Chapter 307 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Fifty-six)

When Emperor Liang arrived at Chengqian Palace, most of the candles had already gone out. The imperial concubine had retired, but the palace attendants, knowing the emperor was coming, had not yet rested and were still on duty.

In the cold winter, the palace lanterns along the intersections are flickering, and the yellowish light illuminates the way forward.

Cuiyun walked quickly towards Emperor Liang and bowed to greet him.

Liang Sheng: "Is your master asleep?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen felt a little unwell last night, and she has been feeling sleepy lately, so she went to bed early."

Liang Sheng: "Feeling unwell? Have you asked a doctor to come and see you?"

"Your Majesty said she was fine, just a little sleepy and weak, and that a good night's sleep would be enough. Your Majesty did not allow us to call the imperial physician, fearing that it would disturb you."

Liang Sheng: "Well, then I'll go in and take a look."

Liang Sheng tiptoed into the room. The candlelight inside was dim, and he could only see the slender figure on the bed and feel her long breathing. Then he slowly left the room and went to the side hall to take a bath and change clothes.

He stood under the moon, silent and quiet, and waited until his hair was dry before turning around and walking towards the main hall.

Liang Sheng: "You all go down and rest."

"Yes, slaves, please leave."

After Liang Sheng dismissed the palace maids, he went into the house.

He lifted the quilt very gently, and slowly lay down beside Cui Li. He didn't sleep, but just looked at Cui Li's sleeping face.

Cui Li: "Well, Brother Sheng... don't leave... don't lie to Li'er..."

The woman in the dream was mumbling softly, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was not sleeping very soundly.

Liang Sheng held her in his arms, let her rest her head on his shoulder, patted her back gently, and comforted her in a soft voice.

Liang Sheng: "Li'er, sleep peacefully. Brother Sheng won't go anywhere. He'll stay with you and our prince. Li'er, I don't want to lie to you! I'm afraid you'll leave me."

He smiled bitterly, his voice full of helplessness.

Thinking about the fact that Ji Zhaoyi was pregnant today, his heart ached slightly. Since he had made a promise to the amnesiac Li'er that she was the only one he would be with, he really wanted to keep his promise. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and people living in this world have too many helplessness.

The past month had been so wonderful. The two of them were in perfect harmony and loved each other. Whenever Cui Li looked at him with eyes full of love and joy, he felt that he loved Cui Li even more and he could not live without her.

When he went to other palace concubines, it was somewhat just for show. After all, he had to reassure the concubines and prevent them from making trouble behind the scenes and endangering the former dynasty and Cui Li. Moreover, his going there also represented his attitude. He did not dislike them, so those palace people would not dare to look down on the weak. However, he would not stay in other palaces again because he would feel guilty.

Liang Sheng himself was a little surprised. As an emperor, his reason told him that it was natural for him to favor his concubines. However, emotionally, he felt that he should be loyal to Cui Li not only in his heart, but also in his body. If he favored someone else, he would be sorry for Cui Li, who was pregnant and gave birth to his child.

Now, he no longer has so many desires. He has the ambition to unify the country, but he doesn't want to deal with women. He doesn't need many women around him, one Li'er is just right. He is not a sentimental person. If his heart is full of the world, there will be no room for too many other people.

He decided that he would not hold a general election next year and would not hold any more beauty pageants in the future. He felt that if more women entered the palace, it would only be a waste of their youth.

As for the concubines in the palace, there weren't many of them. Once he unified the country and the situation stabilized, if they were willing to leave the palace, he would issue an edict to confer titles on them, give them dignity, and let them leave the palace to remarry. If they didn't want to leave the palace, then they could stay in the palace with good food and drink. As long as they behaved themselves, he would give them what they deserved. If he couldn't give them anything, then there was nothing he could do.

However, the pregnant Ji Zhaoyi made Liang Sheng helpless.
