around anyway."

Yelü Nanyan originally managed the national treasury, but now her power has been gradually transferred to the officials arranged by Lu Chen. She basically has nothing to do, so she thought that since she would have to give birth to Lu Chen's child in the future anyway, she might as well take advantage of the free time to make a few sets of clothes for the child herself.

Although she is not pregnant with Lu Chen's child yet, she believes that as long as she perseveres, she will eventually conceive with Lu Chen's child, since both Chu Yuqin and Wang Qingci, two martial artists, have children with Lu Chen.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin, who was not far away, said, "Chen'er, the clothes we sew ourselves are incomparable to those from the garment factory, and they also represent a mother's heartfelt wishes."

As a mother herself, Chu Yuqin had already experienced the sense of accomplishment that comes from sewing clothes for her child, and she knew that this feeling was something that Lu Chen, a man, could never understand.

Mu Zixuan smiled slightly and then said, "Your Highness, Sister Nanyan has already prepared the baby's clothes. You'd better put in your best efforts."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Nanyan blushed.

Seeing the beautiful woman blush, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Nan Yan, I'll try to visit your room more often in the coming days."

Yelü Nanyan didn't know what to say, so she could only reply, "Yes, Your Highness."

Just as everyone was joking around, a maid entered the inner courtyard and said, "Your Highness, Miss Murong requests an audience."

Before Lu Chen could even speak, Mu Zixuan said to him, "Your Highness, Miss Murong's courtyard has been prepared for a long time, and the maids have been chosen, but no one has moved in yet."

"Why don't you talk to her and ask her to move into the Northern Prince's Mansion from now on?"

Lu Chen said, "Okay, I'll talk to her about it later."

"You two take your time chatting, I'll be right back."

At this point, Lu Chen got up and went straight to the study.

As Lu Chen entered the courtyard where the study was located, he saw the cold and beautiful woman, Murong Xue'er, standing quietly at the entrance of the study, like a snow lotus on a snowy mountain. Seeing Murong Xue'er's icy appearance, Lu Chen was instantly aroused.

As he walked towards the study door, he said, "Xue'er, you've been getting more and more proactive lately."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's voice, Murong Xue'er turned her head slightly to look at Lu Chen. Seeing this tall and handsome man, Murong Xue'er's heart trembled slightly.

For some reason, she felt that Lu Chen seemed to have become even more handsome after they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and his masculine aura was getting stronger.

Murong Xue'er suddenly recalled the first time she met Lu Chen. At that time, although Lu Chen already had the aura of a superior, he still seemed a bit immature. Now, Lu Chen exuded the temperament of a mature man and had lost his former immaturity.

This made Lu Chen even more charming. Murong Xue'er felt herself becoming more and more shameless. She hadn't seen Lu Chen for just a few days, and when she saw him again, her body began to stir.

She now doubts whether she will be able to leave this bad man in the future.

Murong Xue'er then said directly, "His Majesty sent a message to me by carrier pigeon, urging me to hurry up and become your woman, preferably before the arrival of the Great Wu Princess."

As soon as Murong Xue'er finished speaking, Lu Chen appeared in front of her. He put one arm around her soft waist and led her into the study, saying as they walked, "It seems your Emperor is afraid I'll do something to the Great Wu's eldest princess?"

"I've always been curious about the relationship between Emperor Yue and Wu Junwan. Come in and tell me what kind of relationship they have."

Murong Xue'er did not answer Lu Chen's question directly.

After Lu Chen put his arm around Murong Xue'er's slender waist and entered the study, he waved his hand, and the study door and windows closed by themselves.

Suddenly, the study became ambiguous.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen wrapped his arms around Murong Xue'er's slender waist. Before Murong Xue'er could say anything, he leaned down and kissed her red lips.

Lu Chen was already very familiar with these things, and Murong Xue'er did not struggle. She raised her jade-like arm, wrapped it around Lu Chen's neck, and kissed him for a moment.

Murong Xue'er had lost her former shyness. She had completely accepted everything. Since she had become Lu Chen's woman, doing these things once or doing them countless times made no difference to her.

After kissing for a while, Lu Chen turned Murong Xue'er over so that her back was to him. Then he put his arms under her armpits and hugged her slender waist from behind, his chest pressed against her jade-like back. He then gently pushed her towards the rest room in the study.

Murong Xue'er said coldly, "Your Highness is really not pretending at all."

In the past, when I came to the Prince's Mansion, Lu Chen would chat with me about all sorts of random things before finally getting me into bed.

This time when she came, Lu Chen immediately started touching and talking to her, without any preamble.
