After Toyotomi Ieyasu left, Princess Nami came to the residence of the Mikado. Princess Nami was the Mikado's favorite granddaughter. Although they were not related by blood, some things might be fate. The Mikado doted on her even more than his own children. So Princess Nami was basically unimpeded. No one dared to stop her from seeing the Mikado.
The Mikado was not asleep at this time. He was reading in the study. There was a knock on the door. The guard outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Princess Nami is here."
"Well, let her in." The Mikado said calmly.
Princess Nami walked into the study and then quickly ran to the Mikado. She said, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? I heard that you are not feeling well. "
The Mikado's face was indeed a little pale. He coughed twice when he was about to speak. Then he shook his head and said, "I'm getting old. It's inevitable."
"You should take good care of your body when you are old. Look, it's already past eight o 'clock. Why don't you go back to sleep?"
The Mikado laughed and said, "All these years, I have never been in the habit of going to bed too early. Although the royal family has fallen, as the Mikado, the habit of studying every day has not changed. Alas, before World War II, our country was led by the Mikado. The military and political power were in the hands of the royal family. At that time, the most important thing for the Mikado was to be diligent, ambitious and enterprising. At that time, all the Mikado would read memorials until midnight. But now … "
The Mikado's voice was a little melancholy, "Now the royal family is in name only. There are not so many things to do. So I don't need to be so busy every day. I am happy to be free. Now I go to bed at nine o 'clock every day."
Princess Nami said in a sweet voice, "What's so good about being busy every day? It's better now. I can have a good rest every day, eat, drink and play. I can do whatever I want. How good it would be."
The Mikado laughed and said, "Nami, do you know why I like you?"
Princess Nami thought for a moment and said, "Because Nami is sensible and obedient."
"Hahahaha." His Majesty could not help but laugh and shake his head. "You're wrong. Speaking of being well-behaved, I'm afraid my children and grandchildren are more well-behaved than you. You're the most ignorant, naughty, and willful child I've ever seen."
Princess Nami pouted and said, "Am I as bad as grandfather said? Why does Grandpa Emperor like me? Or is it because Nami is not sensible at all? Grandpa likes children who are not sensible the most? "
His Majesty the Mikado smiled and said, "You're right, but you're also wrong."
Princess Nami shook her head and said, "I don't understand."
"Ai, you're still too young. But grandpa emperor will explain it to you, and you'll understand." His Majesty said, "Grandpa Emperor's children have all received formal royal education and learned various etiquettes. So everyone is very obedient and sensible. But you know, once you enter the royal family, you'll have ambitions. With ambitions, there will be schemes. With schemes, family affection will become impure. But you're different. You're rebellious, willful, and reckless. But you're not the least bit scheming. The word 'schemes' has nothing to do with you. So when I look at you, I feel very relaxed. "
Princess Nami said happily, "Grandpa Emperor is praising me for being naive."
"No, I'm saying you're stupid."
"…"
His Majesty laughed and said, "But it doesn't matter. If you were an ordinary girl, with your beauty and silly character, you would definitely suffer a lot. Maybe you'd be sold and still be earning money for them. But you're not an ordinary person. You're a royal princess. Even if you don't have royal blood, I've made you a princess. Who dares to deny it? Even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he won't dare to deny the decision I made. You're a princess for a day, and you'll always be a princess. No one dares to bully you. "
Princess Nami muttered, "To put it bluntly, you still think I'm stupid."
"It's not like that. It's not that grandpa thinks you're stupid, but you're really stupid …"
Princess Nami was speechless.
The Emperor looked at her and found it very interesting. He could not help but laugh and said, "Okay, don't think too much. You're not stupid. Your stupidity is not that kind of lack of intelligence, but that's all. "
Princess Nami said coquettishly, "It sounds the same to me! Forget it, grandpa emperor, I have something to discuss with you. "
"Oh?" His Majesty looked at Princess Nami with a smile and said, "Go ahead. What's the matter? Let grandpa hear it."
Princess Nami said, "Fengchen Jiakang sat in my place for a while today."
