Chapter 373 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Twenty-Two)

In the evening, Cui Li took off her hairpins and rings, sat by the dressing table, and was talking about interesting things with Cui Yun. Liang Sheng came in at this time.

Cuiyun bowed and then stepped out.

Liang Sheng helped Cui Li to the couch and carefully helped her to rest.

Cui Li rested her head on Liang Sheng's chest, saying that the baby in her belly had kicked her several times today.

Liang Sheng: "Did it hurt when he kicked you? You were still watching the fun today. I should have sent you back to the palace earlier."

Cui Li shook her head. She didn't want to listen to Qiqi's broadcast. She wanted to participate in it herself and enjoy the fun of watching the show live.

Otherwise, how would she know that Ji Wei was the type of person who would never admit anything, played the fool in everything, and had very poor expression management.

Ji Mingyue was tied up in the glory and survival of the Wu clan and the royal family of Ji State. She would rather give up the grudge with Ji Wei and keep the baby in her belly to leave a way out for Ji State.

Cui Li: "Our child is very obedient. He feels sorry for me as a mother and doesn't make trouble for me."

Liang Sheng placed his hand on her abdomen and suddenly smiled in surprise. The child was stretching out his little feet and moving around again.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, our child knows that his father is here and is greeting me."

Cui Li: "This clever little boy started to move around as soon as he knew you were coming. He will definitely be a lively child in the future."

Liang Sheng: "It's better to be lively. When I'm busy with government affairs, the prince can accompany you. However, the prince was lively and active when he was young. He could climb up the roof to remove tiles, climb trees to take bird eggs, and he was a young man with fine clothes and a vigorous horse. But when he grows up, he must calm down and be calm in the face of things. Don't be too jumpy, nor be reckless, unruly, unlearned, and self-willed. Otherwise, the huge Liang Kingdom will have to worry about the crown prince."

Cui Li glanced at Liang Sheng with disdain and became more and more excited as he spoke.

Cui Li: "Alright, alright, I say one thing and you say three. The prince hasn't even been born yet and you're already thinking about the future. Are you saying that I'm not good at raising my own children and that our prince won't be able to handle important responsibilities in the future? Besides, if it was a princess, would you still have this attitude?"

Liang Sheng coughed, his eyes wandering.

Liang Sheng: "I'm not talking about you, Li'er. I'm afraid that I'll spoil the emperor's son and fail to raise a qualified crown prince. If she's a princess, it's better for her not to go up to the roof and make trouble. Although she doesn't need to be good at needlework, chess, calligraphy, or painting, she should not do things that damage her image as a princess, such as climbing trees and stealing bird eggs. It's better for a girl to be gentle and refined."

Cui Li snorted. Although she had long planned to take her child away from the palace, she was still concerned about Liang Sheng's attitude towards her child.

Cui Li: "According to what you said, if I was born a princess, what could she do? Could she learn the six arts of a gentleman? Could she learn the strategies of governing a country? Could she establish her own power?"

Seeing that Cui Li was a little angry, Liang Sheng immediately thought of what he said in the Cining Palace during the day.

Liang Sheng: "If the baby in my belly is a princess, and if you and I only have one daughter, I will make her the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess will naturally have to learn the six arts of a gentleman, statecraft, foreign affairs etiquette, and other content, and they must be learned well. I will ask learned scholars and famous ministers to teach her, let her participate in government affairs, and truly grow into a qualified crown prince. Otherwise, if I die unexpectedly in the future, the Crown Princess will not be able to win the support of the people and will not be able to ascend the throne. Her fate can be imagined."

Cui Li listened carefully. It was good that Liang Sheng could tell her his thoughts honestly without being coy.

Liang Sheng: "Of course, I won't immediately make the little princess the Crown Princess. I will give her five to ten years to observe her and see if she is suitable to become the Crown Prince. This is both to protect her and for my own selfish reasons."

Cui Li: "What selfish motive?"

Liang Sheng: "If we give birth to a son later, the prince will naturally have an advantage. The obstacles he faces in ascending the throne will be far less than those faced by the princess. Letting him ascend the throne will be legitimate."

Cui Li understood. What Liang Sheng meant was that if he had a choice, he would choose the prince as the heir, and if he had no choice, he would choose the princess.

Emperor Liang Sheng still held traditional ideas and did not list the princess and the prince as the first heirs.

Cui Li was not bothered by this because she would only give birth to one child for Liang Sheng, which was the baby in her belly.

She was somewhat curious about another situation.

Cui Li: "What if I only give birth to a princess for you in this life, and Concubine Ji gives birth to a prince, and the court clamors to make that prince the crown prince?"
