Chapter 231 - Is there any problem with that? (1/2)

After looking at everything in the room with her sharp eyes, Zhao Ming finally returns to the table and coolly sat beside Ji Cheng and looked at him, ” What were you guys talking about?”

Ji Cheng looked at her and asked her interestingly, ” Did you like the study room?”

” Yes. It's so beautiful. Especially the portraits and porcelain. It's very unique and beautifully carved. The vase here is more beautiful than in the lotus pavilion. ” she excitedly said while looking at him with her glittery eyes.

A subtle yet pleasing smile appeared on Ji Cheng's mouth and said,” Then you can take a few vases with you if you like them that much.”

Zhao Ming widened her eyes in surprise and excitedly clasped her hands and said, ” Really? I can take a few items from here?”

Ji Cheng nodded.

”Ah. Thank you so much. I will take a few with me then.” she coolly waves her hand at him.

Xiao Li tried to control her expressions as she gripped her dress with her hand while making it into a fist.

' This bi*ch. How dare she ask for items in the study. These are high-quality items and very precious treasure. Even Emperor never gave it to the Empress Dowager before, how dare she ask for them?'

Xiao Li gritted her teeth seeing Zhao Ming behaving coy in front of Ji Cheng and Wen Ru.

Wen Ru was surprised to see Zhao Ming smile so brightly just because Ji Cheng allowed her to take some items from the study.

Ji Cheng and Wen Ru was talking about the trip of Wen Ru to country P and was discussing the trade that he went there for.

At that time, a maid came in to serve the tea and some snacks to them.

She placed the tea and snacks on the table and went outside after giving them a bow.

Zhao Ming picked up the tea casually and started drinking without waiting for anyone.

Ji Cheng didn't bothered by it because he was accustomed to her eating and drinking without waiting for anyone.

Wen Ru raised his brows in surprise but didn't say anything.

Xiao Li was annoyed that no one is saying anything to her.

She couldn't hold it in and said, ” Sister, what are you doing? How can you start drinking tea before his highness does? Don't you know the manners?”

Zhao Ming paused in her actions and looked at Xiao Li whose face was already sour and couldn't hide her unhappy expression anymore.

She was confused about why she can't drink tea before Ji Cheng? What's there to talk about the etiquettes?

She could consider that she was rude because she was drinking tea alone and didn't wait for anyone. This she can consider it as rude.

But why especially Ji Cheng? Is he some kind of God that they can't eat before him?

Zhao Ming casually looked at Xiao Li and said, ” Because I was thirsty. That's why I drank it. Is there any problem with that?” She couldn't understand why Xiao Li has to pick every small thing she does.

Wen Ru was also surprised when he heard Zhao Ming's words.

He glanced at Ji Cheng to see if he was angry but surprisingly he was just smiling lightly and looking at Zhao Ming with interesting expressions.

Xiao Li was also taken aback on Zhao Ming's words. Her blood was boiling because she was expecting some reaction from Ji Cheng but he was not saying anything instead he was smiling.
