Chapter 287 - You immoral girl (2/2)

' Yes. She has nothing to do. How can she be busy? There is nothing for her to do.' she stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes.

'Is there nothing which can make me busy? ' she wondered inwardly.

She turned around slowly and laughed awkwardly.

” I.. I have to make preparations for tonight's feast. Master Wen is here so we should have dinner with everyone. And for that, I need to instruct them to make different delicacies. So I need to go to the kitchen to check everything.” she said with a low voice and stuttering in between.

She has just said randomly because Lu shi has told her that whenever Wen Ru comes at the palace, they always have dinner together and Zhao Ming used to prepare everything herself.

She just said that thing to run away from the awkwardness.

Ji Cheng raised his brows and asked, ” You will check everything? Won't you feel tired if you work this much? You need to take rest rather than working.” he said worriedly.

Zhao Ming shook her head and said, ” No.. No. I am not tired at all. I can do this much work at least. Your highness, If you want, you can go back and I will go to the kitchen to check the arrangements of the feast tonight. ” she said trying to be calm and dignified.

The most difficult thing for her is to be calm and elegant, especially in these strange clothes.

Though traditional clothes are not that troublesome however she has lived abroad for long and never wore traditional clothes in her life.

Now she suddenly has to wear these long and heavy traditional wear all the time which gives her a great headache.

Ji Cheng looked at her and contemplated for a minute.

” Okay. If you want to go, then you can go. I will go to study also to read some documents. But don't take much pressure.”

Zhao Ming nodded politely and said, ” Don't worry. I will take care of myself. You can go and do your work in peace.”

Ji Cheng nodded and turned to go back to his room.

When Zhao Ming saw Ji Cheng going back, she sighed heavily.

” I almost lost my life because of holding my breath,” she mumbled as she walked towards the bed and sat on it.

Her eyes moved to the pillow where he might have slept and the blanket which he had used.

The images of that kiss came flooding in her mind. She shook her head frivolously and mumbled,” Xie Ming. What are you thinking? Can't you stay focused? How can you melt like this just because he is handsome? You immoral girl.”

She cursed herself for losing her attention so soon.

” Miss, what are you doing?” just as Zhao Ming was about to lay on the bed, Lu shi's voice could be heard from the entrance of the room.

Zhao Ming looked at her in confusion and asked,” What do you mean? I am just taking a nap.” she said lazily.

Lu shi rolled. Her eyes at her and said, ” But miss, you told his highness that you would visit the kitchen to check the arrangements. Aren't you going to go?”

Zhao Ming turned to look at Lu shi with an irritated gaze and sighed.

She thought that she could skip going there and just said it to send him away.

But it seems that people still remember her words.

Zhao Ming looked at her seriously and said,” Lu shi, there are many things that we say to other people. But we don't need to follow those things. Do you understand what I am saying?”

Lu shi rolled her eyes at him, ” I can't understand what you're saying. Miss, we need to check the arrangements in the kitchen otherwise if anything went wrong, everyone will blame you. ”

Zhao Ming closed her eyes tiredly and said, ” I am not going. You can go and check the preparations.” she waved her hand at Lu shi to go away.

She doesn't know anything about cooking so what she will check there? There is nothing she can help them with.
