Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning carefully recalled the details of her interactions with Old Man Li, but she couldn’t see him as the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

People believed that Prince of Yu was incredibly good-looking, but could he really have given rise to such a handsome son?

Jiang Ning was somewhat doubtful.

There were many rewards sent from the palace like fabrics, jewelry, and cosmetics, all things that young ladies could use.

Jiang Ning glanced through them, uninterested.

These various rewards were less practical than receiving money.

But there was one person who had red eyes from envy.

That person was Jiang Yuan, the fifth daughter.

She learned that the child Jiang Ning saved was none other than the emperor’s eldest grandson, and she was full of regret and remorse.

If she had taken the initiative to jump down and save the child, all these rewards would have been hers.

Moreover, by saving the emperor’s oldest grandson, she would have garnered the Emperor’s attention, increasing her chances of being selected as a consort in the palace.

How could such a great opportunity have fallen on a lame girl!

Jiang Yuan instantly thought that Jiang Ning’s chance to save the prince was entirely her own doing.

If it hadn’t been for her tripping Jiang Ning, how could she have had the luck to save the emperor’s eldest grandson?

It was infuriating.

Jiang Yuan was angry for a whole day and had no interest in learning palace manners from the nanny.

She made several mistakes and was severely scolded by the nanny.

This nanny was a serving lady from the palace, who had served the Ladies of the palace. If not for the upcoming selection event, even the Jiang family wouldn’t have been able to hire her as a servant.

The scolding from the nanny made Jiang Yuan even more upset, and she left in a huff.

The nanny paid no attention to her, continuing to teach Jiang Yan palace manners calmly.

With the palace selection happening the next day, Jiang Ning was extremely anxious.

She went to find Jiang Ruobai: “Father, I have a very serious matter to discuss with you.”

“Seventh Sister, you should be resting well in bed.”

“This matter concerns my life as well as the entire Jiang family!”

“What kind of matter is so serious?” Jiang Ruobai looked at his daughter’s pink face and couldn’t help but smile.

“I am really pregnant!”

“Child, please don’t deceive your father, okay? Even if you don’t want to enter the palace, don’t use such an excuse. The reputation of a girl is still important.” Jiang Ruobai stroked his chin, “Although I don’t know the importance of such reputation.”

“Father, why don’t you believe me?”

“Several doctors have taken your pulse, and you have no issues.” Jiang Ruobai thought she was just too worried and anxious, so he comforted her, “My dear girl, don’t be afraid. You are entering the palace to be selected as the Main Consort of Prince of Yu, not a concubine. You won’t be staying in the palace as a servant.”

“I don’t want to be the Princess Consort of Prince of Yu. Besides, with my lame leg, others wouldn’t want me. Isn’t it embarrassing for you to send me to the palace?”

“Nonsense. How could my legitimate daughter be an embarrassment?” Jiang Ruobai caressed her hair, “Seventh Sister, you are the only legitimate daughter of your mother and me, but due to my negligence, you were lost for twelve years. I owe you so much and must give you the best.”

Jiang Ning was touched but still couldn’t accept it: “If father wants to treat me well, how about letting me enjoy a good life at home instead?”

“My daughter deserves the best man. The Prince of Yu is your best choice.”

“Father, the Prince of Yu is so good, he really won’t look twice at me.”

“We’ll see about that.” Jiang Ruobai chuckled meaningfully, “You should go to sleep and rest. Tomorrow, I will personally send you to the palace.”

Jiang Ning wanted to struggle more: “If father doesn’t believe me, you can go to the Apricot Grove Medical Clinic and ask about it. There is a young doctor there who checked my pulse and told me I am pregnant..”
