Chapter 199 - Just like a goddess. (2/2)
She was wearing a pastel-colored simple and comfortable gown that enhanced her beauty under this blazing sun.
Her dress was simple unlike the other ladies of the harem who wear heavy golden and silver embroidered dresses with heavy jewelry despite this hot weather.
Though Zhao Ming always preferred to wear simple dresses but because of Wen Xu's pressure, she had to wear clothes that she was not comfortable with as she had to keep up with the image of an Empress.
But after waking up from the coma, she don't mind others opinion and always do what she wants. That was a charm of her which attracts him more towards her.
He stood up as she reached towards the platform.
She climbs over the platform walked towards the end of it where Ji Cheng was waiting for her.
At reaching she greeted him as usual, ” Greetings to his highness.” she said while bowing slightly as she spread her gown a little.
She was learning the etiquette of this place because if she has to survive here then she needs to learn the basics of this place.
She can't be always willful to ignore these basics.
She has experience to live in a foreign country whose culture was totally different from her home country.
So she knows that one needs to adapt to these basics of the area and the culture otherwise without them one will always be picked on.
Ji Cheng smiled and nodded at her.
He asked her to sit down as he took his seat in front of her.
After they settled down in their places, they looked at each other awkwardly.
' Why am I feeling so nervous? Isn't this just a breakfast? Why does it feel more like a date?' she wondered as she rolled her eyes at this thought.
Ji Cheng looked at her and asked in a low voice which was pleasant to her ears, ” You like this place?” he asked with curiosity in his eyes.
She smiled nodded and said,” Eh. It's beautiful. I never saw anything this beautiful. But it's quite far from the lotus pavilion.” she chuckled as she said her words.
She was too tired of coming here. It was quite far from the lotus pavilion and they can't take the carriage either. She has to walk herself as not everyone is allowed in this secluded area.
He gazed at her when her melodic laughter ringed in his ears. His gaze was tender and admiring.
He was glad that she liked this place.
He was worried that she would be depressed from whatever happened in the morning, so he prepared this outdoor breakfast with her to cheer her up.
This place was his secret place where only he comes here when he is tired and his mood was down. Seeing the beauty of this place, his mind clears up.
He wanted to let Zhao Ming to see the beauty of this place so that she could cheer up.
Now when he looks at the artistic scenery behind her, she looked like a painting. The light was coming behind her which made a halo behind her head giving her a divine feel.
She is looking just like a goddess.
