Now that Lu Chen had obtained such crops, he would definitely have the land reclaimed for fanning. Considering this, no matter how many workers the North Prince Mansion recruited, there was currently no need to worry about not having a place to arrange them.

With this in mind, Mu Zixuan said, “This concubine understands. I will continue to recruit workers tomorrow.”

After the topic ended, they chatted about some household matters while eating.

Once dinner was finished, Dazhou and Xiaozhou took the children and left.

After dinner, it was time for Lu Chen to bathe, and as for whose room Lu Chen would visit after the bath, that was entirely up to his mood and did not require any deliberate arrangement.

Lu Chen usually spread his attention evenly, and even though he had been visiting Yelv Nanyan every day recently, Mu Zixuan and the others were not at all worried that he would stop visiting them because of his favoritism for Yelv Nanyan.

Any woman who knew Lu Chen was aware that Yelv Nanyan alone couldn’t withstand Lu Chen’s passion, even if she was a Martial Artist.

Bai Qingqing and Wang Qingci were Martial Artists too, yet every time the duty of attending to him in bed was mentioned, they could not help trembling. Yelv Nanyan was already in her thirties; she could not hold up.

Lu Chen did not go to Yelv Nanyan’s room tonight. After his bath, he came out of his room and happened to see Mu Zixuan taking care of the child.

Lu Chen approached Mu Zixuan and, observing Lu Changfeng in her arms, said with a fatherly smile, “Feng’er, tonight Daddy is going to compete with you for Mother’s attention again and even for the food. You won’t be angry with Daddy, will you?”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan, who was coaxing the child, looked up at Lu Chen with a grievance in her eyes, “Prince, what are you saying? Feng’er is still young; he cannot understand these things.”

Lu Chen raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Mu Zixuan’s waist, then chuckled, “I’m not only speaking to Feng’er. What do you think, my consort?”

Hearing what Lu Chen had said, a blush appeared on Mu Zixuan’s face. The implication of Lu Chen’s words was that he intended to spend the night here. As one of Lu Chen’s women, how could she not understand?

At this moment, Lu Chen glanced out of the window at the night sky and then continued, “My consort, it’s late. Let’s send Feng’er to sleep, and we can talk about other matters.”

With a hum in agreement from Mu Zixuan, she called the wet nurse to take the child to the next room.

After the wet nurse left, Lu Chen stood behind Mu Zixuan, hugged her slender waist tightly, and pressed against her back, whispering in her ear, “My consort, I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Seeing that Lu Chen was interested in her but did not take immediate action, instead saying that he had something to discuss, Mu Zixuan’s curiosity was piqued.

With the atmosphere as it was, what could there possibly be to discuss at this time?

Mu Zixuan then asked curiously, “Prince, what is it that you want to talk about?”

Lu Chen leaned in close to Mu Zixuan’s ear and breathed into it, speaking in a low, magnetic voice, “I feel that Feng’er is too lonely by himself; he should have another brother or sister.”

This…

If one were to be realistic, Lu Changfeng could never be lonely. After all, there were Dazhou and Xiaozhou’s children in the Prince’s Mansion, with Lu Huanhuan and Lu Changsheng both being his siblings.

Furthermore, Mu Zixuan had a sisterly relationship with Dazhou and Xiaozhou, and they all got along very well, spending every day together. When Lu Changfeng grew up, he would certainly not be lonely.

Besides, in the royal family, having too many brothers and sisters wasn’t always a good thing.

But Mu Zixuan quickly realized that Lu Chen was not at all concerned about Lu Changfeng being lonely; he clearly wanted her to bear another child.

In other words, Lu Chen was speaking words of affection to her.

She thought to herself, how could Lu Chen still be in the mood to discuss such matters at this time? This was nothing serious at all.

Suddenly, Mu Zixuan, with her face flushed, said, “Prince, whatever number of children you wish for me to bear, I have no objections.”

Upon hearing Mu Zixuan’s response, Lu Chen’s hand moved to the sash around Mu Zixuan’s waist, and, while he untied it, he walked towards the bed.

“Since my consort has agreed, let us not waste any more time.”

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Mu Zixuan felt completely weak, letting Lu Chen have his way with her.

[Host and Mu Zixuan cultivated their relationship once – Qi Refinement Mantra experience value increased by 40, Rejuvenating Skill experience value increased by 40, Dragon-Phoenix Yin-Yang Spell experience value increased by 40.]

