Chapter 595 - Dragon and Pheonix (2/2)
…..
The next day,
The Banquet was arranged to welcome Grandmother Shulan in the main hall of the Palace. All the nobles and ministers were invited to the feast.
The Palace Hall was crowded with all the guests and other consorts were also waiting for His Highness and Grandmother Shuren to make her entry.
” Consort Jia shi, don't you think Grandmother Shuren favors Sister Zhao Ming too much?” Xiao Mei who was sitting beside Jia shi asked in curiosity.
Jia shi frowned and looked at Xiao Mei disappointedly. Generally, she doesn't talk like this but her words sounded a bit strange. Xiao Mei immediately explained herself, ” I am just happy that Sister Zhao Ming has someone to support her. I feel bad thinking that by now, she has been bullied by mother and Consort Xiao Li. This way she can take revenge on them.”
Jia shi knitted her brows when she saw that Xiao Li was looking into their direction. She turned to Xiao Mei and said, ” Consort Xiao Mei, the matter about Grandmother Shuren favors Sister Zhao Ming or not, it's not your concern. So please refrain from talking about it.”
Xiao Mei pursed her lips when Jia shi told her off. She pursed her lips and nodded wrongly.
” His Majesty and Her Majesty have arrived.” Just as the guard made this announcement, all the people stood from their seats and looked towards the door in anticipation.
Everyone bowed in courtesy when Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming stepped in the Palace. Their eyes widened in surprise seeing the way they were all dressed up.
Zhao Ming was wearing a beautiful yellow colored dress that has precious colorful gems embellished on it and a phoenix was embroidered on the dress with colorful threads. This gave her a strong aura and made her look more elegant and attractive.
Her hair was neatly styled in a heavy bun which was adored by the jade hairpin given by Shuren. Today she was wearing almost all the accessories given by Grandmother Shuren which made her look more exquisite and royal.
However, other than her, people were shocked by Ji Cheng's outfit. He was wearing the same colored robe as Zhao Ming which had a dragon which was considered as Ji Dynasty's emblem embroidered on it.
Zhao Ming's lips curled upwards in a proud smile seeing others' shocked reactions. She had matched her outfit with Ji Cheng's outfit and spent almost the whole night just to embroider these dragons on their outfits. Even though it's just Grandmother Shuren's welcome banquet, in the palace, no banquet is a small banquet.
Ji Cheng and she went to their royal chairs passing through all the people who were bowing in front of them. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]
” Rise”
Everyone stood from their bowing position and stared at Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming in awe. The aura emanating from Zhao Ming was strong, powerful and it made her look beautiful like a phoenix while Ji Cheng's dragon print made him look strong and powerful as ever.
NOTE: The dragon and phoenix are the powerful symbols of love and perfect balance in married life according to Chinese mythology. Similarly, they considered a symbol of eternity as well.
