After Zhao Ming left to take a bath, Ji Cheng read his documents for a while and after that went to his chamber to get ready as well.

Now he wants to take a bath with cold water as well. He tried to focus on his documents but he couldn't do so.

He keeps remembering how beautiful she looks with her face scarlet red with embarrassment. Also, his heart beating becomes fast when he remembered how smooth her skin was when his lips brush by her nape.

As he left her chamber, he saw Lu shi who was coming back from the kitchen. Seeing him Lu shi bowed in front of him in greeting.

Ji Cheng looked at her and said, " I am going to my Chamber to get ready. Tell Zhao Ming later that I will come to pick her up for the feast. Also, I will send you the jewelry for Zhao Ming to wear at today's feast. Don't forget to give her." He instructed her as he left with his long strides.

Lu shi stared at him with her mouth open. Now the Emperor is giving her direct tasks as well. With Zhao Ming's relationship getting better with Ji Cheng, she was also getting tasks from the Emperor and this will make her feel superior in front of other servants as well.

Lu Shi bowed happily seeing Ji Cheng walking away.

...

When Zhao Ming was done taking a bath, she changed into her clothes for the night which was a yellow-colored gown and an orange-colored robe over it.

The color combination was her liking and she has matched this pair by using different pieces.

Originally, there was a bright and glittery dark yellow color robe over this gown but she used orange-colored robe from the other dress because it looked more beautiful with it.

The orange-colored robe was simple and elegant while the inner gown has some handmade embroidery and also expensive beads on the dress making it look royal.

After coming out of the bathroom, she went to her chamber and found the door half-open.

She stopped before the chamber and was hesitating to go inside. Her face was getting red just at the thought that Ji Cheng would be there.

She felt her whole body burning up when she remembered his shameless words. She took a deep breath and placed her cold hands over her burning face to calm down her nerves.

She can't forget what happened between them before she went to the bathroom. His shameless words were ringing in her ears making her feel weak in legs.

She finally gathered her courage and decided to go inside the chamber.

When she entered her chamber, she found no one in the room. Her expressions fell seeing no one in the room.

Just as she was wondering where Ji Cheng went, she heard a cheery voice behind her.

She turned around and found Lu Shi standing there with a tray in her hand.

" Miss, his highness has gone to his Chamber to get ready." Lu shi said with a bright smile on her face.

She was so happy that her Miss was getting along well with His highness.

She was so glad to see how Ji Cheng was treating her Miss and he also gave her the powers that she deserves. Before when she didn't have any powers, everyone looked down on them.

Now no one will dare to look down on her Miss. Also, she can live in the palace with her head held high as well.

When Zhao Ming heard Lu shi's words, her expressions fell. She pursed her lips and felt a little disappointed.

She was expecting to see him here waiting for her but he went to his room.

'It's not that I am missing him or dying to see him, but how can he leave just like that?'

She bit her lower lip as a frown appeared on her face.

" Did I say anything? Why are you speaking nonsense when I didn't ask you?" Zhao Ming pouted as she pretended to be not interested.

Seeing the disappointment on Zhao Ming's face, Lu shi smiled brightly. Even if she tried to hide her interest, she could feel the disappointed look in her eyes.

" Miss, Master has asked me to relay his message. He said that after getting ready, he will come to take you with him to the feast. He asked you to wait for him." she said with a smile on her face.

Ji Cheng picking up Zhao Ming himself is a big deal. This is not a public event and only Xiao Li and Wen Ru will be there other than Zhao Ming and Ji Cheng.

However, despite only a few people attending, Ji Cheng is coming to pick her up.

This means that he is giving her face and it will also show others that Zhao Ming is not an unwanted Empress.

'His Highness loves her Miss, that's why he is treating Zhao Ming this way. ' Lu shi smiled seeing Zhao Ming happy. She was glad that her Miss has finally got her happiness.

The relationship between her and Ji Cheng is improving.

....

A smile plastered on Zhao Ming's face hearing Lu shi's words.

' Tsk. At least he has some manners.' she smiled subtly when she heard Lu shi's words.

Her lips involuntarily curled upwards in a smile.

Zhao Ming tried to control her smile and changed the topic by raising her eyes at the tray in Lu shi's hand.

" What is this? I didn't ask you to bring anything." she was confused about what could be in the tray.

She didn't ask her to bring anything but here she is carrying a large tray which was covered with a red silk cloth.

Lu shi looked at her and smiled, " This? This is the jewelry sent by his highness for you. He said that these will look good with your dress".

Zhao Ming raised her brows in surprise.

' How did he know that I am wearing this dress today?' she wondered as she looked at the tray in Lu shi's hand.

Then she remembered that she had picked her clothes in front of him before going to the bathroom.

So he must have seen her dress at that time. But he prepared jewelry for her in such a short time?

Zhao Ming removed the cloth from the tray and found beautiful gold-colored jewelry which was adorned by other expensive stones as well. '

This jewelry was very delicate and beautiful. It will look good with her outfit as well.

She smiled and said, " Placed it on the mirror table. I will wear it later." she walked to her bed as she asked Lu shi to place the jewelry on her mirror table.

She walked towards her bed and found his documents placed over her bedside table.

.

She raised her brows and was amused that he left his documents. The documents look important and he just left in her room like this?

She looked at the documents and even though the language was quite complicated because of the difficult words that have been used in it.

But she can vaguely understand what was written in it. It seems like the financial report that his finance minister has submitted to him because there was the name of the minister on the bottom corner of the document.

She raised her brows because she found this interesting.

He left this important document in her room.

' Doesn't he fear that she might misuse these documents? Does he trust me that much?' she smiled as she looked at the documents.

But soon her smile turned into a frown when she remembered that it's not for her.

She is inside Zhao Ming's body and his trust is for Zhao Ming and not her.

She closed her eyes slightly and then shook her head.

She placed the documents neatly on the table and walked to her vanity table.

She brushed her long hair carefully and put her organic makeup on her face that she has specially made for herself.

After she was done, she turned around and saw Lu shi cleaning the room.

When Lu shi turned and saw that Zhao Ming was ready, her eyes widened in shock because she was looking so beautiful. She is just looking like an angel which has come to this world.

Her dress, jewelry and makeup that she applied on her face made her look more beautiful and delicate.

Even Xiao Li would fail in front of her.

In the past, everyone looked down at her because she tends to remain simple and does not like to put effort into getting ready. She prefers to remain simple and everyone treated Xiao Li like a goddess because she took care of her skin and health and tends to receive a massage every week.

Whereas, Zhao Ming was not interested in these things and tended to remain simple rather than doing anything extravagant.

But now, she was looking different from her past self and was looking much better than before.
