Everyone in the venue was still waiting.
Everyone was asking what had happened to the Emperor's wife.
But the maids' answers were always ambiguous and they never revealed it to them.
After waiting for half an hour, His Majesty and the Prince finally arrived.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Something unexpected happened and I'm late. I have an announcement to make today: the ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Grandson's wife is cancelled."
Everyone must be curious about why it was cancelled, because the child in her belly is Prince Xiao's, which is indeed a misunderstanding...but fortunately, it is also our royal heir!"
After His Majesty said this, he felt far less relaxed in his heart than he appeared to be.
Although he was happy that the child was his younger brother, God knew how complicated and sad he felt when his own grandson was suddenly gone.
When everyone heard the news, they were all surprised.
"What? She's pregnant with Prince Xiao's child!"
It took a long time for everyone to digest this shocking news.
Nangong Yan's expression suddenly changed, thinking of what happened a few months ago, and then she asked with a twitch of her lips, "Where is Prince Xiao now? He didn't show up for such a big event, so we can congratulate him."
Xuan Tianhe shook his head. "He had an urgent matter in his fiefdom, and he has already left the palace with his child's mother."
Thinking of his brother just now, who insisted on taking away his nephew's unconscious mother, as if he thought the palace would bully her, he decided to take her away.
Anyway, he is no longer his grandson!
Nangong Yan immediately said, "Then Your Majesty, I'll give the position of Crown Princess to someone else. A forced marriage is not sweet. Your Highness is unwilling to accept it, and there are so many sisters waiting for you. I'll return this jade pendant to you."
Nangong Yan directly stuffed the jade pendant back to Xuan Mingze, regardless of whether he was willing to take it or not.
Xuan Mingze suddenly became angry. "What do you mean? Am I someone you can have whenever you want or not?"
This is too much!
Today he was abandoned by two women at the same time.
Nangong Yan, "Alas! I know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me either, but I'm just trying to help you. You can even choose a noblewoman you like to be your Crown Princess. How wonderful! Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now!"
Nangong Yan simply slipped away.
Leaving everyone staring at each other in amazement.
What’s going on? No one else wants to be the Crown Princess.
Xuan Tianhe had a bitter face, "Ze'er, choose a Crown Princess for yourself, just choose the one you like."
Anyway, those who can enter the venue are all ladies from noble families. Now he doesn't want to interfere and lets his son choose freely.
It would be a good thing if she could get pregnant with his missing grandson.
The ladies began to look forward to it again, as the opportunity could once again fall upon them.
Choose her, choose her!
Xuan Mingze looked around and finally handed the jade pendant directly to Jiang Xingyue.
Jiang Xingyue's eyes lit up, and she took it with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The palace emcee called out, "Jiang Xingyue of the Jiang family has been selected as the Crown Princess."
Jiang Xingyue was overjoyed. Today was really fantastic. She thought she had no chance of becoming the Crown Princess, but she didn't expect that the position would fall into her hands in the end.
She finally brought honor to the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang was also smiling happily behind them. Finally, their Jiang family finally married into the royal family, although the process was not so pleasant.
But she always only cares about the results.
The banquet ended and everyone dispersed.
When Jiang Xingyue and Mrs. Jiang were about to leave, Xuan Mingze stopped them.
Madam Jiang: "I wonder if Your Highness has anything else to say?"
Xuan Mingze smiled lightly, "Your Jiang family, do you have another happy event today?"
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xingyue looked at each other in confusion.
What's the meaning?
"Bring Miss Jiang Ling up here."
…
Ning Meng had a very long dream.
In her dream, she felt that she was in a place where birds were singing and flowers were blooming, where the sun was gentle and bright, and the weather was beautiful.
She lay quietly on the large green lawn, thinking she had arrived in heaven, but when she turned her head and saw a baby a few months old crawling towards her not far away, she knew.
I might be dreaming.
"Who are you?"
On the baby's round little face, two bright big eyes were like inlaid purple-black gems, and the little mouth was slightly open under the small nose. He didn't cry or make a fuss, but just lay beside her and stared at her.
Ning Meng suddenly felt sad and tears came to her eyes.
"Are you my baby?"
He still didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Ning Meng sat up, hugged him in her arms, and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She said sorry three times.
Tears flow like they are free.
She failed to protect her children, and she failed to protect herself.
It's really useless!
The baby in her arms finally spoke, babbling something, and used his chubby little hands to wipe Ning Meng's tears, then smiled and threw himself into her arms.
Ning Meng cried out "wah".
The tears flowed directly into her ears, waking her up immediately.
Thinking of her dream and looking at the furnishings of this strange and luxurious room, it seemed as if she was still in this world, and Ning Meng began to cry again.
“Woo…”
She really felt wronged.
"Ma'am, you're awake. Did you have a nightmare?"
The strange middle-aged maid, along with two young maids, hurried to the bedside and asked about the situation with concern.
Ning Meng stopped crying immediately. She felt that these maids looked unfamiliar, and then she looked at the surrounding decoration, which seemed to be a little different from the imperial palace.
"Where am I? My child..." Ning Meng put her hands on her belly. Is her child still there?
The middle-aged maid smiled kindly, "Madam, the child is fine, the young master is still alive. This is the Duke's Mansion in Shengxuan Province. I am the wet nurse responsible for your daily life. You can call me Aunt Zhang."
Ning Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the child was still there.
But when he heard that it was Sheng Xuanzhou, he became alert.
"Why am I in Shengxuanzhou?"
Didn’t she jump into the lake from the bridge outside the palace?
Aunt Zhang explained with a smile, "Because you are pregnant with our Duke's child, our Duke is Prince Xiao. The royal family made a mistake."
"And don't be nervous. Our Duke hasn't married yet. From now on, you will be the mistress of this Duke's Mansion. No other woman will threaten your status and that of your child. And @#%... Anyway, our Duke is a truly wonderful man."
Aunt Zhang was praising the Duke as if he were a banished immortal.
Ning Meng finally figured out her current situation.
Wow, when I woke up, my child’s father had changed!
Prince Xiao, the Emperor's younger brother and Xuan Mingze's uncle.
Doesn't that mean... Ning Meng quickly asked, "How old is your Duke this year?"
Aunt Zhang smiled kindly, "Our Duke is very young, only... 80 years old."
Ning Meng lay back down instantly, closed her eyes, and felt like she had no desire to live.
What! He's already 80 years old, and that's all?
At this age, he could be her grandfather!
It seems that dream was really just a dream...
