Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

After coaxing Yu Zinyin to sleep, Shao Lian went to the side hall to see his eldest son. The emperor had already gone back to handle government affairs. Before leaving, he gave the little grandson a lot of things from his private treasury. The emperor also personally put a longevity lock made of pure gold on the little grandson. Originally, he wanted to stay with his little grandson for a while, but in the end he had to hurry to deal with government affairs.

The Queen had not left yet. Seeing Shao Lian coming, she told him that the Emperor had come to see the child and had named him. "Shao Lian, give the child a name."

Shao Lian came to the cradle and looked at the sleeping baby inside. When he thought that this was the child born to him by his beloved, his heart was filled with happiness. He pulled up his sleeves, reached out his hand and carefully tucked the quilt for the child.

"I admire the lofty mountains and the beautiful people."

"Just call me Shao Jingxing."

The Queen's smile deepened after hearing this. "It's a good name. It implies that he will have noble character and behave honestly and selflessly in the future."

The next day, Liu's father, mother, and Liu Xian all came to the East Palace. They did not come the day before because Yu Zinyin's labor was too sudden. When they found out, Shang Liang, who was sent by the prince, told them that the princess had finished giving birth. It was already afternoon, and their daughter needed to rest after giving birth. They would not be able to see their daughter even if they went. As for the appearance of the little grandson, they did not have the courage to compete with the emperor and empress, so they could only go the next day.

"Ziyin, you've worked hard." Mother Liu, a female member of the family, sat beside Yu Ziyin, holding her daughter's hand with heartache, while constantly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "With this child, no one will be able to shake your position as Crown Princess in the future. Fortunately, fortunately, he is a son."

God knows, ever since her youngest daughter became the Crown Princess, she has been both happy and worried. She is happy that her daughter has the ability to become the Crown Princess, but she is also afraid that someone will target her. When Liu's mother learned that her youngest daughter was pregnant, she was also mixed with joy and worry. She was happy that her daughter was pregnant and her position was secure, but she was also afraid that Yu Zinyin would give birth to a daughter. After all, in this era, only by giving birth to a son can one gain a foothold in the backyard, not to mention that this is in the backyard of the crown prince.

Now that her little grandson has been born, her daughter has not only given birth safely but also a son, who is the eldest son of the prince. This has really put the heavy stone in Liu's mother's heart at ease.

Listening to Liu's mother's words, Yu Ziyin wanted to answer, but there was an indelible weariness between her eyebrows. Lying on the bed, looking at Liu's mother, her voice was weak, "Mom, I'm fine. Have you gone to see Jingxing?"

"Mom will go and see it later. Now I just want to accompany you." said Liu's mother.

Mother Liu knew that her daughter still needed to rest, and since all her daughter's affairs were handled by the Queen Mother's people, Mother Liu didn't need to do much, so she just sat beside her daughter and talked to herself for a while, and then got up and left when Yu Zinyin was drowsy, and went to the side hall to see her grandson.

Since Liu Xian and his father were men, it was not convenient for them to come over, so they could only visit their grandson/nephew. However, they were also worried about their youngest daughter/second sister, so they were waiting for Liu's mother to come to the side hall and tell them about Yu Zinyin's situation.

Their thoughts were similar to Liu's mother's. No matter what the Liu family was like before, after having this child, the position of the Liu family and Yu Zinyin was completely consolidated, and no one could easily shake the position of the Liu family and the Crown Princess.

In this year, Liu Xian also got engaged to the woman he wanted to marry, and the marriage was arranged by the Queen herself. The significance and scale of the engagement were very different from those of other equal families, which gave the Liu family enough face. Liu Xian also knew that he and the Liu family were able to receive this honor because of his second sister's favor in front of the prince, so in his heart, he respected Yu Zinyin much more than he respected Liu's father, and he cared about his second sister more than before.

And his mood was actually the same as Liu's mother's. He was worried that his sister would not be able to give birth to the crown prince's eldest son, and her position would be unstable.

Although the Liu Mansion is now the residence of a fourth-rank official, the emperor and the prince cannot really give Liu's father a powerful fourth-rank official because of his ability. Even if he was originally a fifth-rank official, Liu's father's ability can only be said to be just enough. So if Yu Ziyin had not been reliable and favored, Liu's father would have stayed in his original fifth-rank position for the rest of his life and would never be promoted to the fourth-rank. Therefore, her family does not have much power to help Yu Ziyin consolidate her favor. Can't they only hope that Yu Ziyin can give birth safely and give birth to a prince's eldest son to stabilize her position as the crown princess?

When they left the Eastern Palace after visiting their daughter and grandson/nephew, the three of them couldn't help but look happy.

However, most of this joy disappeared after he saw Liu Ziyu after returning home.

Yu Ziyin became pregnant three or four months after Liu Ziyu was imprisoned, so it was normal for Liu Ziyu to be released during the year when Yu Ziyin became pregnant and gave birth.

Although her reputation is ruined now, and her re-engagement with Cheng Ting has caused laughter and rumors among the people in the capital, her life is actually not that difficult. All this is because Yu Zinyin became the Crown Princess and became pregnant. Everyone is considerate of her because she is the eldest daughter of the Crown Princess's family, the Liu family, so they did not laugh at her so much. So after Liu Ziyu came back, her life was only a little difficult at the beginning, but then she could go to other people's banquets normally. Even if no one would come up to talk to her at the banquet, Liu Ziyu felt that it was much better than she had imagined.

But this doesn't mean she will thank Yu Ziyin.

In fact, she has always had hatred and jealousy towards Yu Ziyin in her heart, but because she is not strong enough now, she cannot shake Yu Ziyin's position. She can't even do anything when Yu Ziyin is pregnant. This makes her feel very frustrated. She just wants to marry Cheng Ting as soon as possible, and then quickly gain some connections, and find an opportunity to kill Yu Ziyin. Even if she can't kill her, she will make Yu Ziyin completely fall out of favor.

She had thought about taking action against Yu Ziyin's child, but the child still had royal blood flowing in his body. She was afraid that if she took action against the child, the emperor's dragon guards would find out, and then she would be buried with Yu Ziyin's child. She didn't want to do such a thankless task.

Back to the present, when Liu Ziyu saw his parents and Liu Xian return, he approached them attentively, "Mom and Dad, little brother, you're back from visiting your sister. How's your little nephew? Isn't he adorable?"

Father Liu simply glanced at Liu Ziyu indifferently, and then said to Mother Liu: "You talk to her, I have some things to deal with in the study."

"Yes, sir." Mother Liu nodded and did not stop Father Liu's behavior. If she had a good excuse, she would have wanted to leave too.

Liu Xian bowed with a forced smile, "Mother, sister, I've already made an appointment with Miss Huo to go flower viewing, so I'll excuse myself."

Miss Huo was the one who was engaged to Liu Xian. As to whether she really had an appointment with him to appreciate the flowers, or whether she was taking this opportunity to stay away from Liu Ziyu like Liu's father, only Liu Xian himself knew.
