Chapter 494: Instant Promotion to Princess
Imperial Study Room...
Ni Naina took light steps and walked slowly towards the imperial study.
After stepping into the imperial study, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious and solemn space. Such a large imperial study seems a bit empty and lonely. Only the young king is sitting at the desk, concentrating on reviewing the piles of memorials.
From a distance, the young king looked extremely small. His thin body seemed to be submerged in two thick piles of memorials, with only a small head and a pair of busy hands showing. At first glance, the scene looked like a diligent and studious child burying his head in a sea of books, trying hard to absorb knowledge.
"Your Majesty, the new princess has arrived." At this time, the servant reported.
"Okay, you guys leave first." The little king said without raising his head and continued to review the memorials in his hand.
"Yes." The servant responded and left, closing the door of the imperial study.
"I wonder why the king wants me to come here?" Ni Naina still had that arrogant look on her face and did not even salute the little king.
"Royal Aunt!" At this moment, the little king dropped the memorial in his hand, trotted over, threw himself into Ni Naina's arms and shouted, "Aunt."
When the little king heard the name "Royal Aunt", tears welled up in his eyes.
Ni Nainai felt amused inside. The little guy started to recognize his relatives before he even recognized them. What was in this gourd?
"Why does the king call me like this?" Ni Naina asked puzzledly.
"Aunt, you are the daughter of the emperor, you are the eldest princess, of course you are my aunt." The little king still hugged Ni Naina and said.
"Maybe not?" Ni Naina said.
"Yes, it must be!" the little king confirmed.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Ni Nainai said straight to the point.
"Aunt, please help me. You are the only one who can help me now." The little king raised his little head and looked at Ni Naina pleadingly with his childish eyes.
"How do you want me to help you?" Ni Naina asked.
"You have seen the current situation in the North Kingdom. Now I am just a hollow king. The ones who control the government are the regent and the queen mother. I am just a puppet king." The little king said as he let go of his hand disappointedly, his young face full of helplessness.
"What's wrong with being a puppet king? You have food, shelter and rights. You should enjoy them." Ni Naina said unmoved.
"You?" The little king didn't expect Ni Naina to say that. He felt a little disappointed for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's right. Aunt didn't grow up in the North Country, so naturally she doesn't have any feelings for it. Since Aunt doesn't want to help, I won't make it difficult for her."
“Hahaha…” Ni Naina chuckled and said, “You guys say I’m your aunt, but why do you want me to marry Prince Ye Nanming? Since I’m your aunt, I’m also Ye Nanming’s aunt. Isn’t this confusing?”
Ni Nai Nai said this and looked at the little king in confusion.
"No, aunt." The little king quickly shook his head and denied it, "Ye Nanming is not the son of the emperor grandfather."
"Oh?" Ni Naina was puzzled.
“Aunt, Ye Nanming is the son of the emperor’s sworn brother, so you two are of the same generation, and… and…” The little king looked at Ni Naina, hesitant to speak.
"What?" Ni Naina asked.
"And it is rumored that my aunt has been disfigured. Looking across the entire Northern Kingdom, only Ye Nanming is willing to marry my aunt. This is what I think. Only if my aunt marries Ye Nanming, if Ye Nanming inherits the throne in the future, it will be in my aunt's hands. In this way, my grandfather the emperor can rest assured." The little king said calmly like a little adult.
"Okay, I can't do what the king asked me to do, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye." Ni Naina said and turned around and walked out without caring whether he agreed or not.
"Goodbye, aunt." The little king was not angry. Instead, he was unusually generous and bowed to Ni Naina behind her back and watched her leave.
……
After Ni Nainai walked away, several figures appeared in the imperial study. The queen mother and the imperial teacher looked at each other. The little king looked at them and slowly shook his head.
