Chapter 150: I Don't Want Children
“…”
Ji Yunshu had forgotten that there was such a saying. She hesitated and said, "Is there no way that it won't hurt your body?"
She was actually a little scared. There was nothing wrong with her or Zhao Shen's health, but with the frequency of their sex life, it would be difficult for them not to get pregnant.
She was willing to marry and date Zhao Shen.
No matter what the outcome will be, she should cherish the present and live a good life.
But this does not include having children.
With the current level of medical care, giving birth is really like going through the gates of hell.
She was afraid that she would die before she could achieve success.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Bai Ling didn't want to persuade her any further. He nodded and said, "I'll go ask Taoist Yichen. Maybe he knows a recipe that won't hurt me."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
When she went to the hall to eat, Zhao Shen was already there, but it was quiet inside.
She couldn't help but say, "If you're hungry, just eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
Zhao Shen looked at her deeply before saying, "I just got here too."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ji Yunshu felt that the way he looked at her was a little strange.
She looked at Zhao Shen and asked, "Did something happen?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "No."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of food for Ji Yunshu with his chopsticks and said with a smile, "This is made by the two chefs you brought out from the palace yesterday. Try it and see if you like it."
It was the same gentleness as before.
Ji Yunshu lowered his eyes and took a bite. It was a simple dish of braised cabbage in vinegar, but it was refreshing and not bland, and tasted very good.
She smiled and said, "These two chefs prepared this for the restaurant. You can try it and give me some suggestions."
Zhao Shen took a bite and said, "The royal chef's cooking skills are naturally good."
After that, neither of them spoke much, although in families like theirs, people believed in not talking while eating or sleeping.
But Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen have never restrained themselves, and it is common for them to talk about things while eating.
It seems a bit deserted today.
After eating, Zhao Shen said that he had something to deal with. Ji Yunshu looked at his back and felt that there was something wrong with this man.
She asked the maidservant beside her: "When did the prince come?"
The maid was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't she come with you?"
Ji Yunshu immediately understood: "He went to call me for dinner?"
The maid nodded.
After hearing this, Ji Yunshu knew what was going on with Zhao Shen.
He obviously heard what she and Bai Ling said, and knew that she was feeling uncomfortable about taking the contraceptive pills.
She just didn't understand. For such a simple matter, why not just ask her? Why was there so much trouble figuring it out on her own?
She felt that this habit of not opening her mouth needed to be treated, so she did not go to find Zhao Shen, but instead busy herself with her own things.
There is Yichen, a skilled doctor, in the clinic, and Xiao Yu is helping out outside. Now even the problem of medicinal materials has been solved, and the clinic is running smoothly.
The restaurant has been renovated these days, and the imperial chef is coming soon. However, one is old and the other is young, so they are obviously not capable of taking on the responsibility. She instructed Lan Yin: "Find a few people who are good at cooking and learn from the imperial chef. After a while, we will see if there are any who can become his apprentice."
Lan Yin nodded.
The two of them reviewed the preparations needed for the restaurant's opening, and Lan Yin went out to do some work.
On the other side, Zhao Shen went to the study. The desk in front of him was piled with files and letters, as well as invitations from various families who were eager to make friends with him because they knew his leg was intact and he was the emperor's confidant.
Of course, most of them were sent by Xiao Yu early in the morning.
Since someone was willing to help deal with it, Xiao Yu was naturally happy to have some free time and even wanted to move all the files from Jingzhao Prefecture over.
Unfortunately, Zhao Shen did not do as he expected and handle these things just by raising his fingers.
Not only did he get up late, which was unusual today, but he also finally sat down in the study, but he was completely out of his mind. He held an opened letter in his hand and did not move for a long time.
Dongzhi, who was waiting beside him, couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the prince?"
Why do I feel like I've lost my soul?
Zhao Shen put down the letter in his hand, rubbed his brows and asked, "Did Madam suffer any injustice during the time I was away?"
They obviously had a good relationship when they were outside, so why don’t they want to have children when they come back?
Zhao Shen suspected that Yao's mother and son had done something that made her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't say it, so she resorted to this desperate measure.
Dongzhi was puzzled and said, "No, the lady usually stays in the yard. I haven't heard of any conflict with anyone."
He really wanted to say that the lady was not the type to suffer any loss.
Zhao Shen also felt that Yao Shi would not come to provoke Ji Yunshu if nothing happened.
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any result, and he felt even more depressed.
He originally wanted to finish his work quickly and go to accompany Ji Yunshu, but when he thought about her not wanting children and having to take contraceptive pills that were harmful to her body, he forced himself to finish reading all the files on the desk and didn't go back to his room until he thought Ji Yunshu was asleep.
When he returned to the room, Ji Yunshu was already asleep, but she left the light on for him.
He felt a little complicated for a moment.
I changed into my pajamas and went to bed, lying down properly in my seat, closing my eyes and preparing to sleep.
A warm and soft body leaned over.
Zhao Shen froze for a moment, without moving, and asked softly, "Did I wake you?"
Ji Yunshu complained, "Why did you come back so late?"
Zhao Shen said: "I just came back, and I have a lot to do."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe his nonsense: "Didn't you say you didn't take up your post so you could accompany me? How can you be considered accompanying me if you don't even see my shadow for a whole day?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Zhao Shen again.
Zhao Shen wanted to move away unnoticed, but as soon as he moved, Ji Yunshu held him down: "Why are you hiding from me?"
Zhao Shen took a deep breath: "Aren't you afraid of kidney deficiency?"
Ji Yunshu blinked and said, "I asked Bai Ling, and she said that what we do is normal and won't cause kidney deficiency."
She deliberately teased Zhao Shen, wanting to see how long he could hold it in.
Who knew Zhao Shen stood up and said, "I think so. How about we sleep separately?"
Although he didn't know why Ji Yunshu didn't want to have a child, he didn't want her to take contraceptive pills because they were bad for her health.
Ji Yunshu: “…”
This man is really patient.
She simply asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Zhao Shen didn't say anything.
Ji Yunshu continued, "Or did you stop liking me after you got me?"
Zhao Shen didn't expect her to turn the tables like this. He sighed and said, "I heard what you said to Bai Ling. Don't you want to have a child?"
Ji Yunshu: "So you plan to never touch me again?"
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment. He found that his current behavior was a bit childish and he had not thought it through rationally.
This shouldn't have happened to him.
Their relationship these days was so good, it felt like a dream. He was so lost in the joy of being in tune with her and reaching the pinnacle of happiness together that he couldn't help himself.
When I suddenly heard her words today, it was like a beautiful dream was shattered and I couldn’t accept it.
So he subconsciously wanted to escape.
But Ji Yunshu had already said this, and he also felt that things between husband and wife should be made clear.
He finally asked what he had been holding in his heart all day: "Why don't you want children?"
