251 Gift

Jiang Ying did not know that he had already been targeted by his uncle, the emperor. At this moment, he was still sleeping happily.

Ning Yue returned home and lay on the bed. Thinking about what she had heard in the General’s Residence, she could not fall asleep.

Her grandmother was very kind, and this kindness was used in the right places. Ning Yue hated An Yuan.

It was that old witch, An Yuan, who had harmed Liu Yun’s mother and sowed discord between her and the Liu family!

An Yuan’s various crimes were not even enough to be written on a piece of paper!

Finally, Ning Yue fell asleep in the latter half of the night and was woken up early in the morning. It turned out that the empress dowager’s carriage had arrived.

The empress dowager set off a day later than them. The reason was that she had to collect the vegetables first. Now that she had arrived, the empress dowager’s expression was a little ugly.

As soon as she arrived in the capital, the emperor sent someone to pick her up, but she ignored him and ordered the coachman to rush to Ning Yue’s house.

The people sent by the emperor were worried about the Empress Dowager’s safety and followed her to their house.

Therefore, Ning Yue was woken up by these noisy voices.

She walked out of the door, and the Empress Dowager’s originally gloomy face instantly changed.

She smiled at Ning Yue. “Yueyue, you’re up? Look, I came later than you to bring some small gifts.”

Ning Yue looked in shock at the three large carriages behind the Empress Dowager’s carriage.

Could this be called a small gift? What small gift could fill all three carriages?

“Grandmother, have you eaten breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?” Ning Yue asked.

At this moment, Jiang Ying had also woken up with the two children. When Xiaobei saw the empress dowager, she rushed forward and hugged her. However, because she was not tall enough, she could only hug the empress dowager’s calf.

“Great-grandmother!” Xiaobei smiled happily.

“Oh, my dear. Did Xiaobei miss Great-Grandmother?” The Empress Dowager picked Xiaobei up and beamed.

“Of course. Xiaobei misses Great-Grandmother the most,” Xiaobei said. There was good food to eat with Great-Grandmother. She loved it the most.

The empress dowager couldn’t help but kiss Xiaobei on the cheek. She said to the emperor’s men, “Can’t you see that I’m busy? Aren’t you going back?”

“Empress Dowager…” The guards looked troubled.

The emperor had said that he had to bring the Empress Dowager back to the palace. If they did not bring her back, the emperor would definitely be angry.

“I’m fine. Stop calling me that. It’ll shorten my lifespan,” the empress dowager said angrily.

The guards were about to cry. They did not dare to disobey the emperor’s orders, but they had to listen to the Empress Dowager’s orders.

What should they do? The orders of both sides had conflicted. Who should they listen to?

Jiang Ying could tell that the guards were in a difficult position. He carried Xiaobao forward. “Go back first. Tell him that Imperial Grandmother will stay with me for a few days. In a few days, I’ll bring Imperial Grandmother back to the palace.”

With Jiang Ying’s words, the guards were extremely happy. Since the heir had spoken, they would definitely not be scolded by the emperor when they returned.

After the guards left, the Empress Dowager’s expression softened a lot.

After the guard left, the empress dowager asked impatiently, “Yueyue, why are you suddenly returning to the capital?”

It seemed that the empress dowager did not want to return to the capital. She was already used to it in the countryside.

If Jiang Ying hadn’t told her that if she didn’t return to the palace, the emperor planned to visit incognito, she wouldn’t have returned.

“Grandmother, I miss the capital. I miss my grandmother too. You’ve been out of the palace for so long. Don’t you miss the emperor, the crown prince, and Xiaochi?” Ning Yue asked.

If Ning Yue only asked the empress dowager if she missed the emperor, she would rather die than think about it. She had lived for so long and had worked hard for the first half of her life for her son, the emperor.

If it was the crown prince, he did miss him a little.

If it was Xiaochi…

She missed Xiaochi so much. Xiaochi was also her great-grandson. She thought of Xiaobao and Xiaobei the way she thought of Xiaochi.

Seeing the longing expression on the Empress Dowager’s face, Ning Yue continued, “Grandmother, I was instructed by Master to go in and take the emperor’s pulse. Why don’t we go together?”

“That’s right, Imperial Grandmother. Xiaochi is also in the palace today,” Jiang Ying said.

Hearing that Xiaochi was also in the palace, the empress dowager’s mood immediately changed. Speaking of which, she had not seen Xiaochi for a long time and missed him a lot.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go with you,” the Empress Dowager said.

“Then let’s go after breakfast.” With that, Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying to take care of the two children and went into the kitchen to get busy.

She made a very simple breakfast of onions and noodles. Jiang Ying, Yuan Hui, and the Empress Dowager ate it and liked it very much.
