Fu Yunchen thought for a moment and said, "What I want to know is, will it have any negative effects on a woman's health if she engages in sexual activity after reaching the age of marriage?"
"Hmm?" The imperial physician had thought Fu Yunchen was going to ask about His Majesty's condition, but he didn't expect him to inquire about matters within the inner palace.
"Your Excellency, a woman can marry and have children after she reaches the age of marriage. Sexual intercourse is perfectly normal, except for some special periods, such as when she is menstruating or when she is weak due to illness. At other times, there are no problems. Moreover, after the balance of Yin and Yang is achieved, it is also of great benefit to her body and mind."
"I see. So, there won't be any harm, right?"
"Yes. However, it is best to have children after the age of eighteen, as women are more voluptuous and have easier childbirths, and the children born are more likely to be intelligent and healthy."
"Understood, thank you for your guidance, sir." Fu Yunchen bowed to the imperial physician in gratitude.
The imperial physician was terrified. "No, no. If Your Excellency needs anything, please just send someone, and I will come in person."
"I'll have to trouble the Imperial Physician. By the way, you don't need to worry too much about His Majesty." With that, Fu Yunchen strode away.
The imperial physician was just wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, waiting for this very sentence!
However, he inquired about the inner palace... Never mind, there's no point in thinking about such things; His Majesty's health is more important.
The imperial physician had just returned to the palace gate when he saw Eunuch Song coming out from inside. "His Majesty is feeling better. You may all leave."
"Yes, may I take His Majesty's pulse again?" the imperial physician asked cautiously.
Eunuch Song waved his whisk and said, "No need, sir, please return."
Not long after, the ministers who were working in their offices received a summons to attend court for a political discussion.
Fu Yunchen closed the memorial in his hand, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
...
Princess's Residence.
With a 'crack', an exquisitely crafted jade teacup was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"It really was that vile servant!" Xiao'an was furious.
“Your Highness, since Hua Ling is a member of the Imperial Certification Office, why not let them handle it? That way, Your Highness won’t have to dirty your hands,” Yu Lu said, kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.
Xiao'an glanced at her and said, "Go and summon the Director of the Imperial Censorate."
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Yu Lu hurriedly ran off.
Another nanny came over to report, "Your Highness, the concubine of Prince Zhou has arrived."
"Li Yingyu?" Xiao'an looked displeased, but quickly composed himself. "Please let her in."
Guided by a palace maid, Li Yingyu arrived before Xiao'an.
Li Yingyu, who usually dresses up for every occasion, looked rather disheveled this time, with no makeup on.
As Li Yingyu was about to curtsy, Xiao'an stopped her, saying, "No need for formalities. You are now my elder."
"How dare I be Your Highness's elder?" Li Yingyu still knelt down, "Please, Princess, save my life."
"What makes you say that?" Xiao'an quickly helped Li Yingyu up.
Six years ago, Li Yingyu was defiled by Prince Zhou and eventually married into Prince Zhou's mansion as a concubine.
When she first married into the family, Prince Zhou doted on her for a while. Having tasted the sweetness of being favored, Li Yingyu gradually turned her attention to Prince Zhou.
But the good times didn't last long. Prince Zhou was fickle and didn't discriminate between men and women. He brought in a male concubine from outside, and they indulged in revelry every day. Li Yingyu was heartbroken and in tears.
When Prince Zhou celebrated his birthday, he invited Fu Yunchen. She disguised herself as a maid and sneaked into the banquet hall, where she saw Fu Yunchen, who was even more handsome and refined than before. He glanced at her, and that one glance reignited her old feelings like a wildfire.
