The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Liu Xu sent someone to push open the gate of Fanghua Palace, and the luxurious and heavy palace door slowly opened.

Before she even got close, Shen Jiarou was already amazed by the luxurious and grand furnishings inside.

After all, Ruan Qingling and Zheng Shutong had stayed in the palace for several years and could still stand steadily for now.

It was the first time for Element Frost and Yaer to enter the palace. They were overwhelmed by so many things that they looked at each other in shock. Fortunately, they had seen some big scenes with their master before, so they did not lose their composure.

Liu Xu turned sideways and said, "Princess, this is your palace. Please come in."

Shen Jiarou smiled at him, lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold.

With every step she took, she felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

Hearing the voice coming from inside, Shen Jiarou raised her eyes and looked at Liu Xu.

"It's the maids and eunuchs who will serve you in the future. It should be the maids who gave the order."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou nodded slightly.

Liuxu shook off his whisk, stood up straight, and announced loudly, "Princess Yongkang has arrived!"

When the maids in the hall heard this, they looked at each other.

"The princess has arrived. Please follow us to greet her."

"Yes."

The palace maids and eunuchs left the hall in an orderly manner and stood respectfully outside the hall.

The leading maid had a noble temperament and knelt down respectfully to pay homage, "Your servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. Welcome to the Princess. Greetings, Princess!"

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in unison and said, "Your servants/servants pay their respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. We welcome the Princess and greet Her Royal Highness!"

Aunt Zhen, who was standing quietly at the side, nodded slightly in her heart without showing it on her face.

After all, Shen Jiarou has been promoted step by step and has her own confidence and composure.

"No gift."

"Thank you princess!"

After the leading maid stood up, the palace maids and eunuchs all stood up.

The leading nanny bowed slightly towards Shen Jiarou.

"Princess, I am a fifth-rank maid, and I am also your head maid at Fanghua Palace. You can call me Aunt Zhenhua."

Shen Jiarou knew that there was a position of female officials in the palace, and that they were treated differently from palace maids and eunuchs.

Shen Jiarou had great respect for the nanny in front of her and felt that her appearance was also to her liking.

So, she smiled at the other party and said, "Hello, Aunt Zhenhua. I will trouble you in Fanghua Palace in the future."

Aunt Zhenhua felt the other party's respect, so she became more respectful and bowed slightly.

"Princess, please come in!"

Shen Jiarou nodded and glanced at Liu Xu and Aunt Zhen beside her.

"Aunt Zhen, Eunuch Liu, let's go in."

Aunt Zhen nodded slightly, "Yes."

She liked the girl in front of her more and more. She behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly, spoke and acted in a graceful manner, and followed the rules and etiquette in a dignified and appropriate manner, which she handled very well.

A group of people followed behind respectfully. With the joining of Aunt Zhenhua, Liu Xu stepped behind her and walked side by side with Ruan Qingling.

To the right of Zheng Shutong is Elemental Frost, and Yaer is behind them.

Seeing the huge palace, Shen Jiarou looked at several important rooms such as the main hall and the bedroom, and then sat down directly on the phoenix chair in the main hall.

"That's it for today. I'll slowly get familiar with it in the future."

Aunt Zhen rarely spoke, "Princess, you are absolutely right. There is no rush at this moment."

Thinking that it was still early, Aunt Zhenhua spoke respectfully.

"Princess, it's a good opportunity for you to take a rest for a while. You can have lunch with the Queen at lunch time."

Shen Jiarou was slightly stunned. "Is this what the Queen Mother meant?"

Aunt Zhenhua smiled slightly and said, "It is the joint intention of the Emperor and the Empress."

Shen Jiarou understood that this was to make her familiar with it.

"it is good."

Seeing the elderly maids standing straight, Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled, "Aunt Zhen, Aunt Zhenhua, Eunuch Liu, please sit down and talk. Standing is tiring."

The three still did not move, so Aunt Zhen apologized, "Princess, you are the master, and we are the servants. The master is sitting, and the servants must not stand."

