The Empress carried the dragon spawn within her, almost bringing the entire civil and military court to celebration!
Though the concubines of the royal court bearing children brought joy to the ministers as well, since the more descendants the Imperial Family had, the better. Yet no matter how many children those concubines could bear, none could compare to the sons borne by the legitimate Empress.
The court was filled with unending congratulatory voices, and Qin Yi was overjoyed, immediately ordering an amnesty for the whole kingdom, exempting taxes for three years to bless the prince in the Empress's womb.
Once the Imperial Edict was posted, everyone on the streets began discussing the prince inside the Empress's belly.
Now that His Majesty had no children, this pregnancy of the Empress truly came like timely rain, most opportune indeed.
