Chapter 495: Chapter 496: Never a Person to Play by the Rules

"Rules are meant to be broken."

Leng Xiaoye spoke with absolute confidence.

Before her, there had never been a queen in A Country who came from commoners, she was the first.

Before her, there had never been a queen in A Country who was Eastern, she also was the first.

...

After she became queen, she amended many legislative proposals concerning women’s rights, breaking countless rules. She was never one to play by the book, nor did she wish for her descendants to be like that.

Nothing new can be created without breaking the old.

Leng Xiaoye also hoped that the addition of Gan Yuan and the child would bring a fresh blood to the royal family and the country.

"Of course," she said gently, stirring the spoon to mix the milk with the tea, "Breaking the rules is never easy."

For Gan Yuan to truly gain everyone’s acceptance, given her status, was by no means an easy task.

Of course, Gan Yuan picked up on the implied meaning and nodded slightly.

"I understand."

Leng Xiaoye smiled.

It’s always straightforward speaking with someone smart.

"I heard that Xiaotang likes to paint?"

She swiftly changed the subject, having touched upon enough, Leng Xiaoye did not want to elaborate further.

Love is easy, cohabitation is hard, especially for a man like Huangfu Jue. If Gan Yuan wants to be with her son, she must put forth her own effort, and these are things others cannot assist her with.

"Yeah, he’s loved it since he was little; he would grab a pen and scribble everywhere before he could even walk," Gan Yuan’s tone lightened when she mentioned her son, her entire face glowing, "The floors, the bed sheets... were all covered in his messy doodles..."

"Is that so?" Leng Xiaoye also began to smile, "Xiaojue was the same when he was small. I remember when he was three, the design drafts I had done the night before were all colored in by him the next day... But, I have to admit, his creativity was better than mine..."

The two mothers thus spoke about their sons, sharing the joys and trials of parenting. Over the course of an afternoon tea, Gan Yuan could see the queen’s frank nature, and their relationship naturally grew much closer.

Thanks to the meticulous care from his parents and grandparents, coupled with serious medical treatment, Gan Tang’s injuries, which were not serious to begin with, had healed quite a bit after three days of rest.

During these three days, Gan Yuan and Leng Xiaoye became gradually familiar with each other, and even Mr. King, who had always been very cold towards her, began to show a thawing attitude.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, after examination by the doctors, Gan Tang finally received permission to leave the hospital for home rest.

That evening, not only did Huangfu Jue arrive early, but the always busy Mr. King Huangfu Yaoyang also made an appearance in the hospital room once again.

Upon learning from Leng Xiaoye that Gan Yuan had agreed to let Gan Tang rest and recuperate in the Royal Palace after discharge, the always reticent king showed her a trace of a smile for the first time.

"Tonight, let’s have dinner together at the Royal Palace."

This statement wasn’t addressed to Gan Yuan alone, but since he said "together," it meant including everyone in the hospital room, and of course, Gan Yuan was included as well.

This was the first formal invitation from the Royal Palace to her, following Huangfu Jue’s previous action of bringing Gan Yuan into the Royal Palace.

Gan Tang laughed and hopped down from the small bed, tugging on Gan Yuan’s sleeve.

"Mommy, grandpa smiled!"

Huangfu Yaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly, as the little one came over and took hold of his sleeve.

"Will grandpa make grilled meat for Xiaotang?"
