The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 982: My Wife Must Not Be Overworked

Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao were at the front, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the music stop from afar. In such hot weather, if it continued, it would just get even hotter.Jiang Youzhi saw Yun Jiao’s adorable expression and took the opportunity to give her a quick kiss.

Yun Jiao wiped the saliva off her face and teased, "You kiss me every day, aren’t you tired of it?"

Jiang Youzhi pulled Yun Jiao over forcefully and gave her a playful bite on the cheek, "I’m not tired of it. I can never kiss you enough. When you say things like this, it’s clear you’re annoyed with me!"

As he spoke, he began tickling Yun Jiao.

In the light summer clothes, Yun Jiao was naturally ticklish, and she started giggling and twisting her body to dodge, "Stop it—"

The Duke in the carriage ahead had a blank expression, pretending not to hear the giggles of his daughter-in-law behind him.

You Er and Qi Er exchanged a glance, both pondering in their minds what was making their mother (Aunt Gu) so happy.

Yun Jiao quickly realized she was making too much noise, and gritted her teeth tightly, "Don’t tickle me, I’m ticklish, boo-hoo—" she said, almost bursting into tears.

Jiang Youzhi coaxed her as he stopped and wiped the sweat off her, pulling her into his arms.

It took a full three days to cover the over two hundred li road, arriving at Dangu Mountain Palace at dusk on the third day.

Dangu Mountain Palace is located at the foot of the mountain, encompassing the Crescent Lake within the palace grounds.

Many courtyards were built along the lakeside, following the undulating mountain terrain.

However, no matter how many courtyards there are, it’s still a case of too many monks and too little porridge.

The Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress each certainly occupy their own courtyard.

The Imperial Concubine also took a courtyard, while the other concubines who came along shared courtyards, two to one.

Jiang Youzhi was the only one who brought his family, and to accommodate him, the Emperor had specifically instructed Eunuch Liu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allocate a courtyard for the couple.

The Duke also got a small courtyard, right next to theirs.

The other Princes and their study companions stayed in one large courtyard with two entrances, and the Princesses also stayed in two-entrance courtyards with their study companions. Most of their palace maids and eunuchs had to crowd together in dormitory-style bedding.

The officials who came along, needless to say, shared courtyards, and the lower-ranking officials even shared rooms.

The traveling palace had palace maids and eunuchs arranged in advance.

The courtyard allocated to Yun Jiao and her family was spotlessly clean, with new bamboo mats and mosquito nets already laid on the beds.

A young eunuch brought over a food box, and Jiang Youzhi had someone carry it, joining the Duke and the two children next door for the meal.

Ruru sent a maid over, saying she would come to see them tomorrow.

After dinner, Yun Jiao planned to take Qi Er and You Er to sleep in the courtyard next door, but the Duke wouldn’t allow it, "Sleep here; moving clothes and luggage is troublesome."

"We’re close enough; they can go over to play."

The Duke had been contemplating something recently, wondering why their young couple hadn’t given him any more grandchildren when You Er was already eight years old.

Of course, he wouldn’t allow Qi Er and You Er to disturb them.

After Yun Jiao went out with the two children, the Duke subtly expressed his thoughts to Jiang Youzhi, saying it would be nice to have a few more children in the family to make it lively.

Jiang Youzhi just gave a vague reply.

He’s been taking medicine personally made by his father-in-law, precisely because he doesn’t want Yun Jiao to get pregnant.

He feels that having You Er to carry on the family name is enough. Childbearing is too tiring, and he doesn’t want to exhaust his wife.

In the future, he plans to find You Er a wife early and have her bear several children instead.
