In Li Xue's heart, the Queen was already getting a respectable position. Not just because of the royal title but also for the way she treated her. She felt so warm and soft that for a moment a question arose in her heart asking if that was the feeling of being under the protective wings of a mother? Maybe yes! She was not sure because she never got a chance to experience that pure bliss.

She has thought that all this time the Queen was just helping her out because she has helped them save the king's life and they have promised to help her in tough situations in return. But now, hearing the Queen demanding her to call her with the same endearment of mother, she no longer was sure what exactly the things were turning to.
