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. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" 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.

"Hmm."

As expected, Gucheng pulled out a letter and placed it on the table.

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up: "I knew it! There's nothing Gucheng can't do. You weren't followed, were you?"

Gucheng was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Mu Jian did send someone to watch me, but his martial arts were weak, and he didn't notice me."

"Great job! You've worked hard!" Jiang Ning was overjoyed and handed Gucheng a plate of snacks from the table, "Here, sit down to rest for a while, and let me take a look at the letter."

Gucheng: "..."

He was not a child.

He couldn't be sent away with a plate of fruit.

But out of respect for the young lady, he still took the plate and quietly walked to a corner to sit down. As he ate the snacks, he watched the little princes and princesses playing outside.

Jiang Ning opened the letter and first examined the handwriting instead of focusing on its content.

Ah.
