Chapter 379 - We Are Going To Stay A Night Here.
Zhao Ming was surprised when Ji Cheng suddenly tugged at her arm telling her to go and rest.
Though she was feeling a little tired because her head was hurting since she had heard Yu Kang's words.
Though it didn't make her stressed but because she remembered all the incidents that happened to her before, she felt quite weak.
Wen Ru looked up at Zhao Ming and said, " Yes. Brother is right. You should go and rest."
" But if I took a rest now, then there won't be time for me to look around. Don't we have to leave for the palace in awhile? I can't waste my time by sleeping. I can rest in the carriage when we go back. "
" For now, I don't want to rest and want to look around. " Zhao Ming denied their request saying that she doesn't want to sleep.
She woke up early in the morning and traveled to this far in that slow carriage, ' just to sleep?'
How can she waste her time like this when she has done so much just for this trip. Moreover, she doesn't even know how many chances she will get in the future to come out of the palace.
Ji Cheng frowned when he heard her words. She does not want to rest just because she doesn't want to waste her time sleeping.
But he could see her face which had gone pale and she was sweating profusely. If she didn't take a rest, she might faint again.
He does not want to take a chance with her health.
He sighed and looked at Wen Ru, " Prepare a room for us to stay here. We are going to stay a night here."
Wen Ru was surprised when JI Cheng suddenly asked him to prepare a room for them.
" Room? You're staying here? Really?" Wen Ru was surprised because Ji Cheng never stayed anywhere like this.
He only sleeps at places where they have already prepared in advance and Zhao Ming would be the first woman to stay out of the palace like this.
By now, only Empress Dowager could stay out like this and that too at the places which were specially prepared for her.
Xiao Li has gone out of the palace a few times to go to the temples or meet someone with Empress Dowager. But those trips were only one day long and she never stayed a night out like this ever.
Now not only Zhao Ming but Ji Cheng was staying at the Royal Brush. It was an honor for Wen Ru.
Ji Cheng didn't answer Wen Ru's confirmation question and looked at Zhao Ming, " You can look around later, now let's go and rest."
Zhao Ming was speechless. After all, he extended their trip from one day to two days because he wanted her to rest for a bit.
She became excited because now she could stay a night at this place. She has gotten bored from that palace Chamber of her.
" Yes. I will go and rest. Your highness, you're the best." she happily clasped her hands together and looked at Ji Cheng with her glistening eyes.
Ji Cheng looked at the woman in front of her who was looking at him with her brightening eyes and behaving cutely. His lips automatically curved into a smile seeing her looking at him like this.
….
As Ji Cheng said, Wen Ru prepared a room for them and gave them his room which was the biggest room in the pavilion and luxurious enough for both of them to stay.
Wen Ru led them to his room, Zhao Ming looked at Wen Ru apologetically and said, " Brother Wen, there is no need for you to give your room to us. Any spare room would be fine."
She felt uncomfortable using his room and he had to sleep in another room.
Ji Cheng didn't look at Wen Ru and walked up to the bed in the bedroom and sat on it like it's his own room.
Zhao Ming: - _-
Wen Ru: - _-
Wen Ru scoffed lightly seeing Ji Cheng behaving high and mighty. It seems that he has already started treating it as his room.
But at least Zhao Ming was considerate enough to ask him that they can sleep in another room. Even though he wouldn't have done that because they were his guests and they were the Emperor and the Empress.
How can he let them sleep in any spare room?
He looked up at Zhao Ming and said, " It's okay. You don't need to think about it much. I can just sleep in another room. And I have made the servants change the bedsheets and the blanket."
" So you don't need to feel awkward about it," he said while ensuring her that she won't feel uncomfortable sleeping on someone else's bed.
Zhao Ming looked up at him and smiled. Seeing Wen Ru's personality when they first met him, she didn't think that he could be so considerate to others.
After that Wen Ru left the room seeing that Ji Cheng didn't seem interested and wanted him to get out.
He is smart so he understood the meaning of his gaze and left quietly.
….
After Wen Ru left, Zhao Ming walked towards the bed and sat on its edge.
Ji Cheng was sitting at one side of the bed with his back against the bed stand. His eyes were closed as if he was sleeping and his both hands were supporting the back of his head.
When Zhao Ming sat on the edge of the bed, she heard his voice.
" Lay down and sleep." he didn't open his eyes and said with his eyes closed.
Zhao Ming looked at him and said, " I am not sleepy now. I just wanted to relax for a while but cannot sleep now. Because it's weird to sleep on someone else's bed." she said awkwardly.
Even though Wen Ru has said that he has already changed the bed set but it feels weird to sleep here.
Ji Cheng opened his eyes when he heard her words and turned his head to look at her.
Zhao Ming pursed her lips when he turned to her and started staring at her.
It feels strange when he stares at her like this.
