Zishu Yan knew what she really cared about, which was why she told him it was okay, because she was Wan Ge. They wouldn't care.
When Zishu Yan helped her comb her hair, he bent down and kissed her neck.
Besides the ones he had just kissed, there were also some marks left from last night.
Zishu Yan had never dealt with this kind of thing before, so he was bound to be a bit reckless.
…
About half a year after Wan Ge and Zi Shuyan got married, Mu Shu and Zi Shuhua also got married. Zi Shuhua became the Prime Minister's wife, and Mu Shu was both the Prime Minister and the Prince Consort. However, they lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was some distance away from the palace.
After Zishuhua married into the Prime Minister's household, the Empress felt that the palace was much quieter. Her son and husband had to deal with state affairs, so only her daughter-in-law kept her company.
While feeding the fish by the pond with the Empress, watching the schools of koi, Wan Ge suddenly heard the Empress mention the child.
The Empress was not pressuring them to have children, of course. After all, she herself had children long after marrying the Emperor. At that time, the ministers had urged him to choose a concubine countless times on the grounds that he had no children.
The Empress only mentioned it because the children have all grown up and the palace feels much quieter now.
Wan Ge didn't speak, but silently asked Ruan Ruan, "Does your system have substitutes for children?"
There are some necessary tasks that may require the appearance of children to complete them. There is a substitute in the system store. Children do not actually have souls, but in order to improve the plot or for the needs of the plot characters, substitutes are available.
Without a soul, one is like a humanoid robot, living entirely according to customized needs.
Because it's a substitute, there's no sensation of pregnancy, and no pain during childbirth. The host doesn't actually experience pregnancy, so there are no feelings involved.
Ruan Ruan replied softly, "My lord... my level isn't high enough yet, and I haven't activated this permission. Why don't you wait for me for a while, and I'll upgrade it?"
She actually had a lot of points, but she forgot to upgrade.
Wan Ge replied with an "okay," and said that she would decide whether or not to have children when the time came.
In the end, Wan Ge simply told the Queen that they would try their best.
The Empress was slightly taken aback by her answer, and immediately explained, "Your Majesty did not mean to urge you to have children."
They've just gotten married, so they probably want to spend more time together as a couple.
Seeing the Empress's anxious expression, Wan Ge softly replied, "I know."
…
After the court session, Zishu Yan was in a great hurry to find Wan Ge. At that moment, Wan Ge was on her way back to her palace. When she saw the person coming towards her, she smiled at him.
Zishu Yan immediately went to her and hugged her: "Wange."
Zishu Yan didn't say much, he just gently called her name, as if only in this way could he feel safe.
Wan Ge reached out and patted his head: "Shall we go back? I have something I want to tell you."
Zishu Yan looked somewhat confused, but still took her hand and they went back to their bedchamber together.
When Wan Ge asked him if he wanted children, Zi Shu Yan lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before finally looking up at her and saying, "I don't want to, at least not now."
