Chapter 134 - Banquet ( 1 ) (1/2)

Xiao Li settled on the seat beside the Empress Dowager. She was waiting for the Emperor, to sit on her seat beside him.

As she was talking to Empress Dowager, they heard a commotion in the crowd. The guard came and announced the arrival of the Emperor.

....

Seeing her struggling in her dress,  he reached to support her. He gave her, his arm to hold onto it. Seeing his kind gesture she smiled at him and held onto his hand.

Following them, Lu shi and Feng Ju smiled at the scene unfolding in front of them.

Lu shi was happy to see, the Emperor taking care of her Miss.

She sighed in relief.

Feng Ju was walking a few steps behind Lu shi. He looked at the Lu shi who was smiling seeing the exchanges between Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming.

Feng Ju thought, ” Silly girl. She gets happy by seeing others happy.” he smiled thinking about this.

...

When Zhao Ming reached in front of the palace, she sighed in relief.

She thought, ' Why the distance from the Chamber to the palace is so long. Ah, they don't even have cars. Do they have any idea, how difficult is to walk in these fucking long dresses.' she cursed inwardly.

Ji Cheng looked at her annoyed face and asked, ” Is there any problem?”

She looked at him and smiled hesitantly and said, ” Eh? Nothing. I was.. Just tired.”

He grew worried seeing the sweat beads on her forehead and said, ” Tired? Do you feel unwell? Should I call the doctor?” he asked her.

She looked at him and thought, ' Why he is so keen to call the doctor? Are the doctors here are so free to be called upon such small matters'.

' But he is the Emperor. So I guess he can call anyone and anytime.' she nodded and shrugged as she thought about this.

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows at her. She looked at him and remembered he asked her something.

She hurriedly shook her head and said, ” No need. I am fine.” she said while faking a smile.

They went forward and the guard standing outside the palace gate came to them and greeted them.

Ji Cheng nodded at him and Zhao Ming also followed the suit. Lu shi has taught her that she doesn't need to reply to everyone's greetings.

Only the nodding at them will do.

After that, the guard went inside to announce their arrival.

....

When Xiao Li and Wen Xu heard Ji Cheng's arrival they smiled at each other. Xiao Li excitedly stood up from her seat and Wen Xu remained seated.

All the guests turned their gaze towards the entrance. The consorts also stood from their seats to welcome the Emperor.
