Chapter 135 - Banquet ( 2 ) (2/2)

And the things like her hairstyle, the color on her lips and the thing on her eyelid was something different yet making her more outstanding and beautiful.

She was a natural beauty with milky white skin but makeup enhanced her beauty making her look outstanding and enchanting.

The most shocking thing was, her dress was matching with Ji Cheng's outfit.

Coincidentally, his outfit was also of the same colored outfit as Zhao Ming's decorated with expensive beads and golden thread.

Standing together, they look like they have planned to wear similar clothes, which make them outstanding in this Banquet.

....

When they both reached in the middle of the Banquet, many people greeted them and they nodded back at them.

Then they made their way to the royal sitting area.

He led her to the sitting area, still holding her hand. As the royal sitting area and their chairs were on some elevation, they have to climb a few steps to reach there.

By now everyone went to their seats and stood there and Xiao Li stood near Wen Xu. As Ji Cheng has not sat on his position.

He helped Zhao Ming climb the stairs. All his consorts, Xiao Li and Wen Xu was fuming in anger and jealousy.

After they arrived at the platform, Zhao Ming looked at everyone.

They were wearing heavy clothes made of the same silk material which will make them burn their skin in this weather.

They are wearing heavy and shiny jewelry, and they were not well paired too. They just wore the most expensive jewelry that they had but they forgot to match it well with the outfit.

Her lips twitched in annoyance, seeing them murdering the fashion sense. Their horrible dressing sense was giving Zhao Ming a headache.

Then her eyes rested upon Xiao Li. She raised her eyebrows in appreciation.

Xiao Li was wearing a sea blue colored dress with well-complimented accessories and her hair was done in half updo and rest were open.

Zhao Ming thought, ' At least, she does have some sense of fashion.'

....

Whereas Xiao Li was fuming in anger seeing Zhao Ming with Ji Cheng. And she was looking beautiful.

It would not be wrong to say that, she was looking better than Xiao Li.

She gave Zhao Ming a hostile look. Zhao Ming furrowed her eyes as she noticed her hostile gaze.

At that time, a consort spoke in a low voice to the Consort next to her, ” Wow. The Empress was looking more beautiful than the consort Xiao Li.” she exclaimed in appreciation.

Her voice was low but it was enough for Xiao Li to heard that. At this, her face became white in anger.

She hated Zhao Ming. She hated her for being the Empress. She hated her for looking so beautiful. She hated her, that she was alive.

She turned her hands into a tight fist, digging her nails into her palms, hurting her. But this humiliation was hurting her more.

She can't let Zhao Ming take the position of hers in the palace. She was the most beautiful, she should be beside Ji Cheng right now.

But it was not her, but Zhao Ming.
