As a pregnant woman, she can’t stay up late!
Xiao Jiu usually has good sleeping habits. Maybe it’s because he has to get up early to go fishing all year round, so he always goes to bed before 10 o’clock.
Aunt Zhang took the hairpin out of her hair, and Xiao Jiu went to the bathroom to wash up.
Ning Meng couldn't help but whisper, "Auntie Zhang, how come this royal family goes straight to the bridal chamber after getting engaged?"
How is it different from her world?
Even in their town, they wouldn't do it this way.
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, because the nobility has inheritance laws that stipulate that a Holy Spirit must be born to inherit the throne. So from that time on, engagement in the aristocratic circle was equivalent to confirming a marriage."
Aunt Zhang leaned close to Ning Meng's ear and said, "The late Empress was engaged first, and only married His Majesty after she became pregnant with the Crown Prince and was diagnosed as a Holy Spirit. But... Alas!"
Fate plays tricks on us.
Ning Meng learned from Zhang Ma that in the past, the royal family had a 10% engagement period and canceling the engagement was not allowed.
Unless one cannot give birth to a child of the Holy Spirit.
The queen tried every possible means before she became pregnant with the prince, and was only made the crown prince after the test was successful 5 months later.
Sadly, she eventually died of illness after giving birth to the prince.
Ning Meng actually felt a little strange when she heard this.
The royal family has many rare treasures. Can't the health deficiency be replenished with precious elixirs?
Why did the queen of a country die in the end just because she gave birth to a child?
Aunt Zhang doesn't know either.
Ning Meng: "Didn't the Crown Princess and the others announce that they would be getting married in the second half of the year? Could she be sure she'd get pregnant in the second half of the year?"
"It's different now. Since the Queen's death, His Majesty has changed the rules. You can get married first and then have children. However, you can't inherit the throne of Queen until you give birth to a Holy Spirit child."
Ning Meng sighed, it really is...
The nobles in this world all rely on their children to succeed to the throne!
I wonder if the late emperor ever thought about how much harm this rule caused to his descendants.
She stared at her belly and wondered if she was not carrying a Holy Spirit baby.
Maybe she would never be found by the royal family, and she would still be living a comfortable and ordinary life.
When he went to bed at night, Xiao Jiu didn't read a book, but just lay straight and flat on his side.
Very peaceful!
No, I'm very honest.
But in the Prince's Mansion next door, those people didn't leave until very late.
Ning Meng closed her eyes and hypnotized herself.
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...
Hundreds of them and still can't sleep.
She turned over and heard Xiao Jiu's low and magnetic voice.
"Can't sleep?"
Ning Meng said "hmm".
How can I sleep with so many people making noise next door?
It might be almost eleven o'clock now. Thinking that the prince will be busy later, I can't help but sigh at their energy.
Xiao Jiu's voice came again, "How about chatting for a while?"
Ning Meng opened her eyes and met his dark brown eyes.
Today is the prince's engagement day, and the lights outside are bright. She is used to opening the window at night, and the light shines in from outside. Xiao Jiu's deep facial features are faintly visible in the hazy light and shadow.
Ning Meng was stunned for a moment and asked softly, "What are you talking about?"
"Do you have someone you like?"
Ning Meng:?
