Chapter 373 - Sigh! Daughters Are Good To Have Around.
"Your Highness! The doctor just informed, the operation was successful and the bullet has already been removed." The old butler informed as he came in after having words with the doctor.
The Queen gently nodded in affirmation but when caught the complicated expression on the face of the aged butler, she asked, "Mr Cao, is there something else you have to say?"
The butler was not surprised. This was one of the facets the Queen has developed in her personality after the long year practice. She could easily read through anyone's expressions.
"Your Highness, we really owe the lady a gesture of great gratitude for the help she had done to the Royal family today. The doctor has said that His Highness' body has readily accepted her blood which has advanced the effects of their treatment on him" The old butler paused for a second as he retrieved a note of paper from his pocket to forward it in the hands of the Queen.
"This is the piece of the note she left with the nurse to relay it to His Majesty, but she has also asked to forward it all according to the royal procedure". He added.
The woman raised her brows at the small paper as she took the note in her hands to unfold it. Her lips curled to give the smile as she read the words written in the paper.
HIS MAJESTY, MAY YOU GET WELL SOON!
"The Heaven has really been biased to pair the Angel with the Devil!" she lamented but her tone was far from the feeling she was trying to present rather she looked happy for someone's fortune. "But then again it is well said that no one else but only a Devil can love the Angel with a true heart!"
The curl of her lips was having some satisfaction, but then her eyes caught the attraction of the royal maroon brocade box. Instead of bringing a scowl of offence, the arch of her lips only deepened to give a smile of contentment. "He has not changed yet. His level of childishness is still unique and over the question. I am again impressed by his attitude". She said with a tone of profoundness and the bodyguard standing behind gritted his teeth with some envy, though there was no comparison.
Pulling his wrist up, he looked at his watch as breathed out a deep tiresome breath. "Finally!" he worded out but it wasn't intended to convey to anyone around rather it was more to realize his own freedom. The butler too looked at the young man but then looking at the wall clock in the room he understood the reason.
Taking the formal suit jacket off, Shin You Jun handed it over to the butler. Then loosening the top two buttons of his shirt, he went to fold the sleeves up till his elbow. And just like that, within a few seconds, his look was transformed into something that no one would have thought of before.
Taking his steps forward, he went to directly take his seat next to the Queen as he complained, "Mama, that's really not fair. How could you praise someone else when you have your own son standing behind you? Can't you consider my feelings?"
The woman looked at his son and could only shake her head. But being all rational, she said, "When I said those words, my son was not present here. I was only having a royal butler and a novice bodyguard around."
"Mama, I …", Shin You Jun felt offended. But before he could state his thoughts out, his mother added more of her words, without heeding any attention to the sullen expression he had plastered over his face.
"And even if he was here, I would have still not hesitated to say the truth. Why? Do you feel that you could become any comparison to Feng Shufen?" She asked, knowing all accurately that in no way her son could be positive about it. When got his silence, she smiled and confirmed the positivity of his negative thoughts.
"You are right, my son! In no way you could become his comparison, not like I am blaming you for it. It will be all fine till you keep learning from his good points. Being jealous is not right, rather instead of jealous one should have admiration in their eyes. When jealousy will provoke to pull someone down, admiration will give you the strength to rise for better!"
Silence fell in the room as the mother gave her son the time to ponder over the words, she has explained to him. A moment later, she turned to look back at the butler, who was still standing behind and said, "Mr Cao, help me look after this girl for better. Though I know with FenFen around, she would not be needing any other's help yet I won't want to see her in any kind of trouble later. She is really a good child"
The butler nodded, noting the order.
"And also …" The Queen's words halted him as she continued, "Help me investigate that girl's background too. Something is making me go curious about her".
The old butler again nodded as he said, "I will do, Your Highness!"
Without the Queen's knowledge, her heart was growing fond of Li Xue. The more she thought of her, the more she liked her. Her ways were so likeable and so worthy of praises.
No doubt she was sweet with her words in front of her but she never tried to hide the sharpness she held in her heart. As if she was ready to combat her aura with the one the Queen presented to her but then backed out to not offend her. It was not out of fear but out of respect. Something that was rare! Something she wanted in her daughter … a daughter that she never had in her life.
Sigh! Daughters are good to have around. Only if she also had one to enjoy around with.
But it was fine too … her eyes went to stare at her stubborn son, who never leaves a single opportunity to stir the trouble around. 'But it's fine to have a troublesome son too!', she slightly lamented internally on her good fortune that seems incomplete without having a precious daughter in her beautiful family.
Standing up, she put the pleats of her dress properly and then said, "Since His Majesty is all fine now, I would like to spend my time beside him. Mr Cao, please help me arrange it".
