Jun Chenbi wanted to marry a male empress, but the biggest obstacle was not silencing public opinion, but the issue of having offspring.
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.
Moreover, the descendants of an emperor are not only related to himself, but also to the fate of the Great Yong Dynasty.
Their emperor was willing to defy public opinion and give the top scholar a legitimate marriage and title, clearly indicating that he intended to choose only one woman from among many, rather than having a harem of three thousand beauties.
Otherwise, such a shocking and unacceptable relationship could have been kept secret, instead of being so open and flamboyant, and announced to the whole world.
His Majesty only married the top scholar in the imperial examination; he has no other wives.
However, how can an emperor be without an heir?
Yue Tianxing believed that this gift had truly touched His Majesty's heart.
An emperor and the young man he loves, their blood relatives and descendants.
There could be no more suitable wedding gift for the Emperor and Empress.
To Yue Tianxing's utter surprise, the gift failed to move Jun Chenbi.
After Qin Ge read through the words on the note, she took out the pair of fruits lying in the jade box. These fruits were no ordinary ones; they bloomed and bore fruit every hundred years. The fruits would not perish if not picked, but would disappear if they fell to the ground, only preserved by the jade box. It was clear that Yue Tianxing had put a lot of thought into it.
Qin Ge held the faintly fluorescent blue Yin Fruit in his hand. It felt as cool as jade to the touch, and the peel seemed to be covered with mysterious and complex pale silver patterns. Just as Qin Ge was about to hold the Yin Fruit closer to examine it more closely, a fair and slender hand came from the side and snatched it away.
"What's so interesting about this?" Jun Chenbi snatched the ice-blue fruit away, his handsome dark eyebrows furrowed, and his beautiful, narrow phoenix eyes flashed with disapproval, as if he were afraid that Jun Chenbi would do something foolish.
It was as if... they were worried that Qin Ge would eat the Yin Fruit.
Qin Ge hadn't planned to eat it in the first place.
He and Jun Chenbi were born with these genders, destined not to follow the laws of nature or the harmony of yin and yang, and unable to have their own bloodline offspring. This was something he had long recognized, and there was really no need to forcibly defy fate.
Besides, the idea of cesarean section to remove a child, a life-or-death situation, sounds gruesome.
Anyway, he was unwilling.
Qin Ge believed that Jun Chenbi was just like him.
Moreover, the tyrant didn't seem to care about having offspring. Even without him, the Jun royal family branch didn't continue in the original story. This was because Jun Chenbi had no intention of taking a concubine or empress, or of having any romantic relationships with women.
Therefore, the great gift from the Yue State Preceptor was destined to be wasted.
This was something Qin Ge had expected.
However, Qin Ge still found the emperor's actions quite pleasing.
Although he wasn't the type to be dissolute or unrestrained, on the contrary, he could be described as calm and composed, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile at this moment.
Slightly pressing down on his slightly upturned lips, Qin Ge weighed the white jade box in his hand, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Such a rare treasure, does Your Majesty not intend to use it? This is something that can help Your Majesty leave behind an heir."
The boy smiled gently, like a seductive enchantress whispering sweet nothings in one's ear, capable of awakening desires within the heart.
Jun Chenbi took the cold jade white box completely from his hands, put the ice-blue Yin Fruit back, and then snapped it shut.
"My body is perfectly healthy, why would I need such a thing to produce offspring?" The Emperor's face darkened at the teasing, and he snorted coldly before stretching out his long arm and pulling the boy into his embrace. His hand landed on the boy's slender and supple waist, or rather, his lower abdomen. "Or perhaps, you are willing to bear a child for me?"
"..."
As he stroked her belly, Qin Ge felt as if a tingling electric current surged through her spine.
He had nothing to say.
Jun Chenbi chuckled, a hint of victory and smugness in his voice as he exposed the boy's ulterior motives. He lowered his head slightly, parted his thin lips, and captured the boy's pale earlobe, exhaling a warm and alluring breath. "...Even if you were willing to bear my child, I wouldn't want it."
"Hmm?" Qin Ge tilted her head slightly, glancing at him. That was going too far. Was she looking down on him?
"What do I need those brats for? They'll just distract you. All I need is you..." Jun Chenbi held him in his arms, his long, slender fingers loosening his clothes. "So, the most important person in your eyes and heart can only be me."
Although he didn't know much about it, he had heard that after giving birth, those women put their children first, and were even willing to die for them, just like his mother had died for him.
His Majesty the Emperor was so possessive of his top scholar that he was even jealous of his children.
Even just the thought of a little brat taking away Qin Ge's attention and replacing him as the most important person in Qin Ge's heart made him feel uneasy.
Therefore, I'd rather not have it.
Qin Ge was both amused and exasperated by Jun Chenbi's words.
This person is really...
With most of her clothes stripped off, there was no point in being coy. Qin Ge licked her lips and said, "Jun Chenbi..."
"Um?"
"Try the red one."
Jun Chenbi narrowed his phoenix eyes, staring at the person in his arms, his eyes surging with dark emotions, "Wait... don't regret it later."
