Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1476 A Parent Bluffing Their Child.





Li Xue turned to look towards the door and her lips curved deeper, finding her family standing there for her. 

Feng Yi Lan was still in her figure but due to pregnancy a small protruding belly could be seen. When her eyes matched Li Xue's, she smiled and repeated, "You will make the best Princess of the country. I trust you."

Saying that she walked inside and added, "After all, how can you not? Princesses are known for their beauty, bravery and wit. For bravery and wit, no one can ever doubt you. And for beauty, …" She paused I her words as she looked at Li Xue top to toe before circling around her to complete her earlier unsaid words. "Tell me, which era has actually seen a princess as beautiful as you?"

"My Mama is the best" WeiWei chimed before Li Xue could even ask Feng Yi Lan to cut her exaggeration. 

Feng Yi Lan looked down at the little one and nodded. "Correct! So, there will simply be no match for you."

Li Xue was about to shake her head but at that same game Chen Rui also walked in with Shin Tingming to support. "That's right, dear. Don't be nervous about anything. You will do great and we all know that. Furthermore, what's there to worry about, your father and I will always be there to help you."

"Exactly!" Shin You Jun interjected to show her contribution as well. "I am also there. When you have such a dependable brother, what's there to fear about?"

He said and everyone gave him a look of surprise which turned his expression a bit sour. "What? Are you guys doubting that? Don't forget I have been trained to handle royal affairs. I can definitely be a great help when time comes. Don't look down at me now."

Li Xue chuckled at his confidence but then patted his shoulders to agree. "You will be a great asset on my side. How can I look down on you? Don't worry, I will use every drop of your blood to keep myself alive here in politics."

She said and everyone in the room turned silent all of a sudden. Shin You Jun looked at everyone and tried to comprehend her words. But for some reason in his oblivion, they avoided looking back at him.  And without any of their help iit took some time for him to understands what she actually meant, and when he did, his eyes widened in accusation.

"You … you …" He pointed his forefinger at her and Li Xue raised her brows at him. 

"What? Didn't you say that you are willing to help me? Then why are you surprised now?" She asked. "Don't tell me that you were simply talking on a whim?" 

"I am the prince. I never talk on whim. Whatever I say I mean it. But helping you never meant that I would shred myself for you. My blood was hard to build, I am not going to waste it until it's worth it." He said and no one there was able to hold their chuckle any longer. 

As everyone burst into a big laughter, Shin You Jun looked at Li Xue in befuddlement who also chuckled, breaking her earlier mask of seriousness.

"What?" Shin You Jun asked and Li Xue shook her head at her. 

"Nothing. And don't worry, I assure you that not a single hint of your blood will be wasted uselessly. After all, you are the prince and your every word and drop of blood of your blood counts." She said and before Shin You Jun could say more, a knock at the door interrupted him. 

"Your Majesty! It's almost time. People will be looking for your appearance soon." 

Everyone turned to see the butler at the door. And it was then they realized that the ceremony is yet there to be performed. 

Shin Tinming checked the time on his watch and noting the time on it he nodded. "We will be soon there. Ask them to keep the arrangements ready." He said and the old butler nodded to the orders before bowing her head and leaving to fulfill them. 

Once he was gone, Shin Tingming turned to look at Chen Rui, who in turn nodded to him. Then turning to look back at Li Xue, she said, "Dear, it's already time. Don't think too much. Get ready, soon the maids of honor will be coming to get you." 

Li Xue nodded. And Chen Rui smiled at her before taking a step closer to her and reaching out to hold her hands in hers. "Sweetheart, you will do great. We just do not believe that, rather we know it for sure. So, don't let your nervousness get the best of you. Okay?" 

Li Xue nodded. She was no longer nervous but there was something in her stomach giving her the butterflies. 

"Wait! Weren't we in between an important conversation?" Shin You Jun felt like everyone had forgotten a very important topic. He was ready to remind everyone about it and carry forward their discussion, but before he could Chen Rui pursed her lips at him and tugged on his hands, gripping lightly on his wrist. "That's enough, You Jun. Your important conversation can wait. At the moment the royal ceremony is more important and since this is an important day for your sister, don't exhaust her with your irrelevant talks." 

She said and Shin You Jun eyes turned big at her mother as if she had grown three head. "Although I accept that sometimes I talk irrelevant to her, Ma, but how can you say that I exhaust her when every time, she is the one troubling me with trappy talks.  You know how much strengths and wits I require every time to tackle with her thrown word traps?" 

Chen Rui didn't know how to handle her son at the moment. So, to coax him, she simply took the simplest way. She patted his hands as if she was in his favor and said, "Fine, I understand you. Don't worry, I will talk to her later once the ceremony is done. For now, let's just go and support her. Okay?" 

She said and then before Shin You Jun could say anything further, Chen Rui turned to give Shin Tinming a small signal and pulled her son out with them. The scene was nothing less than a parent bluffing their child into believing them. 

Li Xue wanted to smile at that but at that moment, Feng Yi Lan came to pat her shoulders before taking WeiWei out of the room along with her. Only when everyone left Li Xue realized a silent presence in the room that she had almost forgotten earlier.

"Don't you have something to say to me?"
