A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

304 Surprise

In the emperor’s opinion, Ning Yue was not only Princess Mingyue of their Great Yun Nation, but also the future empress of Russia.

The thought of it was exciting.

“Actually, I’m here because I have a favor to ask of you.” The emperor looked at the two of them solemnly.

Ning Yue’s eyes widened. What did the emperor want to do? He could just issue an imperial edict. Suddenly saying that he wanted to ask them for help made her feel very afraid.

“What does Uncle Emperor want us to do?” Jiang Ying asked.

Ning Yue sighed. If the emperor gave her a difficult problem, she would definitely not agree.

“You have some business cooperation with the crown prince. The shop you co-own with has a lot of profit margin.” With that, the emperor glanced at Ning Yue.

The emperor’s words were very pleasant, as if he was praising Ning Yue. At the same time, Ning Yue knew very well that the emperor was not here just to say good things.

“What happened to Lotus and Yu Ming here will definitely be used by the Emperor of the Black City Kingdom as a reason to start a war. Whether we win in the end or not, the process will hurt the residents of the borderlands. I don’t want them to suffer because of the war. Therefore, I hope you can continue to help me open some money-making shops.”

Before Ning Yue could speak, the emperor took out a jade pendant and an imperial edict.

“The jade pendant is the token of all industries. The imperial edict is empty. I didn’t write the contents,” the emperor said.

Ning Yue was stunned. The imperial edict was empty, which meant that the emperor could agree to any of her requests.

In the end, if her request was to do everything in the country or ask the emperor to abdicate his position, as long as she dared to write, she would definitely be able to get it.

Ning Yue was in a difficult position and did not take the jade pendant and imperial edict immediately.

Jiang Ying asked the emperor, “Uncle Emperor, why are you developing businesses?”

“Because I want to make money,” the emperor said.

Come on, this was just an excuse!

Jiang Ying couldn’t help but want to expose the emperor. He could swear to the heavens that the emperor’s goal was definitely not as simple as earning money.

Before Jiang Ying could speak, Ning Yue said, “I’ll take it.”

Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue in surprise. “Yueyue, are you sure you want to accept it?”

“Yes, before I accept it, I have a few conditions to raise,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying was stunned. He did not expect Ning Yue to negotiate with the emperor.

The imperial edict was empty. She could already make any request she wanted. Other than the imperial edict, she also wanted a few conditions. Ning Yue’s appetite was a little big.

The emperor was a little unhappy, but he resisted the urge to curse. “What conditions?” he asked.

“I want to be fully in charge of these shops. All the people in the shops are at my disposal. Finally, please don’t interfere in my arrangements for the shops,” Ning Yue said.

What she meant was very simple. She wanted absolute leadership over those shops.

“Of course. I’ll do my best to take care of your shops and try not to make them lose money,” Ning Yue said.

The emperor agreed without thinking. “Don’t worry. These shops only recognize jade pendants and not people. There’s only one industrial jade pendant. I’ll give it to you now.”

Ning Yue would definitely be in charge of those shops. The emperor would not interfere. He believed that Ning Yue would not disappoint him!

The imperial edict became Ning Yue’s guarantee. If anything happened to those shops after this, Ning Yue was not afraid, so she dared to raise conditions with the emperor.

This was to prevent problems from stopping her when she realized that there was a business opportunity.

Jiang Ying was a little surprised. Ning Yue had negotiated with the emperor and even made him agree in the end. Ning Yue was really amazing!

After the two of them agreed on a happy cooperation, the emperor smiled in relief.

As long as she thought that she was getting closer and closer to her dream of a business empire, Ning Yue became even more motivated.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, the emperor said to Ning Yue, “Jiang Ying and I still have something to talk about. Go back first. By the way, the Three Kingdoms Festival was very successful with you around.”

The Three Kingdoms Festival was very successful? Ning Yue was stunned. The Three Kingdoms Festival had yet to end. Who knew how many days this banquet would last? Now that there was an accident in the villa, the Three Kingdoms Festival might be delayed.

Why did the emperor say that?

Even if she couldn’t figure it out, Ning Yue didn’t ask further. She turned around and left.

After she left, the emperor couldn’t help but laugh. “Jiang Ying, I only found out today how powerful your fiancee is as the future heiress.”

He was the emperor of a country. If anyone received his token and imperial edict, they would have knelt down to thank him long ago. However, Ning Yue still negotiated with him without changing her expression.
