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

Hearing the voice of the maid outside, Lu Chen immediately said, "Bring it in, for my beloved concubine to change clothes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The next moment, several maids entered Jinluan Hall and saw the scene above the Phoenix Chair; their faces immediately flushed with redness.

Their little faces were blushing, and their hearts pounded.

Lu Chen then stood up and lifted Li Qingrou as well, positioning her beside the Phoenix Chair so the maids could change her clothes.

Seeing that Lu Chen wanted her to wear the Phoenix Robe, Li Qingrou immediately guessed what that scoundrel was up to again.

After spending this period of time together, she had fully grasped this man's nature; once she put on the Phoenix Robe, he would surely go mad, and she would inevitably be tormented to death by him.

The Phoenix Robe she wore was not like the one the Empress wore but a specially made one for her, also a symbol of imperial power.

When she wore the Phoenix Robe, her entire demeanor became dignified and authoritative, and it seemed that Lu Chen especially enjoyed having such a version of her under him, satisfying his desire for conquest.

At that moment, Li Qingrou coldly said, "What are you doing? We've just..."

Li Qingrou didn't continue; she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She seriously doubted what kind of beast this guy was reincarnated from; how could he have such robust energy every day? It didn't resemble that of a cultivator at all.

Now she even wondered if Lu Chen was some kind of Demonic Cultivator.

However, thinking back, when Lu Chen was with her, she never felt any discomfort, which meant he was not a Demonic Cultivator.

Since he was not a Demonic Cultivator, why did he engage in those activities every day? Ever since that guy captured her, she felt her stomach swell a little every day, as if she had a false pregnant belly.

Li Qingrou now simply wished for Lu Chen to return to Yan County soon. Once back in Yan County, with the multitude of consorts in Lu Chen's harem, this scoundrel would not target her alone anymore.

But those were future concerns. For now, Li Qingrou was thinking about how to prevent Lu Chen from tormenting her further. The maids were already changing her into the Phoenix Robe; who knows how vicious he would be later.

With a slight smile, Lu Chen said, "Tomorrow, we will leave this place, leave this place you are most familiar with. This is where you used to attend the court. Naturally, I want to leave you with the most beautiful memories."

Li Qingrou replied coldly, "I don't need those memories."

What bloody beautiful memories, this guy merely wanted to ravish her.

With a smile on his face, Lu Chen said, "That's not for you to decide."

With that said, he glanced at the maids in the hall and then said, "Dress her in the Phoenix Robe."

Just as Li Qingrou was about to struggle, Lu Chen suddenly whispered in her ear, "Today, I can let you be the Empress for once!"

Li Qingrou was stunned for a moment. Empress?

What did he mean?

Wasn't her original identity that of the Empress? Why would she need Lu Chen's permission to be the Empress?

Noticing that Li Qingrou had not understood his meaning, Lu Chen continued, "I know you've been having a thought recently, wanting to turn the tables and be in charge. Today is our last day in the Jinluan Hall. I can give you this opportunity. If you don't seize it, when we return to Yan County, you won't have such a chance again."

Once Lu Chen explained, Li Qingrou realized what he meant. The thought of turning the tables, having this scoundrel underneath her, and showcasing her status and identity, Li Qingrou was somewhat tempted.

She had been humiliated by this scoundrel so many times, she had long wanted to turn the tables and take charge, but unfortunately, her Spiritual Power had been sealed by Lu Chen, and she did not possess strength comparable to his. She had no way to reverse the situation and was only relegated to being repressed by him.

If what Lu Chen said was true, then she...

With that thought, Li Qianrou hesitated. Though she was turning the tables and calling the shots, fundamentally, it was still the same old story, but at least this was better than being passive.

Passivity always made her feel like nothing more than a container.

After a moment, Li Qianrou finally spoke, "I hope you keep your promise!"

Then, with arms spread wide, Li Qianrou allowed her maids to dress her in the Phoenix Robe.

Soon, Li Qianrou was clad in the Phoenix Robe, sewn with golden threads, splendid and majestic. Dressed in the Phoenix Robe, Li Qianrou appeared dignified and noble.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Chen felt a surge of rage inside him. Without waiting for Li Qianrou to say anything, Lu Chen pressed her down onto the Phoenix Chair.

Seeing that he knocked her over again, Li Qianrou immediately said, "Indeed, a hypocrite; the promise you just made has already been broken."

Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Broken my promise? No, no, no, I certainly have not."

"Since I said I would give you a chance to be Empress, I certainly will give you that chance."

"But, before that, let me finish my own business first."

As his words fell, Lu Chen grabbed Li Qianrou's slender jade feet and lifted them up.

A fierce glint flashed in Li Qianrou's eyes, a look that seemed ready to stab Lu Chen.

However, the hatred in Li Qianrou's heart soon dissipated, and she became immersed in the pleasure crafted by Lu Chen.

Of course, in the end, Lu Chen did keep his promise; after all, he was the ruler of a country and couldn't always go back on his word.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Lu Chen, embracing Li Qianrou's body, rolled over so that he was beneath her.

At this sight, Li Qianrou snapped back to reality, having thought this man had no intention of keeping his promise. But unexpectedly, he had.

Now, Li Qianrou sat atop Lu Chen, looking down with authority at the man who had taken everything from her.

This feeling, it thoroughly delighted Li Qianrou's heart. This man might be formidable, but in the end, she had overpowered him.

But...

Li Qianrou quickly realized a problem: although she felt incredibly satisfied, she wasn't actually happy.

This was not surprising; who was Lu Chen? With so many wives and concubines in his harem, he could be considered an expert.

In the past, Li Qianrou had focused solely on her spiritual practice, Lu Chen being the only man in her life, leaving her without much experience.

Li Qianrou was accustomed to delicacies; suddenly having to make do with wild vegetables and roots, she quickly found them hard to stomach. But then a thought struck her. She looked coldly at the smiling Lu Chen and, with a commanding tone, said, "I command you, use every means to please me!"

In his heart, Lu Chen chuckled. This person must regard him as a male concubine internally.

Even if she considered him a male concubine in her heart, he wasn't upset; he had just said he would let Li Qianrou be Empress for once.

Immediately after, Lu Chen responded, "As you command, Your Majesty!"

Then Lu Chen actively served Li Qianrou, until dawn.

In the early morning, with the sky still a dim grey light, Lu Chen led the Daxia Army on the road back to Yan County.
