But now that Prince Dai had been made a prince, news immediately spread that Princess Dai was pregnant. Was this man Heaven's own son? How did everything go his way?
They had finally found one weakness, only for it to be patched up at once.
Whether this child was a boy or a girl, as long as Princess Dai was pregnant, gave birth safely, and the child was healthy, it proved that Prince Dai and Princess Dai could keep having children. This would no longer be a shortcoming!
And if Princess Dai gave birth to a son in one stroke, that would be even more extraordinary. Prince Dai's legitimate eldest son, the former Crown Prince's legitimate eldest grandson—what weight would that carry?
Now that Prince Dai had been granted his title and had offspring, from the Confucian School's perspective, he would be flawless. Those people who always believed legitimacy was paramount would probably start leaning his way again!
As for the neutral faction that had yet to make up its mind, they would likely become more inclined to side with Prince Dai, while Prince Dai's existing camp would gain even greater confidence.
This was truly terrible news!
Though Prince Qi had always shouted that these people were merely a rabble, nothing impressive, not even daring to speak out openly, and nothing to fear.
In truth, however, Prince Qi knew how unfathomable legitimacy could be.
When the wind was against you, such legitimacy showed no power. But when the wind was with you, it would be like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, cutting away more than half the resistance out of thin air.
Besides, even setting that aside, if there could be less trouble, Prince Qi naturally did not want another swarm of buzzing flies constantly pestering him!
