Chapter 285 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-four)
Liang Sheng came out of his thoughts and smiled gently.
Liang Sheng: "It's nothing. I just found out that a few officials were selling official positions and titles, and I'm preparing to rectify the government. Don't worry, I'll take care of it quickly."
Cui Li: "Yeah, anger is harmful to the body, brother Sheng, don't be too angry. If there is anything that my father or brother can do for you in the court, brother Sheng, just tell them. I wonder how my father, mother, and brother are doing?"
Liang Sheng felt a little bitter. Ever since the late emperor ordered Ji to be appointed as the Crown Princess, he was forced to fall out with Cui Li. Cui Jing, the elder brother of the Cui family, resigned from his official position, and Duke Cui was transferred from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Rites. After he ascended the throne, he wanted to let Duke Cui return to the Ministry of Personnel, but he refused. He is currently serving as the Minister of Rites.
But Duke Cui was not as close to him as a nephew. He was more respectful than close. It should be said that the same was true of Cui's aunt.
Liang Sheng: "When the late emperor was still alive, my brother resigned from his official position and became a teacher at the thousand-year-old Songshan Academy. In a short time, he became the principal. I sent orders several times to invite my brother back to the court to help me, but he always declined. After so many times, I had no choice but to let him go. My uncle is now the Minister of Rites and has a relatively free time on weekdays. My aunt is in good health and came to the palace to see you some time ago."
Cui Li listened carefully, asked a few more questions about the Cui family's recent situation, and finally sighed.
Cui Li: "Brother actually resigned from his official position! But he is the pride of our Cui family, he won the first place in the imperial examination and is extremely talented. I think the academy is more comfortable than the officialdom, he lives a carefree life among the clouds and wild cranes, and the mountains and rivers are so interesting. Naturally, he doesn't want to come back!"
Liang Sheng thought of Cui Jing from the Cui family, a graceful and elegant person, dressed in white and elegant clothes, wearing the uniform of a teacher. He looked more elegant and easy-going than he did in the uniform of a fourth-rank official.
As the head of aristocratic families, the Cui family’s history in the Liang Dynasty was not as long as that of the Cui family, so Cui Jing, the direct descendant, naturally attracted much attention.
Before Liang Sheng met Xuan Yunian, he often felt that Cui Jing was worthy of being a descendant of the Cui family. He was knowledgeable and knew when to advance and retreat. With him around, the Cui family would continue to prosper.
Xuan Yunian, the adopted son of the imperial teacher, was well versed in astronomy, calendar, divination, astrology, and military strategies. His blue robe made him look elegant and handsome.
The new emperor once compared Cui Jing with Xuan Yunian. Cui Jing was more gentlemanly and more tolerant towards others. Xuan Yunian had a bit of coldness and aloofness under his gentle and elegant appearance. He was not as fair and upright in handling state affairs. He was deep-minded, but more in line with Emperor Liang's taste.
So, only one year after Emperor Liang ascended the throne, after the old prime minister retired, he appointed Xuan Yunian as the successor prime minister to promote reforms and inject a lot of fresh blood into the new dynasty.
Oh, forget it. Xuan Yunian is here. If Cui Jing is willing to stay in Songshan Academy, just let him go.
Liang Sheng no longer worried about Cui Jing's unwillingness to be an official. He gathered his thoughts again and focused only on the person in front of him.
Liang Sheng: "I heard that pregnant women are particularly prone to hunger. If you feel hungry at night, remember to call Brother Sheng. It's not pleasant to be hungry. If you feel thirsty in the middle of the night, I will pour you some water."
Cui Li smiled and nodded. She would not let herself be wronged. When she was hungry or thirsty, she would definitely ask Liang Sheng for help.
Liang Sheng didn't know what a pregnant woman couldn't eat or do. It was only after Cui Li became pregnant that he took the initiative to care about what the baby in her belly was doing.
It is not easy to be pregnant for ten months. He does not want to lose his beloved son again, especially since this is the prince he has always hoped to conceive with his sweetheart.
Well, he could also learn some kneading techniques. He heard that pregnant women would feel swollen and uncomfortable, and kneading would make them feel better. However, if he kneaded her randomly, he might hurt Li'er. He would have to ask the director of the Imperial Hospital more and pay more attention to Li'er's pregnancy.
Liang Sheng: "Although I can't feel the baby's movements yet, I'm looking forward to meeting him."
Liang Sheng: "Our prince must be sleeping now. When he wakes up, he will greet his father, the emperor, and his mother."
Cui Li: "Yes, the emperor is accumulating strength and waiting to come out to see us."
Liang Sheng gently touched Cui Li's black hair, which was as smooth as a waterfall, and lightly kissed her forehead.
Liang Sheng: "The prince needs to sleep, and his mother also needs to go to bed. Go to sleep, Li'er..."
Cui Li obediently closed her eyes, snuggled up to Liang Sheng's broad shoulders, and slowly fell asleep...
