Chapter 375: Chapter 249: The Common Girl Will Definitely Ask the Prince for Advice_1
After Chu Yuqin left the study, Lu Chen yawned again.
After being busy for two days, Lu Chen was distinctly feeling weary.
This won’t do, I need to sleep for a while.
With that thought, Lu Chen left the study and said to the maid at the door, “Tell the Jinyiwei Guard on duty to have Dongfang Longyue come to my study after noon.”
“Yes, Prince.”
After instructing the maid, Lu Chen headed straight for the Spring Sound Court.
When he arrived at the Spring Sound Court, Yelv Nanyan was planning to go to the main hall. Seeing Lu Chen enter the room, Yelv Nanyan was momentarily taken aback.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “My lady is up so early?”
Yelv Nanyan gave Lu Chen a deep look. His coming to find her early in the morning probably did not bode well.
This little man, whenever he comes to Spring Sound Court, is likely to do naughty things to her.
“Your concubine has seen the Prince.”
Lu Chen, upon reaching Yelv Nanyan’s side, directly embraced her soft and warm body, as if embracing cotton.
Then, as he walked towards the bed with Yelv Nanyan in his arms, he said, “I haven’t had a good sleep these past two days, so I’ll need my lady to be my pillow.”
Yelv Nanyan said, “It is my honor to serve the Prince.”
Without further words, once they were on the bed, Yelv Nanyan began to help Lu Chen undress. Although it was just for sleeping, Yelv Nanyan knew Lu Chen’s preferences— he liked to sleep unencumbered, and without the obstruction of clothes, their bodies pressed together allowed Lu Chen to feel her warmth more directly.
Once both were lying in bed, Lu Chen held Yelv Nanyan tightly by her waist, nestled in her Gentle Jade Fragrance, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Lu Chen had fallen asleep, Yelv Nanyan looked down at him gently and raised her hand to lightly stroke his jet-black hair. Looking at Lu Chen’s handsome profile, an involuntary smile crept onto Yelv Nanyan’s face.
When she initially came to the North Prince Mansion, she had all sorts of worries, afraid that the North Prince would be someone who would treat her roughly. But now, it seemed that all her prior concerns had been unnecessary.
True, Lu Chen could be rough with her, but since he practiced Immortal Technique, her body had never felt discomfort.
Though she no longer held the same power as she did in the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, she had gained much more at the North Prince Mansion— such as the life she wanted, the happiness she longed for, things she could never have had on the grasslands.
At that moment, the sunlight crept over the windowsill, shining into the room and onto Lu Chen’s face. Lu Chen’s eyelids fluttered involuntarily. Seeing this, Yelv Nanyan immediately raised her hand to shield the direct sunlight from his eyes.
Seeing Lu Chen sleeping so soundly, Yelv Nanyan couldn’t help but wish that such days could continue forever.
Yelv Nanyan was well aware that Lu Chen’s ambitions surely extended beyond being a mere Seignior; he was bound to become Emperor one day.
If there came a day when Lu Chen became Emperor, she would have to share him with even more concubines, and whether he would still cherish her as much was uncertain.
Moreover, people change. The proverbial heart of an unfeeling Emperor… the day when Lu Chen became Emperor, his heart might undergo great changes, and whether he would still treat the Harem beauties as he did then was questionable.
These thoughts brought a tinge of anxiety into Yelv Nanyan’s heart.
Lu Chen, holding Yelv Nanyan—his soft pillow—slept through the morning. By this time, Dongfang Longyue had already arrived at Lu Chen’s study, waiting for him.
Dongfang Longyue was curious about what urgent matter the North Prince had for summoning her at this time.
However, after waiting for half an hour, Lu Chen had not appeared.
Meanwhile.
Spring Sound Court.
Although he had only slept for a few hours, Lu Chen was already feeling much less fatigued. He slowly opened his eyes and noticed Yelv Nanyan gazing tenderly at his face.
Lu Chen asked, “What time is it now?”
Yelv Nanyan replied, “It’s noon. According to the timing method you’ve invented, it should be one o’clock in the afternoon now.”
Hearing Yelv Nanyan’s reply, Lu Chen realized Dongfang Longyue was probably waiting in the study. He quickly got up from her body.
Lu Chen still appeared somewhat sleepy. Yelv Nanyan gently asked, “Would the Prince like to sleep a little longer?”
Lu Chen said, “I have an appointment to discuss matters in the study, so I’ll not sleep any longer.”
As he said this, something seemed to strike Lu Chen, and he smiled at Yelv Nanyan, “I will come to Spring Sound Court again tonight.”
Hearing this, a blush emerged on Yelv Nanyan’s face, “Your concubine will be waiting for my Prince.”
Lu Chen did not linger, getting up from the bed immediately, and Yelv Nanyan quickly helped him dress.
Before long, a refreshed Lu Chen appeared in the study.
Upon Lu Chen’s arrival, Dongfang Longyue promptly greeted him, “Commoner girl pays her respects to the Prince!”
With a smile, Lu Chen said, “Longyue, sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Dongfang Longyue replied, “I’ve only just arrived.”
Lu Chen took a seat at his desk and then said, “I’ve summoned you because I have an important assignment for you.”
Dongfang Longyue said, “Please instruct me, Prince. I will do my utmost to accomplish your assignment.”
Lu Chen said, “I plan to establish a newspaper office under the Dongfang Family.”
