Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother used the excuse that she was old, so she claimed that she was tired and was resting now. So... now there were only Cheng Mingran and Ji Lingzhou.

"Don't you have the habit of taking a nap? Do you want to rest for a while?" Ji Lingzhou took the initiative to ask.

Cheng Mingran shook her head. She couldn't sleep. There was silence between the two of them. The atmosphere between them became inexplicably awkward.

Ji Lingzhou was drinking the tea in front of him, and Cheng Mingran was obviously a little unnatural. It was almost like a man and a woman meeting for the first time. Were they so unfamiliar with each other?

"Will you go out for a walk with me?" Ji Lingzhou was the first to break the silence.

Cheng Mingran was hesitant, so she didn't agree immediately, but she just thought about it for a while and nodded.

To be honest, Ji Lingzhou was a little surprised when he heard this answer. He didn't expect Cheng Mingran to agree so easily this time. If it was before, she would never agree to it. Ji Lingzhou even prepared an excuse for being rejected.

"Go get your master an extra cloak and a hot water bottle. Although the snow outside has stopped, it will inevitably be a bit cold." Ji Lingzhou took the initiative to give the order this time.

Shuhua bowed and stepped back, while Ji Lingzhou and Cheng Mingran stood up together. When Shuhua came over with the cloak, Ji Lingzhou took it very naturally: "I'll do it."

Afterwards, he personally took the cloak and put it on Cheng Mingran. Cheng Mingran no longer resisted as before and obediently let him put the cloak on her.

"Let's go." Ji Lingzhou stuffed the hot water bottle into her arms.

This hot water bottle is warm. Cheng Mingran holds it. She doesn’t know if it is really that warm, but she does feel a little more warm…

"Are you still cold?" When they got outside, Ji Lingzhou couldn't help but ask again.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "It's not cold."

"If you feel cold, tell me. Your body can't stand the cold." Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran nodded slightly, and then fell silent again. There was absolutely no topic of conversation between the two of them.

"Your Majesty..."

"you……"

The two spoke almost at the same time, then stopped at the same time when they heard each other's voices.

"What do you want to say?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this." Cheng Mingran replied.

"No need to be like this. What? Bothering you?" Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows.

"There's no need to lower your status and act so condescendingly." Cheng Mingran said.

"How am I wronged?" Ji Lingzhou asked back.

"Your Majesty is of noble status and is the emperor of a dynasty. It is an insult to your status to stay with me like this. I am not blessed enough to be treated like this by Your Majesty." Cheng Mingran said bluntly.

"Since you treat me as the Son of Heaven, why didn't you consider me that way when you spoke to me before? So if I really treat myself as the emperor in front of you, why do you think I can still allow you to say those words? Apart from the identity of the emperor, you can now treat me as the brother in your childhood," Ji Lingzhou told her.

It's hard for my husband to say it, so my brother from childhood is better, right? After all, when she was a child, Cheng Mingran liked to pester her brother. Didn't she call him Brother Lingzhou happily at that time? But... she hasn't called him that for a long time.

The most memorable one... should be the last time she called him "Brother Lingzhou" in his arms in the previous life? Thinking of the previous life, Ji Lingzhou's eyes gradually darkened, and his heart also felt a sharp pain.

At that time, he actually had some very strange feelings, but he completely ignored them at that time. Now thinking back, he realized that Cheng Mingran was still a little different in his heart, otherwise... how could he have tacitly accepted all his promises to her because of that sword...