[Congratulations, Host has made Mu Zixuan pregnant – awarded with an advanced explosive formula and the technology to manufacture red artillery.]

[The pregnancy reward is an encouragement award. Please make an effort to ensure the child’s birth, as the child’s birth will lead to even richer rewards.]

Seeing the system notification in front of him, Lu Chen did not feel surprised at all.

Ordinary women are indeed different from Martial Artists. For ordinary women, as long as he wishes to make them pregnant, they can easily conceive his children.

Lu Chen was surprised that the system rewarded him with the formula for gunpowder and the technology to produce red-coated cannons.

Previously, the weapons that the system had rewarded were given by the system itself, such as grenades, Barretts, and 122mm howitzers.

Though these modern weapons were handy, there was one significant issue: ammunition and shells were limited. Once they were used up, there were none left except for waiting for the system to reward him again.

Especially the howitzers—if he ran out of ammunition, all he could do was let them gather dust in a cave.

But having the formula for gunpowder and the technology to produce red- coated cannons changed everything. Even though homemade red-coated cannons surely weren’t as effective as the 122mm howitzers rewarded by the system, shells could be produced without limitation in this world.

With the gunpowder formula, from now on, he could manufacture as many shells as he wanted, and even simple explosives were usable.

With gunpowder, he had the confidence.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan was lying in Lu Chen’s arms, her fair arms wrapped around his neck. Seeing Lu Chen stroking his belly and seemingly deep in thought, she asked, “Prince, what are you thinking about?”

Lu Chen had just used the Rejuvenating Skill to help Mu Zixuan recover, and now she was much more spirited, without the weariness that followed intercourse.

Lu Chen said directly, “Consort, you’re pregnant with my child again.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was startled.

It wasn’t that she minded carrying her husband’s child; it just seemed too soon to her. Not long ago, Lu Chen had expressed his desire for her to bear another child, and now, just two hours later, she was pregnant?

Of course, Mu Zixuan never doubted Lu Chen’s words. After all, Lu Chen was an immortal who knew the Immortal Law and could easily check her condition.

Then Mu Zixuan asked, “Prince, are you telling the truth?”

As Lu Chen caressed Mu Zixuan’s beautiful cheek, he smiled and said, “Of course it’s true, my love. You will have to endure another year’s hard work.”

Resting on Lu Chen’s broad chest, Mu Zixuan tenderly said, “Giving birth to children for the Prince is my duty. It’s not a hardship.”

As Lu Chen stroked Mu Zixuan’s hair and comforted her, the two of them soon fell asleep.

The next morning.

After getting up and having breakfast, Lu Chen went straight to the study.

Once in the study, he immediately sent for Qin Yushan, Wenren Lie, and Xuanyuan Chen to come.

As the Commander of the Brocade Guard, Qin Yushan spent most of his time near the Prince’s Mansion and arrived quickly. Soon after, he appeared in Lu Chen’s study.

Upon entering the study, Qin Yushan first paid his respects.

“Greetings, Prince.”

Then Qin Yushan asked,

“Prince, you wanted to see me?”

Lu Chen did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Commander Qin, I am entrusting you with a very important task.”

Hearing this, Qin Yushan was taken aback.

For the North Prince to use the words “very important,” it suggested that the matter held significant weight in the North Prince’s heart.

Qin Yushan immediately said, “Please instruct me, Prince. Even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I shall not shirk death and will spare no effort to complete the task you assign to me.”

Lu Chen, somewhat speechless, said, “There is no need for a mountain of swords or a sea of flames. I simply need you to call back a thousand Brocade Guards to help me supervise the production of a type of weapon.”

Hearing this, Qin Yushan’s first thought was the howitzers. Carefully, he asked, “Prince, could it be the howitzers?”

Lu Chen replied, “It’s not the howitzers, but it is similar and also a weapon with immense destructive power. The principles behind it are not so different.”

“Naturally, the method to produce this weapon is also simpler.”

The reason Lu Chen wanted the Brocade Guard to supervise the production of gunpowder and red-coated cannons was that he was worried about the technologies leaking out.

The Brocade Guards were summoned through the system and were his steadfast loyalists; they would never betray him. Having them oversee the production was the only way for Lu Chen to feel assured.
