Chapter 405 - I Will Accompany You If You Want To Go Out.
Zhao Ming said that she wanted to go out to look around the local market but she didn\'t ask Ji Cheng about it before agreeing to it.
After saying her words, she glanced at Ji Cheng cautiously and asked, " Is that okay, your highness?"
She was worried that he might reject her like yesterday but to her surprise he agreed.
" It\'s fine. But."
Zhao Ming was joyed when he agreed to her request but her expressions stiffened when he said, \'But.\'
She looked at him anticipatingly and was praying inwardly that he doesn\'t reject her this time.
" You can go out to look around but… i will come with you as well. You\'re not allowed to go alone." he said while drinking tea with a straight face.
Zhao Ming was surprised when she heard his words. She was planning to go to the market with Lu shi since it will be more comfortable if she went with her.
.
She not only wanted to be around but was planning to do some shopping as well. However, she was not so comfortable with Ji Cheng doing shopping and roaming around.
Because shopping requires so much patience which she was not sure if he had or not. She can\'t be hasty and buy everything.
She needs to look around properly and buy only those things which are unique and she will need in future.
" Umm. Your highness, you don\'t need to take so much trouble by accompanying me to the market. I can simply go with Lu shi and Brother Wen Ru\'s one of the maid can also accompany us and show us around."
" It will be too much trouble for you to hang out with me like this. And it\'s not good for you to go out like this as well. " she tried her best to reject him politely.
However, nervousness grew up inside her when she saw his expressionless face.
" You don\'t need to worry about that. It\'s no trouble for me. But it\'s final that I will accompany you if you want to go out otherwise we will leave for the Palace right away." he said straightly as he ate his dumplings.
Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she felt helpless against him. She sighed and nodded her head.
She can\'t dare to argue again as she was worried that he might reject her and will insist on going back to the palace.
After breakfast, Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming left to explore the local market. With them, Lu shi and Feng Ju went along with them.
Wen Ru also wanted to accompany them and wanted to show them around but Ji Cheng rejected his thought and asked him to wait for them.
Wen Ru couldn\'t understand why Ji Cheng was not taking him with them and asked him to stay here and wait for them.
Ji Cheng does not want to take Lu shi with them as well but Zhao Ming doesn\'t want to leave Lu shi behind and insisted on taking her with them.
…
When Zhao Ming came out of the pavilion of royal brush, she changed into casual cotton clothes and removed all the accessories since Ji Cheng asked that it\'s not good to go out all dressed up.
Though she felt bad since she had to change her clothes and remove all her jewelry that she wore but it\'s all worth it since she is getting to go out.
Ji Cheng doesn\'t want them to go out with all dressed up since everyone will recognize them right away. But if they change their clothes and make a few changes in their appearances, people might not recognize them.
Though yesterday a few people gathered around the Royal brush but not everyone was there. So there is a possibility that not everyone will recognize them.
Zhao Ming was wearing the cotton blue colored gown which was casual and many locals wore clothes of this type.
She was happy since it was very comfortable and refreshing.
Ji Cheng who was walking beside her looked at her smiling widely as his lips curled upwards seeing her so happy.
Seeing her so happy he remembered how Xiao Li gets annoyed when she was asked to wear some casual clothes like commoners whenever she goes out.
However, Zhao Ming was different. She knows how to present herself and when.
He was pleased with her behaviour that she didn\'t cause fuss when she was asked to change her clothes.
Zhao Ming didn\'t notice Ji Cheng\'s gaze which was only following her.
" Oh, what is that?" Zhao Ming stops in her steps when she sees something interesting.
She walked towards the store on the left side and walked without asking anyone. Ji Cheng didn\'t say anything and followed her quietly.
Lu Shi and Feng Ju who were walking behind them were surprised when they saw that Ji Cheng was following her quietly and let her go wherever she wanted.
" Waah. It\'s so beautiful." Zhao Ming was amazed when she saw small handmade dolls of clothes. It was using the traditional clothes and it looked so beautiful.
It\'s all handmade and there were not only dolls but other toys as well. Though it\'s not for her use, however, it was fascinating to see such things.
Ji Cheng smiled helplessly seeing her getting excited by only simple toys and dolls.
Zhao Ming was exploring the market like she was in a big mall and was stopping on almost every shop.
However Ji Cheng didn\'t say anything and urged her to hurry up. It will take them only 4-6 hours to reach the Palace and even if they leave in the afternoon, they will reach by evening.
" What is that?"
" Wow, it\'s so beautiful."
" How can there be something like this?"
Zhao Ming was fascinated seeing every single item in the market. Those items were well made and were very creative. Moreover, their price was too cheap.
She felt like she was robbing them because seeing their hard work and passion, she felt that the money they charged was too low.
That\'s why she gave some extra money while buying their items because she doesn\'t want to give them an unfair price.
She knows the right value of these items but they don\'t. So that\'s why she gave them the price they deserve.
The shopkeepers from which she bought something were grateful to her and gave her extra items as well.
While other shopkeepers invited her to their shop seeing that she was giving other shopkeepers heavy tips.
Ji Cheng was surprised with Zhao Ming behaving this way. He didn\'t understand why she was giving the money more than they were charging.
But he doesn\'t mind because his Empress can do anything. If he give them money without taking anything, he won\'t mind
