Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Lu Chen immediately placed his large hand on top of her buttocks and gave her a smack, "Not feeling comfortable, are you? Then this Prince shall give Mr. Wang a proper treatment."

Having said that, Lu Chen scooped Wang Qingci up into a princess carry and walked toward the bookshelf.

Seeing Lu Chen carrying her towards the bookshelf, Wang Qingci felt somewhat perplexed. What was Lu Chen doing taking her to the bookshelf?

Previously, whenever Lu Chen wanted to do naughty things to her, he'd simply press her against the desk, tear off her clothes, or lift her skirt.

While Wang Qingci was curiously pondering, she noticed Lu Chen lift his hand. The next moment, the bookshelf in the study slowly moved aside, revealing another room in front of them.

Carrying Wang Qingci, Lu Chen entered the room directly and, as soon as they were inside, the bookshelf closed slowly on its own.

Upon seeing the secret chamber before her, Wang Qingci was momentarily stunned.

At this moment, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Madam Chu kept saying it was indecent for me to engage in such activities in the study, so I had someone specially construct this secret chamber. What do you think of it?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Wang Qingci glanced around the chamber. It contained a large bed, some racks, and a few peculiar tables and chairs.

Swallowing, Wang Qingci carefully asked, "Your Highness, why do I feel like this is more of a prison cell?"

Lu Chen chuckled, "What prison cell? This is where I rest."

"However, I've been too busy recently and didn't have the opportunity to use this place. Since you're here today, let's together experience the comfort of this room."

Wang Qingci said meekly, "Your Highness, let's go back to the study instead. It's too dark in here, and I'm a little scared."

Lu Chen then laid Wang Qingci down on the big bed and leaned over, saying, "You have nothing to fear with me here."

Wang Qingci pursed her lips, thinking to herself that it was precisely because of this bad egg that she was scared.

In such a pitch-dark place, who knew what this bad thing, Lu Chen, might do to her.

Without wasting any more time, Lu Chen immediately sealed Wang Qingci's lips with his own.

Left without a choice, Wang Qingci could only share the experience of the chamber's comfort with Lu Chen.

...

A few days later, Murong Xue'er arrived in Yan County with some companions.

Murong Xue'er was a trade envoy sent by Great Jue to reside in North Country. As an external official, her first duty upon arriving in North Country was to meet with Lu Chen, the ruler of this feudal state.

When Lu Chen heard that Murong Xue'er was coming to see him early in the morning, he made sure to get up early as well.

Inside the Hall of Political Affairs.

As Lu Chen slowly made his way to the throne, he glanced at the great hall and noticed that Murong Xue'er and the delegates from Great Jue had already arrived.

At that moment, Murong Xue'er stood up and said, "Subordinate Murong Xue'er pays her respects to the North Prince!"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "You may dispense with the formalities."

Gazing at the chilly yet breathtakingly beautiful Murong Xue'er, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel regretful. Such a lovely woman, how could she raise male pets? It was such a waste. The first time he had met Murong Xue'er, he had wanted to claim her for himself.

He should have made his move then. Now it was too late.

As these thoughts passed through Lu Chen's mind, he subconsciously used his system to identify Murong Xue'er's personal details, wanting to see if she had other motives for coming to North Country.

[Name: Murong Xue'er]

[Identity: A female officer by the side of the Empress of Da Yue, the only daughter of the Murong Family, a Master Realm practitioner, twenty-four years old. In the year the Empress of Da Yue ascended to the throne, the Murong family was executed for opposing her, leaving only Murong Xue'er behind. The Empress of Da Yue took her into the palace and nurtured her into a close confidante.

This time, Murong Xue'er's mission to North Country was to carry out an order from the Empress of Da Yue, to use a beauty strategy to approach the North Prince and take the opportunity to steal North Country's secrets. Murong Xue'er likes the appearance of the North Prince and believes that offering her virginity to the North Prince is not a loss.]

[Rating: 95]

[Favorability: 70]

Upon seeing Murong Xue'er's personal information, Lu Chen was taken aback.

Wasn't it said that Murong Xue'er kept male pets?

How was she still a virgin?

Does that mean the information that Wang Qingci had collected about Murong Xue'er's male pets was merely a rumor among the people of Da Yue and not true?

At this thought, Lu Chen's lips curved into a slight smile. A beauty strategy, was it?

He quite enjoyed when his enemies used a beauty strategy against him, especially if it meant more women with ratings above ninety being sent his way.

Lu Chen took another look at Murong Xue'er, dressed in black-trimmed white clothes, exuding the temperament of a learned woman as if she had always been immersed in a sea of books.

Lu Chen thought to himself, this woman was no good woman, lusting after his body.

He didn't remember ever having served Dragon and Phoenix Tea to Murong Xue'er, yet her favorability towards him had already reached seventy.

At that moment, Lu Chen spoke, "Miss Murong, long time no see!"

Murong Xue'er showed a slight smile on her cool face, "During my tenure in North Country, I hope for the North Prince's continued support."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Of course."

Murong Xue'er continued, "Then I shall thank the North Prince in advance!"

Lu Chen replied, "No need to thank me. It's only right."

At this, Lu Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "But tell me, aren't you from the Empress's inner circle? How could the Empress bear to send you to North Country as an envoy?"

Murong Xue'er responded, "I made a mistake in Da Yue and angered the Empress. She doesn't wish to see me temporarily and has hence dispatched me to North Country."

Lu Chen said, "I see."

"Miss Murong need not worry. You are the Empress's right-hand woman. It's likely just a fit of anger. Maybe after a while, she will call you back."

Murong Xue'er responded, "I hope your words prove true, Your Highness."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said, "Miss Murong, should you encounter any troubles in Yan County, or if you need anything, feel free to come to the North Prince Mansion to find me."

Murong Xue'er replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
