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.

Father He felt a bit flustered when his wife looked at him like this. Angrily and somewhat embarrassed, he coughed heavily, "Women helping their husbands and teaching their children is only natural! Besides, these duties are not contradictory to happiness and contentment! He Tang, have you become foolish from reading too much? Don't use these twisted arguments to resist your responsibility to marry and have children!"
