Chapter 346 - His highness will get jealous (1/2)

After the feast, Zhao Ming was in good spirits as she is finally going out of the palace. She happily ate her remaining desert and followed Wen Ru and Xiao Li out of the main palace.

Ji Cheng was coming with her but he remembered something and went back to his study as he asked her to wait for her outside the palace.

Wen Ru and Zhao Ming stood out of the palace while waiting for Ji cheng. Xiao Li does not need to wait for him and Zhao Ming asked her that she can go and rest but Xiao Li didn't listen to her words and insisted on staying there.

Zhao Ming shrugged her shoulders and didn't bother with her anymore.

Zhao Ming noticed that Ji Cheng was taking time to come out, so she turned to Wen Ru and said, ” See you tomorrow Brother Wen. Although I am excited to go out tomorrow with you yet I am feeling guilty that you might not get rest because of me.” she pursed her lips as she felt bad for him.

She wanted to make him leave early so that he can rest even though it won't be much.

Though it's very selfish of her and she tried to postpone this trip as well because she wanted to let him rest but he insisted on joining them. So there is no way she will reject his kind actions.

Xiao Li who was standing by her side sneered inwardly. ' Hah. Feeling guilty? This bitch, I never thought that she is such a seductress and would try to seduce Master Wen as well. His highness is blind that he cannot see her scheming.'

Wen Ru smiled at Zhao Ming and replied, ” You don't need to feel guilty. I had to go there anyway to check the work progress. And I am not that tired either. I am honored that you and his highness wants to visit my shop.”

” Before this brother never showed interest in my business. But because of you, he is ready to visit my shop. ” he looked at Zhao Ming with a smile.

Zhao Ming felt better hearing his words. She thought at first that Wen Ru would be difficult to approach because he is Wen Xu's nephew and would hate her like other concubines and Wen Xu herself.

But surprisingly he is very friendly to her and he doesn't give much attention to Xiao Li. She found out that he doesn't like Xiao Li either.

She felt like she had found a common ground between them. He is not as difficult as she thought he would be.

Xiao Li wanted to leave as she was not interested in waiting for them and Ji Cheng was taking too long to come out but when she saw Ji Cheng coming from inside, her eyes shone as she spoke, ” Brother Wen, you're very nice to Sister. You are ready to ignore your fatigue just to make her happy. I hope you don't like her, otherwise, his highness will get jealous.” she chuckled lightly.

Ji Cheng who was coming from inside, stopped in his tracks when he heard Xiao Li's words. His face darkened as he looked at Wen Ru.

Zhao Ming frowned when she heard Xiao Li's words. She glanced at Wen Ru whose expression has turned dark as well.

She pursed her lips as she turned to look at Xiao Li who was laughing lightly.

” Consort Xiao Li, do you know that there are some things that you shouldn't say, even as jokes?” Her voice was not soft like other times.

Her tone was stern and polite. She does not want Xiao Li to take her lightly. If she keeps talking to her gently then she will keep making such remarks.

She hated it when someone talks like this about her character. Her words may sound like a joke but it was a serious allegation for her.

Even though she was in Zhao Ming's body but Ji Cheng is Zhao Ming's husband, by saying such words Xiao Li is making things difficult for her and Wen Ru as well.

Xiao Li who was laughing stopped instantly when she heard Zhao Ming's rigid words.
