Chapter 349 - Or was he forced to leave early? (2/2)

” But Miss, isn't this dress too plain? Consort Xiao Li will pick on you because of this. And what if his highness got angry because you didn't get ready properly?” Lu shi was worried because she does not want her to make a fool of herself just because of her simple clothes.

Zhao Ming glanced at her and said, ” Do you think that Xiao Li can pick on me anymore?Hmm?” she raised her brows as she looked at Lu shi playfully.

Lu shi looked at her and remembered how last night Zhao Ming shut Xiao Li up. She was worried at first when she saw Xiao Li saying inappropriate things about Master Wen and Zhao Ming.

She was worried that his highness would get angry but to her surprise, not only Zhao Ming managed to shut Xiao Li up, His highness also supported Zhao Ming in front of her.

He also spent a night at Lotus pavilion and asked her to send breakfast when she woke up and got ready. She could see how well he was treating Zhao Ming.

She did not say anything and placed the breakfast on the table.

After having breakfast Zhao Ming walked out with Lu shi as Ji Cheng was waiting for her at the main gate of the palace.

When she reached there she saw him standing with his back on her. He was also wearing a simple blue-colored robe, unlike his normal heavy robes.

She smiled as she was glad that she made the right choice by wearing this dress.

She walked up to him and stood behind him and called out, ” Greetings to his highness.”

Ji Cheng was standing there with his hands on his back and was looking at the carriage in front of him which was prepared for them to go for the trip.

He turned around and smiled elegantly seeing her standing there looking at him. He looked at her and smiled seeing her that she was wearing a low-key dress.

Generally, whenever Xiao Li went out with Empress Dowager, she used to dress up lavishly and tend to show off her dress and jewelry.

Even though Wen Xu and Xiao Li are nobility but they never understand that it's okay to dress up like this at the Banquets and meetings but when they're going out to meet other people, it's not very courteous to do that.

It's not comfortable for traveling and it will make them more unapproachable and they won't be able to talk to others properly.

He doesn't like to dress up so much when going out and he was pleased to see her wearing simple clothes.

He didn't tell her anything but she still did so and this shows that she is considerate towards others and knows when to dress up and when not.

He nodded at her in response to her greeting and asked, ” You had breakfast?”

Zhao Ming nodded and said, ” Yes. I enjoyed the food that you sent.” she said with a pleasing smile on her lips.

Lu shi has told her earlier that it was Ji Cheng who sent this breakfast for her. The dishes were on par with her taste and she happily ate them.

Ji Cheng was pleased when he saw her response. ” You're ready to leave?”

Zhao Ming nodded cheerily as she was happy that they are finally going out. She looked around and asked, ” But where is Brother Wen? Is he running late?” she asked curiously.

Ji Cheng frowned when he heard her asking about Wen Ru. He coughed lightly and said, ” He left early to prepare for our visit. Now only were left behind. We should leave early as well so that he doesn't need to wait for long.” he said as he said with a blank face.

Feng Ju who was checking the carriage in which they were supposed to go was speechless when he heard his words.

' He left early to prepare for the visit? Or was he forced to leave early?'
