Lu shi was busy pacing back and forth when she heard a voice from behind. She turned around to look and was froze on the spot. Her body stiffened.

It was the Emperor.

She was already thinking about when will Zhao Ming get ready and banquet has also started. Before she can check on Zhao Ming, the Emperor arrived.

She looked at Ji Cheng and her whole body shivered.

Zhao Ming wasn't ready yet and he arrived. She was worried that he will yell at Zhao Ming for being late and may even leave her behind.

And if that happens, then Zhao Ming will be humiliated by others.?Thinking about this possibility, Lu shi got worried.

...

Ji Cheng looked at scared Lu shi in front of him and raised his eyebrows at her. Then he said, " Where's she?"

As he said that, he climbed the small steps towards the Chamber and stood in front of Lu shi.

Seeing the intimidating look of Ji Cheng from close, Lu shi felt a shiver down from her spine.

She immediately bowed and said, " Greetings to his Majesty." she was scared and was controlling herself to shiver in fear.

Feng Ju who was standing behind Ji Cheng, almost chuckled out loud, seeing her behavior.

Ji Cheng ignored Lu shi's greetings and asked" Isn't she ready yet?" he said with a blank face.

At this question of his, Lu shi who was still in bowing position shivered, when she heard his cold and aloof voice.

She doesn't know how to explain this to him. She tried to say something, while stuttering" Your hi... Highness, Miss... Should be rea.. " she didn't even complete her words when the door of Zhao Ming's door flew open.

Everyone turned to look towards the door, which flew opened with a" BANG".

When Ji Cheng saw Zhao Ming who standing on the other side of the door, his mouth was kept open.

He looked at her in a daze. The only thought that he has in his mind was, ' She's... Beautiful '.

Everything was gotten blank when he saw her dressed up. Right now, he even forgot about the Banquet.

Lu shi who was still in the bowing position, her mouth and eyes were wide open. She knows that her Miss is beautiful but.. today she looking not only the Empress but a Fairy.

She was beautiful.

...

The real Zhao Ming doesn't get much dress up before. She used to keep it simple. She believes that simplicity is best.

And that's why she never put much effort into getting ready and doing something special.

That's why, now when she dresses up, she looked more beautiful than others.

As Zhao Ming believes in simplicity, Xie Ming has some other thoughts of it.

She believes that makeup gives women an unspeakable confidence and enhances her beauty.?Though it's not necessary to put makeup but there is nothing wrong with it either.

She likes to get dressed up. Not for others but for herself. She believes that one should pamper herself.

Women usually tend to forget themselves for their families, just like Zhao Ming. But she was not Zhao Ming, she will pamper herself, give herself priority than anything else.

....

All the guards out there, even Feng Ju was struggling to keep their faces straight.

The dress that Zhao Ming was wearing was tightened around her waist due to the beautiful ribbon. It enhanced her curves.?And the color that she chose and designed it with silver and golden thread, make her look royal and elegant.

Her make up was new in this world. Before her, nobody dresses up in this world like her. As the cosmetic she made were not invented yet so she was the first one to wear lipstick and eyeliner.

The bun that the lady here make was a sophisticated tight bun, which covers every single hair.

But the hairstyle she was wearing was a messy bun making her look stylish and beautiful. But it's not up to the discipline of the Palace.

But she doesn't care.

..

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming, suddenly the slow wind started flowing in the air, everything became so slow for him. Even the cherry blossoms flower started pouring from trees making the scene more romantic.

His eyes were on her, he was looking at her in a daze without blinking his eyes.

When cherry blossoms were pouring and the slow wind started flowing, the lips of Zhao Ming slightly twitched.

Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng who kept staring at her nonstop. Though she knows that she is beautiful and deserves all the attention.

But his stare made her slightly uncomfortable. So she tried to cough to pull him out of his trance.

And it did.

When she coughed slightly, he suddenly remembered that he was the Emperor and they were outside.

He suddenly looked at Zhao Ming and said, " Do you feel cold here? Are you sick? Let me call the imperial doctor for you." he suddenly started pouring questions on her.

Zhao Ming looked at him in disbelief.

' Cold? Who the hell feels cold in summer? Don't these people know about the season?'

' But even if he doesn't have much information but at least he could feel cold or hot. So how stupid it was him to ask this.' she snickered inwardly.

She hurriedly said, " Oh no no your highness. I am not cold at all. Thanks for your concern." she showed a fake curtesy as Lu shi taught her.

She looked at Lu shi and smiled gleefully like asking for a compliment that she did well.

Lu shi looked at the Zhao Ming's childish behavior and could not help but smile awkwardly.

But Lu shi was nervous as Zhao Ming forgot to greet him first. It was the basic curtsey to greet the Emperor but she forgot that step. Now she could only hope that Ji Cheng won't notice this.

She slightly sighed.
