Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: I don’t care, I insist on doing it

Jiang Yan and Prince of Zhao, Li You, had already agreed on their marriage, and the Bureau of Astronomy was selecting an auspicious date for it.

It was quite normal for her to be too shy to show her face to her fiancé as a deeply housed lady who hardly ever went out.

Li You also saw her.

However, he only smiled lightly and did not attempt to approach her and talk, instead standing still in his place.

Li You’s smile was warm and gentle like the spring breeze, making even the most cold-hearted people unable to help but feel fond of him.

Not to mention a sheltered girl like Jiang Yan.

Jiang Family’s Little Masters approached them to exchange greetings and chat.

Not to mention such legendary handsome figures as Lin Shimo, even Wenren Zong, Li You, and Jiang Yi were all unusually good-looking.

There was a constant stream of people at the Lantern Festival, and many of the unmarried girls could not help but gaze at these exceptional young men.

Some bolder girls even threw their embroidered sachets at them.

Jiang Yi, who was already married, quickly tried to dodge the sachets, not wanting to be associated with any other woman, lest he could not explain it to his wife when he went home.

As for Lin Shimo, a flick of his jade fan, and not a leaf touched him.

Li You smiled and let the sachets hit him, then let them fall to the ground.

Only Wenren Zong, being upright and kind-hearted, could not bear to let the girls’ intentions fall into the dirt, so he caught the sachets and had the servants following him return them.

He instructed the servant, and then looked at Jiang Ning, who was also smiling at him.

Wenren Zong nodded at her as a greeting.

“…I saw this lantern first!” Princess Ling’an’s voice reached Jiang Ning’s ears.

“Just because you say you saw it first, doesn’t mean you did. What proof do you have? I could say I saw it first too!” The second daughter of the main room, Jiang Shan, couldn’t stand her arrogance, so she retorted and asked the owner to hand the lantern to her immediately.

Princess Ling’an had always been arrogant and domineering among the young girls of Chang’an, and when Jiang Ning was not around, Jiang Yuan, who was also pampered as the legitimate daughter, did not get along with her and had fought with her several times.

Now that Jiang Yuan was married, Princess Ling’an was still living her brazen and domineering life in her boudoir.

What was even more surprising was that she managed to have Lin Shimo accompany her on her outing.

Lin Shimo was a great scholar admired by all students in the world and a highly educated individual who even the Emperor had to pay his respects to.

Li You gently smiled, “Ling’an, there are other more unique lanterns elsewhere. There’s no need to have a conflict with the Princess Consort over just one lantern.”

“Cousin! Even you won’t help me!” Princess Ling’an pouted, unhappy, “I don’t care, I want this lantern!”

“Never mind, I don’t want it anymore,” Jiang Ning withdrew her hand and laughed, “I don’t like it anymore.”

“W… why?” Princess Ling’an was so surprised that she blurted out the question.

Jiang Ning looked into her eyes seriously and said, “Because I don’t like anything you like.”

“What did you say?”

“It means, I can’t be bothered to fight with you, it’s boring.”

Jiang Ning called her siblings, “It looks lively up ahead, let’s go and take a look.”

Princess Ling’an got the lantern.

Holding the lantern and looking at Jiang Ning’s back, she suddenly felt so annoyed by the lantern.

Suddenly, her anger flared up, and she threw the lantern on the ground and stomped on it a few times with her foot, “Who cares about this broken lantern!”

The candle inside the lantern set the lantern on fire.
