After more than half an hour, Jun Zechen held her gently and walked to the room with steady steps.
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 nimbly 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 responded with a doting, "Yes."
If she doesn't want to give birth, then 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 of them 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 already used to it and left some space for her master and His Majesty to be alone.
Jun Zechen held her and sat down, unable to help but chuckle, "Are you that tired?"
Su Jingyao leaned softly against him. It was not because she was tired, but the extreme pleasure made her very tired. Looking at the food, she had no appetite at all.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen continued to eat 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 his food, and then take advantage of the warm moment between the two of them to slowly unleash her thoughts.
"My husband punished the Li family today, and indeed punished the tyrant of Yicheng. But what I saw when I went out today was the hardship and difficulty faced by many women."
Her expression was serious and solemn, and her eyes were filled with worry.
"Although the imperial court has never explicitly prohibited women from engaging in commerce, both the legal provisions and the prevailing sentiments of the people harbor a deep hostility towards women."
"It is precisely because of this that the several female shopkeepers of Mingxiang Yige have such a hard time running 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 never looked down on women. In his heart, women's abilities and wisdom were no less than men's. They were just subject to many unreasonable restrictions and prejudices, which made 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, power in 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 were circulated in the market, just to show women all over the world that they could make their own choices for the rest of their lives as a queen.
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."
"Yaoyao initially secured the freedom to marry for women across the world, but this was only the beginning. To empower women in their marriage choices and truly implement freedom of marriage, women's self-reliance is fundamental."
"Only when women themselves become stronger can they have more say and autonomy in the world."
Jun Zechen nodded slightly, his eyes full of admiration and recognition.
After hearing this, Su Jingyao's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Her slightly opened lips and slightly 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 elevate the status of women, or is it because of me?"
Su Jingyao opened her red lips slightly, with a look 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 Stone Inscription".
For example, there is a clear boundary between men and women, and only married couples can live in the same room; if a married man has affairs outside, his wife can be acquitted if she kills him; if a wife elopes again, her children will not recognize her as their mother.
