Before long, Meng Wei's sedan chair stopped in front of Su Ye's residence.
She couldn't wait to get out of the sedan chair and almost ran into the mansion, heading straight for the pavilion.
Upon seeing this, the servants along the way bowed and greeted her. Meng Wei simply smiled and nodded, her heart already filled with the joy of what was to come.
When she arrived at the attic, she saw that the door was half-open and that she could hear whispers and laughter coming from inside.
Without a moment's hesitation, Meng Wei pushed open the door and strode inside.
Inside the room, Su Ye was holding Wei Zifu's hand tightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and joy, while Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi stood around, their faces beaming with happiness.
Upon seeing this scene, Meng Wei was even more excited.
"Zifu, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? Let me take a look."
She strode over to Wei Zifu, shoved Su Ye aside without hesitation, grabbed Wei Zifu's hand, and looked at her with concern in her eyes.
"Your Highness, I'm fine. Old Master Sun has already examined me and said I'm pregnant."
Seeing this, Wei Zifu blushed, her eyes filled with shyness and happiness, and she said softly.
"Haha, this is wonderful! I've been waiting for this day for ages!"
"Jinyu, did you hear that? You're going to be a father!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Wei's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she burst into laughter.
"Mother, I heard it, and I'm very happy."
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.
"Wugou, Yiguang, you two need to work harder and try to give Jinyu a few more big, healthy boys as soon as possible."
Then, Meng Wei, delighted, turned her gaze to Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi, took their hands, and smiled.
Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi exchanged a smile, their eyes also sparkling with anticipation for the future.
Although Meng Wei's words were somewhat joking, they also touched on their hearts.
"Zifu, you are a great contributor to our Su family. You must take good care of yourself from now on. Tell the kitchen in the mansion what you want to eat, and don't deprive yourself."
Meng Wei turned back to look at Wei Zifu, her eyes filled with affection.
"Your Highness, I will, please don't worry."
Wei Zifu nodded, a tear glistening in her eyes, and said softly.
"Why call me Princess Consort anymore? From now on, just call me Mother. I've long considered you all as part of the Su family. We're all one family."
Meng Wei patted her on the shoulder and smiled.
Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi also gathered around, and the four of them chatted together around Wei Zifu, filling the room with laughter.
"Jinyu, now that Zifu is pregnant, shouldn't your marriage be on the agenda? We can't let the child be born without a proper status."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Meng Wei took Su Ye's hand and said...
"Don't worry, Mother, I already have a plan in mind."
"Once Zifu's health stabilizes, I will begin preparing for the wedding. I will definitely give them a proper status and let my mother hold her grandson as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Su Ye smiled, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes as he considered the current situation of his forces being engaged in battles on all sides.
"Good son, I believe in you. You've always been sensible in your actions. I'm just looking forward to your wedding."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wei finally smiled with satisfaction, patted Su Ye on the shoulder, and laughed.

Meanwhile, in the Tianheng Prefecture's government affairs hall, the atmosphere was extremely quiet. Gao Jiong, Di Renjie, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, and others were engrossed in their work, handling the complex government affairs of Hengzhou and Tianheng Prefecture.
The black-robed sorcerer Yao Guangxiao, who had been idly lounging around since returning to Hengzhou, was leaning against the side, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the busy crowd.
"My lords, great news! News has come from the lord's residence that Lady Wei Zifu is pregnant!"
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall, and a guard rushed in with a beaming face, loudly reporting.
These words immediately caused an uproar in the government affairs hall.
Is this really true?
Gao Jiong was the first to look up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His pen involuntarily fell onto the table, splattering ink. Without bothering to wipe it away, he quickly asked...
"It's absolutely true! The renowned physician Sun Simiao has personally confirmed the diagnosis, and my lord and his ladies are overjoyed!"
The guard smiled and nodded, confirming his statement.
"Our lord has finally had an heir! This is truly a joyous occasion! It puts our minds at ease."
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie put down the document in his hand, a rare smile appearing on his face. He stroked his beard and sighed.
"Offspring are the foundation of a nation. With offspring, our lord has a successor, and the future of Hengzhou will be more secure."
Wen Tianxiang was so excited that he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself.
Su Ye now has subordinates from all over the country, and naturally there are some close and distant relationships among them. Wen Tianxiang, who was planted in Hengzhou and discovered in Hengzhou, naturally belongs to the Hengzhou faction.
"Our lord is young and promising, and now he has an heir. It is truly a blessing from heaven for our Tianheng Manor."
"We should devote ourselves even more wholeheartedly to assisting our lord and working together to achieve great things."
Upon hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, Lu Xiufu, who was also from Hengzhou, looked pleased, gently patted the table, and smiled.
"Amitabha! The birth of a son to our lord is truly a blessing for us who are supporting the dragon."
"Although I am not interested in such matters, I know the importance of offspring to power."
"With an heir, the lord can stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate his foundation."
Yao Guangxiao also revealed a rare smile. He put his hands together, murmured a Buddhist chant, and said.
Never underestimate the importance of offspring to a power.
The ancients often said, "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants." In ancient feudal society, if a powerful ruler had no offspring, it was not just a matter of unfilial piety. After all, there has always been the saying that "the crown prince is the foundation of the country." The fact that a ruler had no descendants was even directly regarded as a sign of the decline of the country.
In ancient times, the issue of offspring was related to the succession of power and the stability of authority.
If a ruler has no children for a long time, it will not only cause anxiety among his clan members and his civil officials and generals, but may also trigger power struggles and court intrigues.
Even if a monarch had few children, it would certainly cause panic in the court and the harem. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, offspring were a symbol of prosperity. If a monarch had few children, rumors would spread that the country was going to perish and the monarch's life was coming to an end. Therefore, for the sake of the court and his own country, many monarchs could only have more children to stabilize the situation.
