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.

As for Li Hongyuan, Jiang Ning couldn't see him, but she could hear his footsteps and knew he was right behind them.

The Crystal Frost Hall was as warm as spring.

The two children were wrapped up quite thickly, and Jiang Ning thought of having the wet nurses unwrap the small blankets outside, but before she could act, she saw Li Hongyuan already standing by Lingzi's wet nurse, helping to unwrap Lingzi's blanket.

He looked at Lingzi very gently, and his movements were very skilled.

After removing Lingzi's blanket, he poked her little face with his finger, then turned to Wenzan's wet nurse and said, "It's hot here. Let First Brother wear less."

Calling them 'First Brother' and 'Second Brother' was an affectionate term used for the sons in a family.

Jiang Ning observed that Li Hongyuan really loved these twins.
