Chapter 407 - Then Get Married Soon.
Ji Cheng was unconsciously rubbing her tender lips and was tempted to kiss her right there.
" Ahem." Zhao Ming coughed lightly to remind Ji Cheng to remove his hand from her lips because he keeps rubbing her lips.
Ji Cheng who was in stupor was woken up by her cough and hurriedly took his hand back when he realized what he was doing.
Lu shi giggled lightly seeing the romantic exchange between Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng.
Feng Ju looked at her smiling and felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
\' This girl… She looks cute while smiling.\' he wondered in his heart as he glanced at Lu shi.
" Be careful while eating " Ji Cheng reminded Zhao Ming to eat carefully since it\'s hot without looking at her.
He was feeling awkward at his actions because they were in public and he forgot to maintain his composure in public.
Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly and held her head down. She felt embarrassed even looking into his eyes.
Ji Cheng also picked up a piece of stinky tofu cautiously because he has never eaten this kind of food before.
In the palace, he has never eaten this dish before and was hesitant to try this dish.
But when he ate the stinky tofu, his eyes widened in surprise. Despite its smell, it tasted delicious. No cuisine in the palace can match with this stinky tofu.
Zhao Ming smiled seeing Ji Cheng\'s expressions and felt content from his reaction.
After exploring the market and buying many items from the local stalls, Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng returned to the Royal Brush pavilion.
Wen Ru was waiting for them as he had prepared everything to go back to the palace.
" Why did you guys come so late? Didn\'t you know that we have to leave for the palace?" Wen Ru asked Zhao Ming when they came back.
Zhao Ming who was drinking the tea served by the maid looked at him and was about to say something when Ji Cheng interrupted her.
" Do you have any problem with that? " Ji Cheng glared at him as he said that.
Wen Ru was speechless when he saw Ji Cheng glaring at him with a straight face.
He took a deep breath as he felt his blood pressure rising.
" How can I have any problem? I was just worried that if we got any more late, then we won\'t be able to leave today." he spoke while gritting his teeth.
Their one day trip became a two days trip and if they didn\'t leave today, then it will become a three days trip.
Ji Cheng\'s lips curled up seeing Wen Ru\'s behavior.
" By the way, what do you mean by, \' We\'? Are you coming with us to the palace?" Ji Cheng asked when he remembered his words.
Wen Ru looked at him and nodded, " Obviously. I was originally planning to stay at the Palace for a few days before going back to Wen Palace. I haven\'t met Empress Dowager yet either. So I will go back with you to the palace." Wen Ru explained as he passed fruits to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming took the fruits and ate them happily. She was not bothered with their conversation and continued to eat.
He didn\'t get to spend much time at the palace, when they suddenly planned this trip. Since, he hasn\'t met his aunt yet, so he wanted to spend more days at the palace before going to the Wen Palace.
Ji Palace is like his second house where he used to spend most of his time. He spends most of his time at Ji Palace rather than his own Palace.
Ji Cheng sighed and shook his head. He has to bear this guy for more days.
Zhao Ming was pleased as Wen Ru was coming back to the Palace with them. It will be boring if he won\'t be there.
….
After eating some snacks, they changed their clothes and prepared to leave for the palace.
Outside the Royal Brush pavilion, the Royal carriage was standing there for Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng.
While Wen Ru and Feng Ju have their horses ready. Lu shi will sit on Feng Ju\'s horse like before.
" Your highness, shouldn\'t you come with us on horse as well? It\'s not good for you to go on a carriage." Wen Ru chuckled as he asked Ji Cheng to ride a horse as well.
He doesn\'t like that Ji Cheng will be going in a carriage comfortably whereas he has to ride this horse under this scorching heat.
So he tried to provoke Ji Cheng to ride the horse.
" I am accompanying my wife in the carriage. If you wanted to get in the carriage, then get married soon." JI Cheng made fun of him before getting on the carriage.
There is a tradition in the Ji Dynasty that men cannot ride a carriage if they are unmarried. Unmarried men can only ride horses.
It was only after the marriage that they were allowed to use carriages. It\'s because of a belief that carriage is for women only.
So that\'s why they can only ride it after getting married and that too with their wives. They can\'t get on the carriage unless they are married.
Zhao Ming who was already sitting on the carriage and was puzzled when she heard his words.
She didn\'t know about this kind of tradition.
When Ji Cheng got on the carriage, she looked at him in confusion and asked, " You highness, why did you not allow Brother Wen Ru to get on the carriage? And what has marriage to do with this?"
She was perplexed because she has no idea that there is such tradition as well.
Ji Cheng looked at her and remembered that she doesn\'t have her memories so she must not have remembered it as well. He explained everything to her calmly.
Zhao Ming was speechless when she heard his words.
She couldn\'t believe that there is such tradition as well. She sighed as she felt that the society was not only unfair to women but men also.
Because men cannot ride the carriages even if it was extremely hot or cold because of the concept of masculinity unless they are married.
