When Li Sheng left, his mind became active. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the Concubine Shu didn't seem very excited.

In the past, if His Majesty had asked the palace servants to send some rewards to Lianyi Palace, then the Concubine Shu would be very happy for a while, but today...

However, His Majesty has been acting very abnormally these past few days. To be honest, he always feels that the relationship between His Majesty and the Concubine Shu seems to be slowly becoming opposite?

He didn't dare to think too much, so he had to hurry back to report to His Majesty. When Ji Lingzhou heard his reply, he didn't know what to think. In fact, he hadn't calmed down since he came back from Lianyi Palace.

Later, when Li Sheng went to Lianyi Palace, his heart almost followed him there, and he could not read these memorials at all. Moreover, he was upset when he read these things. Recently, there was nothing going on in the court, so some people kept a close eye on the Cheng family.

Ji Lingzhou was a little annoyed. As for the Cheng family, as long as he wanted to let them go, the Cheng family's crime was nothing. After all, the original matter could not withstand investigation, but he had always wanted to use the Cheng family's affairs to deal with Ji Chenan's affairs.

"How are the people sent to keep an eye on the Cheng family's military camp?" he asked.

Li Sheng bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no news from over there, so I guess there is nothing unusual."

The previous riot was also the driving force behind the Cheng family's imprisonment, but Ji Lingzhou had already found out that those who caused trouble were not from the Cheng family's military camp.

In fact, in these years, apart from Ji Lingzhou's fear of the Cheng family, there are many people watching the Cheng family. As long as the leader of the Cheng family falls, they will have more opportunities.

Therefore, Ji Lingzhou is not the only one who hopes for the downfall of the Cheng family. Otherwise, how could there be so many memorials reporting the evidence of the Cheng family's crimes after they were imprisoned?

Ripple Palace

Cheng Mingran had already ordered someone to prepare dinner. She had always known Ji Lingzhou's preferences. So the emperor's happiness should not be easily revealed, but if Cheng Mingran, who grew up with him since childhood, didn't even know his most common preferences, then all these years of following him would be in vain.

Cheng Mingran also dressed up carefully today. She was wearing a lake blue long skirt with a front opening and embroidered with cloud patterns, which made her look elegant and refined. She had a white belt tied around her waist with an exquisite orchid pattern embroidered on it. She was wearing a gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, which vaguely showed her graceful figure.

Cheng Mingran wears a gold jade hairpin on her head, moon-shaped earrings on her ear, and long tassels on her shoulders, showing her elegance and grace. Her black hair flows down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her eyebrows reveal a noble temperament. She has red lips, white teeth, eyebrows like a new moon, and skin like snow. She looks radiant at a glance.

When Ji Lingzhou came over, she had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Your Majesty," Cheng Mingran immediately asked for the luggage, but Ji Lingzhou was quicker and pulled him up directly: "Don't be so polite. Why are you standing at the door waiting so early? It's windy outside."

Cheng Mingran did not dodge his hand: "Yes"

Ji Lingzhou discovered that Cheng Mingran was different. In fact, Cheng Mingran was the most beautiful girl in the past. Her appearance was one of the best in the whole capital, and she often spent time dressing up. Especially every time she saw him, she always made people amazed at first sight.

Although I was not very interested in her at that time and was mostly distant from her, I had to admit that Cheng Mingran's appearance was so stunning that she would pale in comparison to anyone in the harem.

But after coming out of the cold palace, she lost a lot of weight. The cold and cold weather in the cold palace for several months made her look haggard. In addition, she was very plain most of the time after coming out, and she was not in the mood to dress up, so when she saw her dressed up this time, Ji Lingzhou also had a dazed look in his eyes.

At that glance, he felt as if he saw the bright little girl again. But as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Ji Lingzhou was pulled back to reality. His eyes were dim, and the two of them were still alienated.

It’s just that I was the one who ignored her before, but now... she is the one who is being polite to me and doesn’t want to get close to me.

Ji Lingzhou accompanied Cheng Mingran into the palace, and the dinner was already prepared. He took a quick look and had to admit that it was all prepared according to his taste.

"Your Majesty, please..." Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou.

Ji Lingzhou sat down aside: "Let's sit together." he said.

He originally thought that she would stay away from him like last time, so when he was about to let her sit next to him, Cheng Mingran actually took the initiative to sit down next to him this time.

"I have asked someone to warm up the wine. Your Majesty, would you like to have a drink with me?" Cheng Mingran asked.

Ji Lingzhou looked at him: "Can you drink?" he asked. In his impression, Cheng Mingran rarely drank.

Cheng Mingran nodded: "I can't drink much, but if Your Majesty is interested, I can have a few drinks with Your Majesty."

Ji Lingzhou became thoughtful and agreed after two moments of silence: "Since you have asked someone to prepare it, I will not let anyone down." Does this mean he should drink it?

Cheng Mingran had someone serve wine, but when the palace servant was about to pour wine for Ji Lingzhou, she stood up: "Let me do it." She took the wine jug from the palace servant and filled it for him herself.

"Today I have seen my father, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for his grace." She raised the wine glass.

Ji Lingzhou also raised his head: "It's not a grace, it's just not an ordinary thing. Now that it's over, don't think about it anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I toast to Your Majesty." After saying that, Cheng Mingran picked up the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

The words that Ji Lingzhou wanted to say to stop her were stuck in his throat, and he finally sighed and said, "Forget it." He looked at the glass of wine in his hand, and without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp like her.

Cheng Mingran rarely drinks. Although she wanted to please Ji Lingzhou today because of what happened during the day, she was in a bad mood after all.

I heard that drinking alcohol can relieve worries, as the saying goes, drinking alcohol can make your sorrows disappear. She also wants to know if this wine can really make all your worries disappear?

Cheng Mingran felt bitter in her heart, but she still maintained her usual dignified and steady expression: "Let me offer another toast to Your Majesty. I was ignorant before and did many wrong things. I also offended Your Majesty and made Your Majesty angry. I apologize here." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Lingzhou did not respond this time, but just accompanied her to drink. How could he not see that the little woman in front of him was in a bad mood? Since she wanted to drink, let her drink. After all, no one dared to say anything here.
