Chapter 671 - Market visit I (2/2)
Jia shi was shocked hearing his words. She has never imagined in her wild dreams that she will get the chance to be with His Majesty, leave alone the chance to go to the market with him.
However, she glanced at Zhao Ming and understood that he was doing it only for her. Since she woke up from the coma, his majesty and Zhao Ming's relationship has improved a lot, leaving all the other consorts jealous.
Zhao Ming stared at Ji Cheng and frowned, ” But your Majesty, I and Consort Jia shi can manage everything. I don't think that there is any need for you to accompany us. You should go and do your work.” She smiled robotically and controlled her urge to show her tongue to him.
Last night when she asked him to accompany her to the market, he rejected her saying that he has a lot of work. However, rather than canceling the plan, she decided to go with Jia shi.
He cleared his throat and said, ” It's okay. I can make some time to help my Empress with the harem's work.”
Zhao Ming pursed her lips and shot him a glance. This man sure knows how to do sweet talk.from
In the end, Ji Cheng accompanied them to the market. They were all clad in casual clothes to get mixed up in the common people.
Since they were going with women, they were taking the horse carriage, which will be stopped at some distance before the market to keep their identities hidden.
The ladies boarded the carriage while Ji Cheng followed them on the horse with guards following them.
….
In the market, Zhao Ming and Jia shi were walking hand in hand while Ji Cheng was walking behind them with Feng Ju. Other guards and maids were following them at some distance secretly.
He shook his head seeing Zhao Ming holding Jia shi's hand intimately while leaving him behind with Feng Ju.
Even though it was afternoon time, it was much more crowded and Chinese lights were hanging along the roads making it look more beautiful than ever.
The games for children were also available there while the small food stalls and restaurants for merchants and nobles were there as well.
The market was filled with items that can satisfy the needs of everyone.
” Ah, this earring is so beautiful. Con...Jia Shi, would you like to try them? They will look good on you.” Zhao Ming stopped at a stall in the market and said to Jia shi.
Since they can't use formal titles here, she used her name which surprised the latter. It took a few seconds for Jia shi to process her words as she shyly nodded and took the earnings to try on.
” Aiya, they look so beautiful. Auntie, give us two pairs of these.”
” Ah, Jia shi, let's go over there. They are selling braised pork skewers. Oh, I am salivating.” Zhao Ming was stopping everywhere forgetting that they came out to inspect their stall.
