Chapter 297: Your Majesty, It’s Still Early
After Lu Chen left Dongfang Longyue's room, he went to Fengyun Courtyard for breakfast. While drinking the tonic porridge cooked by Mu Zixuan, he checked the system prompts from last night.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a wife and concubine, and reward oil exploration, mining, and production related technical drawings. ]
[The host and the wife and concubine cultivate feelings once, and the experience value of the Qi Refining Art is increased by 10,000, and the experience value of the Rejuvenation Hand is increased...]
Seeing the prompts in front of him, Lu Chen thought to himself, oil? Under the current conditions of the North Country, I am afraid that the oil extracted cannot be used for the production of chemical products.
The North Country is still an agricultural country and does not have the conditions for large-scale industrial production, so oil should not be mined for the time being.
Of course, even if it is not mined now, oil exploration work must be carried out. He needs to find out what kind of resources there are in those places in the North Country. When the North Country develops one day in the future and turns from an agricultural country to an industrial country, oil will be able to play a huge role.
With his life span as a grandmaster, a few hundred years is not a problem, and he may break through to the heavenly realm one day in the future. After breaking through the heavenly realm, he may live for a thousand years. Anyway, in his lifetime, he will definitely see the world transform from an agricultural world to an industrial world.
At this time, Mu Zixuan found that Lu Chen was distracted, and she asked curiously: "Prince, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Lu Chen came back to his senses, and he said with a smile: "Nothing, by the way, I plan to create a newspaper with the Northern Palace as the main body."
Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted that Dongfang Longyue is now in charge of the Oriental Newspaper, and now Dongfang Longyue has become Lu Chen's woman, maybe Lu Chen is looking for something for Dongfang Longyue to do.
However, the official already has a newspaper.
Thinking of this, Mu Zixuan asked: "Your Highness, the palace already has a Beiguo Times. Would it be redundant to create another newspaper?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "The current Beiguo Times is the newspaper of the Beiguo Small Court. The newspaper I want to create next is a newspaper completely controlled by the Beiwang Palace."
Mu Zixuan said: "I understand. I will help you to create the newspaper later. Can you give it a name?"
Lu Chen thought for a while, "Let's call it Fengyun Times."
Hearing this name, Mu Zixuan was stunned again. This name...
Compared to being the name of a courtyard, the two words "Fengyun" are more suitable for serious occasions. As the name of a newspaper, it is actually the most suitable.
But for some reason, when Mu Zixuan thought of what Lu Chen said yesterday, something like stirring up the wind and clouds at night, she felt that this name was weird.
...
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Lu Chen took a concubine.
In the end, Dongfang Longyue decided to stay in the Dongfang Newspaper for a while. She thought that since she was already the woman of the Northern King, it was not so important whether she had a title or not. She had to run the Dongfang Newspaper well and let the Dongfang Newspaper guide public opinion for the Northern King.
Dongfang Longyue naturally knew that the Northern King's Mansion had a newspaper called Fengyun Times, and she also knew that Fengyun Times would most likely be managed by her in the future.
But compared with Fengyun Times, a newspaper that had a close relationship with the Northern King's Mansion, a private newspaper could better guide public opinion.
In the eyes of the common people, although the Dongfang Newspaper was also established after passing the review, the Dongfang Newspaper was, after all, a newspaper of the Dongfang family and had no official attributes. In reality, some common people just did not believe in the court or the palace.
In Dongfang Longyue's view, she could only play her greatest value by staying in the Dongfang Newspaper, so she did not need to be so anxious to get that title for the time being.
Compared with getting that title, it is better to show more of her own value, so that the Northern King can pay more attention to herself.
Although Dongfang Longyue did not agree to ask for a status now, the wedding that the palace should hold must still be held, after all, Wang Qingci, the concubine, has to enter the palace.
Wang Qingci's wedding was arranged by Mu Zixuan. Although Wang Qingci married into the Beiwang Mansion as a concubine, she still wore a red wedding dress, which was similar to the standard of marrying a wife.
Wang Qingci sat in the wedding room, looking a little dazed. She didn't expect that she would have this day.
She used to work for the Wang family and thought that she would only be a tool of the Wang family for her whole life. When a certain time came, she would be abandoned by the Wang family. As a result, she met the bad guy Beiwang in Beijun, who made her leave the Wang family in advance.
When Wang Qingci thought of what happened between her and Lu Chen, she felt a little unreal. She was obviously the enemy of Beiwang at the beginning, but she was captured by Beiwang and became Beiwang's female slave. The key is that she was completely conquered by Beiwang in the end.
Wang Qingci couldn't help but laugh at herself. She was such a shameless woman. She was obviously captured by Lu Chen, but she fell in love with this bad guy and couldn't help herself.
Just as Wang Qingci was thinking about it, the voice of the maid came from the door, "Meeting the prince!"
Hearing this, Wang Qingci became nervous for a while. She didn't know how many times she had served Lu Chen, but she had never been so nervous as today.
The next moment, the door opened and Lu Chen entered the room.
Lu Chen's footsteps were light, but it seemed that every step went into Wang Qingci's heart. Wang Qingci's heartbeat became faster and faster. After a while, Lu Chen came to the bed and lifted Wang Qingci's red veil with Yu Ruyi.
At this time, Wang Qingci's face was already red, and even her ears were red. Lu Chen teased, "Is it your first wedding night, Master Wang? Why do you look so nervous?"
