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.

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 176: Concubine's Cake

In a short while, only two of the six cakes were left.

"Your Highness, don't eat too much at once, or it won't digest well." Nanny brought over some hot tea.

Concubine Jin nodded and instructed, "Keep these two for when we wake up in the afternoon."

Nanny smiled, "It's rare for Your Highness to have such a good appetite."

"What's this cake called?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll go find out."

So the eunuch ran back and brought some rewards like jewelry and fabric, saying that Concubine Jin really liked the cakes Princess Consort of Yu sent and wanted to know their name.

Li Hongyuan didn't expect that his concubine mother would really like these cakes.

He knew better than anyone how picky his concubine mother was.

She even looked down on the Imperial Kitchen's dishes and usually just nibbled on some snacks to pass the time.

Yet, she unexpectedly loved the food made by Jiang Ning so much.

Li Hongyuan arrived at the Crystal Clear Manor.

This was already his third visit today.
