400 Wanting to Offer Incense
Old Master Ning had received too much news, so he was a little uneasy now.
“Grandpa, don’t think too much. Let’s face it calmly,” Jiang Ying comforted.
Old Master Ning swallowed. Could he face this matter calmly? This was a matter of nobility, a matter of the entire Ning family.
Old Master Ning really wanted to return to his ancestral grave to offer incense and tell his ancestors that they had brought honor to their ancestors.
Seeing the old man’s excitement, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Grandpa, in a few days, I’ll go to the capital to tell Brother Crown Prince about your fief.”
“By the way, you were just talking about the fief. Will we still have a fief after we’re conferred a title?” Old Master Ning asked.
“Of course. Yueyue also has a fief. I might be able to get your fiefs to be closer to each other when the time comes. That way, it would be convenient to come and go,” Jiang Ying said.
When Old Master Ning heard this, he was extremely touched. Jiang Ying had considered this for them. No matter what, Ning Yue was lucky to meet a fiancé like Jiang Ying.
“Jiang Ying, I don’t know how to thank you. It’s our blessing that you’ve considered so much for Yueyue and the entire Ning family!” Old Master Ning said.
“Grandpa, we’re family. Don’t say anything. It’s my blessing to meet you,” Jiang Ying said.
“Grandpa and Jiang Ying, are you done chatting? Come out for lunch.” Ning Yue’s voice came from outside the door.
The two of them looked over at the same time and saw Ning Yue smiling at them.
“Yueyue,” Jiang Ying called out.
Ning Yue smiled. “Grandpa and Jiang Ying, are you done chatting?”
“Alright, let’s have lunch! We’ll go over immediately. Jiang Ying, let’s go together.” Old Master Ning walked at the front with a smile.
Jiang Ying and Ning Yue walked behind him. Ning Yue asked softly, “I thought I heard you say that you were going to the capital in advance?”
“Yes, I’m going in advance. I can tell Brother Crown Prince about the Old Master’s fief,” Jiang Ying said.
“Where do you plan for Grandpa’s fief to be?” Ning Yue asked him.
“Somewhere closer to your fief. Your fief happens to be beside my father’s fief. I’ll ask the crown prince for a fief that’s closer to yours. This way, it’ll be easy for you to go home after we get married,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue blushed and stomped her feet. She was shy. “What marriage? I don’t want to marry you yet.”
“Don’t say that, Yueyue. The imperial edict has been issued. Why are you still saying that you won’t get married?” Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue unhappily.
“Oh, I’m not talking to you anymore.” With that, Ning Yue jogged to the dining room.
Jiang Ying followed Ning Yue to the dining room. He was about to say something when he saw the eunuch.
The eunuch did not expect Jiang Ying to come to the Ning family during lunch. He quickly stood up and bowed to Jiang Ying, feeling a little guilty.
Originally, he should have left after reading the imperial edict, but he was greedy. He wanted to eat lunch with Ning Yue’s family before setting off for the capital.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying arrived during lunch.
Other times, he was not afraid, but it was different now. He was originally a eunuch serving the emperor, but now he was gluttonous and playful. He was unwilling to return to the palace.
If Jiang Ying said it in front of the emperor, he might lose his head.
Jiang Ying knew what the eunuch was thinking. He smiled at him. “It just so happens that Eunuch is here. I have to enter the capital in a few days. Why don’t you come with me?”
Jiang Ying’s words delighted the eunuch. Jiang Ying had invited him to the capital, which meant that he could stay here for a few days. He would not tell the emperor that he was staying here.
He wanted to agree. After all, the Ning family had delicious food, wine, and fruits. He really wanted to stay here for a year and a half.
He almost agreed, but fortunately he stopped himself in the end, because he was a eunuch serving the emperor. He couldn’t stay here without the emperor’s orders.
It was good enough to stay for lunch.
The eunuch held back his excitement and said to Jiang Ying, “Thank you very much, your highness. I’m here to serve the emperor. I can’t stay for so many days. I’m leaving in the afternoon. I wonder if you have any large luggages that you need to bring over. I can help.”
