Once Li Xue agreed to take the process of coronation, the arrangements in the royal palace started in full swing as if all this while they were all just waiting for a green flag from the princess. This alone was enough to reveal the value Li Xue held in the royal family. The members who were in doubt of it got to understand it once all the processes started.
Even after the announcement of Li Xue being the next royal heir, there were small groups waiting for the revocation of the decision. It was not their fault to think like that but the fault was in their orthodox perception that was simply not allowing them to think a woman ruling the country. So, they were believing that the royal couple would revoke their plans of making Li Xue the crown princess.
But all their delusions were left shattered when instead of the revocation, the palace declared the date of the coronation and Shin Tingming and Chen Rui personally brought Li Xue to attend respective several important meetings regarding the royal issues. It was then they realized how serious the decision was kept.
Some people wanted to go against it and asked Su Ce to take the leadership of their group, but they didn't know for some reason the city prince from the east of Chiboa was not taking the interest. Maybe because Su Ce knew that even if he takes the interest, he won't be able to change anything in the end.
"Being the royals serving the common people have been our duty from ages, we can't shrug off our responsibilities just like that." Shin Tinming said as he sat at the head of the table. His eyes commandingly stared at each and every member sitting at the desk.
"But Your Majesty we don't have enough powers to help the people. Although we have powers, the government ruling the country shares them with us. Most of the political matters are under their opinion and we have just the position to share out points with them." One of the royal ministers said and a wrinkle of stress formed on the forehead of Shin Tingming. His fingers curled into a fist as he tried to contain his anger out of helplessness.
Other ministers also started to state the same helplessness and each and every time Shin Tingming heard them, his fingers only tightened more and more. All this while, Li Xue didn't miss it all. While her eyes took in how her father was controlling himself, her ears never missed a point from all the statements the ministers made regarding the power distinction between the royals and the government of the country.
After a while, Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile and her smile like that flabbergasted everyone. While the ministers' continuous blabbering about the things stopped, she spoke in a really slow tone. "Just because things seem impossible doesn't mean they are actually impossible, dear people."
She said and hearing her speak about such an important matter in such a casual tone, the people once again started murmuring within themselves. While some tried to understand the meaning behind her words, others passed contempt towards her lack of knowledge. After all, wasn't she a lost princess that was found by the king and queen recently? And wasn't she still in the process of learning everything regarding the royals?
"Your Highness, we understand that you are still new to everything and can't understand the things. But we expect you to learn everything quickly so that you can actually help us in matters like this. And until then, it will be your silence in a situation like this will serve as a help. Please forbade yourself from speaking when you don't know all the facts properly." One of the arrogant ministers spoke, clearly looking down on the ethnicity of Li Xue.
His tone and words clearly insulted Li Xue and Shin Tinming were ready to roar in the defense of his daughter but before he could Li Xue halted him. Reaching to place her hands over his, she looked at him shaking her head in denial.
When Li Xue saw him not understanding her clue, she smiled at him to assure him that she was okay. Then she turned with the same smile to look at the minister who spoke to her before. "Mr. Zhao, thanks for keeping your expectations so that. It's your people's such high expectations that's making me so diligent in learning things quickly."
"We appreciate your hard work, Your Highness." Thinking that his arrogance ruled, Mr. Zhao spoke with a smirk.
Li Xue wasn't offended by his arrogance. Instead, she understood it more well. Keeping her smile, she instead continued, "Anyway, while I am learning I would require your help as well =. After all, you guys are ones who gained knowledge from experience, while I have no time for that. So how about I propose what I learnt and you all help me assess my thoughts. If my plans come out to be good, it will help the problems and if not, I will learn something or the other from my flaws."
She said and her words came so elegantly beautiful that none of the people there could point out a flaw in tit, nor they can reject.
Shin Tinming smiled with pride as his lips on the corners also held the pointed curl of arrogance. This was her girl. Of course, she had to be like this. After all, there was thick blood of royals flowing under her skin.
"Go ahead, Li Xue. Propose your thoughts. When others have none, at least you are the one there with something." Shin Tingming said as he passed on a glare to all the ministers around, who in turned pulled down their heads in embarrassment.
Li Xue smiled and looked back at Shin Tinming. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I simply wanted to help." She said as she passed another smile to all the people sitting at the desk.
This was her battlefield. She can't just sit back, wearing the armor. Since she has entered the battlefield, she won't back down until she battles down and wins the war.
