Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 555 - What..are You Wearing?

When Zhao Ming reached the backyard of the palace, she was surprised to see someone was already there before her.

It was none other than Xiao Li.

Xiao Li didn't enter the chamber but was talking from outside. Wen Xu was wearing common clothes and it was very strange to see her look so casual.

" Consort Xiao Li, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Li was startled when she heard Zhao Ming's words. She pursed her lips and turned around in exasperation.

" What are you doing here? Why did you come here? Go away. I said go away." Wen Xu shouted in annoyance as soon as she saw Zhao Ming. She hated her sight because it was because of her that she is living in such a place..

The abandoned chamber was not clean and does not have proper necessary items. Also, there are no servants and she has to do everything. She has to cook her meals and make her bed herself.

Not only that, but she also wasn't even allowed to wear her old clothes. She was given a pair of clothes compared to rags.

She hated the sight of Zhao Ming because it was because of her that she is in this state.

Zhao Ming's lips curled up in a smile as she walked towards the duo.

" Consort Xiao Li, I know after getting suspended you have so much time on your hands, but you need to follow the rules. You can't come here to meet the Empress Dowager.".

Xiao Li pursed her lips and said, " Sister, why are you being so heartless. She is our mother, you shouldn't act like this "

" She is not my mother. Neither does she would like to have a daughter like me. So it will be better to keep our original relations intact." Zhao Ming replied with a sarcastic smile.

' Her mother was way better than this Wen Xu.'.

" Zhao Ming, Xiao Li came to meet me, why are you getting jealous of it? Unlike you, she cares about me and that's why she came to visit me. Since you're not here to say anything nice, just leave."

Zhao Ming chuckled when she heard Wen Xu's words.

" Mother, it seems like you forget something. You are living here as a punishment. So you are not allowed to meet anyone without His Highness's permission. Neither can you eat food from outside." Zhao Ming said as she glanced at all the food items brought by Xiao Li.

Zhao Ming then turned to Xiao Li and said, " Consort Xiao Li, you know the rules very well yet you came here. Should I hold you accountable for this? "

Xiao Li pursed her lips but couldn't say anything. She came to tell Wen Xu about how snobbish Zhao Ming was acting these days.

Since the day Wen Xu moved to this abandoned chamber, she has no one to talk about Zhao Ming's bitchy attitude.

But who would have thought that Zhao Ming would come here the day, she came here.

" You...take all these things back and share with other maids. " Zhao Ming glanced at the maid behind Xiao Li and asked her to take all the food and stuff that Xiao Li brought for Wen Xu.

"-_-"

"-_-"

" Zhao Ming, what are you trying to do? How can you be so wicked? I am the Empress Dowager, do you think you have the ability to act like this to me?" Wen Xu roared in annoyance but Zhao Ming didn't heed to her words and stood there until maids cleared the table and took all the items back.

'Why was she here anyway?' Wen Xu gritted her teeth seeing Zhao Ming acting like a thug.

Wen Xu was annoyed because Zhao Ming didn't leave until Xiao Li left the chamber and the maids took all the stuff back with them.

" She just came here to give me a hard time." Wen Xu gritted her teeth after Zhao Ming left.

….

Two days later, it was the day for the month-end court session where Ji Cheng would listen to all the ministers and the head of the villages.

Since Zhao Ming is now handling the work of Wen Xu, she got ready to go to the session.

Even though she isn't necessarily required to attend this session as in this one, all the ministers and heads of villages will be there to discuss the progress and share their problems.

But she wanted to attend this one because it will be a better way to understand the workings of this world.

Even though she was interested in fashion, she has studied business as her main subject.

So she was curious as to how they manage things here. Maybe she can be of help in any way. historical

" Miss, you're ready…"

Lu shi who just entered the room was shocked to see Zhao Ming who was standing in front of the mirror.

Zhao Ming turned around when she heard Lu Shi's words.

" I am ready. Just give me a minute." Zhao Ming said while fixing her hair.

"-_-"

Lu shi stood there with her lips parted apart in confusion.

" Miss...are you..really going to wear this to the royal court."

Zhao Ming turned around and looked down at her clothes.

" Why? Don't they look good? I think these clothes suit me very well." She said with a bright smile on her face.

Lu shi pursed her lips seeing Zhao Ming's bright smile.

' Yeah. They really look good on you.'

" Zhao Ming, are you rea.." Lu shi was startled when she heard Ji Cheng's words when he entered the room.

Even Ji Cheng got shocked seeing Zhao Ming's outfit. He stopped in his steps when he saw what she was wearing.

" You..you..why are you wearing these clothes?"

Zhao Ming blinked innocently and said, "Because they look good on me. Also, they are much more comfortable and will go well with today's theme."

"-_-"

Seeing Ji Cheng has arrived, Lu shi quietly left the room.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips as he couldn't understand strange words.

" So you want to go to court, wearing my clothes?"

She blinked and nodded. .

" Yes. Don't I look good in this?" She twirled in front of him to show her outfit

She was wearing one of his navy blue outfits which were not luxurious but rather comfortable.

She styled her hair in a long ponytail which gave her a manly yet charming look.

Ji Cheng was speechless as he had no words as in how to respond to her. Because she indeed looked pretty in those clothes.

Moreover, she was wearing his clothes. Even though they are slightly large on her but she looked extremely adorable to him in them.

" Why? Does it look weird?" She asked when he didn't say anything for a while.
