Chapter 485 - 485: Gift



Seeing the Empress Dowager, Jiang Ying hurriedly went forward to support her. “Imperial Grandmother!”

“Imperial Grandmother, you’re here? We can sit down and eat together. What else do you want to eat? 1’11 cook immediately,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

The empress dowager did not stand on ceremony. She was here to eat, so of course she would not treat her stomach badly. She quickly told Ning Yue a few dishes she liked.

Ning Yue brought the maidservant to the kitchen. Previously, Madam Liu and the others had been busy with her for the entire afternoon. They were all pregnant, so she couldn’t bear to tire them out again.

Soon, Ning Yue made the dishes the empress dowager had ordered.

When the dishes were served, the empress dowager’s eyes were almost narrowed into slits. She was happiest when she came to the Ning family.

“I love the atmosphere in your family the most,” the empress dowager said with emotion as she ate.

In the palace, the emperor could not eat with her every day. It was fine when her grandchildren were young because her palace could still be lively.

But now that her grandchildren had grown up and their fathers had been conferred the title of king, those children had gone to their fiefs with their fathers.

For example, Jiang Ying would often be in the fief. Even if he came to the capital, he could not enter the palace to accompany her every day.

Rules made people so helpless.

“Imperial Grandmother, if you like it, you can come to our house often,” Ning Yue said.

She did not dare to tell the Empress Dowager directly that she could stay if she liked. She knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely take advantage of the situation.

The status of the Ning family was different from before. The Empress Dowager could not continue to live in the Ning Family like before, or she would endanger the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence. Old Master Ning had already been plotted against once because he was a marquis.

Although everything was investigated in the end, what happened after that? Could they guarantee that everything would be fine?

The empress dowager naturally knew what Ning Yue was thinking, because this was also her concern. If the Ning family was still the same as before, she would have moved in no matter what. Now, everything was different.

She smiled and replied to Ning Yue, “Alright, I’ll come often when 1 have time, but I’ve been too busy recently. It’s only at noon that I finally have some time to come and eat with you. After eating, I have to return to the palace.”

“But I came today to give something to you,” the empress dowager said as she asked the maidservant beside her to hand the gift she had brought to Ning Yue.

“Actually, I should have handed it to you the first time you came to the capital. In the end, it took so long,” the empress dowager said.

The maidservant was holding a wooden box. The gift the Empress Dowager had mentioned should be inside.

Ning Yue took the wooden box and opened it. It was a dragon and phoenix jade pendant!

Jiang Ying had also given her this jade pendant. He said that it was for the two children. The jade pendant given by the empress dowager was the same as Jiang Ying’s, but slightly bigger.

“This is the jade pendant that the late emperor gave me. He said that he would give it to Jiang Ying after he married. Now that he has a child, I should give this to you,” the Empress Dowager said.

Ning Yue was stunned. This was something given by the late emperor. She hurriedly stood up to thank the Empress Dowager, but she was stopped by her.

“Alright, alright. There’s no need to be so polite. We’re all family here. Your uncle is still here. You’re going to make your uncle angry with me.”

As the empress dowager spoke, she joked with Yuan Hui, who hurriedly said, “No, my niece can’t be happier to receive the love of the Empress Dowager of the Great Yun Nation.”

When the empress dowager heard this, she beamed. “Oh, as expected of the emperor. His mouth is so glib.”

“Alright, let’s eat. Stop chatting. 1 saw the dishes Yueyue made for me. I’m almost starving.” The empress dowager looked at the large table of dishes in front of her and her mood became especially good.

Everyone chatted and ate. The empress dowager could even chat with her two great-grandsons, Xiaobao and Xiaobei. This was the happiest thing for her.

Unfortunately, happy times always pass quickly. The Empress Dowager had to return to the palace after lunch.

She looked at the Ning family with mixed feelings. She didn’t know how long it would be before she could come again.

Ning Yue sent the Empress Dowager out and said to her with a smile, “Imperial Grandmother, come and visit often when you’re free.” “Alright, I’ll definitely come when I’m free,” the Empress Dowager replied..
