Chapter 39: Because I'm Good-Looking

The beautiful girls all thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them, and all of them couldn't help but rub their eyes.

'It can't be…'

'There's no way that girl is wearing the blue palace dress!'

But there wasn't even a single space to doubt. Even the pearl and jade sash on their clothes were exactly the same.

How was this possible?

The participating girls turned around subconsciously and glanced at the other female acquaintances who had already passed.

Instead of heading back to rest, many of the girls stayed where they were, waiting to see if Jiang Ning would make a fool of herself.

It wasn't that they were targeting her for malicious reasons, but the girl's situation had been so unique that they couldn't help but be interested. Even they could admit that she was the best among this group of beautiful girls. The only advantage they had on her was the fact that she was a cripple in a wheelchair.

All in all, her presence alone was too eye-catching.

It was inevitable for the girls to be curious about the unusual Lady around them.

They were all extremely shocked when they saw Jiang Ning sitting in a wheelchair and dressed in the blue palace dress.

'She passed the examination?'

 ???

'B-but… She is a cripple! Surely that would be considered a huge physical flaw!'

Was the Momo inside was either blind, or was too dissatisfied by the outcome of the rest of the healthy girls that she had to let a cripple pass the body test?

Was she going to let His Highness marry a cripple?

This was simply the biggest joke in the world!

The girls whispered to each other and looked at Jiang Ning with surprise.

Especially Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan thought that the other girl definitely wouldn't pass. She had expected the girl to be pushed out of the room with a card in her hand and be asked to leave the palace grounds like Jiang Yan.

Who knew that she would pass?

This was too unbelievable, and no one could understand.

"Jiang Ning!" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but stop her. "Jiang Ning, why are you wearing this?"

"Momo gave it to me."

"On what basis?"

"It's probably because... I'm good-looking," She said with a straight face. "What do you think?" Jiang Ning touched her face.

Jiang Yuan was speechless.

She was indeed beautiful.

Lin Zizi's reputation as the most beautiful woman in Chang'an city was not an undeserved title.

Jiang Ning had perfectly inherited Lin Zizi's beauty. Compared to Lin Zizi's modesty, the young girl was more lively. It was simply... Even as a woman, it was hard to deny this fact.

"But you're a cripple!"

"But I'm a good-looking cripple."

"Even if you pass now when you see all the mistresses in the harem tomorrow, you will still be bullied!"

"I don't care,"

"..." Unable to combat Jiang Ning's dismissive attitude, Jiang Yuan turned around and walked away dejectedly.

In the evening, the ladies who passed the first round stayed in the Wang Yun Tower. Since there were only fifteen to sixteen people left, they did not have to squeeze or share their rooms, which made the stay a little more comfortable. 

But they still have to share their meals together in one room.

There were only a few Momo standing guard, and the lack of maidservants to serve them annoyed the girls.

The dozen or so young girls were all born into prestigious families and were used to living a pampered life. Although they were dissatisfied with this, they were in the palace, so no one dared to say anything, lest one of the Momo decided to report them to the royal court.

The dinner was simple.

Jiang Ning didn't have much of an appetite. She was munching on a steamed bun, but she couldn't resist the smell of meat and vegetables on the table next to her.

She had been holding it in for a long time and could not help but want to vomit.

Recently, the feeling of nausea was getting stronger and stronger, and she was also very uncomfortable.

The surrounding girls who were eating looked at her and couldn't help but pout. "You're pretending again."

"It's not the time for His Highness to choose now. So you don't need to show off. "

A few female Ladies expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I'm pregnant," Jiang Ning said plainly. "It's morning sickness. Do any of you understand?"

As soon as she said this, the Momos around her didn't have any reaction. A few girls almost laughed to death.

"Jiang Ning, are you delusional?"

"You're pregnant? Do you think that Momo was blind during the body test?"

"You haven't even entered Prince Yu's palace and you're already thinking of using your stomach to fight for his favor. You're thinking too far ahead."

"You're a pure and innocent girl, yet you can say such words. You really have no shame. "

"Aren't you embarrassed?"

The girls laughed and laughed.

Jiang Yuan felt embarrassed, and her face flushed red at their mocking words. She turned to Jiang Ning and said in a low voice, "Can you stop talking nonsense? It's still too early for you to be pregnant! Even if you're not afraid of losing face, don't drag the Jiang family and I down with you!"
