Ji Dynasty.
When Zhao Ming reached her chamber, she directly went to her bed and laid on it lazily. She was dead tired from all the drama.
Lu s.h.i.+ followed her and shook her head in frustration seeing the crude posture of Zhao Ming.
"Why Miss has changed so much after waking up. Does memory loss also makes one forget their manners?" She was worried that how would she will handle Zhao Ming"s character.
Zhao Ming was tired, her eyelids felt heavy, as she was going into her slumber she heard a voice of the eunuch, who announced the arrival of the Emperor. Hearing this, she opened her eyes irritatingly.
She wanted to rest but he came again. She got annoyed. She sat up as Lu s.h.i.+ opened the door.
When Ji Cheng entered her room, he saw a girl with an irritating expression on her face. Her lips were pouting making her look more alluring. Seeing her annoyed yet adorable face, he chuckled.
He gestured Lu s.h.i.+ to go out of the room. After Lu s.h.i.+ left the room, he went closer to her. Standing beside her bed, he looked at her with a gentle gaze. But Xie Ming looked up at him and spoke, " What are you doing here? Please make it quick."
Hearing this, he looked at her in surprise. Never in his whole life, he was chided like this. It was the first time he was being shooed away from a room, that too it was his wife.
There was a time where she always waits for him but now she was chasing him out. He sighed.
" I need to make some efforts to win her heart back. But this chase game is also interesting. It feels like I am also a normal man. I have been too engaged in palace politics, now I need to focus on my Empress."
Ignoring her annoyed look he asked, " Are you okay? You were quite worn out earlier." He asked with a worried expression.
She looked up at him and thought, " if you know that I was worn out then why the h.e.l.l are you here to disturb my sleep". she thought to herself.
She put a finger in her ear to clear the wax as she felt itchy and spoke while itching her ear, " Yeah. I was worn out. I was crazy that I mistook your Mo...I mean your mother like mine." she said nonchalantly. She almost used Mom. Because if she speaks in her original way then they will say that she is possessed as Zhao Ming don"t know English and the few people who know English are amba.s.sadors or another one is Ji Cheng.
He will figure out if she continued to speak in her way. She inwardly praised herself for being quick-witted.
When he heard her response, he looked down at her. Her face was red from crying earlier and it also looking exhausting and tired. But seeing her clearing her wax out of her ear, he chuckled.
He sat on the bed beside her. Seeing him sitting on her bed, Xie Ming created a distance between her and him but didn"t say anything.
Seeing her getting away from him, he felt disappointed but he calmed her emotions and spoke, " I am sorry for my Mother"s behavior. But don"t worry, from now on I won"t let anyone look down on you, even if that person is my Mother, I will always take your side from now on. I won"t let you get bullied anymore." he said righteously.
He said while looking at her, trying to figure out her thoughts. In the past, he never took her side. Though he never wanted to hurt her but he was just busy with his newly acquired throne and responsibilities, because of them, he didn"t have time to focus on his Empress.
When Zhao Ming heard his words, she looked at him and squinted her eyes.
She shrugged and said, " I am not worried at all. Because I am sure, from now on no one will be able to bully me. Instead, you should worry about them because now it their turns to get bullied." she said while looking straight, her eyes were sparkling and a devilish smile came to her lips.
Hearing her words, he was surprised and when he looked at her devilish smile, he stared at her astonis.h.i.+ngly. Though he was surprised by her changed att.i.tude but this also made him relaxed that now she can stand for herself.
He doesn"t mind her bullying others as he knows that she won"t bully the innocent. But he was interested to see how this newly transformed Zhao Ming will deal with others.
Immersed in his thoughts, he forgot to look away from her. When Zhao Ming felt, someone"s gaze on her, she turned to her size and her eyes met with his deep black eyes. His handsome face was s.h.i.+ning from the sunlight. He was looking more alluring and tempting.
Then her gaze fell on his pink lips which looked moist and delicious. " How could a man"s lips be so pink" she thought to herself but unknowingly she licked her lips.
Suddenly she had an urge to pounce on him. She instinctively moved towards him.
When she was staring at him, he felt embarra.s.sed but he also enjoyed that he was taking interest in him. He doesn"t mind if she liked his body. He would be happy to serve her.
When she bend towards him, he held the sides of the bed tightly, instinctively bending towards back. For some reason, he felt nervous under her gaze. She was staring at him like she was a wolf and he was her prey, ready to eat.
Their positions seemed to be flipped the opposite. The Emperor was under the Empress. She was from the 21st century, she doesn"t mind taking initiative. Instead, she loves to be on top, though she never got a chance to do so. (Author: "-__-")
They became closer and closer. As their faces were only a few inches away, she suddenly looked into his eyes. His eyes were filled with nervousness and pa.s.sion waiting for her to pounce on him and devour him whole.
They could feel each other"s breath which now abnormal. Their hearts were beating fast.
But she suddenly snapped out of her trance and their compromising position came into her sight. As they were on the bed and she bend towards him, she was almost laying on his strong muscled body. Her both were on his sided and his back was against the corner pillar of the bed.
She suddenly snapped back and sat straight leaving him in that same position. She hurriedly facepalm herself trying to dig a hole and hide in it. " How could she just attack him like he was her prey".
"AHh. So embarra.s.sing. How could she just get swayed by his handsome face." she thought to herself. As she was busy cursing herself for being so loose willed, he was looking at her confusingly.
He was turned on by her act but she just left him like that making him antic.i.p.ate for more.
He looked at her with his pitiful eyes but soon smoothen his expressions and sat up awkwardly. They didn"t look at each other, instead, they were both looking straight to avoid each other"s gaze.
But he was glancing at her in between. He has never seen any women in the palace to take initiative like this. "Generally women who behave like this, try to be innocent and shy but she was...a total seductress." thinking about this, his ears turned red.
He glanced at her and her whole face has become red from embarra.s.sment. He slightly chuckled.
