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

Cheng Mingran was led by Li Sheng to sit aside. Zichen Palace was Ji Lingzhou's bedroom, so no matter what it was, it was the best.

It was much warmer inside the house than outside. Cheng Mingran had just sat down when Li Sheng brought over some snacks and a few miscellaneous books.

Cheng Mingran looked at Ji Lingzhou, and Ji Lingzhou said, "These are quite interesting anyway. If you are bored, you can take a look at them yourself."

Sitting in Zichen Palace and reading? Cheng Mingran had never had such an experience before. She flipped through the books casually. In fact, she was already very familiar with these books. She had read them as early as when she was in Shoukang Palace.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

Cheng Mingran shook her head: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I don't dislike them. I just flipped through them. I have already read these books when I was in Shoukang Palace."

Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows: "You still read these books?"

"The Empress Dowager always said that reading more books is good for you, so these miscellaneous books are no exception. I also like to read them, so I have read them all." Cheng Mingran replied.

Ji Lingzhou was a little surprised. He originally thought that girls in the boudoir didn't like these things.

"There are many books in the Zichen Palace, and you may not have read all of them. If you find it boring to sit there, why not look for them yourself?" Ji Lingzhou said.

Cheng Mingran put down the book in her hand and said, "The Empress Dowager often said that reviewing the old will help you learn new things. Even if you have read it before, you will have a different experience if you read it again. I will take another look."

Ji Lingzhou really didn’t know that Cheng Mingran had such a side before, but when talking about reading, he remembered an interesting story.

Seeing that Cheng Mingran had already started reading a book, his eyes fell on her. Ji Lingzhou still remembered that before he was named the crown prince, Cheng Mingran liked to run to the prince's residence to find him.

At that time, I collected a lot of books. Cheng Mingran should have been only seven or eight years old at that time, so she often sneaked into her study alone and messed up the books, just to find the books she liked to read.

Later, after she was caught by herself, she said that it was the Empress Dowager who told her to come over.

What did she say at that time? Ah... Her little face was flushed, and she puffed her mouth and said, "The Queen Mother said that Brother Lingzhou has the most books here, and there are many folk stories and many pictures of beauties, so Ranran came here specially to take a look."

"Then have you found it?" At that time, I didn't have such a strong resistance to her. Besides, she was just a child, so my attitude was quite gentle.

Xiao Ranran shook her head like a little wave drum: "No, especially the painting of beauty, was it hidden by Brother Lingzhou?" She put her hands on her hips, looking as if she was the little owner of the study.

"Are you looking for a book to read or a picture of a beauty?" Ji Lingzhou asked her.

When Ranran heard Ji Lingzhou ask her this, she felt a little guilty, but she still shouted in a bluffing manner: "Of course I'm reading! It's just that I heard that Brother Lingzhou has some paintings of beauties, so Ranran came here to confiscate them."

Ji Lingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Confiscated?"

"Yes, Brother Lingzhou, you have to focus on your studies now. You can't delay your studies, so you can't just focus on looking at beauties." The little girl looked serious, as if he was the adult.

Ji Lingzhou was somewhat helpless because of her: "When did I start looking at beauties again?"

"You are just looking at beauties! The palace maid said that the emperor is going to choose a princess for you, Lingzhou, and there are so many pictures of beauties." Little Ranran is not very tall, but she insisted on climbing onto the stool next to her.

Ji Lingzhou was afraid that she would fall, so he stepped forward to protect her, but before he could do anything, he saw her reaching out her hands and climbing up nimbly.

"Why are you climbing so high?" Ji Lingzhou asked.

"Because I want to grow up quickly!" Cheng Mingran stood up on the stool.

"When I grow up, I will ask those painters to draw a picture of a beauty for me and give it to Brother Lingzhou." Cheng Mingran said seriously.

Ji Lingzhou was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him could say such a thing. But he didn't take it seriously, after all, she was just a little girl of a few years old.

"Then you should grow up quickly and let the painter help you paint. Come down now. It will hurt if you fall. And if you get hurt here, your mother will come to trouble me." Ji Lingzhou coaxed her.

Cheng Mingran seemed to think about it seriously, and finally opened his arms: "Then Brother Lingzhou, can you carry Ranran down with you?"

Ji Lingzhou was helpless, but he still went forward and hugged her. The little girl instantly stuck to him: "It's so comfortable on Brother Lingzhou's body. Ranran won't fall like this. Can Brother Lingzhou always protect Ranran in the future?"

"Okay, come down first." Ji Lingzhou responded casually. How much can a promise made in childhood be worth? What's more, he just agreed casually at that time, just as if he was coaxing a child.

However... Xiao Ranran was so excited about this word "good" that she even remembered it for the rest of her life. Because the Queen Mother told her that the one who would protect her for the rest of her life would be her husband...

Thinking of this, Ji Lingzhou came back to his senses. When he looked at Cheng Mingran again, the emotions in his eyes changed again and again.

In fact, even he himself didn't know why the two of them, who were quite close when they were young, ended up in such a situation.

Cheng Mingran... She had really changed a lot, but what about me? When did I start to treat her differently?

It seemed like it was not long after he was named the crown prince. His father was seriously ill, the Cheng family had their own army and was very powerful. Everyone in the court had to follow the Cheng family's instructions. The empress dowager was in power, and he... was just a puppet emperor in the eyes of everyone.

At that time, some people even speculated how long it would take the Cheng family to completely control Yuan State, and how long he could survive in the hands of the Cheng family.

Not only that, according to his investigation, some old people in the palace also said that the Queen Mother deliberately cultivated him because she knew that she was infertile. She even knew about his existence early on but concealed it.

Later, she even designed a plan to make the concubines in the harem fight to the death in order to raise him, and even killed his biological mother. Finally... she used the Cheng family to formally adopt him as a virtuous queen.

But...precisely because he is not their biological son, the Cheng family only wants to use him.

Also... the palace servants said that the Queen Mother wanted to raise Cheng Mingran just to cultivate a relationship with him. When the Cheng family supported him to ascend the throne, they would let him make Cheng Mingran his queen, and eventually give birth to an heir, then he would naturally be of no use to the emperor...
