Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 869

Chapter 869 Helping You

Ever since childhood, he and his Eighth Brother were both princes and he was older than his Eighth Brother too, but whenever he was with Eighth Brother, he could tell the difference. Everyone treated the Eighth Brother more politely than him, only because his Eighth Brother’s mother was the Queen whilst his own mother was just a princess.

That made him very uncomfortable inside his heart, but that was something that could not be changed. He was not the lineal son!

Even if he was the heir now, he still felt quite uncomfortable – his mother was still the Honored Princess Jing, and his Eighth Brother, who was useless and spoiled, was the Queen’s son.

Traditionally speaking, his Eighth Brother was the real lineal son!

Why?

He was not convinced by this point at all. He hoped that his mother could be granted the t.i.tle of Queen!

Only when his mother got granted the t.i.tle of Queen, would he be the real lineal son!

When his messengers in the court heard the news and pa.s.sed it onto him, he came to visit the court, expecting to hear the good news.

Although Zhou Huailing tried to make himself sound casual in tone he looked rather expectant.

Honored Princess Jing, all of a sudden, stopped looking at her own son.

Own son.

A long while later… She let out a sigh.

“We did not make it,” Honored Princess Jing said with distress.

Zhou Huailing frowned in surprise.

They did not make it? What happened?

That did not sound right. The Queen was already gone, and he was the heir, and his mother had not made any mistake so she should be granted the t.i.tle of Queen, for reputation’s sake at least. Why didn’t they make it?

Honored Princess Jing looked at Zhou Huailing and said with a guilty tone, “I am not capable enough to help you son! I have been in the court for so many years and I have not thought about getting any more t.i.tles, but I feel concerned for you! I am so sorry that your mother is just a princess, so I went to the Empress Dowager for help and hoped that she could help us!”

“But the Empress Dowager is, after all, the Empress Dowager, not your mother. She doesn’t care about you, nor does she help me. You are the heir, and they would like to train you for a while before giving you the best things.”

“You married the Phoenix Girl, and you are young and capable, the Empress Dowager and the King like you, but still are defensive against you.” Honored Princess Jing reminded him.

Zhou Huailing was extremely surprised.

He had been going on too smoothly these days, and his reputation was highly raised at the endowment ceremony. He almost got confused by those honors. He almost forgot that his father never treated him well in the past.

“Your father is still lingering upon the deceased Queen, so you need to watch out for Lord Huai, in case your father suddenly prefers him!” Honored Princess Jing said with a serious look.

Zhou Huailing suddenly became very furious!

His mother was right! His father used to adore his Eighth Brother so deeply, but as days pa.s.sed by, he changed. He could never be sure what would happen to him in the future!

“Mother, don’t worry. I can mention this to the King and I believe that he will understand everything!” Zhou Huailing said furiously. He was just not convinced by what happened to him!

Honored Princess Jing did not stop him either.

Her t.i.tle as the Queen should be granted, if the heir mentioned it.

“Huailing, one more thing I need to remind you of.”
