Chapter 806: Surprise at Tianheng Mansion (Transition Chapter)

Soon, Meng Wei's sedan chair stopped in front of Su Ye's mansion.

She couldn't wait to get out of the sedan chair, almost trotted into the mansion, and headed straight for the attic.

Seeing this, the servants along the way bowed and greeted her. Meng Wei just smiled and nodded, her heart already filled with the joy of what was to come.

When she arrived at the attic, she saw the door was half-open and bursts of whispers and laughter came from inside.

Meng Wei didn't hesitate for a moment, she pushed the door open and strode in.

Inside the house, Su Ye was holding Wei Zifu's hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness and joy. Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi were standing beside him, their faces filled with happy smiles.

When Meng Wei saw this scene, she became even more excited.

"Zi Fu, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Let me take a look."

She walked quickly to Wei Zifu, pushed Su Ye away without any hesitation, and grabbed Wei Zifu's hand, her eyes full of concern.

"Princess, I'm fine. Mr. Sun has checked it out and said that she is pregnant."

Seeing this, Wei Zifu's face flushed, but her eyes were full of shyness and happiness, and she spoke softly.

"Haha, this is great! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

"Jinyu, did you hear that? You're going to be a father!"

When Meng Wei heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she burst into laughter.

"Mother, I heard it and I am very happy too."

Su Ye was pushed aside by his mother, but he didn't care at all. He just smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting.

"Wu Qu, Yi Guang, you two should also work harder and try to give Jin Yu a few more big fat boys as soon as possible."

Then, the delighted Meng Wei turned her gaze to Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi, took their hands and smiled.

Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi smiled at each other, their eyes also flashing with longing for the future.

Although Meng Wei's words were a bit joking, they really touched their hearts.

"Mrs. Zi, you are a great contributor to our Su family. You must take good care of yourself in the future. Tell the kitchen in the mansion what you want to eat. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Meng Wei turned around and looked at Wei Zifu again, her eyes full of love.

"Princess, I will, don't worry."

Wei Zifu nodded, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly.

"Why call me princess? Just call me mother from now on. I have long regarded you as part of our Su family. We are all one family."

Meng Wei patted her shoulder and smiled.

Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi, who were standing by, also came over. The four of them surrounded Wei Zifu and chatted with each other. The room was filled with laughter.

"Jinyu, since Zifu is pregnant, shouldn't you also put your marriage on the agenda? You can't let the child be born without a name."

Suddenly, Meng Wei seemed to remember something, and took Su Ye's hand and said.

"Don't worry, mother. I have a plan in mind."

"Once Zifu's health stabilizes, I will start preparing for the wedding. I will definitely give them a legitimate status and let my mother hold her grandson as soon as possible." Su Ye smiled when he heard this, and when he thought of the wars under his command that were going on all sides, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"My dear son, I believe in you. You have always been sensible in what you do. I am looking forward to drinking in your wedding wine."

When Meng Wei heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She patted Su Ye's shoulder and said with a smile.

On the other side, in the government affairs hall of Tianheng Prefecture, the atmosphere was extremely quiet. Gao Jiong, Di Renjie, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others were buried in paperwork, handling the complicated government affairs of Hengzhou and Tianheng Prefecture.

The black-robed evil monk Yao Guangxiao, who had been doing nothing and slacking off everywhere since his recent return to Hengzhou, was leaning to the side, his eyes occasionally glancing at the busy crowd.

"My Lords, great news! News has come from the Lord's Mansion that Madam Wei Zifu is pregnant!"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall, and a guard rushed in with a happy face and reported loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Government Affairs Hall was in an uproar.

"Is this true?"

Gao Jiong was the first to raise his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the pen in his hand unconsciously fell on the table, splashing a few spots of ink. He didn't bother to wipe it off and asked hurriedly.

"It is absolutely true. The King of Medicine, Mr. Sun Simiao, has personally confirmed the diagnosis. The lord and his wives are all overjoyed!"

The guard smiled and nodded, affirmingly.

"The lord finally has a successor. This is truly a great joy! For us, his subjects, this is also a reassurance."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie put down the documents in his hand, a rare smile appeared on his face, he stroked his beard and said with emotion.

"Offspring are the foundation of a country. My lord, if you have offspring, you will have an heir. The future of Hengzhou will also be more stable."

Wen Tianxiang was so excited that he stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself.

Now, Su Ye's subordinates include people from all over the place, and naturally there are different kinds of closeness and distance between them. Wen Tianxiang, a great talent who was implanted in Hengzhou and discovered from Hengzhou, naturally belongs to the Hengzhou faction.

"My lord is young and promising, and now he has a son. God bless our Tianheng Mansion."

"We should work even harder to assist our lord and work together for the great cause."

Hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, Lu Xiufu, who was also from Hengzhou, looked pleased. He patted the table lightly and smiled.

"Amitabha, the Lord's birth of a son is truly a blessing for us dragon-supporting people."

"Although I am not interested in such matters, I also know the importance of offspring to power."

"If the lord has an heir, he can calm people's hearts and consolidate his foundation."

Yao Guangxiao also showed a rare smile. He clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice, and said.

Never underestimate the importance of offspring to a force.

The ancients often said, "There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants." In ancient feudal society, if a powerful leader had no offspring, it was not just a matter of unfilial behavior. After all, there has always been a saying in ancient times that "the prince is the foundation of the country." The lack of offspring for a lord was even directly regarded as a sign of the country's decline.

In ancient times, the issue of offspring was related to the succession of power and the stability of rights.

If a lord is childless for a long time, this will not only make clan members and civil officials and generals under his command anxious, but may also trigger power struggles and court struggles.

Even if the king has few children, it will definitely cause panic in the former dynasty and the harem. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, offspring are also a symbol of prosperity. If there are few children, there will definitely be rumors that the country is going to perish and the king's life is coming to an end. Therefore, for the sake of the court and their own country, many kings can only have more children to stabilize the court.
