Cheng Mingran had just changed her clothes when she called Shuhua over: "Please help me dress up tonight, and ask the kitchen staff to prepare some more side dishes and wine."

Shuhua looked at his queen: "His Majesty is coming over tonight, Queen..."

"Send someone to invite His Majesty and ask Him to come over earlier. Tell him that I want to have dinner with Him." Cheng Mingran interrupted Shuhua.

Shuhua could probably guess what Cheng Mingran wanted to do. Although she was worried, she didn't dare to say anything.

She had angered Ji Lingzhou today, and since he had said he would come over in the evening, she should admit her mistake... and satisfy him.

After Ji Lingzhou returned, his mind was still restless. All he could think about was what had just happened in Lianyi Palace. He felt a little annoyed. How could he suddenly lose control? This had never happened before.

Clearly the reason I went there today was because I was worried that she would lock herself in the room and be in a bad mood, so why did this situation end up happening?

No, worry? Just now, he subconsciously attributed his concern for Cheng Mingran to his worry about her. But what was there about her that was worth worrying about? And how could he possibly worry about a little concubine?

Thinking about what he had just done, his mind was filled with confusion and he couldn't calm down. But what made him even more upset was that Cheng Mingran really wanted to avoid him, and even began to hate, dislike and fear his approach.

When did she start to behave like this? It seemed to be after she was put in the cold palace...

For some reason, Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was about to lose something very important.

He really wanted to catch it, but he didn't know where it was, nor how to catch it, so he was left feeling depressed.

Cheng Mingran's current alienation from him has plunged him into a whirlpool, in which he has been struggling with himself, wondering what kind of feelings he has for her and what he should do.

However, before he could figure it all out, the palace maids from Lianyi Palace came over.

"Your Majesty, the people around Concubine Shu are here." Li Sheng reminded.

What? Someone came over right after I left?

"Your servant greets His Majesty." The palace maid of Lianyi Palace knelt down in front of Ji Lingzhou.

"But what's the matter with Concubine Shu?" he asked, and Li Sheng, who was about to ask for him, choked. In the past, he would have asked such questions himself, so how could His Majesty waste his breath?

Why are you so impatient to ask today?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu said that she would like to invite Your Majesty to go to Lianyi Palace early tonight. She has already asked people to prepare wine and food, and she wants to have dinner with Your Majesty." The palace servant replied.

Dining together? If it was in the past, Cheng Mingran doing these things would be normal, and Ji Lingzhou would definitely not be surprised at all.

But now...his sinful lips were almost pursed into a line. He was so afraid of me just now, but now he wants to invite me to have dinner with him?

"After I left, was she in a bad mood? Did she cry?" She was always bound by various etiquette in front of him, so she tried hard not to cry out loud. He knew it all.

I left there just now because I thought that after I left, she might not have so many concerns. If she wanted to cry or vent her emotions, I would let her do it and give her space.

but……

"Empress Shufei didn't cry. She even asked the palace servants to help her with her dressing. She didn't look unhappy at all." said the palace servant.

A voice immediately popped up in Ji Lingzhou's mind: It's fake, she is pretending to be fine... She was obviously so scared just now, how could she be fine?

Ji Lingzhou suddenly felt a little powerless. He sighed softly: "Okay, I got it. Go back and tell Concubine Shu that I will go there as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After the palace servant left, Ji Lingzhou looked at Li Sheng next to him and said, "Send someone to the warehouse to select some things and send them to Lianyi Palace."

Is His Majesty preparing to reward Concubine Shu? They heard the noise in the room clearly from outside. Li Sheng thought His Majesty must be furious this time, but what happened now?

Why did he suddenly feel that it was His Majesty who had upset Concubine Shu, and now he wanted to appease Concubine Shu? Select something to send over? Was this a sign of weakness or an apology?

But no matter how many questions he had in his mind, Li Sheng had no courage to speak them out, and could only answer politely: "Yes"

Just as Li Sheng turned around and was about to give orders, Ji Lingzhou suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait."

"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Li Sheng asked.

"When you send it over, don't say it's a reward, just say it's from me." Ji Lingzhou said.

Li Sheng: "???" What's the logic behind this? Your Majesty, is he really possessed by evil spirits?

The things that the emperor gave were just rewards, and now His Majesty has even carefully corrected it to be "gifts"? Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible, this is incredible~

"I understand." Li Sheng seemed to know some big secret. Your Majesty, this time... I'm afraid you are really serious?

After selecting, Li Sheng personally delivered these things to Lianyi Palace, which was also Ji Lingzhou's instruction.

When Cheng Mingran saw these things, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Shouldn't he be angry? Why did he send so many rewards?

In the past, even if I had not yet been sent to the cold palace, I rarely received rewards, and occasionally it was only due to various rules.

"I accept the reward from your majesty. Thank you for your hard work in making this trip. When you return, please trouble Eunuch Li to convey to your majesty, thank you for the reward." Cheng Mingran said, and the calligraphy and painting beside him also tactfully stuffed a bag of silver into her hand.

But Li Sheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing me? These are all sent by His Majesty to please you. His Majesty also specifically instructed that these things are not rewards, but gifts for you, please don't misunderstand."

"Send?" Cheng Mingran was also surprised when she heard this word.

Li Sheng smiled respectfully: "Isn't it? Your Majesty sincerely hopes that the Queen will be happy. Now that this thing has been delivered, I will not stay for long. I will go back and report to Your Majesty first. I will take my leave."

Cheng Mingran returned the greeting. If it were her old self, she would be extremely happy now. But now...

"Shuhua, put all these things away." She said in a calm tone, as if it was just an ordinary thing.