After hearing Lu Chen's teasing, Wang Qingci instantly relaxed a lot. She looked up at Lu Chen and said, "Of course this is my first wedding night."
Although her body and mind had long become like Lu Chen, the things she did before were at most sexual pleasure, which could not be considered a wedding night. In Wang Qingci's view, only the things done on the wedding day could be considered a wedding night.
This was her first time getting married, her first time getting married, and of course her first wedding night.
But after being teased by Lu Chen, Wang Qingci was not as nervous as before.
At this time, Lu Chen's big hand hugged Wang Qingci's belly and put her directly on the bed.
Seeing this scene, Wang Qingci thought Lu Chen was going to do something to her, but after Lu Chen came to the bed, he did not continue the next step, but just hugged her willow waist, and then just hugged her quietly.
This...
Wang Qingci was stunned for a moment.
Lu Chen has never been a quiet person. Every time he caught her, she would be beaten up by Lu Chen. Why didn't Lu Chen do anything today?
Wang Qingci felt a little puzzled.
Could it be that Lu Chen was tired of it?
Since the last time he had sex with him in the study of the old palace, Lu Chen never touched her again, even after moving to the new city, Lu Chen did not touch her.
She didn't take it seriously at first. After all, Lu Chen had so many women, it was normal for him to be too busy.
But today was the day she married him and the day she married into the palace. At this time, Lu Chen just hugged her and didn't do anything serious?
Wang Qingci began to become anxious.
Today was her first day of marrying into the palace, but the prince didn't touch her body. How could she feel at ease?
After a long while, Wang Qingci finally plucked up the courage to say, "Prince, it's still early."
Wang Qingci's implication was that it was still so early, so it was better to do something happy to kill time.
However, Lu Chen said "hmm" at this time, and then there was no movement. He just hugged Wang Qingci's waist like this, looking like he was going to sleep.
Seeing Lu Chen's reaction so calm, Wang Qingci couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the prince didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't have much energy today and planned to go to bed early?
As Lu Chen's woman, Wang Qingci knew Lu Chen's living habits very well. Sometimes Lu Chen had a lot of fun and might not sleep all night, so the two of them often stayed up all night.
Wang Qingci thought to herself that maybe Lu Chen stayed up all night with a woman in the palace last night, such as Dongfang Longyue.
Since Lu Chen moved to the North Country, he ran to Dongfang Longyue's room every day, almost every day. It was obvious that Dongfang Longyue was Lu Chen's new love.
Thinking of this, Wang Qingci always felt a little sour in her heart. Although she had never thought of monopolizing Lu Chen alone, she also knew that she could not bear Lu Chen's favor alone.
But when Wang Qingci thought that she was going to marry Lu Chen today, and Lu Chen had been lingering with other women last night, she felt a little depressed.
If Lu Chen stayed up all night with his woman at other times, she would not feel uncomfortable, but today was their wedding day.
Wang Qingci sighed inwardly. Perhaps in Lu Chen's eyes, she was just a concubine, so things like the bridal chamber could be done or not, anyway, she had already belonged to him.
Just when Wang Qingci thought so, she suddenly found that Lu Chen, who was hugging her, seemed a little restless.
Lu Chen's chest was tightly against her jade back, and he was hugging her tightly, so she could clearly feel Lu Chen's physical condition.
This made Wang Qingci even more puzzled. This bad guy clearly wanted to do something bad to her, why didn't he move his hands or take any action?
Could he be doing this on purpose?
Could it be that he was waiting for her to take the initiative?
Or did he want to tease her?
After pondering for a moment, Wang Qingci felt that he could not wait any longer. No matter what this bad guy was thinking, the wedding night today had to be held.
Thinking of this, Wang Qingci stretched her jade hand to her back. She had to firmly control her own happiness before she could feel at ease.
At this time, Lu Chen originally planned to take a nap. He did stay up late last night, but not for women, but to deal with some performance reports submitted by various counties in the North Country in the study.
The reform of the North Country has been going on for so long, and he also wanted to see how the reform was going, so he asked officials from various counties to write some performance reports.
As for the wedding night with Wang Qingci, he did not intend to do it. After all, Wang Qingci was pregnant with his child, and he did not want to do anything to hurt his child. As a result, as soon as he closed his eyes, Wang Qingci's hands became dishonest.
Lu Chen grabbed Wang Qingci's wrist and said, "What are you doing?"
Wang Qingci asked, "My Lord, it's still early, why don't you do something else?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen instantly understood what Wang Qingci meant.
What a vixen, she couldn't help herself when he didn't touch her.
Lu Chen then turned over, framed Wang Qingci's body between his arms, and then looked down at Wang Qingci's eyes, "Master Wang, it's still broad daylight now, you actually want me to do that kind of thing, do you want to corrupt me and make me fall?"
Hearing this, Wang Qingci pretended to be aggrieved, stared into Lu Chen's eyes and said: "Is the prince tired of me? In the past, as long as the prince caught me, he would do bad things to me no matter where he was. Today is the day when I marry the prince, but the prince didn't move at all."
This...
Although Lu Chen also saw that Wang Qingci's pitiful look was acting, Lu Chen also realized that not having a wedding night on the wedding day might indeed cause Wang Qingci to have unnecessary anxiety.
So he didn't intend to hide it from Wang Qingci, and said directly: "Before we didn't have children, we could be unscrupulous. Now that we have children, we can't be as crazy as before."
When these words came out, Wang Qingci was stunned.
What? Children?
When did she and Lu Chen have a child?
