Chapter 333: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Part 82)
Cui Li did not refuse Liang Sheng's feeding. Even if she didn't eat, the baby in her belly would have to eat.
After dinner, Liang Sheng carried her back to the bed.
Cui Li was half-sitting on the bed, her eyes fixed on the quilt, not looking at Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng smiled bitterly and summoned Qiao Zhi to see Cui Li. After confirming that Cui Li was fine, he let Qiao Zhi go.
Liang Sheng: "Li'er, I'm sorry, but I absolutely cannot let you go."
These words were said very decisively. Liang Sheng did not allow Cui Li to have any thoughts of leaving him.
In the past two months, he tasted the sweetness of love and was inseparable from Cui Li. He even thought about their future life together, and the future glory would be shared by him and Cui Li.
He didn't want to be alone.
Cui Li: "Liang Sheng, don't you find this ridiculous? Do you truly love me, or is possessiveness taking over? If you truly loved me, how could you favor someone else? From the Queen, Concubine Xu to Concubine Ji, whether you were just playing around or truly in love, your attitude and actions have left me bruised and battered."
Liang Sheng covered his eyes, his throat felt like it was being cut by a knife, making his voice hoarse.
Liang Sheng: "Perhaps emperors are always heartless, Li'er, and I am no exception. I love you, but I hurt you deeply. I clearly love you, but I flirt with other concubines. I really know I was wrong. When Liang Kingdom unifies the world, I will dismiss the harem, okay? It will just be you and me, and our child, and we will live together as a family forever."
Cui Li looked at him in surprise and wanted to mock him harshly. Even if a scumbag has someone in his heart, it doesn't stop him from finding another woman.
He also dismissed the harem. Who doesn’t know how to make empty promises?
But in the end she just spoke sadly.
Cui Li: "Have I never looked forward to being with my lover for the rest of my life? But I don't want to be a concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people. Things are unpredictable. Even if we really achieve great unification, you will be caught up in the reality. Can you still remember the vows you made? Whether it's the Queen or Ji Zhaoyi, they have always been with you. Can you bear to abandon them? And what about the child in Ji Zhaoyi's belly? Can you bear to let him be without his father's care?"
From Cui Li's sad words, Liang Sheng felt her distrust and the inextricable sadness.
Yes, he always hurt Cui Li and deceived her. After a long time, she became like a hedgehog, with her hard thorns erected, for fear of being hurt again.
Liang Sheng: "I will slowly resolve those matters. I will properly handle Ji Wei and the baby in her belly. I cannot shirk the responsibilities I should bear, but you don't need to mind them. Ji Wei is a little weird. If her fight with Ming Xiurong involves you, I will punish her without hesitation. I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you. I will slowly prove to you that I, Liang Sheng, will only love you in this life."
Cui Li: "Then prove it to me."
Cui Li's cold, sarcastic, and heartbroken eyes were like a sharp blade, piercing Liang Sheng's heart and making it bleed.
Cui Li turned her back and lay on her side, ignoring him.
Liang Sheng was silent for a moment, then hurried out of the inner room, feeling as if he was running away in a panic.
He told Cuiyun to take good care of her master, and then left quickly in the direction of Kunning Palace without even taking the imperial guard.
Soon, Le Chang came to Chengqian Palace with the imperial edict in his hand.
Cui Li took the imperial edict conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort with an expressionless face.
Le Chang was not annoyed, and said gently, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are most worried about you. His Majesty has things to do and will come to see you later. His Majesty is worried that you will be tired, so he specifically instructed the Ministry of Rites to keep the enthronement ceremony simple."
He paused, then continued, "Because Ji Zhaoyi was also pregnant, His Majesty was afraid of making enemies for you, so thanks to you, he took the opportunity to confer the title of Consort Ji, and the canonization ceremony was simple, just like yours."
Seeing that Le Chang still wanted to say something good about Liang Sheng, Cui Li said directly.
Cui Li: "Thank you, Eunuch Lechang, for taking this trip. It would be better if the enthronement ceremony is simple. Cuiyun, please reward the eunuchs well."
Cuiyun put away the golden book and golden treasure, and thanked His Majesty and Le Chang with a smile.
Leaving everything to Cuiyun, Cui Li turned around and returned to the inner room.
System Qiqi: "Wow, is this damn emperor compensating you? When there is a queen, generally no one will be given the title of Imperial Noble Consort. Imperial Noble Consort is equivalent to the vice queen and can take charge of the affairs of the six palaces. Will Emperor Liang depose the queen and make you the queen?"
Cui Li: “Impossible!”
Qiqi was a little confused. Liang Sheng seemed to love Cui Li very much, so why would he not be willing to give her the position of queen?
