A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

When Ning Yue heard this, she blushed.

Yuan Hui said this as if she hated marriage. What could she say?

“Alright, I’m here too. It just so happens that 1’11 enter the palace to discuss your marriage with the emperor. Xiaobao and Xiaobei are already so old. If you don’t hold a wedding soon, how long will Xiaobao and Xiaobei have to wait before they have younger siblings?”

Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, Ning Yue’s face turned even redder. She opened her mouth to say that it was too fast, but Jiang Ying beat her to it.

“I’ll listen to Uncle.” Jiang Ying grinned. This smile looked silly no matter how he looked at it.

“That’s good. It’s late today. I’ll enter the palace of Great Yun Nation to visit the emperor tomorrow and tell him about your marriage,” Yuan Hui said with a smile.

It was calm now, but what happened a few days ago made the emperor even busier. Now that Yuan Hui had entered the palace, he had to more or less pay attention to the emperor’s emotions.

“By the way, something happened to Uncle recently,” Ning Yue said as she told Yuan Hui about the Retired Emperor.

Yuan Hui’s expression instantly darkened. “The matter of Black City Kingdom has been dealt with appropriately. Who else in the world is so blind to plot against the Retired Emperor?”

“It’s Consort Shu.” Ning Yue told Yuan Hui the results of Jiang Ying and the emperor’s investigation.

Yuan Hui almost couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Alright, this was a fire in the backyard. It had nothing to do with their national affairs.

“Alright, 1 know what you mean. I’ll be careful. Your marriage has been delayed for a long time. You can’t delay it any longer,” Yuan Hui said with a smile.

Actually, Yuan Hui’s idea was that after they got married, he could directly nurture Xiaobao to be the emperor. Of course, Xiaobao was still young and he needed time to nurture him, so he would not be too anxious.

Yuan Hui was scheming. He wanted to immediately bring Xiaobao to his side and nurture him well. However, he only thought about it and did not act on it.

The next day, Yuan Hui entered the palace and told the emperor his thoughts. The emperor raised his hands and feet in agreement.

“Emperor of Great Yun Nation, I have an idea. Give some cities to Ning Yue as fiefs. I’ve seen a few cities that are closer to the border. Why don’t 1 give a few cities on my side to Ning Yue? This way, with her fiefs in the middle, it’ll be easier for our two countries to contact each other.”

Yuan Hui said that he wanted to give a few cities to Ning Yue as fiefs, but it was actually to give Ning Yue confidence and let everyone know that Ning Yue had him, her uncle, as her strong backing.

No one could bully Ning Yue!

At the same time, this was also Yuan Hui’s small warning. He hoped that Jiang Ying would be loyal to Ning Yue. If Jiang Ying let Ning Yue down, he would definitely not let him off.

Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, the emperor instantly understood what he meant.

“Alright, this is your good intention. I don’t think Ning Yue will refuse,” the emperor said.

Then, the two of them chatted for a while more. Yuan Hui hinted to the emperor that he wanted to nurture Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s child, Xiaobao, as his successor.

Although the emperor was shocked, he could still accept it.

After all, Yuan Hui was already old. Who knew how many years he would have to nurture a child at this time? If he had a child with mediocre aptitude, wouldn’t it be troublesome?

Therefore, the emperor quickly understood Yuan Hui.

However, this was only Yuan Hui’s hint. He did not make it clear, so the emperor did not say anything.

On the other hand, it meant that he would definitely help with all his might.

Yuan Hui was relieved.

Of course, it was not just Yuan Hui. The emperor was even more relieved.

Who was Xiaobao? That was Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s son. Who was Jiang Ying? That was his cousin.

Jiang Ying had been on his side since he was young and had always assisted him when he grew up.

He was as at ease with Jiang Ying as the Retired Emperor was with the heir of Jin.

Even if everyone in the world had rebelled, these two would never harm them.

Since Jiang Ying’s son would ascend the throne, he was very happy.

After returning to his residence, Yuan Hui sent someone to pass a message to Ning Yue and told her his thoughts.

Ning Yue didn’t know what to feel. She sighed and said to the messenger, “Go back and tell Uncle that this matter has to be taken slowly.”

He did not say it directly, but Yuan Hui also understood that Ning Yue meant to let Xiaobao choose his own path in the future.

If Xiaobao was willing to be the emperor, so be it.

If Xiaobao was unwilling, there was nothing he could do..
