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

Yancheng.

Inside the palace.

Lu Chen stood behind Murong Xue'er, holding a pen, and was writing something on her jade-like back.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "How are those craftsmen doing with their studies?"

After Lu Chen imparted some basic knowledge about Earth to Murong Xue'er, Murong Xue'er became a teacher and began training the craftsmen of Great Xia.

Of course, the first batch of craftsmen were all carefully selected. These craftsmen all came from the system's summoning area and were 100% loyal to Lu Chen. They would never betray the Great Xia.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Murong Xue'er, who was quietly lying on the bed, turned her head slightly and looked at Lu Chen, who was writing, and said, "Those craftsmen have good talent. They will soon be able to understand what I am saying, and before long, they will be able to learn on their own."

Murong Xue'er also only taught the craftsmen the basic knowledge; as for the specific knowledge, the craftsmen had to learn it themselves in the Great Xia Royal Library.

Hearing Murong Xue'er's answer, Lu Chen was very satisfied. His idea was to have Murong Xue'er train those craftsmen, and then arrange for them to become teachers and be assigned to various schools established by the Great Xia, so that they could continue to impart knowledge to the students of the Great Xia.

In this way, people in this world will soon be able to accept a lot of modern knowledge, and this world may also enter the industrial world within one or two hundred years.

Of course, this is just Lu Chen's idea. Whether the world's industrialization process will be this fast depends on many factors.

At this moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Once that batch of craftsmen has learned enough, I will make another list for you and train more people. Then, those craftsmen who have completed their training can become teachers and continue to teach others the basic knowledge."

Murong Xue'er said calmly, "I understand."

As soon as Murong Xue'er finished speaking, Lu Chen slammed his hand down on her buttocks. Looking at Murong Xue'er's jade-like back, Lu Chen muttered to himself, "If only that curse mark were on her back too."

The curse mark that Lu Chen mentioned was naturally the curse mark on Murong Xue'er's lower abdomen. Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er rolled her eyes at him. This naughty thing, he's starting to think of some bad things to do again.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he raised his hand and circulated his spiritual power. The next moment, a fine brush flew from Murong Xue'er's bookshelf, followed by a bottle of special ink.

Although the ink is black, when mixed with spiritual energy, the drawing can remain on a person's skin for a long time.

Lu Chen then picked up a fine brush, dipped it in black ink, and lowered his head to begin drawing incantations on Murong Xue'er's jade-like back.

Murong Xue'er remained kneeling, ignoring what Lu Chen was doing. She was used to it anyway, so let this guy do whatever he wanted.

Murong Xue'er then turned around, lowered her head, and said, "That neighbor next door laughs at me every day. When are you going to go and teach her a lesson?"

For Murong Xue'er, it was fine for Lu Chen to come to her place occasionally, but this guy kept coming over so often in order to get her pregnant with his child that she was starting to get fed up with it.

She had begged Lu Chen for mercy countless times, but he still wouldn't let her go, as if he wouldn't give up until she got pregnant.

As a result, every time she goes out now, Wu Junwan mocks her, saying that she is no different from those dissolute women in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Murong Xue'er was at a loss. She really wanted to get pregnant, but her belly wasn't responding. What could she do?

She was actually a little frustrated. Even Wu Junwan, that fake celestial being, had fallen for it, so why couldn't she get pregnant herself?

Murong Xue'er planned to shift the blame to Lu Chen, luring him to the neighbor's house.

Upon hearing Murong Xue'er's words, Lu Chen instantly saw through her little scheme; this beauty was trying to shift the blame.

Lu Chen then said, "You know she's pregnant with my child. No matter how much I want to do something bad to her, I wouldn't do anything to her at this time. I'm not an animal."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er chuckled inwardly. In her opinion, this guy was no different from livestock, and even livestock couldn't compare to him.

Murong Xue'er continued, "With so many wives and concubines in your harem, and you still coming here to see me every day, they're bound to complain after a while."

Lu Chen said calmly, "What objections could she possibly have? If anyone has any objections, I'll just have her serve me in bed for ten days straight, and then she'll have no objections."

Murong Xue'er was completely speechless. This guy just had to get her pregnant, didn't he?

Murong Xue'er said, "Your Majesty, some things cannot be forced. You also know that it is not easy for martial artists with high cultivation levels to get pregnant."

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "Of course I know that it's not easy for martial artists of high cultivation levels to get pregnant, but the more times they do it, the greater the chance."

"The more difficult it is for you to get pregnant, the more I need to come here. Otherwise, when will you ever be able to conceive?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xue'er simply stopped talking and quietly lay there waiting for Lu Chen to draw.

Lu Chen didn't know how long he had been drawing, but he finally finished drawing the curse with Murong Xue'er's help. Seeing the beautiful black curse on the fair skin, Lu Chen suddenly felt his mind go blank, and a violent emotion arose in his heart.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er also noticed something was wrong. Seeing that Lu Chen had stopped writing, she turned her head to look at Lu Chen again, and found that Lu Chen's eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot.

Upon seeing this, Murong Xue'er was immediately startled. "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Before Murong Xue'er could finish speaking, Lu Chen waved his hand, and all the calligraphy brushes and inkstones next to him flew onto the desk in the room. Then he leaned over to them.

Murong Xue'er exclaimed in surprise and glared at Lu Chen with her beautiful eyes, but Lu Chen ignored her gaze and began to do his own thing.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen regained some consciousness. He thought to himself that he had thought the curse could be used to control people, but he had never thought it would work on him since he was immune to all poisons.

However, it seems that the curse does have some effect; it can indeed influence a person's emotions, at least making them more irritable.

However, when Emperor Yue cast the curse on Murong Xue'er, he may have drawn it in the wrong place; drawing it on the back would have actually been more effective.

early morning.

When Lu Chen got up, he glanced at Murong Xue'er next to him, who was completely paralyzed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Xue'er, your body is really supple."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er turned her head slightly and said weakly, "Your Majesty truly treats me like a plaything."

Lu Chen said, "Really? You are my wife, how could I treat you as a plaything?"

Murong Xue'er sighed and then said, "Alas, so be it. Now that I've fallen into His Majesty's hands, His Majesty can do whatever he wants."

Murong Xue'er has now resigned herself to her fate. She feels her mind is foggy and she is not clear-headed. All she wants to do is get a good night's sleep.

Lu Chen noticed that Murong Xue'er was very tired, so he said, "You should rest well. I have to go to court today, so I'll get up first."

At this point, Lu Chen slowly stood up. Although Murong Xue'er also wanted to continue resting, she got up after Lu Chen and personally helped him get dressed. (End of Chapter)
