396 Imperial Edict
Ning Yue looked at the fair and tender children after showering and couldn’t help but kiss them. “Xiaobao and Xiaobei, do you miss Mother?”
“Yes, Mother. Are you and Father going to play? Why aren’t you taking us?” Xiaobei pouted and asked Ning Yue, looking a little aggrieved.
“Mother and Father didn’t go out to play. We have something very important to do.” Ning Yue smiled and tapped Xiaobei’s nose.
Xiaobei nodded as if he understood. In any case, it wasn’t as if his mother wouldn’t take her out to play.
At the thought of this, Xiaobei kissed Ning Yue’s cheek happily.
She hugged Xiaobao and asked, “Xiaobao, do you miss Mom?”
“Yes.” Xiaobao was very mature. He did not talk as much as Xiaobei. With that, he kissed Ning Yue on the cheek.
Ning Yue was very happy and fell asleep with the two children.
The next day, Ning Yue was woken up early. She was told that there were guests. Ning Yue quickly packed up and brought the two children to the front hall.
When she arrived, she realized that the person who had arrived was the eunuch beside the emperor. Ning Yue hurriedly asked, “Eunuch, why are you here?”
A smile appeared on the eunuch’s face. “Princess, the future emperor asked me to come.”
Future emperor? Ning Yue frowned. Did the crown prince ask him to come because she hadn’t gone to the capital yet?
Did the chief eunuch specially emphasize the title of “future emperor” for any special meaning?
“Oh? What can I do for His Highness?” When Ning Yue asked, she quietly took out small golden accessories from her space and handed it to the eunuch. “Eunuch, this is a small gift. I was planning to go to the capital in the next few days to give it to you.”
The eunuch smiled even more beautifully. He was almost smiling like a flower. He naturally took the two golden rings Ning Yue had given him.
“Thank you, Princess, for remembering me. I’m here on the Crown Prince’s orders to let your family enter the capital with you,” the eunuch said mysteriously.
Family? Ning Yue looked at the eunuch in confusion. Why did he want her family to go with her?
Before Ning Yue could speak, the eunuch whispered into her ear, “As far as I know, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to confer a title to your old master when he succeeds the throne!”
What? A noble title? Ning Yue looked at the eunuch in shock. Was he serious?
“Eunuch, you can’t joke about this,” Ning Yue said.
The chief eunuch covered his mouth and laughed. “Princess, how can I spout nonsense about such a big matter? This is true. Otherwise, why would the crown prince let me invite the princess and her family to participate in the coronation?”
This news still shocked Ning Yue. Why would the crown prince suddenly confer a title to her family?
The eunuch took out what the crown prince wanted to give to Ning Yue. “His Highness asked me to give this to you. In addition, I have to read an imperial edict.”
Hearing the imperial edict, Ning Yue hurriedly said, “I’ll get my family to come over.”
Ning Yue called her family over. Old Master Ning looked at Ning Yue in confusion. “Should we call the entire village over to receive the imperial edict?”
Otherwise, it would not seem grand enough. He did not know if they would be blamed.
“There’s no need. The eunuch said that he came on the crown prince’s orders. This imperial edict has something to do with the crown prince, so there’s no need to call everyone over,” Ning Yue said.
The imperial edict should be for their family to participate in the crown prince’s coronation, so there was no need for everyone to listen.
Old Master Ning was still conflicted, but the eunuch did not give them time and directly read the imperial edict.
Seeing that the eunuch had no intention of blaming them, Old Master Ning did not say anything else.
Hearing that the imperial decree wanted their family to go to the capital to participate in the coronation, Old Master Ning’s eyes widened.
The others from the Ning family were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, unable to believe what the chief eunuch had said.
“Why are you all stunned? Accept the imperial edict!” The eunuch handed the imperial edict forward.
Ning Yue hurriedly took the imperial edict respectfully and smiled. “Thank you, Eunuch.”
After entertaining the eunuch, Ning Yue told Old Master Ning what the eunuch had said. Old Master Ning was very shocked. He looked at Ning Yue in disbelief.
