Zhao Ming does not want Ji Cheng to get scolded by Grandmother Shuren. Also, he indeed decided to send Wen Xu to an abandoned chamber as a punishment because of her.

  That's why she tried to explain this to Shuren, but before she could complete her words, her words were interrupted by someone, " Very good"

  She raised her head and saw it's Grandmother Shuren,

  "-_-"

  "-_-"

  She was stunned hearing her words. Is she making sarcastic remarks or simply complimenting her?

  Likewise, Ji Cheng was baffled as well. He was not expecting Shuren to behave this way.?After all, he not only suspended the Empress Dowager, but he also sent her to the abandoned chamber.

  At the end of the day, Wen Xu is his mother and he was expecting Grandmother Shuren to scold him for that. After his marriage, it was the first time that Grandmother Shuren came to the palace and he was worried that if she could get along with Zhao Ming or not.

  Grandmother Shuren looked at Ji Cheng with a pleased expression and said, " What you did to Wen Xu, is good. It's necessary to show people that anyone is not allowed to insult the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, be it commoners or Empress Dowager."

  " And You." She turned to Zhao Ming and looked at her with her same cold face but her lips were saying something different from her expressions.

  " I thought you would get away from your responsibility and put all the blame on Ji Cheng. But I am glad that you didn't get intimidated because of the circumstances and from me and said the truth. I like that attitude."

  " Now I understand why Brother chose you to be Ji Cheng's wife and the Empress of Ji Dynasty. You're not the type to hide behind him all the time, that's how an Empress should be'' She said as she talked about the late Emperor.

  "-_-"

  Zhao Ming was shocked to hear praises from Shuren's mouth. She wasn't expecting this at all. Is this real?

  Even the ministers in the hall were shocked to hear the words of praises from Grandmother Shuren. They were all prepared to see Zhao Ming's doom today. Since the day she has woken up from the coma, she has changed a lot. Because of that, they have seen Ji Cheng getting more and more attracted to her. Recently all of his decisions have been influenced by Zhao Ming and he is doing all the things that have not been done in the past.

  Some people were worried that Zhao Ming might have used magic or something to possess Ji Cheng in her trap to make him follow her blindly.

  That's why they were expecting Grandmother Shuren to deal with Zhao Ming since Wen Xu has been suspended and now only she can deal with her.

  However, their expectations died when they saw the way Grandmother Shuren was showering Zhao Ming with praises. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not thieves. Regards Kamlyn]

  Zhao Ming was shocked and happy at the same time. Finally, someone praised her for what happened to Wen Xu. Is this the start of the new alliance?

  ….

  After greeting Grandmother Shuren, Zhao Ming sat on her royal chair beside Ji Cheng. Many people wanted to greet Shuren because she came to the palace after so long and after all, she is the daughter of Ji Family, even though she is concubine's daughter but the Old Emperor has treated her like his real sister.

  That's why her reputation is much higher than Wen Xu in the palace.

  The court concluded shortly because Ji Cheng announced that Grandmother Shuren must be exhausted from the long journey and a banquet will be held the day after tomorrow to welcome Grandmother Shuren and in that feast, everyone can greet her properly.

  After this, Zhao Ming brought Grandmother Shuren to her chamber which she had especially prepared.

  She was standing behind her, looking nervous while Shuren was looking around the chamber.

  Ji Cheng was standing beside her and he felt amused seeing her nervous expressions.

  In the room, peach-colored curtains, matching bed sheets, a large lavish chandelier, and various paintings have been used to decorate the room. Generally in the palace, everything is of red and golden color but this combination makes the room seem dark and blocks the sunlight.

  However, using light colors in the room makes it more pleasing to the eyes and refreshing. Also, the paintings used to decorate the room were all very light and colorful. She has put the flower vases at every corner to make the room fragrant and beautiful.

  " Grandmother, how did you like the arrangements?" Zhao Ming asked nervously while looking at Shuren with her eager gaze.

  Grandmother Shuren looked at her amusingly and smiled while nodding her head, " It's better than my expectations. You decorated this room?"

  Zhao Ming nodded repeatedly like a happy puppy.

  Lu shi: "-_-"

  Ji Cheng: "-_-"

  They were speechless seeing the way she was acting. Lu shi felt goosebumps all over her body seeing Zhao Ming acting like this.

  Zhao Ming has decorated the room according to her taste but was afraid that Shuren might not like it.

  Since in this world, they don't have room freshers, flowers are the best to keep the room fragrant.?She was glad that Grandmother Shuren likes the arrangements and was pleased by her work.

  Shuren sat on the chair in the room and looked at Zhao Ming with a subtle smile.

  " Give me my pouch," she said to her maid who was standing on the side.

  The maid handed her the pouch she was holding.

  Shuren pulled out a huge ring from her pouch and stretched her hand towards Zhao Ming and said, " Here. This is your gift. Since I met you for the first time, I should give you something as a gift. Also, you did well with the arrangements."

  Zhao Ming smiled humbly as she took the ring from Shuren but her expressions changed when she took the ring.

  It was not just a normal ring.

  The ring was quite heavy and was adorned with different precious rare gems. Generally, the rings are made of only one or two kinds of gems in this world. However, this ring was embellished with different gems which enhanced the beauty of this ring and made it large and colorful.
