Chapter 244 - Would I Be Sacrificed Just Like The Queen In The Chess?
Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi with annoyed expressions and sighed. She does not want to lose her temper on her because she knows that she wanted her well being but she can't help but get annoyed with her constant nagging.
Everyone wanted her to behave in a certain way that she cannot do. They wanted her to eat less, talk less, walk slowly and elegantly even sleep elegantly. What kind of rubbish place is this?
She does not understand why there are so many restrictions on her. Is it because she is a woman or because she was the Empress. But whatever the reason was, she doesn't like people who keep lecturing her over her behavior.
She wanted to leave this place and go back to her world but could not find any way to do so.
She doesn't even know how she ca into this world. Even now, everything seems like an unreasonable dream to her which will be over after she wakes up from her sleep.
However, no matter whenever she wakes up from her sleep, she sees the sa old room decorated with porcelain, curtains and old antiques with lanterns and the sll of scented incense plays with her nose and forces her to sneeze repeatedly.
" Go and get the food. And rember to bring the large bowls for . Don't bring those small bowls again otherwise, I will break them into pieces this ti." Zhao Ming said with a cold voice glaring at Lu shi.
Every ti Lu shi brings food to Zhao Ming she brought it in the small bowls which could only serve as the half portion of her appetite.
In the palace, all the ladies eat their al in the small bowls as it helps them to eat less and they can also manage their figures as well. The ladies in this era also worry about their figures like in the 21st century.
However, she was not like them. She would eat if she wanted to eat. She can't just worry about her figure and not eat the delicious food just to lose so pounds.
For that, she can do so exercises and get in shape but could not stop eating for that. She doesn't mind eating less to remain healthy but she hates when people do this to impress soone or keep in shape just for others.
She could not understand their reason to not eat just because they wanted to look pretty, not because they wanted to be healthy.
Lu shi pursed her lips and dared not to say anything. She saw that she looks in an awful mood and would scream if she said anything. So to save herself from getting scolded, she nodded and silently went out to get the food after bowing lightly.
Seeing Lu shi go away, Zhao Ming sighed and slumped onto the bed once again. She stared at the canopy of the bed that it was making and just stared at it without blinking her eyes for a while.
" Why my life has beco like this? This is so annoying. Zhao Ming's life is more awful than mine. At least I didn't have a love rival like Xiao Lu and wicked mother-in-law like Wen Xu." she mumbled grumpily while laying down.
" Mother Jin was so sweet and nice compared to this bi*..." she stopped in the middle of cursing Wen Xu.
She rembered that Wen Xu has the sa face as her mother and did not complete her words. Though she was not a mother yet she has the sa face as her, so she could not dare to curse at her.
She controls herself just for the sake of her mother. At this mont, she was missing her mother so much.
" No one would have realized that the Xie Ming with them is not the sa girl as before. They must be glad that I have changed." she laughed coldly with her sad eyes while looking at the canopy in the middle.
She doesn't know at this mont what more surprises will she have to see in this life. The biggest joke her life has played on her by sending her into so unknown and weird place where her life is in danger every ti under everyone's death glares.
This place has more enemies than friends. She will not be surprised if soone will co to assassinate her in the middle of the night. Because doesn't Empress dies in every drama before the Emperor?
Even in chess*, the queen has to protect the king and sacrifices her life.
" Would I be sacrificed just like the queen in chess?
' Sigh.'
" I just hope that this palace will not be as ruthless as other palaces in novels and dramas, otherwise my real life will beco a living hell." she griefed over her condition while staring aimlessly.
There are tis when people feel down and everything becos negative even for energetic Xie Ming as well. She was just a human and has every reason to cry and worry about her future.
Her life was not as well as Zhao Ming who was living her life in her body as Xie Ming. Though she does not know what is her situation but she knows that it won't be as bad as her.
She has lived with Liwei and knows that he will not do anything unless she doesn't do anything.
Whereas she has to deal with Wen Xu, Xiao Li, and the cunning concubines. Moreover, this place does not have anything for her leisure. No phone, no wifi, no television, and laptop.
She was lying on the bed with her leg slightly raised and her hands were by her side.
She turned to look towards the door when Lu shi knocked on the door before entering. Her mood picked up seeing the delicacies placed on the tray on her hand.
She hurriedly sat over on the bed excitedly? disregarding her mood just a minute ago, " You ca."
Lu shi smiled seeing the happy faces of Zhao Ming when she brought the food in. This food has co from the kitchen of the Emperor.
The Emperor has soone to send the food which was made in his kitchen saying that she will like this.
The food of the Emperor was prepared in the kitchen and was made of high quality and rare ingredients. So it's bound to be tasty when it is made if such rare and expensive items. However, he has sent the dishes for Zhao Ming which was very surprising.
Because not everyone has the honor to eat food made from the kitchen of the Emperor not even Xiao Li.
Wen Xu has eaten the food because she was the Empress Dowager and could eat the food made in the head kitchen. However, no one else was allowed to taste the food not even Xiao Li.
When Zhao Ming saw the sa delicious noodles that she ate at the Banquet, her eyes shone with bright light and rembered that Ji Cheng has asked the head cook to prepare dishes for her as well.
Her eyes were glistening brightly as she looked at Lu shi and asked, " Are these dishes made by head cook Qian Dan?" she asked in amusent as she stared at the dishes in front of her.
Lu shi seeing the excitent in her eyes and smiled lightly.
" Yes, Miss. It is indeed made by the head cook Qian Dan and the emperor has soone send these dishes to us. "
Zhao Ming's mood elevated because she was craving these noodles and now she got to eat them. Though she has only eaten them yesterday but it was not enough to satiate her greed for delicious food.
Her mouth was drooling slling the delicious aroma from the noodles. Qian Dan was the head cook and has served the old Emperor as well.
It was an honor for people other than the Emperor to eat food made by her. She was the head in the palace and was even older than the Empress Dowager.
Even Wen Xu could not say anything to her and was slightly intimidated by her because Qian Dan was not an easy figure to deal with.
' Chess is a ga where everyone struggles to protect their king and the ga will end with his death. Chess originated in northern India in the 6th century and then later spread into the world by the Muslim rulers and invaders.'
