After more than half an hour, Jun Zechen held her gently and walked to the room steadily.
Miaoxia had prepared everything early inside, and a large bucket of hot water was steaming.
When His Majesty was with his master, he never liked them to serve him. After Miaoxia prepared the water, she quietly left and asked Miaoyue to bring the carefully prepared meal into the house.
Jun Zechen put the person into the bathtub, then stepped in swiftly and held her in his arms.
The soft body seemed to have endless attraction, making him unable to let go.
"Get it out, I don't want to get pregnant."
Su Jingyao leaned lazily against him and spoke weakly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.
Su Jingyao no longer takes contraceptives regularly, and usually only allows him to have sex during the safe period.
Jun Zechen was already very familiar with serving her, and he responded with a doting, "Yes."
If she doesn't want to give birth, she won't. After all, he is the one who is worried when giving birth, and she feels uncomfortable during pregnancy, and he feels uncomfortable too.
After the two finished washing, Su Jingyao felt her legs go weak and she casually put on a thin gauze skirt.
Jun Zechen also casually put on a robe with the collar wide open, revealing his strong chest.
He followed her and when he saw her walking unsteadily, he immediately picked her up without hesitation.
Outside, Miaoyue had already placed the prepared meals on the table. She was used to it and left some space for her master and His Majesty to be alone.
Jun Zechen held her and sat down, and couldn't help but chuckled, "Are you that tired?"
Su Jingyao leaned softly on him. It was not because she was tired, but the extreme pleasure made her body very exhausted. Looking at the food at this moment, she could not even muster an appetite.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen ate by himself, but from time to time he would pick up her favorite meal and ask her, "Do you want to eat this?"
Su Jingyao would occasionally take a sip of the food he fed her, and then take advantage of the warm moment between the two of them to slowly unfold her thoughts.
"My husband punished the Li family today. It is true that he punished the tyrant of Yicheng. But what I saw when I went out today was the hardship and difficulty of many women."
Her expression was serious and solemn, and her eyes were filled with worry.
"Although the imperial court has never issued an order to stop women from engaging in business, both in the legal provisions and in the current public sentiment, women are treated with great hostility."
"It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult for the female shopkeepers of Mingxiang Yige to run the teahouse."
"What do you think about this, my husband?"
She said slowly, looking at Jun Zechen, expecting his response.
Jun Zechen picked up some food while listening to her attentively. His handsome brows were slightly furrowed, and he was thinking deeply about what she said.
He has never looked down on women. In his mind, women's abilities and wisdom are no less than men's. They are just subject to many unreasonable restrictions and prejudices, making it difficult for them to fully display their talents.
Even if he was the emperor of a country, it would not be easy to completely change these ideas.
After all, the power of this era is tilted towards men. People in high positions and powerful positions only want to control others, and most men regard weak women as their vassals.
Jun Zechen had put a lot of effort into promoting women's freedom to marry, and Su Jingyao had also written many articles related to women in the past few years. Those articles circulated in the market, just for her to show women all over the world, as a queen, that they could make their own choices for the rest of their lives.
After several years of subtle influence, I finally achieved some success.
"What Yaoyao said makes a lot of sense."
"If a country attempts to highlight the greatness of men by oppressing women, it will sooner or later decline. The power of women should not be underestimated. They can play an important role in national development."
"In the beginning, Yaoyao secured the freedom to marry for women all over the world, but this was just the beginning. In order to make women more confident in their marriage choices and to truly implement the freedom to marry, women's self-reliance is the fundamental thing."
“Only when women themselves become stronger can they have more say and autonomy in the world.”
Jun Zechen nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration and recognition.
After Su Jingyao heard this, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Her slightly opened lips and lightly furrowed brows all showed her inner astonishment.
She originally thought that Jun Zechen would hesitate, or even refuse directly. After all, as the emperor, Jun Zechen has always had a strong desire for control.
In such an era where imperial power is supreme, breaking the blockade of the aristocratic families and reorganizing the inherent cognition of men in the world does not seem to be a beneficial move for him.
"Does my husband really want to improve the status of women, or is it because of me?"
Su Jingyao opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of doubt and inquiry in her eyes.
"Yaoyao, do you have a deep misunderstanding of me? Why do you think I have never wanted to improve the status of women?"
Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his deep eyes.
As an emperor, Jun Zechen has been well-read since childhood and has read countless books.
However, the books that are always new to read are history books and military books.
The history books he read not only covered the rise and fall of the current dynasty, but also included precious records handed down from previous dynasties.
The Qin Dynasty, which truly achieved great unification, clearly recorded its unique concept of marriage in the "Hui Ji Inscription".
For example, there is a clear boundary between men and women, and only husband and wife can live in the same room; if a married man goes out to have affairs with other women, his wife can be acquitted if she kills him; if a wife elos again, her children will not recognize her as their mother.
