Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 165 - A Glass Of Milk.

Ji Dynasty.

After the banquet, Zhao Ming was tired by all the greetings and smiling all day long.

It was so hard for her to smile all the time at all those people, whom she doesn't even know.

And the women mostly shows her attitude and behave like she has taken something from them.

She can't understand what was their problem? Some people just hate others for no reason.

After being working the whole day, she was hell tired.

For her, it was like a work. In the morning she was learning palace etiquette for the banquet and at night, she was putting her learning in practice.

She returned with Lu shi to her chamber after the performance.

Though the banquet didn't ended yet as there were some other performances and they have to meet some other important guests.

But she excused herself from the further drama by pretended to be tired and dizzy.

Ji Cheng wanted to personally come with her and wanted to call the ' doctor' for her but she denied him and went back to Lu shi.

She just cannot understand the relationship between him and the doctor.

..

When she entered the Chamber, she clumsily tossed her shoes in different corners of her room and walked lazily towards her bed.

As she reached her bed, which was in the center of the inner Chamber and had a beautiful canopy covered by white-colored cloth over it, giving it a princess bed look.

Though it's for the Empress.

But the favorite thing in this chamber of Zhao Ming, is the bed.

She spends most of her time on it.

So when she entered her room, she went over it hurriedly throwing her shoes here and there. She jumped and thrown her lifeless body on the bed.

She fell on her back on the bed and stared at the center of the canopy over her bed.

She just randomly stared at it without any thoughts. She was too tired to think about anything right now.

Whereas Lu shi was picking up the shoes that see has thrown here and there.

After picking up the shoes, she looked at Zhao Ming and sighed.

As she was looking at Zhao Ming, she heard a knock on the door.

She looked at the door, and asked without opening it, " Who is it?"

The voice comes from the other side of the door, " It's us. We brought milk for the Miss."

It was the two maids of Zhao Ming appointed by Ji Cheng.

Zhao Ming raised her eyebrows when she heard their voice and turned to look towards the door, while Lu shi went over and opened the door.

The girls entered the room and came towards Zhao Ming.

Seeing the glass of Milk in their hands, Zhao Ming sat up on the bed and looked at them lazily.

" Why did you bring this milk? I never asked for this?" Zhao Ming asked them while frowning at the glass of milk.

She never liked milk from her childhood especially the plain milk.

Her mother will always run behind her with a glass of milk in her hands, but she never drinks it.

She doesn't like its smell.

The girls looked at each other before answering and then said, " Miss, it was his highness who asked us to send you this glass of milk. He said that you didn't eat properly at the dinner, so he sent this glass of milk for you to drink."

They said while handing it over to her.

She didn't hold it, so Lu shi came forward and held it for her.

Lu shi signaled the girls to go back to rest and that she will stay with Zhao Ming.

The girls nodded and greeted Zhao Ming before going back.

Zhao Ming didn't glance at them instead of frowned seeing the glass of Milk in Lu shi's hands.

Lu shi saw her gaze and said, " His highness is so caring. He even knows that you didn't eat much at dinner so he sent a glass of milk for you. You should drink this, and thank his highness tomorrow." she said while handing the glass to her.

She was praising Ji Cheng in front of Zhao Ming. She wants their relationship to get better.

She noticed that after waking up from the coma, Zhao Ming doesn't talk much about Ji Cheng nor gives him any attention.

She thought that it was because she lost memories and her love for him has faded away.

So she was trying to be the cupid between them and let her accept Ji Cheng's heart for her when he was trying hard to win over her again.

But Zhao Ming instead sided away the glass by pushing it away with her hands.

She looked at the glass of milk with a frown and said, " Who said I didn't eat properly? I think I ate more than enough. I couldn't eat even better than that."

" If I drink this milk now, I will definitely get sick due to overeating. Was he being caring or trying to kill me because of overeating?"

" Or was it Xiao Li or Wen Xu trying to make me fat and take my position as the Empress," she said while narrowing her gaze and putting her hand on her chin looking in deep thought.

Lu Shi:" -_- "

Lu shi looked at Zhao Ming who was making interpretations that have no sense of it.

She was trying to make her realize his majesty's heart for her but she was going on the wrong track.

' Why my optimist Miss became so negative? How can she finds fault with just a glass of milk?'

Lu shi took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Ming and said, " Miss, its nothing like that. Don't think too much, just drink this milk." she passed the milk to her.

But she didn't hold it and said, " I don't want it. I don't like milk. You drink it." she said without looking at it.

Lu shi was dumbstruck.

She wanted to let her drink her the milk sent by his majesty for her. Was she trying to get her killed? It's for her, how could she drink it?

She looked at Zhao Ming with helpless eyes and said" Miss, I can't drink this. It's for you, so you have to drink it. "

Zhao Ming looked at her and narrowed her eyes," Hmm. It's for me, right? But I don't want it, is there any punishment if I didn't drink this? If yes, then I will accept the punishment, but I will not drink this milk. I hate it. " she said straightly.

Lu shi looked at her dumbfoundedly.

' Nobody has said that they will rather accept the punishment than drinking milk.'

" Miss, there is no punishment. But his majesty has sent this with so much love. Is it polite to not drink this?" she tried to reason with her.

Zhao Ming raised her eyebrows at her and said, " Did he always eat and drink everything I sent for him before? Was he always polite to me? If yes, then I will drink it. And if not, then don't say anything again. " she said as a matter of fact.

Though she doesn't know much, but she remembered enough to know that the relationship between Ji Cheng and Zhao Ming was not good.

There seems to be some misunderstanding as much she could understand the situation.

But she will do anything to not drink this milk. Even if she has to go against the Emperor itself.

Lu shi looked at her with opened mouth. She wanted to say something but no words came out.

She sighed and didn't force her again to drink this milk.

Because in the past, Ji Cheng was never polite to her. She will wait a whole day for his glimpse but he never even looked at her.

He was always busy in his palace work. She would even wait outside his study to saw him at least but never got the chance to do so.

As she saw Xiao Li many times in his study room when he doesn't come to her room.

She felt dejected and cries in her room alone.

It's not easy to share someone you love so dearly and not expect anything in return.

She didn't ask much. She only wanted his love and a little time for her.

' Was that too hard to give her'. Lu shi thought about the things Zhao Ming has gone through.

She sighed and said, " I'll take this milk away." she bowed a little and turned to leave.

Zhao Ming smiled hearing her answer and said happily, " Okay. Take your time." she laughed lightly as she dangled her legs on the bed and stared at the back of Lu shi and smiled evilly.

' Didn't I say before, that nobody can make me do that I don't want to do.'
