Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng and said, " Your Majesty, can I ask you something?"

  Ji Cheng nodded and said, " Yes. What is it?"

  " Your Majesty, I don't want to hold a meeting at Orchid pavilion. Can I change the venue of the meeting?"

  Zhao Ming doesn't want to hold the meeting at the orchid pavilion because if she held the meeting there then Wen Xu will use her authority to control her.

  Ji Cheng nodded and said," Yes, you can. Since you're the Empress, you have the power to hold the meeting anywhere. But you have to send the information about the change in the venue to everyone, so that they can attend the meeting." he explained since she doesn't know the workings of the harem yet.

  Zhao Ming nodded.

  Though she has no idea about the workings of the harem but she has studied business and has a capability to manage a company itself.

  It wouldn't be a big deal for her to manage the harem if she used the same business tactics here as well.

  " Then where do you want to change the venue to?" Ji Cheng asked while straightening his robe.

  Zhao Ming's lips curled up as she said, " Your majesty, I want to hold the meeting at your study room. Can I do that?"

  When Zhao Ming saw Ji Cheng's study for the first time, she fell in love with it. It was not only beautifully decorated but it has many books and account documents as well which will help her to understand the work here.

  She can try to know about the management and people by reading books. At least it will give her a basic idea of the people and their mindset and workings.

  However, that was her secondary goal. Her main goal was to show her value to Xiao Li and Wen Xu.

  She knows that Ji Cheng doesn't allow anyone to study without his permission.

  He uses the study for his work and no one went there before. She went there with Wen Ru and Xiao Li when Wen Ru just returned.

  If she were to hold the meeting at his study then they will know how much Ji Cheng adores her, that he gave her his study to hold the meeting.

  She wanted to show Xiao Li and Wen Xu that she is not an unwanted Empress anymore and if they were to mess with her, Ji Cheng won't leave them.

  A sly smile appeared on her face just thinking about their expressions.

  ' It's gonna be fun.'

  ….

  Ji Cheng was surprised when he heard Zhao Ming's words. He never thought that she would ask to hold the meeting in his study.

  Though he doesn't like people entering his study and it's for his work and only those people come there whom he allows too.

  He looked at Zhao Ming dotingly and asked, " Why do you want to hold a meeting at the study only? There are many places where you can hold the meeting but why did you choose the study room?"

  He has no issues giving her the study because she was his wife and it's her right to use that study. How can he deny her to use that study?

  That study room is not important compared to her.

  He just wants to know why she has so much interest in that study room.

  " Because I like the atmosphere there. Also, there are many books that I want to read, so I want to stay back after the meeting." she said while combing her hair with her finger.

  " You want to read books? But there are only books about management and accounts. There are no medical books in the study room. ' Ji Cheng said in puzzlement.

  As much as he knows, she has interest in medicine but in the study there were only books about management and administration and his work related books and documents.

  Zhao Ming's smile stiffened when she heard his words.

  ' Oh right. Zhao Ming was the daughter of a doctor and was a doctor herself.'

  She has totally forgotten about this fact. Though Zhao Ming didn't have practiced medicine after her marriage, her talent didn't fade away because of it. She not only had talent but she had enough experience as well.

  She had been working with her father since childhood and was assisting him in treating people.

  " Ermm…… I wanted to learn about management and accounts as well. Since I have to manage the harem, that's the basics that I should know." she said with seriousness.

  Ji Cheng was surprised because no one has ever seriously studied about these subjects just to manage the harem.

  If she is ready to read about it, then she is serious about it.

  He knows that Zhao Ming was intelligent and knows how to read and write. Though generally women are not allowed education in the Ji Dynasty, Zhao Ming's father was a progressive man and never thought that men are any better than women.

  He has taught Zhao Ming not only to read and write but also passed her his talent in medicine.

  …


  Ji Cheng looked at her and said, " I will ask Feng Ju to prepare the study room for your meeting. You can hold the meeting there at noon. Is that fine?"

  Ji Cheng has some work at the study, so He asked her to hold the meeting in the afternoon, which she gladly accepted.

  " You should send the official letter to everyone informing them about the change in time and the venue. On the letter, you should stamp your official seal so that they will know that it is the official letter and they have to attend the meeting." Ji Cheng told her because he was worried that she might be bullied because of her lack of knowledge regarding the workings of the palace.

  Zhao Ming nodded.

  She was indeed oblivious of the fact that she a

  has an official seal as well. She thought that only the Emperor has their seals but she found out that she has her personal seal which was used on the documents of the harem.

  Ji Cheng looked at her and took a deep breath. He was trying to control himself because she looked enticing since she woke up.

  When she stood up from the bed, her gown was disheveled which caused a chaos in his heart.

  Zhao Ming stared at him in confusion when he kept staring at her.

  " Your majesty? Is there something else?" she asked him in puzzlement.

  " Zhao Ming."

  Zhao Ming blinked her eyes seeing him being? so serious. She was standing facing him and her hands were by her sides.

  " Will you get angry at me if I do this? "

  Zhao Ming raised her brows trying to comprehend his words. What does he mean by this?
