Ning Yue, who was still immersed in happiness, did not know that an even greater surprise was about to happen.
The next morning, just as the family finished breakfast, Ning Guang and the eldest son of the Ning family went out to the back mountain. Xiaobao listened to Balang study, while Xiaobei sat at the door and played.
Just then, Jiang Ying and the others arrived. Xiaobei was especially happy to see Jiang Ying and ran towards him.
“Xiaobei, slow down. Don’t fall.” Madam He chased after him. When she saw that it was Jiang Ying and the Empress Dowager, she returned to her room to call Ning Yue out.
Hearing that it was Jiang Ying and the others, Ning Yue carried Xiaobao out and said to Madam He, “Mother, call Grandpa out.”
When Ning Yue arrived, the Empress Dowager was carrying Xiaobei in her arms. With a face full of saliva, she smiled happily. She carried Xiaobao to the Empress Dowager and bowed. “Greetings, Empress Dowager.”
“Alright, alright, alright. Yueyue is a good child.” The more the Empress Dowager looked at her two great-grandchildren, the more she liked them.
Ever since Xiaobao and Xiaobei came out, the Princess Consort of Jin had been staring at them with her beautiful eyes. They were her eldest grandson and granddaughter. They were so cute! She really wanted to bring the children home now.
Xiaobao and Xiaobei looked at the Princess Consort Jin’s hungry gaze and couldn’t help but shrink back.
“Xiaobao and Xiaobei, this is Grandpa and Grandma,” Jiang Ding said to the two children.
“Grandfather, Grandmother!”
“Grandfather, Grandmother!”
The cries of the two children made Prince Jin and Princess Consort Jin even more excited.
“Come, let Grandmother hug you.” Prince Jin extended his hand to Xiaobao, who was in Ning Yue’s arms.
It wasn’t that the Princess Consort Jin didn’t want to carry Xiaobei. She liked girls the most, but just as she was about to speak, the Empress Dowager’s gaze shot over like a knife.
She thought about it and decided to forget it. The empress dowager would be returning to the palace in a few days, so there would be even fewer opportunities to hold her two babies. She was different. She was the grandmother of two children. There was still a lot of time to get close to the children in the future, so she would not snatch her from the empress dowager.
At this moment, Old Master Ning walked out and welcomed them into the house. “Esteemed guests, please come in.”
Madam He went to call Ning Guang and Old Madam Ning. Then, only the Empress Dowager, Old Master Ning, Ning Yue, Jiang Ying, and the Prince Jin couple were left in the house.
“Old Master, let me introduce myself. I’m Jiang Ying’s father. My name is Jiang Huan. This is my mother, and this is my wife.” Prince Jin introduced himself to Old Master Ning.
Hearing Prince Jin’s introduction, a beautiful smile appeared on Ning Yue’s face.
Prince Jin did not think highly of himself. It was obvious that he respected Old Master Ning.
Seeing this scene, Ning Yue’s heart warmed. Prince Jin and Princess Consort Jin were both easy to get along with. Presumably, her life after marriage wouldn’t be too difficult. She would find an opportunity to ask Jiang Ying about his parents’ preferences.
At the thought of this, she looked at Jiang Ying and realized that he was also looking at her.
When their gazes met, the two of them turned around as if they were avoiding it, and their faces turned red.
At the side, when Princess Consort Jin saw the two of them exchanging glances, she couldn’t help but laugh and sigh at their good relationship!
“Your Highness.” Although Prince Jin did not put on airs, Old Master Ning did not lower his etiquette and still bowed to him.
“No, no, no. I can’t accept your courtesy. You’re Yueyue’s grandfather and have the same seniority as my parents.” Prince Jin pulled Old Master Ning back and stopped him.
“You’re the Prince of Jin. You can’t waste your etiquette on us,” Old Master Ning said.
Jiang Ying really couldn’t stand their pleasantries anymore. He asked Ning Yue softly, “Yueyue, where’s your father?”
“My father knows that a guest is coming. He’s hunting wild animals with Eldest Uncle at the back of the mountain,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“How can they do that? I’ll go over and help.” Before Jiang Ying could get up, he was stopped by Ning Yue.
“I’ll come with you to the mountain to help,” Ning Yue said to Jiang Ying.
According to the rules, she couldn’t stay here. Although Prince Jin and his wife were easy to get along with, she couldn’t break the rules.
“Alright, Jiang Ying, go with Yueyue and protect her well.” Princess Consort Jin looked at Ning Yue in satisfaction.
The more Princess Consort Jin looked at her daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she was.
As soon as she left the room, Jiang Ying told Ning Yue, “Yueyue, something big has happened in the capital recently.”
