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

After becoming Lu Chen's woman, Qin Yuwei has always kept a low profile and no longer has the spoiled attitude she had when she was in the Qin family.

The Qin family has been wiped out, and she is well aware of her current situation. Lu Chen is her only support in the future. As long as she serves Lu Chen obediently and does not vie for power and profit, she may be able to live a peaceful life.

Previously, the Prince's Mansion always ate dinner at Fengyun Courtyard. Dinner at Fengyun Courtyard was always very sumptuous and tasted especially good. Even Qin Yuwei, who was once a young lady from a noble family, had never eaten such delicious food at the Prince's Mansion.

However, ever since Xiao Wenyao and Yelü Nanyan had a child, the Northern Prince's Mansion no longer ate dinner together, since there were too many people.

When the chefs at the catering workshop are preparing meals, they prioritize cooking for the Fengyun Courtyard. Although the communal dinners have been canceled, Lu Chen still needs to return to the Fengyun Courtyard for dinner every day, so the chefs have to take priority for this prince.

This means that when the kitchen staff cooks, they tend to overlook people from other courtyards. Qin Yuwei is one of those people who are overlooked. Although the food prepared by the Northern Prince's kitchen staff is still more delicious than the food she eats at the Qin family home, the kitchen staff generally doesn't cook any large dishes for her.

For example, they no longer have roasted whole lamb, and even if she asked the kitchen to make roasted whole lamb for her, the taste of the roasted whole lamb made by the kitchen chefs could not compare to the roasted whole lamb she ate at Fengyun Courtyard.

Qin Yuwei had a craving for food, so she finally decided to make it herself.

She had seen the chefs roast food on the spot at Fengyun Academy before, so she started to wonder if, as long as the chefs used the right seasonings, the whole roasted lamb could taste the same as the whole roasted lamb at Fengyun Academy.

Anyway, she didn't have much to do, and the Northern Prince rarely visited her. In addition, she had no children, and there was nothing in the palace for her to worry about. Since she was just idling around, she might as well find something to do.

To Qin Yuwei's surprise, Lu Chen, who hadn't visited her courtyard in a long time, suddenly showed up today, catching Qin Yuwei off guard.

Lu Chen looked at the whole roasted lamb, then took a chopstick from a plate on the next table and poked the lamb with it. "Hmm, it should be cooked by now. Just sprinkle some cumin on it and it'll be ready."

"However, when you're grilling, try to make as many cuts as possible, otherwise it might not absorb the flavor well."

At this point, Lu Chen picked up the knife from the table next to him and began to carve the mutton himself.

Seeing Lu Chen personally take action, Qin Yuwei stood there dumbfounded.

As Lu Chen slicing the mutton, he said, "If you want to eat something in the future, tell the people in the kitchen as soon as possible. You can also find a few maids and have them go to the kitchen to learn how to cook for themselves. This is allowed in the Prince's mansion."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Qin Yuwei immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Lu Chen continued, "I'll have dinner here tonight. Send a maid to Fengyun Courtyard to inform the Princess."

The maidservant beside Qin Yuwei said sensibly, "This servant will go right away."

The maid then went to Fengyun Courtyard and told Mu Zixuan about Lu Chen eating roasted whole lamb in Qin Yuwei's courtyard. Mu Zixuan naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

When they started eating separately, Mu Zixuan had already anticipated this day. Since they were eating separately, they could no longer gather together for dinner. Lu Chen couldn't possibly eat dinner at Fengyun Courtyard every day and never visit his other wives and concubines.

However, at this moment, Mu Zixuan suddenly thought of something, and then asked her maid to go to the kitchen and tell them to send some highly nourishing foods to Qin Yuwei, such as lamb kidneys and deer penis.

When Lu Chen saw the food delivered by the kitchen staff, he felt somewhat helpless. He was probably the most worried about his health in the entire Northern Prince's Mansion. His wife made him take supplements every day, but he was already a pseudo-celestial being, so what was there to supplement?

Moreover, to be honest, eating these things at most increases one's qi and blood, but their ability to improve certain aspects is not very strong. It's just a placebo effect. Lu Chen is already so strong, so these highly nourishing things are better than nothing.

However, Lu Chen didn't say much. This was all Mu Zixuan's love, so he might as well make up for it.

However, upon seeing the food delivered by the catering workshop, Qin Yuwei, a young lady from a prominent family, blushed deeply. Although she was not often involved in cooking, she could still recognize what these things were at a glance.

