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.

Chapter 822: Favoritism_1

Li Hongyuan's favoritism towards Lingzi was clear as day.

Out of his three children, Li Tingqian, Wenzan, and Lingzi, Li Hongyuan looked fondly upon Li Tingqian, favored and even spoiled Lingzi, and was overly strict with Wenzan.

Maybe this could be explained as a father's higher expectations for his son, but his excessive indulgence towards Lingzi, in Jiang Ning's eyes, had already gone too far.

He carefully selected a precious little red horse for Lingzi, but did not give one to Xiaoqian and Wenzan.

Xiaoqian's horse was one he had picked out for himself at the Imperial Horse Stable.

Wenzan did not have a horse of his own.

Although Wenzan was young and didn't necessarily need his own horse, when compared with his siblings of the same age, Lingzi had a horse while he didn't.

Was this okay?

Either everyone gets one, or nobody does.

Jiang Ning felt strongly against Li Hongyuan's actions, which was why she slightly favored Wenzan in daily life, finding him pitiful.
