The ST said that there are rules that say that the parents lose Essence when they make kids.

The problem is that we failed at finding the rules for it. I will be happy if someone know the book name and the right page with this rule or in case the rule does not exist I will be happy to know.
There is no rule as to this effect. It just doesn't happen. Exalted do not lose dots of Permanent Essence when they have children.

It could be a misunderstanding of something that is canonical: that Terrestrial Exalted women age much faster if they have children too quickly. More than one child every five years will cause them to shorten their lifetime down to that of a mortal, but I don't recall any hard numbers ever being given. Also, all Exalted have a term of a full 15-month long year rather than 9 months like mortals.

We also tried using google but were not able to find anything but breeding charms.

The story:
My character is going to use the other player character as a breeding mate because both have Legendary Breeding.
I am a daughter of V’neef and he is an adopted DragonBlood in house Tepet and a non legionnaire(he have no way to say no because it will help his house and my character motivation is to make everyone happy and make sure she keep the blood as pure as she can).

We already talked about the fact that the story can go this way before.
The stuff I quoted might be in MoEP: Dragon-Blooded, but I think some of it was actually from Dreams of the First Age. It's been years since I've specifically looked. The character idea looks really cool. Legendary Breeding is going to make both characters Very Big Deals in the Realm. The only other canonical Terrestrial with Legendary Breeding at the current time period is, if I remember correctly, the Scarlet Empress herself.
