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.

Not to mention the reliability of that thing, whether it was harmful to a woman's body, and it didn't taste good at all.

Li Hongyuan was somewhat aroused, and when he heard her gentle, submissive words, he paused, "This is not something a harem woman would say."

Almost all people believe that having more children brings more blessings, especially for the women in the harem, where children are their insurance and glory.

It was always fear of not having enough; how could there be too many?

The only reason Li Hongyuan could think of for her unwillingness to get pregnant was a single one.

That is, she didn't like him, so she didn't want to have his baby either.
