Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 287
The early morning wind blew through the high towers of the Golden Palace, bringing the scent of the morning dew and fresh greenery along with it.
“Congratulations for breaking through to the first level of Divine Cultivator Rank,” Ruoshan said with a proud smile on his face as he planted a soft kiss on his mate’s temple.
Li Ming smiled softly before she looked at the others who were also moving towards where she was standing with the Evernight Lord.
“I succeeded in breaking through the third level of Prime Cultivator rank all because of you guys. You all spend the entire night helping me in my cultivation. Thank you!”
She was genuinely thankful towards all of them and the way they cared for her. It made her filled with warmth and a lot of love.
“Anything for you, Little One.” Lord Yueliang whispered in her ear as he came to plant a feathery kiss on her forehead.
She loved their ways of showing affection. They treated her like she was the most precious person that they had in their lives.
“Alright! I’ll pay a visit to the Empress Dowager before leaving with Zhang. See you guys in the Demon Realm later today.”
She informed them as she gave each of her mates a quick hug. They all had decided to visit the Second Demon Prince’s palace during the afternoon.
And in the meanwhile, Li Ming was planning to use some ancient magic spells to learn about the black mist.
She and Zhang Yong took their leave as the two of them headed towards the West Wing where they were staying at the moment.
Li Ming did not waste too much time as she hurriedly took a bath, put on a light green dress with her long hair styled simply with a single jade hairpin.
She still ended up wearing her heels since she loved the boost that those heels gave to her height.
After putting on simple makeup, she met the Forth Prince as they headed towards the courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived.
As they entered the courtyard, Li Ming noticed the hundreds of Cherry Blossom trees that were filling the scenery.
The ground was covered with the beautiful flowers while the air was filled with its fragrance.
“Wow!”
She could not help but be in awe of the beauty that greeted her eyes.
A group of maids was standing near the fountain that stood in the center of the front lawn.
“Your Highness, Her Grace the Empress Dowager is waiting for you in the back garden. This way…”
The elder woman who was leading the team of the maids greeted them.
Li Ming smiled softly as she and her bondmate followed the woman towards the road that led them to the back garden.
Being referred to as a part of the royals was still new for her in this world. She needed time to adjust to her new identity as the Immortal of Thunder and…the future queen of the Immortal World.
A sigh left her lips as she realized that these new positions had brought new duties with them.
She was going to be hella busier in the future, that was for sure!
Her eyes landed on the pond which was filled with various colored lotus flowers. She even spotted lilies and another water flower that she could not recognize.
Standing at the edge of the pond was a beautiful pavilion crafted with white marbles and golden gemstones, making it sparkles as the morning sunlight fell upon it.
The figure in dark blue royal robes who was sitting under the pavilion while enjoying her morning tea made Li Ming halt in her steps for a second.
Zhang Yong tugged at her to make her start moving again.
Goodness! She was about to meet her future mother-in-law once again. Moreover, this time it would almost be a one-to-one conversation.
“Your Grace, Her Highness Immortal Ming, and the Shadow Lord are here.”
The elder maid notified the Empress Dowager before she moved aside to make way for the two of them to enter into the pavilion.
Both Li Ming and Zhang Yong bowed to greet the Empress Dowager before the woman hurriedly made them sit.
Li Ming felt her heart bursting out when the woman pulled her hand to make her sit right next to her.
“Your Grace….”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was cut off by the older woman who was looking satisfied for some unknown reasons.
“What Grace? You don’t have to be so formal with me. Just call me Mother and you will make me feel so happy. Look! Even dear Zhang calls me mother. Even all of your mates call me mother.”
Empress Dowager emphasized the importance of the matter as she waited for her daughter-in-law to finally call her mother.
Li Ming looked at the Shadow Lord who immediately nodded his head.
What else she could do than beating the order of her future mother-in-law?
Hence, she took in a soft but deep breath as she replied, “Yes, Mother.”
“Hoho! My daughter-in-law is so beautiful and filial. She knows how to make her mother-in-law happy. Very good. Hurry, pour tea for my beautiful daughter.”
The current Empress Dowager looked complete opposite to the one that Li Ming met the day before at the banquet.
The cold and calm aura that she held during the banquet was nowhere to be seen and all that she could see was a happy and excited woman who was filled with joy after meeting her future daughter-in-law.
A small smile appeared on Li Ming’s lips as she stopped the maid in order to serve the tea to her mother-in-law with her own hands.
The older woman smiled as she looked at the young lady in front of her. She was so happy for her sons. They had waited for so long but as she looked at their future bride, she knew that their wait was worth it!
