Chapter 131 - Flattering. (2/2)

And before he could say anything, she hurriedly explained,” I have asked Lu shi to keep the dress with care. I will wear it on a later occasion when I see fit. It's such a beautiful dress, I can't just possibly reject your kindness.” she said with a smile.

Ji Cheng looked at her and smiled.

After seeing that he was happy with her answer, she heaved a sigh of relief.

' I have to keep a good relationship with this Emperor. I don't want to die one more time.' she thought inwardly.

Then Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and said, ” let's go. The Banquet has already started. Everyone is waiting for us.” he said with a smile, gesturing her to show the way.

Zhao Ming nodded and held on his arm to climb down from the stairs. She was wearing a long robe, and she was not wearing any heels either.

If she climbed down herself then she would fall and embarrass herself.

And it was normal for her in modern times. In the past, she held on Liwei whenever they went outside.

Though he does not like this, but he was a gentleman, he knows that it will be tough for her to walk down the stairs alone and that too in heels.

It was a way of curtesy.

She thought that it was normal to hold hands and moreover he was Zhao Ming's husband. He must have done more than holding her hands, then this must be okay.

As she held his hand and ready to move, but the other person was stood frozen on the same spot.

Just as Zhao Ming held his hand, he froze right away. In ancient times, it was not appropriate for women to touch the man in open even if he was her husband.

But here she held like nothing happened. But it was a great deal for him. All the guards, Feng Ju and even Lu shi was shocked.

Ji Cheng stared at Zhao Ming without saying anything, he does not know what to say.

Because he doesn't hate this kind of skinship. Instead, he loved it. As the Emperor, he never experienced the feeling of Love.

But now Zhao Ming or say Xie Ming was making his heart flutter. His ears became all red.

Seeing the reaction of Ji Cheng, Zhao Ming felt awkward. She looked at Lu shi to know if she has done something wrong.

Lu shi pointed at the hand that she held with her eyes. Zhao Ming looked at the hand that she held and furrowed her brows.

She thought, ' These people are so weird. Is holding hands, such a big deal?'.

Then she looked at the few stairs, which looked like climbing down the mountain in this dress without heels. The dress was quite long and will disrupt walking by getting into her steps. And there were no heels either which will help to manage the dress.

She took a deep breath and unwillingly loosened her grip on his hand.

She said apologetically, ” Ahem, I am sor..” before she could complete her words, her words were cut in between by his next action.
