Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 13 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

Jiang Chunxi came out of the study with a flushed face, and when she returned to the courtyard where Liu Hanqing lived, there was no sign of anything unusual on her face.

"How is it? Is the prince back?" Liu Hanqing asked hurriedly when she saw Jiang Chunxi walking in from outside:

"He's back, he's back," Jiang Chunxi said as she stepped forward. "The prince just came back from outside. As soon as I saw him coming back, I hurried back to report. I guess he'll be in the backyard in a while."

"That's good," Liu Hanqing said with a smile, and then asked, "What's the prince's expression like? Does he look annoyed?"

"I didn't notice that," Jiang Chunxi said with an annoyed look, "As soon as I saw the prince enter the mansion, I immediately hurried back to report to the master, and didn't pay attention to the prince's expression at all."

Liu Hanqing didn't blame Jiang Chunxi for her poor performance, but she still felt a little dissatisfied.

And just at this moment, Xiao Chen walked in from outside.

"Xiao Lang," Liu Hanqing quickly stood up and greeted him, "You're finally back. You said you were coming back late and didn't send anyone back to tell me. You don't know how worried I was. I was afraid that something had happened to you outside."

"It's my fault," Xiao Chen smiled and took Liu Hanqing's hand and sat on the couch, not looking at Jiang Chunxi. "If I encounter such a situation again in the future, I will send someone back to inform you, so that you don't have any wild thoughts or worries."

"Cuckoo!"

Just as Xiao Chen finished his words, Liu Hanqing's stomach growled very loudly, which made Liu Hanqing's face turn red quickly. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned at first, then he smiled indulgently: "It's all my fault. I made my wife wait for me with an empty stomach. I really deserve to be punished."

"Xiao Lang," Liu Hanqing said coquettishly, "please stop teasing me, or I will be too embarrassed to face you."

"How could I make you laugh?" Xiao Chen said helplessly, "You waited for me to come back hungry, I was so touched that I didn't have time to make you laugh."

"Okay, let's go eat!" Xiao Chen said as he took Liu Hanqing's hand and got up from the couch. "You know, I'm very hungry too."

Although he had already eaten outside, in order not to make Liu Hanqing more embarrassed, he had no choice but to accompany her and pretend that he had not had dinner yet.

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Liu Hanqing felt much better. After all, she was not the only one who was hungry. Xiao Chen was the same as her, so she was naturally not so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Liu Hanqing had a good appetite to begin with because her stomach was stretched, and she was extremely hungry tonight, so she ate even more.

Anyway, Xiao Chen was shocked in his heart. He looked at Liu Hanqing's fat body with a dark look in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel worried. If Liu Hanqing continued to eat like this, he didn't know how fat she would become.

However, although he was worried, Xiao Chen had no intention of persuading Liu Hanqing.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Liu Hanqing would think too much and feel that he disliked her. Although he did dislike her a little deep down in his heart, he couldn't let Liu Hanqing know.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Liu Hanqing would take good care of her body. After all, as a man, who doesn't want offspring? No matter how much he loved Liu Hanqing, he couldn't say that he didn't care about offspring. For Liu Hanqing, he didn't even care about offspring.

After the two finished their dinner, they went outside hand in hand to digest the food.

"Xiao Lang, I see that you seem to be much more relaxed today. Have you dealt with the difficult official business?" Liu Hanqing asked with a smile:

As his partner, Liu Hanqing naturally noticed that Xiao Chen was in a good mood at the moment, and no longer seemed to be holding back some anger like before.

"Well! It's all resolved," Xiao Chen said, "It's finally resolved, and I feel relieved. Otherwise, if it had taken a few more days to resolve the issue, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control my anger."

"Hmph!" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, "Those old guys in the Ministry of War think that by making things difficult for me, they can make me compromise with them. They don't even look at who I am. The emperor trusts me and transferred me to the Ministry of War. How could I possibly fail the emperor's trust? Just wait and see! Within a year, I will definitely clear out those old guys in the Ministry of War and keep the Ministry of War firmly in my hands."

If the Ministry of War is controlled by him, it is equivalent to controlling it in the hands of the emperor.

The current emperor is the fifth prince of the late emperor, and Xiao Chen, as the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, was chosen by the late emperor to be the fifth prince's companion since he was a child.

You can say that! The Fifth Prince was able to defeat all the other princes and successfully ascend the throne, largely due to the support of the Duke's Mansion. After all, Xiao Chen's father was a Duke who held military power.

However, after the fifth prince ascended the throne, the Duke handed over his military power and stepped down. Although serving the emperor could bring great benefits, one also had to fear that the emperor would abandon him.

Therefore, it would be better to hand over the military power without hesitation. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion will depend on his son Xiao Chen next. Therefore, if the Duke hands over the military power without hesitation, Xiao Chen will naturally be more valued by the Emperor.

The Duke's move was absolutely correct. The Emperor already trusted Xiao Chen, and after the Duke handed over his military power, the Emperor trusted Xiao Chen even more.

Liu Hanqing looked at Xiao Chen with admiration: "I believe in Xiao Lang's ability. Xiao Lang will definitely get what he wants."

"Then I'll accept Madam's good words," Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Well, it's getting late, let's quickly take a bath and get ready for bed!"

Xiao Chen gave Liu Hanqing a knowing look.

"Xiao Lang..." Liu Hanqing blushed shyly, "Why are you so mean? I'm ignoring you."

"That won't do," Xiao Chen hugged Liu Hanqing, "If Madam ignores me, I will be heartbroken."
