Chapter 136 - Banquet ( 3 ) (2/2)

Ji Cheng turned to look at Zhao Ming only to found that she was looking at her 'nails?'

He doesn't know if he should be laugh to cry at this moment. He should be happy that she was not affected by Wen Xu's behavior but are her nails are more important than this banquet?

He found her behavior unique and amusing.

He turned to Wen Xu and said, ” Should we start the banquet now, Mother?”

Wen Xu gave Zhao Ming a disdainful look and turned to Ji Cheng and said, ” Yes. Everyone was waiting for you.” she said with a smile.

Ji Cheng nodded and held Zhao Ming's hands again, this action brought her to the reality again.

She followed him, and he showed her, her large royal chair beside him. She looked at the large royal chair made of gold.

Her mouth was kept open. ' Wow. They're filthy rich, to have a golden chair.'

Ji Cheng led her to the chair and helped her settle on it. Everyone looked at them with their mouth open.

The Emperor never behaved like this.

Seeing Ji Cheng helping her, Xiao Li's face darkened.

Her expression became uglier when after helping her, he sat beside her.

He forgot about Xiao Li.

When he was helping Zhao Ming, she has thought, that he might also help her.

But he ignored her?

All the Consorts were jealous of Zhao Ming right now and some were feeling pity for Xiao Li.

Because he forgot about Xiao Li.

Especially Wen Xu was worried about her.

Then Xiao Li heard Ji Cheng's voice, ” Xiao Li, here. You also take your seat.” he patted the seat beside him as he gestured her to come and sit.

Xiao Li stared at him but Wen Xu patted her arm, to go and sit. She looked at Wen Xu and met her assuring eyes.

She smiled and unwillingly went to sit beside him.

While going there, she eyed Zhao Ming and saw her not interested kind of expression which elevated her temper.

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li who was moving towards them with a heavy heart and gave her a mocking smile.

' Hah. It's been only a few minutes and this girl is already going crazy. Don't know what will happen later.' she shrugged her shoulders as she thought about this.
