The world has gone mad; the movie queen's rebirth mission is to have children.

Chapter 287 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 17

It's outrageous that a princess can enjoy exclusive favor!

"Your Highness, Li Ping invites you to join her for dinner!"

The girl in Zhuo Yucheng's arms had eyes full of spring, her gaze shimmering. How could he bear to leave her? He wished he could die in her arms.

"Going back and forth? No time!"

Mu Wanwan nudged him, then sat up and straightened her clothes.

"Yucheng, you've been staying in my room for days. Those concubines are probably jealous. You should go."

As a princess, being magnanimous and tolerant is a very good quality, but now he just feels uncomfortable.

Can I not go?

Mu Wanwan remained silent, pulled him up from his seat, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and then nudged him from behind.

Zhuo Yucheng sighed and left in a very unpleasant mood.

Zhuo Yucheng's arrival made Liping's room feel like it was New Year's Day, with servants busy inside and out.

He wasn't in a good mood, his face was tense, as if someone owed him a fortune.

Li Ping sat down beside him. She was dressed in full regalia for his arrival, and had practiced her every smile and gesture in front of the mirror countless times beforehand, hoping to keep him there for a few more days.

"Your Highness, please try this! This is a dish I personally prepared in the small kitchen. Please see if it suits your taste?"

She used serving chopsticks to put the food into his bowl, waiting for his feedback.

Lost in thought, he didn't hear what she was saying. He subconsciously put the food in his mouth, but the burning sensation on his tongue made him spit it out.

Li Ping quickly handed over the water, "Your Highness, it's my fault!"

He abruptly stood up and knocked over Li Ping's water, shouting, "Li Ping, are you trying to scald me to death?"

It was a perfectly good meal, but the prince got angry just because the food was hot. Why did he get so angry?

Li Ping couldn't understand it, but under the prince's authority, she had no choice but to kneel down and apologize to him. As he was about to leave, Li Ping grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, please don't leave!"

He looked at the woman with a pitiful expression, but showed no sympathy whatsoever.

"Your Highness, you've just arrived, please don't leave!"

He angrily waved his sleeve, then gave a look to his servants, and in an instant, Li Ping was dragged away.

"Eat it yourself!"

After everyone left, Li Ping felt wronged and tears streamed down her face.

In the past, the prince would not have taken his anger out on others over such trivial matters, so why is he doing so now?

It must be her! Ever since she entered the manor, the prince has never spent the night in the rooms of his three concubines.

She must have used some seductive tricks. Her fists were clenched tightly at her sides, and her knuckles cracked.

"Your Highness, where will you be staying tonight?"

Zhuo Yucheng paused, his tone unfriendly, "What do you think? Do you even need to ask?"

The attendant immediately shut up, waved to the person next to him, and soon Mu Wanwan, who was having her meal, stared in astonishment at Zhuo Yucheng walking in from outside.

"You... how did you get here?"

Aunt Mei, with her keen eye, helped to add more bowls and chopsticks, and then called all the servants in the house out.

"Having gotten used to the food prepared in your small kitchen, I find it hard to swallow other people's food, so you have to take responsibility."

After saying that, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily without any hesitation.

This man clearly went to Liping's room, and now he's come back. Liping probably doesn't know what he's saying behind her back.

She sighed and continued eating.

Zhuo Yucheng naturally knew what she was worried about. "To be honest, I don't want to go there. I don't want anyone else but you!"

The sudden confession made her pause with her chopsticks. "Eat your food properly. Figure out how to appease Liping yourself."

A piece of green vegetable fell into his bowl. "It's a fact that you have concubines in your backyard. You favored me well even before I entered the manor. If they become distrustful of you because of me, I would be guilty of a great sin."

Zhuo Yucheng hesitated for a moment, then put down his chopsticks. "Then I'll go sleep there tonight. Are you at ease now?"

Mu Wanwan wished he would immediately kick those three out of the manor, so how could she possibly want him to spend the night in someone else's room?

After seeing Zhuo Yucheng off again, Mu Wanwan's tears flowed down her cheeks involuntarily.

"Your Highness, why are you pushing him away like this?"

She wiped away her uncontrollable tears and pretended to be strong, "Aunt Mei, I didn't want this either."

After Zhuo Yucheng returned, Li Ping's unpleasantness during the meal vanished, and she secretly went in to burn incense and take a bath.

She appeared behind Zhuo Yucheng, dressed in a sheer veil, her figure graceful.

He had never asked anyone to serve him when he bathed before. Since Mu Wanwan had served him when he returned from his trip last time, she thought that it shouldn't be a problem for her to serve him this time.

If he says it wasn't her, how could he not be angry?

"Who let you in? Get out!"

Li Ping stood there trembling. Before she could even step into the bathtub, Zhuo Yucheng yelled at her to leave.

"Your Highness, I... I just wanted to help you take a bath!"

"Go away~"

He wouldn't listen to her explanation and insisted on kicking her out.

Li Ping, who was waiting anxiously in the room, was pacing back and forth. When Zhuo Yucheng pushed the door open and entered the room, she quickly apologized.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry! I... I just..."

Zhuo Yucheng raised his hand, not wanting to hear her speak, and said, "Go and light the incense."

"Yes!"

Zhuo Yucheng always needed incense before sex, and all the candles had to be blown out before they could even begin.

Li Ping made thorough preparations for tonight, including preparing many small tools without breaking the rules.

As she tentatively introduced it to him, he remained silent the entire time.

As intimate sounds filled the room, Zhuo Yucheng stood outside the door and said to his personal guard, "Acting is exhausting! Keep watch outside and remind him not to oversleep and give himself away!"

Zhuo Yucheng slowly sat down on the edge of Mu Wanwan's bed and carefully examined her sleeping face by the dim candlelight.

Her face still had wet tears, and his heart softened.

His voice was low, "You pushed me out, but secretly shed tears yourself. What am I supposed to do with you?"

"Ding! Affection level increased by 5, currently at 40!"

Her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly opened her eyes after Zhuo Yucheng lay down beside her.

How is this going?

Shouldn't he be in Liping's room right now? Why is he in his own room?

"Piggy?"

"Master, the man sleeping with Liping is not Zhuo Yucheng at all!"

Although Mu Wanwan had already guessed the general idea, her heart was pounding.

"who is it?"

Whoever it is, this person is definitely in cahoots with Zhuo Yucheng.

"Master, he is Zhuo Yucheng's confidant. Every night before they make love, incense is burned in the room. This incense can not only confuse a woman's mind, but can even make her infertile."

Zhuo Yucheng had someone else consummate the marriage on his behalf; perhaps that's why he's never had children.
