"Well, in that case, let's declare the child born to Empress Fu to be the crown prince."

In ancient times, when a queen or concubine was pregnant, she would have to be careful, be careful of others causing trouble, or worry about having a bad pregnancy. But this problem does not exist now. With technology so advanced, it would be a big joke if the royal family couldn't even save a fetus.

What's more, the fetus is already two months old and will be given all-round care according to imperial royal etiquette, just waiting for birth.

In 1969, on the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month and the day before the Laba Festival, the imperial royal family held a press conference. The press conference was co-chaired by Sun Changqing, the minister of the imperial propaganda department and the "chairman" of the imperial royal affairs.

The press conference was held so unexpectedly that many media outlets had only just been notified. The entire press conference gathered almost all influential media in the empire. The Imperial Propaganda Department even ordered the Imperial Television Station to broadcast the entire event live.

At the press conference, Wei Sancai, Minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, announced that His Majesty Zhang Shusheng's third queen, Fu Huiyu, was two months pregnant, and clearly mentioned that it was a boy.

Today, when illegal abortion is strictly prohibited, confirming gender does not violate the law.

The reporters in the audience were almost stunned.

They had speculated that the content of the press conference might be that war was coming, that His Majesty the Emperor was getting married, or that the empire was about to launch some major policy to benefit the people.

However, no one expected that the royal family would be happy.

What billions of people have been waiting for for more than ten years has come true today. The royal family has a successor in the blink of an eye. All the reporters are going crazy, their bodies are tense, for fear of leaking even a little bit of information.

They know that this will be the most popular and biggest news in the empire this year, no, in the last ten years.

That's not all. Later, Wei Sancai also announced that the empire would trial a new marriage law and gave a brief introduction to the content involved in the new marriage law, which caused a sensation among reporters.

However, this was nothing compared to what was subsequently announced by Sun Changqing, the "Chairman" of Royal Affairs.

"... After His Majesty's careful consideration, I announced on behalf of His Majesty Zhang Shusheng that the Empire will officially designate the son of Empress Fu Huiyu as the Crown Prince. Let us look forward to the arrival of the Imperial Crown Prince together. Thank you all!" (To be continued...
