Although the Crown Prince's marriage was arranged early, it was not completed until he was eighteen years old.

During this period, Xue Jiaojiao and the Crown Prince were not in a hurry, but the members of the Xue family were all anxious.

Which prince is still not married at the age of seventeen?

The royal family is dragging their feet like this, could it be that they have changed their minds and don’t want to marry Xue Jiaojiao anymore?

Xue Zhenshan was also a little nervous and asked Xue Jiaojiao in a roundabout way.

Xue Jiaojiao became impatient: "Dad, we are not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

Xue Zhenshan was so depressed that he couldn't say anything. He could only stare at his daughter: I'm not in a hurry. Isn't it because you are too stupid and that person is too smart?

I’m afraid that my silly girl will be tricked and won’t even know anything.

Fortunately, after the Crown Prince’s 18th birthday, the wedding date was finally set.

In order to show their importance to this marriage, the Xue family gave half of the family property of the head of the Xue family as a dowry.

Xue Jiaojiao looked at the thick dowry list and was dumbfounded: "Dad, this is too much, right? Can't we live like this?"

Xue Zhenshan glared at his daughter and said, "What do you know? You are marrying into the royal family."

"The amount of the dowry represents how much the Xue family is willing to pay for you..."

In fact, Xue Zhenshan felt that 90% of the family property should be given as dowry.

After all, 90% of the family's current wealth was earned after becoming an imperial merchant. This was gained through Xue Jiaojiao's relationship with the crown prince...

But there was more than one daughter, Xue Jiaojiao, in the family. There were many other children, so he had to consider those children a little, so he only gave half of it.

The wedding was not lavish and the wedding banquet was held in two parts.

The groom's guests were mainly court officials and royal family members, all of whom were in the palace and the banquet started at noon.

The bride’s guests were mainly merchants and people from the underworld, and they were all placed outside the palace and the banquet was held in the evening.

Everyone thought that the royal family made this arrangement because they looked down on merchants.

This is normal, after all, the other party is a royal family.

Some people secretly ridiculed them, some gloated over their misfortune, and some felt sorry for the Xue family.

But who would have thought that when the bride's family started the banquet in the evening, the prince and his wife came with their four children.

The Xue family was flattered and the guests were also shocked.

Although they only sat for a while, toasted with a glass of wine and left, everyone was still surprised by the royal family's attention to the Xue family.

Xue Jiaojiao knew that this was all Wangwang's work. She looked at Wangwang with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your thoughtful consideration."

To save the Xue family's face.

The eighteen-year-old Crown Prince smiled brightly: "Want to thank me?"

"Um."

"Then drink this bowl of medicine first."

Xue Jiaojiao looked at the dark medicine and resisted instinctively: "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Contraceptive soup."

Xue Jiaojiao's expression changed: "You..."

The Crown Prince patted her head helplessly: "What are you thinking about?"

"You have been in Yingchun Academy for several years. Have you ever heard my great-aunt talk about the best age for a woman to get pregnant?"

"You are still young now. Let's wait two years before having a child. It will be better for your health."

Xue Jiaojiao's expression eased a little, but she still looked embarrassed: "I don't want to drink bitter medicine every day!"

The Crown Prince patiently coaxed him, "This medicine was specially prepared by the Imperial Hospital. One bowl of medicine lasts for a year."

"After you drink this bowl of medicine, you won't have to drink it again within a year."

Xue Jiaojiao was finally relieved and took the medicine obediently.

"My lady, the night is too short..."

When Hong Lang was overturned, the old nanny guarding outside the door sighed silently: The Crown Prince really has good intentions.

Is there any woman in this world who can have contraceptive soup that will last for a whole year just by drinking one sip?

It was obvious that the Crown Prince asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for long-acting contraceptive pills, and he was also worried that the Crown Princess would be infertile for a year and feel burdened.

He specially prepared a bowl of tonic for the Crown Princess to drink, and lied to her that it was a long-acting contraceptive soup for women.

In this way, it would be normal for the Crown Princess not to be pregnant this year, and she wouldn't be suspicious and anxious...

What a good plan! What a good method!

…

The Crown Prince and his wife were in harmony and deeply in love, and everyone's eyes fell on Miao Miao again.

