Chapter 154 - Shameless People. (2/2)

But he didn't expect that she would even forget to walk properly, which she was doing from her childhood.

Yet he didn't get mad at her for embarrassing him, he just didn't want her to show her skin even if it's little in front of another man.

That's why he held her by her waist so that she doesn't need to hold her dress, to prevent her from fall.

Zhao Ming looked at him and does not feel touched by his words.

The only words she could hear was, ' Mind your image as the Empress'. It's like provoking her rebellious instincts.

She glared at him and mumbled, ” Who the hell is he to tell me something. I will walk however I want, why poking your insignificant nose in my matters. I am not your stupid wife.”

She doesn't like when people tell her to do this or that. She hated it when people asked her to behave in a certain way.

She has lived for 7 years abroad. Her thinking is broad and does not like it when people meddle with her affairs.

Living for 7 years alone in a different country was not easy. When she came back to S country, everyone expected her to behave like them.

How could she do that? There was a huge culture difference between the two countries. Though S country was modern and women are treated equally as men, but it's not as open-minded towards women as it was abroad.

The others kept nagging on her behavior or whatever she does, which ignited her rebellious instincts making her refute everyone's words and ended up arguing with them.

One can also say that she experienced puberty later than others.

....

Ji Cheng didn't hear what she said, but he saw her mumbling and a smile came to his lips.

Though she doesn't have many memories, however, she was becoming more cuter than ever.

He liked her this feisty attitude.

...

When they entered the dining hall, Zhao Ming's eyes were wide open seeing the extravagance of this place. Everything here is decorated in gold, silver and the chandelier in the middle of the hall would make anyone in awe.

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming's shocked expression and felt amused.

Because for him it was normal. These things he had seen from his childhood, but the expression that Zhao Ming had was similar to the expression that she had made when she entered the Palace after getting married to him.

When they reached the large dining table in the middle, she was utterly shocked.

Everything was in gold and silver. They were all beautifully carved as well. She couldn't hide her shocked expression.

' Waah. These people are so shameless. They are using people's taxes for their luxury lifestyle. ANd they have no sense of shame either.' she was shocked as well as slightly angry.

Though she was a business student but her roommate in college was a history student. So sometimes she tells Zhao Ming how the monarchy works in the past.

She also learned that many kings considered themselves as God and people follow them without any questions. Not unlike modern times, where people can choose their representative, the succession to the throne was hereditary.

She didn't like the fact that the kings used poor people's taxes for their luxury.

And seeing the wastage of money in this banquet, she was quite angry than surprised.

A disgusted expression placed on her face.

Ji Cheng asked her to sit down, he didn't notice her expression which was full of disgust.

She took a deep breath and reluctantly sat down.
