Chapter 522: Cannot Eat Sweets

Jiang Ning returned to the kitchen, took a mooncake, and carefully tasted it.

Before he had even finished one mooncake, a eunuch from the Heavenly Mandate Hall came rushing over.

As expected, he was stopped by Mu Jian at the entrance.

The eunuch stomped his feet anxiously, "His Majesty has ordered the Princess Consort to come for an audience! General Mu, do you dare to resist the decree?"

Mu Jian paused for a moment before stepping aside.

As Jiang Ning passed by him, he handed him a mooncake and said with a smile, "General Mu, thank you for your hard work. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion. Have a taste of this mooncake, it may provide some comfort for the longing of your loved ones."

With his back straight, Mu Jian stood still and said coldly, "I have no living parents or family members. The Crown Prince is the closest person to me. It's my duty to serve here."

Jiang Ning stopped and asked, "In that case, General Mu, are you not married?"

"No."
