Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan glanced at Bai Qingqing and realized that she seemed unwilling to marry Lu Chen.

However, he didn't care about this. Even if Bai Qingqing didn't want to, she still had to marry him.

Why has the Zhennan Prince's Mansion provided Bai Qingqing with so many cultivation resources over the years, nurturing her to the mid-stage of the Human Realm? It's all for the purpose of making her an important woman by Lu Chen's side.

In this era, women didn't have many choices.

The Prince of Zhennan asked, "Little Bai, are you willing to marry Chen'er?"

Even though he knew Bai Qingqing was unwilling to marry, the Prince of Zhennan still asked her. He wasn't asking Bai Qingqing directly, but rather seeking a clear answer from her.

Bai Qingqing didn't struggle much internally. She did dislike Lu Chen, this cowardly and spoiled brat, but she had the kindness of the Prince of Zhennan in raising her, and now that the Prince of Zhennan was about to die, it was time for her to repay the Prince of Zhennan's family.

Besides, she didn't value relationships that much, and she had long been prepared to never marry, so even if she married Lu Chen, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her; it would just mean sleeping with Lu Chen.

She believed that once Lu Chen regained his memory, he would definitely regret his decision today. Perhaps before she even had to say anything, the first thing Lu Chen would do after regaining his memory would be to immediately ask her to stop being active.

Lu Chen used to be most afraid of strange and evil spirits, and spiritual warriors need to deal with strange and evil spirits all the time if they want to become stronger, which is why Lu Chen was so afraid of her.

In the past, Lu Chen would not even dare to touch her body, let alone see her, and would make her stay away from him. If Lu Chen regained his memories, he probably wouldn't even dare to talk to her, let alone sleep with her.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing said directly, "Your Majesty, I grew up in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion since I was a child. You saved my life. If it weren't for you and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, I would have died long ago."

"I was born a member of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and I will die a member of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I will definitely take good care of the Crown Prince for Your Majesty. If the Crown Prince thinks highly of me, I am also willing to continue the bloodline of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Upon hearing Bai Qingqing's reply, the Prince of Zhennan said with satisfaction, "In that case, from now on, I entrust Chen'er to you."

At this moment, Lu Chen thought of something and immediately said to the Prince of Zhennan, "Father, I will marry Sister Bai tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhennan was taken aback for a moment, and then a trace of relief appeared in his aged eyes. In his opinion, Lu Chen was in such a hurry to marry Bai Qingqing because he wanted him to witness his marriage before he died.

Bai Qingqing was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Lu Chen to be in such a hurry. However, she quickly realized that she shared the same thought as the Prince of Zhennan. She also felt that Lu Chen was marrying her so quickly so that the Prince of Zhennan could see him get married and have no regrets.

In fact, Lu Chen did want the Prince of Zhennan to die without regrets, but the reason he proposed to marry Bai Qingqing so quickly was mainly to get the reward as soon as possible. Moreover, he knew very well that once the Prince of Zhennan passed away, he might have to observe mourning for the Prince of Zhennan for the next few years, during which time he would not be able to get married. In that case, how could he get the system reward?

Therefore, he must take advantage of the fact that the Prince of Zhennan is still alive to get married as soon as possible, obtain the reward from the system, and verify whether the system is really useful.

After regaining his senses, the Prince of Zhennan looked at Bai Qingqing and asked, "Little Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Qingqing immediately replied, "I will do as Your Highness says."

The Prince of Zhennan then said to the steward, "Alright, then you can go and prepare now."

The steward replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In no time, everyone in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion began preparations. In less than half a day, the entire mansion was filled with joy, with red decorations and the character for "happiness" everywhere.

Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is now in decline, it is still the only non-royal prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its movements quickly attracted the attention of various forces.

Princess's Residence. Ji Yunmeng sat cross-legged on a soft couch, refining spiritual energy. Before her lay the corpse of a demon wearing a mask. The demon wore a human-faced mask, but its body was that of an animal, and its corpse was emanating a strong spiritual aura.

Ji Yunmeng absorbed this spiritual energy into her body to temper her physical form; this is the cultivation method of a spiritual martial artist.

As the spiritual energy on the evil corpse diminished, Ji Yunmeng slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, a maid entered the hall. Seeing that Ji Yunmeng was cultivating, the maid sensibly stood aside and did not disturb her.

Ji Yunmeng asked directly, "What is it?"

The maid then reported, "After the Prince of Zhennan returned to the manor, the Zhennan Prince's manor was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and red 'double happiness' characters were pasted everywhere. It seems that the Prince of Zhennan is getting married."

Upon hearing the maid's report, Ji Yunmeng was slightly taken aback.

marriage?

The Prince of Zhennan has just lost his memory and has only just returned to the Prince of Zhennan's residence. Is he already getting married so soon?
Ji Yunmeng quickly understood what was going on. It seemed that the Prince of Zhennan was indeed on his deathbed, but he wanted to see Lu Chen get married before he died, which was why he was in such a hurry.

Otherwise, even nobles and royalty would choose an auspicious day to take a concubine; they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Ji Yunmeng said, "Go and find out when the Prince of Zhennan will get married, and which family's daughter he will marry."

Since the Prince of Zhennan's mansion has already started to decorate with lanterns and colorful decorations, it means that Lu Chen will probably get married to someone in the next few days.

Ji Yunmeng planned to win over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, so she naturally had to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Zhennan Prince's heir's marriage.

As Ji Yunmeng finished speaking, the maid who had reported was about to leave when Xiao Qi entered the main hall.

"Your Highness, a marriage invitation has been sent from the Prince of Zhennan's residence."

Hearing this, Ji Yunmeng was somewhat surprised. She was just about to have someone inquire about who Lu Chen was going to marry, but she didn't expect the other party to send a wedding invitation so quickly.

The wedding invitation naturally listed the person Lu Chen was marrying and the date of their marriage. With a wave of her hand, Ji Yunmeng sent the wedding invitation from Xiao Qi directly into Ji Yunmeng's hand.

Ji Yunmeng then opened the wedding invitation and glanced at its contents. She wasn't too surprised by what she saw.

When Prince Zhennan brought Bai Qingqing back to his mansion and nurtured her with various resources, people already guessed what Prince Zhennan was thinking. Therefore, it was expected that Bai Qingqing would marry Lu Chen.

However, Lu Chen only returned to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion today, and he is getting married tomorrow. It seems that he didn't even consult anyone to calculate an auspicious date. This is too hasty, which also shows that the Zhennan Prince is probably really not up to the task.

It seems that if we want to win over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, we need to put some effort into the matter of extending the Zhennan Prince's lifespan with our congratulatory gifts.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yun thought to herself and said to Xiao Qi, "I remember that the Wang family recently obtained a Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng ask her this question at this moment, Xiao Qi instantly understood what Ji Yunmeng meant. She then said, "Yes, Your Highness, how about I go to the Wang family now and get the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit?"

Ji Yunmeng said calmly, "Go."

The Wang family had long since secretly submitted to Ji Yunmeng. Although the Heavenly Soul Guardian Fruit was precious, capable of suppressing spiritual evil and prolonging the lifespan of spiritual warriors, the Wang family would naturally offer it up if Ji Yunmeng desired it. (End of Chapter)
