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. 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.

Translator: 549690339

Li Hongyuan had already changed out of his wedding attire and was now donning a narrow-waist, arrow-sleeved robe.

This was Jiang Ning's first encounter with such attire; her movements were not particularly adept, but Li Hongyuan was currently out cold, oblivious to whatsoever she was doing to him.

She stripped the robe off him, discarding it onto the floor, removed his undershirt, and yanked off the crown from his head.

Finally, all that remained was his innermost garment.

Jiang Ning proceeded without pause, removing his upper garment as well.

His physique was... quite desirable, indeed.

Broad shoulders, and particularly his waistline...

Such a shame that he's an awful person. No matter how pleasing the package, it wouldn't attract her.

Jiang Ning's gaze landed on his trousers, and for the first time, she found herself in a quandary.

Should I take them off?

If she took them off, wouldn't she be searing her own eyes?

If she didn't, it'd scarcely be believable.
