Chapter 119 - Custom-Made Dress. (1/2)

Now it's time to select the dress. Xie Ming has refused to wear the heavy and flashy dress decorated by golden and silver threads made of silk which was sent by Ji Cheng.

Lu shi was hell worried about this whole situation. She has no idea what her Miss was planning.

Lu shi brought a bunch of dresses to Zhao Ming's chamber to let her select her outfit.

Zhao Ming saw all the dresses one by one but she didn't like any one of them.

She thought, ' This Zhao Ming was the Empress and still her clothes are so dull. Ahh, her dressing sense is so bizarre.' she thought.

In modern times, Xie Ming liked to wear short colorful dresses, not because of she like them but she liked the way Liwei reacts to her dresses.

She loves to tease him. Though she didn't love him that much, but she loves to see his reactions. Their relationship was like Tom and Jerry always fighting but also has some sort of connection between them.

But now, she knows that she can't even think about wearing those kinds of dress, as she will be beheaded, so she decided to compromise by wearing these old antique clothes in her way.

Out of a bunch of dresses, she picked up a plain off white color dress. She stared at it for quite some time and thought about something.

Then she gave it to Lu shi and said, ” This, I am going to wear this dress tonight.” she said with a smile.

Whereas Lu shi was already on the verge of crying.

” Miss, why are you doing this. It's a very important banquet and you're going to wear this simple dress?” she said worriedly.

Zhao Ming glanced at Lu shi and smiled devilishly. She didn't say anything and turned to the two other maids.

” You two, get me a pair of Scissors, and some gold and silver thread,” she ordered the other two maids.

The other two girls looked at each other and turned to Zhao Ming and asked, ” Scissors?” with a questionable look.

Zhao Ming looked at them and their questionable gazes. She sighed.

She said, ” Ahem, how should I say. Yes, I need something to cut the dresses. I mean something... like this.” she tried to demonstrate scissors through her hand's gesture.

She struggled hard to make them understand. She doesn't know what scissors called in ancient times.

The name was not the same as in modern, and she was not sure if they even had scissors. She just tried her luck.

And the two maids finally understood what Zhao  Ming meant and went to bring the scissors for her.

After those two maids left, Zhao Ming heaved a sigh of relief. It was such a hassle.

She blankly stared at the door, she was not looking particularly at anything. Inwardly she was cursing her luck.

Lu shi looked at Zhao Ming and thought, 'What is Miss planning to do?'

But she can't say anything to her at this moment.

After a while, the two maids brought scissors and gold and silver threads with them as she has asked.

Zhao Ming took the scissors and nodded. Though they are not exactly she wanted but they could do the work.

At this moment, she can't expect much from her life.

She sat on the chair and placed the dress on the table in front of her.

Then she used her scissors to make a cut on the dress from the waist. When she cut the dress, the other three people in the room gasped in horror.

But Zhao Ming was too into her work that she forgot to see their reactions.
