***Ji Dynasty.

  By the night, Feng Ju had shifted Zhao Ming's all the belongings to Ji Cheng's chamber in the palace.

  She was surprised how fast he is. He was asked to do it by tomorrow but he did in the one day that too before they could have their dinner.

  This man is unrealistically fast.

  " Miss" Lu Shi called out from outside.

  Zhao Ming looked over at the gate and saw Lu Shi holding the books that she had asked for.

  Her expressions were complicated as she looked at her Miss.

  Zhao Ming chuckled and waved her hand, " Come in. "

  " Miss, why did you ask me to get these books? Do you know that the women in the palace are not allowed to read such things? I had such a hard time finding these novels for you." Lu Shi said in a hushed voice.

  Zhao Ming smiled excitedly and said, " Go hell with your stupid restrictions. It's just a novel. Why are you being so dramatic? If I had known before that there are fiction novels in this world as well then I wouldn't have wasted my time like this."

  " If there is no phone, then I would have to work with this. Thanks for getting me these." Zhao Ming said insincerely while picking one of the novels.

  She has heard some maid talking about these romance novels. She never thought that she could get novels in this world as well.

  In Ji Cheng's library, she only found documents, and other intellectual books. Nothing is interesting to read for fun.

  That's why she asked Lu Shi to arrange these novels for her. After all, she needs something to spend her time.

  The day here feels so long. It's so boring.

  Lu Shi pursed her lips and looked at the books in Zhao Ming's hand and said, " Miss, I have asked the other maid to arrange these books for me. These books cannot be found in the palace.You're now going to live together with his majesty, so you have to hide them well."

  " If these books were found by him, then it will become very difficult for me and that maid who has helped me to get these books. So you have to be careful." Lu Shi was scared knowing Zhao Ming's carefree nature.

  Zhao Ming frowned as she was getting annoyed hearing her nagging. She gave her a light push and waved her hand urging her to go.

  "-_-"

  Lu Shi sighed and finally left the chamber.

  After Lu Shi was gone, Zhao Ming went to the bed with one of the novels in her hand. She plopped on the bed as it was more soft and comfortable than her bed in the chamber.

  She leisurely opened the book and started reading it. She didn't notice that it's almost dinner time.

  Ji Cheng went to his study to work while she was reading her novels.

  Her eyes widened when she realized why these novels were banned in the palace, especially for women.

  It's not just a romance novel but….the erotic one.

  "-_-"

  Her eyes opened just after reading 3-4 pages of the novel. The scenes in the novel were extremely descriptive and she could literally imagine what's going on.

  She swallowed as her cheeks turned red. In her past life, she has seen p*rn and he*tai stuff but she never read such novels.

  Now she was regretting why she never read such novels. These are much better and have a good storyline. And there is a different level of excitement in reading such stories.

  She never thought that there would be such erotic novels in this world.

  ' So they are not innocent as they show.'

  As she was busy in her imaginary world with the book in her hand, she didn't notice the door of the room opening.

  Ji Cheng finished his work and hurriedly came back to accompany Zhao Ming for dinner.

  He thought that she must be hungry and he doesn't want her to eat alone, so he came back with a tray of food in his hand.

  He didn't bother the maid to bring the food and brought it himself.

  The guards were shocked when they saw their Emperor carrying the food tray in his hand.

  That is the historical moment for them. His majesty carried his food tray himself?

  …


  Inside the room, Ji Cheng looked around and finally found her laid on the bed. He couldn't see properly what she was doing because of the curtains in between.

  He thought that she was sleeping, he got worried and wondered if she was sick.

  He walked towards the bed, pushing the curtains to the side.

  Zhao Ming, who was immersed in her own world, didn't notice that he came back and was walking towards her.

  Ji Cheng saw that she was reading a book while laying down. He was speechless because of her improper and rowdy posture.

  She did not look like a lady at all. She was wearing a dress yet she had her legs raised and crossed them keeping one leg over the other.

  He has never seen any lady acting like this. He was about to say something when he noticed the name of the book in her hand.

  It was written in a very small font but it was normal for him, so he could read that.

  " The burning sensation of the night.".

  His eyes widened in shock reading the name of the book.

  'What kind of book is she reading?'

  It was not just a romantic novel. It was an erotic one.

  From the name of the book, it was clear what kind of book it is. However, she didn't read the name since it was written in small fonts and she didn't bother to read the title as well.

  She just picked any random book.

  Lu Shi brought them thinking that it's just a normal romantic novels not knowing that the maid has actually given her erotic one.

  "-_-"

  He was dumbfounded seeing that the Empress of Ji Dynasty was reading such a book. In the palace, women are not allowed to read romance novels leave alone the erotic one.

  " Zhao Ming." He was shocked and called her out in puzzlement.

  Zhao Ming who was immersed in reading, frowned when she was disturbed. She looked over in annoyance and was startled seeing Ji Cheng in front of her.

  ' When did he come?' a cold sweat ran through her spine.

  She looked at the book in her hand and at that time reality hit her hard.

  She got startled and hurriedly sat up. She was about to hide the book behind her back but her hands were trembling and the book stumbled on the bed.

  " Shit." She cursed under her breath.

  He didn't hear what she said and picked up the book before she could do so

  She was scared to hell. She was feeling like she was caught by her parents watching p*rn.

  " Your…… Majesty. When did you come? I didn't realize it……haha." she laughed nervously while staring at the book in his hand.

  ' Don't look at it. Don't open that page.'

  She was scared that he might open the page that she was reading and the content was not something that she wanted him to see.

  It was the bloody hard core content.

  Otherwise, the innocent image she had created so far would go in gutter in an instant.
