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.

Jiang Ning picked up Lingzi, kissing her soft cheeks and comforting her.

After Lingzi quieted down, she held Wenzan.

Although they stopped crying, the two children were still restless, unable to be put down, or else they would fuss.

Fortunately, there were many servants and wet nurses in the room, so they took turns holding them, not feeling too tired.

Jiang Ning returned to the room, let Chunlai prepare paper and pen, and continued to write the recipes. She had already written a small stack, all in preparation for opening a restaurant.

Usually, as long as she started writing recipes, she would become very calm.

But today, she just couldn't settle down.

She would become distracted after writing a few characters.

Jiang Yi didn't return until noon.

He came straight to Jiang Ning and said that the Prince of Yu had woken up, but had been choked by smoke and burned his arm; he would need some time to recover.

"Did they find out anything?" Jiang Ning asked.
