The entire second year of Shenwu passed quickly amidst the chaos of local and court affairs.
At the end of the year, Lu Yuan received good news.
His queen was pregnant again.
Yes, after giving birth to the first child and a year of recovery, Lan Cai'er was pregnant again under Lu Yuan's relentless efforts.
He was going to be a father again.
Although this news was not as joyful as Lu He's birth, it was still a happy news worth celebrating.
As his queen was pregnant, Lu Yuan, as the king, naturally had to devote some of his energy to her care, and his desire for external expansion diminished even more.
So, at the end of the year and the beginning of the next, he spent his time dealing with the aftermath of the two reforms and accompanying Lan Cai'er in her pregnancy.
This busy and leisurely life continued until the beginning of the third month of the third year of Shenwu.
Shenwu's third year was destined to be a year of great harvest for Chu State.
