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.

Chapter 347: Eating Meat

At the time of this conversation, the siblings were sitting face-to-face in the bright and breezy autumn courtyard, grilling a deer leg to eat.

Not far away, Huang Ying and Xiaoman, along with a few other maids, led the little Crown Prince and Princess as they played around a large golden apricot tree.

This ginkgo tree had a hundred-year lifespan, and it was intentionally enclosed when they built the Prince of Yu's Residence.

Now in autumn, ginkgo leaves had fallen all over the ground, golden yellow.

The two children were staggering and crawling on the fallen leaves, rolling in the piles of leaves and letting out their tender giggles.

Jiang Ning glanced at the children and smiled slightly at the edge of her lips.

She was holding a small brush, brushing honey onto the deer meat, while Jiang Yi held a sharp little knife, cutting off a small piece of meat, blowing on it, and bringing it to his sister's mouth.

"Is it cooked?"
