However, Qin Yu lowered his guard after seeing who came in.
"Zi Yan, have you been missing me? Well, I've been missing you too!"
Upon seeing Zi Yan, Qin Yu eagerly pulled her into his arms, his restless hands immediately beginning to roam.
"Ah, Your Majesty, please release me! It's the Empress! The Empress wants to see you!"
Zi Yan blushed deeply at Qin Yu's restless hands and quickly said, her breathing becoming rapid.
Upon hearing that it was Zhao Yan who was looking for him, Qin Yu couldn't help but realize that he had indeed neglected Zhao Yan a bit these past few days.
"Very well, since it is your empress who misses me, I will go to the Empress's palace."
Qin Yu smiled and released Zi Yan, who then fled from Qin Yu as if trying to escape.
"Your Majesty, it is actually..."
Zi Yan wanted to say something, but Qin Yu had already walked out.
Left with no other choice, Zi Yan shook her head and followed Qin Yu.
At this time, they were in the Empress's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, is this the contraceptive sheath His Majesty spoke of? This... how can it be so big?"
Several palace maids surrounded Zhao Yan, all curiously examining the items on the plate.
Hearing what the others said, Zhao Yan blushed.
The plate contains the contraceptive sleeves that they and the Craftsmen made according to Qin Yu's suggestion.
Of course, Qin Yu always referred to this thing as a condom.
The oversized condom on the plate was custom-made by Zhao Yan for Qin Yu.
However, Zhao Yan was too embarrassed to say it directly.
Seeing the palace maids still staring at her with great curiosity, Zhao Yan quickly waved her hand.
"Alright, alright, you all should get out of here now, the Emperor will be here soon!"
Upon hearing this, the group stepped back.
Zhao Yan blushed again as she looked at the condom covers on the tray.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Just then, Anfu's voice came.
Zhao Yan quickly stood up, momentarily flustered.
However, before she could even leave the palace to greet him, Qin Yu rushed in excitedly.
"Your Majesty..."
Just as Zhao Yan opened her mouth to bow, Qin Yu rushed up and scooped her up in his arms.
"My beloved concubine, I haven't been here for several days. Do you miss me?"
Qin Yu smiled as he looked at Zhao Yan, his eyes already roaming over her curvaceous figure.
When he was focused on finding an antidote for Miaoyu, he didn't realize how thirsty he was. But now that he saw Zhao Yan, Qin Yu realized that he was desperately thirsty and needed to quench his thirst.
"think!"
Zhao Yan nodded timidly.
In fact, she wanted to go find Qin Yu several times, but she was by nature a person who did not compete or fight. Whenever she heard that Qin Yu was staying in someone else's palace, she could only suppress her longing.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was overjoyed.
"I have neglected my beloved concubine; it is my fault!"
Qin Yu laughed heartily, his large hand already reaching inside Zhao Yan's dress.
Feeling that smooth and full texture, Qin Yu could no longer resist and immediately carried Zhao Yan to the phoenix bed.
Zi Yan, who was standing at the door, had originally intended to come in, but upon seeing this scene, she quickly retreated with a blush on her face and closed the palace gate behind her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait!"
Seeing that Qin Yu was about to mount his horse with his spear, Zhao Yan quickly pressed her hands against his chest and cried out anxiously.
Although Qin Yu was anxious, he still stopped.
"My beloved concubine, do you perhaps not wish to be with me?"
Qin Yu gently stroked Zhao Yan's hair and asked with a smile.
Zhao Yan blushed deeply.
"No, no, I wanted to tell Your Majesty that the contraceptive you had made was successful. You... do you want to use it..."
Upon hearing Zhao Yan's words, Qin Yu couldn't help but show a look of joy.
"Did the condom work?"
As Qin Yu spoke, he looked up at the table and noticed the obviously oversized condom.
Qin Yu picked it up and looked at it, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
This was done even better than he had imagined.
Although the material is not rubber, but made from herring swim bladders and some other mixtures, its thinness, lightness, and elasticity are almost comparable to rubber condoms made in the industrial age.
"My beloved concubine, how much did this thing cost?"
Qin Yu leaned against the bed, looking at Zhao Yan with curiosity.
Zhao Yan blushed, but still answered, "According to the craftsmen, apart from this condom specially made for His Majesty which is quite expensive, the others can be replaced with cheaper materials, costing about ten coins."
Hearing this, Qin Yu nodded.
After all, the industrial level of this era was relatively backward, and the Great Xia Dynasty did not have a stable channel for collecting natural rubber. The cost of ten coins for a condom was already considered very low.
"Now that this product can be produced stably, it seems like we can start a condom business in the future!"
Qin Yu looked at the condom in her hand and smiled.
However, Zhao Yan blushed when she heard this.
"Your Majesty, who would buy this item other than courtesans?"
Zhao Yan didn't think that this contraceptive could become a business.
Because apart from courtesans, ordinary women would never need such a thing.
"Haha, my dear concubine, this is what you don't understand. I can tell you clearly that not only will people buy this, but even though the price is high, people will still flock to buy it."
Qin Yu shook his head.
Many people think that people in feudal times were very conservative, but that's not true.
If it weren't for the fear of pregnancy, many lovelorn men and women would probably spend money however much they wanted.
Once condoms are available on the market, they will undoubtedly attract a rush of buyers.
"Really?"
Zhao Yan looked at Qin Yu with an innocent expression.
"My dear consort, just wait and see. But for now, let's experience its effects for ourselves!"
Qin Yu gently stroked Zhao Yan's nose, then put on the Smurf costume and went into battle.
"Ah~ Your Majesty!"
With Zhao Yan's soft moan, the entire palace was instantly engulfed in flames of war.
Ziyan, Anfu, and the others outside the door silently moved further away.
...
Night falls.
"Your Majesty, this condom is indeed remarkably effective. In this way, we no longer need to drink that bitter and astringent contraceptive soup, which can also harm the body. I just wonder if Your Majesty will find it unsatisfying?"
On the large bed, Qin Yu and Zhao Yan slept in each other's arms. Zhao Yan was still marveling at the effectiveness of the condom, but she was also a little worried that Qin Yu might feel uncomfortable.
Qin Yu smiled and hugged Zhao Yan even tighter.
"As long as my beloved concubine doesn't suffer, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance? Besides, this condom is already the thinnest one I could make, so why would I have any complaints?"
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhao Yan felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Seeing her happy expression, Qin Yu secretly shook his head.
Even if the cover is very thin, it will still affect the experience.
However, compared to making his woman drink contraceptive soup, Qin Yu could bear this little hardship.
