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. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty.

The silhouette looked quite young, but it was hard to say. In these times, men marry and have children as young as fifteen or sixteen, so it's quite normal for a man in his twenties to have a four or five-year-old child.

The most striking thing was that the man was wearing luxurious clothes and seemed to have an extraordinary temperament just from the back.

He obviously was not an ordinary person.

Recalling the thousand tael banknote Xiaoqian casually took out that day, it was a sure thing that the child came from a wealthy background.

Yet she didn't understand why Old Man Li, despite having so much money at home, always came to her small restaurant to eat for free.

He never paid!

Jiang Ning wanted to ask for clarification, but seeing the aloof demeanor of the guards around her, it was obvious she wouldn't have the chance.
