Chapter 449 - Harem Meeting (2) (2/2)

Zhao Ming was pleased with her attitude. She wasn't friendly but she wasn't rude either.

She remembered that this was the same woman who has supported her at the Banquet.

In the whole Palace, other than Zhao Ming, only this girl doesn't have a good relationship with Xiao Li.

” Consort Jia Shi '' Zhao Ming warmly smiled at the woman in front of her who was clad in a simple yet elegant pink colored outfit which gave her feminine and elegant look.

After exchanging greetings, Zhao Ming gestured to Jia Shi to sit on the chair next to her.

” Empress Zhao Ming, how come you changed the venue for the meeting suddenly?” Jia shi asked as she looked around. She pursed her lips realizing that other than her no one has arrived yet.

Zhao Ming smiled and replied, ” It's been so long that we are holding a meeting at the orchid pavilion. I thought that it's time to make some changes. ”

Jia shi smiled as if understanding the meaning behind her words and did not say anything.

Zhao Ming raised her brows in interest as she saw that Jia shi did not ask anything further. Seems like she does not like to talk much.

They waited for some time and no one said a word during that time. There was the awkward silence between the two.

….

After waiting for almost more than an hour, other consorts started coming one by one. They greeted Zhao Ming because of formality otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to do so.

That's why Zhao Ming didn't even acknowledge their greetings and didn't nod at them. She just quietly drank her tea without bothering with them.

Jia shi was drinking her tea as well and was amused seeing Zhao Ming's attitude. Zhao Ming didn't even acknowledge their existence and continued in her own world.

” Hmph, did you see that? She has become so arrogant. She didn't even respond to my greeting. Didn't I tell you before, she only pretends to be nice. But now she has let go of her mask and was showing her true colors.” the consort who was sitting far away from Zhao Ming said in a low voice to the consort next to her.

Zhao Ming glanced at the woman and let out a chuckle as she heard her words.

She remembered seeing this girl at the Banquet. She was the sidekick of Xiao Li.

Even though she was sitting far from her, she could clearly hear her words just like other people in the room.

Everyone could hear her words but was pretending to not to.

Xie Mei's voice was not too low because she never bothered about Zhao Ming before.

She never considered Zhao Ming's feelings before because she has Xiao Li's support and knows that it's beneficial to be on Xiao Li's side.

' Hah, continue your drama. I will show you how much I have changed in a while.' Zhao Ming didn't bother anyone and swirled the tea cup in her hand.

” You're right. She looks so beautiful. She looks like a completely different person. ” the consort next to her was busy admiring Zhao Ming's outfit and jewelry.

” Hah. She's not that beautiful. Sister Xiao Li is more beautiful and elegant than her. She also has much more expensive and beautiful dresses than her. After all, Sister Xiao Li is the princess of L country. ” Xie Mei shamelessly keeps calling Xiao Li her sister to show off her proximity to her.

Jia shi was worried that Zhao Ming would be hurt after hearing all these words but when she saw that she was smiling, she felt that she was worrying too much.

She has seen in the past few days that Zhao Ming has changed a lot. She was not the same conservative and simple girl.

Instead she has become bold and more exotic than before. She has started to get dressed up more than before and never heeds to others' words much.
