Eternal Love: A Love Story Chapter 458 – Harem Meeting (11)

” I’ll do it.” 

Xiao Li was trying to make Zhao Ming appoint Xie Mei as the Head Consort in her absence but before she could even complete her words, Jia shi interrupted her words. 

Xiao Li was stunned when she heard Jia shi’s words. 

Jia Shi doesn’t talk to many people and Xiao Li doesn’t like her either because unlike other consorts she never compliments her nor follows her like Xie Mei.

That’s why they never talked before. However, just now she agreed to Zhao Ming’s words, which means she has decided her side already. 

…. 

” Empress Zhao Ming, if you think that I am suitable for this position, then I am willing to take it. I will do my best to help you manage the harem.” Jia shi looked at Zhao Ming determinedly. 

Zhao Ming smiled,liking her attitude, she said. ” That’s the spirit. So it’s final from now on Consort Jia Shi will be the Head Consort of Ji Dynasty. ” Zhao Ming said as she looked at everyone. 

” Consort Jia Shi, later I will send you the official letter regarding the confirmation about your position as the Head Consort. ” Zhao Ming said with a satisfied smile.

Everyone’s expressions become sour because they came to enjoy the drama where they were expecting to see Zhao Ming being humiliated but things didn’t go as they were expecting.

Not only Wen Xu and Xiao Li failed to suppress Zhao Ming but in the end, they became the joke in front of everyone.

Xie Mei pursed her lips because Zhao Ming completely disregarded Xiao Li and Wen Xu’s words and made Jia shi the Head Consort.

” Empress Zhao Ming, don’t you think that what you’re doing is wrong? This was the harem meeting, where you should have discussed things with us and then made any decision. But you not only discussed things with us but doing everything according to your will.” Xie Mei mustered up her courage and spoke while clenching her fists.

She was hoping to become the head consort in replacement of Xiao Li but Zhao Ming didn’t even look at her. Her status is higher than Jia Shi yet she became the head consort.

Zhao Ming raised her brows and looked at Xie Mei in amus.e.m.e.nt.

‘ She is still stuck at this thing. Why does she keep repeating the same things?’ she shook her head in helplessness.

” Empress Zhao Ming, you know that I am more suitable for being the head consort in the absence of sister Xiao Li. I not only have a higher status than sister Jia Shi but also have a good relationship with everyone in the palace. Is it fair for you to make her the Head Consort? Isn’t this unfair to me?”

Zhao Ming snickered and replied while looking at Xie Mei as if she is looking at a fool, ” Consort Xie Mei , you think it is unfair? Really? Now when you said this , then let me tell you why I didn’t make you the Head Consort.” Zhao Ming straightened her back and leaned forward with her hand clasped on the table.

Xie Mei frowned when she saw Zhao Ming fixing her posture and getting ready to say something. At this point, her heart skipped a beat as she felt afraid that she might say something more humiliating.

” Consort Xie Mei, will you tell me when you arrived for this meeting? Did you come on time or you were late? ” 

Xie Mei pursed her lips and said, ” Empress Zhao Ming, what does it have to do with this? You’re just trying to hide your wrong doings.” 

” I asked were you late for the meeting or not? Just give me an answer in Yes or No. I don’t want to hear anything else.” 

” I..I was a little late. But I was busy. And don’t tell me that this was your reason for not making me the head consort?” Xie Mei snorted as she felt that Zhao Ming was giving ridiculous excuses.

” First of all, you were not a little late but almost an hour. Also, you were not only late, but you were rude to me as you didn’t even apologize for being late or tried to explain why you were late. Adding to that, you keep gossiping to other consorts before the meeting. ”

” You know there is a huge difference between you and Consort Jia Shi. She also came late but it was only five minutes yet she apologized to me as soon as she arrived. She was polite and didn’t make a fuss like you for not starting the meeting while she had to wait for long. ”

” Why would I make someone Head consort who is not punctual and had made me wait for them almost an hour. I would be stupid if I did that.” Zhao Ming shrugged her shoulders as she casually said this.

” Why will I make someone as ignorant and rude as you the Head Consort? Consort Xie Mei, I need someone to work with me and follow my orders properly so that work can be done smoothly. However, I know if I would have appointed you as the head consort, I would have only taken more trouble in my hand. Because you won’t be any help to me at all.” Zhao Ming said while looking at Xie Mei without even blinking her eyes.

” You…!” Xie Mei’s eyes widened in shock as she tried to control her urge to cry.

….

Zhao Ming felt so annoyed thinking that this girl has no self awareness and want to become the Head Consort?

Why would she appoint her as the Head Consort? Can’t she see that she hates her? Then why would she give her this position? 

Xie Mei was dumbfounded when she heard Zhao Ming’s cruel and harsh words. She was extremely straightforward and rejected her ruthlessly.

“Pfft”… Xue Lang who was sitting beside Xie Mei couldn’t hold herself anymore and chuckled when she heard Zhao Ming’s cruel words.

” Ouch.” Xue Lang cried out when Jia Shi pinched her waist.

Xue Lang looked up with her eyes welled up with tears but her expressions froze when she saw that everyone was staring at her.

They all heard her chuckling and were now giving her death glare.

She felt Xie Mei staring at her in anger. She looked extremely angry and humiliated.

Xue Lang pursed her lips and held her head down as she was afraid that Wen Xu would punish her.

Zhao Ming smiled seeing the adorable actions of the girl. 

‘ Aww, I want to pinch her cheeks.’ Zhao Ming really wanted to pinch Xue Lang’s chubby cheeks. She is slim but has a baby face with chubby cheeks which made her more adorable.

” Consort Xie Mei, now did you get your answer or do you have any other questions as well? Zhao Ming asked as she shifted her attention to Xie Mei.

Xie Mei pursed her lips and held her head down. She didn’t say anything and kept biting her lower lip to control herself from crying in front of everyone.

Zhao Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, ” Then if no one has anymore questions, then should we end this meeting here?”
