Chapter 199 - Just Like A Goddess.
After getting ready Zhao Ming walked out of her chamber.
She followed Lu shi to the garden where Ji Cheng asked her to come for breakfast.
After walking quite a distance, she realized that the place she was going is quite far from her chamber.
She was tired after walking so much in the morning that too empty stomach. She was hungry and don't know why she had to go so far just to eat her breakfast?
' Wouldn't it be more comfortable to eat in her room rather than going so far in this hot summer.' she was feeling hot as sweat beads formed on her forehead.
A while later, Lu shi finally said as she stopped and looked at Zhao Ming, " We have reached. Miss, you need to go straight in this direction, then you will see His highness."
Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi in surprise and asked, " Aren't you coming with me? Why are you telling me to go alone?"
Lu shi smiled and didn't replied to her question as she turned around and left.
Zhao Ming: " -_-"
Zhao Ming felt weird as Lu shi left without saying but she still did what she asked her to do.
She walked straight in the direction.
After walking a while, she stopped in her tracks as her mouth opened in astonishment.
She couldn't believe that this place is real. It was the true definition of heaven.
Her eyes shone with brightness as a bright smile appeared on her lips. She was lost for words as she admired the gorgeous scenery in front of her.
The place she arrived after walking a while was a beautiful place which was surrounded by trees and flower beds.
She could see Ji Cheng in far as he was sitting on a wooden platform that was made over the river.
It was a wooden platform built over the river as one can enjoy the fresh breeze of the river seeing the picturesque landscape of this place.
The platform was covered by a wooden shelter over it. It was truly amazing as one can see the mountains which are far away from the palace.
The whole place was surrounded by beautiful greenery and colorful flowers with a clear blue river as the blue sky was covering the whole area with a blurred picture of mountains can be seen far away.
It was truly artistic and the beauty of this place cannot be explained in words.
In this beautiful place, she can see Ji Cheng who was sitting on the platform over the river while waiting for her.
His face was shining in the light rays coming from the sun making him look bright and magnifying his appeal.
An unknown smile appeared to Zhao Ming's lips as her steps moved towards where Ji Cheng was.
On the other side, Ji Cheng turned to her side and was stunned when he saw her coming towards him with a beautiful yet subtle smile on her face.
The aura she was carrying right now was different from before. It was domineering yet a little clumsy as she slightly tripped over her long gown.
He chuckled seeing her but she soon calmed her expressions as she coolly walked towards him.
She was wearing a yellow-colored pastel simple and comfortable gown that enhanced her beauty under this blazing sun.
Her dress was simple unlike the other ladies of the harem who wear heavy golden and silver embroidered dresses with heavy jewelry despite this hot weather.
Though Zhao Ming always preferred to wear simple dresses but because of Wen Xu's pressure, she had to wear clothes that she was not comfortable with as she had to keep up with the image of an Empress.
But after waking up from the coma, she don't mind others opinion and always do what she wants. That was a charm of her which attracts him more towards her.
He stood up as she reached towards the platform.
She climbs over the platform walked towards the end of it where Ji Cheng was waiting for her.
At reaching she greeted him as usual, " Greetings to his highness." she said while bowing slightly as she spread her gown a little.
She was learning the etiquette of this place because if she has to survive here then she needs to learn the basics of this place.
She can't be always willful to ignore these basics.
She has the experience to live in a foreign country whose culture was different from her home country.
So she knows that one needs to adapt to these basics of the area and the culture otherwise without them one will always be picked on.
Ji Cheng smiled and nodded at her.
He asked her to sit down as he took his seat in front of her.
After they settled down in their places, they looked at each other awkwardly.
' Why am I feeling so nervous? Isn't this just a breakfast? Why does it feel more like a date?' she wondered as she rolled her eyes at this thought.
Ji Cheng looked at her and asked in a low voice which was pleasant to her ears, " You like this place?" he asked with curiosity in his eyes.
She smiled nodded and said," Eh. It's beautiful. I never saw anything this beautiful. But it's quite far from the lotus pavilion." she chuckled as she said her words.
She was too tired of coming here. It was quite far from the lotus pavilion and they can't take the carriage either. She has to walk herself as not everyone is allowed in this secluded area.
He gazed at her when her melodic laughter ringed in his ears. His gaze was tender and admiring.
He was glad that she liked this place.
He was worried that she would be depressed from whatever happened in the morning, so he prepared this outdoor breakfast with her to cheer her up.
This place was his secret place where only he comes here when he is tired and his mood was down. Seeing the beauty of this place, his mind clears up.
He wanted to let Zhao Ming to see the beauty of this place so that she could cheer up.
Now when he looks at the artistic scenery behind her, she looked like a painting. The light was coming behind her which made a halo behind her head giving her a divine feel.
She is looking just like a goddess.
