Zhao Ming walked to Ji Cheng and said, " Are you doing this because of me?"

" I am doing this for my Empress. How can I let anyone insult my wife? Didn't I tell you that from now on, your Emperor will deal with everyone personally, who will try to mess with you?"

Zhao Ming stared at him and chuckled," You really know how to talk sweet. " she pulled a chair and sat opposite of him.

Ji Cheng smiled seeing her behaving casually with him. He found her transition from Your Majesty to Ji Cheng very cute.

She changes the way to address him from time to time. However, in whatever way she calls him, it always feels good.

" Zhao Ming."

Zhao Ming looked at him when he called out her name.

" Hmm?" she was puzzled when he looked at her seriously.

" Will you move to the palace with me?" Ji Cheng asked without blinking his eyes. He stared at her in anticipation. He wanted to hear only ' Yes' in response.

Zhao Ming blinked her eyes in confusion.

.

' Move into the palace? Weren't they in the palace all along?'

She couldn't comprehend the meaning behind his words.

" You don't want to?" he asked, disappointedly seeing her expressions.

" It's not that.." she hurriedly waved her hands in denial.

" I just.. couldn't understand what you mean. Aren't we living in the palace all along?" she asked in a low voice cautiously.

Ji Cheng was speechless when he heard her words. He was worried that she might reject him but in reality she didn't understand his meaning at all.

He let out a chuckle in relief and said," I mean, will you come to live with me at the palace, in my chamber?"

He wanted her to move into his chamber at the palace because this way they can be together all the time.

Originally, she was supposed to stay here with him since they got married because only the Emperor and Empress can stay in the palace.

But Wen Xu at that time insisted on letting Zhao Ming stay at the lotus pavilion since Ji Cheng stays out of the palace most of the time.

However, now he wanted her to stay with him at the palace, in his chamber.

His chamber is more big and luxurious than any other chambers. Even the chamber of Empress Dowager is not as great as his. He wanted to provide her with all the luxuries that she was deprived of yet.

He wanted her to officially move into the palace as the Empress.

Empress living in the Palace has more respect than the one, living outside the palace.

....

Zhao Ming stared at Ji Cheng in confusion. She was not sure if she should move to the palace or not.

While staying at lotus pavilion, she can force him to get out and ask him to go back, but once she decides to stay at the palace, she has to stay with him all the time.

Ji Cheng raised his brows in anticipation as he saw her serious expressions. She was thinking about something but he can't figure out what she was thinking.

' I read about this in one of the books earlier. Didn't it say that the Empress not living in the palace is no better than any other Consort? Does it mean, if I want everyone to realize my worth, I have to move to the Palace?'

Zhao Ming pondered as she tried to remember all the rules and regulations.

" So?" Ji Cheng asked hesitantly.

" Okay."

" You're okay with it? Really?" Ji Cheng's face lit up hearing her response.

He was afraid that she might reject his request since they recently cleared up their issues.

" But I have a condition."

His expressions turned solemn hearing her words.

" What condition?" he turned serious as he was hoping that it won't be the one he was expecting.

He was worried that she asked the condition about not being physical.

" You will not force me to wake up early. While living at the lotus Palace, I have my own schedule, so I will just do things according to me. Just because I am staying at the palace, you won't force me to wake up early."

" I don't like to wake up early."

Ji Cheng: "-_-"

Ji Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard her request. This was her request?

" Hah. Of course, you can wake up anytime you want. No one will disturb your sleep. " he hurriedly agreed to her words.

" I want Lu shi to follow me to the palace as well. I won't agree if you don't let Lu Shi follow me."

" Of course, she can come with you. I am not planning to remove her either. "

Zhao Ming nodded seeing the way Ji Cheng agreed to her words instantly.

He didn't even hesitate for a moment before agreeing to her requests.

" You won't let anyone else stay at the lotus pavilion in my absence. If I want to go there to stay, you won't force me. "

Ji Cheng pursed his lips as he thought about it. He agreed with the part not letting anyone else stay at lotus pavilion, but he was hesitant about the next part.

He sighed and said," Okay. Anything else? "

" No. It's fine. I will move into the palace chamber in a few days."

" Why a few days?" Ji Cheng leaned in and asked eagerly.

He was glad that she didn't have any condition about the skinship.

" Because I have so many things to shift if I want to stay there. I just can't possibly come without my things. "

JI Cheng pursed his lips and said," You don't need to worry about that thing. I will make Feng Ju and Lu shi to shift your things to the palace chamber.

" Now let's go. I'll show you my chamber. You must be tired right? You should eat lunch and then take a nap. I will accompany you to sleep." he hurriedly stood up and held her hand pulling her up.

Zhao Ming was stunned seeing his eagerness. A while ago he was pretending to be cool and reserved and now suddenly he changed drastically.

" It's fine. There is no hu..rry" Ji Cheng didn't hear her words and pulled her with him, to show his chamber to her.

Zhao Ming chuckled seeing the way he was so eager to show her his chamber.

It will be the first time that she will see his chamber after she came into this world. It feels strangely good.
