Seeing that Murong Xi did not answer, Chu Xia remained in high spirits.
"Your Majesty, you haven't answered yet."
"What should I answer?!"
Murong Xi frowned, deciding to teach her a lesson: "You are supposed to be the Holy Maiden of Yueyao, how can you do something like eavesdropping?"
Chu Xia pouted, unconvinced, and said, "It's not like I overheard on purpose. Didn't you hear it too?"
"you--"
"Your Majesty, I'm being serious!"
Chu Xia suddenly interrupted Murong Xi, saying with a serious expression, "When I was reading a book about women before, it mentioned that after a man and woman get married, they should have sex in the bridal chamber at night. If the sex is done properly, both the man and woman will enjoy it endlessly!"
"..."
Murong Xi looked at Chu Xia, speechless, wondering when she had become so fierce.
She had kissed Jing Zhe several times and had even mastered some kissing techniques, but she didn't think about these kinds of things like Jing Zhe did.
Seeing Murong Xi remain silent, Chu Xia thought she was shy again, and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't think I'm talking nonsense. These are all written in women's books!"
Because Yueyao is a matriarchal society, the things that women there learn are different from those in other countries. The "Women's Book" is a subject that Yueyao women must learn. It not only contains various virtues and conduct that women should abide by, but also records in detail the private matters between men and women, such as the sexual relations mentioned by Chu Xia.
"I've seen it before, do you need to tell me?"
"Murong Xi retorted."
"Your Majesty, don't lie to me! Back then, when we went to study women's books together, when you saw scenes like this, you secretly ran off to study national policies and strategies. Even if you did see them, you only scratched the surface. You certainly didn't understand them as clearly as I did!"
"..."
Murong Xi shrugged, neither confirming nor denying: "So what?"
"So what? You probably don't know how important sex is to a couple!"
Chu Xia became interested and pulled Murong Xi to sit down by the bed. Like a teacher, she explained to her with great enthusiasm.
"The book for women says that sexual relations are like the pleasure of fish and water for men and women. After marriage, women need the nourishment of sexual relations to become younger and more beautiful. Moreover, as long as sexual relations are kept in harmony, it can also prolong life!"
As Chu Xia's words became increasingly outrageous, Murong Xi pouted, somewhat disbelieving: "It's just... matters between men and women, why are you making it sound so bizarre?"
"Does the Queen think I'm lying to you? Everything I said is true!"
Chu Xia saw Murong Xi's contemptuous expression and immediately felt indignant.
"When men and women engage in sexual intercourse, it takes on a physical form. The man's vitality remains undiminished, and the woman is freed from all ailments. Her mind is delighted, and her strength increases. However, those who do not know this practice can achieve longevity through sexual intercourse. The method is a secret, and should not be transmitted to those who are not virtuous..."
So Chu Xia began to recite at length. After listening, Murong Xi realized that it was indeed the content of a women's book, but she hadn't looked at it carefully before.
"Okay, I believe you."
Fearing she would go on and on about it, Murong Xi interrupted her and then asked, "But what does this have to do with him?"
"How could it not be related! It's extremely related!"
Chu Xia stood up: "The book for women also says that some men are born impotent. If a woman marries such a man, over time, the imbalance of yin and yang will cause her to die a lonely and depressed life. Does the Empress think this is a big deal?"
"real?"
Murong Xi was startled and asked again, "But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him?"
"Of course! Your Majesty, did you calculate it? From the time he went into the next room to the time he came out, how long was it? Just over fifteen minutes, right? That doesn't even include the time he spent talking, putting on and taking off his clothes. If you take all that out, then it's only—"
Chu Xia gestured with her hand: "In such a short time, this is clearly not going to work! What if it's true? Wouldn't the Empress suffer if she followed him?"
Hearing Chu Xia say this, Murong Xi was not worried about himself, but was instead somewhat dissatisfied, dissatisfied that Chu Xia cursed Jing Zhe.
"You have no evidence, so don't make wild guesses or say anything! Do you think General Jinghong and Zhu Sheren are dumber than you? Do you think Princess Mochen and her sister are dumber than you? Do you think the proprietress of Wenxiangju is dumber than you? He has so many women, how could he not be capable?"
Murong Xi presented the facts and reasoned with Chu Xia, analyzing the situation for her.
"It's because he has so many women that he's probably exhausted and can't perform! Otherwise, according to what women's books say, a normal man should have enough time..."
"Shut up, I'm not listening!"
Like a little girl, Murong Xi quickly covered her ears.
What Chu Xia said was completely outside her consideration. Her only thought now was how to subtly relay to Jing Zhe her decision from tonight tomorrow, and see how happy he would be to hear the good news…
...
"Achoo!"
As soon as Jing Zhe entered the house, he covered his mouth; this was already the third time he had sneezed in such a short period of time.
"Husband, have you caught a cold?"
Zhang Xiaoyu followed behind Jing Zhe and asked with concern.
"No."
Jing Zhe shook his head. He could tell whether he had caught a cold or not. He frowned and said, "I think it's because someone is talking about me that I keep sneezing!"
"It must be Empress Yueyao and the Holy Maiden—"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked wary.
"Shh!"
Jing Zhe quickly interrupted her, then whispered, "Xiao Yu, have you forgotten what we just talked about?"
"I'll do whatever you say, my husband!"
Zhang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes and said sweetly.
"Then let's not mention those two. Don't forget that if Second Sister asks later, just say I went back to Wenxiang Residence a long time ago, and we two chatted there and forgot the time, which is why we came back so late!"
"Oh, okay..."
Although I felt it was wrong to so blatantly deceive Zhu Xinning, what could I do when she had already agreed? Besides, there was the necklace…
Zhang Xiaoyu reached out and touched it, her face beaming with joy.
The lights were on in the room, and Zhu Xinning was sitting at the table.
Seeing the two go inside, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help asking, "Why are you back so late?"
Jing Zhe gestured with his lips, indicating that Zhang Xiaoyu should speak.
After all, he didn't have much authority in front of his second sister, and even if he told the truth, it would be taken as a lie, let alone a lie. He was aware of this much.
So Zhang Xiaoyu repeated exactly what Jing Zhe had taught her. Since it was a lie, Zhang Xiaoyu's speech was unnatural and hesitant, and her cheeks were flushed.
However, Zhu Xinning found this expression to be incredibly genuine: Zhang Xiaoyu was shy; she had only become a woman yesterday and had been with him at Wenxiangju until now. She certainly hadn't done anything good, so it was no wonder she was embarrassed!
