Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 448 - Harem Meeting(1)

Zhao Ming was sitting on her bed in daze as she remembered how Ji Cheng kissed her in the morning.

She has taken a bath and has gotten ready, yet she still cannot get over what happened in the morning.

Her face turned red whenever she remembered about their passionate kiss. She placed her palms on her cheeks as she tried to cool them down.

Ji Cheng would have continued to kiss her if Feng Ju didn't have remembered him about the meeting. He has to reluctantly leave her and go to twee court.

She felt giddy just as she thought about how she is comfortable with Ji Cheng and doesn't even repulse his touches and kisses.

That was a great change for her since she has always hated when men tried to come close to her and never liked any physical intimacy since high school.

'Xie Ming, you shouldn't be too happy about it. What will happen when you go back?' her smile disappeared as she remembered herself that she is not a real Zhao Ming.

She felt low spirited thinking that Ji Cheng might hate her if he found out that she is not Zhao Ming and was only pretending to be her.

' Sigh. Why is my life so hard?' she can't believe that the guy she started to like a little, was a hundred years old man.

Since she came from the future, wouldn't he be considered an old man for her?.

…

" Miss, here's your breakfast." Lu shi entered the room carrying breakfast for Zhao Ming in her hands.

Zhao Ming looked at the tray in her hand and nodded.

" What else did you bring?" Zhao Ming squinted her eyes when she saw the other two maids following Lu shi with something in their hands.

" These are the books that His Majesty has sent for you. He has asked that you can go through these books before attending the harem meeting. He said that this will help you to understand the rules more thoroughly." Lu shi took the books from one maid and placed them on the table.

Zhao Ming was astonished seeing that Ji Cheng has sent so many books for her to read. His consideration touched her heart because she was indeed worried that she would have made a joke of herself because she didn't know the rules properly.

" Also, this is your dress for today to attend the meeting. His Majesty has said that you should wear this dress to the meeting." Lu shi took the dress from another maid's hand and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was confused why Ji Cheng sent another outfit for her. She already has so many outfits yet he sent another one.

She looked at the sky blue colored royal outfit that he had sent. With the dress, he has sent matching jewelry as well.

A smile appeared on her lips as he saw the fabric of the dress. It was soft and comfortable to wear in this weather.

" Put it on the bed." she asked Lu shi to place the dress on the bed.

After having her hearty breakfast, she picked the books and documents that he had sent for her.

Since the meeting was in nood, there was some time for the meeting. In the meanwhile, she can go through these books and documents to get the basic idea about the rules and regulations.

According to his instructions, she has sent the official letter to everyone regarding the change in time and venue.

The document she picked first was the account book of the harem. She was surprised that he even sent this as well.

She really wanted to see the account book so that she can see how they were managing the harem in the past.

She was surprised yet not so surprised seeing the numbers in the account book.

In the last few months, more than half of the budget was given to only Wen Xu and Xiao Li while others were given a fraction of the remaining budget.

And all that happens because Wen Xu was managing the harem. Though it was Zhao Ming's responsibility, Wen Xu fooled Zhao Ming and after proving her incapable, she took the managing powers from her.

She sighed and took note of the fact that she needed to make some necessary changes in the budget distribution so that everyone gets their monthly spendings fairly.

It's not fair for the two of them to get so much while others were getting nothing.

She picked the other book which was the rule book of the palace. She started reading it and wondered why she didn't read it before.

This way she could have understood the palace better.

…..

" Mother, did you receive the letter sent by Sister Zhao Ming?" Xiao Li asked Wen Xu who was sitting on her chair.

A few minutes ago,

When Xiao Li got the letter that Zhao Ming will not only the meeting but will also head the meeting as well, she felt anxious thinking about what if Zhao Ming tried to cr3ate problems for her.

Not only that, Zhao Ming also wanted to change the time and venue of the meeting. The venue had been changed to Ji Cheng's study room.

She was already shocked that she is attending this meeting, which means that she will showcase her power at the meeting in front of everyone.

However, when she saw the change in venue, she felt immense hatred towards Zhao Ming. She cannot believe that Ji Cheng allowed Zhao Ming to have the meeting at the study room.

That's why she went to meet Wen Xu as soon as soon as she received the letter.

….

Wen Xu saw the official letter in her hand and crumbled it with her fist.

She gritted her teeth and said, " Xiao Li, you don't need to worry about this. She wanted to head the meeting? Let her do it. I will also see what she can do at the meeting."

" Mother, I cannot understand why Sister Zhao Ming has changed the venue for the meeting. Didn't we always hold the meetings at the orchid pavilion? Why does she want to change it all of a sudden?"

Wen Xu pursed her lips as creases appeared on her forehead.

She looked at Xiao Li with a complicated gaze and said, " Xiao Li you know how rowdy she has become since she has woken up from the coma. She has forgotten all the respect for the elders, that's why she wanted to change the venue, to look down on me."

" But does she really think that her cheap tactics will really affect me? Let her do what she wants, I will also see how she will manage the harem in the future. Does she think that it's a joke to run the harem peacefully?" Wen Xu smirked as she tapped her fingers on the arm rest.

Xiao Li nodded as a sly smile appeared on her lips. She came here because she wanted to remind Wen Xu that they need to work together to kick Zhao Ming out of the palace.
