Neither of them kept quiet about the news of the pregnancy.
That day, the news spread throughout the capital.
At the morning court session on the second day, an imperial edict was read out, announcing to all the civil and military officials in the court and even to the people of the world that the Khan's successor had been decided.
The queen was the eldest of the legitimate children, and even though she had been living away from home for four years, no one dared to doubt her bloodline based on her face that looked exactly like Lu Ziyan's.
This is the emperor's only son, and he is the undisputed candidate for the crown prince in every way.
The turbulent times that had lasted for one hundred and eighty years were ended single-handedly by Lu Ziyan. The confirmation of the crown prince position meant that there would be no more disputes over the throne, which was of great benefit to the country.
This is good news.
This is especially true for the Xie family.
Their family produced a queen, who was the only woman in the emperor's harem.
The eldest prince has been appointed as the crown prince, and the position of crown prince has been officially determined. At this moment, my belly is full again.
The extent of her favor is truly unprecedented.
As the maternal family of the empress and the foreign clan of the future emperor, the Xie family has risen with the tide. It was already a first-class noble family, and now it has squeezed into the ranks of the top families.
Lu Ziyan was very generous and was not stingy in showing favor to the Xie family.
As early as when he held Xie Wan Ning's rank and insisted on holding the ceremony of crowning the queen, the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion was promoted from a first-rank marquis to a super-rank duke.
Xie Wan Ning's father, brothers, uncles, and cousins all respected him.
The Xie family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and has flourished. There are many talented people among the collateral relatives, and now is the time to rebuild.
Many descendants of the Xie family were sent to various places to benefit the people.
It's like a raging fire boiling oil.
As the head of the family, Xie Shu went from being happy at first to gradually becoming a little worried.
It is never a good thing for the descendants to be powerful.
However, Lu Ziyan smiled and comforted him, saying frankly that he would never be suspicious.
Although the Xie family is powerful, they only have civil officials. The military generals who are in charge of military power are all Lu Ziyan's confidants.
Mingfeng and Mingjian were appointed as the General of the Western Expedition and the General of the Northern Expedition respectively.
The royal court in the northern border had been conquered, and the Great Khan's subjects kept migrating there. The imperial court sent civil officials to govern, but there were still occasional chaos. Only with Ming Jian stationed in the northern border could the area develop peacefully.
Mingfeng is currently still attacking the Qiang people on the southwestern border.
The Khan's elite troops are basically in these two hands.
The rest were military governors from various places and the imperial guards of the capital.
There was also another group of Sky Guards, which was originally in Pei Yuqing's hands.
After Lu Ziyan ascended the throne, everyone thought that the Qingtian Guard would be taken back by him.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have forgotten about this and had no intention of taking back the military power.
Later, when Xie Wan Ning returned to Beijing, he treated the Pei family like air.
So now, the Qingtian Guard is still in Pei Yuqing's hands.
But the Pei family is still gradually being marginalized.
He has not appeared in the court for a long time.
Therefore, everyone agreed that the Sky Guards must have existed in name only.
…………
Guanju Palace.
After the news of the pregnancy spread, Zheng and her aunt Liu entered the palace, along with her cousin Xie Ruyu.
At the end of last year, Xie Wan Ning returned to Beijing. Zheng was so excited to see her eldest granddaughter that she still couldn't get enough of the excitement after a year. Now, hearing that her daughter was happy again, she was really in high spirits.
As soon as he entered, he saw his daughter coming to greet him, and he hurriedly reached out to help her, "You are a pregnant woman, you have to be steady and don't get startled."
In her eyes, her daughter is still the lively, lovely little girl.
For a moment, I even forgot that this was my second child.
Xie Wan Ning did not refute, and let her mother support her. She called to her aunt and cousin, "Come in and sit down."
He also ordered the palace servants to serve fruits and snacks.
