Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 454 - Harem Meeting (7)

Zhao Ming looked at Wen Xu with a smirk on her face and asked in a very gentle tone, " You really want to know why I didn't ask anyone about the policies that I want to implement?"

Wen Xu pursed her lips as she could feel that Zhao Ming was up to something.

Xie Mei who was sitting away from them asked Zhao Ming, " Yes. Tell us , why do you want to implement these policies without our consent? You didn't even discuss this with us before yet you are also threatening us by involving His majesty in this."

" Empress Zhao Ming, you don't have your memories, but let me tell you. You are the Empress of the Ji Dynasty but you cannot do anything you want. In this harem, if you want to do anything you have to our consent first. "

Xie Mei does not want Zhao Ming's policies to get implemented because if this happened then she will not get the same budget and benefit as before that she was getting because of her status.

She was not in the top but she was not inferior either. In fact, since she has a good relationship with Xiao Li, she has received many benefits.

Zhao Ming looked at Xie Mei and scoffed, " Consort Xie Mei, I think you have forgotten but let me remind you. I am the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, not your servant whom you can order around."

.

" In the past I didn't say anything to you because I considered you as a lost idiot. I felt pity for you. But don't think that I won't say anything in future either. If you talk to me again in this tone, then don't force me to punish you harshly." Zhao Ming's expressions were cold as she glared at Xie Mei.

Xie Mei was shocked when she heard Zhao Ming's words. She never thought that Zhao Ming could say such words and that too in front of everyone.

She felt humiliated!

" You.." she gritted her teeth as she glared at Zhao Ming with her glistening eyes.

.

" What? And you said that I need your consent to do anything? Hah. I think you didn't read the rule book yet. I recommend you to go through it once and read all the rules again."

" Since you don't know, then I will tell you. Empress can implement any policy or law that seems beneficial for the Harem. For passing such policies I don't need your so-called consent because I have the permission from His Majesty himself. Do you still question my authority?"

" Xie Mei, you're just a consort and I am the Empress. Say who has more power? Since I don't speak much, don't think that I am mute. When I open my mouth, I am sure no one will be able to speak." Zhao Ming felt so annoyed because she was surprisingly doing something right and they are making things difficult for her.

Xie Mei was shocked when she saw the strong aura emanating from Zhao Ming.

" Xie Mei, I don't need to bow down in front of everyone. I am only answerable to His Majesty. You're nothing, so don't give yourself so much importance by thinking that I would need your consent to do anything. Moreover, in the past has anyone asked before passing any policies and laws for the harem? Hmm? Tell me?"

Wen Xu pursed her lips because Zhao Ming kept targeting her because in the past it was her who ran the Harem and she never took anyone's opinion and consent in consideration.

She did whatever she wanted to do and since her character is so strong and crafty, no one dared to speak up against her.

But since they find Zhao Ming like a little hamster, they all try to pressure her and show their imaginary powers.

Xie Mei didn't dare to say anything as she was scared seeing Zhao Ming's outburst. She has had no idea since when Zhao Ming became so strong.

" Zhao Ming, aren't you speaking too much? How dare you insult me in front of everyone? When you can't handle all this yourself, you are trying to shift attention from yourself to me? Hah. What a cheap tactic it is." Wen Xu scoffed as she turned her head away.

Xie Mei nodded sheepishly when she heard Wen Xu's words.

Xiao Li frowned and didn't say anything as she could see the dangerous expressions on Zhao Ming's face.

" Empress Dowager, you're so intelligent. So you know that the person I was talking about all this while was you. That's good. Since you know, then I don't need to go in circles. "

" You're right. I was talking about you and you're ' great' management. However, now I am the Empress of Ji Dynasty. And I will manage this harem properly and will make it a better place to live. " ( Note: ZM is saying great management in sarcasm. It was not great at all.)

" I am not so intelligent like you and I cannot keep filling my treasure while making others' lives hell. I am unfortunately very kind hearted. That's why I truly want to do something for everyone. This is why I am implementing these policies and have got permission by his majesty as well." Zhao Ming said as she took a letter from Lu shi and showed it to everyone.

It was the official letter sealed by Ji Cheng himself which confirmed that these policies will be implemented.

Wen Xu clenched her fist as she glared at Zhao Ming. She was insulting her in front of everyone and she felt somehow intimidated by this bitch.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Ji Cheng's seal. They had no words about the whole situation.

" Mother, please don't get angry at Sister Zhao Ming. Everything is new for her, that's why she is doing all? this. Isn't this for the next month only? Fine. Sister, if you think that you're doing right then please go ahead. Everyone wants the wellbeing of the consorts in the harem".

Xiao Li tugged at Wen Xu's arm under the table and said to Zhao Ming with a polite smile on her face.

' Isn't this only for one month? I will bear with it.' Xiao Li thought that they could do anything to make Zhao Ming's policy fail and this way she will be forced to change this system by the next meeting.

Everyone nodded when they heard Xiao Li's words. They were now sure that Xiao Li is such a fairy who is living in the palace to make their lives easier.

She always thinks about everyone's well being.

Zhao Ming scoffed when she saw everyone's expressions. She was the one who used her brain to make these policies and they are admiring Xiao Li.
