Yun Jiao didn’t know initially, but after a year or two of not getting pregnant, she started to feel puzzled. That was when Jiang Youzhi told her he was taking birth control pills.
Yun Jiao had always believed in letting nature take its course when it ca to having children. Since Jiang Youzhi didn’t want her to give birth, she didn’t mind.
After dinner, Jiang Youzhi held Yun Jiao’s hand and returned to their courtyard.
After taking a bath, Jiang Youzhi sent Yang Ying away and closed the door.
Over the past two days on the road, he had been holding back and was a little impatient.
Yun Jiao couldn’t do anything about it. Even at thirty, Jiang Youzhi was still as energetic as a young man, unable to miss a day. Besides nourishing herself, she just had to let him be.
At the traveling palace, the nights were indeed very cool. Jiang Youzhi embraced Yun Jiao and tossed and turned for half the night before sleeping.
In the morning, Jiang Youzhi was full of energy and went off to work.
For the past few months, all the court mos had been sent to the traveling palace for handling.
After Yun Jiao got up and had breakfast, she quietly sat by the window and began writing.
After a short while, Ruru ca with the maid.
Yun Jiao quickly put down her pen and pulled Ruru to her side to ask about her recent als and daily life.
Ruru pouted, "Sister-in-law, I didn’t sleep well last night. I was sharing a room with Jingyi, the Second Princess’s companion reader. She kept needing to change clothes or calling for the maid to bring water. I was woken up twice by her."
"Well, why don’t you co over here to sleep tonight? There’s an empty room here," Yun Jiao said.
Ruru hesitated and shook her head, "Better not, I don’t want them to think I’m being special."
Yun Jiao thought for a mont, "Then co over a bit later, and sister-in-law will make you a sachet. Hang it inside the canopy when you sleep, and you’ll sleep soundly without being easily disturbed. But rember not to put it too close."
"If the room isn’t too big, that girl Jingyi will sleep soundly too."
Ruru brightened up, "I knew sister-in-law would have a solution."
She hugged Yun Jiao and gave her a kiss, "Ruru loves sister-in-law the most."
Yun Jiao kissed her cheek too, "Sister-in-law loves Ruru the most too."
Ruru snuggled in Yun Jiao’s arms for a while, "I’m going back to the other courtyard."
"Even though there’s no class today, if the Third Princess notices I’m gone, she’ll say I’m not acting like her companion reader."
Yun Jiao stroked Ruru’s face, "If you’re not happy being a companion reader, then let’s not do it. Sister-in-law will figure sothing out for you."
Ruru thought for a while, "There are tis I’m unhappy, but there are also tis I’m happy."
"Didn’t you tell last ti that life always has its ups and downs, and when we grow up, there’ll be more unhappy tis."
"I think I’d better continue being a companion reader, or I won’t get to see Brother Hang or play with the Fourth Prince."
Yun Jiao hugged Ruru, "Ruru is so good, she’s grown up."
Ruru rested her head on Yun Jiao’s neck, secretly absorbing her scent.
She loved hugging her sister-in-law the most; her sister-in-law had a faint fragrance, a scent that made her feel at ease.
After acting coquettishly for a while, Ruru took the maid and left.
Yun Jiao closed the door and hurried into the dicine storeroom to find so herbs, asured their weight, found a clean pouch, and put the herbs inside, then sealed it with needle and thread.
After dinner, Ruru indeed ca over.
Qi Er and You Er were there as well, and the kids gathered together, asking Yun Jiao for poker cards, playing "Fight the Landlord" with three people.
