Chapter 472 - Move into the palace? (1/2)

Zhao Ming walked to Ji Cheng and said, ” Are you doing this because of me?”

” I am doing this for my Empress. How can I let anyone insult my wife? Didn't I tell you that from now on, your Emperor will deal with everyone personally, who will try to mess with you?”

Zhao Ming stared at him and chuckled,” You really know how to talk sweet. ” she pulled a chair and sat opposite of him.

Ji Cheng smiled seeing her behaving casually with him. He found her transition from Your Majesty to Ji Cheng very cute.

She changes the way to address him from time to time. However, in whatever way she calls him, it always feels good.

” Zhao Ming.”

Zhao Ming looked at him when he called out her name.

” Hmm?” she was puzzled when he looked at her seriously.

” Will you move to the palace with me?” Ji Cheng asked without blinking his eyes. He stared at her in anticipation. He wanted to hear only ' Yes' in response.

Zhao Ming blinked her eyes in confusion.

.

' Move into the palace? Weren't they in the palace all along?'

She couldn't comprehend the meaning behind his words.

” You don't want to?” he asked, disappointedly seeing her expressions.

” It's not that…” she hurriedly waved her hands in denial.

” I just.. couldn't understand what you mean. Aren't we living in the palace all along?” she asked in a low voice cautiously.

Ji Cheng was speechless when he heard her words. He was worried that she might reject him but in reality she didn't understand his meaning at all.

He let out a chuckle in relief and said,” I mean, will you come to live with me at the palace, in my chamber?”

He wanted her to move into his chamber at the palace because this way they can be together all the time.

Originally, she was supposed to stay here with him since they got married because only the Emperor and Empress can stay in the palace.

But Wen Xu at that time insisted on letting Zhao Ming stay at the lotus pavilion since Ji Cheng stays out of the palace most of the time.

However, now he wanted her to stay with him at the palace, in his chamber.

His chamber is more big and luxurious than any other chambers. Even the chamber of Empress Dowager is not as great as his. He wanted to provide her with all the luxuries that she was deprived of yet.

He wanted her to officially move into the palace as the Empress.

Empress living in the Palace has more respect than the one, living outside the palace.

…..

Zhao Ming stared at Ji Cheng in confusion. She was not sure if she should move to the palace or not.

While staying at lotus pavilion, she can force him to get out and ask him to go back, but once she decides to stay at the palace, she has to stay with him all the time.

Ji Cheng raised his brows in anticipation as he saw her serious expressions. She was thinking about something but he can't figure out what she was thinking.

' I read about this in one of the books earlier. Didn't it say that the Empress not living in the palace is no better than any other Consort? Does it mean, if I want everyone to realize my worth, I have to move to the Palace?'

Zhao Ming pondered as she tried to remember all the rules and regulations.

” So?” Ji Cheng asked hesitantly.
