Ji Lingzhou helped Cheng Mingran up, then looked at Li Sheng: "Take the piano down and have someone repair it and send it over." He said.

Li Sheng agreed repeatedly, and Ji Lingzhou held Cheng Mingran's hand: "The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days. Don't always stay outside in the wind. Why are your hands so cold?"

"I just played the piano for a while, so I feel a little cold." Cheng Mingran replied.

"Go in." Ji Lingzhou didn't say much.

Cheng Mingran said "hmm", and then followed Ji Lingzhou back to the inner hall.

The charcoal fire in the house was still quite strong, and it was warm as soon as I came in. Ji Lingzhou was quite satisfied. However...

"Are you still dizzy?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran's body stiffened, and her expression was indescribable: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine now." She replied.

In fact, she wanted to say something else, but she didn't know how to start. What happened last night...she felt a headache when she thought about it. How should she say it? But was Ji Lingzhou really not angry?

She carefully observed Ji Lingzhou's expression. Ji Lingzhou sat down beside her and said, "I've never seen you drink so much before, but you didn't hesitate yesterday."

Cheng Mingran was almost too embarrassed to face anyone: "Yesterday I lost my temper and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me." As she said this, Cheng Mingran was about to kneel down, but Ji Lingzhou stopped her arm.

Before she even knelt down, Ji Lingzhou had already helped her up: "You have to change the rule of kneeling all the time. When did I ever say I would blame you? Don't be so startled all the time."

"Last night, I..." Cheng Mingran lowered her head, seeming to want to say something but stopped herself.

"What happened last night?" Ji Lingzhou clearly did this on purpose, he even raised his eyebrows with a malicious look on his face.

Cheng Mingran didn’t actually remember it very clearly, but she remembered some things vaguely, especially the scene where she insisted on hugging him and undressing in front of him.

"I thought you were drunk and couldn't remember those things, but I didn't expect you could still remember them." Ji Lingzhou said.

If he originally just wanted to come and see how this little woman would react if she remembered what happened last night, now that he saw Cheng Mingran looking so nervous and restrained, he no longer had so many thoughts.

"The way you look when you're drunk is somewhat similar to how you looked before. Compared to how you look now, you look quite comfortable when you're drunk." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran really didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday. She sighed silently in her heart: "It was me who was too rude yesterday."

"But I think you were better last night." Ji Lingzhou suddenly said this.

Cheng Mingran was slightly stunned. She looked up at Ji Lingzhou. What did he just say? But before she could think about it, a palace servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, today's memorials are all here."

They brought all the memorials? Cheng Mingran looked over when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw that all the eunuchs were holding memorials.

Ji Lingzhou would never handle state affairs with any of the concubines, so why did they all come here today?

"Put it aside." Ji Lingzhou said.

Were we really going to handle government affairs here? Cheng Mingran almost thought she had heard it wrong.

"Do you have anything else to do today?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly asked.

Cheng Mingran hadn't reacted yet, but she subconsciously shook her head when she heard this.

"Since you have nothing to do, then grind the ink for me here today." Ji Lingzhou said.

Huh? What? When did Ji Lingzhou need someone else to serve him with writing?

"Yes" Unfortunately she didn't dare to disobey anything.

Ji Lingzhou walked over and sat down at the table. Cheng Mingran stood aside, but...

"Sit down." Ji Lingzhou blurted out.

Sit down? Without waiting for Cheng Mingran to refuse, Ji Lingzhou pulled her to sit down beside him. Cheng Mingran's breath was stagnant at such a close distance. She dared not make a sound, and even her breathing became lighter.

"Can't you sit down? Or is it more comfortable to stand?" Ji Lingzhou was helpless.

Cheng Mingran kept silent, but silently took the red ink beside her, not even daring to turn her head. You know, the memorials in Ji Lingzhou's hands are all about the court, and she, a little concubine, dare not look at them carelessly.

Ji Lingzhou was quite serious when reviewing these memorials, and for a moment the hall became quiet.

There were quite a lot of memorials, and Ji Lingzhou was a person who didn't care much about time. It took more than half an hour to process this batch, and Cheng Mingran's hands were almost worn out from working so hard beside him.

But since Ji Lingzhou didn't say anything, she didn't dare to stop. After all, Ji Lingzhou was still hard for her to figure out.

But... Cheng Mingran felt a little overwhelmed. She suddenly began to suspect whether Ji Lingzhou was deliberately making fun of her, as to why he hadn't reacted for so long.

While Ji Lingzhou was not paying attention, she slowly changed hands. One hand had been grinding the ink the whole time, but it became too soft after such a long time.

Ji Lingzhou was startled by her: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Cheng Mingran was startled. Was he unhappy? Before Cheng Mingran could confess, Ji Lingzhou said lightly, "Then take a break. It's just grinding ink. Stop when you've had enough. Do you need my order for such a thing?"

Cheng Mingran: "..." How dare she...

Cheng Mingran withdrew her hand, but before she could stand up, Ji Lingzhou shouted again: "Wait.

What happened? Is he going to have a tantrum? Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou with some uneasiness, but Ji Lingzhou actually pulled her sleeve and said, "You are not a child anymore, how can you grind ink and get it all over your body?"

Cheng Mingran followed Ji Lingzhou's gaze and found that there was a stain of ink on her sleeve at some point.

Cheng Mingran: "..."

"It can't be wiped off. Do you want to change it?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Because she was wearing plain clothes today, the ink on her body was very obvious.

"I'll change it right away." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou nodded: "Go ahead."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Cheng Mingran said, and then slowly stepped back.

As for Ji Lingzhou... He looked at the memorial in front of him, which was about the Cheng family. He had a severe headache. Cheng Mingran was there just now, and he couldn't show anything, for fear that his expression would make Cheng Mingran think too much.

but……

Ji Lingzhou had actually been hesitating. In the previous life, Ji Chenan's rebellion happened two months later. If this life follows the trajectory of the previous life, how should he convict the Cheng family? Or should he do the same as in the previous life? What about Cheng Mingran? Will he repeat the same mistake?
