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.

"It's hard to be as open-minded as you." Jiang Yi laughed and said, "If I had to choose, I would definitely choose you as my brother-in-law. As for Prince of Yu... it's hard to say."

The reputation of the Prince of Yu, especially among the common people, was very good.

But this reputation mostly came from his noble birth and dazzlingly handsome appearance.

However, one should not judge a book by its cover.

A beautiful appearance doesn't explain anything, nor does it mean that his character is as good as his looks.

On the contrary, those who are close to him know that he has a rather gloomy personality and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

He was no different from his brothers.
