Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The old man found a way out for the family, which was to marry into the Ning family.

Even though the object of this marriage is Ning Qishao, who is seriously injured and cannot walk or ride a horse.

But he was the only living adult male.

The most important thing is that he is a member of the Ning family and has a hundred thousand Ning family soldiers behind him.

In this troubled time, we can keep one place peaceful.

Even if the Duan family can't make it in the capital, they can go to the northwest to rely on their in-laws.

As for in-laws, they form a bond between the two families and help each other.

The old man had calculated all of this.

The only thing they didn't expect was that Ning Zhiwei was so good at fighting. He was so powerful that he fought all the way to the capital and took over one third of the territory.

She is going to become emperor.

But this is a good thing for the Duan family.

Duan Xinyu's mouth curled up slightly. She was not happy about this marriage at first, but there was nothing she could do. She had been supported by the family for more than ten years, and it was her duty to sacrifice for the family.

Since she was born, what she heard most was that she should live for her family.

Without family protection, you are nothing.

"Don't talk nonsense outside if there is nothing confirmed yet."

In the eyes of these servants, this matter is already a sure thing. The nanny patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will just talk about it here."

She paused for a moment, "Speaking of which, the new dynasty has just been established and should need a lot of officials. Why don't you help the young masters find some good positions and help each other."

Duan Xinyu also hopes that the Duan family can produce a few officials to help the family climb up the ladder.

“It depends on the opportunity.”

The nanny smiled and flattered, "You are the mistress of the Ning family, the sister-in-law of the Princess of Jingning County. Just say a word."

Duan Xinyu looked at her deeply and said, "You don't know much about Princess Jingning. She doesn't even give face to the Ning family's ancestors. My sister-in-law..."

She shook her head, some things were clear to her.

Ning Zhiwei just took a wait-and-see attitude towards the Duan family and her, and was not very enthusiastic.

All she really cares about are the children and Ning Qishao.

Therefore, what Duan Xinyu needs to do is to win over her husband and these children.

The nanny's cloudy eyes rolled, "Then you should talk to the Seventh Young Master. They are brother and sister, and they won't offend him with such a small matter."

Duan Xinyu smiled without saying anything. Once she had established her foothold, she would naturally pull the Duan family together.

A woman’s parents’ home is her greatest support and confidence.

But, some things cannot be rushed, as you will not get what you want in a hurry.

At this moment, a servant rushed in, "The Princess of Jingning County is here."

Everyone was stunned, "So early?" Didn't you say you'd come in the evening? It's only the hour of the tiger.

Duan Xinyu stood up suddenly and gave a loud order, "Quickly, notify everyone to open the main gate and welcome the Princess of Jingning County."

Outside the gate, Ning Zhiwei was sitting in a carriage, surrounded by guards.

She did not dismount, but asked the guard to knock on the door.

After a while, Ning Qishao ran out in a hurry, sweating profusely.

He looked around, saw the low-key carriage, and ran over immediately.

"Xiao Wu, why didn't you let me know in advance? I could have waited for you at the gate early."

He looked at his sister who was in high spirits, feeling a little dazed.

Familiar yet unfamiliar, the facial features have not changed, but the aura is different.

The phoenix eyes are noble, slightly upturned, and majestic without being angry.

Ning Zhiwei leaned against the car window and looked at him with a smile.

"Seventh Brother, are you feeling better?"

Ning Qishao moved his hands and feet, smiling, "I am well now. I can walk and jump, and I can also ride a horse and kill the enemy."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply and said, "Our Ning family got rich through military merit, and our descendants have passed down the family through military merit for two hundred years."

"For two hundred years, countless of our brothers and sisters died on the battlefield, wrapped in their horsehide, without any regrets."

Ning Qishao pursed his lips and said, "I have always remembered the Ning family's ancestral motto, to be loyal to the emperor, to be patriotic, and to care for the people."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "If Seventh Brother wants to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Ning Qishao's eyes lit up. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and grew up in a military camp. His lifelong ambition was to inherit his family's legacy and guard the border.

Which general doesn't want to expand territory?

The ultimate dream of a military general is to seal the Wolf's Lair, drink water from the vast sea, and carve a stone at Yanran.

"You said so."

"Of course." After Ning Zhiwei became emperor, it was impossible for him to lead troops to fight in person.

There is Su Mingjin in the southeast, Prince Qin in the northeast, and the Jin Kingdom in the northwest, all of which need someone to conquer.

As long as they could make contributions, she would be happy to award more titles.

The brother and sister were talking non-stop, and Duan Xinyu ran out with the servants to greet them.

"Meet the Princess of Jingning County."

Ning Zhiwei then stepped down from the carriage, brushed her clothes, straightened her hair, and then spoke slowly.

"Everyone, get up."

Everyone stood up and looked at Ning Zhiwei secretly. This was the empress who was about to ascend the throne. What was the difference?

Ning Zhiwei glanced at them indifferently, and everyone felt a strong pressure and lowered their heads involuntarily.

Oh my god, this guy’s stern face is so scary.

Duan Xinyu didn't expect that Ning Zhiwei's momentum was even stronger than before.

Especially the serious face, which makes people a little scary.

"Sister... Princess Jingning, let's go in first."

Ning Zhiwei nodded, "Everyone go in."

Everyone surrounded her and walked into Ning Mansion. Just after she took a few steps, several children came running towards her.

The moment they saw Ning Zhiwei, their eyes lit up and they rushed over to hug her thighs.

"Aunt, Aunt." They surrounded her and called out, their eyes full of admiration.

Ning Zhiwei touched their heads one by one and found that they had all grown up.

She bent down and picked up the youngest girl. The girl clung to her and said softly, "Aunt, Aunt, I missed you so much."

Ning Zhiwei's heart melted, "What do you think?"

The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "I think about it every day. Every day, when I eat, and before I go to bed."

"It's not like doing homework and practicing martial arts. I study hard."

"Pfft." Ning Zhiwei was amused. She smiled and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

"Aunt." Ning Yuanxi put his hands behind his back.

Ning Zhiwei touched her face and said, "Our Yuan Xi has grown into a beautiful young lady."

Ning Yuanxi's eyebrows curved, "You are beautiful, aunt, I brought you a gift, which I made by myself."

She took out the gift hidden behind her back. It was a beautiful agate necklace. "Thank you, Yuanxi."

Ning Xinzhe and Ning Qingxi also presented their gifts, "Aunt, I brought some too."

The two children were very upset because their older brothers and sisters had taken the baby away without even notifying them.

Hate it! I don't want to be friends with them anymore.

Everyone sat together, having a great time, happily chatting about their recent situations.

Several children stuck to Ning Zhiwei, listening obediently, looking adorable little people.

Suddenly, a servant girl said with a smile on her face, "Princess Jingning, I heard that you have conferred titles of nobility on all the girls in your family. This is a great honor for your family and is very enviable."

"I don't know, what title will you give to the Seventh Young Master?"

The whole place was silent, and everyone looked at me in disbelief. Is this Madam Ning's wet nurse?
