Chapter 471 The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Twenty-One)

The palace symbolizes wealth and splendor. Beneath the pile of bones, some people shed tears of regret, while others are eager to climb higher and achieve fame and fortune by stepping on the bones.

Midsummer has long passed and late autumn has quietly arrived.

In Wuliu City, thousands of kilometers away from Liangdu, maple leaves dye the mountains red in autumn, green water surrounds the red mountains, and the farmyards are full of the joy of harvest.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Cui Li has already lived in Wuliu City for three months. While in the county town, Cui Li gave birth to her son, Qiao Shiyan, nicknamed Tuantuan. When Tuantuan was one month old, Han Tong and Han Zhao, siblings, brought Cui Li and her son to Wuliu City, a city close to the sea.

Liang, Ji and Qi were bordering each other. Liang was located in the east, Qi was located in the west and Ji was located in the south. Disputes were inevitable on the borders of the three countries. Wuliu City was located in the southeast of Liang. Three hundred miles further south was the Xiaoju Mountain, which stretched for ten miles. After crossing the Xiaoju Mountain, you would reach the Longdu River.

The Longdu River is two hundred meters wide and flows southeast from the southwestern plateau of Liang State to Ji State. Two-thirds of the Longdu River is within the territory of Liang State, and one-third of the Longdu River serves as the natural boundary between the two countries. South of the Longdu River is Ji State.

Because the Longdu River flows rapidly and has a wide view, under normal circumstances, the Ji State would not invade the Liang State from the Longdu River, and the same was true for the Liang State. When the two countries went to war before, they chose the southwest border.

This means that Wuliu City is currently very safe and is not afraid of the impact of war. Moreover, Cui Li learned from Qiqi that if you go east of this continent, there is a large island about a month's sailing away. The island is rich in resources and very suitable for living.

If he could no longer stay in Liang State, Cui Li could also go to that island. For the sake of the future, Cui Li also planned to wait until Tuantuan grew up a little and go out to sea himself. However, a ship was needed to go out to sea. When sailing on the sea, the ship was very important and could not be taken lightly, so the matter of going out to sea had to be considered carefully.

"Come on, Tuan Tuan, look here."

Cui Li was teasing the baby with a beautiful little drum. The white and tender little ball stretched out its arms to hold the drum, but Cui Li was teasing it and it could not get the drum. The baby pouted and babbled.

"Ah! Ah! Ugh! Eh! Ugh!"

Seeing the child was a little anxious, Cui Li chuckled and said, "Oh, is our Tuantuan going to cry? If our mother is not good, she will bully us Tuantuan."

Cui Li picked up the little boy and put the small drum in his hand. As she whispered softly, the little boy laughed out loud. His little hands shook the small drum, and a thudding sound filled the room.

"Madam, there is a letter from the Lord."

Han Zhao entered the room and took the gurgling little boy from Cui Li's hands. Knowing his aunt, he naturally didn't cry or make a fuss. However, in Han Zhao's arms, he tilted his head to look at his mother and shook the small drum next to her ear.

"Tuantuan is so good. Your mother is busy, so Aunt Zhao will play with you."

Han Zhao smiled and teased the baby, while Cui Li went to the study.

Xuan Yunian first showed concern for Cui Li and Tuan Tuan, and sent many gifts. He then mentioned Ji Wei's childbirth. He first talked about Liang Sheng naming the two princes and princesses, and then mentioned Ji Wei's behind-the-scenes manipulation, stealing the baby and secretly killing Ji Shilan.

Cui Li was the only one in the study, but Qiqi was in her mind and could chat with her.

She sighed, "This palace is really restless. Ji Wei is so bold that she replaced the dragon son and confused the bloodline. Did she really think Liang Sheng wouldn't find out? She has made an enemy of the Ji family. If there is a war in the future, Ji Jiuyuan will probably not show mercy to the Ji army. Well, that's not right. How could Ji Wei let her enemy go? She will probably attack the Ji family." Qiqi gloated, "The Ji family is the leader in military generals, and the Cui family is in charge of civil affairs. The Cui family is unlikely to help Ji Wei. She wants to get rid of the Ji family, but it's not that easy. Ji Wei is stupid and vicious. She claims to be smart, but she is snobbish. In my opinion, those Ji secret guards and witches will definitely stab Ji Wei in the back in the future."

Cui Li could also see that Ji Wei was unable to control Wu Lan at all, and Wu Lan only listened to Ji Wei on the surface.

Now the two need each other, but one day when their interests conflict, they will turn against each other and become enemies.
