Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Can’t Bear The Kindness

Even Lin Zizi was surprised by this.

Aunt Liu asked incredulously, “Seventh Miss, are you talking about…the newly conferred Prince of Zhao?”

“Yes, it’s him.”

“The Emperor bestowed marriage on the Prince of Zhao and our Sixth Sister? As his Main Consort?”

“The Emperor’s bestowment wouldn’t just give him a concubine,” Jiang Ning laughed, “Besides, how could our Jiang Family’s daughter be someone else’s lesser wife? Father and Mother would never agree.”

“My goodness!” Aunt Liu’s face was full of disbelief.

Jiang Yan pointed at herself dumbfoundedly, “Why? Seventh Sister, why would Prince of Zhao want to marry me? I am just a concubine-born daughter, not beautiful, and not particularly talented. I don’t understand.”

Hearing this news suddenly, she did not feel ecstatic as others might have imagined, but rather, felt uneasy and terrified.

Because she knew that she didn’t have any outstanding talents.

In terms of beauty, she couldn’t even compare to one percent of her Seventh Sister; in terms of talent, she was far behind her Fifth Sister.

In terms of identity, she naturally didn’t dare to compare herself with her legitimate-born Seventh Sister, or even her fellow concubine-born Fifth Sister.

In her eyes, she was simply worthless.

Her best hope for the future was to marry a scholar from a small family and lead a peaceful and carefree life.

Even her Sixth Sister, with her good looks, married a count’s illegitimate son and was considered to have married above her station by many people.

How could she possibly become the Main Consort of the Prince of Zhao?

It was simply absurd.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

There were countless noble ladies in Chang’an City, so how could it be her turn?

Jiang Yan was somewhat confused.

In her innocent and kind heart, she felt unworthy, and at the same time, very uneasy about whether there was some conspiracy behind this.

Jiang Ning sat beside her, seeing her small face tense, and her terrified and bewildered expression, she held her hand and comforted her, “You have met the Prince of Zhao, he is extraordinarily handsome and gentle, not a fierce and vicious person. Don’t be afraid.”

Jiang Yan shook her head with a wry smile, “Seventh Sister, I’m not afraid of that. I just…I don’t think I deserve Prince of Zhao. Seventh Sister, could you tell me why the Emperor bestowed this marriage?”

“Probably because you are a daughter of the Jiang Family,” Jiang Ning said.

“So, if Sixth Sister hadn’t married, the Emperor might have bestowed the marriage on her?”

“…Maybe, I’m not sure.”

That was indeed the case, but Jiang Ning didn’t want to put it too bluntly.

Jiang Yan sighed.

Meanwhile, Aunt Liu was somewhat jealous, “Little Six, why the long face? This is a big happy event. We always said you were a lucky one. Sure enough, your marriage is far better than your Sixth Sister’s. Madam, I didn’t expect our residence to produce two Princess Consorts.”

Lin Zizi nodded, “I’ve met the Prince of Zhao, he’s indeed a gentle and courteous child. Of high stature and handsome appearance. Little Six, this marriage is very good.”

What else could Jiang Yan say?

Because it was too good for her.

So good that she couldn’t bear it.

Although she was weak and kind, she was not foolish.

The one the Prince of Zhao valued was not her, but her family behind her.

Why would the Prince of Zhao, a subject, try to win over the Jiang Family?

This, could not be deliberated on seriously.

Once she considered it, it was easy to become frightened by the idea.

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Ning with a pale face, “Seventh Sister, is the relationship between Prince of Zhao and the Crown Prince…not very good?”
