Chapter 723 - Women Ruling Men!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

During the lunch, Jian Yan kept looking at Xie Ming and was staring at how she was interacting with Liwei. When talking with Liwei, she always had a smile on her lips and was hearing everything he had to say with the utmost attention.

He sighed and couldn't believe that the only opportunity he got was overshadowed by Liwei. He knows that they are married and he has no chance seeing their chemistry but his heart was acting stubborn and he couldn't help but feel attracted towards her.

He smiled seeing her smiling while eating the lobster and was laughing after listening to Liwei's words. ' Seems like our timings never match.' He sighed remembering how she left the country when he came back to see her and even now when he found her, she was already someone's wife.

Why is my love story always unfinished?

Ji Dynasty.

Lu shi looked at Zhao Ming who was changing her clothes and wore a simple light blue dress without any accessories. She even styled her hair differently, she puffed the front hair and fixed them with pins keeping the rest open.

" Your Majesty, why do you look different today? Are you going somewhere?" she asked while looking at her in confusion.

Zhao Ming who was humming while combing her long-black hair glanced at her and said, " The weather is really nice today, so I am planning to go out today."

" Eh? Going out? Suddenly? Did you take permission from His Majesty?" She asked worriedly.

These days she was feeling as if she was living on the edges. Unlike before, Zhao Ming was doing anything these days, without asking Ji Cheng and she could feel the tension around the palace.

Before she at least used to ask him and convince him to do things with her but now she doesn't even ask. She was living in the palace as if there are no rules and was having fun.

Zhao Ming chuckled bitterly upon hearing her words and said, " Why? Why would I ask him before going anywhere? Did he ask me when he went to the brothel with Wen Ru last night?" she asked, making Lu Shi shut up.

Last night, she heard Feng Ju telling Lu shi that Wen Ru and Ji Cheng went to the brothel last night. Even though Ji Cheng has banned the brothels earlier upon Zhao Ming's advice but they haven't been closed down and some were still running in secret.

But he went there with Wen Ru? This made her blood boil in anger. He dares to go outside just because he is angry with her?

That's why she also decided to go and enjoy her life rather than crying over a stupid Emperor who doesn't even know her worth. He has no idea how good of a catch she is.

She has not only learned business but knows about fashion as well. If she had been in her world, she would have become a famous designer or model. Or if not there was a possibility for her to op[en her own brand as well. There were so many opportunities for her but here she was stuck in this world with no freedom and opportunity to do anything.

" Your Majesty, it would be better if you could ask His Majesty for his permission. If he found out later he would be-

Lu shi was worried about the future consequences but she stopped when Zhao Ming glared at her.

" Are you on my side or his?" she asked, Lu shi contemplated for a while at which Zhao Ming scowled.

" Ah, Ah, I am on your side. That's why I am worried about you," she said while rubbing her palms nervously.

Zhao Ming laughed pleased with her response and said, " Don't worry. He won't be able to do anything to me. If I get angry, I know how to control him. If he is the Emperor, I am the Empress here."

" Men might know how to rule the world, but women know how to win over men. So who's the main ruler here?" she winked at Lu shi making her blush.

Lu shi smiled seeing her looking better than before. After having a fight with Ji Cheng, she was looking worried and down all the time. But since she moved to the Lotus pavilion, her condition is getting better which relieved her.

Zhao Ming glanced at Lu shi from the mirror and raised her brows while smiling at her through the mirror, " By the way, Feng Ju is coming to the lotus pavilion quite often these days. Why do you think so?"

Lu shi's cheeks turned crimson upon hearing her question and her suggestive tone made her blush. " Wh...Really? Did he? Maybe he is coming because His Majesty asked him to find out about your condition?"

Zhao Ming chuckled hearing her response.

" You really think so? I don't think so. I think he has his eyes fixated on someone else."

" Do you think he likes Nini? I think he likes her. She does have a baby-like face and a cute personality." she said using another maid as bait.

Lu shi's expressions darkened hearing her words. She frowned and looked at the floor while playing with her fingers nervously, " Really? Does he come here for Nini? But she does have a cute smile…" she pouted while Zhao Ming observed her reaction.

' She is done for. Feng Ju...that..sly creature. She took my most loyal person from me.' she chuckled and shook her head in helplessness.

In the palace chamber, Ji Cheng was sitting on the bed, with his back resting against the bed headrest, and looked at Wen Ru who was staring at him worriedly.

" Your Majesty, your condition seems really bad. Why did you drink so much yesterday?"

" I took you out to have fun and play with pretty ladies but you kept drinking, preventing any pretty woman to come inside. Why are you acting like this?" He asked in frustration.

They went out last night but rather than enjoying the night with women, he kept on drinking while playing with two cups calling them, Zhao Ming and Xie Ming. He kept mixing the cups and was choosing the cups over and over.

Even he felt dizzy seeing his actions. He knows that he fought with Zhao Ming, but his condition looked more serious than he thought.
