Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Is it fun?_1

After catching it, she was startled and afraid, flinging it out reflexively.

The small card whistled as it flew into the distance.

Rolling onto the ground.

The card had delicate pink tassels on it.

Seeing it clearly, Princess Ling’an could only stare in shock.

Wasn’t it the very thing she had just been longing for?

Jiang Ning, with an ambiguous smile, said, “Princess Ling’an, what is the meaning of this? Throwing the selection card around casually? Do you even regard the Emperor and Empress as significant? If you despise this card so much, why bother coming to the Elegant Heir Palace in the first place?”

Princess Ling’an’s complexion changed slightly. She turned around to pick it up, but Jiang Ning stopped her.

“Stay back!” Jiang Ning blocked her. She turned to the other eliminated aspirants who hadn’t walked far and shouted, “Whoever can snatch that card will be the fiftieth contestant to enter the second round of selections.”

The ladies place instantly went into a frenzy.

They ignored the nanny, turned around, and swarmed towards the card.

For a while, there were screams, curses, pushing, and tearing sounds. Chaos ensued.

Hundreds of women turned the Elegant Heir Palace into a bustling marketplace.

Princess Ling’an was dumbfounded.

She stared at the messy group of aspirants, feeling a bit torn.

Jiang Ning stood not far away, watching it all unfold emotionlessly.

“…Fun, isn’t it?”

Li Hongyuan had arrived at some point and stood behind Jiang Ning. He suddenly asked, “Looking at these ordinarily well-dressed, clean and elegant ladies, scrambling and tearing at each other on the ground for a mere card, must be quite amusing, right?”

Jiang Ning didn’t turn around to reply: “I never said it was fun.”

“It seems like you’re enjoying yourself quite a bit.” Li Hongyuan frowned at the chaotic scene in the distance. He told Li Quan, “Go have a look.”

Li Quan hurriedly led a few junior eunuchs over and separated the brawling ladies, pacified them and took the card back.

The ladies were all dissatisfied, and they were ready to hit Liu Quan with their scented fists.

Liu Quan was hit several times, his face scratched by the ladies’ sharp nails. He covered his head and shouted, “The Crown Prince is here, and you even dare to be audacious!”

The ladies immediately quieted.

When they saw the noble and handsome young man in a black python robe standing next to the Princess Consort, they were embarrassed and quickly knelt to bow, discreetly adjusting their appearances at the same time.

The outstanding appearance of the Prince of Yu was legendary throughout Chang’an City, and most of these women hadn’t seen him before.

They didn’t expect the Crown Prince to be exactly like what was said in the rumors, even more elegant, noble, and handsome than they had imagined.

But, his countenance and pupils were extremely cold.

Anywhere his eyes swept over turned bone-chillingly cold.

Such a handsome man, yet he possessed such cold eyes, it was truly regrettable.

Liu Quan said again, “Why are you all frozen? Get back to what you were doing.”

One of the ladies whispered, “Eunuch, you should give me back the card. I got it just now…”

Liu Quan glanced at the card in his hand, then at the Crown Prince and Princess Consort.

He hesitated.

Li Hongyuan coldly asked Jiang Ning, “Princess Consort, is this how you assist the Empress with the selections, as commanded by Emperor Father? Whoever can snatch it, gets it? Are you selecting ladies for the harem or selecting Imperial Guards?”

“How right you are, Your Highness!”

It was Princess Ling’an who said this.

Seeing the Crown Prince arrive, she came to her senses, immediately ran over and tattled.
