While Madam He was not paying attention, Ning Yue took some dry seafood from her space and made some seafood porridge.
After making it, Madam He took a bite. “Yueyue, your porridge is so fresh and sweet!”
After working for a while, breakfast was finally ready.
The two of them brought breakfast to the dining room, where everyone was waiting.
“I smelled a fragrance as soon as I woke up. I think I’m in for a treat today,” the empress dowager said to Ning Yue with a smile.
After a delicious meal, everyone’s mood improved, especially the Empress Dowager. She was overjoyed to see her great-grandson whom she missed every day.
When Ning Yue was free, the empress dowager looked for her.
Ning Yue’s mood instantly soured. She guessed that the empress dowager was looking for her because of the two children.
If the children’s father was an ordinary person, she could still snatch the children away, but they were the heirs of Prince Jin!
In the long run, the children were the future heirs and princes.
“Yueyue, I’m not looking for you for anything else. I want to ask you something. Your grandmother is back. Don’t you plan to let her return to the General’s Residence?” the Empress Dowager asked.
Eh? Ning Yue almost did not react.
“That’s all?” Ning Yue asked.
“What else? Do you want me to ask you to hand the children to me to bring into the palace?” The Empress Dowager pointed out Ning Yue’s thoughts and laughed as she spoke.
“I’m not that kind of person. These two children are a year old. I can tell that you’ve taught them well and they’re polite. Besides, they’re very smart. I’m very relieved that you’re taking care of my two great-grandchildren.”
The Empress Dowager’s words embarrassed Ning Yue. She smiled. “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to call me Grandmother? Why did you change your mind?” The Empress Dowager pretended to be angry at Ning Yue.
“Grandmother, I forgot.” Ning Yue touched the back of her head in embarrassment.
“Alright, let’s continue what we just said. Has your grandmother never thought of returning to the General’s Residence?” The Empress Dowager asked again.
Ning Yue shook her head. “Grandmother said she doesn’t want to go back.”
“Then I understand. Alright, there’s nothing else. Go out and play,” the Empress Dowager said.
Ning Yue was puzzled. What was the Empress Dowager trying to do? Was she just asking her such a simple question?
On this day, Gu Yu and Ning Yue entered the palace to treat the emperor as usual.
The emperor had been poisoned twice. If he wasn’t treated well, he would suffer from illnesses and pain in the future. Considering the emperor’s health, the master and disciple slowed down their treatment process.
