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.

Huang Ying smiled, "Let me focus on my work, and my mind will settle. I'll help you wash and change your clothes."

"Alright."

Jiang Ning hadn't slept all night, hadn't bathed, brushed her teeth, or changed her clothes.

Huang Ying worked methodically and attentively.

Jiang Ning didn't dare disturb her, so she stayed quiet.

Not until Wenzan and Lingzi came running, did the quiet room suddenly fill with the children's chattering and the sound of them running around.

"Mother," Lingzi hugged Jiang Ning's leg, "Mother, take me to see father."
