Chapter 512 - A Sight To Behold.
Chapter 512 - A Sight To Behold.
Zhao Ming saw Jia shi's curious gaze and cleared her throat to take her advice.
" Your Majesty, this is the report of the work for the last two weeks. Since you were not well I have tried to make a report of the activities done by other consorts in these last two weeks." Jia shi passed her the report that she brought with her.
Zhao Ming was surprised because she didn't ask her to do anything and yet she came prepared. That time everything happened so fast that she didn't even get to ask Jia shi to check on others so that they can prepare the reward for the month-end.
Jia shi smiled seeing Zhao Ming's confused gaze and said, " His Majesty had told me before that you're sick, so he has asked me to check everyone and make a report of their activities for you. That's why I prepared all this."
Jia shi smiled as she said her words. It's very rare that Ji Cheng talks to her, and this time it was all because of Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming smiled unconsciously. His actions are so thoughtful and sweet. How can he be so sweet?
She wasn't expecting this from him. He is way more considerate than she has expected him to be.
Zhao Ming checked the report and was surprised that in these past weeks, the other consorts had engaged themselves in some other activities like calligraphy, cooking, or gardening.
And the most surprising thing was...Wen Xu and Xiao Li were also trying to engage themselves in productive activities. Seems like they were also trying to get the reward.
They talked about work for some time and after some time Jia shi went back.
Zhao Ming looked around and sighed. There was nothing much for her to do. She ate her lunch and decided to take a nap.
…..
" Finally, I am here. " Shen Jia sighed when she saw the Ji Palace from far away.
She has been meditating in the mountains since she came back from the other world. Her body was extremely weak when she arrived in this world.
She needed to recuperate her energy and was required to restore her powers.
However, a few days ago, when she started to climb down from the mountains, she heard that the Empress had made a trip to the nearby city with the Emperor.
This was the moment when her mind went blank. She wasn't expecting this to happen.
She has seen Zhao Ming in the other world with her own eyes. Even the way she treated the woman on the road with acupuncture, only Zhao Ming could do that.
Then who is the person about whom everyone is talking about?
She decided to make a trip to Ji City and meet the so-called, Zhao Ming at the palace.
She has thought that she has broken the cycle of the curse and now Zhao Ming can live a peaceful life in the other world. But she wasn't expecting to hear this news after coming back to the world. She needs to see who this new Empress is. There are many mysterious things about which she needs an answer.
She needs to break this curse properly so that the history won't repeat itself.
She sighed seeing that she has a long way to walk now. It will take at least two days to reach the palace. Her feet were full of blisters after walking so far.
She doesn't have any money on hand because she woke up in the mountains when she came back to this world. That's why it took her days to get energy and she finally decided to come down to the city.
…..
In the evening, when Ji Cheng came back to the chamber, he found Zhao Ming putting something on the side table.
She didn't notice his appearance and he was busy admiring her beautiful image from back. Her hair was half-open tied with a hair clip.
She was wearing a light purple colored robe which made her look extremely gentle and beautiful.
He felt excited and a little awkward coming back to his chamber after two weeks.
" Zhao Ming. " His voice was gentle and very attractive.
" Your Majesty." She turned around and smiled when she saw that he was back.
She was smiling with her eyes and this sight made his ears turn red.
He started to walk to her but paused in his steps when he noticed something was strange. It was his room but didn't look like the same as before
He looked around and found that the color of curtains and bedsheets had been changed to red, peach, and white and were decorated with flowers.
The candles were lit in the whole room and there is some strange yet sweet fragrance in the room.
Zhao Ming's lips curled upwards seeing his surprised expressions.
" Your Majesty, did you like my arrangements?"
She was working all this while to arrange all this. She doesn't like the previous setting of this room at all.
The choice of color for curtains was not good. So she decided to renovate the room according to her likes.
She not only changed the setting but also used scented candles that she had made some time ago to make the room more fragrant.
Since she has decided to accept him, then she should do it properly. She is a type to take action first and then regret it later.
So to make it up to her name, she decided to take action before he could do so. Last time, Feng Ju interrupted them and after that, they couldn't continue because of her health.
Just like Ji Cheng, she was also feeling excited the whole day. That's why she prepared everything to make this night memorable.
She was feeling nervous since it's her first time. But still, as she has learned from movies, she did her best to make the atmosphere romantic.
Ji Cheng looked around and pursed his lips in anticipation. The whole room was decorated with candles and it looked extremely beautiful.
She smiled seeing him gulping in nervousness.
' Good. His reaction is just to my liking.' she nodded as she was pleased by his reaction.
" His Majesty, the dinner is ready. Let's have dinner first. After that, you can take a 'shower'." She said while enunciating the word, 'shower'?slowly and clearly.
His eyes wavered as she looked more beautiful than ever before. He suddenly remembered the scene where she was laying in the bathtub with her eyes closed and lips puckered.
That was the sight to behold.
He gulped unconsciously when he remembered that scene.