Moreover, when they used to dine together at Fengyun Courtyard, the princess often prepared these things for Lu Chen, so she knew very well what these things were for.

The thought of staying up all night with Lu Chen after dinner made Qin Yuwei's face flush.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "Yuwei, are you getting used to your stay at the Northern Prince's residence?"

Qin Yuwei said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm already used to it."

Lu Chen said while eating, "You'll get used to it."

Lu Chen continued, "If you need anything, you can ask the steward of the Prince's Mansion or the Princess Consort."

Qin Yuwei replied, "I understand."

Although she said that, Qin Yuwei would never go to the Princess Consort. She knew in her heart that the Prince's mansion was extremely busy, so how could she go to the Princess Consort for some trivial matter of her own?

Moreover, it seems that she lacks nothing here. She has everything she needs, including food and clothing, and most importantly, she receives money every month. This is no different from when she lived in the Qin family.

The only difference might be that she doesn't have much status in the Northern Prince's Mansion, and she has to serve Lu Chen with her body, but these are not problems.

Compared to those Qin family members who were beheaded, she was already quite fortunate to be alive.

Everything she had achieved was thanks to the man in front of her. Thinking of this, Qin Yuwei felt grateful to Lu Chen, and her body became even hotter.

After dinner, Lu Chen and Qin Yuwei sat in the yard for a while before going into the bathtub to soak in the hot water.

When Qin Yuwei was held in Lu Chen's arms, she felt incredibly happy. She only wished that this moment could last forever and that this man would never abandon her.

After about half an hour, Lu Chen and Qin Yuwei finished their bath and went to bed to get down to business.

Tonight will be another sleepless night.

The morning sunlight shone on the bed, and Qin Yuwei woke up from her deep sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Chen's handsome face.

At this moment, Lu Chen had his eyes closed, seemingly still fast asleep. The two of them were embracing each other, their bodies pressed tightly together. They were still in a warm and intimate state. Qin Yuwei didn't dare to wake Lu Chen, so she just kept watching him.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen opened his eyes. He slightly shifted his body, and Qin Yuwei immediately let out a soft moan. She quickly shut her mouth, afraid that Lu Chen would get angry.

Seeing Qin Yuwei's reaction, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm not that ruthless, there's no need to be so afraid of me."

Qin Yuwei's face immediately turned bright red.

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced at the system interface. Others could not see the system interface, so he could view it with peace of mind. At this moment, there was a series of prompts on the system interface.

As soon as Lu Chen had a thought, the system prompted him to proceed.

[The host cultivates feelings for his wives and concubines once, and the Qi Refining Technique is activated...]

[Qin Yuwei is pregnant with the host's child. The host will be rewarded with diesel engine blueprints.]

[The pregnancy reward is an encouragement reward; please do your best to ensure the child's safe delivery.]

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly. He hadn't expected that Qin Yuwei would become pregnant with his child so soon after arriving at the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Having children is something you really can't rush.

As the saying goes, "A flower planted unintentionally will not bloom, but a willow planted casually will thrive."

He had tried so hard to have a child before, but neither Mu Zixuan nor Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou got pregnant. Last night, he came over and ate a whole roasted lamb, and casually spent the night with Qin Yuwei. Qin Yuwei then naturally won the lottery.

Lu Chen gently stroked Qin Yuwei's pretty face and said with a smile, "You're pregnant, so please be careful from now on."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Qin Yuwei was stunned.

Pregnant?

Is she pregnant?

Is this... really true?

Is she pregnant with the Northern King's child?

While Qin Yuwei was incredulous, she thought of some legends about Lu Chen that she had learned from her maid. Lu Chen's medical skills far surpassed those of doctors, and he could instantly detect when his wives and concubines were pregnant.

Since he said he was pregnant, then I'm probably really pregnant.

I never imagined that I would be pregnant with the Northern King's child so quickly.

With the Northern King's child, her future life would be secure.

Qin Yuwei was extremely excited.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for bestowing upon me a child."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled. He felt that the words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

Lu Chen then slowly separated from Qin Yuwei. "Alright, you should get some rest today. I have something to do, so I'll get up first."

Today he still needs to lead his men to deal with the Taiyin Divine Sect; he can't afford to stay in the lap of luxury forever. (End of Chapter)
