Ji Lingzhou had just come out of court this morning when he heard that Cheng Mingran was summoned to Shoukang Palace by the Queen Mother. He also knew that it was Cheng Mingran's birthday.

and so……

"Go to Shoukang Palace." Ji Lingzhou said.

Li Sheng showed up without any surprise.

When Ji Lingzhou first arrived at Shoukang Palace, he heard voices coming from far away. It seemed that it was quite lively today.

When he arrived at the door, what he saw were the palace servants busy with their own things, seemingly arranging something.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The moment they saw Si Xuanzhi, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Ji Lingzhou waved his hand indifferently: "Where are the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu?" he asked.

"In reply to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager An Xin and the Concubine Shu are both inside. The Concubine Shu is changing clothes. However... the Empress Dowager said today that no one is allowed to disturb them." The palace maid said bravely.

Ji Lingzhou looked unhappy: "You mean it's a big deal if I go in?"

"I dare not!" The palace maids were frightened. They only conveyed the Queen Mother's words but did not dare to really stop her.

When Mo Mo inside saw Si Xuanzhi coming, he immediately told the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here."

"He's here after all." The Queen Mother was not surprised.

The nanny was helpless: "The Empress Dowager is very good at predicting things. The people outside don't dare to stop His Majesty. I think he should come in soon." She said.

The Queen Mother nodded: "I didn't think they could stop us in the first place. I said that we had to create an opportunity today."

"Yes..." The nanny agreed, and she couldn't help thinking that the Queen Mother really took great pains for Concubine Shu and His Majesty.

When Ji Lingzhou came in, the Queen Mother was sitting in the upper seat sipping tea. Seeing Ji Lingzhou coming in, she slowly put down the teacup and said, "Your Majesty is here? Didn't I tell you not to disturb anyone today? Your Majesty is busy with official duties all day, why did you come here today?"

Ji Lingzhou bowed and said: "Today is Concubine Shu's birthday, so I came to see her."

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, but Your Majesty never participated in the past. Today you actually came here specially to celebrate Ranran's birthday. I'm afraid Ranran can't bear it." said the Queen Mother.

Ji Lingzhou knew that the Queen Mother's words were meant to drive him away, but he pretended not to understand: "For Concubine Shu, this is nothing. Where is Concubine Shu? Why doesn't she come out?" Ji Lingzhou asked even though he knew the answer, meaning that he wanted to skip this topic.

However, just as the Queen Mother was about to speak, Cheng Mingran came out of the room.

Everyone in the hall looked over in an instant, and saw... a light yellow figure quietly appearing in front of everyone, like a soft spring breeze gently brushing across the heart.

Cheng Mingran was wearing a light yellow dress, the hem of which was light and flowing, swaying slightly with her steps, as if she was dancing a silent dance. The hem of her skirt was slightly lifted, revealing her slender ankles, giving people a gentle and shy feeling.

Her eyes were as clear as water, revealing a deep tranquility. Her gentle and warm gaze seemed to be able to melt the coldness in people's hearts.

When she came out, Cheng Mingran had a faint smile on her lips. That smile was warm and peaceful, as if it could instantly dispel people's inner sorrow. Ji Lingzhou was stunned when he saw it.

"Aunt..." Cheng Mingran called softly.

Her voice is soft and delicate, like a gurgling stream, flowing through the heart.

Her movements were graceful and calm, and she exuded a noble and tranquil temperament. Her movements were light and slow, which was the appearance of a lady from a noble family.

Ji Lingzhou stared at Cheng Mingran blankly. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her existence was like a quietly blooming flower. Although it was not ostentatious, it exuded a faint fragrance, which made people inadvertently attracted by her gentleness and quietness. This feeling was something she had never experienced before...
