Heyue had hot water prepared for her, took a bath, and then went back to rest.

I don't know if it's because I slept enough in the afternoon, or if I have a ticking time bomb next to me, but I'm a little nervous and can't fall asleep.

After thinking for a moment, she stuck out a finger and poked his chest.

The Thirteenth Prince opened his eyes and saw her. His expression immediately softened. "What's wrong? Can't you sleep? Shall I hold you?" He then reached out to put his arm around her waist.

Heyue forcefully slapped his hand away and glared at him angrily.

The thirteenth prince withdrew his hand in grievance and looked at her with a puzzled expression as she sat up.

Heyue sat cross-legged, but then felt cold, so she hugged the blanket and wrapped it around herself. She raised her eyebrows and gestured for Shisan to sit opposite her.

Because he was worried that the maid would have wild thoughts, the two of them shared a quilt. He Yue took up the quilt, leaving the Thirteenth Prince exposed to the air. Although the Thirteenth Prince was wearing a pure white nightgown and was strong and healthy, he couldn't stand the cold of the September night and shivered.

He Yue felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and then felt that he was really wronging the other person by tormenting him like this.

The thirteenth prince wanted to take the opportunity to hug her, but he was afraid she would get angry, so he obediently sat cross-legged opposite her and didn't complain about being cold.

Ultimately, guilt got the better of her, and Yue gave him half of the blanket, but didn't forget to warn him: "If you dare to move, I'll kick you out!"

The thirteenth prince happily crawled into the quilt, snuggling up to her, his heart filled with excitement as he nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I keep my word."

The way the two of them were acting made them seem like two close friends whispering secrets, which made Heyue feel a little uncomfortable, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

"What do you want to say!" Seeing her eager to speak, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but wonder.

He Yue pursed her lips and got straight to the point: "There's something I want to talk to you about."

The thirteenth prince was taken aback. Seeing her serious expression, he suddenly tensed up, pursed his lips, and felt a mix of emotions.

He Yue did not want today's events to happen again, and some things needed to be made clear.

Without giving herself any room to back down, and not caring about his reaction, He Yue said calmly, "You didn't ask my opinion and privately requested an imperial decree to grant us this marriage. I can forgive you. Now that I'm married into this family, I will be a good wife to you, manage your household well, and ensure you have no worries. I also won't deliberately make things difficult for your other women, as long as they don't provoke me."

Hearing the first part of what was said, the Thirteenth Prince couldn't hide his joy. But as he pondered the rest, he felt something was amiss and quickly clarified, "If they want to bully you, you can teach them a lesson. You are the Fujin (princess), and you have the final say."

Hearing this, He Yue's lips twitched. They really didn't treat those people as his women?

However, Heyue was quite satisfied with his words. She coughed, suppressing her laughter, and continued, "Let's not talk about that for now. I know some things are my responsibility. My reaction today did hurt you. I won't run away. I have only one request: for the next two years, and after that, it's up to you. I don't want any physical intimacy with you for the next two years. If you can't stand it, I believe Guarjia will be very willing to see you. In the future, many more women will come in. You can go to them anytime. I won't be angry or jealous. I will treat their children as my own and won't hurt any of them."

The Thirteenth Prince's heart sank instantly. He looked at her with the most pitiful and aggrieved gaze, as if she were an abandoned young wife.

He Yue tried her best to avoid looking at him, determined not to soften her heart.

Seeing her resolute attitude, the Thirteenth Prince cautiously tugged at her sleeve with a finger, scrutinizing her expression, and said tentatively, "Wife, please, don't say that. Don't worry, I won't go to anyone else. And please don't forbid me from touching you, okay? I'll just be gentler next time, I promise I won't hurt you. If you do hurt, I'll just not touch you for a few days until you've recovered..."

He Yue was embarrassed and furious. Who said that? How could he bring up such a thing?! He's shameless to the extreme.

Seeing her expression grow increasingly fierce, as if she wanted to devour someone, the Thirteenth Prince decisively shut his mouth, looked at her pitifully, and hugged her tightly with both hands.

He Yue sighed, realizing that she shouldn't have too much hope for him. This child was preoccupied with this matter all day long, without considering how young he was and whether he was worried about damaging his kidneys.

Thinking about his ferocity last night, he didn't seem like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at all; he was more like a wild beast.

He Yue couldn't understand how someone so young could have so many needs in that area. And yet, he didn't know how to control himself, constantly demanding more.

Thinking of this, He Yue couldn't help but shudder. She was determined not to let him succeed, otherwise her small body would die under his feet sooner or later.

"Look, I didn't stop you from going to other women. If you can't stand it, you can go to them."

Look how virtuous she is! Shouldn't he be content? It's not like he has no other women, so why is he always hanging around here with her?!

After thinking about it, he slapped his forehead, feeling extremely annoyed that he had completely forgotten about it.

To prevent him from becoming too unrestrained in this area and harming his health, we need to advise him against it.

After all, she didn't want to suffer from this even if she wasn't confined in the future, and still end up with a lot of illnesses.

That would be extremely detrimental to one's future plans.

Whether for her own sake or for his, Heyue must raise him to be a healthy child and not someone who is obsessed with women.

Thinking of this, Heyue didn't mind his hugging her and earnestly lectured him: "Look at you, you're so young, you can't just think about this kind of thing all the time, can you? You need to restrain yourself, understand? There are more than just women in the world. You can do more of the tasks that Father Emperor assigns you, learn from Fourth Brother, put your heart into your tasks, and you'll find that you won't always be thinking about that kind of thing. A man should prioritize national affairs, women are nothing... Pshaw, of course women are something... No, anyway, don't worry about women, think more about important things, do more practical things, and you'll find that life is really wonderful."

He Yue felt that the more she talked, the more confused she became, and she had no idea what she was saying.

But when he saw Thirteen staring wide-eyed in surprise with a subtle expression, he realized that things were getting increasingly off. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but slap his head in frustration.

Sigh, I was originally going to talk to him about not staying here all the time and going to his concubines' rooms more often, but how did it turn into a warning to him not to be greedy for women?

However, there's nothing wrong with this approach. Indeed, his mindset should be corrected as soon as possible, so that he doesn't harm his health by indulging in women.

Thinking of this, He Yue composed herself and told herself that this was a serious matter, and she couldn't be shy or embarrassed.

Coughing hard, He Yue looked at his stunned expression and, regardless of his mood, continued her lecture: "I'm not letting you indulge in women for your own good. You're still young and have a lot to do. Don't listen to those who say you should have children as early as possible. Having children too early is not good for them. The older a woman is, the more mature her reproductive function becomes, and the safer it is for the child. If a woman has a child too young, the chances of the child being unhealthy are higher, and it's easy for the child to die young. You need to think this through."
