Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

At this point, Lu Chen glanced at Wu Junwan's personal profile.

[Name: Wu Junwan]

[Identity: Princess Wu of Great Wu, daughter of the Martial Emperor, friend of the Empress of Great Jue, target of the North Prince's interest from North Country. She is 30 years old this year and has reached the Master Realm.

Her visit to North Country is to stir up trouble between North Country and the Great Sum court, but deep down she also wants to see the North Prince, to find out what is so special about him that attracts so many people to North Country. Now she is even more interested in the North Prince.]

[Rating: 98]

[Favorability: 85]

Seeing Wu Junwan's favorability towards him, Lu Chen thought that it wouldn't be long before her favorability could be raised to 100.

At this moment, Wu Junwan, upon hearing what Lu Chen had said, responded indifferently, "The North Prince really knows how to joke. I don't think the North Prince would meet with me alone for that reason."

What Wu Junwan was thinking was that with so many women in Lu Chen's harem, even if he found her beautiful, he wouldn't just straightforwardly ask to meet her. After all, she was the esteemed Princess of Great Wu, and she also held actual power. Lu Chen should know that it was impossible for them to be together.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "The Princess might be overthinking it. The reason I asked to meet with the Princess is indeed because I'm afraid that if too much time passes without seeing the Princess, I will miss you terribly, which is why I wanted to meet the Princess for one last time."

As his words fell, Lu Chen's deep eyes stared intently at Wu Junwan.

Hearing Lu Chen's words and seeing the affectionate look in his eyes, Wu Junwan was immediately stunned.

Is this for real?

Does this young man truly have feelings for her?

Wu Junwan bluntly said, "Unfortunately, the Princess and the North Prince are doomed not to be involved. Not only are we not involved, but we may also end up as enemies. I hope that one day we will not meet on the battlefield."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Indeed, we will not meet on the battlefield because the Princess will sooner or later get married into the North Prince Mansion. I hope the Princess can wait for me for a few more years after returning to Great Wu."

Seeing Lu Chen's confidence, Wu Junwan not only was not angry but actually scoffed, "Hmph, the North Prince is really confident. Does the North Prince really think my father, the Emperor, would marry me off to someone who poses such a great threat to Great Wu?"

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, "Nothing is impossible. As long as North Country is strong enough, all is possible."

Wu Junwan said, "Then I will wait in Great Wu. If one day my father really does such a thing, I will have no objections and will come straight to North Country to be your woman."

"It's just that by that time, I'm afraid I will have grown old and lost my looks, and the North Prince won't care for me anymore."

Lu Chen said, "That will not happen. With the Princess's martial arts talent, you might be able to break through to the Grandmaster Realm soon, and the Princess's beauty will remain for decades."

"And what I like the most is a mature and dignified woman like the Princess. The older the age, the more charming they are."

Upon hearing these words from Lu Chen, Wu Junwan understood that this young man was indeed not joking with her; he was blatantly making a move on her, wanting her as a person.

Wu Junwan didn't plan on wasting any more words with Lu Chen. In her heart, she acknowledged that Lu Chen was indeed very handsome and to her liking, but she was very clear about their stances.

She is someone who aspires to be Empress like her good friend, how could she let such a romance hinder her path? Her stance determined that she and Lu Chen would likely only become enemies in the future, and they would probably only meet on the battlefield, at last.

Moreover, she had great confidence in herself. With the power she held in the Great Wu dynasty, the Martial Emperor would simply not consider marrying her off to the North Prince.

This young man is somewhat delusional.

Then, Wu Junwan stood up and said directly, "The North Prince will need to put in a lot more effort if you want me to be your woman."

"Since the North Prince has nothing else, I will be returning to Great Wu. I just hope the next time we meet, it won't be on the battlefield."

Immediately, Wu Junwan turned and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Watching her swaying hips, Lu Chen smiled lightly, thinking that of course, it wouldn't be on the battlefield. The next time they met, it could only be in bed.

To make the Martial Emperor willingly marry off Wu Junwan to him, Lu Chen thought it was not difficult at all. The Emperor was a rather traditional ruler, and Great Wu was a traditional dynasty. In time, the Emperor would naturally look for ways to clip Wu Junwan's wings.

If one day North Country grows strong enough to intimidate the major dynasties, then Lu Chen could directly propose a marriage alliance to Great Wu. By then, those in Great Wu who opposed Wu Junwan would do everything to send her to North Country, and the Emperor might use this opportunity to completely erase Wu Junwan's aspiration to become Empress.

Of course, North Country could not remain idle. Now that the trade agreement has been signed, North Country's merchants would be able to enter Great Wu. North Country could then make good use of the power of money to turn Great Wu's officials against Wu Junwan's administration.

At that moment, Lu Chen murmured to himself, "It's so simple to be an Empress. Just come to my room, and I'll let you be Empress every day."

Lu Chen's voice was quite low, and Wu Junwan, who was already far away, naturally could not hear it anymore.
