Chương 138: Banquet ( 5) Edited

As Xiao Li represented her gift, everyone was praising her for being filial. 

The rare jade stone was one of the famous treasures of L country which she has gifted to Wen Xu. 

Everyone was also praising, her father for his loyalty towards the king. He had given his country's treasure, to the Empress Dowager in gift. 

Xiao Li's father who was present there came forward and bowed slightly in greeting towards the Empress Dowager. 

Wen Xu also responded to their greeting by nodding at them.

After that, Xiao Li turned towards Ji Cheng and looked at him and gave him, her most innocent smile. 

' Wow, so she robed her father's treasure just to impress this old hag? She's really one of a kind. ' Zhao Ming scoffed inwardly. 

Ji Cheng looked at Zhao Ming and noticed her unhappy look. He thought, that she was jealous that Xiao Li was being praised like this. 

Xiao Li slightly bowed in front of Ji Cheng, and he nodded at her in acknowledgment.