Princess Yue is already eighteen years old, but she is neither engaged nor has anyone arranged for her to be engaged.

In the past two years, everyone believed that Princess Yue would definitely marry the King of Nangan.

After all, after the civil strife was quelled in Nangan, His Royal Highness Prince Xin united all the officials and respectfully invited Prince Yuan to ascend the throne.

But King Yuan refused to return to Nangan. He asked King Xin to take over the position of king remotely, saying that he wanted to stay in Tianwu to study for a few more years.

Everyone could see that he wanted to wait for Princess Yue to agree to the marriage before taking Princess Yue back to Nan'an.

But Princess Yue didn't say anything about this.

Seeing that the matter was being delayed again and again and Prince Xin had urged him several times, the King of Nannan could only muster up the courage to block Princess Yue's way in the palace.

"Miaomiao, I'm going back to Nan'an. Are you willing to..." marry me?

He was the king of a country, but standing in front of Miaomiao, he was as humble as a child asking for candy, looking at her eagerly with pleading in his eyes.

Miaomiao smiled slightly: "Brother Yuan, I told you three years ago that I would never get married in this life."

"You are the king of a country. Even for Nan'an, you need to get married and have children. It's impossible for you and me."

"You should go back to Nan'an. You will find your true love there."

After saying this, Miaomiao patted Yuaner on the shoulder and turned away.

Yuan'er stared blankly at Miaomiao as she walked away. Every cell in his body was screaming, "Hold her! Hold her!" But his feet seemed to have taken root, standing still and not daring to chase after her...

A tall and handsome man walked over from not far away: "Why don't you catch up with him, Lord?"

Yuan Er turned around, looked at the person next to him and sighed: "Shi Yun..."

Yoona has grown up and become a handsome young man.

As Prince Xin grew in power and became the Prince Regent, he, as the eldest son of Prince Xin's Mansion, was destined to become the right-hand man of the Lord of Nannan.

Unless he wants to rebel.

But he grew up in the Tianwu capital over the years, and he knew very well that if he rebelled, the Tianwu princes and princesses who grew up with him would not support him.

So he wisely chose "assist".

Even though he clearly saw that the current ruler of Nan'an was indecisive and lacked confidence.

But so what?

With the powerful Tianwu royal family as a backing, being indecisive is considered to be a sign of loyalty and righteousness.

It's not uncommon to lack self-confidence.

Everyone would lack confidence in front of Tianwu's several evil-looking princes and princesses.

"She said that she would never get married in this life." The young King of Nan'an lowered his head to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Prince Xin patted his arm and said, "What's wrong with that?"

"She only said she didn't want to get married, but she didn't say she didn't want to have children."

The Lord of Nan'an looked at the Prince of Xin in shock: "How could you think so..."

Prince Xin nodded, as if it was a matter of course: "Why not?"

"As long as you are willing and she is willing, then it will be possible."

"You and she are both high-ranking figures, so why should you care about what others think?"

Although this statement is shocking in the Tianwu time and space, the King of Nan'an and the Prince of Xin grew up with the five sons of the Fu family.

In the Earth culture that the five sons of the Fu family often talk about, there is no necessary connection between marriage and having children.

They were also greatly affected.

The Lord of Nan'an was madly moved...

He lowered his head and thought: How about finding a chance to ask Miaomiao?

Also because of Miaomiao’s marriage issue, Zhan Yunfu found Xiao Yingchun again. After some questioning, Xiao Yingchun could only find Miaomiao again to confirm.

"Miaomiao, if you don't want to find a partner in Tianwu Spacetime, why don't you stay on Earth more?"

"You also know the customs here. You hang out outside all the time, and the women outside have seen too many of you, and you must be influenced by them."

Miaomiao looked indifferent: "Is it bad to be affected?"

"Haven't you always advocated that Tianwu women should be able to live independently and not rely on men to survive?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded helplessly: "Yes, of course I support women's ability to live independently."

"But if everyone doesn't get married and have children, it will affect Tianwu's fertility rate..."

"If no one has children, there will be no one left in Tianwu, and the country will be destroyed, right?"

Miaomiao: "..." (End of this chapter)
