Chapter 136 - Banquet ( 3 )

Zhao Ming also heard the words of that consort who praised Zhao Ming and compared her with Xiao Li. She turned to look at that consort and gave her a sweet smile.

The Consort who spoke before became perplexed seeing Zhao Ming\'s smile. She awkwardly smiled back.

Then Zhao Ming turned to look at Xiao Li, whose face has become white from anger. She was trying hard to control her temper and maintain a smile on her face.

Hearing the Consort\'s words, she gave a hostile gaze to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming noticed her hostile gaze and raised her eyebrows at her.

She smirked seeing the expression of Xiao Li, \' She\'s trying hard to maintain her smile. Hah. Let\'s see, how long you can maintain your fake smile. \' she snickered inwardly.

...

Ji Cheng noticed all the gazes on Zhao Ming. He ignored their gazes and held her hands in front of them.

This sudden action stunned Zhao Ming who was busy having a staring contest with Xiao Li.

Even Xiao Li was also caught off guard.

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and led her in front of the Empress Dowager and nodded at her.

Zhao Ming understood his meaning and they both slightly bent to greet the Empress Dowager.

" Happy Birthday Mother. May you live a healthy and long life." they both greeted Wen Xu.

On the way to the palace, Ji Cheng has told that they have to greet the Empress Dowager once they reached the palace.

So when Ji Cheng nodded at her, she understood his meaning.

..

When Ji Cheng wished Wen Xu a happy birthday, she was happy and all smiley.

But when her gaze fell on Zhao Ming, who was unwillingly repeating his words with a fake smile on her face, her expressions darkened.

\' What a rude girl she is. Does she forgot her manners too with her memories.\'

Wen Xu ignored her and turned to Ji Cheng and said, " Oh my son, thank you so much. I am so glad that you\'re my son. Not everyone has a filial son like you." she said while caressing Ji Cheng\' s head lovingly.

Right now, she was a mother more than the Empress Dowager.

Ji Cheng smiled at her Mother, but his face darkened when she ignored Zhao Ming.

But Zhao Ming doesn\'t mind that she didn\'t respond to her wishes. She just stood there in a not caring manner.

Seeing Wen Xu ignoring Zhao Ming, Xiao Li felt satisfied. At least the Empress Dowager was on her side.

Ji Cheng turned to look at Zhao Ming only to found that she was looking at her \'nails?\'

He doesn\'t know if he should be laugh to cry at this moment. He should be happy that she was not affected by Wen Xu\'s behavior but are her nails are more important than this banquet?

He found her behavior unique and amusing.

He turned to Wen Xu and said, " Should we start the banquet now, Mother?"

Wen Xu gave Zhao Ming a disdainful look and turned to Ji Cheng and said, " Yes. Everyone was waiting for you." she said with a smile.

Ji Cheng nodded and held Zhao Ming\'s hands again, this action brought her to the reality again.

She followed him, and he showed her, her large royal chair beside him. She looked at the large royal chair made of gold.

Her mouth was kept open. \' Wow. They\'re filthy rich, to have a golden chair.\'

Ji Cheng led her to the chair and helped her settle on it. Everyone looked at them with their mouth open.

The Emperor never behaved like this.

Seeing Ji Cheng helping her, Xiao Li\'s face darkened.

Her expression became uglier when after helping her, he sat beside her.

He forgot about Xiao Li.

When he was helping Zhao Ming, she has thought, that he might also help her.

But he ignored her?

All the Consorts were jealous of Zhao Ming right now and some were feeling pity for Xiao Li.

Because he forgot about Xiao Li.

Especially Wen Xu was worried about her.

Then Xiao Li heard Ji Cheng\'s voice, " Xiao Li, here. You also take your seat." he patted the seat beside him as he gestured her to come and sit.

Xiao Li stared at him but Wen Xu patted her arm, to go and sit. She looked at Wen Xu and met her assuring eyes.

She smiled and unwillingly went to sit beside him.

While going there, she eyed Zhao Ming and saw her not interested kind of expression which elevated her temper.

Zhao Ming looked at Xiao Li who was moving towards them with a heavy heart and gave her a mocking smile.

\' Hah. It\'s been only a few minutes and this girl is already going crazy. Don\'t know what will happen later.\' she shrugged her shoulders as she thought about this.
