The next day, Xiao Ningyuan, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne. The dragon on the robe was lifelike and imposing.
This is a far cry from her arrogant demeanor last night.
The courtiers below bowed their heads, as if in fear of him.
"My beloved ministers, let me introduce you to this newly appointed Imperial Advisor."
"From now on, she will be responsible for surveying and predicting the fate of the country, as well as natural disasters and man-made calamities." Xiao Ningyuan raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xiao A Wu, who was dressed neatly and cleanly beside him, as he introduced her to everyone.
The ministers cautiously raised their heads, looking at Xiao Wu with disdain.
His eyes seemed to say, "How can such a young child be appointed as the Imperial Advisor?"
What on earth were the people on Xingchen Mountain thinking, that they would send a little girl out of the mountain?
The position of Imperial Advisor is not something to be taken lightly!
“Your Majesty, this young lady looks no more than six or seven years old. How can she possibly be qualified for this position?”
"Could it be that the people on Star Mountain have made a mistake?"
Another minister spoke up, expressing great doubt about Xiao A Wu.
No matter how you look at her, she's just an ordinary girl. If there's anything different about her, it's probably that she's prettier.
But beauty can't put food on the table, nor can it make people feel at ease entrusting the fate of a nation to her.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider," another old minister said.
"Your Majesty, this old minister humbly begs you to reconsider. Entrusting the fate of the Li Kingdom to a child is... is inappropriate," the other ministers said, bowing in unison.
Xiao Ningyuan frowned and sneered, "A country cannot be without a national advisor. All the national advisors of Li Kingdom have been selected from Xingchen Mountain. Since the people of Xingchen Mountain recommended her, it means that she has extraordinary abilities. If we don't entrust the fate of Li Kingdom to her, then who do you think we should entrust it to?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Chi has also learned some basics and received praise from the late Emperor, as well as the favor of the previous Imperial Preceptor. Although all Imperial Preceptors have been selected from Xingchen Mountain, rules can be changed. Compared to this young lady, this old minister thinks..."
"Why not appoint Prince Chi as the Imperial Advisor?"
One of the ministers mustered his courage and spoke.
The other ministers echoed this sentiment.
The ethereal Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow as she listened to what those people were saying.
Pool King?
Who is that?
The name felt strangely familiar, yet inexplicably annoying.
"This old minister also thinks Prince Chi is suitable. Firstly, Prince Chi also has the surname Ning, and secondly... Prince Chi's abilities are not bad. Although he cannot compare to the previous national advisors, he should be more than qualified to be this young lady." A minister looked up and glanced at Xiao Wu before speaking.
Xiao Ningyuan's expression turned cold, and his hands clenched into fists, making a cracking sound.
Everyone in the hall heard it clearly.
These people were practically saying the words "make his imperial uncle emperor!"
What's the difference between appointing his uncle as the national advisor of the Li Kingdom and making him the emperor?
Most importantly, not one of these ministers disagreed; they all agreed!
Xiao Wu glanced at the king beside him, then looked at the ministers below.
They seemed to be on the same side, pressuring the king.
Everything he said last night was correct.
These people are all pressuring him.
They wanted that so-called "Pond King" to gain power.
"You..." Xiao Ningyuan began to speak, but before he could finish, a calm and composed voice rang in his ears.
Although her voice was devoid of emotion, for some reason, it sounded reassuring at that moment.
"Although Ah Wu is young, he is very powerful. He is the most powerful person on Star Mountain." Little Ah Wu said, showing no fear in front of the crowd.
My master said she was very capable, unmatched by anyone.
She thinks so too.
At least in this respect, no one can compare to her.
She has come from afar and cannot go back now.
She is the Imperial Advisor, and no one can take her place.
Otherwise, she would have no face to face her master, and even less to explain to him.
"The most powerful? You little girl, you really dare to boast. Even Mr. Xihe back then didn't dare to say he was the most powerful. How dare you, a little girl, spout such nonsense!" A minister looked at Xiao Wu with disdain and said contemptuously.
Xihe was the first national teacher of Li Kingdom and the grandmaster of everyone on Xingchen Mountain.
Even the departed Imperial Preceptor of the previous term had to address Xihe as his Grandmaster.
Xihe can know everything under the world with a simple pinch of his fingers, and can foresee disasters and avoid calamities.
With Xihe in charge, the country is thriving.
Even though Xihe has been gone for decades, the people of Li still sing of his prowess and strive to emulate him.
Even someone like Mr. Xihe wouldn't dare claim to be the most powerful person in the world, yet this little girl dares to speak so arrogantly.
She doesn't even deserve it?
Emperor Xiaoyuan is really playing games; he actually wants to make a young girl the national advisor.
If she were to truly become the national advisor, she would undoubtedly become a laughingstock among the people of Li Kingdom and other nations.
“Grandmaster Xihe is not the most powerful, I am,” Xiao Wu said.
It's not that she's arrogant, it's that she really is.
She could even summon the departed Grandmaster Xihe and have him speak for her personally.
but……
If they shouted it out, these people would be scared to death.
“Young lady, don’t be so arrogant at such a young age,” another minister said.
The little girl's tone of voice does indeed bear some resemblance to that of Emperor Xiaoyuan.
No wonder Emperor Xiaoyuan made her the Imperial Advisor; they were birds of a feather.
"You are a jinx to your wives; you have already killed four of them. Those four wives were all forcibly taken by you. Besides those wives, the concubines in your household were also forcibly taken by you, and they were originally other men's wives," Xiao Wu said casually.
Her nonchalant remark caused the court officials to look at the minister who had just spoken, and everyone looked surprised.
