After returning to Qinian Palace, it was already late at night. The summer evening breeze blew across my cheeks, adding a touch of heat again.
After running around all day, Chu Yuening felt sticky all over and very uncomfortable.
"A Zheng, I'm going to take a shower first."
Ying Zheng lowered his eyes to look at the woman with slightly wet hair, held her white wrist, leaned close and whispered something.
The next second, the tips of Chu Yuening's ears instantly turned red as blood, and she glared at the man in embarrassment and anger.
"what ever!"
With a soft moan, Chu Yuening hurriedly walked into the bathroom.
After receiving the consent, Ying Zheng smiled and followed the woman's steps.
After a while, the sound of running water, ambiguous panting and begging for mercy came from the bathroom...
After an unknown amount of time, the light on the candlestick flickered, and two figures appeared.
The man with a satisfied look on his face had loose black hair, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and his face was full of joy.
The woman in his arms had already fallen asleep. Her fair face was flushed by the steam, and the corners of her eyes were stained with a hint of rouge.
Ying Zheng first held the woman in his arms and sat on the sofa, then used a cotton towel to dry her wet hair bit by bit.
The woman leaned safely against his chest, the charm between her eyebrows had not faded yet, and a crystal teardrop hung on her curled eyelashes.
"It's me, Meng Lang."
After drying her hair, Ying Zheng chuckled softly and restrainedly placed a kiss on her rosy lips.
Under the dim candlelight, the tall man forcefully held the woman in his arms and fell asleep together.
When she woke up the next day, Chu Yuening felt that she had slept particularly soundly.
But when she opened her eyes and saw the dazzling sunlight outside the glass window, she was suddenly awakened. How could it be noon all of a sudden?
"It's all A Zheng's fault..."
Chu Yuening recalled the scenes in the bathtub last night and couldn't help but cover her burning cheeks, despising herself in her heart.
Beauty can mislead people, and male beauty can mislead people even more!
Why can't I resist the temptation?
At this time, the palace maid outside the hall heard the noise and hurriedly asked respectfully.
"My Lady, would you like to get up and wash? His Majesty is worried you'll be hungry, so he's ordered us to prepare lunch."
"Well, come in."
Feeling hungry, Chu Yuening didn't care about the embarrassment and got up quickly.
After washing up, she asked the palace maid to tie her hair into a simple bun and then prepared to have lunch.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of the delicious fish soup, Chu Yuening suddenly realized that it seemed like she hadn't seen her baby for a whole day.
"Where's Zhao Zhao?"
"Your Majesty, the little prince has been taken to Zhangtai Palace by His Majesty."
"Have they had lunch?"
"No, I should be dining with the Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng walked steadily towards the chubby little ball with one hand in his arms.
"Mother!"
Ying Zhao finally saw his mother whom he had missed for so long, and opened his arms joyfully for a hug.
Yesterday, his father and mother went out of the palace to play for a day. In the morning, he wanted to ask his mother to get up and accompany him, but his father took her away and said that his mother was too tired and he couldn't wake her up.
"Hey! Mommy's good boy~"
Chu Yuening hugged the little boy and rubbed his baby fat, with a gentle gleam in her eyes.
The mother and son were so excited as if they had been reunited after a long separation. Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and reminded them in a gentle voice.
"Yuening, have your meal first. You haven't had breakfast yet."
"Hmph, who can I blame? I already said no..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but looking at the clear and innocent eyes of her child, Chu Yuening kept silent again.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Can I let Yue Ning deal with it tonight?"
Seeing that the woman was angry and embarrassed, Ying Zheng immediately admitted his mistake and looked at his little wife with doting eyes.
This appearance was completely different from the usual cold and majestic image of the emperor, but the palace people present had long been accustomed to it.
There were even a few palace maids who kept glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
For some reason, every time I see the sweet and loving scenes between His Majesty and His Majesty, I get so excited that I want to scream.
"Hmph, that's pretty good~"
Chu Yuening's eyebrows were curved, and she looked like a proud little fox.
In the afternoon, Chu Yuening prepared to discuss the reform of the marriage system with Ying Zheng. She first summoned all the imperial physicians in the palace.
Ying Zheng looked down at the densely packed crowd below, frowning in thought, why is Yue Ning doing this?
"I summoned you here today because I have some questions for you. Please answer truthfully."
"Your Majesty, please speak. We will tell you everything we know."
Hearing the opinions expressed by the imperial physicians, Chu Yuening's starry eyes flickered slightly and she opened her red lips slightly.
"Have you ever treated a pregnant woman?"
"nature."
"Then has anyone died in childbirth?"
"That's... quite a lot."
"How old are they?"
"About fourteen or fifteen."
After a question and an answer, Ying Zheng understood Chu Yuening's deep meaning, and he asked in a deep voice.
"At what age can one safely conceive a child?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the risk of childbirth is slightly lower when you are around seventeen or eighteen years old."
"I actually think that women who have given birth rarely experience difficult labor."
"Isn't that nonsense, old man? I still need you to say it."
“…”
As they were talking, some people started arguing, which was so funny that Chu Yuening had no choice but to interrupt.
"Okay, I understand. One last question. Do babies born from incestuous unions often have deformities?"
As soon as the words fell, all the imperial physicians' expressions changed drastically.
They have been practicing medicine for many years and have encountered countless strange diseases. Naturally, they have also come into contact with such secret matters, but their masters have warned them to keep their mouths shut.
At first, they all thought that the deformed children were a punishment from God, but they never thought...