"Oh." His Majesty's smile was even brighter. "How is he? Is he a good person? I heard that you've been giving him the cold shoulder for the past few days. Today you're finally enlightened? "
"Humph, I'm not interested in him at all. Grandpa emperor, can you stop worrying about my feelings? He came to me for help. "
"For your help?" His Majesty was a little curious. "Fengchen Jiakang's martial arts are unfathomable, and he is also the apprentice of the master of the Hall of Martial Gods. Is there anything in the world that can't stop him? Why does he need to ask you, princess?"
"Of course he doesn't need me for other things, but it's different when it comes to grandpa emperor."
His Majesty finally became serious and said, "Tell me, what does he want from you? Let grandpa emperor hear it."
"Oh, he asked me to intercede with His Majesty. He wants to leave the Kokyo for a few days. He said that he has reached a bottleneck recently, so he needs to go out and will be back in a few days."
"He wants to go out?" His Majesty frowned slightly and thought secretly.
Princess Nami persuaded him, "Grandpa emperor, why do you keep him in the Kokyo? Just to make him and me a couple? I have no interest in him at all. If you ask me, he can go out if he wants to. Besides, it won't waste his time, will it? "
"Oh, do you really think so?" His Majesty said with a faint smile, "I'm afraid you don't want him to pester you every day, right?"
"So what?" Princess Nami said confidently, "He wants to leave the palace. I didn't force him. Grandpa emperor, why don't you help him?"
After weighing the pros and cons, His Majesty said slowly, "Normally, grandpa emperor will not stop him … It's okay if he wants to go out. But now the situation is different. I just announced a few days ago that I will punish him and keep him in the palace. If I let him leave so soon, even if it's just for a few days, wouldn't it be untrustworthy, grandpa emperor? "
Princess Nami said, "It's not a big deal. Grandpa emperor is the emperor. No one's words are more important than grandpa emperor's. What grandpa emperor says is right."
His Majesty laughed and said, "It's because I'm the emperor that I have to think carefully before I speak. Every word of mine is hard to change, and it's easy to give others a handle. So, he can't go out for the time being. "
"Oh." Princess Nami looked a little disappointed, but she did not argue. For her, if Fengchen Jiakang could leave for a few days and stop harassing her, it would be the best thing. But if Fengchen Jiakang couldn't leave for the time being, it didn't matter. It was not a big deal.
His Majesty smiled and said, "Some time ago, he made a lot of noise outside and almost caused public indignation. But everyone was worried about the power of the Hall of Martial Gods, so they didn't dare to say anything. The Hall of Martial Gods wants to frighten the whole martial arts world, and even wants the whole martial arts world to be in awe. But they don't know that the more they oppress the martial arts world, the more likely it will cause a backlash. Grandpa emperor locked him in the Kokyo this time to give an explanation to the martial arts world. It can be regarded as buying people's hearts. But grandpa emperor has told you these words, and you can't tell others. "
"Nami knows."
The Emperor smiled and said, "Therefore, I left him in the Kokyo temporarily not only to create opportunities for him and you, but also for other purposes. Now that he has only stayed in the Kokyo for a few days, if he were to go out and do something outside, wouldn't all your grandfather's previous efforts be in vain? How can the whole martial arts world be grateful to the royal family? "
Princess Nami nodded. She was not really stupid. She just did things according to her own interests, so she would not think too much. Now that the Emperor had explained it so clearly, how could she not understand?
Seeing that His Majesty was a little sleepy, Princess Nami said, "Grandpa emperor, Nami will help you go back to rest. Don't read anymore. What are you reading, grandpa emperor? "
"Sun Tzu's Art of War." His Majesty smiled and said, "This is the most precious art of war in Huaxia. It is not only the truth of the battlefield, but also how to strategize in life."
Princess Nami said, "In fact, Huaxia is good."
His Majesty said, "Well, whether it is Huaxia, the West or the United States, we need to learn from their strengths. But, Nami, do you know what we should do after we learn from them? "
"Develop ourselves?"
"Of course." His Majesty smiled and said, "Learn from their strengths and strengthen ourselves. Only in this way can we step on all their countries one day …"
His Majesty was not only talking about himself, but also the ambitions of the past emperors of Country R.
Princess Nami said, "Nami doesn't know those principles, and I don't want to learn them. Nami just wants to live a happy life and be with Grandpa emperor. I hope that he can live a long life. In the future, if Princess Nami wants to be with the man she likes, that will be enough. "
As she spoke, Princess Nami thought of Xiao Bing.
