Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 806: Chapter 806: The Beautiful Sight of Falling Down_1

Princess Ling’an’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

She came to participate in this selection process, aiming for the position of the Side Concubine of the Crown Prince. Her family had already gotten the nod from the Empress in advance.

That’s why she dared to be so rude and arrogant towards Jiang Ning.

But who would have known that at the crucial moment, the Empress would fall sick.

What kind of sickness?

A headache?

What the hell was that? It was nothing more than an excuse!

Princess Ling’an was furious.

She wanted to rush to the Serene Phoenix Palace to question the Empress on why she was not present!

But she could only contemplate this in her heart.

If it really came to it, she wouldn’t dare to do so.

So she could only vent out her anger internally, gritting her pearlescent teeth in frustration.

She turned to look at the beautiful lady standing next to her.

A little plump, with a smooth round face, long curved eyebrows and eyes, a small mouth with cherry lips and two dimples at the corners. She had an extremely attractive and adorable appearance.

Looking at the style and material of her clothes and the accessories she wore, it seemed rather plain and simple.

One could tell at a glance that she came from humble origins.

How could someone like her even compare with herself?

Princess Ling’an gave Jiang Ning a sidelong glance, noticing the card in her hand, on seeing her lingering and not speaking up, she could hardly restrain herself, and asked: “The rest of the ladies have already made their choice, what is the Princess Consort still hesitating about? Give me the card!”

She reached out to take the card.

However, Gufeng flashed his body to stand between her and Jiang Ning, his eyes coldly staring at her: “Impudent!”

Dressed as a young palace girl, coupled with his slender body and diminutive, cute face, Princess Ling’an could absolutely not identify his real gender.

She hadn’t expected that a little palace girl would dare to gaze at her with such a fierce look. She was taken aback for a moment, and then, somewhat angry and embarrassed, she raised her hand to slap him, but was pushed away by Gufeng.

Princess Ling’an staggered a few steps backwards, her useless hand hanging in the air for a few seconds, ultimately, she failed to steady herself, and fell down right on her bottom.

In any other scenario, if this had happened to a girl from a reputable family, she would probably be mortified to death due to the collective gaze.

But, Princess Ling’an was not a usual girl from a large and esteemed family.

Since she was a little girl, she was accustomed to getting into fights and conflicts with Jiang Yuan, and slinging insults. Being mischievous and fierce, she once had a street fight with Jiang Yuan in front of the commoners.

A woman like her, how could she crumble just because she fell on her buttocks?

She got up in one swift motion, and reached out to find a whip. After searching for a while she realised she had dressed up for the selection today, wearing exquisite long silk robes – no weapons to be found.

So, she simply picked up a piece of stone off the ground, and aimed to smash it on Gufeng’s face.

This scared Nanny and the other women present out of their wit.

But, Jiang Ning stayed quite composed. In fact, she even took a step back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Though Gufeng appeared like a harmless little rabbit on the outside, if anyone seriously took him for a rabbit, they would be in for a big shock.

Gufeng swiftly moved like a flash of lightning. When Princess Ling’an’s stone was still in flight, he leapt towards her, flipping her over in mid-air.

Princess Ling’an responded by twirling a few times around in the air. When she finally landed, it was under a blooming magnolia tree, completely covered in white magnolia petals.

The scene was actually quite picturesque.

It gave Jiang Ning quite the eyeful.

“You lowly servant! How dare you lay hands on me! I’ll tell the Emperor and the Empress! I won’t let you off AHH!!”

In a fit of rage, Princess Ling’an began shouting at the top of her lungs, causing quite a stir.

“Princess Ling’an, stop shouting. Here, catch!”

Jiang Ning casually tossed something towards her.

Mistaking it for a concealed weapon, Princess Ling’an instinctively wanted to dodge, but her body was not fast enough. Without thinking, she extended a hand and caught it.
