Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1083 - 773: Oh? Is my wife blaming me?

Hearing Lu Chen’s question, Yelv Nanyan struggled to control her emotions.

"Hmm... thanks to Your Majesty’s blessing, everything is... um... all good!"

Lu Chen continued to ask, "Hmm... Are you still drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea?"

Yelv Nanyan replied, "Of course I am still drinking it, hmm... Why does Your Majesty suddenly ask... this question?"

Lu Chen answered, "My Honored Master told me that there is a problem with the Dragon Phoenix Tree."

Hearing these words from Lu Chen, Yelv Nanyan was suddenly startled, and Lu Chen could clearly feel Yelv Nanyan tensing up completely.

When Yelv Nanyan regained her composure, she pretended to ask, "Problem? ... What... huh... what kind of problem?"

Lu Chen, with a smile, replied, "I’m not sure myself, which is why I wanted to ask you if you’ve felt unwell after drinking the Dragon and Phoenix Tea?"

Yelv Nanyan hurriedly said, "This lowly one... this lowly one hasn’t felt uncomfortable..."

Lu Chen said, "Oh? Really?"

While speeding up his actions, Lu Chen said, "This is what my Honored Master told me, she said that women who have drunk the Dragon and Phoenix Tea would grow increasingly fond of me. They had already discovered the special nature of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea long ago. They continued to drink it because they regarded me as a Furnace Cauldron."

Upon hearing the last sentence where Lu Chen referred to himself as "I", Yelv Nanyan became even more nervous, and her body turned even hotter.

Yelv Nanyan rushed to say, "This... this one has never... entertained such thoughts... Your Majesty... ah!"

Lu Chen immediately said, "Hmm, so you had already discovered the secret of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea?"

Yelv Nanyan became flustered, "This... this one..."

She didn’t know what to say at the moment; she viewed the secret of the Dragon Phoenix Tree as something that absolutely couldn’t be revealed.

She had long been aware of the secret of the Dragon Phoenix Tree, only pretending to be ignorant the entire time. She also feared that Lu Chen had realized that she knew this secret.

After all, such a matter, if spoken out loud, wouldn’t be pleasant to hear.

Lu Chen, after all, was an Emperor, and moreover, an Emperor who had unified the entire world—his using such petty schemes, if known to others, would damage his image.

Seeing Yelv Nanyan so nervous, Lu Chen felt a playful urge and continued to busy himself, letting Yelv Nanyan face that feeling of a mind gone blank in her panic.

After who knows how long, calm seemed to return to the bedchamber. Lu Chen, still breathing heavily, whispered in Yelv Nanyan’s ear, "Hmm... so what if you know? I won’t do anything, look how scared you got."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the beauty whose mind had been blank gradually regained her senses; Lu Chen had deliberately used this matter to make her anxious, then took the opportunity...

How Lu Chen loved to do such things...

This little man, he’s really detestable!

Although he had already come of age, in Yelv Nanyan’s eyes at this moment, Lu Chen was still a little man—so playful; he still hadn’t grown up.

At this time, Lu Chen turned over while holding Yelv Nanyan, then gazed down at her beautiful face and continued to ask, "Nanyan, since you’ve noticed the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, why do you continue to drink it?"

Upon hearing this question, Yelv Nanyan fell silent for a moment, her blush deepening, "This one..."

Seeing Yelv Nanyan hesitate to speak, Lu Chen stroked her cheek and said, "Say whatever you wish to say in front of me."

Yelv Nanyan then simply stopped concealing the truth and directly said, "This one is already Your Majesty’s woman, already inseparable from Your Majesty, so the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea are a good thing for me; drinking it even helps to hasten my spiritual cultivation."

She already had children with Lu Chen, and her heart was also inclined toward Lu Chen. At this point, what would be the point of her giving up the Dragon and Phoenix Tea?

As for the Dragon and Phoenix Tea making her increasingly fond of Lu Chen, that effect, for her and for Lu Chen’s other consorts, was positive; after all, they belonged to Lu Chen. If not fond of Lu Chen, then who would they like?

To give up the Dragon and Phoenix Tea voluntarily would mean they had other thoughts in their hearts.

Hearing Yelv Nanyan’s response, Lu Chen thought to himself that it seemed all his women basically shared Yelv Nanyan’s views.

In this era, it was normal to follow one’s husband, and they had all fallen for his ruse, tying themselves to him. Now, the Dragon and Phoenix Tea was not seen as something negative for them.

So even if all of them knew the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, none would hold any negative feelings toward him.

With that thought, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that it was really a matter of maintaining proper care of his wives and consorts, which is why they had no complaints against him.

If he had forcefully taken their innocence and then failed to provide proper care afterward, they would have likely been dissatisfied with him even after learning about the effects of the Dragon and Phoenix Tea.

Seeing that Lu Chen was looking at her without speaking, seemingly deep in thought, Yelv Nanyan softly said, "Your Majesty, how about calling Yaoyao here? She has been mentioning Your Majesty frequently these days."

