Chapter 784 - Bullying the Emperor (1/2)

The next day,

The main palace, where the banquet arrangements have been made, was decorated with beautiful flowers, brightly lit decorative lanterns, and the golden clothes were dr.a.p.ed around the pillars completing the picture.

The banquet hall was filled with people, dressed in a precious-royal dress with the most expensive and precious ornaments that they have, since it was the banquet ceremony of the most beautiful and adorable Princess and charming Prince of the Ji Dynasty.

Wen Xu has already arrived at the banquet hall and has taken her place, which is above everyone else and at the same level as Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming. She was dressed in a royal blue dress and the ornaments on her body were showing the power she holds in the banquet.

She turned to Consort Jia shi who was talking to a maid and was talking about the arrangements of the banquet, ” Jia shi, you did a great job in preparing his banquet. It's beautiful.” She complimented her, which surprised Jia shi by her sudden comment.

She turned to her and immediately bowed to her gratefully and said, ” I am blessed to be recognized by Empress Dowager. Even though I am still lacking, I tried my best to prepare for the banquet of our royal twins.” she said with a smile.

In these five years, not only the political and economic condition of the Ji Dynasty has changed, but since Xiao Li was not there, the people in the palace have become much more obedient and polite, especially the consorts that were under Xiao Li at that time.

And the biggest reason for that was the change of Empress Dowager. Since has accepted Zhao Ming as her daughter-in-law and has given her well-deserved respect, all the maids and consorts in the palace automatically changed their stance towards Zhao Ming.

Moreover, Zhao Ming is not only the Empress of the country but the future Empress Dowager who will attain the title after Ji Xicheng takes over the throne. There is no way that they can stay against her with the lowly position of theirs.

Wen Xu was pleased by her polite response and seeing how capable she is when it comes to the harem works, the image of Jia shi in her eyes was getting better every time she met her. She is not a lowly consort anymore who was the daughter of the aristocrat with a concubine but the Head Consort of the Ji Dynasty who not only manages the harem but also takes care of such important occasions as well.

-

[Everyone, stand up. His Majesty and Her Majesty are making an entry with the royal twins.]

When everyone was gathered in small groups and was socializing with other respected guests, the guard who was standing at the door, came forward and struck his long spear on the ground to get everyone's attention before making the announcement.

Everyone immediately dropped what they were doing and stood while bowing in two lines to make a pathway for them to walk to the throne in between.

Wen Xu, who was also standing in the courtesy towards the crown, smiled seeing Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming who were looking ethereal together while entering the banquet hall with two little buns walking by their side.

Ji Yaling was dressed in a beautiful royal blue dress with the flower hair clip on her hair. Similarly, Ji Xicheng was also dressed in a royal blue outfit and his indifferent expressions were enough for people to know about the power he holds. He is charismatic at this young age, what will happen when this young prince will grow into a fine man who will eventually take over the throne?

Meanwhile, Zhao Ming was dressed in a royal red dress with golden imprints on it to match the outfit with Ji Cheng's red and golden robe. Her hair was tied into a sophisticated bun with a beautiful phoenix jade hairpin in her hair.

She followed Ji Cheng to their throne with slow and stable steps in her long-heavy dress. After years of practice, she has finally got hold of walking elegantly and slowly without hopping like a penguin.

' I can't believe it took me years to learn just this Empress-like walking.' she pursed her lips and cursed herself inwardly for being this clumsy.
