Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The next day, Feng Shufen has gone out to discuss something with Gao Fan. Li Xue was getting ready in the morning, applying ointment on her skin near the would when WeiWei came running to her with curiosity. "Mama, why do we have so many clothes here? WeiWei just check the wardrobe and there are many new dresses hung there. Are they for us?"

Li Xue looked around to see her baby first before looking at the wardrobe in the distance. Last night, she had not checked but in the morning when she looked around, she was as well surprised to find so many clothes hung for them here. But she was not sure about them. Maybe those clothes were just kept as spare pieces.

"We are not living here sweetie. How could they be for us? They must be for someone …" Li Xue thought to reply accordingly but before she could complete her words a loud hmph paused her in her words.

She, along with WeiWei turned to look at the door only to find the boy standing there with a pricky expression.

"Little Belittle Uncle, why are you humphing like that? Are you upset about something?" Little WeiWei asked, seeing Shin You Jun pout at the door. Her head tilted on both sides to look at the man as if just with the extra tilt of her head she would be able to guess the reason behind her uncle's pout.

Shin You Jun narrowed his eyes at Li Xue first before bringing it down to the little figure with a complaint. "What else should I do, little-kittle? Your mother has got a habit to prick your uncle's nerves every time. I don't want to lash at her since she is sick, so I only controlled my emotions humph inside." He said and Li Xue's brows wrinkled at his words.

"I pricked your nerves? When?" She couldn't understand. Didn't he just come here?

"Yes, you did. Don't pretend to be innocent now." Shin You Jun said before getting inside the room and coming inside to stand just in front of Li Xue. "You deliberately under-praise yourself even knowing that Ma and Pa pamper you more than they pamper me. You just love to show off in front of me to get me jealous. Accept it." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

He said and from his words, Li Xue couldn't get the starting source of their discussion. "What do you mean? What did I do? Don't falsely accuse me." She said and the boy squinted his eyes at her, before taking a domineering step towards her.

"I am falsely accusing you? The clothes in the wardrobe are my witnesses. Go and ask them."

Li Xue pursed her lips at his expression. Unfazed by his domination, she simply pushed him back with her finger. "Don't exaggerate it so much that it loses its meaning. Clothes can't talk, neither they can be a witness. Speak more meaningfully."

The young crown prince was speechless. The domineering aura he tried to build moments goes flew away. "I-I mean evidence. Don't twist my words. I meant those clothes can be my evidence to prove my words. Ma has personally gone to different malls to collect all those pieces for you while for me, she has last ordered Mr. Cao to bring some designs and that was also two and a half years back. Do you know what does that mean? That means she loves you more than me. And you are becoming her favorite now."

"…" Li Xue had nothing to say. Though she wanted to refute the accusation, somewhere in her heart she was really feeling sympathy for the boy. If it had been her in his place, she might also be aggrieved. "I didn't intend to be like that. But maybe my charms are stronger than you."

Shin You Jun was already in complaining mode and when heard Li Xue being arrogant, he couldn't control it. "You …" Ready to complain, he was about to start when a voice from the door restricted him in his tracks.

"You Jun, what are you doing? Your sister is already like this and you are still here troubling her." Shin Tinming who has just arrived at the palace came in hurry to check on Li Xue along with Chen Rui. It was just the last day he has gone to discuss the issue in the next city when Butler Cao informed him what happened with the girl during the practice.

If reaching her that very moment would have been possible, he would have done that but since it wasn't, he took the all-night-long journey to just reach now.

Chen Rui looked at her son and could only shake her head at his attitude before reminding, "You Jun, haven't you rushed here to check on Xiao Xue? You were so worried for her yesterday; how come the first thing you did seeing her is a verbal fight? Is this how you behave?"

"Pa, Ma, I was just talking with her. How was I wrong?" Feeling cornered, Shin You Jun could only defend himself weakly, before sending a glare to Li Xue.

"If that's the way to talk then you need to learn how to talk. I will let Mr. Cao arrange classes for you later." Shin Tinming said and at his orders, the boy opened his mouth to say something but the words were not ready to come out.

Li Xue felt his pain and couldn't contain it. "It was okay, Your Majesty. We were just talking and I am all fine with his way. Don't mind him, please." She said and her words instantly made the man look at her with concern. His eyes paused at her neck to ask.

"I heard yesterday. How is your wound?" He asked. Though there was a bit of awkwardness in his tone, Li Xue could still feel the concern laced in it.

Her lips curled up appreciating his care. "I am fine. It's not hurting anymore now. I am sure soon the wound will be gone as well." She said only to see him nod at her words. But there was something on his expression that still not looked satisfied. Li Xue could see it well on his face but before she could guess more about it, she saw him turn to give someone orders.

"Young Miss has already woken up. Ask the doctors to come and do a check on her." Shin Tinming said and Li Xue was about to reject it, but the maid has already gone to fulfill it. She was late.

Chen Rui, who has been there, seeing the girl could read her expressions and could only smile. "Dear, don't think too much. Even if you have stooped, your father would not have agreed until he, himself, hears the doctor explain everything. So, it's futile to say anything to him." She said and looking at them, Li Xue could only smile, scratching the corner of her brows.

"I guess it will be troublesome for yo … *ahem* I mean troublesome for the doctors."

Right at that moment, a knock at the door interrupted everyone. "Your Majesty! Your Highness!" It was Mr. Cao who had come with a tug of worry on his brows. Though it wasn't too evident in his expressions, a few wrinkles on his skin were coming very prominent between his brows. "Mr.. Shen has come and requested to meet you."