She indeed found it somewhat difficult to deal with Lu Chen alone, who was already a Myriad Laws Realm Cultivator. Anyway, Xiao Wenyao was next door, and Xiao Wenyao must have noticed the commotion in her room by now, guessing she was preoccupied with thoughts about it.

Hearing Yelv Nanyan’s words, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then sent a message to the maid outside the room, "Go call for Consort Xiao."

Usually, when Lu Chen engaged in that sort of activity with his wives and concubines, there would always be maids or young female attendants serving at his side, but today, in order to test whether Yelv Nanyan knew about the Dragon and Phoenix Tea, he had sent all the maids and female attendants away from his bedroom, leaving just the two of them.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s telepathic message, the maid at the door immediately responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a short while, Xiao Wenyao appeared in Yelv Nanyan’s bedroom, as if she had already been prepared for what was to happen.

When Xiao Wenyao entered Yelv Nanyan’s bedroom, Lu Chen and Yelv Nanyan had already started what was who knows which round of their engagement, and Xiao Wenyao’s cheeks blushed as she stepped in.

At this time, Lu Chen turned his head and caught a glimpse of Xiao Wenyao standing in the middle of the bedroom and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, what are you doing standing there? Come over here."

Xiao Wenyao softly replied, "This—This one will come over now."

Despite Xiao Wenyao having been promoted to Noble Concubine, and the emperor proclaiming his unique affection for her, she still liked to refer to herself as ’this one’ in front of Lu Chen, and she found that Lu Chen seemed to quite like this self-referential term as well.

As soon as Xiao Wenyao finished speaking, she moved to the side of the soft couch, then joined Yelv Nanyan in dealing with Lu Chen.

...

Near evening time.

Lu Chen arrived at a room filled with an ancient elegance, brimming with the atmosphere of literature and poetry.

He had not spent too much time with Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao; after all, he still had so many wives and concubines awaiting him. Though he had not summoned them, the commotion he had made at Yelv Nanyan’s place likely informed them all of his return.

After entering Murong Xue’er’s bedroom, Lu Chen did not find Murong Xue’er. The bedroom was incredibly quiet. The walls of the bedroom were adorned everywhere with calligraphy and poetry, and next to Murong Xue’er’s soft couch, there were even several sketches of Lu Chen.

At that moment, Lu Chen used his Spiritual Power to ascertain Murong Xue’er’s exact location, discovered that she was in her study, and directly used Shadow Shifting to appear in Murong Xue’er’s study.

Murong Xue’er was leaning over her desk, holding a brush, earnestly writing something.

Seeing this, Lu Chen did not disturb her. He slowly walked to the side, taking in Murong Xue’er’s appearance.

Murong Xue’er was dressed in black and white clothing, with a white foundation embroidered with lines of poetry; her garb was somewhat loose, revealing her fair jade neck and a hint of her shoulder.

Murong Xue’er’s hair was swept up high, giving her a mature and dignified appearance, filled with the aura of a noblewoman and emitting an indistinct sense of scholarly talent.

Seeing Murong Xue’er so absorbed in her task, Lu Chen almost wanted to press her down onto the table right there and then and write fiercely all over her.

After an indeterminate amount of time passed, Murong Xue’er finally spoke, "Your Majesty arrives and doesn’t even speak?"

Without turning to look at Lu Chen, Murong Xue’er continued her writing. Lu Chen said with a laugh, "I am the Emperor after all. I arrive, and you do not salute but rather ask why I do not speak."

Murong Xue’er responded indifferently, "Hasn’t Your Majesty said that in your harem there are only family members, not subjects and sovereigns, so no salutations are needed upon seeing you?"

"Does Your Majesty intend to retract those words now?"

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, seeing that Murong Xue’er did indeed take his words to heart. Although he had emphasized it many times, his other women still saluted upon seeing him.

Lu Chen then slowly moved closer, his arms directly encircling Murong Xue’er’s waist and pressing his body against her buttocks, as he lay his head in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.

"I haven’t returned for such a long time; did Xue’er miss me?"

Feeling Lu Chen’s warmth at her buttocks, Murong Xue’er knew what Lu Chen intended to do next. She set aside her brush and turned her head slightly to look at him.

"In truth, as Your Majesty’s woman, I’m always missing Your Majesty, but unfortunately, with Your Majesty attending to a myriad of state affairs, you are unable to visit me often."

Saying this, Murong Xue’er’s face bore a wistful expression, seemingly filled with grievance.

Lu Chen, smiling, said, "Oh, is my lady blaming me?"

"Then, I will stay with you here for a while."

Lu Chen was well aware that Murong Xue’er’s look of forlornness was an act; they had played these games more than once or twice, but in the end, Murong Xue’er would always beg for mercy and admit defeat.

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Murong Xue’er continued to exhibit a pitiful demeanor, "Your Majesty is tasked with the world’s burdens; how could you afford to be immersed in delights of the flesh? This one—"

Murong Xue’er’s words were cut short by the sound of tearing from behind her.

Lu Chen pressed Murong Xue’er down, right on top of the words she had just been writing.

Damn it, I can’t take it anymore!
