Chapter 159 - So he knew. (1/2)

After dinner, Zhao Ming rubbed her hand on her stomach in satisfaction.

She had eaten more than her appetite because its taste was amazing. She has eaten nothing like that.

' No doubt they fight so much for Aunt Qiao Dan's food. Because it's the best in this palace. ' she nodded in acknowledgment.

Ji Cheng, who was wiping his hands with a napkin, looked at her smiling and asked, ” Did you like the food?”

” Yes. It's the best. I can eat this food daily. It's so yummy.” she replied with a bright smile.

She was excited that she could eat this food daily now. Because now Qiao Dan will serve her.

For Zhao Ming, in this place, food and sleep are the most important things. Because here she has nothing to do other than eating and sleeping.these.

...

Everyone on the dining table were done with their dinner.

Ji Cheng stood up from his seat and looked at everyone in the hall and said, ” I am glad that everyone present here came to celebrate this auspicious day.”

” This banquet was not only for Empress Dowager's birthday but also in celebration of Empress's waking up from the coma.”

” I know that all of you were worried about Zhao Ming's health, but now she is fine and healthy. ”

” Now I request you to move towards the main hall. There we have arranged a few performances for your entertainment. Please enjoy the night. ”

Ji Cheng was not only the Emperor but today he was the host of the party. So he was not aloof today like any other day.

Zhao Ming looked at him and nodded, ' Hmm, so they also have performances here. I am curious about what kind of entertainment things they have arranged?'

Thinking this, a devil smiled appeared on her face.

She has seen in period dramas that these Emperors has a very colorful personality. They love to see half-naked girls dance with alcohol and have fun.

Now Zhao Ming was curious to see what entertainment Ji Cheng has arranged.

....

After dinner, they all moved to the main hall and seated in their respective places.

As they sat on their seats, Feng Ju came to Ji Cheng and whispered something in his ear.

Ji Cheng signaled him something.

After a while, a man in his mid-30s appeared in front of them with Feng Ju.

The man was looking handsome and his features were unique. His chin was pointed and his eyes were big and bright.

Zhao Ming looked at the handsome man and thought, ' way. What a man. I never thought that ancient people would be so handsome. But in terms of age, they are older than the grandfather of my grandfather.'

SIGH.

The guy greeted Ji Cheng, ” Greetings to his highness. I apologize for being late, but I was translating the documents that were sent by the English ambassadors.”

Ji Cheng looked at him and nodded.

The man was Xue Tu. He was a scholar and ambassador. He manages the trade relations with other countries and translates their official documents for the royal office.

He knows English as he was the Head in trade relations and always translates the English documents in Chinese.

There are other ambassadors as well but out of them, Xue Tu was the most efficient. His hold on the foreign language is better than others.

Ji Cheng also knows English because he needs to deal with English ambassadors as well.  But his English was not that polished.

He can understand a bit and can answer the greetings. But he has yet to learn the language fully to converse in English.

But he can understand vaguely what they were saying.

As it was not long that English people came to S country for establishing trade relations, so people were still learning their language so that the work can be done smoothly.

...

Zhao Ming looked at Xue Tu in astonishment, ” Translated document from English?” he asked him.

Xue Tu looked at her and greeted her as well, ” Greetings to her highness.” he said politely.

Zhao Ming looked at him and smiled awkwardly.

Then he answered her, ” Yes her highness. These documents were translated into Chinese from English.”

Zhao Ming smiled at him.

' Ahh, so they know that the English language exists in this world. But does that mean that Ji Cheng also knows English as well? Because he must've dealt with English people too.'

' If yes, then why didn't he said anything before. Was he suspicious of me, that's why he didn't say anything?' she was having a headache due to all questions in her mind.

After that Ji Cheng passed the document to Feng Ju and asked him to keep it safe.

Feng Ju nodded and went back with Xue Tu.
