19 Chapter 19 It’s Time to Take Down Wang Qingci_1

Translator: 549690339

Mu Zixuan was always very open-minded regarding Lu Chen taking concubines and didn’t mind it at all.

However, Lu Chen himself had very high standards when it came to taking concubines, something that left Mu Zixuan with no options.

After hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, Zhou Xiaoxiao whispered into Mu Zixuan’s ear, “Sister, we have a woman in our Prince’s Mansion who meets the Prince’s standards.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixuan paused for a moment before instantly realizing which woman Zhou Xiaoxiao was referring to.

Mu Zixuan said indifferently, “Xiaoxiao, Madam Chu’s matter is not something we can intervene in, it’s up to the Prince and Madam Chu’s intentions.”

Almost everyone in the Prince’s Mansion knew that Chu Yuqin and Lu Chen had a complicated relationship.

From the way Lu Chen looked at Chu Yuqin, one could tell he wished he could devour her completely.

However, Chu Yuqin’s status was quite special, and it wouldn’t be an easy matter for Lu Chen to have his way with her.

Chu Yuqin was married once, and although her husband died shortly after the marriage, before they could consummate it, she was already considered part of that family, now a widow.

If Chu Yuqin had married into an ordinary household, it would be a different story; as the North Prince, Lu Chen had a certain status and could force the family to divorce her or annul the marriage.

But Chu Yuqin was married into the Wang Family, a power just below the Chu Family among the aristocratic families of the South, and the Wang Family was also the maternal family of Prince Lu Shuyun. For Lu Chen to use his status as the North Prince to make the Wang Family divorce Chu Yuqin was nearly impossible.

Of course, the biggest obstacle was Chu Yuqin herself.

People in the North Prince Mansion could see that Chu Yuqin merely viewed the North Prince as a child, as a junior of her own.

Additionally, given her gentle nature, she was unlikely to accept Lu Chen’s romantic affections.

After hearing Mu Zixuan’s words, Zhou Xiaoxiao pouted and said no more.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan thought of Wang Qingci from the Hundred Flowers Tower. If Lu Chen could subdue Wang Qingci soon, perhaps Zhou Youyou wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore.

But this was also not something she could intervene in.

With this thought, Mu Zixuan let out a soft sigh.

A little while later, once the noise from the pavilion had mostly subsided, Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao proceeded to enter the yard.

At this time, Zhou Youyou was disheveled and weak, lying powerlessly in Lu Chen’s arms.

She had fallen in love with Lu Chen at first sight, so she was originally very happy to develop a relationship with him.

But recently, without her sister and the Duchess to share the burden and with Lu Chen’s inexplicable ferocity, Zhou Youyou was finding it hard to cope.

Seeing Mu Zixuan and others enter the yard, Lu Chen guessed they might have heard the sounds from earlier, but he didn’t care at all.

The Prince’s Mansion was divided into an inner and an outer yard, and currently, the inner yard’s several private quarters were staffed by female guards, with Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao being his concubines, so it didn’t matter if they had heard.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan took the initiative to say, “Prince, we have made the perfume according to the method you provided.”

As Mu Zixuan finished speaking, a maidservant by her side walked into the pavilion carrying a wooden box and placed it on the stone table there.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen then lifted Zhou Youyou from his embrace and seated her on the bench inside the pavilion.

Seeing this, Zhou Youyou’s maidservant hurried over to support her.

Lu Chen approached the stone table, took a small porcelain bottle out of the wooden box, and then opened the stopper to take a sniff.

The perfume’s aroma was natural due to the production method, rich yet not overpowering.

Lu Chen expressed his satisfaction, “My consort, Xiaoxiao, you have worked hard.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao then asked, “Prince, how do you plan to sell this perfume?”

The perfume from the Prince’s Mansion was much more practical than the common sachets and even lasted longer; one only needed to take out the bottle and drip a few drops when necessary.

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said, “Perfume isn’t an essential product like soap, so let’s sell it for a bit more, a couple of silver per bottle.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao both paused in astonishment.

However, they quickly came to understand that although Lu Chen’s pricing was relatively high, as women, they were well aware that once the perfume was introduced, it would definitely attract the attention of countless young ladies.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan asked curiously, “Prince, where did you learn how to make this perfume?”

The perfume-making diagrams Lu Chen provided were very clear, with each step depicted, and they could be learned at a glance.

When they were making the perfume, they didn’t even have the servants do it; Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao had made the perfume themselves.

Hearing Mu Zixuan’s question, Lu Chen smiled slightly and shamelessly replied, “I researched it when I had nothing better to do.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s response, the ladies were quite surprised.

Everyone outside said the North Prince was all play and no learning, yet he had managed to create these two practical items.

At that moment, something occurred to Mu Zixuan and she continued, “Prince, I’m thinking of inviting Miss Wang from the Hundred Flowers Tower to the residence to discuss having the girls there try out the perfume ahead of time. What do you think?”

Mu Zixuan thought that it was not good for Lu Chen to focus his attention solely on Zhou Youyou all the time; since Lu Chen had long set his sights on Wang Qingci, she might as well give Wang Qingci more opportunities to appear before him.

Moreover, having the Oiran of the Hundred Flowers Tower try out the perfume would also help to quickly establish the perfume’s reputation.

With the perfume, the men who visited the Hundred Flowers Tower would surely go home with their bodies full of fragrance, a scent that would linger for a long time.

In time, the female members of those men’s households might try to find out where this fragrance on their bodies originated from.

When Mu Zixuan mentioned Wang Qingci, the image of that enchanting figure flashed through Lu Chen’s mind.

For a moment, Lu Chen felt his blood surging inside him.

After taking the Dragon and Tiger Pill, he had become increasingly unable to control himself; if he did not spend time cultivating his relationship with Zhou Youyou each day, he would find it hard to sleep at night.

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless; this was not sustainable, lately both Mu Zixuan and Zhou Xiaoxiao had become pregnant, and with his current abilities, Zhou Youyou’s turn was probably not far off.

If they all became pregnant, what was he supposed to do?

If he had known, he would never have taken the Dragon and Tiger Pill; it truly was a bane.

At that time, the system’s voice rang out.

[Host, please rest assured. You are unable to control the effects of the Dragon and Tiger Pill now because your realm is not high enough. Once you break through to the Ninth Grade Martial Artist, you will be able to easily suppress your desires.]

The corner of Lu Chen’s mouth twitched.

Ninth Grade?

His method of cultivation was to nurture relationships with his wives and concubines, but he feared he wouldn’t reach Ninth Grade before Zhou Youyou became pregnant.

In this damned place of Yan County, there were so few women with a score of ninety points, when would he be able to break through to Ninth Grade?

It seemed time to take down Wang Qingci.

Wang Qingci herself was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, with physical strength incomparable to ordinary frail women.

After taking her down, his Qi Refinement Mantra should be able to quickly break through to the second level.
