Ji Dynasty.
After Ji Cheng left, Xie Ming slept through the whole afternoon, and she woke up in the evening.
When she woke up, she stretched her body and looked around. The sun has set and it was dark outside but surprisingly the room was bright with light.
There is no electricity here, but they have lightened the chamber with lanterns and candles. And it looked really beautiful.
She looked at the room in a daze. It still felt so unreal. She can"t believe that she came to this world.
"Sigh".
At that time, the door of the Chamber opened and Lu s.h.i.+ came in with two other girls following her. Their hands were full of stuff and she tried to see what it is but can"t guess.
She stood up from the bed and went towards Lu s.h.i.+ and asked " What is this? And who are they? " she asked pointing towards the girls behind Lu s.h.i.+.
The two girls were wearing plain old clothes and their hair was fixed into a bun.
Lu s.h.i.+ looked at Zhao Ming and said, " Miss, these are the maids that His highness has appointed to serve you. And these are the clothes and accessories for tomorrow"s banquet that he has sent " she said while showing the flashy clothes and heavy pieces of jewelry to Zhao Ming.
For Zhao Ming or say, Xie Ming, these are old and antiques. But antique jewelry has its charm.
In modern times, people are fascinated by these royal antique pieces and are buying them in auctions in large sums.
Zhao Ming looked at the pieces of jewelry with a glint of amus.e.m.e.nt in her eyes.
She picked up a jade bracelet and stroke it with her hands gently, and exclaimed, " It"s beautiful " .
Lu s.h.i.+ looked at Zhao Ming and smiled seeing her reaction. She was happy that his highness was giving attention to her Miss.
The love that Zhao Ming always wanted, now she was getting it. Lu s.h.i.+ heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ming admired the beauty of jewelry and clothes. They were royal and exquisite.
When she picked up the robe, it was decorated with golden and silver thread giving it a royal look.
It is also decorated with some expensive beads and pearls. She looked at the clothes in awe.
The extravagance of these clothes cannot be compared with the clothes she used to wear in modern times.
If the trend in the 21st century is to keep it low but cla.s.sy then the trend here is loud and flashy.
Everything is in gold or silver. She can"t bear to wear such heavy and expensive clothes.
She looked at Lu s.h.i.+ with a complicated look and asks, " Can"t I wear something else? "
" Something comfortable and cla.s.sy. I mean I can pair the simple and pretty dress with the jewelry, it will look light and cla.s.sy. What say? " she suggested.
Because Zhao Ming really can"t bear to wear these heavy clothes in this d.a.m.n summer.
" Who the h.e.l.l wears such f*cking heavy and silk dresses in this weather. Even the person like me won"t dare to wear something like this in this weather." she cursed inwardly.
" Is that Ji Cheng crazy? Was he trying to kill me from the heat by sending these kind of clothes to wear in this weather? " she huffed under her breath.
Though the clothes are beautiful, but they cannot be worn in this weather.
Lu s.h.i.+ looked at Zhao Ming in denial, " No Miss, you can"t do that. His highness has especially sent these clothes for you. "
" These clothes and jewelry cannot be compared to consort Xiao Li"s clothes. I have seen their clothes, they are given to her by the Empress Dowager herself. "
" They are very beautiful and have so many accessories but not more than these. So you had to wear these clothes. Otherwise, everyone will look down at you " she said nervously.
She knows that after woking up from coma, Zhao Ming was behaving differently. So she must guide and help her Miss in her difficult time.
Zhao Ming looked at Lu s.h.i.+ with bored expression and then looked at those clothes.
She sighed.
She doesn"t want to wear these clothes. This place doesn"t even have an air conditioner, forget conditioner, this place doesn"t even have fans.
They use hand fans to keep themselves cool. If they feel hot, then why the h.e.l.l they had to wear such flashy and heavy clothes in summer.
" They can just wear something with light fabric. These palace people are such a show-off. "
" They had to wear heavy jewelry and clothes even in their room, even while sleeping they are all top-notch. So fake, hmph " she snorted inwardly.
Then Zhao Ming turns her attention to Lu s.h.i.+ again and said, " Lu s.h.i.+, the beauty cannot be defined by the clothes you wear. It"s defined by your heart and morals . "
" If your heart is not pure, then you won"t be beautiful no matter how much dolled up . " Zhao Ming said with a straight face.
She inwardly praised herself for speaking eloquently.
After coming to the palace, she has become a good speaker.
Lu s.h.i.+ looked at Zhao Ming with her mouth opened and eyes widened.
Earlier she gets hurt because she was not given better clothes than Xiao Li even if she is the Empress. Ji Cheng never cared and Empress Dowager was such a b*Tch that she gave all the attention to Xiao Li.
" But now why Miss is behaving like these things doesn"t matter now?"
In the palace, people are ready to kill each other for the attention of the Emperor.
But Zhao Ming does not care about it at all. Like it does not matter to her anymore.
" Is it because she doesn"t want to get hurt by Emperor again? Or does her love for the emperor have faded away? " Lu s.h.i.+ thought inwardly.
" But Miss, his highness has sent them especially for you. If you don"t wear them, he will feel bad. You should not deny his gift like this . " Lu s.h.i.+ said cautiously.
