Princess Anning also knew that it was impossible to go out, but she really wanted to see what it was like outside.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up. “Is the
Mid-Autumn Festival in ten days? I heard that there’s a lantern show in the Capital at night. I want to go too! I’ll go and beg my father to see if he can let me out. Qingqing, you have to play with me when the time comes!”
Jian Qingqing nodded. “If you can go out, I’ll definitely accompany you.”
Princess Anning said with determination, “I can definitely do it! I’ll go and beg Imperial Father now! If he doesn’t agree today, I’ll go and bother him every day. I don’t believe he won’t agree!’
With that, she ran off in a hurry.
Jian Qingqing and Liu Jiaojiao were left looking at each other. Liu Jiaojiao laughed and said, “Princess Anning is really interesting.”
“You’re also very interesting,” Jian Qingqing said with a smile.
Liu Jiaojiao felt that Princess Ding’an was really a wonderful person. She was very kind and there was no distance when talking to her, making one feel at ease.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “The 15th of the tenth month is my wedding day, Princess Ding’an, can you attend?”
Jian Qingqing looked at her in surprise and subconsciously blurted out, “You’re married at such a young age?!”
Liu Jiaojiao’s face was slightly red. She nodded and said, “I’m not young anymore, I’m getting married when I’m of age.”
Jian Qingqing still felt that it was a pity. Although she knew that people in this era got married early, this was the first time she had seen a bride who was about to get married.
The Liu Jiaojiao in front of her was soft and tender, with baby fat on her face.
If she were in the modern world, she would be in junior high school. In Jian Qingqing’s eyes, she was still a child. She did not expect her to get married so soon.
However, this was also a common trait of this era, and she could not change anything. She could only wait to give her blessings. “Then, congratulations. I’ll definitely be there on your wedding day.”
Liu Jiaojiao’s face was slightly red as she nodded. She thought for a moment and looked at Jian Qingqing’s sincere face. She could not help but say, “Actually, I don’t want to get married so early. I’m a little scared. My family said that Mr. Wu is a good man, but I’ve never seen him. I really can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with someone I don’t know.”
Jian Qingqing felt that this should be pre-marriage anxiety, but it was normal to be anxious. She did not expect that the women in this era had never even seen the man when they got married, and the whole process was decided by their parents.
“Didn’t your parents arrange for you two to meet?”
Liu Jiaojiao shook her head worriedly, “The elders would have arranged for a private meeting with the man and woman who were engaged, but Mr. Wu had always been at the border. He only came back after the marriage, so I have never seen him.”
Jian Qingqing did not expect this to happen. She asked, “Is he back now? You’re about to get married, so it’s fine to see each other now, right? it’s better than meeting on the wedding night.”
Liu Jiaojiao nodded. “I heard from my father and mother that he came back a few days ago, but he has been very busy these days. I don’t think he has time to meet.”
As she spoke, she could not help but look at Jian Qingqing and ask, “Princess
Ding’an, what would you do if you find that your marriage is not as you wish?”
She did not know why she asked this question, but this question had been in her heart for a long time without anyone to tell. Even if she told her mother, she would find her thinking strange and would never agree with it..
