Chapter 883 - Will You Be My Rapunzel?

"Hey, am I looking at the right thing? Has Mr. Cao really laughed?" One of the servants standing around asked softly, staring horridly at the old man and the little girl.

While the other hummed and responded with an equal dilemma. "Yes, if my eyes have not betrayed me then yes, right now we are seeing him laughing. Like genuinely laughing for once."

"I have never seen a smile like this on his face. Whenever I have seen him smiling that was out of politeness and that too in front of His and Her Highness. Today must be a day in history that should be recorded and also the name of that little girl should also be added."

"That little one is also something. She looks so fearless and cute. Otherwise, in all these years, none of us have ever dared to talk so bravely with him. Especially when the conversation has to be like this, one on one.."

"Ah, she is really too cute. Not just by her looks but also by her talks. Did you hear her? She is so witty when she speaks her mind out. She has got a unique style that could charm anyone's heart within a snap of fingers." Another one said in a tone of dreaminess while others were no less.

Nodding they also agreed while one of them commented, "Like mother, like daughter. She has got her beauty and manners from her. Now, I am curious to know who her father is and how suited he is to the duo."

They talked softly in whispers but still, their voice was clear enough and near Li Xue's ears to make her hear everything very clearly. She wasn't surprised to see her daughter garnering people's love but what surprised her was the chitty-chatty servants.

But then who could she blame? Her daughter knew to bring people both at their finest and their worst.

She shook her head as she looked ahead at her daughter, who was standing all confidently, straining her head up to look at the old butler. No doubt, her princess had charms to charm everyone.

Little Li Wei looked at the old butler for some time. When got his permission to ask, she smiled and went to count something on her finger. When done, she looked again up to ask, "Mr. Cao, on my third birthday, two and approx. half a year back, Mama gave me Mr. Teddy. Do you know about it?"

The old butler shook his head and the little girl continued, "That teddy is really cute and fluffy, just like you. So I wanted to ask if you are the same Mr. Teddy that Mama has gifted to me? I have read somewhere in a story that once a boy had a rabbit as a toy and then later to meet the boy, the rabbit turned into life. So have you also?"

She asked and before Mr. Cao could contemplate her question well, an amused peal of soft laughter burst from a distance, at once interrupting the whole scene. That was a bit unexpected and took everyone off-guard.

The little girl who had been looking at the old butler turned to look in the direction from where that laughter came. The old butler who has unknowingly bent for the little girl also got straightened back realizing who is there. While the others were well as well silenced. Their eyes looking down at the floor.

Sensing something odd around, WeiWei, who had stepped away from her mother, went back to stand beside her, reaching to hold on her hands. Not in fear but a bit in alertness. Not in a strange way but more in a protective way.

Like other's composure changed with the appearance of one lady, Li Xue's attitude didn't change. She was already sitting in her best and when saw the lady appear, she remained the same as if she was all used to it. But then when she saw her turning to look at her with a smile, she stood up to greet with respect. "Your Highness!" Her lips lifted up in a smile.

Chen Rui nodded and reciprocated with a smile as well. But after looking at Li Xue, her eyes went back to stare at the little one who had gone all the way just to hold onto her mother.

The features on the royal queen's face grew more softer when saw the alertness in the eyes of the little one. "Am I looking threatful to you, dear?"

Little Li Wei shook her head. "Nope, you look beautiful. Just like how Mama has described the Queen in the story of Rapunzel. Are you also the Queen?" She asked sweetly, getting a bit relaxed.

The lady nodded, passing a smile to Li Xue. "Did your Mama describe me?"

"Nope, Mama used to read me the story of Rapunzel during bedtime. There she described Rapunzel's mother and her description was much like you". The little one replied looking up to blink at her mother.

Li Xue nodded and smiled at her, before patting her head. Their soft and sweet gestures could melt anyone's heart and at the moment it was melting the royal lady.

Chen Rui always had a wish for a daughter that got completed looking at Li Xue and now that she has come to see the little one, the feeling was hard to describe. But she didn't want to scare her out.

So to keep it simple, she began a normal story. "Oh, then do you want to be my Rapunzel?" She asked with a smile as she slowly walked near them.

Little Li Wei thought for a moment and then again shook her head. And at her rejection, the queen immediately asked with a bit of a hurt expression. "Why? Don't you want to be a princess?"

"WeiWei is already her Daddy's princess. She can't be the princess of two places at the same time, right Mama?" The little girl replied, keeping herself restrained in her knowledge and blinking eyes at her mother expectantly.

Li Xue could only nod. She could hardly understand where the conversation was heading to. At the moment, she only understood that her daughter was holding her tight and requesting her to accept accordingly.

Chen Rui looked at Li Xue and smiled. She was enjoying the talks of the little one. "Is that so? Then I will make your Mama be my Princess. That way you will as well become one of us and also the Princess of two palaces. How will you avoid that then?"
