A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

222 Ning Chen Enters the Palace

“By the way, I hope you don’t ask my grandfather directly about this. Great Uncle Wu Chang is my grandfather’s good brother. I’m worried that he won’t be able to take it if you mention this,” Ning Yue said.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits. In any case, I’ve already waited for so many years. It doesn’t matter if I wait a few more days,” Yuan Hui said.

“Thank you, then. I’ll slowly ask Grandpa about Wu Chang and your sister,” Ning Yue said.

Then, Ning Yue chatted with Yuan Hui for a while more before Yuan Hui left.

Ning Yue looked at Yuan Hui’s departing back and sighed deeply. For some reason, she felt that a large net had trapped them all, making her unable to breathe.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to leave. The moment she turned around, she was shocked. “Why are you here? How long have you been here?”

Jiang Ying stood in front of her silently. Hearing her words, Jiang Ying’s heart skipped a beat.

Why was Ning Yue asking him how long he had been here? Was there anything shameful about her and Yuan Hui?

“What were you and Yuan Hui doing?” Jiang Ying did not answer Ning Yue but asked her a question.

“It’s nothing. He just happened to see my grandfather’s dragon pattern jade pendant and asked me to ask him about it,” Ning Yue said.

Then, Ning Yue told Jiang Ying about Wu Chang and Yuan Hui’s sister.

“Grandpa was fishing by the river. I was worried that Grandpa would be agitated when he heard about this, so I pulled him here to chat,” Ning Yue said.

So that was all. Jiang Ying heaved a sigh of relief. “I thought you were doing something, you know? Yuan Hui’s reputation isn’t good. Everyone calls him the Bloodthirsty King. It can be seen how cruel he is. Stay away from him. Don’t be hurt by him.”

“He’s not cruel. He’s just defending the territorial sovereignty of their country. After interacting with him for the past few days, don’t you think he’s also a good person?” Ning Yue asked.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. Who knows what he’s thinking?” Jiang Ying said angrily.

Hearing Jiang Ying’s angry words, Ning Yue couldn’t help but size him up. There was hidden anger in his eyes.

Ning Yue thought for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Jiang Ying, don’t tell me you’re jealous.”

“How… how am I jealous?” Jiang Ying asked.

“Are you really not jealous? Then let’s go. Come with me to find Yuan Hui,” Ning Yue said and was about to turn around and leave.

“No, you can’t go!” Jiang Ying pulled Ning Yue back.

Seeing this, Ning Yue laughed even louder. “Don’t worry. I don’t have that intention. He treats me the same. There are some things I don’t know how to explain to you, but please believe me.”

“Jiang Ying, you’re the person I like the most in my heart. Can you trust me?” With that, Ning Yue kissed Jiang Ying’s face.

Jiang Ying was instantly stunned on the spot. After Ning Yue kissed him, she jogged away.

After being stunned for a moment, there was a huge surprise. Jiang Ying reacted and followed Ning Yue back to the Ning family.

Seeing the shy and happy expressions on the two of them, everyone from the Ning family instantly understood that they were talking about love.

At dinner, everyone was chatting and laughing. The capital, which was very far from Laifu Village, also had a festive scene.

Their great hero had returned to court!

Jiang Huan brought Ning Chen into the palace. Originally, Jiang Huan entered the palace himself, but the emperor’s decree mentioned Ning Chen.

It was obvious that the emperor wanted Jiang Huan to bring Ning Chen into the palace.

Jiang Huan knew very well why the emperor had called Ning Chen into the palace. This was because Ning Chen was Ning Yue’s second uncle, his future in-law. As his elder brother, the emperor had to see what this in-law was like.

Ning Chen was flattered. He had been working hard ever since he entered the military camp. He had been promoted from a soldier to a major general. Now, the emperor actually wanted to confer him as a junior general. This made him very happy.

However, he did not expect the emperor to actually ask Jiang Huan to bring him into the palace. This was a supreme honor.

Along the way, Jiang Huan told him about the etiquette of entering the palace. He learned it very seriously, hoping not to embarrass Jiang Huan.

After entering the palace, Ning Chen not only met the emperor, but also the crown prince. The emperor rewarded him greatly, and the crown prince admired him very much.

“We’re about to become relatives. Don’t be too restrained here.” The crown prince could tell that Ning Chen was restrained and couldn’t help but say.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Ning Chen smiled proudly.
