Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

"What's the matter, just ask."

"Last night..." After only saying two words, the redness on Jiang Yan's face had spread to the roots of her ears, and she couldn't say any more.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Last night was your wedding night, I know that."

Jiang Yan's face turned even redder, as bright as a small sunset.

She choked for a long time, then said coyly: "I will follow him...no, not that..."

"What?"

"Just...just consummate the marriage."

"Why? Are you menstruating?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.

"No, not at all." Jiang Yan's chin almost touched her chest, her voice was like a mosquito, "The prince said he was tired, and he would lead his troops to go on an expedition the next day. He had to conserve his strength, so he couldn't..."

"Excuse." Jiang Ning said.

"Excuse?" Jiang Yan raised her head with confusion in her eyes, "What he said is the truth. Why did Seventh Sister say he was an excuse?"

"Yesterday he just walked around and drank two glasses of wine with the guests. He was not asked to build the river embankment or carry the big bags. Why is he too tired to move? Besides, leading troops to go on an expedition is not about fighting today. This is We still have to be delayed for two months on the road!"

"Then why did he..." The redness on Jiang Yan's face quickly faded and she became a little paler, and she asked in a low voice, "Seventh sister, could it be that the prince dislikes me, so he doesn't want to touch me?"

"I can't say that. Maybe..."

"Maybe what?" Jiang Yan looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Ning paused and said, "Did you know that King Zhao once served as a hostage in the Silla Kingdom for a year?"

"I know this." Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly.

"He suffered many severe tortures throughout the year."

"I can imagine." Jiang Yan bit her lip.

"It is said that he has countless wounds on his body, new wounds piled on top of old wounds, densely packed, with almost no intact skin." Jiang Ning pondered, "So I was thinking... maybe he is shy to see people, or maybe he doesn't want to be scared. you?"

Jiang Yan felt a little heartbroken and whispered: "How could I be afraid? Since I married him, I will accept him no matter what he looks like. He... is so stupid."

"I'm just guessing. I'm not sure what the specific reason is. This battle will take a year and a half anyway. Fortunately, time flies by. When he comes back, you will have plenty of time to get to know each other well."

"Well." Jiang Yan raised her handkerchief and wiped her eyes with a smile on her face, "Actually, I have been feeling very uncomfortable since last night. But after talking to you, Seventh Sister, I feel much more relaxed. Seventh Sister, It's so kind of you."

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "You have been with Fifth Sister for a long time, and your relationship is better. Your Prince Zhao's Palace and her Earl's Palace are also close to each other. Why don't you go to her to find some answers?"

Jiang Yan sighed: "Oh, the fifth sister married into the Earl's Mansion, but she was actually not that comfortable looking at the scenery. The Earl's Mansion has very strict rules. She had to go to her mother-in-law in the morning, noon and night to set the rules and serve the dishes. At the end of the day, my legs are swollen from standing, and I can’t think of anything else.”

Jiang Ning said: "The little Earl's Palace dares to take advantage of the girls of our Jiang family, but it is quite courageous."

"Who says it's not the case? But serving the parents-in-law is also a daughter-in-law's duty, so we can't say anything. The most important thing is that the fifth sister herself refuses to ask her family to vent her anger, saying that she is afraid of the relationship between the husband and wife. A rift arises."
