Congratulations, Your Highness!
Ruyi and the other maids also shouted happily.
Especially Ruyi, who was Xie Yuan's dowry maid, was the first person she thought of.
Counting the days, it has been two years since the young lady married the King of Yue.
But there has been no good news.
Fortunately, the young lady followed the King of Yue to his fiefdom, and Lingnan was far from the emperor's reach.
Otherwise, not to mention the two mothers-in-law in the palace, even the noble ladies would gossip about it.
Perhaps some people even used the excuse that Princess Xie "could not bear children" to desperately try to give King Yue women and concubines.
However, the matter of having offspring was something that the King of Yue must have cared about as well.
For the sake of the child, even if the King of Yue deeply respects his daughter as his principal wife, he will probably have to compromise.
If another woman enters the Prince's mansion's inner courtyard, the young lady will be heartbroken, and there will be many troubles.
Sigh, just thinking about it makes Ruyi worry for her mistress.
Every day, I watch as the young lady bustles about for the sake of the Prince's mansion, so exhausted that her feet barely touch the ground.
While feeling sorry for her, Ruyi couldn't help but want to advise, "Miss, you don't have any children yet. No matter how well you manage the Prince's Mansion, it may not all belong to you!"
"What if... I end up doing all the work for someone else? Wouldn't that be such a waste?"
Secretly, Ruyi, Granny Zhao, and other old servants of the Xie family kowtowed and burned incense, praying to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
They only hoped that their young lady could get pregnant soon and give birth to a little prince for the prince.
Only after having a son could my young lady truly secure her position as the Princess Consort of Yue.
The vast Yue King's Mansion will also include a portion of its young ladies!
We've been waiting with bated breath for so long, and finally, good news has arrived!
How could Ruyi and the others not be happy?
According to custom, a woman's pregnancy must be kept secret for the first three months.
They will only spread the good news once the pregnancy is stable.
However, Xie Yuan and Helian Jue were in a different situation. They had no elders to rely on, and the couple had to support each other to establish themselves in Yuezhou.
With Helian Jue away on another campaign, Xie Yuan's safety is of utmost importance.
At least Helian Chen, who was left behind at the palace to be in charge of security, needed to know.
"That's great! That's really great!"
He Lianchen almost burst into tears of joy upon hearing this good news.
Waaah, his master finally has an heir!
As Helian Jue's most trusted subordinate, Helian Chen and Helian Jue were not only ruler and subject, but also cousins by blood.
The two met when they were young and shared both glory and hardship.
Helian Jue was deposed, and everyone around him ran away, leaving only Helian Chen.
For Helian Jue, Helian Chen was always the most special subject.
Helian Chen also paid close attention to everything about Helian Jue.
The lord I followed finally had offspring, which would also be helpful to his great cause.
Only with a successor can the subjects feel more at ease.
This is also an important reason why, throughout history, even when eunuchs held power, no eunuch could become emperor.
Eunuchs don't even have offspring. Once a eunuch dies, there is no successor, so who would dare to follow him easily?
Even the emperor, if he has no son, his ministers will be anxious.
Helian Jue was not content to be just the King of Lingnan; he wanted to fight his way back to the capital.
Therefore, having a successor can reassure many followers.
The great cause of King Yue has a successor!
"Your Highness, please tell the Prince this good news as soon as possible."
Rubbing his hands together, Helian Chen became more and more excited as he thought about it.
Hehe, while our prince is conquering new territories, our princess is pregnant. Wouldn't you call this a double blessing?
Helian Chen could imagine how overjoyed the prince, who was fighting on the front lines, would be upon hearing the good news.
Perhaps a stroke of goodwill could lead to a swift and decisive strike, quickly ending the war in Luozhou.
"Yes! I'll write a letter to the Prince later!"
Xie Yuan didn't intend to hide it from Helian Jue.
As another "participant," you should tell him about the joyous news of her pregnancy as soon as possible.
After sending the beaming Helian Chen away, Xie Yuan went to the study.
She first recounted the recent situation at the Prince's residence before mentioning her pregnancy.
In his letter, Xie Yuan discussed the matter of the child with Helian Jue in a tone of great anticipation.
Is it a man or a woman?
Does she look like her father or her mother?
She also wrote in tender words: "Your Highness, my child and I are waiting for your triumphant return! Let's celebrate the New Year together as a family!"
There are only two weeks left until the New Year.
Considering the timeframe and Helian Jue's strength, Xie Yuan felt he should be able to return by the end of the year.
However, war is a matter with too many variables.
Although Xie Yuan didn't want to keep thinking about bad things, accidents were inevitable.
Xie Yuan could only hope that everything went smoothly for Helian Jue and that he would return in triumph soon!
However, Xie Yuan had just sent Xuanjia to deliver the letter when Xuanyi rushed back the next day.
Seeing Xuan Yi's anxious and disheveled appearance, Xie Yuan's heart skipped a beat: Something's happened!
His heart suddenly raced, and Xie Yuan took a deep breath to calm his chaotic emotions.
She asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Does His Highness have any orders?"
She didn't want to say "the prince is in trouble," it was unlucky and too ominous!
Xuan Yi bowed, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a letter from his clothes.
Xie Yuan knew that the prince must have written everything down in the letter.
She snatched the letter away hastily, tore open the envelope, and pulled out the letter.
Unfolding the letter, Xie Yuan read ten lines at a glance.
Her expression changed as her eyes moved.
After reading the letter, Xie Yuan's face turned pale.
