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

On the way back, Cheng Mingran followed Ji Lingzhou silently, following closely, looking like a little tail.

Ji Lingzhou was also silent, so the only sound between the two of them was the sound of raindrops falling, dripping on the umbrella, the ground, and the trees. If someone didn't know what was going on, they would have thought it was music coming from somewhere.

Because of the heavy rain, it was foggy, and the music really had a unique flavor. Cheng Mingran had never walked slowly with him on a rainy day, so this feeling was very strange.

"It might snow in a while." Ji Lingzhou suddenly said. Cheng Mingran didn't know how to answer, or maybe she didn't want to answer, so she just replied perfunctorily with a "hmm".

Ji Lingzhou felt that she was a little cold, but he just frowned and said nothing more: "If you are afraid of the cold, you can ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare more charcoal."

"There are fixed rules in the palace. I'm afraid that I'll break the rules by doing this," said Cheng Mingran.

Rules, rules, and more rules. Why does she have so many rules now? I have told her so many times, but she doesn't listen to a word.

"Do you have to follow so many rules and regulations when talking to me now?" Ji Lingzhou was dissatisfied.

Cheng Mingran was silent.

The atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

In the end, it was Ji Lingzhou who compromised first. He was a little helpless: "Forget it, I will just assume that you are still not used to it. Don't talk about this again in the future."

Cheng Mingran lowered her eyes: "Yes." No matter what he said, it would always be right for her to agree to it.

Ji Lingzhou and Cheng Mingran arrived at Lianyi Palace in a short while. Because they were escorted all the way, they didn't get wet much, but because the rain outside was so heavy, they were inevitably splashed with some water.

"You've been caught in the rain today. Let someone get some hot water so you can take a shower and change your clothes." Ji Lingzhou said, and took the initiative to untie her outer robe.

"I don't need it..." This is too much of an exaggeration. I still need to take a bath?

"Go ahead." Ji Lingzhou's words meant that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Cheng Mingran had no choice but to bow and leave. The palace servants hurried to prepare hot water, while Ji Lingzhou asked someone to prepare ginger soup.

Inside the hall, the oil lamps flickered with a faint light, and the inner hall was filled with the faint scent of agarwood from the incense. When the hot water was added, the fairy mist curled up, making people feel like they were in a fairyland.

The maid rolled up her sleeves, picked up the copper kettle, and poured water into the bathtub little by little.

The sound of water is pleasant and intoxicating.

On the wooden rack next to the tub, the maid hung various spice bags that exuded a faint fragrance. Then the maid carefully selected one and put it in the tub. The fragrance immediately filled the whole room.

Cheng Mingran stood on one side, and the maid came over and gently lifted the woman's dress, her movements were gentle and skillful. She carefully untied the belt of the dress, and as the belt loosened, the dress gently slid to the ground. Cheng Mingran's snow-white skin gradually revealed, against the soft light, it looked even more delicate and moving.

Then, the maid gently took off the woman's underwear and stroked her shoulders and back with her hands, as if brushing away her fatigue from the day. The underwear was gently put aside, and the woman's figure became more graceful.

But... the intricate scars on Cheng Mingran's body are frightening to look at.

Cheng Mingran slowly took off her complicated dress and, helped by the palace maid, slowly entered the bathtub. The warm water submerged her body, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling.

Her long hair flowed over her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few drops of water occasionally falling, sparkling with crystal light. The maid picked up a clean towel and carefully wiped the woman's body. She started from the woman's shoulders and gently wiped along the texture of her skin, her movements gentle and careful. Not a single detail was left out.

Cheng Mingran closed her eyes and enjoyed the bathing time. She raised her arms and rubbed her body gently. The water in the tub gradually rippled, reflecting the rain-beaten branches and leaves outside the window. The room was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of water and the woman's gentle breathing intertwined.

When Ji Lingzhou came in, he stopped the palace maid who was about to salute. The palace maid stepped aside and he walked in lightly.

Cheng Mingran had her back to the outside, so she had no idea that there was a new Ji Lingzhou in the hall. In fact, she hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

Ji Lingzhou originally came in just to take a look and see if she really had those scars. But now after coming in, he was unconsciously infected by this atmosphere. He looked at Cheng Mingran who was not far away, but because of the bathtub, he could not see her body.

Ji Lingzhou slowly moved forward, step by step...

The palace maid who was helping Cheng Mingran take a bath was startled when she saw Ji Lingzhou.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you!" she shouted.

Cheng Mingran was also frightened by this sentence. She turned around quickly and saw Ji Lingzhou who had walked up to her.

"Your Majesty?" She subconsciously covered herself with her hands in front of her chest, and her whole body fell into the water.

"Step back," Ji Lingzhou said.

The palace maid was about to leave in a hurry. Cheng Mingran felt uneasy, especially when they were the only two left in the room. Her nervousness was magnified once again.

Ji Lingzhou stopped in front of him and watched her movements. He was too lazy to cheer up for once: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, why are you covering it so tightly?"

Cheng Mingran couldn't tell whether she was shy or what, but her face instantly became mature.

"Is the water very hot? It's so hot? Your face is so red?" Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was deliberately teasing her.

Cheng Mingran didn't know where Ji Lingzhou suddenly got this evil taste from, so she could only suppress her nervousness and ask, "Why is your majesty here? Have you been waiting for a long time? I'll be ready soon."

"You didn't have to wait long. Now that you're ready, get up." Ji Lingzhou clearly did this on purpose.

Cheng Mingran looked embarrassed. He asked her to stand up, but he didn't mean to avoid her. Cheng Mingran looked helpless. Finally, she could only bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, can you please step aside for a moment?"

"Avoid? Avoid what? Is there anything on your body that I haven't seen?" Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran: “…”

Having said that, she is still not used to it.

Seeing Cheng Mingran was shrinking timidly, Ji Lingzhou's eyes dimmed slightly, and his gaze fell on the small part of her neck and collarbone that was exposed: "Are you still not going to get up? The water will be cold soon."

Forget it, just die.

The warm water was shimmering with silver light, and Cheng Mingran was slowly rising from the water. Her figure was graceful, like a lotus in the water.

Of course...

When she stood up, Ji Lingzhou's eyes changed instantly. Her body was covered with scars, some of which were new and some were old scars, which were particularly eye-catching under the candlelight.
