Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 457 - Harem Meeting (10)

Xiao Li was stunned upon hearing Zhao Ming's words.

' How can she say that she will remove me from my position and replace me with someone else?'

Everyone in the room was shocked as well. No one has ever dared to touch Xiao Li's position as head Consort in the harem.

Generally, by the hierarchy only Xiao Li can be the head Consort because she got married to JI Cheng after Zhao Ming. But in fact, Xiao Li always treated herself more than the Head consort.

She always thought herself as the Empress and had more reputation in the Harem than Zhao Ming. However, now Zhao Ming was saying that she will replace her with someone?

Since when she became so gutsy?

….

Wen Xu slammed her hand on the table in anger and asked, " What did you say? You will remove Xiao Li as the Head Consort? Who are you to do that? Even if she is suspended, it is for only three months. It's not decisive so you can't remove her from the position."

" Don't you dare mess with her. Zhao Ming, I am warning you for the last time. Don't push my limits, if you continue to keep your bratty attitude then don't blame me for being ruthless. " Wen Xu warned Zhao Ming in front of everyone.

Other consorts were shaking in fear seeing Wen Xu's side. Her words were too direct and threatening.

" Mother, I never said that I will remove Consort Xiao Li from her position. I just said that I have to give this position to another Consort to help me with the work. And if that consort did a good job, then I can't remove her from the position. So, I haven't decided anything yet. " Zhao Ming said in a calm tone without flinching even once.

Everyone was surprised seeing how calm Zhao Ming was in front of Wen Xu.

In truth, Zhao Ming wanted to laugh out loud as she was having so much fun. She doesn't know why but she was feeling immense pleasure by making Wen Xu and Xiao Li annoyed.

'This is the best feeling ever. Oh, it feels so good to be the Empress.'

She was glad that she came into this world as the Empress, not some maiden, or concubine. It would be too pitiful if that would have happened.

Because she is definitely not suitable for that kind of controlled life. At least being the Empress she can do these things, but imagining her life as the mere maiden makes her shudder in fear.

She was lucky that she became Empress.

Zhao Ming looked at Wen Xu and continued, "And if we talk about authority to change Consort Xiao Li from her position, then.. I definitely have that. I am the Empress of the Ji Dynasty and I can change the Head Consort if she is not working well. And you also know how work was done in the past." Zhao Ming said while comfortably sitting on the chair.

Xiao Li frowned when she heard Zhao Ming's words.

Zhao Ming didn't bother with anyone's glare and continued," However, I won't go onto that part. I just want to look forward and hope that whoever becomes the head Consort can work well."

Wen Xu gritted her teeth in anger. She was seething in anger and was trying to control herself from slapping Zhao Ming in the face.

She took a deep breath because she needed to end all this and? hurry and talk to Ji Cheng about all this. historical

How could he give her and Xiao Li the red letter? Moreover, the reasons were not clearly explained as well.

" Zhao Ming, I am telling you don't go overboard. If you crossed your lines, then don't think that you will be saved just because you have Ji Cheng." Wen Xu looked at Zhao Ming with her stiffened jaw.

Zhao Ming ignored her words and looked at the other consorts.

" I have already decided whom I want to take the position of the Head Consort. "

Zhao Ming glanced at Jia Shi and asked," Consort Jia shi, are you willing to take the position of Head Consort?"

Jia shi was caught off guard when Zhao Ming suddenly asked her this question. She was the daughter of the concubine and doesn't even have a good relationship with Xiao Li and Wen Xu.

That's why she never expected to become the Head Consort at all.

…

Zhao Ming wanted Jia shi to become the Head Consort because among all the consorts she is the only clear headed person and she believed that Jia shi can handle this position better than Xiao Li.

" I.. How can I?" Jia shi stammered as she was caught off guard.

" Zhao Ming, are you stupid or what? How can she become the Head Consort? She is the daughter of a concubine. She can't take this position." Wen Xu shouted because she doesn't want Jia shi to get this position.

Because Wen Xu doesn't have a good relationship with Jia shi because she is concubine's daughter.

She was planning to make Xie Mei the head Consort then things will be easier for Xiao Li and Zhao Ming won't be able to remove Xiao Li from her position then.

But it will be a little difficult to get Jia Shi on her side. That's why she was against this decision.

Zhao Ming didn't listen to Wen Xu's babbling and looked at Jia shi and asked firmly, " Are you willing to take the position of Head Consort? You don't need to think about anything else. Just tell me what you think."

Jia shi pursed her lips as she stared into Zhao Ming's eyes. She knows that she wasn't joking and if she agreed to her words, then Zhao Ming won't ever bother with Wen Xu at all.

Jia shi could hear others whispering and Wen Xu's and Xiao Li's words who were looking down on her.

" Sister Zhao Ming, how can Jia shi become the head Consort? She will be stressed if you give her so much work. It's better that you appoint Xie Mei if you want something to replace me. At least find some good replacement for this position."

Xie Mei's expressions brightened up hearing Xiao Li's words. She was glad that she followed the right person.

" I am sure Xie Mei could do this. She has always helped me with the work and has a good relationship with everyone. That's why…. " Xiao Li also tried to promote Xie Mei because they can control her.

Xie Mei is so stupid that she won't even realize that she was being used by them. She will do whatever she will say, so it's better that she becomes the Head Consort.

" I will do it."? However, before Xiao Li could complete her words, Jia shi interrupted her words and said firmly while looking into Zhao Ming's eyes.

She knows that Zhao Ming is giving her a chance to prove herself. Even though she is concubine's daughter, her father has loved her alot.

But Wen Xu has some serious obsession with bloodline and nobility that's why she was never considered as a princess and always taunted her for being the concubine's daughter.

But Zhao Ming is giving her a chance to come out of her comfort zone and show them that she can also become the Head Consort.

She wanted to show everyone that she can be the head Consort better than Xiao Li.
