The uterus of girls aged fifteen or sixteen is not well developed and the uterine wall is relatively thin. After pregnancy, the fetus will gradually grow and stretch the already weak uterus, which will naturally cause great damage to the body.
In more serious cases, both mother and child may be in danger.
In addition, the pelvis of young girls has not fully developed, so the baby is naturally more likely to get stuck during birth.
Not only does the mother suffer, but the fetus can also easily suffocate and die.
That is why modern regulations stipulate that girls are not legally eligible for marriage until they are 20 years old.
This is actually protecting girls.
Feng Changye was slightly stunned when he heard Zhu Wuhuan's thoughts.
Is this the conclusion they came to after a thousand years?
Is it bad for a woman’s health if she gets married and has children too early?
Although he had never heard of the uterus and pelvis before, based on the Queen's description just now, he could roughly guess which two parts they were.
If you think about it carefully, there is actually a little bit of truth in it...
You can tell from the back that the proportions of a little girl's skeleton below the waist are different from those of an adult woman. He believes that it is true that young girls' pelvic bones have not fully developed...
He began to wonder whether he should summon all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau to discuss the issue of women's fertility?
After determining that having children too early is not good for women's health, he directly issued an imperial decree, ordering all girls in the world not to get married too early?
As far as he knew, the noble ladies in the capital were better off. They would get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, get married at fifteen or sixteen, and have children one or two years after marriage. By then, they would be around seventeen years old, not too young.
But it’s different in the countryside.
Many girls were married off by their families in exchange for dowry when they were just thirteen or fourteen years old. They also had children at an even earlier age, around fifteen.
If what the queen said is true, then being too young increases the chances of a difficult birth and the death of both mother and child. So, would issuing a decree allowing the woman to postpone her marriage for two years be better for her situation?
In fact, if possible, he would also like to stipulate that women can only get married after the age of 20, just like a thousand years later. However, this is too unrealistic in the current Da Ning Dynasty.
Forcing women to marry at the age of 20 will surely cause many people who are of marriageable age but cannot get married to rebel.
He allowed women to delay their marriage age by up to two years.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Wuhuan saw that Feng Changye seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked softly.
Feng Changye suddenly came back to his senses.
He suppressed his chaotic thoughts and looked at Zhu Wuhuan as if nothing had happened.
"I'm thinking about how to keep an eye on you from now on and not let you eat too much."
He chuckled softly and said, "Before, you said you couldn't live without meat. I could indulge you and let you eat whatever you wanted. But from today on, you can't do that anymore."
He pinched the tip of her nose and said, "From now on, I will strictly control your three meals a day, Queen. I absolutely cannot let the fetus in your belly grow too strong, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth."
Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but smile. She liked this feeling.
His overbearing control made her feel clearly that she was valued, and she would not experience the sadness and depression that many pregnant women experience when they give birth alone while their husbands stay out of the whole process.
She had never thought before that after traveling to ancient times, she would meet a man who cared about her so much and cherished her so much.
She couldn't help but hook her arm around his neck, looking at him coquettishly, and said, "Doesn't the Emperor care about your little prince the most? He always says they are your little princes... and now he says they can't grow too strong. If they are born as skinny monkeys, won't you be heartbroken?"
Feng Changye lowered his head and stared into her eyes.
"I love my children, but I love the queen who gave birth to my children even more."
He hugged her tightly.
"Besides, I won't mistreat the children. I think as long as they stay in your belly for the full ten months and don't give birth prematurely, their slightly thin bodies won't affect their health. After they are born, if we take good care of them, they will still grow up to be plump and white."
After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, closer to her abdomen.
He lowered his voice, as if talking to the children inside.
"You must be good. It's not that the emperor doesn't like you. You are his own flesh and blood. How could he not like you?"
"But, the three of us, father and son, must first take care of our mother. Only when she's in good health can you two be happy little kids, hugged and coaxed by her, okay?"
"If anything were to happen to your mother while she was giving birth to you, you would no longer have her to love you. Wouldn't that be even more pitiful?"
His slender fingers gently patted her abdomen, as if he had already unilaterally negotiated with the child.
"Okay, then let's make a deal. I'll put you two in a difficult position for now."
"After you are born, your father and mother will love you even more, dear."
After saying this, he looked up at Zhu Wuhuan and smiled.
"I have already made an agreement with them. They will behave well. From now on, the Queen will also behave well."
He raised his hand and stroked her cheek.
"You must control yourself from now on. For the sake of you and your two children, you must eat less and not overeat."
"I know this is a bit unfair to you, but I can promise you that I will accompany you every day to reduce your food intake. Let's control ourselves together."
"After the baby is born safely, I will have the imperial kitchen prepare ginseng, deer antler and bird's nest every day so that you can nourish yourself well, okay?"
Zhu Wuhuan's eyes felt slightly sore, and he couldn't help but bend down and hug him.
"I will obey the emperor."
A voice in her heart said, how could it be bad?
Her tyrant is also thinking about her. He is willing to help her reduce the amount of food she eats. What else is she not satisfied with?
When the baby is a little older, she will control her diet.
You must eat healthy and nutritious meals every day so as not to mistreat the babies in your belly, but you must never overeat.
Then you have to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk every day, which will help ensure a smooth birth of the baby in the future.
Feng Changye was pleased with his queen's obedience. He held her tenderly and began to discuss the gender of the two children with her.
"Queen, do you think the two babies in your belly are boys or girls?"
He knew that one of them was confirmed to be the young prince, but the other one...
He hoped it was a cute little princess.
Moreover, the little princess was born earlier than the little prince.
By then, he could confer the title of Protector of the Nation Princess upon the little princess, and let the whole world follow him in doting on her.
When the little prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the Princess Protector of the Country.
He is as powerful as a vassal king! He has power over the world!
She was protected by him, her father, in the first half of her life, by her brother, the emperor, in the second half, and by her nephew, the new emperor, when she was old. This is the wonderful life his daughter should have!
