Chapter 445 - Why Orchid Pavilion?

Chapter 445 - Why Orchid Pavilion?

" Okay. I will change here then." Zhao Ming shrugged her shoulders as she looked at Ji Cheng with a smile.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips to control his smile. He thought that she would not agree to it but she actually agreed to it?

" What are you doing? " his smile disappeared when he saw her picking his belt which was used to tie his.

He couldn't understand why she was picking up his robe belt.

" Shh. Didn't you say to change my clothes here? So I am covering your eyes. You weren't thinking that I will change in front of you and let you enjoy your view, right?" she grinned as she walked to him with his belt in her hand.

Ji Cheng frowned because he really didn't think about this possibility. Now he understood why she agreed so easily to change in front of him.

He gritted his teeth but before he could say anything, Zhao Ming wrapped his belt which was made of silk on his eyes.

Zhao Ming smiled after blindfolding him.

" Zhao Ming, it's not right. How can you blindfold me like this?" Ji Cheng felt wronged but Zhao Ming didn't say anything, instead she started humming as she loosened her robe.

He gritted his teeth as he couldn't see anything despite being in the same room.

Zhao Ming hurriedly changed into the night dress and nodded in acknowledgement because the dress was comfortable and she looked good in this as well.

Then she walked to Ji Cheng and removed the blindfold from his eyes.

" Thanks for cooperating."

Ji Cheng was surprised when he saw her in silk dress which was hung on her body loosely making her look more appealing and attractive.

He stared at her without blinking his eyes. He has never seen her looking like this before.

Zhao Ming cleared her throat as she was feeling uncomfortable under his constant gaze.

" I think we should sleep now." she ignored his gaze and went to the bed.

Ji Cheng stared at her in daze and how she went to bed ignoring his existence.

….

The next day, Zhao Ming woke up when she felt someone touching her face.

Her eyes fluttered as she looked at the person in front of her in daze.

" Oh. Did I wake you up?" Ji Cheng asked when he realized that she woke up.

He was trying to remove her hair from her face but she woke up while he was trying to do so.

Zhao Ming was surprised when he saw her looking at her in a startle but then he composed himself and acted like nothing happened.

Zhao Ming didn't say anything, realizing what he was trying to do earlier. She sat up lazily and found him all dressed up.

He was dressed up in a yellow colored royal robe which was beautifully embroidered. He looked quite different today.

" You're going somewhere?" she asked realizing that he was formally dressed. His outfit was similar to the outfit that he wore on the Banquet.

It's very formal and he looked extremely attractive in that outfit.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, " Since you don't remember anything, then I will tell you. Today is the last day of the month and on every last day of the month, we held a meeting in the main Palace where all the ministers show their monthly reports about their respective districts."

He briefly told her about why he dressed up like this. Since today is the last day of the month, everyone will present their monthly reports and will discuss their policies and their results. .

Zhao Ming nodded in seriousness and mumbled." Oh. "

" Is that so? Okay. You should go then." she said with a light smile.

Ji Cheng looked at her and thought about something.

" Zhao Ming, I forgot to tell you yesterday. But since you don't remember anything, I think I should remind you. Just like I have a meeting on the last day of every month, similarly you also have a meeting with other consorts to check the working of the harem. "

.

Yesterday, he forgot to tell her because they had an argument with Wen Xu and Xiao Li after coming back to the palace and didn't get time to talk about other things.

They were occupied with other things, that he forgot that today she also has a meeting to discuss the workings of the harem.

" In your absence, Mother was heading those meetings. But since I gave you the powers, I think you should go to the meeting herself. " Ji Cheng told her hesitantly.

He doesn't want her to bother with the palace work yet, but if she doesn't attend the meeting then people will think that she is incapable of the title of Empress.

Zhao Ming was stunned when she heard his words. She wasn't expecting this at all.

She has no idea about the rules of the palace, so how will she be able to attend the meeting and solve their issues?

Ji Cheng pursed his lips seeing her worried expression.

" If you're not comfortable, then you don't need to go. I will ask Consort Xiao Li to head this month's meeting since you're not feeling well. She will report to you everything later personally." Ji Cheng said, trying to make her feel at ease.

He knows that she doesn't remember everything and it will be really difficult for her to attend this meeting, that's why he suggested this solution.

When Zhao Ming heard that he would ask Xiao Li to head the meeting, she hurriedly said," No. I will go. You don't need to make special arrangements for me. Don't worry. I can manage it. " she said as she hurriedly stood up from the bed.

" Are you sure? I know you're not well and don't have your memories at this moment. You can take a break for some time from the Royal duties. You should relax and focus on your recuperation."

.? Zhao Ming shook her head and said, " I am fine now. Though I don't have my memories, I will manage it. You don't need to worry about it. "

Ji Cheng nodded. He didn't press her further because he knows that if she is saying that she will manage, then she will manage.

By now, he has understood that after waking up from a coma she has changed a lot. And it's not easy to bully her anymore.

" Then you should get ready and head to the orchid pavilion for the meeting."

" Why orchid pavilion?" Zhao Ming frowned because in the orchid pavilion was Wen Xu's chamber.

She doesn't want to hold the meeting there.

Ji Cheng turned to her and replied," Ah, before you Mother used to manage the harem, so the meeting always took place there. After our marriage, you were supposed to manage the harem, but you never changed the venue of the meeting. So it's been held there since the start."

Ji Cheng only knows that Zhao Ming never complained about it but he doesn't know that Wen Xu never gave her a choice to shift the venue.

She always uses her mother in law approach to make Zhao Ming follow her words.

That's why every month, a meeting was being held at the orchid pavilion.

Zhao Ming frowned hearing his words. Though she doesn't know why Zhao Ming never changed the meeting venue in the past, she was sure that it must be because of Wen Xu or Xiao Li.
