A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Since the Empress Dowager was unwilling to return to the palace, Prince Jin could only bring her along.

In order to let the Empress Dowager adapt, they deliberately slowed down and finally arrived at Laifu Village on the fourth day.

“Have you prepared the betrothal gift?” the Empress Dowager asked.

“Don’t worry, Mother. We’re all ready.” Prince Jin smiled.

“Okay, that’s good.” The empress dowager was very satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law, Ning Yue. She specially asked the emperor to give her an imperial edict to be conferred the title of princess.

Of course, she had to keep the appointment a secret. Everyone would know when the imperial edict was issued.

After eating something in Laifu Village, the group returned to Prince Jin’s Residence.

At this moment, Jiang Ying was still on his way back.

Ning Yue handled the matters on the battlefield very well. Other than comforting the people, he did not need to do anything else. Therefore, when he received the news from Prince Jin’s Residence, he quickly rushed back. “Grandmother, Father and Mother.”

“Why didn’t you bring my two great-grandsons over? It’s not easy for me to come all the way here.”

The Empress Dowager was immediately unhappy when she did not see the two children.

“Imperial Grandmother, there’s no hurry. Rest well first, then we’ll go see the two children. Otherwise, how would you have the energy to play with them?” Jiang Ying advised the Empress Dowager.

“You’re right.” She couldn’t play with the two children until she’d rested.

“I’ll go to bed first. You guys go ahead!” With that, the Empress Dowager rushed back to her room.

Prince Jin looked at the empress dowager, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The old lady was right.

“Father, are you going to the Ning family to propose marriage?” Jiang Ying asked.

“Yes, we’ll go tomorrow,” said King Jin.

Jiang Ying nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell Yueyue later.”

He did not dare to tell Prince Jin that if he did not tell Ning Yue in advance, based on her personality, she would definitely punch him a few times in the face. At that time, he would become the first prospective groom in history to be beaten up by his fiancée.

“Alright.” Prince Jin looked at his son in satisfaction. In the past, he had thought that Jiang Ying was unwilling to get married because of a problem in that area. Now, this child had someone he liked, children, and a small family of his own.

“Tell Ning Yue that your mother and I will visit her and the children tomorrow,” King Jin said.

He was even happier to hear Prince Jin’s words. His father and mother were very satisfied with his marriage with Ning Yue. A marriage with the blessings of the elders was the happiest.

“Father, I still have something on. Go ahead.” With that, Jiang Ying ran away impatiently.

Seeing Jiang Ying arrive, Ning Yue immediately put down what she was doing. “Why are you here?”

“Yueyue, is it convenient for you? I have something to tell you.” Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue nervously.

Ning Yue was confused. “Why are you nervous?”

“I…” His face turned red. For a moment, he didn’t know how to tell Ning Yue about the marriage proposal.