Shen Jiarou was not completely ignorant of the palace rules. Nanny Wang, Nanny Su, and Nanny He all came from the palace and had explained almost everything to her.

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and brightly, "Aunt Zhen's words make sense, but since this is my order and there are no outsiders present, I can be a little more accommodating, right?"

Aunt Zhen clearly felt the change in the girl's aura and felt quite relieved.

"You are right. Thank you, Princess, for letting me sit down."

Aunt Zhenhua and Liu Xu also thanked her respectfully, then stroked their skirts and sat down.

"Aunt Zhenhua, did the emperor say anything else?"

Aunt Zhenhua replied respectfully, "The Emperor said that the small kitchen was specially prepared for you. If you need anything, just send someone to get it."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, like the bright sunshine in spring.

"Father is so thoughtful." But she also wondered if her father had other reasons.

Taking advantage of the break, Shen Jiarou respectfully asked some key questions.

"Does this princess need to visit the concubines in my father's harem?"

Aunt Zhen knew Shen Jiarou better. "You are a legitimate daughter, so you don't need to visit like the empresses. If there are people you like, you can visit them once or twice. For other occasions, just show respect to the younger generation."

Shen Jiarou was taught.

Then she remembered something and looked at Liu Xu, "Eunuch Liu, how much silver does a door plaque for a mansion cost?"

Liu Xu was confused. "About a hundred taels. What do you mean, Princess?"

"Since my father has granted me a new residence, should I replace the original plaque on the door of the Princess's Residence?"

Willow catkins nodded.

"I think it doesn't matter whether the plaque on the door of the Princess's Mansion is changed or not. It would be better to save the one hundred taels and use them for more valuable things. I'll have to trouble Eunuch Liu to help me convey this to my father."

At this time, Liu Xu was even more shocked by the girl's understanding.

Her Royal Highness the Princess actually felt that one hundred taels was a waste and saved the money for more valuable uses. She really admired her for this.

Also shocked were Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhenhua.

In a blink of an eye, lunch time was approaching, and Shen Jiarou took Aunt Zhenhua and others to Fengyi Palace.

"Princess Yongkang has arrived!"

The queen put down the book and sat up straight.

A pair of gentle and beautiful eyes looked at the girl who was walking towards them.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother. Best wishes to the Queen Mother!"

Seeing her perform the ceremony properly, the queen smiled gently.

"Princess, no need to be polite!"

Shen Jiarou thanked her respectfully, "Thank you, mother."

The queen waved at her, "Come here quickly, let mother take a look."

Shen Jiarou walked over confidently until she stood in front of the queen.

"You look thinner. You must have suffered a lot during the disaster relief mission."

The queen pulled her to sit on the phoenix chair, her eyes so gentle that tears could be dripped from her eyes.

"It's okay, but I did get a little tanned. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager said that I was a black girl."

Her self-deprecation caused the queen to sneer at her.

"Girl, the Queen Mother is worried about you, don't misunderstand her intentions."

Shen Jiarou shook her head gently, "I understand."

"I'm glad you understand. Mother, why do you think your hair is so plain?"

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "Originally I had a jade hairpin, but because I was in a hurry to go to the palace, I didn't know I would stay overnight, so I asked the maids to take all the banknotes and silver back to the mansion. But I didn't know I would stay overnight, and Eunuch Li announced the decree today, and I didn't want to let people go in vain, so I took off the jade hairpin to thank Eunuch Li for making the trip in such a hot day."

The queen was very satisfied with her brief words.

"You did a great job. Eunuch Li is someone close to your father, so you should respect him. Don't be so arrogant."

Shen Jiarou understood what the queen meant. After all, Eunuch Li was a eunuch, different from ordinary people. Now he was the emperor's attendant, and his status was extremely high, so he should be respected.

"Thank you for your advice, mother. I will keep it in mind."

When the queen heard this, she became even more satisfied.

When the prince learned that he had a new sister, whom he knew, his eyes, as gentle as jade, were like the stars and the sea.

"After all, fate is deep."

Luo Cheng also sighed, "Who said it wasn't true?"
