"Congratulations, Your majesty the emperor! It's a GIRL!!" (Haha, dear ML, better be nice to the baby niece!) And YESSSS. Finally, we're back to the plot-driven scenes!!! (the purely "romantic" ones, so far, have only managed to strike me as kinda annoying...)
By the way: now that it's confirmed this story's monarchy has a harem system, we can speculate that is why it was said the previous emperor had five children but no heirs: if they were all born either "outside" the palace, or to mere concubines and not to "official wives" like the empress and the consorts (and yeah, I'm thinking of this in terms of the ancient Chinese imperial harem's hierarchy)
