"When do you sleep?"
Ning Meng asked Xiao Jiu while pressing the headlight switch, as if she would turn off the light in an instant if he said he wanted to go to bed now.
It's already 10 o'clock in the evening, and she usually goes to bed at this time.
"Turn it off, I'll go to sleep."
Bang!
In the entire room, except for the small lamp on the bedside table and the warm light indicator in the corner, everything else was off.
Ning Meng lay down directly in the quilt, and Xiao Jiu also lay down and turned off the light on the bedside table.
The two people were lying there one meter apart, peacefully.
Ning Meng thought that she would definitely suffer from insomnia if there was suddenly another person beside the bed, a man at that. She kept mentally preparing herself, thinking that there was nothing to be afraid of, as they were already pregnant.
And just treat him as a woman.
After thinking for a while, she yawned, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Jiu turned his head to look at her and curled his lips. In fact, his eyes could see very clearly at night.
It was kind of funny to see her initially laying down with a defensive expression towards him, then slowly letting go and falling asleep in a split second.
Also lay down and fell asleep.
…
At night, they just cover themselves with blankets and sleep, while others spend a long and noisy night.
After all the trouble, Jiang Ling's face turned red and her eyes were watery.
Jiang Jing smoothed her hair and said, "Tomorrow, talk to her more and get her contact information. Try to become her close friend quickly. You're both pregnant, so you should have a lot of common topics to talk about. That way, I can smoothly implement our cooperation plan."
"Miss Xingyue is about to become the Crown Princess, isn't she? Why do you still want me to get close to her?"
Jiang Ling looked out the window and asked. In fact, she really didn't understand why the richer people were, the more unsatisfied they were and the more they wanted to get more.
The Earl's Mansion already has a Crown Princess, and he also has the Earl's fiefdom and land to manage. Isn't that enough for him? He wants to use her and Ning Meng to get close to him.
In fact, she and Ning Meng were just pitiful people who shared the same suffering and were controlled by men. She did not want to turn this superficial relationship into one of exploitation.
Jiang Jing saw Jiang Ling's reluctance, so he said, "The distance between the Crown Princess and the Queen is still a long way off! Do you know that most of the wealth of the Xuansheng Kingdom is in the hands of Prince Xiao? You just need to become friends with the mother of his child. I'm not asking you to harm her."
"This is also for the consideration of our Earl's Mansion and the future of our children, understand?"
After Jiang Jing finished speaking, his expression turned gloomy, as if he would get angry if Jiang Ling didn't agree.
Jiang Ling nodded slightly, "Okay!"
In fact, she was a little afraid of the man in front of her, and always felt that his usually kind and elegant face was fake.
Every time he looked at her, she didn't dare to refuse.
"Again."
Jiang Jing was about to start again, but Jiang Ling gently pushed him away and whispered, "I'm still pregnant, I can't be too..."
"It's okay, you're stable, I'll be gentle."
It was a tone that brooked no refusal.
…
The next morning at 6:40.
Ning Meng was awakened by Zhang Ma's knock on the door.
She opened her eyes impatiently and met an enlarged handsome face. His brown eyes were looking at her with a little interest. At this moment, her eyes and Xiao Jiu's were only 1CM apart.
"ah!"
She was startled and quickly rolled away from him.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
Aunt Zhang’s voice came from outside.
"It's okay, I'm awake." Ning Meng turned her head and glanced at Xiao Jiu, "Why didn't you push me away to wake me up last night?"
She had crossed the line and was sleeping sideways with her head resting on his pillow.
Xiao Jiu was speechless and showed the scratches on his arm.
"Look, I wanted to move you last night, but you grabbed me several times. If I woke you up again, what do you think you would do?"
Ning Meng glanced at the scratches and lowered her head feeling a little guilty.
If I wake her up, I might beat her up and kick her. By the way, did she catch anyone last night?
How come I have no impression?
I only remember being chased and entangled by a giant snake in my dream, and then she used her Nine Yin White Bone Claw to grab it fiercely several times.
"I'm sorry! I often have nightmares at night, and I accidentally hurt you! I'll ask Aunt Zhang to give you some medicine later."
Xiao Jiu didn't take it to heart, so he got up and went to the fitting room to change clothes before going out.
Ning Meng finally changed into the light yellow dress and asked Xiaofang and the others to help with her styling and makeup. They are also great stylists.
After a while, Aunt Zhang and Xiaoli came in and looked at Ning Meng with ambiguous smiles on their faces.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhang Ma and Xiao Li shook their heads again, "Nothing, hehe!"
Ning Meng always felt that the atmosphere between them was weird, and Xiaofang told her to ignore them.
Today Ning Meng asked Xiaofang to do her hair in a bun. Today was an important occasion, and everyone was doing the same, so she didn't want to make any special arrangements and just followed the local customs.
It’s better to let Xiaofang comb her hair to make it more fluffy so as not to pull on her scalp.
It is similar to her modern Korean style, and she accessorizes it with pearl and gemstone earrings and a necklace.
When Xiao Jiu came in again, he took a few more glances and said seriously, "I always feel like something is missing."
Ning Meng also finished putting on the last pearl and gemstone headdress on her head. She turned around and asked in confusion, "What's missing?"
She felt that her wrists, neck, ears, and hair were all covered with jewels.
What else could be missing?
Xiao Jiu smiled lightly, took out a small black box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg.
Then, under Ning Meng's surprised gaze, he gently took her hand and put his middle finger into hers, "Now, it's not bad."
Ning Meng was suddenly at a loss. She wanted to pull off the ring, but he held her down again.
"You, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jiu curled his lips: "Nothing, I just feel like there's something missing on your finger."
Aunt Zhang and Xiaoli were so anxious watching this. They wondered if the young couple could stop doing this.
One pretends not to know, and the other does not give a direct answer.
We still have to rely on them.
The two looked at each other and immediately said, "Oh, Xiaoli, I'm old now. I've forgotten what the meaning of giving a ring is?"
"Oh, the main prop I see in proposal scenes on TV is a ring!"
"So our Duke, does this count as a proposal?"
"Well, that definitely counts!"
Ning Meng looked at the two people who were deliberately talking loudly beside her, and her face suddenly turned red.
You guys, could you please stop talking like that?
Xiao Jiu coughed lightly, interrupting Zhang Ma and Xiao Li's impromptu performance, "Let's go have breakfast."
Ning Meng immediately felt rescued and followed Xiao Jiu to the restaurant.
The time arrived at 8:30 in the morning.
Jiang Xingyue was also dressed up at this moment, wearing a crown on her head, and her white waist-length diamond dress was scattered on the ground. Everyone in the Jiang family sat in the hall, waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and pick them up.
Starting at 9 o'clock, the parade will go directly from the most prosperous Xuanling Street to the Imperial Palace.
There will be a lot of live coverage from official media on the scene.
Therefore, Jiang Xingyue must not make any mistakes today.
She must be perfect today.
