novelWho Will Defy My Order
| ← Ch.155 | Ch.157 → |
After exchanging bowls with Ji Cheng, Zhao Ming picked up her chopsticks and slurped the noodles.
When she ate the noodles, her expression froze. She put her hand on her mouth to cover her shocked expression while chewing the noodles.
Ji Cheng, who was watching her more than eating asked worriedly, " What happened? Are the noodles of not your taste?"
All the concubines looked towards Zhao Ming including Xiao Li and Wen Xu, because no one is allowed to speak while eating.
Food should be eaten quietly by chewing properly. And talking while eating will make you look ugly and uncultured as well.
They all followed these rules always, but now Zhao Ming was behaving like this.
Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng in daze and swallowed the noodles.
" This... This is amazing." She forgot in excitement that she was now Zhao Ming and spoke in English. As she stayed abroad for long, she was used to speaking English and Italian. And moreover, she knows other languages as well.
So it was quite hard for her to get adjusted to the culture and language here. The language is similar to S country but its dialect is different.
It's more difficult to learn. And she has to control herself to speak English as well.
Unaware of her words, she continued, " I never eat something like this. Wooww." she continued in English.
Everyone looked at her with confused gazes. They were looking at her like she was stupid.
Lu shi who was standing before her slapped her forehead in frustration.
In these few days, she has gotten used to her weird speech and actions, but for others, she is still tagged as stupid.
Ji Cheng looked at her and blinked at her in bewilderment. He gave her a reluctant smile and asked, " am... ama? Woow? What are these? Who are these? Are they people you know?" he asked her confusingly.
When she said these words, he could not understand what she was saying.
So he thought that these were some people's names, maybe they are foreigners. But how did Zhao Ming knows foreigners?
But before that, he needs to figure out who are these people? Because he never heard these names before.
Zhao Ming looked at him and suddenly an alarm bell rang in her mind.
She remembered that this was not any restaurant but its fu*king Ji Dynasty with stupid people who are treating her as stupid.
She looked at him then turned to look at others who were impatiently waiting for her to reply.
' Ah, I am doomed. Where am I? Why am I here? Why did I transmigrated to here only? I could also go to the future. There will be more advanced people but why here?'
She was crying in her mind.
For them, she was like an alien, who came from another world. She was not weird at her place but here she suddenly became so intelligent and sometimes weird.
So it's logical to say that for them she was an alien. But the reality is that she was from the same planet.
Leave planet, she was from the same country but the future one.
Ji Dynasty was situated around the 14th to 15th century. Though she was not any history student but her roommate was.
She has seen some of her books and remembered that there was some Ji Dynasty and thank god she remembered its time period.
Though she doesn't know anything about its history as she just looked at the book from outside.
But she still remembered the time period, so she figured out that there was a real Ji Dynasty in history otherwise she would have thought that she transmigrated to some comic or novel world.
Because before getting into an accident, that was the only novel she had read where the female lead went into the comic world.
....
When Zhao Ming saw everyone's gazes she sighed.
' I am not even allowed to get excited anymore. '
She awkwardly looked at Ji Cheng and said, ' Ahm, your highness. They are not any people, I was just saying that the noodles were amazing. It's really good." she said while laughing lightly.
Everyone gave her weird looks, she straightened her back.
Ji Cheng asked, " Then what words were you saying? I couldn't understand what you said."
Zhao Ming looked at him and thought, ' Did English people arrived here by this time or not? Do they know that there is the English language in this world as well? If I tell them, they would not chop my head. Would they?'
She was having a battle in her mind.
Then she looked at him and said, " Ahm.. I was just so happy and speaking nonsense. It's nothing. It's just noodles were so tasty that I was speaking nonsense." she tried to explain hurriedly.
She decided not to say anything.
She smiled awkwardly and waiting for his response. ' Did he believe it?'
" Did you liked the noodles that much? "
She nodded frantically.
Everyone was staring at her uncultured behavior.
Ji Cheng looked at the head eunuch and said, " From now on tell the kitchen to make these noodles for Empress daily. And make whatever she wants to eat."
Zhao Ming looked at him and smiled awkwardly.
' Ah. So he really believed it. Ha.. Ha.. Ha. ' she laughed inwardly.
Before she could say anything to Ji Cheng, Wen Xu spoke, " Ji Cheng what are you doing? The cook who has made these dishes were especially for you, the Emperor and me, the Empress Dowager."
" Even Xiao Li never eats anything made by him especially for her. So why does this wen.. girl is getting this privilege?" she was fuming in anger with his behavior.
She was going to say wench but stopped because everyone was staring at them. She can't ruin her image as a goddess mother.
The cook who made these noodles was the special chef of the Emperor and Empress Dowager.
The recipe of noodles were of her own. That's why no one else can make these noodles except her.
No one can order her around the way they want. Even Xiao Li can't afford to offend her. The head cook has also served the late Emperor, Ji Cheng's grandfather as well.
So everyone respected her. Even Wen Xu can't speak improperly in front of her.
Because the late Emperor has treated her like his sister.
She was the eldest cook in the kitchen. She trained other cooks who serve the other members of the Royal family.
Qian Dan always serves the Emperor. And after the late Emperor's death, she started serving Ji Cheng as well.
She doesn't want to serve Wen Xu before but she made a fuss out of it so she didn't have any choice but to serve her reluctantly.
Hearing Wen Xu's words, Ji Cheng's face darkened.
He spoke in a cold voice, " She is not just any girl. She is my *wife* and the *Empress* of the Ji Dynasty." he emphasized the word wife and Empress.
" Technically speaking, she has every right to use this cook more than Xiao Li. But before you did not allow the head cook to serve her. But now I will see, who will defy my order." he said while staring at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li shrank back in her seat.
By now Ji Cheng has some idea that Xiao Li is not as simple as she looks. He knows his mother, she is petty and narrow-minded.
But she doesn't have much mind to point every single thing of Ji Cheng. He saw how Xiao Li was behaving in front of Wen Xu.
Wen Xu was angered to death hearing his words.
While Ji Cheng and Wen Xu were staring at each other, their focus was broken by a noise.
" Sshh."
They looked at towards the voice, everyone followed their gaze and was stunned seeing from where the noise came.
