Chapter 308: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Fifty-Seven)
Now he deeply regretted deliberately favoring someone else to make Cui Li jealous. He had originally thought that Concubine Ji would be easy to control, but now he had shot himself in the foot.
He remembered what the deceased Concubine Xu said in the letter. Although he did not find out that she had an affair with Geng Feiluan, he still felt a little resentful. For a moment, he was afraid that she would confuse the royal bloodline.
But as the emperor, he was confident that Ji Wei would not dare to betray him. Ji Wei was just an unfavored princess of the Ji Kingdom, with a weak temperament. Unlike her sister Ming Xiurong, who was bold and reckless, she would never dare to do such a thing as private transactions and extramarital affairs.
Over the past month, he had met Ji Wei several times. After many attempts, he gradually dispelled his suspicions. At least the secret guards who were openly watching her and Geng Feiluan had withdrawn.
Since she was carrying his child, Liang Sheng could not do such a heartless thing as murdering his own child.
If Ji Wei was pregnant with a princess, the royal family would have more than enough money to raise one. If she gave birth to a prince, the Ji Kingdom would surely become more greedy. After he unified the country, there was no guarantee that the old people of the Ji Kingdom would not try to support Ji Wei's son to ascend to the throne.
It seems that he needs to deploy it as soon as possible.
He gently stroked Cui Li's belly, looking forward to the birth of their baby boy.
Although Liang Sheng knew that he would like Li'er no matter whether she gave birth to a princess or a prince, but now, for the stability of his country, he really hoped that Li'er would give birth to a prince first. With a prince, many court officials would give up those ideas. If she gave birth to a daughter in the future, he and the prince would protect both mother and daughter.
It turns out that if you don't make things difficult for others, you will make things difficult for yourself.
Before Liang Sheng closed his eyes, this thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The next morning, Cui Li habitually touched the quilt next to him and found it was cold. It seemed that Liang Sheng had gone to court long ago.
Cuiyun heard the noise and hurried in to help Cui Li wash up.
She stood aside, watching the two palace maids dressing their master. The not-so-clear mirror reflected her hesitant expression, which was also a bit panic-stricken.
Ji Zhaoyi is pregnant!
This news made Cuiyun dizzy and she couldn't control her expression. She felt that she could no longer hide it from her master. It was impossible for her master to stay in Chengqian Palace all the time without going out. How uncomfortable she would be when she found out that there were so many concubines and other princes and princesses in the harem.
Cuiyun knew very well that His Majesty might not love Ji Zhaoyi, but as long as the prince or princess was around, His Majesty would definitely go to Ji Zhaoyi.
If this continues, Ji Zhaoyi and her children will become thorns in the master's heart and will hurt the master's heart.
Moreover, the master knows nothing, so if someone wants to harm her, it will be difficult to guard against it.
After Cui Li finished her meal, Cui Yun still looked worried.
Cui Li: "Cuiyun, what's wrong with you? Did you lose at Mahjong last night?"
Cuiyun quickly suppressed her unhappiness and apologized, "Master, how did you know I lost money? I played for half an hour last night and lost two months' salary. So just now I was thinking about how to win it back. I didn't expect to disturb you. I was wrong. I will be more careful on duty next time."
Cui Li: "You girl, you have bad luck! Don't be unhappy. You have served me diligently recently, so I will reward you with two months' salary."
Cuiyun thanked him quickly, feeling very guilty. She was distracted while on duty and even deceived her master.
She made up her mind to take the time to ask for an audience with Queen Mother Cui to see her attitude so as to avoid making a mess in a hurry.
Afterwards, Cuiyun calmed down and began to serve Cui Li very attentively.
When Qiao Zhi came to take his pulse, he also learned the kneading technique from Qiao Zhi. It is said that this set of techniques used by Qiao Zhi is very effective in calming the mind and relieving fatigue.
Qiao Zhi: "Your Majesty is in excellent health. As long as you take the medicine I prescribe on time and eat medicated food, worry less and strengthen your body, you will be able to give birth to a prince safely. In addition, this ointment is very effective in treating injuries, so I will leave it for your Majesty in case of emergency."
