Li Ji put on his clothes and got out of bed.
He found a small medicine bottle and poured out a pill.
Hua Manman looked at the pill offered to her and asked in a hoarse voice.
"What is this?"
Li Ji explained patiently.
"This is a birth control pill made from a formula provided by Feihua Zhenren.
If you take it, you won't get pregnant for a short while.
It's very gentle and won't harm your body, so you don't have to worry."
Hua Manman took the pill but didn't swallow it right away. Instead, she looked up at Prince Zhao.
"Do you want children?"
Li Ji didn't answer her question directly. "Having children too early would be bad for your health."
Hua Manman thought so too.
'This body is only sixteen. It's not the best age for childbirth.'
Seeing Prince Zhao's natural expression, it was clear he saw no issue with contraception, which put her at ease.
She put the pill in her mouth. 'Even if I can't wait until I'm twenty to have kids, I should at least wait until I'm eighteen.'
