" Miss, why are you walking so slowly? We are already so late. We should hurry up." Lu shi was getting anxious every minute because Zhao Ming not only took her time in getting ready but she ate the snacks that she had prepared for her..
Since Wen Xu has asked for her presence in her chamber, Zhao Ming could have skipped her snack and could go to the orchid pavilion first.
(Orchid pavilion is designated for Wen Xu's chamber. )
But she didn't bother about anything and ate those snacks without hurrying. 𝑓𝓇ℯ𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷oѵe𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
" Lu shi, why do you get scared easily? It's not that Empress Dowager will eat me if I am a little late?" Zhao Ming said while walking towards the orchid pavilion.
Lu shi sighed helplessly seeing her stubborn behavior.
When Zhao Ming and Lu shi reached the pavilion, the maid bowed in front of Zhao Ming and went to announce her arrival to Wen Xu.
Zhao Ming didn't wait for anything and walked inside the pavilion. She was looking around as she walked towards Wen Xu's chamber.
The garden in the orchid pavilion was well maintained and full of flower beds on the side.
She was startled to see that Wen Xu has her own palace which not only has her chamber but study room, music room and other activities room as well.
It's her first time coming to this pavilion. When she entered Wen Xu's Palace Wing, she was in awe noticing that everything was more extravagant and luxurious than hers.
Wen Xu sure likes to live in luxury.
She could see expensive figurines made of gold everywhere. Not only that, the whole place was decorated with flowers and beautiful curtains.
" Miss, don't be nervous. And if anything happens you can tell His highness later. I am sure he will side with you." Lu shi was nervous because she was worried that Wen Xu would try to bully her in the absence of Ji Cheng.
She knows that Wen Xu has asked Ji Cheng to come to the orchid pavilion as well. That's why she was more worried about her Miss because he hasn't arrived yet.
-_-
.
Zhao Ming was speechless when she saw Lu shi overreacting again. Though she knows that she was worried about her, does she really think that Wen Xu and Xiao Li could do anything to her?
She sighed and said, " Don't worry. I will be fine. So you also relax and go. You don't need to come in."
" But Miss..."
" I said, Go." Zhao Ming asked her to go because she wanted to deal with them herself.
Lu shi reluctantly went outside and waited for her.
.....
Inside the chamber, Xiao Li and Wen Xu were already informed about Zhao Ming's arrival.
But they were getting impatient since Zhao Ming still hadn't come in when her arrival had already been announced.
" Creak."
.
Wen Xu and Xiao Li turned to look towards the door of the chamber, and saw the door opening slightly while Zhao Ming made her way in.
Wen Xu was so annoyed that Zhao Ming made her wait for her so long.
When Zhao Ming entered the room, she stood in the middle of the room and looked at Wen Xu.
" Greetings to Empress Dowager." Zhao Ming greeted her Wen Xu first thing when she entered the room.
" What the hell do you think you are? Why did you come so late when you knew that I asked you to come here?" Wen Xu yelled at Zhao Ming with her eyes widened in anger.
She was feeling more annoyed seeing how beautiful Zhao Ming was looking. It shows that she didn't bother to hurry up and took her time getting ready.
Xiao Li pursed her lips as she tried to hide her smile and worriedly said, " Mother, please calm down. Sister Zhao must be getting ready, that's why she was late. You should not scold her when she is looking so pretty."
Zhao Ming raised her brows hearing Xiao Li's words.
Zhao Ming cannot understand her logic at all. She is pretty, that's why Wen Xu should not scold her? If she was looking ugly, then would she have the right to scold her?
" Xiao Li, why are you speaking up for her? You don't need to be so good to such grateful bi*ch. Can't you see how arrogant she looks right now?" Wen Xu glared at Zhao Ming while patting Xiao Li's hand.
" Empress Dowager, you called me for something? " Zhao Ming was tired so she didn't bother with her words and asked why she called her.
She was not interested in keeping this conversation going on.
Wen Xu's face turned red from embarrassment when she heard Zhao Ming's words. Her direct words were clearly cutting her off.
" Hah. Very good. So you wanted to know why I called you right? I will tell you." Wen Xu became serious as she looked at Zhao Ming furiously.
" When Ji Cheng comes in a while, tell him that you cannot manage the harem and give your powers to Xiao Li. You can't manage everything yourself anyway " Wen Xu's tone was authoritative while she spoke her mind.
" Xiao Li is better than you and since she came from the Royal family, she knows how to manage these things better than you."
She wanted Zhao Ming to hand over everything to Xiao Li. That's why she used another tactic rather than teaching her a lesson.
" If you ask Ji Cheng to transfer all your powers to Xiao Li, I won't be angry with you anymore. You can live in your chamber like usual. But you should not attend any public banquets and events in the future."
" If you keep these things in mind, I will not say anything to you. I know that you don't have your memories, that's why you have gone astray. But if you follow my words, then I will forgive you for all your mistakes." Wen Xu's tone was firm while she said all this.
Originally she was planning to question Ji Cheng and teach Zhao Ming a lesson but when she was chatting with Xiao Li, she told her that it will be futile to scold them.
Xiao Li told her to be careful and meticulous while talking to Zhao Ming. Since Zhao Ming is an emotional fool, if she asked Zhao Ming to give all powers to Xiao Li in exchange for her forgiveness, then she might even do that.
And if Zhao Ming herself rejects taking the powers then Ji Cheng would not have any other choice but to give her the powers.
Zhao Ming dumbfounded when she heard Wen Xu's words. She never thought that she will get to hear such stupid things when she comes here.
' Is this Wen Xu out of her mind? Would I give her my powers to her just because she has asked me? Did she really think I am so stupid?'
Zhao Ming stood there in daze as she had no idea what gave Wen Xu this idea that she would give her powers to Xiao Li if she asked her to do so?
" Empress Dowager, you know that I respect you so much, right?" Zhao Ming said politely as she looked at Wen Xu.
Wen Xu's expressions turned calm when she heard Zhao Ming's question. She thought that she would agree to her request and give her powers to Xiao Li.
Her smile widened as she thought how naive Zhao Ming was.
Wen Xu nodded as she looked at Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming smiled seeing her response and said, " Empress Dowager, I apologise but I don't think I can do as you wished."
