205 Reasoning

“Why would I lie to you? Unless the crown prince lied to me,” the empress dowager said with a smile.

Ning Yue blushed and quickly explained, “No, no, no. Grandmother, that’s not what I meant. I was just too surprised. I knew that Second Uncle would come back, but I didn’t know that Second Uncle would be conferred the title of general.”

To put it simply, a major general was a captain of ten thousand people. Generals were different. Generals had three ranks: major generals, lieutenant generals, and senior generals.

No matter which level it was, he would have commanding rights. Becoming a general was Ning Chen’s dream!

He was different from the other brothers. The other brothers liked to read, but he liked to practice martial arts for to pursue his dream of becoming a general.

“I don’t know the exact level of conferment. The crown prince didn’t say it explicitly in the letter. By the way, there’s something else you should know.” The empress dowager lowered her voice and whispered explosive news to Ning Yue.

“The Crown Prince has decided to add ten thousand taels of silver to your dowry.”

Ten thousand taels of silver? Ning Yue’s eyes widened. Although ten thousand taels of silver was nothing to the endless supplements in her space, who would complain about having too much money?

The crown prince was also quite generous. He gave Ning Chen a thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of silver to her. This was almost a third of the assets he had obtained from Meng Hang’s nine generations.

However, Ning Yue knew very well that the crown prince had given her so much so that they could continue to cooperate in business in the future.

After all, there were many places in a country that needed money. He could not keep the money for long.

“Thank you, Empress Dowager. If there’s anything I need help with in the future, I’ll definitely do my best.” Ning Yue did not say that her business partner would consider the crown prince first in the future, but her words were similar.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she smiled in satisfaction. “Actually, I’ve always known that you’re a good child, Yueyue. Jiang Ying and the Crown Prince are brothers. They’ve always supported each other. With you in the future, they can go further. The Emperor said that he’s too bored in the palace and wants to come out to relax.”

Although she did not say that the emperor would come to Laifu Village, Ning Yue understood when the Empress Dowager mentioned it.

“When will the emperor set off?”

“I don’t know about that. There’s been a lot going on in the Imperial Court recently. Perhaps at the end of next month,” the Empress Dowager said.

Ning Yue nodded. It would be fine if she came anytime. She had to know in advance so that she could be prepared. Otherwise, if she neglected the emperor, something might happen.

Dinner time passed very happily. Ning Yue had not seen Xiaobao and Xiaobei for a long time. The two children stuck to her, unwilling to be separated for a minute.

“Good children, have you been obedient during the few days when Mother was not at home?” Ning Yue asked with a smile.

The two children were already more than a year old, and their words were slowly becoming clearer. When Ning Yue and Jiang Ying returned, the two children kept calling them father and mother, making Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s hearts soften.

“Mother, I was obedient, but Brother was not obedient and kept bullying me.” Xiaobei took advantage of his mother’s presence to complain to her.

“What’s wrong with your brother?” Ning Yue asked curiously.

Xiaobao was the older brother. The child was very sensible and obedient. He had probably inherited it from his father and looked mature.

God knew that this child was only a year old and was already very smart.

Although Xiaobei was also very smart, she was not as mature as Xiaobao. Most of the time, she would be more like an ordinary child, gluttonous and playful.

“Xiaobei wants to eat. Brother won’t let me,” Xiaobei said angrily.

She still remembered the pork trotters this morning. She had only eaten half of them when her brother said that she was a glutton and wouldn’t let her eat so much.

“Xiaobao, what’s going on?” Ning Yue asked.

“Xiaobei has already eaten two small bowls of white porridge and side dishes for breakfast and two large bowls of soy milk. She even ate half a pig trotter under such circumstances. I was worried that she would burst, so I said a few words,” Xiaobao said with a frown.

Such a Xiaobao was simply a miniature version of Jiang Ying. She wondered if Jiang Ying was like this when he was young.

Hearing Xiaobao’s words, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “I understand, Xiaobei. Listen to Mother tell you a story. You’ve seen balloons, right?”

She had a lot of balloons in her space. Occasionally, she would take them out for the children to play with, but the children were too young. She only took them out because she was afraid that the children would eat them by mistake.
