There are few royal grandchildren, and the only two are both King Zhao's children. Now Yu Sangning is pregnant again, and she is almost the center of attention. You know, royal heirs are also a weight in the competition for the throne.
Although His Majesty is still young and strong, and the princes have married one after another, there will definitely be no shortage of royal heirs. But who knows if His Majesty will suddenly die, and there are many emperors in the past dynasties who died suddenly in their prime.
The crown prince is a short-lived person, and any offspring he has will become the object of favoritism by the clan members, and King Zhao is also the eldest.
When Shen Xihe was around, many people restrained themselves a little, but after Shen Xihe finished watching the ceremony and left early, Yu Sangning, the eldest sister-in-law of the prince, was surrounded by thousands of people.
"Crown Princess, Princess Zhao is an intelligent person. Why was she so eager to announce the pregnancy news?" Biyu couldn't figure it out, so she asked Shen Xihe.
As Shen Xihe's confidants, they know Shen Xihe's future path. The more they understand, the more they can share some of Shen Xihe's burdens.
"To clear my name." Shen Xihe, who was in the carriage, looked at the bright candlelight on both sides of the street swaying in the night breeze through the dim gauze window, and answered Biyu without hesitation.
The maids around her were willing to ask for advice and were willing to try hard to keep up with her pace, so she naturally taught them carefully.
"Right name?"
"Princess Zhao has not yet worshipped at the ancestral temple, and is not recorded in the royal family tree. If she were in the common people, she would be an unrecognized daughter-in-law." Zhenzhu explained on behalf of Shen Xihe, "Even if she dies, she cannot be buried with her husband."
If it wasn't for His Majesty granting the marriage, and the imperial edict clearly stating that she was to be betrothed to be the legal wife, she wouldn't even be qualified to be called Princess Zhao.
Bu Shulin's affairs had implicated her natal family because of Yu Wu Niangzi's death. This was something Yu Sangning had never expected. Now her relationship with her natal family was very tense. The entire Yu family also understood the good things she had done and naturally opposed Yu Xiang to be lenient with her.
Her only support is Xiao Changmin. Xiao Changmin feels very guilty towards her now, knowing that it is because of him that she has ended up with nothing and is abandoned by everyone.
But Yu Sangning is smart. Smart people know that Xiao Changmin's guilt cannot last long, so she cannot rely on Xiao Changmin's guilt for her whole life. She must find a way out quickly.
She got pregnant so quickly, and the clan members would also take it seriously. They didn't want her child to be inferior to others in the future. The sooner it was revealed, the sooner her family could clear her name.
It would be a good idea to let Xiao Changmin compensate her on his own initiative while he still feels guilty about her.
Xiao Changmin will go to lobby tomorrow, and soon Yu Sangning will be qualified to worship in the ancestral temple and be included in the family tree.
This is Yu Sangning's purpose. Now that she has an heir, some people will surrender when they see the prosperity of Prince Zhao's Mansion. With a little effort, she can make the patriarch of the Yu family gain some benefits, and she can be recognized again. And with the support of her natal family, she can get more respect from Xiao Changmin.
Just as Shen Xihe was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of Cui Jinbai drinking heavily in a window room on the attic of a restaurant. She immediately ordered, "Stop the car."
The carriage stopped to one side so as not to block the aisle. Shen Xihe watched Cui Jinbai, who was very depressed and drinking to drown his sorrows, through the screen window for a while before he sighed and turned to Zhenzhu and ordered: "Tell Mo Yuan to send someone to watch over him. Don't let anything happen."
