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.

After he dressed up, he turned to see Jiang Ning sitting in front of the mirror, starting to comb her hair.

Usually, she found the process tedious and the hair bun heavy. When she didn't go out, she let her hair down, only tying up half of it.

However, for her to wear the crown, she must tie up all her long hair.

Moreover, the Phoenix coronet, inlaid with gold, gemstones, and pearls, would make her head extremely heavy.

Watching Huang Ying and Xiachu tying her hair layer by layer, and seeing the palace maid bringing the Phoenix coronet, Li Hongyuan spoke, "Huang Ying, let the Princess Consort have breakfast first. She can put on the coronet later."
