Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Because I’m Good-looking

Beauty was suspicious of her own eyes and involuntarily raised a hand to rub them.
She was not mistaken.
It was the blue palace dress.
Even the Yinglei ribbon on the collar was exactly the same.
How is this possible?
Beauty couldn’t help but look back to the ones she had already passed.
A few of them were still standing in their original places, waiting to see Jiang Ning make a fool of herself.
It wasn’t personal, but her appearance was too eye-catching compared to the others, and she happened to be a disabled girl in a wheelchair.
It was too attention-grabbing.
For someone extraordinary around them, the Beauties couldn’t help but be curious.
Seeing Jiang Ning sitting in her wheelchair, wearing a refreshing blue palace dress, they were all incredibly shocked.
Did she pass?
???
Putting other things aside, she is disabled!
Did the nannies in there lose their eyes or were they just being malicious, actually allowing a disabled girl to pass the examination?
Did they expect Prince of Yu to marry a disabled girl?
It was simply a preposterous joke!
Beauties whispered and exchanged surprised looks with each other, not stopping from observing Jiang Ning.
Jiang Yuan was especially curious.
She thought Jiang Ning would definitely not pass, and just like Jiang Yan, be sent back home with a card.
But surprisingly, she passed.
It was incredible; one couldn’t understand it.
Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but confront her, “Jiang Ning, why are you wearing this dress?”
“Nanny gave it to me.”
“Why?”
“Probably because … I’m pretty.” Jiang Ning touched her face, “Don’t you think so?”
Jiang Yuan:
She indeed was beautiful.
Lin Zizi’s reputation as the number one beauty in Chang’an City was not unearned.
Jiang Ning perfectly inherited Lin Zizi’s beauty, and compared to Lin Zizi’s grace, she had an even more lively spirit—an unparalleled beauty. Even as a woman, one would find it hard to deny the fact.
“But you’re disabled!”
“I’m pretty.”
“Even if you pass now, when you meet the various masters of the harem tomorrow, you’ll be dismissed!”
“I don’t care.”
Jiang Yuan held back the anger in her heart and walked away sulkily.
That night, the selected Beauties stayed at Cloudview Pavilion. With only fifteen or sixteen people left, it wasn’t too crowded and was quite comfortable. However, they ate together.
And a few nannies were also present.
A group of young girls, all from prestigious families used to a pampered life, were displeased with this, but as this was the palace, no one dared to complain. The evening meal was also simple.
Jiang Ning didn’t have much appetite and nibbled on a steamed bun. Yet, she couldn’t help but smell the aroma of meat dishes on the table beside her.
She endured it for a while, but eventually she couldn’t help but vomit.
The Beauties nearby eating looked at her and couldn’t help but sneer, “Still pretending.”
“This isn’t the time for selection. Don’t put on an act.”
Several Beauties showed their dissatisfaction.
Jiang Ning said, “I’m pregnant. This is morning sickness. Do you understand?” As soon as she said this, the surrounding nannies had no reaction, but several Beauties almost died from laughter.
“Jiang Seventh, are you suffering from delusions?”
“You’re pregnant? Do you think yesterday’s examination nannies were blind?” “You haven’t even entered the harem of Princess Consort of Yu and you’re already thinking of using your belly to gain favor. You’re thinking too much.” “A pure and innocent girl like you isn’t ashamed to say such things.” “Aren’t you embarrassed?”
The Beauties laughed and teased her.
Jiang Yuan felt humiliated, her face flushed red.. She whispered, “Can you stop being crazy and talking nonsense? Want to be pregnant? You’re still too early for that! Even if you’re not afraid of losing face, don’t drag me and the Jiang family down with you!”
