Chapter 135 - Banquet ( 2 ) (1/2)
As Consort Xiao Li and Consort Mei was chatting, suddenly they heard the commotion from the crowd.
They turned to look at the direction of the entrance and saw Ji Cheng going back.
They looked at the scene with interest. All the consorts gathered around them to see what's happening.
Wen Xu was craning her neck to see what's happening but everyone was gathered in front of her so she couldn't see anything.
...
As Ji Cheng entered the palace, everyone stared at him and many came to greet him. But when he turned to his side, there was no one.
He raised his eyebrows, and turned to the entrance gate and extended his hand.
Everyone was looking at his actions with curiosity.
' Who in the world, made the Emperor go back to the entrance?' Before he never waited for anyone and done this for anyone.
As he extended his hand, a soft and slender hand was placed on it. Then they saw the Emperor escorting the beautiful and exquisite lady in the palace.
It was Zhao Ming, the Empress.
Everyone was stunned to see Ji Cheng escorting Zhao Ming into the palace. And that too by holding hands.
Many guests gaped at this scene, who knows about the position of Zhao Ming in the palace.
And others who did not know about the situation were smiling like nothing happened.
The consorts at the Royal sitting area were shocked at Zhao Ming's arrival.
The Emperor never cared about her before but now he brings her to the Banquet with him.
Making an entry with the Emperor means her position is no normal anymore. Even Xiao Li has never got the chance to make an entry with the Emperor.
But Zhao Ming did, that too on the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
When Wen Xu looked at the Zhao Ming with Ji Cheng, she was fuming in anger. She wanted Xiao Li to be in that place.
She turned to look at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was stunned to see Zhao Ming with Ji Cheng. She turned her hands into fists. Just now, she was being happy that Zhao Ming was not here.
But here she made an entry with Ji Cheng. She tried hard to control her temper and expressions.
Her face became paled.
....
When Zhao Ming made an entry while holding Ji Cheng's hand, everyone was shocked to see them together.
And moreover, Zhao Ming was looking stunning. Not like before, she was now wearing the beautiful off white colored dress decorated with beads and gold and silver thread.
Not only that, but she was also wearing makeup and her hairstyle was also different from before.
Not only men but women were also staring at her. They noticed that she was dressed up differently.
