Chapter 648 - Head Consort Jia Shi (1/2)

After a while, all the Consorts arrived and took their seats. They could not help but glance at the bed behind Zhao Ming which was hidden behind the peach-colored curtains.

Their expressions darkened thinking that Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng sleep together on the same bed. They never get to visit his chamber before and she gets to sleep with him.

Zhao Ming was satisfied seeing everyone's reaction.

” Empress Dowager and Consort Xiao Li have arrived.” The guard made an announcement, which made everyone sit properly.

Zhao Ming stood up while Jia shi followed her and stood up. Others stood up as well to greet the Empress Dowager.

” Greetings to Empress Dowager.” Zhao Ming greeted Wen Xu politely but the latter didn't respond and turned her head to the side. She didn't say anything further and glanced at Xiao Li waiting for her greeting.

Xiao Li gritted her teeth and said, ” Greetings to the Consort Zhao Ming.” She said in a low voice.

Jia Shi had already greeted Wen Xu, while the latter ignored her. She glanced at Xiao Li who addressed Zhao Ming as Consort and not the Empress.

Her expressions darkened and before Zhao Ming could say anything, she spoke, ” Consort Xiao Li, it's nice to meet you after so long. However, if you're coming to the harem meeting, can you please follow the formalities? I don't think it's forgivable if you address her Majesty as a consort in front of everyone. If His Majesty finds out about this, he won't be happy.” She said while maintaining a polite smile but her words were clear and direct.

Zhao Ming was surprised seeing Jia shi supporting her. Even though she can handle Xiao Li herself but it was a great surprise for her that Jia shi was standing up against Xiao Li.

Xiao Li gritted her teeth seeing the way Jia shi was acting. Even though she is acting Head consort, can she insult her? No. Not at all.

” Consort Jia Shi, I didn't notice that you're also here. Nice to meet you too. ” She smiled and didn't respond to her previous words and addressed her as just a consort, not head consort.

According to the rules, only Jia shi and Wen Xu can avoid using formalities who are lower than them. However, for other consorts, they must address Jia Shi as the head consort, especially at the official setting like this.

Wen Xu snickered and didn't stop Xiao Li. She doesn't like the way Zhao Ming and Jia shi were acting.

She can take Zhao Ming's attitude for once, but who is Jia shi? She is just a temporary head Consort and can't do much anyway.

Jia shi smiled hearing Xiao Li's words and stared at her without saying anything. She turned around and looked at Lu shi. She said something to her in a low voice, while the latter nodded and went to find something.

Zhao Ming stood there and wondered what Jia shi was planning.

After a moment, Lu shi brought a heavy book in her hands and passed it to her. Jia shi took the book and passed it to Xiao Li.

” Consort Xiao Li, this is an imperial rule book. I want you to read this book and write the contents of formal titles in the palace, 10 times which are written on the very first page. ”

”-_-”.
