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.

The man was sipping his tea while reading a book. His head was down, the profile of his face revealing a strong and well-defined bone structure.

Princess Ling'an had always detested bookworms. But even watching this man read had her heart pounding within her chest.

Especially incredible was the feeling of being caught by his strong, broad shoulders when she fell from the building earlier.

His scent filled her nose.

It was a reassuring and thrilling feeling she had never experienced before.

By the time she finished her pot of tea and two to three plates of snacks, with her stomach filled to satisfaction, the candidate that she was meant to meet had not shown up yet.
