Chapter 213: Extra twenty-four after marriage. How many children should the prince have?

Ni Ruo really didn't expect Xiahou Kong to be careful even Lord Yan, so there was nothing to say.

Xing Lu had a good eye and said that she would go back to Nanxiangyuan first and leave the space for the two of them, so she left first.

Ni Ruo held Xiahou Kong's hand and rubbed his fingertips on the back of his hand, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

What's wrong? Xiahou Kong asked, thinking she had something to discuss

It's nothing, just sigh, it's really hard to live in a princely and noble family. You were born in the royal family, and it must have been even harder to live... Ni Ruo lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the back of his wide hand

Before getting married, she just heard Xiahou Kong talk about his life experience lightly. Today, she heard Xi Yan's statement and realized that the intrigues between the princes and noble families are so close to her.

How did Xiahou Kong live in a life of enduring discrimination? This was something she could not imagine with a simple family background. She suddenly felt sorry for him.

Xiahou Kong turned his wrist and held Ni Ruo's soft little hand, comforting him, it's all over, those things will not happen in Prince Jing'an's Mansion

After pausing, Xiahou Kong asked again, did Xi Yan tell you something?

Ni Ruo retelled what Xi Yan said word for word to Xiahou Kong. After hearing this, Xiahou Kong pondered for a few seconds and said, "As long as we do not violate the court regulations, we have no right and no need to ask about what Xi Yan said, you should just listen to it, don't take it to heart."

Yes, Ni Ruo nodded

……

A few days later, Xi Yan came to Jing'an Prince's Mansion to find Ni Ruo as usual

This time, she's here to send an invitation

Her eldest brother had a son not long ago, and the full moon wine was coming a few days later. She came to send a full moon wine invitation to Xiahou Kong.

When Xi Yan's eldest brother got the third legitimate son this time, Ni Ruo couldn't help but be curious and asked him how many children he had. Xi Yan's answer surprised her two legitimate sons, one legitimate daughter, five concubine sons, and three concubine daughters.

Ni Ruo asked Xi Yan's elder brother again, and was shocked to learn that he was two years older than Xiahou Kong, so he asked, do the aristocratic young men of this age in the imperial city have so many children?

Xi Yan recalled and said, "It's Ah, the princes and nobles have many wives and concubines." My eldest brother has one wife and four concubines. If he is like Prince Jing'an, he will have at least five descendants."

Ni Ruo's face became even more intense when he heard this

No wonder An Shirui's parents were so anxious about his marriage. He was four years younger than Xiahou Kong. He should have at least three children at this age. Moreover, he is also the legitimate son of the prime minister, and his marriage attracted much attention.

As soon as he said that, Xi Yan felt that he had said the wrong thing and shouldn't have mentioned Xiahou Kong. Seeing Ni Ruo's face slightly changed, he hurriedly explained, Ah... Xi Yan... Xi Yan wanted to say, Prince and Sister Ni, you are loving, and he treats you wholeheartedly and cannot tolerate others in his eyes. I wonder how many women are envious of you!

Well, he's really a good husband

Ni Ruo felt sweet and then looked sad again. I often reflected on myself whether my mistress, my chief, could match my position. For this reason, I have been learning to ask for advice, hoping to give back to his kindness to me...

Xi Yan's opinion is that my sister is pregnant and can still manage the entire Jing'an Mansion in an orderly manner. It is already amazing. There is no need to be too harsh on herself.

Xi Yan seriously comforted Ni Ruo, and as hesitated, hesitated again, but... my sister has indeed heard some rumors recently...
