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

Dongfang Longyue entered the inner court of the new North Prince Mansion, her gaze constantly surveying the entire inner court. Initially, Dongfang Longyue thought that upon entering the inner court of the Prince's Mansion, she would feel particularly oppressed.

Contrary to her expectations, after she entered the Prince's Mansion, she didn't experience that oppressive feeling.

The new Prince's Mansion had fewer residents than the Dongfang Family, but it was much larger than the entire Dongfang Family complex. The Dongfang Family had built their houses in Sufeng City with their own funds, and she had thought the Dongfang Family's compound was already luxurious. Now, compared to the new Prince's Mansion, their compound was nothing.

Even the inner court of the Prince's Mansion was very spacious, to the extent driving a carriage inside was no problem at all.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan said to Dongfang Longyue with a smile, "Sister Dongfang, from now on you will live in this courtyard."

As Mu Zixuan's words fell, Dongfang Longyue stood at the entrance of the courtyard and swept a glance over it. There were pavilions and towers, small bridges over flowing water, and everything was serene and elegant. It was bigger than the courtyard she had lived in at the Dongfang Family, and the environment was better; even the courtyard in Sufeng City could not compare to this one.

Of course, what truly surprised her was not the scenery of the courtyard. After all, this was the North Prince Mansion, the Son of Destiny's residence, so it was only right that the living standards were more luxurious than those of an Aristocratic Family.

What really caught Dongfang Longyue off guard was the attitude of the Princess, Mu Zixuan. Mu Zixuan didn't put on any airs in front of her; as a princess, she had actually called her "sister" as soon as she entered the North Prince Mansion, which made Dongfang Longyue feel unexpectedly flattered.

Dongfang Longyue was no fool. How could she not be aware of the messes among the women of the imperial Harem, not to mention the royal court, but also the scheming among the women of the inner courts of Aristocratic Families?

Dongfang Longyue even suspected that Mu Zixuan might be two-faced, smiling on the surface but plotting behind her back. As a princess, not only arranging her accommodations personally in the Prince's Mansion but also calling her "sister" seemed too approachable.

Although she didn't understand what Mu Zixuan's intentions were, Dongfang Longyue still politely said, "Thank you, Princess."

Mu Zixuan continued, "Sister Dongfang, if you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly, or you can tell the maidservants."

Dongfang Longyue replied, "This humble woman understands."

Seeing that Dongfang Longyue was somewhat restrained, Mu Zixuan said with a beaming smile, "Sister Dongfang, now that you have entered the inner court of the Prince's Mansion, you are now the Prince's woman."

Hearing this, Dongfang Longyue's heart skipped a beat. Was the Princess revealing her true intentions? Perhaps now she would start to impose rules on her. Just as Dongfang Longyue was thinking this, Mu Zixuan said, "The inner court of the North Prince Mansion is not like the Harem of the typical princes, nor is it like the inner courts of Aristocratic Families.

Once inside the North Prince Mansion, we address each other as sisters, and everyone gets along very harmoniously. From now on, Sister Dongfang, there's no need to call me Princess. Just call me Sister Zixuan."

Dongfang Longyue was taken aback again. She tentatively said, "Princess, manners should not be discarded. Isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"

Mu Zixuan replied, "Sister Dongfang, you're new here and probably don't know the situation of the inner court of the North Prince Mansion yet. After some time, you'll understand how harmonious our inner court really is."

Although Mu Zixuan said this, Dongfang Longyue still felt somewhat skeptical.

After all, this was the Prince's Harem, a place where women competed for attention and jealousy. Could the inner court of the North Prince Mansion truly be harmonious?

Or was it that the Princess was trying to win her over in order to deal with some other woman?

This kind of situation was very common in great families. If the lady of the house disliked a concubine but the male head of the house favored her, and the lady had no way of getting rid of the concubine, she would try to win over other women to oppose that woman together.

In Dongfang Longyue's view, there had to be a reason Mu Zixuan was being so nice to her—it must be serving some purpose.

Dongfang Longyue did not want to get involved in such matters, but now it was Mu Zixuan who had taken the initiative to be kind to her. Even if she was guarded, she could only accept Mu Zixuan's kindness.

A day passed quickly. Today, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was busy setting up the environment. Lu Chen's wives and concubines were quite nostalgic; even though they moved to the new Prince's Mansion, they still tried to make their new residences feel like the old Prince's Mansion.

After nightfall, all of Lu Chen's women gathered at Wind Cloud Court. When Chu Yuqin reached the entrance of the courtyard and saw the name "Wind Cloud Court," she froze.

She turned to ask the maidservant at the entrance of the courtyard, "Who named it Wind Cloud Court?"

The maidservant answered, "Madam Chu, it was the Prince himself who named it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment. Chu Qingli remarked from beside her, "That's an awful name. He is a Prince after all; even naming a place he just chooses 'Wind Cloud Court'."

Chu Yuqin also wanted to say it was an awful name, but considering that it was Lu Chen who had named it, she didn't say much else and headed straight for the main hall.

When she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she noticed that the plaque above still read "Main Hall." The name of the courtyard had changed, but not the name of the main hall.

Chu Yuqin didn't think much of it and entered the main hall. By that time, a large table of dishes had already been laid out inside.
