Princess Anguo is pregnant.

This news shocked everyone in the imperial court.

Li Jianguo also looked incredulous.

In his mind, this Aunt Song was so strong that he often forgot about gender.

Take this trip to Jiangnan, for example. Originally, I was there to see those corrupt officials. But unexpectedly, I encountered a massive flood.

If it had been someone else, countless more people would have died in this flood in Jiangnan. But because of her, the death toll this time was the lowest in recent years.

Furthermore, she donated a large amount of supplies to aid the disaster victims. All of this was done in his name.

It's equivalent to spending money and effort to clear his name.

Look, it's only when people are in the same boat that they have the opportunity to have a broader perspective and greater awareness.

Only she could handle these complicated and thankless tasks so well.

This person is now... pregnant...?

Li Jianguo always felt a sense of unreality.

It was like the feeling of emptiness he had when he first transmigrated here.

Looking at the spirited Shan Li, I felt a little envious.

This guy is really lucky, he's eating really well!

However, in an instant, he thought of his empress and the baby still in swaddling clothes, and felt that he was not so bad after all.

At least his child has been born. But Aunt Song's child is still just an embryo.

All the discontent and resentment of the court officials were suppressed by His Majesty's words, "The emperor and his subjects rejoice together."

The child, still in its mother's womb and whose gender was unknown, was directly bestowed a title by imperial decree.

If it were a girl, she would be born as a princess of exceptional quality.

If it is a boy, then he will be a first-rank prince.

All the officials in the court, whether willingly or unwillingly, accepted this decision.

After all, it's much better to reward a child who hasn't even been born yet than to reward the child's parents.

The fundamental reason why the court was in such a state was not because of the matter of rewarding meritorious officials.

The couple's contributions to the flood relief efforts in Jiangnan cannot be simply glossed over with a few perfunctory words of praise.

Especially Song Qingci, who is already a princess. She has basically reached the limit of what she can be granted.

Adding further favors would be both glaring and heartbreaking.

Now, an unborn baby has easily resolved the matter.

Once a step is provided, a smart person knows to gracefully step down. If they stubbornly refuse to come down, they're just asking for trouble.

Song Qingci knew that he had received a reward before his child was even born, and he didn't know how to feel about it.

Such a small embryo has to bear such a huge burden.

Being her child is indeed no simple matter.

Li Shijun never imagined that he would one day be able to enter the palace again.

Although she had royal blood, she lived outside the palace her entire life.

Unexpectedly, before his death, he would have the opportunity to enter the palace and see the emperor.

In one of the abandoned palaces in the royal palace.

Li Jianguo sat on the bench, looking at the person kneeling in front of him, feeling a bit melodramatic.

According to blood relations, this person should be my half-sister.

But he was dressed in traditional clothing. His bloodline seemed to have become even more distant.

"Your actions are all written here. Do you have anything to say?"

Li Jianguo calmly presented the charges to Li Shijun.

Li Shijun shook his head. "I have nothing to say. Everything written here is true. These are all things I have done over the years."

Now that things have come to this, is there any point in making any excuses?
