Chapter 668: Becoming a Princess
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." Ni'er sighed helplessly.
"If someone else had done this, Concubine Li might have died long ago."
She had no choice but to comfort herself in this way and try to calm herself down a little.
At this moment, Ni'er had only one thought in her mind, which was to go home as soon as possible and stay away from this place of trouble.
Watching the princess's cherry lips opening and closing.
At this moment, Nier suddenly heard what she had always wanted to hear, and her ears quickly captured the key information.
"We're leaving here tomorrow. We're finally going back! You should go to bed early too. Maybe you can see Concubine Li tomorrow. I really want to see what she looks like now."
There was a hint of anticipation and curiosity in the princess' words.
When Ni'er heard this, she became full of energy.
"That's great! I've missed home-cooked meals so much after being away for so many days!" Ni'er responded excitedly, with a happy smile on her face.
Seeing this, the princess also laughed and continued, "Me too. When I get back to the palace, I will definitely ask the kitchen to make all my favorite snacks to satisfy my cravings!"
"Hahaha, Princess, the snacks in your palace really taste good!"
The princess nodded proudly. "Of course, you'll ride in the same car with me tomorrow. The last time I rode with you, I didn't get carsick and vomit. You're truly amazing!"
"I used to feel dizzy and nauseous after sitting in the car for a long time. It was common for me to vomit bile."
Nier quickly nodded and agreed: "I will do my best to take good care of the princess and will never let her feel uncomfortable at all."
The princess was very satisfied with Nier's answer.
However, just when Nier thought the conversation was about to end, the princess suddenly changed the subject and asked a question that caught Nier off guard.
"What do you think of Prince Li?" The princess's gaze fell straight on Ni'er, waiting for her answer.
Seeing Nier's embarrassment, the princess gently added, "It's okay. Just say whatever comes to your mind. Don't be so reserved."
Ni'er thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Prince Li is truly a very good person. He is very kind and always puts himself in other people's shoes."
"He is also very generous and kind to others. Most importantly, he is very reliable and makes people feel at ease."
The princess became more and more excited as she listened. Ni'er spoke so highly of her brother. Did this mean that she might become her sister-in-law?
The princess couldn't help but recall the look Prince Li had given Ni'er before. She felt something was wrong at that time.
Now hearing Ni'er praising her brother like that, does it mean that Ni'er also has some special feelings for him?
It would be great if Nier could really become my sister-in-law!
The princess was secretly happy and decided to bring the two people together.
Then, the princess looked at Ni'er seriously and asked softly, "Ni'er, have you ever thought about becoming a princess?"
Ni'er's face was full of suspicion. She couldn't believe her ears. She widened her eyes and stammered, "Be...be a princess?"
The other party didn't seem surprised by her reaction and continued, "Yeah, have you ever thought about it?"
Ni'er's face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She fidgeted with the corner of her clothes a little uncomfortably and stammered, "This... I... I'm just a commoner. How could I possibly be qualified to be a princess?"
The princess leaned closer to Nier, carefully examining her pink cheeks, then asked with a half-smile, "So... you've thought about it?"
Ni'er waved her hands hastily and explained, "No, no! Princess, please don't misunderstand me. The prince is so much older than me, and he holds a high position of power. How could I have the courage to even think about it!"
The princess suddenly realized that Prince Li was indeed more than ten years older than Ni'er, and was said to have a hidden illness.
From this perspective, it is understandable that Ni'er looks down on Prince Li.
Although Prince Li is a prince, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem to be a good match for Ni'er.
However, the princess really hoped that Nier could become her sister-in-law.
This thought kept circling in her mind, making her a little upset.
The princess thought that maybe she should not ask Ni'er any more questions, after all, this matter concerned her brother's privacy.
She decided to first find out whether her brother's hidden illness was true.
If my brother's hidden illness is not true, that would be great.
Although my brother is a little older, he is still quite good-looking and holds a certain amount of real power.
Such conditions are not too bad a match for Ni'er.
But if there is really something wrong with my brother's health, I absolutely cannot let Nier jump into this fire pit!
"Seeing you're blushing, okay, I won't ask you anymore."
Hearing the princess' words, Nier felt relieved and slowly exhaled.
Her originally nervous mood also relaxed a little.
The princess continued, "Go back and rest quickly. There is still much to do tomorrow."
Nier said goodbye to the princess and turned back to her tent.
She lay quietly in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
Thoughts were running wild in my mind like a wild horse.
Especially today, the princess suddenly asked her what she thought of Prince Li and whether she wanted to become a princess, which made Ni'er feel uneasy for a long time.
The face of Prince Li kept appearing in Nier's mind. He was indeed born with a good appearance, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a face as handsome as a jade.
However, Ni'er knew very well that Prince Li was not only a prince with real power, but also a leader among the princes and nobles.
How could such a person set his sights on an ordinary woman like me?
What's more, the royal family has many rules and regulations, and even when staying with the princess, Ni'er often feels restrained and uncomfortable.
If she really became a princess, she would probably be suffocated by all the red tape.
Thinking of this, Ni'er couldn't help but shake her head and sighed inwardly, "Princess... this is probably out of reach for me. Even if that day really comes, given my status, I'll be nothing more than a concubine at best."
Nier's self-esteem told her that she would never become anyone's concubine.
At dawn, the morning light was just beginning to show, and Ni'er slowly woke up.
She didn't sleep well last night and her eyes were still a little sleepy.
However, since she was already awake, Nier decided not to delay any longer and quickly got up to pack her bags.
Fortunately, she didn't carry many things with her, and she had packed everything in just the time of an incense stick.
