elder brother……

Cheng Mingran was in a daze when she heard this name. It had been a long time since she had been called this name.

She still clearly remembers that time...

"Brother Lingzhou!" That day was Ji Lingzhou's birthday. She held the amulet she had obtained at Handan Temple and presented it to him: "Brother Lingzhou, this is my birthday gift for you. Take a look. Do you like it? Wearing this can keep you safe. It was blessed by the abbot. They say it is very effective."

She was filled with joy at the time, thinking that Ji Lingzhou would definitely like the gift she gave him. But...

"Ms. Cheng, please be careful. You are no longer as ignorant as you were when you were a child. You should know the differences between men and women." Ji Lingzhou's cold voice sounded.

When Cheng Mingran heard this, she was also stunned. The smile from before was still on her face, but it looked a little stiff.

She paused for a moment and looked at Ji Lingzhou's expression carefully, but she kept smiling: "Yes... but before..." She always called him that before, and he never said no.

But before she could finish her words, Ji Lingzhou interrupted her: "The past was the past. Are you still as ignorant as before? Is this what the Cheng family taught you? Didn't you learn any rules in the palace?"

Cheng Mingran bit her lips gently, she lowered her head, and looked a little helpless, like a child who had made some mistake, and her eyes became much more lonely.

"Yes, I know I was wrong..." Cheng Mingran's voice sounded much lower than before.

She enthusiastically held the birthday present that she had worked so hard to obtain and gave it to him, but in the end, it was poured with a bucket of cold water. How could she not feel disappointed?

"You should be careful about what you do in the future. How can you be like this all day? You don't have to come here every day. There are differences between men and women. Don't rely on your status to ruin your reputation like this." Ji Lingzhou's voice became more and more cold, and Cheng Mingran's heart became colder and colder.

She tightly grasped the amulet she had asked for: "Then this..." She forced a smile, but it made people feel sad for some reason.

"Giving or receiving something privately is a serious crime. Don't you know that?" Ji Lingzhou looked at the amulet in her hand, his eyes calm and he didn't care at all.

Cheng Mingran stopped talking and just silently clenched the things in her hands. Ji Lingzhou didn't take her seriously at all, and when he saw her like this, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Ji Lingzhou left Cheng Mingran and the two passed by. Cheng Mingran couldn't help but turn around and look at him, but Ji Lingzhou didn't look back, and in the end he couldn't see the look Cheng Mingran showed him...

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingran clenched her hands again. Brother... She almost forgot this name and was about to abandon it.

"What's wrong?" Ji Lingzhou noticed her abnormality.

Cheng Mingran looked up at him, and when they looked at each other, her expression was complicated. If Ji Lingzhou had seen the look in Cheng Mingran's eyes at that time, he would have discovered that the person in front of him was really different from before...

"Your Majesty is Your Majesty, and my brother is my brother. I have grown up, and I will no longer be ignorant of the rules like I was when I was a child." Cheng Mingran said.

Ji Lingzhou: "..." His expression froze instantly, and this sentence also brought him back to that day.
