Translator: 549690339
Wang Qingci left Lu Chen’s study disheveled, her hair loose and flowing, her face flushed with color.
Her walk was unsteady and wobbly.
Just as she stepped out of the main courtyard, she happened to bump into Chu Yuqin, who was on patrol. Seeing Wang Qingci in such a state, Chu Yuqin knew that bitch must have just gone to seduce her Chen’er.
Chu Yuqin said in a taunting tone, “Miss Wang, I’ve heard that the business at the Hundred Flowers Tower is particularly good. As the Tower Master, why aren’t you there overseeing it, instead of coming to the Prince’s Mansion every day?”
Seeing the jealousy in Chu Yuqin’s eyes, Wang Qingci smiled knowingly.
She was very aware of why Chu Yuqin disliked her: wasn’t it because she served the North Prince every day, arousing her envy?
Wang Qingci then said, “Madam Chu, the Princess and several ladies are pregnant, so only a concubine like me can serve the Prince. You’re not unaware of the great stress the Prince is under. If 1 don’t attend to him, are you suggesting that Madam Chu help the Prince relax?”
“If Madam Chu plans to help the Prince relieve his stress every day, then this concubine won’t come tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin’s complexion changed dramatically, and then a gust of wind blew out from her body, wildly tossing her skirts.
“Wang Qingci, you’re just Chen’er’s Female Slave. I’d advise you to watch what you say!”
“Otherwise, even if I kill you, I believe Chen’er wouldn’t say a thing!”
Wang Qingci smiled sweetly, and then said, “Madam Chu, if you really intend to kill this concubine, without me to serve the Prince, I’m afraid you’ll truly have to attend to him every day then!”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was both angry and embarrassed, her face coloring with a blush.
“You!”
Seeing that Wang Qingci wasn’t afraid of her at all, Chu Yuqin couldn’t be bothered to argue any further. She turned on her heel and walked towards the other side of the Prince’s Mansion, muttering as she went:
“She’s merely a tool for Chen’er to release his evil thoughts. Why should I be upset over a tool?”
Wang Qingci wasn’t angry upon hearing these words. Indeed, she was just a tool, but as long as she could please the North Prince, that’s all that mattered.
Watching Chu Yuqin’s voluptuous figure, Wang Qingci’s lips curled up slightly as she whispered, “Madam Chu, oh Madam Chu, the Prince’s patience is limited, and it won’t be long before you end up in his bed.”
Although Chu Yuqin had been trying to keep her distance from Lu Chen for the past six months, she was, after all, the commander of the inner guard, responsible for Lu Chen’s safety.
So, Chu Yuqin would occasionally come across Lu Chen seizing Wang Qingci, and every time she saw Chu Yuqin or even mentioned her in his presence, his entire demeanor would grow more furious, as if he became a completely different person, wildly crazed, making her suffer alongside.
It was clear that Lu Chen’s desire for Chu Yuqin was growing day by day, and while he still could restrain his inner longing, it might not last forever.
Maybe one careless day, the two might bump into each other, Chu Yuqin might not get away, and then she would be devoured completely.
After Chu Yuqin’s figure disappeared from sight, Wang Qingci turned and continued to leave the courtyard. But as she turned, she saw Mu Zixuan.
Having rested a while after giving birth, Mu Zixuan had largely recovered and was now able to get out of bed and walk.
Unlike with Chu Yuqin, Wang Qingci held great respect for the Princess Mu Zixuan. Upon seeing her, Wang Qingci immediately said, “Greetings to the Princess.”
Mu Zixuan smiled faintly and nodded, “Rise, Miss Wang.”
Mu Zixuan knew that Wang Qingci was Lu Chen’s plaything, so she didn’t mind at all that Wang Qingci frequently visited the inner court.
In this era, most mistresses didn’t care if their husbands had concubines or Female Slaves; Mu Zixuan was no exception.
At this moment, Mu Zixuan asked, “Is the Prince inside?”
Wang Qingci answered, “The Prince is now in the study.”
Mu Zixuan said, “Alright, Miss Wang, go ahead and do whatever you need to,
I’ll go check on the Prince.”
Mu Zixuan was increasingly exuding the temperament of a Prince’s wife, with every word and action revealing the aura of someone in a high position.
Just as Wang Qingci was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and immediately said, “Oh yes, Madam, I have a favor to ask of you, if you would be willing to hear it.”
Hearing this, Mu Zixuan asked with a hint of curiosity, “What is it? Miss Wang, please speak.”
Wang Qingci glanced at Lu Chen’s study, then said, “Madam, isn’t it about time for the Prince to take another concubine? Please consider this as me overstepping.”
Ever since Lu Chen’s wives and concubines became pregnant, it had been Wang Qingci attending to Lu Chen every day, and even as a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, she could hardly bear it any longer.
Now that Mu Zixuan had just given birth, she obviously couldn’t attend to Lu Chen, leaving her, the Female Slave, to continue serving him.
Although she was just a Female Slave, and it wasn’t her place to speak of taking concubines, she simply couldn’t endure it any longer.
She believed that Mu Zixuan was a rather magnanimous person and wouldn’t prevent Lu Chen from taking concubines, after all, the North Prince’s household was hardly sufficient to serve him, and as his wife, Mu Zixuan couldn’t possibly forever refuse him additional concubines.
When Mu Zixuan heard Wang Qingci’s words, she immediately grasped the situation, knowing that Wang Qingci must be overwhelmed.
Mu Zixuan thought to herself, if even a Ninth Grade Martial Artist could barely cope, her darling’s constitution must be extremely formidable.
When she had married Lu Chen in the Capital city, she had thought him to be a youth whose body was depleted by wine and women, and presumed it to be quite frail.
Looking at it now…
Mu Zixuan sighed and then said, “Miss Wang, 1 will bring up the matter of the Prince taking concubines to him. You can go back with your mind at ease.”
Wang Qingci immediately expressed her thanks, “Thank you, Madam.”
“I shall take my leave.”
Afterward, Wang Qingci turned and left the courtyard.
Meanwhile.
Just coming out of his study, Lu Chen saw Chu Yuqin, her face flushed with redness, and immediately called out to her, “Madam Chu, wait a moment, I have a question to ask of you.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin halted in her tracks. She turned to look at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, “Chen’er, what do you need from me?”
Lu Chen asked, “Madam Chu, I remember that the higher a Martial Artist’s realm, the more difficult it is for them to conceive, correct?”
Chu Yuqin answered, “That’s correct, why do you ask?”
Chu Yuqin felt a twinge of nervousness inside. Why would Chen’er suddenly ask this? He wouldn’t still be considering me as an option, would he?
After all, within the inner quarters of the Prince’s Mansion, it seemed she was the only female Martial Artist close to Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen said, “I’ve been intimate with Wang Qingci so many times, and yet she still hasn’t become pregnant, but there’s nothing wrong with her body.”
“Even if it’s harder for Martial Artists with higher realms to conceive, it shouldn’t be that after half a year there’s still not the slightest reaction from her body, right?”
Upon hearing Lu Chen mention Wang Qingci, Chu Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief. So, he was speaking of Wang Qingci. She had thought he was eyeing her up.
Chu Yuqin smiled warmly, then responded, “Chen’er, are you unaware that Martial Artists above Fifth Grade can expel certain impurities from their bodies using their Inner Strength?”
“Many Martial Artists, if they’re poisoned, can use their Inner Strength to expel the toxins, as long as the poison isn’t too fierce..”
