247 Entering the Capital
Gu Yu’s actions touched Ning Yue. “Thank you, Master.”
“You’re my disciple. Why are you thanking me? Alright, be careful on the way,” Gu Yu said.
After Ning Yue bade farewell to Gu Yu, she brought Xiaobao, Xiaobei, Jiang Ying, and Yuan Hui into the capital.
The journey took three days. When they arrived in the capital, Xiaobao and Xiaobei looked very interested in everything along the way as they rarely went out.
At this moment, the two children were so tired that they fell asleep. Jiang Ying and Ning Yue carried them out of the carriage.
Yuan Hui and Jiang Ying both moved into the house Ning Yue had bought previously.
Before the group arrived at the capital, the emperor had already received the news. After they entered the capital, he left the palace immediately.
Almost at the same time as the three of them arrived, the emperor arrived.
Yuan Hui had said earlier that he wanted to discuss jointly resisting the enemy with them, but Yuan Hui kept delaying things.
Now that he had suggested a marriage alliance, Jiang Ying was unwilling. He was also afraid that if he angered Yuan Hui, the alliance would be destroyed.
“Uncle Emperor Sheng’an.”
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Jiang Ying and Ning Yue each carried a child and bowed to the emperor. The emperor smiled and nodded.
“Emperor of Russia, I wonder if you’re living comfortably here.” The first thing the emperor said was to ask Yuan Hui to move.
Yuan Hui almost rolled his eyes. They had just arrived and had yet to stay over, but he was already asking if he was comfortable.
“Thank you, Emperor of Great Yun. I’m living very well,” Yuan Hui said.
Who didn’t know how to say polite words?
However, after Yuan Hui finished speaking, the scene became very awkward, making the emperor feel a little uneasy.
“That’s good.” The emperor smiled and looked at Jiang Ying, indicating that he should say something so that the scene wouldn’t be awkward.
Jiang Ying acted as if he did not see it. Other than saying a word or two when he first greeted the emperor, he had been silent until now.
“Emperor of Russia, when can we discuss joining forces to resist the enemy? There’s been some activity in the Black City Kingdom recently.” The emperor asked with a smile.
Although the Great Yun Nation was powerful, compared to Russia, which was stronger overall, the Great Yun Nation was slightly inferior.
The emperor’s tone was respectful, but he did not lower himself. His status was equivalent to Yuan Hui’s.
“We can discuss it at any time, but before that, I have something else to tell you.” Yuan Hui smiled at the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he knew that something was wrong. He knew that Yuan Hui must be talking about Jiang Ying rejecting the marriage.
When Ning Yue and Jiang Ying heard the main topic, they perked up.
“A few days ago, I said that I wanted to have a marriage with the Great Yun Nation, but you refused. In that case, I can’t give you the dowry.” As he spoke, Yuan Hui deliberately pretended to be very regretful.
When the Emperor of Great Yun heard this, he almost flew into a rage again. Previously, he had felt uncomfortable because of this matter and had been seriously ill for two days. It was not easy for him to go out today, but when Yuan Hui mentioned this again, he almost fainted again.
When he finally calmed down, he glared at Jiang Ying.
“Look, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue are in love. As elders, we shouldn’t break them up.”
Hearing the emperor’s words, Yuan Hui smiled. “I didn’t say that I wanted to break up Jiang Ying and Ning Yue. Did I forget to tell you that Princess Mingyue of Russia is the same person as Princess Mingyue of your country?”
The emperor’s eyes widened when he heard that. It was actually the same person. What did he mean?
“Emperor of Russia, do you mean that Ning Yue is the legitimate princess of your country?” The emperor felt that he could not accept it.
Ning Yue’s father was Ning Feng, who was clearly the Zhenbei General of the Great Yun Nation. Ning Yue’s biological mother was also from the Great Yun Nation.
Her biological mother and adoptive mother were both the daughters of County Deputy Liu. How were they related to Russia?
“I forgot to tell you that I already know the whereabouts of my sister. She was adopted by County Deputy Liu, which is what you know. His youngest daughter is my biological sister.”
The words sounded tongue-tied, but the emperor understood them.
“Doesn’t this mean that Ning Yue is your niece?” the emperor asked in disbelief.
“Yes, Yueyue. Call me,” Yuan Hui said to Ning Yue.
“Uncle!” Ning Yue greeted him cooperatively.
“Hey! How obedient!” Yuan Hui said with a smile.
The emperor’s eyes widened. Ning Yue was actually Princess Mingyue of Russia!
