Chapter 154 - Shameless People. (1/2)
The dinner has started.
All the people moved from the main hall to the next hall where the dinner was arranged.
The hall was decorated with rare porcelains and statues. The white-colored pillars were decorated with silk golden-colored fabric.
The extravagant and ornate chandelier in the center of the ceiling of the hall was giving it a royal and opulent appearance.
The dinner was in buffet form for the guests. The all meal was of great quality and extravagant. Truly royal.
The tables and chairs were scattered all around the hall for the guests to sit on.
And for the royal family, in the middle of the hall, there was a large table arranged for the Emperor and the Empress along with all his concubines.
The table was decorated with the same golden cloth and the dishes and containers were not normal.
They were either gold or silver.
Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming came together in the dining hall for dinner, followed by Empress Dowager and Xiao Li. Behind them, other concubines were also coming.
They were all looking beautiful and graceful while walking.
On the other hand, Zhao Ming was very eye-catching, because she was struggling to walk in her long dress that too without heels.
It's not that she was uncultured and don't know how to walk, it just walking in this kind of dress without heels, making her look like an idiot.
Everyone was staring at her like they were looking at a monkey.
She could hear the giggles of the concubines behind and grunting of Wen Xu.
” These stupid morons. They are nothing in front of me. I was the top student in my class. I was a graduate from top business university, and they are looking at me as they were looking at a stupid.”
She mumbled under her breath.
Ji Cheng turned to look at her and saw her that she was holding her gown with both her hands, exposing the little skin of her legs.
Seeing this he frowned.
His face darkened, he went to her and reached out his hand to loosen her grip on her dress.
Zhao Ming glared at him when he makes her lose her grip on her dress, which was now crumpled slightly.
Ignoring her glare, he stretched his hand and put it on her waist to support her while walking.
When he does that, everyone in the room, starting whispering to each other.
Unlike modern times, a simple show of affection in public would become a point of gossip. The holding hands and holding her waist is not normal.
Behind them, Xiao Li' s face has turned red from anger. But she tried to calm her emotions because she can't destroy her fairy kind of image.
Zhao Ming looked at him and asked, ” What are you doing?”
She was confused because the guy like him, who considers others' opinions a lot, was holding her by her waist in front of everyone.
It's not that she has any problem. It was casual for her but this kind of gesture from him make her surprised.
Ignoring everyone's whispering he looked at her and said in a low voice, ” Don't hold your dress like this in public. You're the Empress. Mind your image. Just try to walk slowly, don't worry I am here to support you. I won't let you fall.”
He knows that she has partial memory. The doctor has told him that she may behave differently as she does not remember many things.
