âMother, donât worry. Itâs a good thing. Father ordered me to supervise the country with the help of the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister,â the Crown Prince said to the Empress with a smile.
Hearing the crown princeâs words, the empress was completely relieved.
So that was what was going on. In other words, her son would be emperor soon, and she was going to become the empress dowager.
This was a good thing.
However, neither of them knew that although the emperor had given this order, he had also dug a huge pit for the crown prince.
When the crown prince took over, he would realize that money was needed everywhere. The emperor was in a hurry to abdicate because he had a headache over these things.
The emperorâs imperial edict was already on the way, and Ning Yue was chatting with her family. Old Master Ning and Ning Yue mentioned the relocation of the ancestral grave.
âAlthough we escaped from the wilderness, weâve already decided on this place. Iâm thinking that our familyâs ancestral grave has to be moved over. Thereâs no one in our hometown anymore. Thereâll be no one to take care of the place where the ancestors are resting.â
If they arranged for someone to stay there, those newcomers might dig out their ancestors. That could not be allowed!
âIf you want to move the ancestral grave, so be it. When the time comes, weâll just let the masters take a look at the fengshui.â Ning Yue did not think too much about it.
Hearing Ning Yueâs words, Old Master Ning became even more worried. He sighed.
âItâs not that easy to move the graves. We have to find a treasured place, but we donât have the final say in the land here. Our ancestors take up many tombs. We need a lot of land.â
âLand is a problem. In addition, we have to find someone to go back to the graves. Then, we have to transport the tombs over. It will take a lot of manpower and time.â
The most important problem was the land. Old Master Ning could not think of a place that could accommodate so many tombs.
âOh, so thatâs what Grandpa is thinking about. Grandpa, let me tell you something. I received definite news that the emperor is going to confer me the title of princess and reward me with a few fiefs. When the time comes, we can move the ancestors to my fiefs.â
Hearing Ning Yueâs words, Old Master Ning suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.
Ning Yue was shocked by Old Master Ning. Why did he faint all of a sudden? Was this news a blow?
Without thinking, she quickly woke Old Master Ning up.
She quietly poured a bowl of water from the ancient well in her space. âGrandpa, drink some water first. Donât be so agitated. If youâre so agitated, I wonât dare to tell you anything in the future.â
Old Master Ning drank the ancient well water and finally calmed down. âYou said that the emperor wanted to confer you as a princess. Why?â
âPerhaps he values the Prince Jinâs Residence more. I donât know the details,â Ning Yue said.
She did not intend to let Old Master Ning know that she had gone to the battlefield. Although it was over, Old Master Ning did not look like he could withstand the stimulation.
âHeâll confer you the title of princess and give you a fief?â Old Master Ning asked again.
Ning Yue nodded again. âYes.â
âOh my god, our ancestral grave is smoking.â Old Master Ning smiled from ear to ear.
Seeing Old Master Ningâs smile, Ning Yue was a little speechless. She didnât know who fainted from the stimulation just now.
âBut Grandpa, as the decree hasnât been issued, we canât publicize this. When the emperorâs decree is issued, others will know.â
Old Master Ning nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Indeed, before the imperial decree was issued, there were still variables that could not be announced.
âThen I understand. After this matter is confirmed, weâll find someone to check the time and send a few people back to our hometown to move our ancestors back.â
Old Master Ning was no longer troubled. With Ning Yueâs fief, it would be much easier to move the graves.
âYueyue, youâre really our familyâs lucky star!â Old Master Ning said happily to Ning Yue.
With the matter of moving the grave resolved, Old Master Ning was relieved. He chatted with Ning Yue for a while. He was about to get up and go to the oil press to take a look when a few people suddenly came.
The moment those people arrived, they knelt in front of Old Master Ning and cried, âBrother Ning, please save us
