Chapter 649 - Another dream? (1/2)

Zhao Ming glanced at Xiao Li who was on the edge of her seat, showing her best smile. Her lips curled up in a sly smile which others failed to notice.

” So...the consort who deserved to take the position of Head Consort is….Consort Jia Shi.” She paused and looked at everyone before continuing.

Xiao Li who was smiling with her head down, feeling a little embarrassed and overwhelmed froze when she heard Zhao Ming's words.

She was expecting her to call her name but she didn't. She clenched her fists as she was not sure if she heard it right.

She raised her head and looked at Zhao Ming who winked at her and smiled at her. Her blood boiled seeing her ridiculous smile.

She had an urge to punch her on the face but this was not a lady like behavior. She had to take several deep breaths to control herself from losing her temper.

On the side, Jia shi was equally shocked. She was not expecting this result. She thought that Xiao Li would take the position of Head Consort as usual since it was her position.

She was just a temporary replacement. She did her best to help Zhao Ming during these three months and surprisingly she found herself getting drowned by the work which never tired her out.

Moreover, Zhao Ming always guided her to handle not only the administrative matters of the harem but also the disputes between the consorts. Because of her position, other Consorts started to talk to her nicely to get into her good books.

Though she was liking all this attention which was new to her, she knew her place. She knew that it was only momentary and everything will go back to the same after Xiao Li was given the position.

However...Zhao Ming made her the Head Consort. She was still in a daze and looked at her in shock.

Zhao Ming turned her attention to Jia shi and noticed her nervous yet shocked expressions. She smiled and continued, ” Before anyone questions my decision to appoint as Head Consort, let me explain the reason behind it.”

” During these three months, Consort Jia Shi not only took over the position of Head Consort but she managed the work very well and in an organized way.”

” Her reports were detailed and well maintained. Not only that, but she also introduced some great ideas which helped in sorting out the workload and introduced new hobbies and facilities for the other consorts.”

” Also, it was Consort Jia shi's idea that other consorts will be given extra rewards for their extra and productive activities. ”

” In fact, in the past three months, the revenue flow in the harem treasury has increased because the things which were made by our beautiful consorts were sold in the market upon His Majesty's permission. And again, Consort Jia shi has a great role in that.” She said with a subtle smile as she added some compliments to make the other Consorts happy.

She was just polishing her marketing skills at this point. She needed to use it for Wen Ru's shop, so it's better to try here before applying it there.

Jia shi looked at Zhao Ming in surprise because it was her idea to sell the items in the market and convince His Majesty. She had just merely shown her how skillful the consorts are.

However, Zhao Ming has given her credit for the things in which she didn't do anything much. She felt touched and looked at her gratefully.

Zhao Ming gave her a relaxed look and turned to everyone.

” You all know how the organization of the harem was in the past. However, in these three months, not only the organization has improved but the revenue flow has increased as well. So you tell me now, does anyone have any issue regarding Consort Jia shi being the Head consort?”
