Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

“Yes, her time as a servant here has indeed been unfair to her. Maybe she wants to seek a higher branch to climb.” Li Yuanyuan shook her head, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I’m a bit hungry, get me some porridge.”

“Yes.”

Having finished breakfast, she stepped out of the door and glanced at the small garden in the courtyard.

The once-fresh soil had been dried by the sun.

“I remember, the mansion just received some new rose plants yesterday. I love the scent of roses. Quan’er, ask someone to send one over.”

“This servant will go right away.”

It wasn’t long before a rose bush was brought to her.

Li Yuanyuan rolled up her sleeves and picked up a trowel.

Quan’er hurriedly said, “Let them do these coarse tasks. Don’t dirty your hands, My Lady.”

“You don’t understand, planting flowers is an elegant pastime and I enjoy doing it myself.”

Li Yuanyuan, with the trowel in hand, personally planted the rose in the small garden and watered it.

“The gardener said that the plant needs careful care and should be fertilized regularly,” Quan’er said.

As she washed her hands, Li Yuanyuan smiled, “I believe that this rose will surely bloom beautifully and fragrantly.”

After all, it was being nourished by the best fertilizer.

Jiang Ning recovered for half a month, and her arm was almost completely healed.

During this time, people from the Jiang family visited her like running water.

Even Lin Zizi came.

She hugged her daughter and cried for a long time.

The young masters of the Jiang family’s main branch gathered together and scolded the Prince of Yu for being unreasonable; he couldn’t even protect his own wife, who ended up getting injured on the streets.

Jiang Yi returned as well, bringing lots of gifts. Seeing her sister like this, he was heartbroken and almost went to fight the Prince of Yu.

Even Master Wenren’s Thirteen wanted to come, but he was stopped at the door by the housekeeper of the Prince of Yu’s Mansion.

It’s one thing for the Princess Consort’s family to visit, but what business does an outsider have coming?

Since Wenren Thirteen couldn’t enter, he asked Jiang Yi for help and sent some things along with him.

Jiang Ning opened the box and found that they were all new and interesting toys she had never seen before.

There were mechanical dolls with hidden mechanisms that could move, shackles that required much effort to solve, bamboo woven cages, and lifelike birds hidden inside.

Each item kept her entertained for quite some time.

Since Jiang Ning couldn’t leave and had agreed not to make a fuss for the time being, she was bored staying in the backyard. The box of items arrived just in time.

Jiang Ning looked through each item, unable to put them down.

Seeing her fondness for them, Jiang Yi felt a bit annoyed, “These are worth so little, I’ve bought you so many expensive things, but you don’t even look at them. I can get you a carriage full of these.”

“I like all the things Third Brother gave me as well.” Jiang Ning played with the mechanical dolls while lowering her head and smiling, “But these are toys.”

After Jiang Yi left, he relayed this to Wenren Thirteen.

“You certainly know how to win a little girl’s heart.” Jiang Yi felt a bit sour, “My little Seventh Sister likes these things so much. She didn’t even look up at me when I left, her eyes fixed on those little toys.”

Wenren Thirteen smiled gently, “She must be bored while recuperating. These are just to help her pass the time; they’re nothing.”

“I used to think Master Wenren must have been old-fashioned and pedantic, but I didn’t expect that you’d be quite clever.”

“I’m not this attentive to everyone.” Wenren held a cup of tea and smiled.

“Don’t tell me you still have feelings for my sister?” Jiang Yi gestured to his stomach, “She’s already like this, and the Emperor won’t let the Prince of Yu divorce her. No one dares to separate them.”

Wenren Thirteen laughed, “Seventh Miss Jiang is a very interesting person, I admire her and think she’s interesting and adorable. If I could marry her, it would indeed be a wonderful thing in life..”
