...
All the consorts of Ji Cheng has already arrived. They cannot be late then the Emperor, so they arrived early.
They were chattering among them, praising the other consort for their dress and accessories but inwardly they were jealous of them and ridiculing them inside.
At that ti, the head consort Xiao Li arrived. She was the second wife of Ji Cheng after Zhao Ming. She was the Head of other consorts and report the details to Zhao Ming.
It's what she should do but with Empress Dowgar 's encouragent, she takes all the decisions herself. She thinks that she was the Empress herself.
When Xiao Li makes an entry in the Banquet with her two maids by her side, everyone quieted down staring at her.
She was the example of a pure goddess. She was wearing a sea blue color dress, which was decorated with silver thread and many expensive beads were adorned on the dress.
The color of the dress complinted her milky white skin.? Her hair was made in half bun and rest were kept open. Her hair was long and black.
The bun was adorned with beautiful and expensive hairpins. Her slightly pink lips were the most attractive feature of her face. Her eyes, nose, lips everything was perfect.
The young man in the banquet, kept staring at her. She was the most desirable woman in the entire Ji Dynasty but too bad that she married the Emperor.
No one can make a move on her. She was head consort of course.
...
When Xiao Li entered, many people ca to greet her and she greeted them back. With her honey tongue, she was known as the well mannered and polite consort among of all.
After slightly greeting them she made her way to the royal sitting area. The three head chairs in the center were for the Emperor, Empress on the right side and Xiao Li on the left of the Emperor.
In the right side of their sitting area, there was a big royal chair for the Empress Dowager.
The head chair was always for the Emperor. And the two head consorts, that is Zhao Ming and Xiao Li will sit beside him on each side.
She didn't sit on her seat because the Emperor hasn't arrived yet. She went to check the arrangents of the Banquet. She was the one who has taken the responsibility of arranging the Banquet.
Zhao Ming was in a coma when this banquet was decided. So she was given the responsibility to make all the necessary arrangents.
As she was talking to the head eunuch about the arrangents, a bunch of consorts ca to her, to greet her, praise her and gain favors from her.
They know, if one is close to Xiao Li then they will be in the good books of Empress Dowager
Consort Xie i: " Consort Xiao Li, today you will take the all Lilight here. You're looking the most beautiful in this whole banquet." she praised her.
She was the sidekick of Xiao Li, always praise her to be on her side. Because she knows that it will benefit her a lot. And Xiao Li also allows her to be by her side, as she was stupid and would do anything that Xiao Li says.
Many tis she confronted? Zhao Ming and played tricks against her being provoked by Xiao Li. She knows that Zhao Ming doesn't have any respectable background and Empress Dowager also hates her. Moreover, Xiao Li's family background was powerful and if anything happens she will help her.
Zhao Ming was treated as a pushover in the palace.
...
Hearing Consort Xie i 's praised, Xiao Li tried to be modest and replied shyly, " Oh, don't say like that. I am nothing compared to her highness. I am sure she will steal all the lilight today." she said giving a beautiful smile.
She snickered inwardly, ' Hah. That bi*ch is nothing in front of . Today I will show her, her real place in this palace.' But kept a modest smile on her face in front of others.
Consort Xie i said," What are you saying, consort Xiao Li? Here everyone knows how beautiful you are and the Empress couldn't compare to your natural beauty. So don't be so modest".
Another consort chid in, " Yes, consort Xiao Li. You're the most beautiful, that's why Empress Dowager and Emperor adore you so much. There's no way that her highness can compare to your beauty." she said trying to butter her up.
Other consorts also praised her.
Xiao Li gave them a helpless smile.
At that mont, Empress Dowager also made her entry into the Banquet. Everyone took their positions and Xiao Li went forward to greet the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager was wearing the royal orange colored dress with her exquisite hair bun adorned with jade hairpins.
She was looking beautiful and royal with her exquisite features. She made her way into the banquet with her two maids elegantly.
Xiao Li ca to her and greeted her and wished her happy birthday. Wen Xu smiled at her and gave her a slight hug.
When Xu looked at Xiao Li and said, " Oh my, you're looking so beautiful. I am sure today, Ji Cheng will not be able to control himself." she said while winking at Xiao Li.
Hearing her words, Xiao Li beca embarrassed and looked down. Seeing her reaction, Wen Xu laughed a little and asked,
" Where is Ji Cheng? And I can't see that bi*ch either?" she asked angrily in a low voice.
It was Empress Dowager's birthday and Zhao Ming didn't co to wish her in the morning and here she was nowhere to be seen.
She should co first and greet her. Ji Cheng was the Emperor so he was allowed to be late. But she was not.
Till now, nobody knows that Zhao Ming will make an entry with JI Cheng because before they never ca together.
Hearing Wen Xu's words, Xiao Li snickered inwardly. But replied, " Mother, Sister must be running late. You know after waking up from the coma, she needs rest and she could not also rember many things. So we should help her gain her mories." she said with a helpless smile.
When Xu looked at Xiao Li helplessly and said," Oh My Xiao Li, you don't know anything. That girl is a sly. Didn't you see her how she was behaving a few days ago. I know she must be afraid to co here and face , after what she did to ". She said as an angry look flashed in her eyes.
" Don't worry. Today I will not let her bully anyone. And show her, her real place. How dare she disrespect and she even insulted you. I won't leave her today. You just wait." Wen Xu Comforted Xiao Li.
Xiao Li looked at Wen Xu with her teared up eyes, as she was thankful to Wen Xu.
When Xu cheered her up and went to sit on her seat.
Xiao Li also settled on the seat beside the Empress Dowager. She was waiting for the Emperor to sit on the seat beside him.
