Chapter 13: Participating in Prince of Yu\'s selection of consorts?

"..." Jiang Ruobai secretly smiled bitterly.

His Majesty would probably feel strange knowing he was described as a fat, greedy old man.

This girl still thinks that His Majesty is a freeloader who doesn\'t pay.

She probably doesn\'t know that if she took anything from the basket he gave her, it would be enough for an ordinary person to eat for a lifetime.

Jiang Ruobai couldn\'t figure out the Emperor\'s thoughts and didn\'t dare act impulsively, so he did not reveal the truth to her.

He knew that the Emperor\'s eyes would not easily leave the Jiang Family.

But no matter what, he couldn\'t let Little Seventh become one of the Emperor\'s concubines.

The Emperor was old enough to be her father.

Back then, Lin Zizi managed to escape from the Emperor\'s clutches by marrying him first.

Now, the only way was to quickly arrange a marriage for Little Seventh.

After all, the Emperor still had his dignity and wouldn\'t just snatch her away.

As Jiang Ruobai thought about this, he pushed the wheelchair to the Black Bamboo Garden.

This was where Lin Zizi, the second wife of the Jiang Family and Jiang Ning\'s birth mother, lived.

Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi had two children: an elder son who studied at the Academy and a younger daughter, Jiang Ning.

"After you went missing, your mother suffered a great shock and her mental health has not been well. So, I\'m thinking of not telling her your true identity for now. I don\'t want her to be overwhelmed," Jiang Ruobai explained.

Jiang Ning nodded, "I understand."

"You will stay in the Black Bamboo Garden as a distant relative of the Jiang Family, and reveal the truth to her gradually when she\'s familiar with you."

"I get it."

Seeing her obedient manner, Jiang Ruobai felt slightly relieved and pushed her into the courtyard.

Upon entering, there was a grove of black bamboo.

A woman wearing a purple dress leaned against a pillar in the corridor, lost in thought.

This woman was beautiful, but pale and thin, with a blank expression in her eyes.

Jiang Ning muttered, "She really does look like me."

"It\'s you who looks like her." Jiang Ruobai corrected her, "She\'s your mother. Of course, you resemble her. She\'s aged now, but when she was young, she looked almost exactly like you. She was a famous beauty in Chang\'an City."

He looked at Lin Zizi and gently called, "Ah Zi."

Lin Zizi looked back and her gaze fell on Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ruobai pushed the wheelchair over and said with a smile, "This is Jiang Ning, the granddaughter of the Fourth Old Master. She\'ll be staying at our residence for a while. Ah Zi, can you look after her?"

Lin Zizi squatted down in front of Jiang Ning and examined her carefully: "Ningning is so pretty. What happened to her legs?"

Jiang Ning smiled, "I broke them in an accident when I was young."

Jiang Ruobai\'s eyes darkened upon hearing this.

Lin Zizi touched Jiang Ning\'s face and smiled, "It\'s okay. Ningning is beautiful, even if she can\'t walk."

She looked at Jiang Ruobai, "Our Little Seventh should be this big now, right?"

Without waiting for an answer, she asked Jiang Ning, "Has Ningning gotten married yet?"

"No, not yet."

"Ningning is beautiful. She deserves the best man." Lin Zizi smiled, "Old Master, Prince of Yu is choosing his concubines in a few days\' time. Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister are going, why don\'t we let Ningning go too?"

Jiang Ruobai hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be an excellent idea.

Let Little Seventh participate in the Prince of Yu\'s selection for his concubines.

The Prince of Yu was young, handsome, talented, gentle, and courteous.

If he chose her, the old Emperor would certainly not be able to face competing with his son for a bride.

Jiang Ruobai immediately said to her, "Little... Ningning, you should go with your Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister to participate in the selection!"

He almost accidentally said Little Seventh.

However, Jiang Ning didn\'t pay any attention to his slip of the tongue.

She had indeed heard Jiang Fifth Daughter mention something about the Prince of Yu choosing his concubines.

It seemed that this Prince of Yu was a highly sought-after catch.

But what did that have to do with her?

She still had a child of unknown origin in her belly. If it was discovered that she was trying to deceive the royal family by bearing a child that wasn\'t of royal blood, that would mean death!
