Chapter 597 - Head Consort (2/2)

Xiao Li glanced at Wen Xu but her eyes turned red with anger seeing Wen Xu dipping her head down. In front of Shuren, even Wen Xu has become a scared kitten.

What about her tigress ferocity? Her powerful aura?

In the hall, everyone started whispering about the drama which was happening in the royal family.

Jia shi was startled when she heard Grandmother Shuren's words. She hesitantly stood up and glanced at Shuren and then Zhao Ming.

She wasn't sure if she should go up or not.

” Consort Jia shi, come here. You are the Head consort so it's only right for you to sit here.”

Jia shi nodded and went to sit beside Ji Cheng, passing through Xiao Li who was seething in anger.

People were shocked when they heard Zhao Ming's words.

” Head consort? Then what about Consort Xiao Li?”

” That's what I am confused about? Wasn't she the head Consort? Then what's happening?”

There were only a few people who were aware of Xiao Li's punishment while most of the people were unaware of this change.

For them, Xiao Li was the Head Consort and the whole situation was rather ridiculous.

Xiao Li's face turned crimson hearing everyone's comment. She went back to her seat in annoyance and clutched her dress tightly.

Shen Jia was sitting beside her, seeing Xiao Li's side profile she frowned as she thought about something.

' Is she the one?'

….

After a while, the banquet officially started and a few dancing groups gave their elegant, beautiful performance.

Zhao Ming started to feel bored only after one dance performance. The music was light and soothing. She felt that it was her lullaby which was putting her to sleep.

Ji Cheng glanced at her and sighed seeing her eyes drooping and her head tilting to the side.

He sighed and leaned in and whispered in her ears,” Don't sleep. The banquet has just started. We still have a greeting ceremony and feast in a while.”

Hearing his words, she immediately came back to life and widened her eyes to keep herself awake and took a deep breath to not let herself be asleep by this music.

Ji Cheng chuckled seeing her making efforts to stay awake. He called Feng Ju and asked him to bring some tea for Zhao Ming.

Shuren noticed the exchange between them from far and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.
