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

Murong Xue'er had no idea what Lu Chen was thinking; she even assumed that Lu Chen was merely taking her to some pavilion to enjoy tea.

However, it didn't take long for Murong Xue'er to realize that something was amiss, after all, they hadn't left the study but had moved from the study to another room.

After Murong Xue'er followed Lu Chen into the resting room, she glanced around the entire space, noting that the layout of this resting room was no different from a bedroom.

Curious, Murong Xue'er asked, "Prince, do you usually sleep in this room?"

Lu Chen replied, "Not really, this is just a resting room adjacent to the study. When I feel tired from dealing with official documents, I would take a short rest here."

Having said that, Lu Chen walked up to the round tea table, picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea for Murong Xue'er, and then asked, "Miss Murong, I wonder if you have tried the tea I sent you?"

Upon hearing this question, Murong Xue'er immediately said, "I've tried it, thank you, Prince, for giving me such precious tea."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I injured Miss Murong last time at the Hundred Flowers Tower, so this tea serves as my compensation."

As he spoke, Lu Chen picked up the tea cup from the table and placed it in front of Murong Xue'er, then carefully lifted his own cup and took a delicate sip of the tea.

After taking a sip, Lu Chen spoke again, "Miss Murong, may I ask what brings you to see me this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Murong Xue'er smiled wryly, then asked, "Must I have serious business to come see the Prince?"

Lu Chen gazed into Murong Xue'er's clear eyes and said with a smile, "Of course not. Miss Murong is welcome in the Prince's Mansion at any time, however..."

At this point, Lu Chen paused, then continued, "However, as an emissary of Great Jue, being too close to me may affect your reputation if word of it gets back to Great Jue."

Murong Xue'er said, "I didn't realize the Prince cared for me so much."

"But rest assured, Prince, I wore a veil when I came to the North Prince Mansion, and very few people know about it."

Lu Chen said, "Then I am relieved."

At this time, Murong Xue'er took the initiative to say, "Prince, I came to see you because the Empress has summoned me to return for a debriefing. Therefore, I wanted to admire your calligraphy once more before I leave North Country. Is that possible?"

Hearing Murong Xue'er's words, Lu Chen was momentarily startled, then he asked, "Return to Great Jue for debriefing?"

"Will you come back to North Country?"

Lu Chen thought, this woman had finally gotten close to him, and without obtaining any secrets of the North Prince Mansion, was she willing to leave just like that?

Murong Xue'er answered, "I am not sure about that; it will depend on Her Majesty's wishes."

Lu Chen continued to inquire, "Now that your Virgin Mark is gone, if you go back and the Yue Emperor inspects you, won't she find out that you lost your virginity in North Country?"

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Murong Xue'er immediately sighed and pretended to worry, "I have also been concerned about this matter for the past few days."

"If the Empress finds out I've lost my virginity, she might never let me return to North Country or might even dispose of me. The Empress detests impurity the most."

Lu Chen said with a laugh, "Actually, I have an idea that might help you deceive the Yue Emperor."

Murong Xue'er said, "Please tell me, Prince, what is it?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's quite simple. Since the Virgin Mark is gone, why not just paint another one?"

"This..." Murong Xue'er hesitated to say more.

It must be said, Lu Chen's imagination was quite rich. The Virgin Mark wasn't something simply painted on; if it were, a bath would wash it away. Could it be that she hadn't bathed since returning to Great Jue?

Murong Xue'er said, "Prince really has a way with words. A painted Virgin Mark cannot even touch water. Does the Prince expect me not to bathe for the entire time I am back in Great Jue?"

Lu Chen said, "Miss Murong misunderstands, although the Virgin Mark is painted on, I have special ways to ensure it does not fade easily."

"Does Miss Murong remember when at Hundred Flowers Tower last time, the words I wrote on Miss Murong's body didn't blur despite Miss Murong being drenched in sweat?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue'er realized what he meant. After Lu Chen left the Hundred Flowers Tower last time, she immediately asked her maidservant to bring hot water for bathing, yet the words Lu Chen wrote on her body took great effort to wash off.

At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Although I can paint the Virgin Mark, I have forgotten what it looks like; does Miss Murong still remember it?"

"If Miss Murong has also forgotten, then this matter becomes troublesome."

Murong Xue'er said, "I naturally remember the Virgin Mark. Please provide me with paper and brush, and I can draw it right now."

No sooner had Murong Xue'er finished speaking than Lu Chen raised his hand and performed an act of telekinesis, and in the next moment, a full set of paper, ink, brush, and inkstone flew to the table in front of them from inside the study.

Murong Xue'er did not hesitate and picked up the brush to begin drawing the Virgin Mark on the pure white paper.

Murong Xue'er was very aware that, although the Yue Emperor meant for her to seduce the North Prince with her body and tease out the secrets of the North Prince Mansion, she knew if she lost her virginity, the Yue Emperor would certainly feel disgust towards her.

Having been with the Yue Emperor since she was young, how could she not know what kind of person the Yue Emperor was.

Therefore, she truly hoped that Lu Chen could paint a convincing Virgin Mark, one that could deceive the Yue Emperor. In doing so, she could use her beauty to tempt Lu Chen to complete her mission without alienating the Yue Emperor.

In the future, when she returned to Great Jue, she would still be able to receive the Emperor's favor.

It just wasn't certain if the Virgin Mark Lu Chen painted could fool the Yue Emperor.

Murong Xue'er quickly finished drawing the Virgin Mark on paper.

Seeing the Virgin Mark on the paper, Lu Chen said with a smile to Murong Xue'er, "Miss Murong, please disrobe, and I will paint the Virgin Mark on you now."

Murong Xue'er did not hesitate either, starting to undress in front of Lu Chen, as they had already been intimate before, and he had seen all of her; she felt indifferent about it now.

She came today intending to use her body to extract information about the North Prince Mansion from Lu Chen. It wasn't just a matter of him looking; before long, Lu Chen would also be getting hands-on.

She was a woman of awareness, so she undressed with resolve and as Murong Xue'er's gown slipped from her shoulders, revealing her white undergarments gradually parting, her flat and fair belly appeared before Lu Chen.

Seeing Murong Xue'er's jade-like body, Lu Chen, who was originally calm, instantly stirred.

At this moment, Murong Xue'er made her way to the bed and slowly lay down, "Prince, you have the trouble now."

Lu Chen immediately said, "It's no trouble at all."

As the words fell, Lu Chen picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and after scanning the exquisite view before him, he began to move the brush infused with his spiritual power slowly across Murong Xue'er's belly.

Lu Chen was earnest with every stroke, and it wasn't long before Murong Xue'er's Virgin Mark reappeared on her belly—albeit a painted one, serving no real purpose.
