Jiang Huan knew that even Divine Doctor Gu could not cure that poison. Ning Yue being able to make the detoxification pill was a huge contribution.

“Do you mean that this border city war was won thanks to Ning Yue?” Xin Xin frowned.

“Of course,” Jiang Huan said.

Actually, there was something else he did not say. Although what Ning Feng and Jiang Ying wrote in their memorials was briefly mentioned, he could guess that what Ning Yue did exceeded his imagination.

It had to be known that if poisoned corpses were thrown together and not dealt with properly, it would almost become a plague.

Under such circumstances, all the military doctors were helpless, but Ning Yue handled it as soon as she went. One could imagine the hardships Ning Yue experienced.

They all knew that if they wrote about Ning Yue too well, the emperor would definitely remember her. If the emperor used Ning Yue as a secret weapon to expand his reach outwards, Ning Yue would never have freedom in her life.

Fortunately, Ning Feng was a clear-headed person and did not sell his daughter.

“That’s even easier. Ning Yue has contributed so much to quelling this war. If the emperor doesn’t reward her well, it won’t make sense,” Xin Xin said.

In the end, it was still for Ning Yue’s betrothal gift.

“I heard from my mother that the emperor will confer Ning Yue as a princess and give her a fief. As for how much he will give her, I don’t know,” Jiang Huan said.

“What’s a fief? Is it edible or usable? These things are not as practical as money.” Xin Xin rolled her eyes inelegantly.

He had to make sure that the fief given by the emperor was a good place. If it was the kind that nothing could be cultivated, forget it.

“I know what to do. Don’t worry.” He was actually very poor too. He had emptied his pockets to help the emperor. It would not make sense if the emperor was still so stingy with the betrothal gift.

“Alright, alright. Get ready to go back. I still have something to do.” Xin Xin waved her hand impatiently. She still had to see her two precious grandchildren later. She didn’t have time to talk to Jiang Huan.

Seeing that his wife had chased him out without any reluctance, Jiang Huan sighed heavily. He packed his things and rode a fast horse into the capital.

As soon as Jiang Huan left, Xin Xin could not wait to return to the Ning family with a gift.

Ning Yue did not expect Princess Jin to return so quickly. She was inevitably stunned for a moment. Xin Xin entered the courtyard and asked, “Where are the two children? Where did they go? I brought back some small toys from the border. They must not have played with them before,” Xin Xin said with a smile.

“The two children are playing outside now. Auntie, I want to ask you what you usually do at home?” Ning Yue asked.

She had originally asked Jiang Ying this question, but Jiang Ying only said, “My mother doesn’t have any special preferences. My grandmother died early, and my mother was raised by my grandfather since she was young. She’s different from the young ladies. She doesn’t have the temper of a young lady. She’s straightforward and decisive. Her personality is a little similar to yours. She likes to be straightforward.”

Since she could not hear an answer from Jiang Ying, she might as well ask her directly.

Although Xin Xin did not know why Ning Yue suddenly asked this, she still replied seriously, “I usually like to read novels and farm at home. Other than at night, your Uncle Jiang has never been home. If I don’t find some fun, I can’t live such a boring life.”

As soon as she heard the word novel, Ning Yue’s eyes lit up. She was also a novel lover, so the two of them immediately chatted about this topic. When the empress dowager returned with the two children, she saw Xin Xin and Ning Yue chatting happily.

The empress dowager was unhappy. What were they talking about that made them so happy? They actually didn’t include her!

“What are you talking about? You’re so happy,” the empress dowager asked.

“Mother, Yueyue and I are talking about novels. Yueyue said that she has read novels where people and immortals talk about love. It’s different from what we usually read!” Xin Xin said with a smile.

The empress dowager was interested. “Oh? Can immortals date? How do they date?”

Seeing the empress dowager’s interested gaze, Ning Yue was instantly amused. She could already smell a business opportunity.

“Grandmother, why don’t I write it and show it to you?” Ning Yue said with a smile. She was like an angler who had thrown a hook into the empress dowager’s heart, tempting her.

“Give it to me quickly. I can’t wait,” the empress dowager said excitedly.

She had something to do again. Not bad, not bad.
