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.

Jiang Ning looked him up and down: "What does it have to do with you if we find something?"

At first, she thought the other person was Mu Jian, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

It was true that Mu Jian had been dead drunk, and with the Jiang brothers watching him, it was impossible for him to return back under their watchful eyes.

This man in front of her...

Jiang Ning really wanted to see his face clearly.

But a dark cloud had obscured the moonlight, leaving only a few dim stars.

The surrounding area was pitch-black and silent.
