Chapter 453: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (203)

Now it is the second day after giving birth. Cui Li has simply washed up. With Qiqi around, it is impossible for her to endure the stench for a month.

The room was tidied and clean. Xuan Wen brought the child to see Cui Li to discuss the child's name.

Xuan Wen stroked his long beard. Hearing Cui Li want the child to have her last name, he advised, "You want the child to have your last name, Cui? But in Daliang, the Cui family is a prominent and aristocratic clan. Almost everyone with the last name Cui is related to your clan, and the last name Cui is very eye-catching. Didn't you fake your death to escape and not want to return to the palace? What if the name arouses the suspicion of the Liang Emperor's spies? Wouldn't that be more trouble than good?"

Cui Li held the child and asked, "Master, what do you want?" "Haha, Tuantuan is a very cute child. I think he and I are destined to be together. How about he take my surname, Xuan? How about Xuan's jade quality?"

Cui Li chuckled. Tuantuan is now of the same generation as Xuan Yunian?

"Your surname, as the Imperial Master, and the name you chose, make it easier for people to associate you with the Prime Minister of Daliang! And you are Tuan Tuan's master, but my son Tuan Tuan and An Nian are not of the same generation."

Xuan Wen thought about it and agreed. The adopted son and Xiao Tuantuan were not of the same generation, so the name should be changed.

Cui Li looked at the bubbling baby sleeping in her arms and smiled, "My Cui family is a prominent clan, and we have so many descendants with the surname Cui. What's so conspicuous about it? Ordinary people may have to avoid the emperor's name, but they can also take the imperial surname. There are always a few people with the surname "Liang" in every county. Do you think of the emperor's relatives when you hear their surname? Besides, not all people with the surname Cui share the same ancestor with my Cui Guogong Mansion."

"So, even if Tuantuan's last name is Liang, it won't attract attention, right?" "If Tuantuan asks about his biological father someday, I'll tell him he took his last name, Liang. Tuantuan will get to the bottom of this once he knows what's going on. I'll tell him his life story one day, but not now, not in the next few years."

Xuan Wen understood Cui Li's words very well. In fact, the best way was to avoid surnames that the emperor was familiar with, not Cui, not Xuan, and certainly not Liang.

But he thought of that man, sighed and said, "I saw him."

"Who?"

"The biological father of this child."

"He...how did he find you?"

"He issued an imperial decree, activating the communication channel I left behind, and demanded to see me immediately. After much consideration, I appeared to meet him."

"Is he okay?"

"Not well, but not dead. He asked me, 'Are you really dead? How can I bring you and the prince back to life?' I said, 'You and the prince have already returned to the underworld,' and told him not to grieve or dwell on the past, but to put the country first."

Xuan Wen paused, then added, "I lied to him. If you still miss him and want to return to the palace, it's not too late."

Cui Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Now that things have come to this, I won't look back. If one day, Tuantuan becomes interested in that position and wants to fight for the throne, I, as his mother, will naturally not be able to stop him. But now, I can't let Tuantuan return to the treacherous palace."

Xuan Wen thought of the haggard Liang Sheng, and the pain, hatred, and coldness in his eyes, and shook his head. "Master is old, so I won't get involved in your affairs. But if you and Yunian team up to conceal this, you must think carefully about the consequences. Concubine Cui died with the emperor's child, and Concubine Ji is about to give birth to twins. The situation in the Liang Palace has suddenly changed. What happens next may not be what you expected."

Cui Li played with the white jade around Tuan Tuan's neck. It was flawless and soft to the touch. "Master, don't worry. Li'er understands. By the way, Li'er's mother's surname is Qiao. From now on, I will take her surname Qiao and change my name to Qiao Li, the carp from the double carp. As for Tuan Tuan, let's call him Qiao Shiyan. I hope my son will grow up to be as gentle as jade, but also have a hidden edge and the ability to protect himself."

"Qiao Shiyan? Okay, from now on, Tuan Tuan will be called Qiao Shiyan."

Xuan Wen left with the child, and Cui Li rested alone in the room. Although she couldn't help but think of the people and things in Liang Palace, she didn't dwell on it too much.

As for Ji Wei mentioned by Master Xuan Wen, well, even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. Whether Ji Wei will be bitten by the rabbit she has always looked down upon depends on whether the rabbit wants to linger on or bite the enemy.

That was the struggle in the Liang Palace, and she only needed to watch from the sidelines.
