Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate.

The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap.

Chapter 178: Feed it to the Dogs

Li Hongyuan didn't care much.

As long as she didn't make trouble, she could think about or like whoever she wanted. It was up to her.

But for some reason, he suddenly remembered what his concubine mother had said.

There was more than one person praising Jiang Ning's cooking skills.

Many people around him had tasted it, but he, the one who should have the closest relationship with Jiang Ning, had never tried it once.

After some thought, he went to the kitchen.

He could smell the aroma from afar.

Nowadays, when Jiang Ning cooked, it didn't cause panic among the kitchen staff. Instead, they looked forward to it.

Because every time the Princess Consort cooked something delicious, she would leave some and share it with them.

Such a kind master, who wouldn't welcome her?

They'd rather have her live in the kitchen.

When Li Hongyuan arrived, he saw Jiang Ning surrounded by people like stars surrounding the moon.
