Chapter 1474 The next week is decided for the ceremony.
"Mama!" WeiWei called out cheerfully as she got up from the seat and rushed to hug her mother. "Mama, how was your day? Did you win your day?"
Li Xue smiled at her little one's pretty face. Then getting down on her knees, she kissed her cheeks adoringly and hummed. "Yep, sweetie. In the morning you wished me luck. Of course, the day has to be great."
Little WeiWei's eyes shone like those twinkles in the night sky but then as if remembering something, she paused and turned to point her fingers upstairs. "Mama, MingMing is asleep. Upstairs. Since LaoLao needed WeiWei's help, I came down with her. But before coming down, I gave all the instructions to the care-lady. She said has will take the good care of him."
She said and Li Xue patted her cheeks lightly. "I know sweetie. You will always take the best care of him. Mama can never doubt that." She said appreciatively and then added, "But sweetie, I need you to help me with one more thing now. Will you?"
Without taking another second, WeiWei nodded in agreement. "WeiWei will do everything Mama will ask her to do. She loves to help and assist Mama in her work."
"I know sweetie. And believe me you are the best helper for me. I can get no one better than you. You are the best convincer. And that's why, now Mama wants you to go and convince everyone to come to the dinner table as soon as possible. It's already time for dinner. We should always have dinner at time." Li Xue said and nodding, Weiwei replied.
"Then Mama, WeiWei will go and call little-belittle Uncle first and then I will go to call Laoye." She said and seeing her mother nod at her in agreement with her plans, the little one nodded as well and took her turn to leave.
When she was no longer in sight, Li Xue turned to look at her mother and slowly stood up to her feet. "Ma, my intention was not to disrespect you. What I intend to say is that I don't want her to feel pressured with these things. Her little mind is already thinking a lot these days because of the way she is getting taught by her father."
She reasoned her interruption before and just then Feng Shufen entered the living hall, hearing only the last part of her words. He didn't know what the two ladies were talking about. And even knowing he was one of the subjects in their conversation, he didn't probe to know more.
Li Xue just gave him a nonchalant look and that was enough for him to know that it was nothing to be worried about.
Li Xue turned back to Chen Rui and continued, "And now thinking that she might be the one taking the crown tomorrow will be something big again. Her innocent understanding will make her excited for it now but then in future she will feel nothing but bending with burdens and responsibilities."
Chen Rui understood Li Xue but she was not ready to negotiate it on those terms. "I understand your concern, Xiao Xue. But a royal lady can be anything but scared of her burdens. Especially you dear. You are going to be the Queen tomorrow."
"Ma, I will be the queen tomorrow, I know and I agree to take responsibility. But WeiWei need not to be burdened with that. Also, it's not like only I am your daughter, don't forget you also have a son." She said, gesturing to her to look at Shin You Jun who entered the living room along with WeiWei.
He heard his name but he was clueless about the content. So, jutting her brows with confusion, he looked between the two women and asked, "What? What do I require to do?"
While Li Xue controlled her chuckle at his oblivion, Chen Rui pursed her lips before giving a disappointed look to Li Xue. She would have said something to convince her but just then Shin Tingming came in, interjecting his words to keep the peace.
"Future decision are the liabilities meant to be dealt with in future. There is no need to bother the present in its effect." He said before looking at his wife who gave him a sulky look in return. Just a look at her and Shin Tingming knew it. So, turning to look at Li Xue, he said diplomatically.
"Xiao Xue, burdening little WeiWei with royal responsibilities were not the plans of your mother. She simply wants both of her children to enjoy the legacy of the royals and it continues for generations. And I even agree with that. Be it You Jun's children or yours, they will take the titles of the royals as they grow up. Even if little WeiWei doesn't take the crown in future, she will still hold the title of Princess under the title of royals. This won't be an option for her but a rule that royal blood has to follow. They can't abdicate it."
He said and Li Xue pressed her lips together. She understood what her father made her understand, still she was not satisfied with it. But then again as it has always said, crown just don't confirm the power but also the rules and responsibilities that come with it. Whether you like it or not, you have to follow it.
Nodding, she agreed. Feng Shufen reached out to hold her hands down. When she felt his hold, Li Xue turned to look at him and his eyes held the assurance that she smiled back at. She knew he would never let them get forced into anything. That was the promise that he had always promised them.
"Pa, you are right, let's not discuss the future now. WeiWei is still too young now. Let's get our dinner first. I have already made you all wait this long." She said, and before taking an initiative to walk in the direction of the dining hall with everyone. As planned earlier, it was all set. Mr. Cao stood on the side with the maids who were ready to serve the dinner once every one is settled at the table.
Shin Tinming took the chair first and then gestured to everyone to take the seat as well. "Let's eat first and then we will discuss about the ceremony of the next week." He said and Li Xue looked at him with surprise.
"Next week? Is the date decided?" she asked and from the side Chen Rui hummed, nodding at her.
"Yes, after discussing with everyone, the ceremony of coronation is set for the next week."
