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

Chapter 47 Lu Chen's Problem

When Wang Qingci left Lu Chen's study, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was loose, and her face was flushed.

They wobble when they walk.

Just as she walked out of the main courtyard, she bumped into Chu Yuqin, who was on patrol. Seeing Wang Qingci's appearance, Chu Yuqin knew that this vixen must have gone to seduce her Chen'er.

Chu Yuqin said sarcastically, "Miss Wang, I've heard that your Hundred Flowers Pavilion is doing exceptionally well. As the owner of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, why aren't you looking after it? Why are you running to the Prince's Mansion every day?"

Seeing Chu Yuqin's jealous expression, Wang Qingci smiled knowingly.

She knew very well why Chu Yuqin disliked her; it was because she served the Northern Prince every day, which made Chu Yuqin envious.

Then Wang Qingci said, "Madam Chu, the Princess and the other ladies are all pregnant, so only I am able to serve the Prince. You know how much pressure the Prince is under. If I don't serve him, are you expecting Madam Chu to help him relax?"

"If Madam Chu intends to help the Prince relieve his stress every day, then this servant will not come tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin's expression changed drastically, and then a gust of wind blew out from her body, causing her dress to flutter wildly.

"Wang Qingci, you are merely Chen'er's slave girl. I advise you not to speak recklessly!"

"Otherwise, even if I kill you, I believe Chen'er won't say anything!"

Wang Qingci smiled sweetly, then said, "Madam Chu, if you really want to kill me, without me to serve the Prince, I'm afraid you'll really have to serve him every day!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was both angry and embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her face.

"you!"

Seeing that Wang Qingci wasn't afraid of her at all, Chu Yuqin didn't bother to continue the conversation. She turned around and walked towards the other side of the Wang residence, saying as she went:

"It's just a tool Chen'er uses to unleash his evil thoughts. Why should I get angry with a tool?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingci was not angry. She was indeed just a tool, but as long as the Northern King liked her, that was enough.

Looking at Chu Yuqin's voluptuous figure, Wang Qingci's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered, "Madam Chu, Madam Chu, the prince's patience is limited. It won't be long before you're in his bed."

Although Chu Yuqin has been trying to keep her distance from Lu Chen for the past six months, she is, after all, the commander of the inner court guards, and she is responsible for protecting Lu Chen's safety.

Therefore, Chu Yuqin would occasionally encounter scenes of Lu Chen tormenting Wang Qingci. Wang Qingci knew very well that every time he saw Chu Yuqin or mentioned Chu Yuqin in front of him, Lu Chen's anger would intensify, as if he had become a completely different person, extremely crazy, and she would suffer as a result.

It's clear that Lu Chen's desire for Chu Yuqin is growing stronger every day. He can suppress his desire for now, but that might not be the case in the long run.

Who knows, one day they might bump into each other by accident, and Chu Yuqin might not be able to escape, and then she'll be completely taken advantage of.

After Chu Yuqin's figure disappeared from sight, Wang Qingci turned around and continued to leave the courtyard. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Mu Zixuan again.

After giving birth, Mu Zixuan rested for a period of time and has now basically recovered and is able to get out of bed and walk.

Unlike when facing Chu Yuqin, Wang Qingci showed great respect to Princess Mu Zixuan. Upon seeing Mu Zixuan, Wang Qingci immediately said, "Greetings, Princess."

Mu Zixuan smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Miss Wang, please get up."

Mu Zixuan knew that Wang Qingci was Lu Chen's plaything, so she didn't care at all about Wang Qingci frequently running to the inner courtyard.

That's how it was in this era; most mistresses didn't care if their husbands had concubines or female slaves, and Mu Zixuan was no exception.

Mu Zixuan then asked, "Is the Prince inside?"

Wang Qingci replied, "His Highness is currently in his study."

Mu Zixuan said, "Alright, Miss Wang, go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I'll go check on the Prince."

Mu Zixuan is increasingly exuding the aura of a princess, her words and actions revealing the presence of a person in a superior position.

Just as Wang Qingci was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "By the way, Your Highness, this servant has something I would like to trouble you with. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to listen to it."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan asked in confusion, "What is it? Please speak, Miss Wang."

Wang Qingci glanced at the location of Lu Chen's study and then said, "Your Highness, shouldn't His Highness take a concubine? Please forgive my intrusion."

Ever since Lu Chen's wives and concubines became pregnant, Wang Qingci has been serving Lu Chen every day, and even she, a ninth-rank martial artist, can't withstand it.

Now that Mu Zixuan has just given birth, it's impossible for her to serve Lu Chen. So, this female slave will have to continue serving Lu Chen.

Although she was just a female slave and shouldn't be the one to discuss things like taking a concubine, she simply couldn't bear it any longer.

She believed that Mu Zixuan was a magnanimous person and would not stop Lu Chen from taking a concubine. Besides, the number of wives and concubines the Northern King had was far from enough to serve him. As a princess, Mu Zixuan could not possibly prevent Lu Chen from taking a concubine indefinitely.

Upon hearing Wang Qingci's words, Mu Zixuan immediately realized that Wang Qingci must be unable to withstand it.

Mu Zixuan thought to herself, even a ninth-rank martial artist couldn't withstand it, her husband's physique is too strong.

When she married Lu Chen in the capital, she thought he was a young man whose body had been weakened by wine and women, and that he must be very frail.

Looking back now...

Mu Zixuan sighed, then said, "Miss Wang, I will bring up the matter of His Highness taking a concubine with him. You can go back now without worry."

Wang Qingci immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"This servant takes her leave."

Wang Qingci then turned and left the courtyard.

at the same time.

Lu Chen, who had just come out of the study, noticed Chu Yuqin's face was flushed, so he immediately called out to her, "Aunt Chu, wait a moment, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin immediately stopped and turned to look at Lu Chen, asking in confusion, "Chen'er, what do you need me for?"

Lu Chen asked, "Aunt Chu, I remember that the higher a martial artist's cultivation level, the harder it is for them to conceive, right?"

Chu Yuqin said, "That's right, what's wrong?"

Chu Yuqin felt a little nervous. Why would Chen'er suddenly ask this question? Could he still be after me?

After all, she seemed to be the only female martial artist in the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion who was relatively close to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen then said, "Wang Qingci and I have been intimate so many times, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant, even though there's nothing wrong with her body."

"Even if the higher a martial artist's level, the harder it is to conceive, it shouldn't be that after more than half a year, her body still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy, right?"

Hearing Lu Chen mention Wang Qingci, Chu Yuqin finally breathed a sigh of relief. So he was talking about Wang Qingci. She had thought Lu Chen was trying to make a move on her.

Chu Yuqin smiled gently, then replied, "Chen'er, don't you know that martial artists above the fifth rank can use their internal energy to expel some impurities from their bodies?"

"Many martial artists can expel poison by using their internal energy, as long as the poison is not too strong."
