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

Ji Lingzhou still remembered that time when her hand was injured. Seeing that she really wanted to learn, he taught her a simple song after her hand injury healed - "Plum Blossoms in the Snow" (made up by the author)

Cheng Mingran pursed her lips slightly and sat down next to her: "Yes," she agreed, and the palace servant next to her helped her arrange her seat very tactfully.

The piano cover was removed, and Cheng Mingran and Ji Lingzhou were stunned when they saw the piano. This piano...

"This zither was left behind by Ranran to protect it. Does Ranran still remember it?" asked the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran's thoughts were pulled back to the time when she had insisted on Ji Lingzhou teaching her how to play the qin, and that was why she had cut her hand. The Queen Mother was angry that she had been injured, so she had someone burn the qin, but she was stopped by herself.

Cheng Mingran looked at the piano and memories came to her mind: "I remember, why is it here with my aunt?" she asked.

Isn't this zither Ji Lingzhou's? How come it was stored in the Queen Mother's storehouse?

"You were scratched by the strings because you insisted on grabbing them, so the strings were broken. I asked someone to repair them, and then I forgot about it." said the Queen Mother.

Ji Lingzhou looked at the zither. It was originally a gift from the Queen Mother and it was also his first zither. He felt a little reluctant when it was destroyed.

"Let's give it a try?" said the Queen Mother.

Cheng Mingran didn't say anything, just sat quietly in front of the phoenix wood harp. Her face was as elegant as orchid, her eyes were as calm as water, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

The slender fingers slid lightly over the strings, like a swallow skimming over the water, creating ripples. As the fingers plucked and twisted the strings, the melodious sound of the piano rose up, like the sound of nature floating in the silent hall.

The sound of Cheng Mingran's piano is like the glow of dawn, sometimes low and melodious, like the clear spring in the mountain stream, gurgling and whispering, soothing the heart.

Her expression was focused and pious, as if she was talking to the strings, expressing her inner joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. However...her eyes seemed to have begun to sparkle with crystal tears without her noticing.

The leaves of the sycamore trees outside swayed gently, following the rhythm of the piano, as if they were dancing for her. The mountains in the distance also seemed more peaceful and mysterious in the sound of the piano.

Cheng Mingran felt as if she was brought back to her childhood. That was the feeling she had when Ji Lingzhou played the piano in front of her.

She obediently supported her face with her hands beside him, and looked at him quietly. He usually looked like a stranger who didn't want to be approached, and when he played the piano, he was like a banished immortal who was not tainted by the mundane world.

Although he was cold at that time, he was very patient with me and spoke in a gentle manner.

pity……

The sound of the piano was melodious, and the movements of his hands became sluggish and slow, and even the sound began to be suppressed. Ji Lingzhou looked at Cheng Mingran who was playing the piano in front of him, and the emotions in his heart never stopped for a moment.

At this moment, the entire hall seemed to be immersed in the beautiful scene of the woman playing the piano. Her piano sound seemed to be able to speak, and all the ups and downs hidden in memories and intertwined with reality were revealed.

When the song ended, tears dripped onto the strings, and the sound of the piano trembled slightly...

Cheng Mingran stood up, and the Queen Mother pulled her to her side before she could say anything: "This song made our Ranran cry." She smiled.

Cheng Mingran was just about to find an excuse to explain, but the Queen Mother spoke before him: "Listen to the piano and listen to your heart. The piano knows what you are thinking."

Cheng Mingran looked at the Queen Mother, who gently wiped away her tears: "Don't be stubborn."

Ji Lingzhou was watching Cheng Mingran with tears on her face, so what was she thinking when she was playing the piano just now?

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother suddenly called out.

Ji Lingzhou came back to his senses, and then heard the Queen Mother starting to send people away: "I just came back today, and I want to spend some time alone with Ranran. If Your Majesty is busy, you can go back first." He said.

This is what I said...

"I have already reviewed all the memorials for today. I have nothing to do. The Queen Mother has just returned to the palace. Why don't I stay here and have lunch with her first?" Ji Lingzhou said.

Queen Mother: "..."

"Your Majesty..." Before she could finish her words, Ji Lingzhou interrupted her: "I have already asked the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch, so there is no need for the Empress Dowager to say anything else."

Queen Mother: "..."

Li Sheng: "???" His mind was completely confused. When did your Majesty arrange this? He didn't know the order of the imperial kitchen, and your Majesty never cared about these things before.

"It's rare that Your Majesty is so thoughtful. In that case, I can't refuse." The Queen Mother didn't intend to keep chasing people away. Now that things had come to this, what else could she do?

"I am really tired after coming back today, and this outfit is very cumbersome. Your Majesty, please stay for a while while I go to change my clothes." said the Queen Mother.

Ji Lingzhou naturally had no objection, but Cheng Mingran took the initiative to stand up: "I will help aunt change clothes."

The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop Cheng Mingran's action: "You, just sit still for a while. There are so many people around me, I don't need you."

Okay... Cheng Mingran didn't force it and stayed obediently.

After the Queen Mother left, they were the only two left in the hall. For some reason, Cheng Mingran felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Finally, it was Ji Lingzhou who took the initiative to break the silence: "Will you stay here with the Queen Mother for the rest of this time?"

"My aunt has just come back. I have nothing to do on weekdays, so it would be a good thing to be able to accompany my aunt." Cheng Mingran said, and the meaning was very clear.

"That piano..." Ji Lingzhou asked.

"I'll leave the zither with Your Majesty first, and I'll retrieve it when I'm free. If Your Majesty feels that the zither is taking up space, you can go back and find someone to throw it away." Cheng Mingran added.

Ji Lingzhou frowned.

"Lost? You don't want that guitar anymore?" he asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "I am just afraid that if the zither is left with Your Majesty for a long time, it will cause Your Majesty's displeasure. After all, it is just a zither, so it is lost if it is lost."

But that zither was the same as the one he had there, and it was given to them by the Queen Mother. She had treasured it so much before, could she just throw it away now?

"In your heart, are people and piano the same? They are so good when you like them, but you can abandon them easily when you don't like them, right?" Ji Lingzhou suddenly wanted to ask this question.

Cheng Mingran was a little confused. What nonsense was he saying?
