Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 488 Undercurrent surging

Their eyes met and Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly to him, remaining calm and composed as usual.

The corners of Xiao Linfeng's mouth rose slightly. She hadn't changed at all. She was still that spirited woman, strong and fearless, which made people impressed.

He bowed deeply, "Minister, Xiao Linfeng is back."

Ning Zhiwei noticed that he was a little slow in his movements, so she quickly stepped forward to help him up, "Master Xiao, you have worked hard, are you okay? Are you injured? Why have you never mentioned it before?"

She has always been considerate of her subordinates and is not a mean and ungrateful boss.

Xiao Linfeng smiled slightly, "It's inevitable to get injured while charging into battle, but I've almost recovered."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a few times and said with concern, "Let Shaoyao and the imperial doctors take a good look at you. Your health is the most important thing. You must take care of yourself."

Xiao Linfeng's eyebrows were full of smiles, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Rong Jing pursed his lips slightly. This man is too scheming. He was so free and easy just now, why is he pretending now?

It’s not that he wasn’t injured, but he was the former commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a man who had walked out of a bloody storm. He remained calm even when stabbed by a sharp blade, so how could he show any injury because of a mere injury?

He cleared his throat and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, I have brought General Black Hawk's entire family here. The soldiers are stationed at the post station outside the city and are being taken care of by someone special."

Ning Ba originally wanted to come back alone, and A Yu tried every means to stop him but failed, so he could only bring his two sons back with him.

Live together, die together.

His loyal subordinates also clamored to follow him, and this time he returned with three thousand soldiers.

It's impossible to put all these soldiers into the city, it's not safe.

Therefore, only about twenty guards followed him into the city.

Ning Zhiwei's gaze shifted to Rong Jing, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was smiling, and Rong Jing looked back at her calmly.

Her gaze shifted to the right, falling on the masked man in black. The man's body was tense and he was obviously nervous.

She smiled warmly, "General Black Hawk, welcome your whole family to Yong State."

He was called General Black Hawk all the time and treated as a foreign envoy. This was an agreed condition in advance.

Ning Ba looked dazed, looking at the woman in the bright yellow dragon robe, he was greatly shocked.

Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it is another.

The willful and capricious little girl of the past really became the emperor, achieved great success, and was admired by the world.

His heart was in turmoil, and he bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, congratulations on your wedding, and I wish you a long and happy marriage."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a long time. He seemed to have changed a lot. The way he looked at her was also different. She didn't know how long it took for his memory to recover. "Thank you."

This was not the place to chat, so she didn't talk much. "Why aren't you seeing your wife and the children?"

Ning Ba turned his head to look at the carriage and called out, "Ayu."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman in strange clothes came down with two children.

The three bowed and saluted, "Ah Yu greets His Majesty the Emperor of Yong. May His Majesty be blessed with good health."

Ayu's attitude was respectful yet distant.

The two children followed their mother's instructions and said, "I have met His Majesty the Emperor of Yong State safely. May His Majesty be blessed with good health."

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Yong, may His Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Ning Zhiwei glanced at Ayu indifferently. Ayu felt a chill on her back and a chill rising from the soles of her feet. She couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

She couldn't help but be secretly surprised at how terrifying the empress's pressure was.

Ning Zhiwei's attention fell on the two children, "Safe and sound? Is this a big name?"

The two children are twins and look exactly the same. Their facial features are more like A Yu, except for their eyes and nose that are like Ning Ba, especially the nose, which has obvious characteristics of the Ning family.

Ning Ba said without hesitation, "It's a nickname. Please give me a full name, Your Majesty."

The two children looked at their father at the same time. Nickname? It's still a nickname after all these years? No way?

Also, don’t you think it’s strange to let the emperor of another country name you?

Ah Yu advised softly, "Husband, this is inappropriate, isn't it? If you think this name is not nice enough, why not give them a new one."

But Ning Ba insisted, "Your Majesty, please give me a name."

A Yu felt a little embarrassed. Her husband's thoughts were becoming increasingly difficult to guess. Once there was a rift between a couple, it would be difficult to restore things to their original state.

But what did she do wrong? Everything she did was for this family.

Ning Zhiwei did not shirk his responsibilities. He paused for a moment and said, "If a man does not believe in something, he cannot stand. Harmony means peace and harmony. Hero means hero."

After all, she had been the head of the Ning family, so she was qualified to name the two descendants of the Ning family.

Ning Ba was also testing the water. When he heard these two names, his eyes became hot and his voice choked.

"Xinhe, Xinjie, nice names."

He pushed his two sons excitedly and said, "Dabao, Xiaobao, from now on you will be called Xinhe and Xinjie. Come on, kneel down and thank the emperor for the name you gave me."

Everyone has a origin, and family is that origin.

Xiaobao was confused, but Dabao understood a little bit. The letter was the ranking of the next generation of the Ning family. Did it mean accepting them?

The female emperor is quite nice.

Although the father didn't say it, he still cared about his family and hoped that the brothers would return to their roots.

He pulled his brother down to kneel, and knelt firmly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."

A Yu's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Ning Zhiwei waved his hand, and the palace servant handed over an exquisite box, "This is a meeting gift, one for each of you brothers."

They are two pieces of crystal clear jade, emitting alluring light in the sun.

The two children looked at their father, and only took it when they saw his father nod.

Xiaobao liked this jade pendant very much and looked at it over and over again. "Hey, there are words on it. It's the word Jie."

He leaned over to look at his brother's jade pendant and said, "Brother, yours has the word '和' on it. Wow, this is such a coincidence."

Is it a coincidence? It was clearly arranged in advance. The empress was extremely meticulous and considered ten steps ahead.

Ning Ba looked at the jade pendant, his whole body trembled, and tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Dabao recognized at a glance that the two jade pendants were very similar to his father's. The patterns were exactly the same, except for the words in the middle.

This is a token of the Ning family’s descendants, and every Ning family descendant has it when they are born.

For them, the brothers, receiving the family keepsake from Ning Zhiwei at this age had a very different meaning.

He held the jade pendant tightly, feeling a strange and warm emotion rising in his heart. His surname was Ning, and he was a member of the Ning family, a family that passed down loyalty and righteousness.

He never understood what family was, but now he seemed to understand a little.

A Yu looked at the jade pendant and her expression changed several times. Ning Zhiwei was already prepared. Everything was under her control!

Ning Zhiwei raised his voice and said, "Everyone, I have prepared a banquet to entertain you who have come from afar."

"please."
