Chu Yuqin thought of a way to fulfill her promise without being discovered by Chu Qingli, and immediately began to prepare.
She knew that Chu Qingli was a sensitive person, so to get her drunk, she couldn't be too direct; she needed to find a seemingly reasonable excuse.
However, before getting Chu Qingli drunk, she had to ask Lu Chen a question.
Gentle sunlight spilled in through the window, casting a bright patch on the bed.
The person sleeping soundly on the bed gradually began to wake up, and after opening his eyes, Lu Chen buried his head into the soft pillow and took a deep breath.
This pillow had a milky fragrance, quite nice indeed.
When Lu Chen got up, he saw Yelv Nanyan looking at him with a grievance on her face. He raised his hand, stroked Yelv Nanyan's cheek with a smile, and said, "Nanyan, what's with that look? Are you angry with me?"
Yelv Nanyan said, "The Prince is my darling, how could I possibly be angry?"
"Lately, the Prince seems to have an even more majestic aura, I wonder if your realm has advanced?"
As a Ninth Grade martial artist, Yelv Nanyan had vaguely perceived the increase in Lu Chen's martial prowess. With him being stronger and more vigorous than before, she suspected that his realm might have advanced.
But Lu Chen had long been a Grandmaster; if his realm had advanced further, wouldn't that make him a Grandmaster?
A seventeen-year-old Grandmaster? Yelv Nanyan dared not think so.
She had some understanding of the major dynasties and had never heard of a seventeen-year-old Grandmaster.
Hearing Yelv Nanyan's question, Lu Chen looked into her eyes with a smile and answered, "Whether my realm has advanced or not, can't you feel it yourself?"
Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Yelv Nanyan was stunned for a moment. Had Lu Chen's realm really advanced? Was he a Grandmaster?
A seventeen-year-old Grandmaster?
Yelv Nanyan's face turned red with astonishment.
No wonder Lu Chen looked more imposing and his body stronger; it turned out he had indeed broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.
It seemed that the next time Lu Chen came to the Spring Sound Court, she would have to bring Xiao Wenyao along.
But she was getting on in years, and there were some matters she was too embarrassed to mention, afraid that people would accuse her of being shameless.
Seeing Yelv Nanyan momentarily lost in thought, Lu Chen said, "Indeed, I am now a Grandmaster, Nanyan, there's no need to be surprised."
Yelv Nanyan snapped back to reality and tentatively said, "Prince, how about taking a few more concubines?"
If it had been previously, Yelv Nanyan wouldn't have said such a thing, as it was primarily the wife's affair when the Prince took concubines, and as a side concubine, she had no place to say such things.
However, she was already very familiar with Lu Chen, and wasn't as cautious as before. The environment in the Prince's Mansion was quite harmonious, it was unlikely that asking Lu Chen to take a concubine would cause the wife to trouble her.
Even when Lu Chen was still a Master, the women of the Prince's Mansion's inner courtyard could no longer satisfy his needs. Now Mu Zixuan and the other two were pregnant, and Lu Chen had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.
For Lu Chen's sake, and for the sake of the women of the inner courtyard, Lu Chen should indeed take on a few more concubines.
Hearing Yelv Nanyan's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Nanyan, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you no longer want to serve me, so you want me to take concubines, to have someone else serve me?"
As he spoke, Lu Chen reached out and lifted Yelv Nanyan's chin with his thumb and index finger, gently rubbing them together.
Yelv Nanyan said with a flushed face, "That's not what I meant. The Prince is too formidable, and I... I'm somewhat..."
Yelv Nanyan trailed off.
Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "You don't need to worry about the matter of taking concubines. When it's time to take concubines, I will naturally do so."
With that said, Lu Chen patted Yelv Nanyan's plump buttocks with his hand and continued, "If you think you can't handle it, then hurry up and get pregnant with my child, that way you won't have to worry about me coming here every day."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Yelv Nanyan was somewhat helpless. She too wanted to get pregnant with Lu Chen's child as soon as possible, but it was extraordinarily difficult for high-grade warriors to conceive.
She had been in the Prince's Mansion for so long, and Lu Chen had favored her countless times, yet she had not become pregnant, and neither had Xiao Wenyao.
At that moment, Yelv Nanyan said, "I understand, I will try my best to conceive the Prince's child."
Then, Lu Chen let go of Yelv Nanyan's body and got out of bed while Yelv Nanyan quickly got up to help Lu Chen dress.
After dressing, Lu Chen prepared to return to the main courtyard for breakfast, but just as he walked out of the Spring Sound Court, he saw a mature and beautiful woman.
Chu Yuqin was wearing a light blue long dress, with a waistband that perfectly showcased her figure. She paced back and forth at the entrance of the Spring Sound Court, looking somewhat nervous.
Lu Chen then said, "Madam Chu, are you waiting for me?"
At the sound of Lu Chen's voice, Chu Yuqin snapped out of her thoughts, her face involuntarily blushing. She looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Chen'er, I wanted to ask you about something."
Curious, Lu Chen asked, "What is it?"
Chu Yuqin inquired, "Can your Immortal Technique help sober someone up?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen paused for a moment.
