Chapter 163 Pillars of the Nation
The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Ni Naina got up early. She was dressed in a gorgeous court dress, with a graceful figure and a variety of manners. Following closely behind her was a solemn master, and the two walked out of the gate of the mansion together.
This morning, Ni Nainai did not plan to take Prince Zhan's carriage as usual, but chose to take her own carriage to the palace. However, just as she was about to board the carriage, she unexpectedly bumped into Prince Zhan who was about to enter the palace.
"Your Highness, Imperial Master." Mu Sixiu, who was standing nearby, whispered in Qin Hanmo's ear to remind him.
Qin Hanmo saw this scene and stepped forward without hesitation. He came to Ni Naina, bowed and greeted her, "Master Imperial Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? Are you doing well these days?"
Ni Nainai raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. She gracefully bent her knees slightly to return the greeting and responded softly: "Good morning, Your Majesty. Thank you for your concern. I am fine." After that, she turned around and prepared to get on her carriage.
At this moment, Qin Hanmo opened his mouth with enthusiasm:
"National Master, why don't you ride in the same carriage with me into the palace today?"
However, Ni Nainai just shook her head and declined politely:
"I slept too late last night and I feel a little sleepy. I would like to take a rest in the carriage. It might be inconvenient if I travel with Your Majesty." After saying this, she laughed again like a blooming spring flower.
"Okay." Qin Hanmo didn't force it and nodded readily in response.
Afterwards, the two of them boarded their respective carriages. As soon as Ni Nainai entered the carriage, she lay down directly with a dazed look in her eyes. The interior of the carriage was carefully designed by Feng Ling. It could be used as a resting place and as a seat, which was very convenient.
The atmosphere in the court was solemn and dignified. King Qin Tian sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below. He slowly spoke:
"My dear ministers, today I received a memorial that a talented person wants to build a royal academy in my Zhenlong Mountain. What do you think about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hanmo knew who was the driving force behind this academy - it was Hua Yuer! As expected, only she would have such a strange idea.
At this time, Prime Minister Huang stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think building an academy is certainly a good thing, but we still need to thoroughly investigate this person's background to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the opportunity." His words were sincere and his attitude was respectful.
Ni Nainai spoke next, agreeing with what Prime Minister Huang said, and added:
"Your Majesty, building a college is a move that benefits the country and the people. It will help cultivate more talents. I think this move is feasible."
The king nodded slightly, turned his gaze to the Zhan Wang, and asked, "My Lord Zhan, what do you think?" The Zhan Wang pondered for a moment and replied:
"Your Majesty, this is what your son, Lord Ni, said. Building an academy is not only beneficial to national development, but can also improve the quality of the subjects. However, the identity and purpose of the proposer do need to be investigated in detail to ensure that there are no mistakes before it can be implemented." His tone was firm and his point of view was clear.
"Which minister is willing to take responsibility for this matter?" The king looked at the ministers in the hall with sharp eyes and asked slowly. Everyone was silent, as if they were thinking about whether they should take on this task.
At this moment, Qin Hanmo and Ni Nainai stood up at the same time and answered in unison:
"I am willing to take over this matter." The voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the court. The two looked at each other and then looked away at the same time.
"Your Highness, I have always been responsible for handling this matter. You are not familiar with the details, so let me handle it." Ni Naina frowned slightly and said softly to Qin Hanmo:
"The Imperial Master has been busy with state affairs recently and has been very tired. Please leave these matters to me. I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!" His tone was full of confidence, as if he was fully prepared to take over this task.
"Well, thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Ni Naina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, indicating that she did not care about these material things.
“Hahaha… They are so respectful to each other even before getting married. You are indeed the one I like. Hahaha…” King Qin Tian was very pleased when he saw this and laughed heartily.
He secretly thought that this couple was made in heaven and would become a good story in the future. Their married life would surely be happy and enviable.
When the court meeting was over, Ni Naina took the initiative to volunteer and diligently followed the king to the imperial study. Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After entering the imperial study, Ni Nainai sat quietly aside and began to carefully read the pile of memorials. Her eyes were focused and sharp, and she quickly read through each memorial, and her mind was as quick as lightning. In a short while, she had finished reviewing a thick pile of memorials and presented them to the king for review.
The king took the memorial and looked at it carefully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Ni Nainai reviewed it very quickly, but there were no mistakes. Every decision was just right, which made the king feel very gratified - with the help of such a wise minister, the country will surely prosper.
Qin Hanmo wanted to see the prince from yesterday as soon as possible...
