Ms. Doctor Divine

The King had just relaxed when he heard what Zhou Huailing said. He frowned and gathered himself up, asking. "Yes?"

He massaged his temple.

He was so tired. Why was everything coming to him these days? Why must he be in charge of everything?

Zhou Huailing said straightforwardly despite the tired look on his face. "Father, mom has been in the court for so many years and she has never made any mistakes. She used to be a good assistant to the Queen, and now she is administering everything alone. Everything is going well, and she has never made any serious mistakes either. Mom was born in a good family, she is a noble lady! Now the Yao Family is a very lasting family, so why don't you want to give her the title of Queen?"

Zhou Huailing was interrogating him.

He was actually quite pissed. He was angry about him not taking him into consideration, but mourning over a dead woman.

The King looked at Zhou Huailing.

He was quite displeased.

The Empress Dowager had already asked about this the day before, and he had already turned her down. Why must Huailing ask about this again? He should be old enough to understand the whole thing well! Why was he pushing him to crown his mother?

He had given him what he needed, and he already hosted a very grand ceremony for him whilst the Queen's funeral passed by in silence. He believed that he had already shown a preference for Huailing, but this son of his… He was not even considering him!

"Huailing!" The King said angrily, "You are my son and the heir, and I treat you best, why are you not considering me?"

"…"

"The Queen has been gone for just one month, and now you are asking me to crown your mother directly. That is making the whole world call me ruthless!"

"…"

"Even ordinary people would wait longer than one month before remarrying… I am the King, so I should not be worse than the ordinary people!" The King snapped and then soon bellowed angrily.

Zhou Huailing was feeling a little uncomfortable.

His father was right, but…

"Father, that is not what I meant! I am just feeling concerned for mother, and you too, so I said things like this." Zhou Huailing instantly soften his tone. "And I have been treated badly these years just because I was not born by the Queen. That is why I am anxious and not taking you into consideration. Sorry."

The King, who had been angry, finally saw how Zhou Huailing admitted his mistake.

He softened his tone too.

Huailing was a young and inconsiderate person. He never thought through everything carefully, but he was obedient enough to respect him, which was good.

He softened his tone too. "Your mother is almost as powerful as a Queen except for the title. We need to wait until the right time. Don't get anxious for the position."

"Yes." Zhou Huailing answered.

The King nodded and waved his hands, telling him to leave.

Zhou Huaijin, on the other hand, was on the way to Xinlin Mansion.

His father approved of his proposal without giving much consideration, which made him feel weird.

His father had expressed clearly what he was thinking…
