The Ninth Imperial Son: From Indolence to Supremacy

hapter 3: Aunt Chu's Reminder

As a martial artist of the ninth rank, Chu Yuqin held a very high position in the Northern Prince's Mansion. She was in charge of all the guards in the entire mansion. However, even so, the soldiers guarding the courtyard gate still felt it was rather inappropriate to ask Chu Yuqin to wake up their prince.

In the past, it had been no problem for Chu Yuqin to wake up their prince, but now that their prince was married, if she happened to encounter Lu Chen and the princess flirting or something like that, it would be terribly embarrassing.

Just like right now...

Although the courtyard gate was a bit far from the bridal chamber, some sounds coming from inside could still be faintly heard.

Chu Yuqin knitted her willow-like eyebrows. Although she was still a maiden, as an adult woman, she naturally knew why those sounds were there.

Chu Yuqin muttered to herself, "This little rascal can't even stay still in the early morning."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin turned her head and said to the soldier beside her, "You may leave. From now on, replace the guards at the courtyard gate with female guards."

The soldier quickly replied, "Yes, Madam Chu."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, he fled this troublesome place in a hurry.

After having some fun with Mu Zixuan, Lu Chen held her tightly in his arms.

At this time, Mu Zixuan's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look directly into Lu Chen's eyes.

Lu Chen stroked Mu Zixuan's hair and asked with a smile, "Lady, are you satisfied with me as your husband?"

Mu Zixuan gave a soft "Mm-hmm" in response.

Before marrying into the prince's mansion, she had been a bit worried that he might look like a child. But after seeing Lu Chen, all her worries disappeared.

After a night of getting to know each other, she found that the Northern Prince's body had already matured. Although he wasn't particularly burly, he was very sturdy.

Moreover, he was quite handsome, fully meeting the image of a perfect husband in her mind.

The Mu family had been affected by the families involved in the rebellion and wouldn't be able to turn things around for a long time to come. Being able to marry a prince was really her good fortune.

Originally, her father had been grooming her to be the crown princess, but she herself had never had the idea of becoming the crown princess. In her opinion, marrying a carefree prince was much better than being the crown princess.

Although the Northern Prince might not be mentally mature enough, it also meant that she, as the princess, had a great say in the Northern Prince's Mansion.

Besides, the fief of the Northern Prince was quite far from the capital. Once they left the capital, they might never be able to return. At the thought of getting away from the political center, Mu Zixuan was extremely happy inside.

Lu Chen then said, "We'll set off for the Northern County tomorrow. After getting up, I'll go with you to see your father."

Mu Zixuan said, "Alright."

Subsequently, with the service of two beautiful maidservants, Lu Chen took a simple bath and then walked out of the room.

When Lu Chen saw Chu Yuqin standing at the entrance of the courtyard, his eyes lit up. Immediately, he used the system to identify her personal information.

[Name: Chu Yuqin]

[Identity: Maid of Chu Yue, sister sworn by Chu Yue through the rite of becoming sworn sisters, spokesperson for the Chu family's interests, wife of Wang Han, currently the commander of the guards in the Northern Prince's Mansion, the first love of the Northern Prince.]

[Score: 97]

[Goodwill: 98]

Seeing the introduction of Chu Yuqin's identity, Lu Chen was a bit confused. On the very day when Chu Yuqin married Wang Han, Wang Han had already died. They hadn't even consummated their marriage. How could she still be considered Wang Han's wife?

Also, what was the deal with being the Northern Prince's first love? Although he did have a certain attraction to her.

Was this identity introduction a bit unreliable...

However, come to think of it, Chu Yuqin actually had a score of 97 and her goodwill towards him had reached 98.

This further stirred up the evil thoughts in his heart.Lu Chen smiled and said to Chu Yuqin, "Aunt Chu, came to eavesdrop so early?" Chu Yuqin scolded, "Little rascal, although carrying on the family line is important, you still have to take care of your health!" Lu Chen said he was strong and could handle it. Chu Yuqin glanced at him and told him to meet Duke Mu after breakfast. She said that although Duke Mu had been implicated, he had great influence in the military and Lu Chen would need his help when going to the Northern County to take up his fief. Lu Chen was confused. Chu Yuqin pointed out that his identity was special. Even if he did nothing, because his mother was from the Chu family and represented the Chu family's interests, he would be regarded as a threat. Only the dead were no threat. After Lu Chen understood, he wasn't too worried because he had the system.

At this time, Mu Zixuan, supported by maids, came out and saluted Chu Yuqin. Chu Yuqin asked her to take good care of Lu Chen and then left. After breakfast, Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan went to Duke Mu's Mansion. Duke Mu was burly and strong. Seeing Lu Chen, Mu Changtian saluted and then led him to the main hall. He asked Lu Chen about his plans after taking up the fief. Lu Chen said he just wanted to govern the Northern County well and live a peaceful life with Mu Zixuan. Mu Changtian regretted asking and thought Lu Chen was a political novice. Lu Chen then asked Mu Changtian for help. Although Mu Changtian thought Lu Chen was naive, he also knew that this would make his daughter more important in the prince's mansion. So he smiled and said that Lu Chen's trip would surely be smooth.
