The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The ladies and young ladies from various families kept looking at Princess Yongkang. The little girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and she walked into the banquet in a dignified and graceful manner.

Shen Jiarou first greeted several concubines and royal relatives, and then sat down with ease.

Everyone was very satisfied with her knowledge and good manners.

While everyone was discussing in low voices, the eunuch's loud voice of singing was heard.

"The Queen Mother has arrived! The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and knelt respectfully.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty, and the Empress."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty, and the Empress!"

……

The emperor, who was sitting on the highest seat, raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

Everyone thanked the emperor respectfully. "We thank the emperor."

After Emperor Yuan Shun and the Empress Dowager sat down, Li Jiang personally poured wine for the emperor.

Considering the Queen Mother's health, Aunt Zhen discussed it with the Queen in advance, and with the Queen Mother's consent, she changed to fruit drink.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty glanced at the whole audience, with a faint smile and majesty on his face.

"Everyone, today is the banquet to celebrate the official enthronement of Princess Yongkang. Come, let's raise our glasses and drink together."

The Queen Mother raised the sour plum juice in her glass, and Shen Jiarou raised her hand to hold the fruit wine. Most people drank it all in one gulp, while the concubines, princesses, ladies and young ladies all took a sip.

As Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty looked over, officials from the Ministry of Rites began to report.

"Play music, the first dance is the stunning dance."

Shen Jiarou had seen the Jinghong Dance in a modern TV drama. The dancing moves were good, but the costume was dragging her back.

Now, when I heard the Jinghong Dance, I became a little interested.

There is only one dancer in "Stunning Dance", wearing a dress with water sleeves, the same pink color, but it is a gradual change, giving a very layered feeling.

The moment the music started, the dancer waved her slender hands, and her face came alive with her dance moves, which amazed Shen Jiarou.

Ruan Qingling whispered, "Princess, this stunning dance is so beautiful."

Shen Jiarou whispered back, "It's really good."

Concubine Zhang and Concubine Xian were almost biting their teeth while watching the beautiful dancers on the stage.

Concubine De and the third princess were sitting together. The mother and daughter appreciated the dance and whispered to each other from time to time. It looked very warm.

Shen Jiarou inadvertently turned her head and looked up, and saw Concubine Zhang's angry eyes, and was slightly stunned.

When she withdrew her gaze, her eyes met with Princess Mu Xue's, and the two girls smiled at each other.

Princess Rong noticed that her daughter was smiling. She looked up and met Shen Jiarou's gentle smile. She nodded politely as a greeting.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and the Empress Dowager, who were sitting in high seats, could see clearly what was happening below.

Two quarters of an hour into the palace banquet, some brainless young lady stood up and looked at Shen Jiarou. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I heard that Princess Yongkang wanted to invite you, teacher. I wonder how is your calligraphy?"

Shen Jiarou looked over without blinking, with a proper smile on her face. She knew that she was being targeted.

"I wonder who the girl is?"

With just one sentence, the other person's smile froze.

Those present were either the emperor's concubines or the wives and daughters of noble families. Upon hearing Princess Yongkang's words, some of them could not help laughing out loud.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Zhang Xian's face changed as she breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression was out of control for a moment, but fortunately she recovered in time.

"Princess Yongkang, my name is Zhang Xianshu, and I am the niece of the Imperial Concubine."

Shen Jiarou understood and smiled faintly at her.

She spoke in a gentle and decent tone, but said something that could make people angry. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Zhang. I am not good at music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and I am afraid that my calligraphy will be heard by everyone. Let's not do it. Maybe Miss Zhang wants to perform with me? If so, I don't mind risking my life to accompany you."

Ruan Qingling and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this. The princess' words were so beautiful.

The queen had originally looked unhappy, but when she heard the princess' words, she began to laugh.

"I heard that the Zhang family pays great attention to the cultivation of their children. I guess Miss Zhang's calligraphy is also very good. After all, you are older than Princess Yongkang... Hey, how old are you?"

The virtuous concubine who had something to say was always eager to get things done said, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhang seems to be fourteen years old, and the princess will be eight soon, so she is six years older."

Shen Jiarou had understood what her mother and Consort Xian meant. She raised her eyes and said gently, "Miss Zhang, please go first. This princess is just learning."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and the Empress Dowager also looked at her. Zhang Xianshu, who was in a dilemma, finally agreed.

"I'm sorry to show my ugliness."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and appropriately, "Please!"

At a glance from Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites arranged for the eunuchs to bring writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully spread out the rice paper. One of the eunuchs was responsible for grinding the ink carefully.

Zhang Xianshu walked forward gracefully, picked up the pen with her slender hands and began to write.

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong looked at each other, looking at their princess worriedly.

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly throughout the whole process, showing her princess demeanor.

When Zhang Xianshu finished writing with great effort, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty said with a smile, "Okay, pick it up and show it to us."

A picture of spring in the garden is presented to the public.

Concubine Zhang looked at her niece's calligraphy, smiled with satisfaction, and turned her eyes to look directly in the direction of Shen Jiarou.

"Princess Yongkang, it's your turn."

Shen Jiarou stood up and walked forward, came to the center and bowed first, then took the pen and wrote it in a few fluent strokes.

After standing up, Shen Jiarou saluted towards the high position again.

"Father, Grandmother, Mother, I have finished writing this. Please review it."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded to the eunuchs, and the two eunuchs stepped forward respectfully and showed Shen Jiarou's calligraphy.

When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty saw the four big characters "Thousands of Years", his face was filled with smiles.

"Yiyi, what does this mean?"

Shen Jiarou explained softly, "Father, I wish that our dynasty will last for thousands of years under the leadership of you and your civil and military officials."

The civil and military officials seemed to understand, and Prince Rong directly bowed to the high-ranking Emperor Shun of Yuan.

"Father, please let me and others see your sister's calligraphy."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded slightly, and the eunuchs displayed themselves in all directions.

Master Fu took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, a good father will have a good daughter. The emperor's calligraphy is good, and the princess's calligraphy is also very good."

When everyone heard what the Grand Tutor said, they all tried to find nice things to say.

"Master Fu is absolutely right."

"Princess Yongkang's handwriting is majestic and magnificent, just right for the future generations."

Zhang Xian's expression changed as she sighed: How could this be? Wasn't she only eight years old? How could her calligraphy be so good?

Hearing everyone's praise, Dong Xinqin's face looked very bad. She was Zhang Xianshu's mother, Mrs. Zhang.

Frustrated, she muttered quietly, "What's the big deal? It's just a few words."

Zhang Shounian, who was beside him, was so frightened when he heard his wife's words. This was a banquet prepared by the Emperor for Princess Yongkang. What else did this lady want to do?

Shen Jiarou has been learning martial arts for the past two years and her hearing has improved greatly.

"Madam Zhang, are you dissatisfied with my calligraphy? I would like to ask for your advice. Please give me some pointers."

As soon as she said this, everyone looked in the direction of Madam Zhang's family, even Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and others looked over there.
