After His Majesty's rebirth, he personally taught the queen to abuse the scumbag

The table fell into silence in an instant, with only the occasional sound of silverware colliding and the gentle footsteps of palace maids and eunuchs.

Cheng Mingran was absent-minded, and she didn't have much appetite, and she felt dizzy and nauseous, so she didn't eat much. She looked up at Ji Lingzhou, and it must be said that Ji Lingzhou's every move was elegant and reserved like an aristocrat.

He sat upright, his movements were gentle and calm, neither hurried nor slow, and he maintained the royal dignity and respect throughout the meal.

Cheng Mingran was also personally raised by the Queen Mother, so her etiquette was naturally impeccable. However, she had been favored and spoiled since she was a child, so the Queen Mother did not restrict her words and deeds too much.

But Ji Lingzhou is different, because he is a member of the royal family and the one who will inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, almost every action of his is carved out in various etiquette.

Cheng Mingran often wondered if he must be very tired like this. But rather than saying he was tired, it would be better to say that he had gotten used to it.

"Have you finished eating?" Ji Lingzhou asked after looking at Cheng Mingran who had hardly moved.

"Yeah," Cheng Mingran responded.

"Can't eat? Still feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I just feel a little dizzy." Cheng Mingran replied.

"You should eat something so that you can take the medicine later." Ji Lingzhou said. It was rare for him to worry about these things.

"The people in the imperial kitchen have prepared bird's nests. Your Majesty Shufei can have some." Li Sheng also mentioned it, and then asked the palace servants to bring the bird's nest next to it to her.

Seeing that she looked a little embarrassed, Ji Lingzhou added: "You didn't eat much just now. Even if you can't eat, you have to eat something to fill your stomach."

Cheng Mingran looked at the bowl of bird's nest in front of her. The food was good, but she really couldn't eat it now. But under Ji Lingzhou's gaze, she still resisted the pressure and forced herself to eat a small half.

Seeing that she really felt uncomfortable eating, Ji Lingzhou didn't force her after all: "Okay, if you really can't eat it, then don't eat it."

If he ate any more, he would probably vomit. Hearing this, Cheng Mingran felt as if she had been pardoned and gently put down the spoon.

After the meal, the palace maid brought Cheng Mingran's medicine over. It was a pitch-black bowl, and the strong smell of medicine could be smelled from a long distance away.

Cheng Mingran has hated taking medicine since she was a child, and she is particularly afraid of bitter medicine. Now, looking at this bowl of medicine, her brows are furrowed so much that she can pinch a mosquito to death.

"Given your current physical condition, you must take the medicine. Hurry up. If it gets cold, it will affect the efficacy of the medicine and it will be useless to drink it." Ji Lingzhou reminded her when he saw her hesitant look.

Cheng Mingran didn't know how much mental preparation she had to put in before she picked up the bowl of medicine. But the taste of the medicine was so strong that she felt like vomiting just as she was about to drink it.

Ji Lingzhou frowned. Is it so difficult?

However, Cheng Mingran's appearance just now reminded him of the past...

Because Cheng Mingran actually grew up in the palace, the two had more time and opportunities to interact with each other when they were young.

He still remembered that Cheng Mingran was sick when she was a child, maybe five or six years old? Then the Queen Mother held her in her arms and coaxed her to drink medicine.

Because she was afraid of bitterness and didn't want to drink it, the Queen Mother and the palace maids thought of various ways. They even used sugar water to lure her. After Cheng Mingran was tricked into drinking the medicine, her little face was wrinkled, which was quite funny to watch.

Later, Cheng Mingran learned her lesson and never drank the so-called "sugar water" again. She looked angry and made everyone laugh and cry.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingzhou suddenly came back to his senses. Why did he suddenly think of something so long ago? He glanced at Cheng Mingran, who had just picked up the medicine bowl, and his thoughts were pulled back.

"Drink it while it's hot, and don't make me urge you for the third time." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran was helpless, and finally realized that she had no way to refuse this bowl of medicine, so she drank it all in one go.

Bitter and unpleasant smell...

Her face quickly turned ugly, and she was able to control her expression only because Ji Lingzhou was there.

Suddenly, she felt her stomach churning. Cheng Mingran reached out to cover her mouth, but the smell of medicine rushed straight into her head, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Bring the spittoon," Ji Lingzhou reacted.

The palace maid hurriedly brought the spittoon over. Cheng Mingran finally couldn't control the discomfort in her heart anymore, and she vomited out in a very ungraceful way.

Ji Lingzhou frowned. He became like this after drinking a bowl of medicine?

Cheng Mingran really couldn't help it. She vomited for a long time and only felt a little better when she knew that everything in her stomach was emptied.

The bitter taste in her mouth made her dizzy. The smell of medicine almost filled the entire room. It was too uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty?" The palace maid patted her back gently.

Shame...

Cheng Mingran was helpless. How could she have done such a disrespectful thing in front of Ji Lingzhou? After she vomited, she took a long time to calm down. Ji Lingzhou asked someone to bring her some water.

Cheng Mingran rinsed her mouth. She felt ashamed to face people. After vomiting, her cheeks and ears were all red.

"Are you feeling better?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran forced herself to straighten up: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I..." Her eyes were red because she had just vomited.

"Send someone to boil the medicine again later." Ji Lingzhou said.

Still can't escape the fate of taking medicine.

"Rest well, and let the imperial physician come over to take a look after you finish your medicine. I have something else to deal with, so I won't stay here."

Cheng Mingran stood up as well: "Yes..." she answered.

Ji Lingzhou didn't waste any time, but before leaving...

He saw Concubine De still kneeling outside the palace, and the scene just now reappeared in his mind. She was indeed somewhat lawless. How dare she attack the high-ranking concubines so blatantly in the palace?

Concubine De also saw the people coming out of the palace. She had been kneeling here for an hour with half of her face swollen and red.

"Defei is so bold and presumptuous that she openly harmed the imperial concubines. She is now demoted to a concubine, punished to kneel for two hours, and confined to her house for three months." Ji Lingzhou gave the order directly.

"Your Majesty?" Defei seemed a little unable to believe that Ji Lingzhou would punish her severely because of Cheng Mingran.

It was a pity that Ji Lingzhou would not be soft-hearted for her. After delivering the decree, he did not even stop for a moment and left Lianyi Palace directly.

Cheng Mingran was the first to know about the imperial decree that Concubine Daode would be punished. She was actually stunned for a moment. If Ji Lingzhou just wanted to tolerate her temporarily for some purpose, then he shouldn't have demoted two high-ranking concubines in a row, right?
