Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Purity and Enchantment in One Body

Jiang Yan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, she whispered, “Auntie told me the same, that if I wasn’t willing, I should ask Seventh Sister for help. But… I think, after all, this is the royal rule, if we go against it, I’m afraid it will bring disaster to our family. Seventh Sister, don’t take risks for me. I’m not exceptionally beautiful, and I might not even be chosen.”

“In that case, you can participate as usual, I’ll think of a way to get you not chosen.” Jiang Ning said softly, “There are so many noble ladies participating in the selection, it doesn’t matter if you are not chosen.”

“Um, thank you, Seventh Sister.”

“We’re siblings, no need for formalities.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Did Fifth Sister come back yet?”

“Yes, she did.”

“How is her husband?”

“He seems well-behaved, and he speaks to Fifth Sister kindly. Fifth Sister seems lively, so I suppose they are harmonious.”

Being married to a concubine-born son of a Count’s mansion, Jiang Yuan could not only not inherit the title, she also had to bear a large set of aristocratic rules. From the beginning, the proud Jiang Yuan wasn’t satisfied with this marriage.

The man she initially liked was Wenren Zong.

However, after the Wenren Family fell into disfavor, she gave up the idea.

Moreover, gradually acknowledging her status as a concubine-born daughter, she realized that the primary sons of noble families would never marry a concubine daughter, and she gradually accepted this fact.

Now, it seems that the couple are getting along well.

Jiang Ning asked Jiang Yan, “If you had to choose, what kind of man would you want to marry?”

Jiang Yan blushed, silent for a long time, before whispering, “As long as he has a good character, and treats me well, that’s enough.”

“Would you not consider his family background or appearance?”

“As long as he is ambitious. I think, it’s my life, like the Fifth Sister who married into the Count’s mansion, naturally it’s grand, but the life in the big courtyard may not be satisfactory. I don’t like being ruled by a mother-in-law.”

“Haha.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Everyone says that Sixth Sister is quiet, turns out she’s the one with the most sense. I’ll have Dad find someone for you, maybe a scholar, preferably an orphan.”

“Seventh Sister, don’t make fun of me.”

Jiang Yan’s head almost buried underneath the table.

Nobles, ministers and officials were arriving one after the other, Prince Xinhai and Princess Zhenming also arrived separately.

The elegant demeanor of Princess Zhenming immediately attracted numerous glances.

Jiang Ning stood up and pulled Princess Zhenming to sit next to her.

“Princess, you look much better, truly exquisite.” Jiang Ning couldn’t stop praising her.

“All thanks to the dress and jewelry sent by the Crown Princess.” Princess Zhenming said softly, casting her eyes down.

When she was without makeup, her facial features were somewhat plain, but after wearing makeup, combined with her graceful posture, Jiang Ning felt that for the first time, she wanted to use the term on her—”Pure desire.”

Her face was extremely innocent, but her body was beautiful, with skin as white as pearl, and her overall demeanor was so alluring.

This made many of the nobles and officials in the Heavenly Worship Hall, from the elderly in their sixties and seventies to the young talents in their twenties and thirties, could not help but sneak glances at her.

Prince Xinhai was right, his sister may not have the most beautiful face, but she was the kind that could make men fall for her.

Jiang Ning scanned the hall, very few people were not looking at Princess Zhenming, but there were a few.

Li Hongyuan was one, her own father Jiang Ruobai, another was Li You.

Aand Prince Xinhai.

Because Prince Xinhai kept watching her.

Although it wasn’t obvious, that kind of covert glimpse was always uncomfortable.
