Ning Meng saw the two of them walking in arm in arm, accompanied by several photographers and etiquette officers.
I suddenly felt a little nervous, and Xiao Jiu next to me looked at me to tell me not to worry.
Later, the Jiang family members were also invited in. After paying their respects to His Majesty and Xiao Jiu, they were seated on the chairs to His Majesty's right.
Relatives from both sides were present. The relatives on the royal side were mainly composed of the elders and some senior officials who had ties with the royal family.
On the other side sat the Jiang family members, while the Crown Prince and Crown Princess stood in the middle of the hall.
However, when Ning Meng saw the head of the Jiang family, Earl Xiling, he immediately felt that he looked familiar.
She wasn't the only one who looked familiar. Jiang Shenshen also felt familiar when he saw her for the first time. He asked Song Qian in a low voice.
"Have we met the future princess there before?"
Song Qian looked proudly at Ning Meng who was sitting in front of her, then smiled and shook her head, "I haven't seen her."
It's just a little familiar, but the world is so big, there are more than one person who looks familiar.
Aunt Jiang, who was standing next to them, heard what they said and looked at the princess deeply with a puzzled look in her eyes. She also felt that she looked a little familiar.
Maybe this commoner princess looks more approachable.
Jiang Ling glanced at Ning Meng, who was wearing beautiful jewelry, and Prince Xiao, who was young and handsome, standing next to her, and felt that it was a bit ironic.
She felt sorry for Ning Meng yesterday because she was even worse off than her.
The child’s father has changed from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to an 80-year-old middle-aged prince.
She also believed the rumors on the Internet that Prince Xiao was a cold-blooded old man who was only planning to marry her because he didn't want his child to be an illegitimate child.
But what about now?
I feel very sad and complicated inside. You originally thought that someone was born like you and fell into the abyss at the same time, but in the end, you found that she fell into a warm and wealthy nest, while you fell into a cold and wolfish nest.
Let me ask you, can you maintain mental balance?
Jiang Ling shook her head and kept warning herself in her heart: Don't think about it, you are doing well now. As long as the test shows that the baby in your belly is a Holy Spirit by the end of this month, everything will be better.
At this time, the master of ceremonies shouted: "Now, please invite the two newlyweds to pay their respects to His Majesty and recognize their relationship."
Xuan Mingze and Jiang Xingyue took the red silk ribbons handed to them by the maid, and presented them to Xuan Tianhe with both hands, bowing slightly in salute.
"Hello, Father."
"Very good! You two must quickly expand the royal family."
Xuan Tianhe smiled and agreed to take it, and asked someone to give each of them a big red envelope.
There really is a red envelope as big as a file bag.
Ning Meng was a little curious about what was inside, and netizens were also curious.
【Guess what gift His Majesty gave? 】
"I'm guessing it's a tax contract or some land. Anyway, the Crown Princess has become wealthy, so the royal family's dowry will be substantial."
"Am I the only commoner who feels this day is truly eye-opening? How come the royal engagement ceremony is even more grand than our wedding?"
[That is of course related to our royal family's inheritance law. After the royal family holds an engagement ceremony, it is basically the same as a wedding.
It's impossible to cancel the engagement. The emperors of the past would get engaged first, and then get married after she got pregnant with the current emperor. They will still do that tonight...
[The above person is talking nonsense. The current Crown Princess will definitely not be the same as the previous Empress. According to gossip, their wedding date has been chosen, and it will be at the end of this year.]
[That's right, the strongest prince's bloodline has already been inherited. It's only a matter of time before the Crown Princess becomes pregnant with His Royal Highness's bloodline.]
[Look, it's time to recognize Prince Xiao. I want to see his and the future princess' true faces. Hehe.]
The master of ceremonies said, "Pay your respects to Prince Xiao and acknowledge him as your relative."
The two of them held the same red ribbon in their hands and came in front of Xiao Jiu and Ning Meng.
Two photographers also followed here.
Ning Meng carefully glanced at the live broadcast on the screen and found that the photographer was only filming Xuan Mingze and Jiang Xingyue, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Meng is not a princess yet, so the emcee only announced Xiao Jiu's name.
Xuan Mingze and Jiang Xingyue approached, bowing their heads slightly as they saluted, "Hello, Uncle."
Xiao Jiu did not take the red ribbon immediately, but said calmly: "Yes, and your imperial aunt."
Jiang Xingyue lowered her eyes and was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the prince would defend the future commoner princess so much.
But they haven't even gotten engaged or married yet, and they're being asked to call her "Empress Aunt"?
Xuan Tianhe laughed, "Haha, yes, and your Imperial Aunt."
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had spoken, Jiang Xingyue could only look up, smiling and calling out softly, "Hello, Auntie!"
Xuan Mingze's eyes twitched, and he finally had to call out, "Hello, Auntie Huang."
Then Xiao Jiu gestured to Ning Meng to take the red ribbon together.
Ning Meng was speechless about his behavior, but she didn't prepare any gifts in advance!
Just when she was in trouble, Xiao Jiu handed her a larger box and asked her to deliver it.
Ning Meng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then handed the box to Jiang Xingyue with both hands. The photographer next to her also took a picture of this scene.
But cleverly, only the scene of the Crown Princess taking the box with both hands while smiling was captured.
Then, the pigeon egg-sized diamond ring on Ning Meng's delicate hand also appeared on the camera, sparkling with light.
Ning Meng withdrew her hand and glanced at the live broadcast on the stage. Fortunately, these photographers were quite honest. If they said her face would not be in the camera, then it really would not be in the camera.
But netizens were furious.
[Wow! Prince Xiao's deep, magnetic voice sounds so youthful and sexy, and that overbearing, protective look on his face! I can guarantee he's definitely not the old man the internet says he is.]
The etiquette officer is also incompetent. He didn't even bother to announce it when the future princess was already sitting there, and he still needed our prince to remind him. He might be replaced next time.
Am I the only one blinded by the princess's pigeon egg ring? Such a large diamond, how much would it cost? And her hands are so beautiful, she can't be as ugly as the rumors online, right?
[You're not the only one. I just checked and found out that this big diamond is actually the Pure Love Heart that was auctioned off for 1.98 billion yuan a while ago.]
[Oh my god! He's so extravagant! He's truly the most extravagant man in the world. So damn handsome! Why isn't he pointing the camera at the princess? I want to see what kind of handsome face it takes to win over our prince.]
[Don't even think about it. Prince Xiao doesn't like to show up in public, and his child's mother definitely won't let you see her.]
Netizens were disappointed, roared, and lay down in dismay.
If you have the ability, please take a picture of the prince and princess. They have been waiting so hard, but you don’t even satisfy their curiosity.
Does anyone know the photographers here? I need their addresses in three minutes. I want to crawl over there tonight and ask, "Is the prince handsome and the princess beautiful?"
Then the prince and Jiang Xingyue recognized their relatives as Jiang family members.
After the ceremony, Xuan Tianhe asked someone to give Ning Meng a large red envelope as well, and said with a fake smile:
"This is a gift from me to my brother and sister-in-law. You guys like it."
