Ji Cheng, who was coming back to the palace from the royal court, saw Zhao Ming standing in the garden and walked towards her. Zhao Ming had her arms folded in front of her chest and was staring at the father and daughter duo with a smirk on her lips. She was speechless seeing their shamelessness and how come they always come to take trouble with her.
He glanced at Xiao Li and her father who had already walked in the other direction and said as he reached near her, " What happened? Did they say something?"
Zhao Ming turned to him and shook her head, " They did say something but I was not mute either. I said many things as well, so I think we are equal." She said casually and shrugged her shoulders.
He chuckled seeing her meaningful laugh. There is no doubt she would have remained quiet if they had said something. If this was the previous Zhao Ming then he would have been worried, thinking that she would have been wronged in any way.
But since she has woken up from the coma, she has challenged everyone who dared to look down on her. Now he can be sure that she can protect herself, and not only herself but, others as well.
" Are you done with the court session for today?" She asked seeing that he was back so early.
He nodded and as they walked towards the palace, he said, " There wasn't much work, so I decided to accompany you today." He rubbed her back affectionately. It's been so long since they have spent some time together. He has been busy with work since Ji Zhelan went back and he has removed his grandfather from his position.
She nodded and was thinking about Shen Jia's words when something hit her. She suddenly stopped in her steps and turned to him as she looked at his dark eyes with her glittering bright eyes.
He was surprised and raised his brows seeing her making such a face and asked, " What? Do you have something to say?"
She nodded urgently and said, " I need your help."
" Help? What kind of help?" He was confused hearing her words and wondered what kind of help she needed from him.
She pursed her lips and said, "Erm...I met Aunt Shen Jia this morning. She has told me that I am too weak, that's why I get sick frequently. So she has asked me to increase my immunity and strength. She has asked me to train my body."
He frowned and asked, " Sick? Zhao Ming, are you sick anywhere? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He thought that she went to see her because she was sick.
She shook her head and said, " That's not it. After waking up from the coma, my body has become too weak. You know I can't do anything like before, so she has asked me to train my body to increase my strength."
He nodded in agreement. She has become too frail and weak when it comes to her physical strength. She can't even stay conscious only after their one round in the bed.
Seeing his expressions she smiled and said, " So...I want you to help me train me." She thought that she might appear suspicious because the real Zhao Ming knows martial arts whereas she has never even done pilates. She hesitated before saying, "I...I would have done it myself, but...since the father is not there anymore, I don't know how to start. In the past, he was the one who had trained me and after waking up, I can't do anything right. So….will you help me?" She leaned closer and looked into his eyes expectantly.
He pursed his lips when he heard her words. A pang of guilt filled his heart when he heard her talking about her father. Zhao Bai's death is like a thorn in his heart which he cannot remove. He stared at her trying to read her thoughts but from her expressions, it didn't look like she was sad in any way. He relaxed seeing that she was not upset at this moment.
He sighed and nodded, " If I don't help my wife then who will? Let's go." He said as he pulled her towards their chamber.
She was shocked as she stared at him in surprise, " WHAT? Today?"
He nodded, " It's better to start from today. There is no reason to waste any more time. The training will not strengthen your body but will strengthen your inner energy as well. This way, you... won't faint easily in bed." He leaned closer and said s.e.xily near her ears in a low voice, causing the hair on her body to rise.
…..
After an hour, they were standing outside the stable. Zhao Ming has changed into blue-colored pants and an upper robe which was designed in a way, which will not hinder her training. It was Ji Cheng's outfit, but he asked her to wear it, as it will be more comfortable for training and will not restrict her training.
Zhao Ming doesn't have her training clothes with her at the palace, because she used to train before marriage. She sometimes did practice secretly in the chamber, but when she had a big argument with Wen Xu before, she burnt those clothes.
Sigh. Wen Xu was such a bitchy mother in law to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming tied her long hair in a high ponytail and was staring at the black colored large horse whose fur was shinier than her skin. Her mouth was slightly parted as she stared at the horse in daze and shock.
The horse has a big build and a masculine structure. There is no doubt, that she has never seen such a beautiful and handsome horse in her whole life. However, this beautiful creature looked like a monster to her which is ready to swallow her whole.
She thought that they will do some exercise and running and done. Why the hell they need to go on a horse?
Ji Cheng has said they will not be doing the training at the palace but somewhere else. Since the consorts are not allowed to indulge in any kind of physical activity like this, he doesn't want people to talk about her. He can stop their mouth but he doesn't want her to get hurt with their poisonous words.
Her expressions turned pale because until now, she has only traveled in horse carriages. Horses don't look that scary when they are attached to a carriage. She doesn't feel scared while sitting in the carriage however, the thought of riding on a horse was making her tremble.
Zhao Ming might be good at horse riding, but she was a scaredy-cat when it comes to horse riding. In her school trip, she fell badly from the horse when she decided to ride it after her friends persuaded her.
She was hella scared of this large creature which never goes the way where she wants him to go. She stared at the horse as if he was her enemy in her last life and pursed her lips in reluctance.
"-_-"
Ji Cheng who was standing beside her stared at her speechlessly. She was staring at the horse for 15 minutes now.
" Are you planning to spend the whole day while staring at him?" he said sarcastically seeing the way she was staring at the horse. Doesn't she like horses? Then why is she acting like this?
