“Where is she?”
“She’s outside, busy tidying up.”
Jiang Ning nodded.
She quite liked Huang Ying, this girl was smart, steady, and knew how to do things with discretion.
Seeing her sitting there in a small bellyband, Chunlai felt a bit frightened.
“The Prince is welcoming guests in the front yard now, he could come at any time,” she cautiously reminded Jiang Ning, trying her best to get her to put on clothes.
Jiang Ning ate cakes and drank water, “Don’t worry, he won’t come.”
Look at Prince of Yu’s eyes and tone during the day.
He only married her to be a mascot, he would never look at her.
Chunlai was puzzled, “How does the lady know His Highness won’t come?”
“If you were a man, would you want to be with a cripple?”
“Although the lady’s legs are not good, it doesn’t prevent her from having children,” Chunlai frowned, “It’s the first day of the wedding. If His Highness doesn’t come, it would not sound good if it gets out. Tomorrow, the joyous handkerchief still has to be taken to the palace…”
“What joyous handkerchief?”
“That one…” Chunlai’s face turned red, and she whispered, “The one on the bed.”
Jiang Ning glanced back and saw a white handkerchief spread on the bed.
She probably understood.
Although she had heard about it, she didn’t expect there would be such a thing.
It was for verifying whether the new bride was a virgin.
As a modern person, she, of course, understood that not every woman would bleed.
As for the situation in ancient times, the girls were married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and their bodies hadn’t developed yet, so consummation could be harmful.
Naturally, there would be some bleeding.
Jiang Ning despised this thing in her heart, but she knew that this was how the feudal society was, oppressing and hurting women, objectifying them.
In her current state, she probably wouldn’t bleed.
However, it didn’t matter, as Prince of Yu wouldn’t come anyway.
Would she care if she was embarrassed?
There was just one thing, if Prince of Yu didn’t come all this time, how could she put a green hat on him, making him a cuckold?
She was already three months pregnant, but due to her slim build, it was not apparent yet.
However, her belly would eventually grow.
In any case, she had to find a way to make Prince of Yu visit once.
Jiang Ning ate while rubbing her chin in thought.
Soon, Huang Ying finished tidying up and came in. When she saw Jiang Ning’s attire, she paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “You look quite refreshing like this, lady. However, it might be better if you cover yourself when the Prince comes later.”
She handed Jiang Ning a robe and draped it over her shoulders.
Jiang Ning had already cooled down, so she didn’t refuse, smiling and saying, “Thank you for saving me, Sister Huang Ying.”
Huang Ying chuckled, “I’ve said it before, we’re fated. From now on, I’ll stay by the Princess Consort’s side.”
“I wish for nothing more.”
“The Prince will be here soon, you should sit by the bed,” Huang Ying reached out to help her.
Jiang Ning smiled, “Will he really come?”
“Of course, today’s the big day,” Huang Ying helped her back to the bed, coaxing and persuading her to put on her clothes, fix her hair, and put on her veil.
Although it was hot, for sweet and gentle Huang Ying’s sake, Jiang Ning endured it.
As they waited, half an hour, an hour passed…
It was suddenly the Hai hour (9 pm-11 pm).
The noise in the front yard gradually faded away.
The banquet must have ended.
Huang Ying and Chunlai took turns going out to check and wait, but they never saw Prince of Yu’s shadow.
Jiang Ning was already lying on the bed yawning.
That scoundrel Prince of Yu really didn’t come..
