…..
The court ended on a good note and everyone gathered Xiao Li's father to know more about this strange new item. They have many foreign traders in the Ji Dynasty as well but they never tasted this dark-colored thing before.
Zhao Ming returned to her chamber while Ji Cheng went to his study. His workload seems to have gotten heavier that he barely has any time to accompany her for lunch these days.
She was checking the account book that Wen Ru gave it to her when she heard a knock on the door.
” Your Majesty, Empress Dowager has called you to her chamber. ”
Zhao Ming raised her brows hearing the maid's words. She stared at the maid for a minute and said, ” Please convey my message to the Empress Dowager that His Majesty has strictly prohibited me from going to the orchid pavilion. If she has something important then she can deliver a message with you, or wait till His Majesty returns. I will visit her, once he comes back. ” She said curtly while shifting her focus on the account book again.
”-_-”
The maid was surprised to hear Zhao Ming's direct reply.
Zhao Ming was not stupid to go to that place alone again. In the past she made this mistake, and Ji Cheng has scolded her so much for it.
Moreover, she doesn't want to ruin her mood by visiting Wen Xu at this moment.
…..
Orchid pavilion.
Wen Xu's face turned red in anger when she heard Zhao Ming's response from the maid. Xiao Ruogang was also present in the chamber and he heard how an Empress rejected the Empress Dowager.
This shows how much value Wen Xu holds.
” Go away.” Wen Xu shouted at the maid and asked her to get out.
She pursed her lips and said, ” You don't need to worry about her. I will talk to her later and will make her give the position of Head Consort to Xiao Li back. Xiao Li is like my daughter, how can I let her feel wronged?”
Xiao Li who was sitting beside her pursed her lips. Right now, Wen Xu has no worth, even Zhao Ming doesn't feel intimidated by her.
How can she help her?
” Empress Dowager, Xiao Li is my only daughter. I didn't even want this marriage to happen from the start. How can the daughter of King Xiao Ruogang be the Head consort and not an Empress? Not only that, your son has removed her from the position of head Consort as well. Do you think it's right?”
” That girl who came from the low background was sitting on the chair of the Empress while I, the king of L country, had to address her as the Empress. And here my daughter is not even the head consort anymore. Can you see how infuriating and insulting it is?” He said irritatingly.
Wen Xu's lips twitched hearing his words as she was speechless after hearing his words. She doesn't like Zhao Ming as well. But does she have any choice?
