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.

A chill stricken Li Quan quickly lowered his head: "This servant was too talkative."

Although Li Hongyuan did not truly visit Jin Liangyuan at the Plum Blossom Cottage, he did indeed see her.

As the master and servant walked not too far from the Crystal Clear Manor, a red figure appeared in their sight amidst a flurry of heavy snow.

The red dress danced with the wind, standing out like a vivid splash of blood in the white snow.

Liu Quan was completely stunned on the spot, murmuring in low voices: "Am I seeing things? How come there's a ghost in broad daylight."

Li Hongyuan's phoenix eyes slightly squinted, but he didn't stop walking.

A nervous Liu Quan followed him.

However, as the captivating figure slowly approached, he became certain that he wasn't hallucinating: "Ah, it is Jin Liangyuan."

Jin Man was wearing a thin red dress, exposing her fair neck and ankles.
