Chapter 765 - News from the border. (1/2)

Zhao Ming was sitting in the study room on Ji Cheng's chair and was checking the reports of the harem given by Head Consort Jia shi. It's been three weeks since Ji Cheng left the palace and there was no news from the border.

At first, it was difficult for her to accept the truth that he went on the war and she couldn't even see him off.

Before her husband, he is the Emperor and the people look up to him for their lives.

With the support of Aunt Shen Jia and Wen Xu's overdosed pampering, she gathered herself and immersed herself in work as she was aware if she doesn't work, she will keep thinking about the worse things.

And she doesn't want to think about negative thoughts at a moment when a new life was growing inside her.

The door of the study was open and when Jia Shi entered the room, she saw Zhao Ming still reading the reports.

She sighed and walked to her and closed the reports, startling her. ” Jia shi, what are you doing?”

” What am I doing? What are you doing? How can you still work? It's past lunchtime and you're still working. How can you be so irresponsible towards your health?” Jia Shi scolded her while clearing the table, placing the files on the side.

Zhao Ming let out a low laugh seeing Jia shi nagging her like an elder sister when in reality she was elder than her in age and position. However, in the last few days, she has gotten closer to her and they don't use formalities when alone.

” Before leaving the palace, His Majesty has put me responsible for your health. I can't let him down by keeping you and the future heir of Ji Dynasty hungry for so long.”

Zhao Ming smiled at her words and shakes her head before giving in to her. ” Yes, Yes, now the future 'heir' is more important than this poor Empress.”

Jia shi chuckles and didn't respond to her dramatic comment and asks Lu shi to bring food for Zhao Ming.

After lunch, she was in the orchid pavilion and was showing her beauty products that she uses to Wen Xu.

” This rose tint will give your lips a beautiful pink color and will also moisten your lips.” Zhao Ming explained while showing the lip color that she had made some time ago for herself.

Wen Xu's eyes widened seeing the silver square box in Zhao Ming's hand in which there was a soft red color paste which is not only beautiful but also has a distinct scent.

As they were chatting, a guard entered the chamber and said, ” Empress Dowager, a soldier has come from the eastern border with His Majesty's news.”

Wen Xu pursed her lips and glanced at Zhao Ming who became anxious hearing this. She patted the back of her hand and said, ” Call him inside.”

After the guard left, she shook her head and said, ” I am sure it will be nothing. Don't be nervous.” She said those words to compose her but it was not easy for her either.
