The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The Queen Mother was the first to be displeased, "Madam Zhang, is Princess Yongkang's handwriting not good?"

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, turned around, and saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother.

"Grandmother, there are always people better than you. My granddaughter's handwriting may not be to your liking. After all, Sister Zhang is already fourteen years old, and the teacher around her must be a great scholar of the time. How can my granddaughter, who is only eight years old, compare to her?"

Concubine Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "Princess Yongkang, please stop being so aggressive."

The Queen Mother and the Empress frowned at the same time.

Shen Jiarou curled her lips when she heard this and looked at Emperor Yuan Shun with grievance.

"Father, but just now I clearly heard Madam say that it was nothing great, it was just a few words. Is it wrong to tell the truth? The ancients said that honesty does not deceive people."

The girl's eyes were filled with tears, her round face no longer had the bright smile on it, her little mouth was slightly pouted, and she looked so pitiful.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty frowned and looked directly at Madam Zhang and asked, "Madam Zhang, do you think that my enlightenment teacher is not good enough?"

Dong Xinqin was horrified and knelt down, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."

Seeing the emperor's rage, Zhang Shoufu, Zhang Shounian, Zhang Moyan and Zhang Zirou, a family of four, knelt down in fear.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty snorted coldly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the calligraphy of Princess Yongkang and your daughter are equally good, each with their own characteristics..."

Emperor Yuan Shun was about to say something else, but Prime Minister Zhang spoke up urgently, "Your Majesty, it is my daughter-in-law who cannot speak. Please be lenient with me for my loyalty and dedication."

Several people were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty put his hands on the table, obviously very angry.

"For the sake of Prime Minister Zhang, I will be lenient with your family. All three generations of the Zhang family, including the illegitimate children and concubines, will give me ten pieces of calligraphy of Spring in the Garden."

He did not mention any other requests, which was already giving face to Prime Minister Zhang.

Shen Jiarou looked at the few people, standing there silently without saying a word.

Concubine Zhang wanted to plead for mercy, but she hadn't said a word yet.

The Queen Mother was somewhat dissatisfied with the punishment of Emperor Yuan Shun, and said directly, "Emperor, you are too partial to Prime Minister Zhang. How can you be fair and just?"

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty looked at the little girl with a headache. Shen Jiarou wanted to pretend not to see it, but this was a dynasty where imperial power was supreme, and she could not be willful.

Shen Jiarou was actually reluctant in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face and turned around slightly.

"Grandmother, today is a banquet for your granddaughter, you can't be angry."

Emperor Yuan Shun also looked at his mother in a soothing manner, "Yes, mother, this is the first banquet held for Yi Yi."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's anger subsided a little.

"Well, since the girl doesn't care, I won't care either. But Emperor, you have to comfort the girl. We can't let the father and daughter be separated."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded repeatedly.

Zhang family and others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Get up, don't disrupt the progress of the banquet."

Zhang Shoufu and others thanked the Lord respectfully, "I thank the Lord for His grace."

After a few people stood up, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

Shen Jiarou bowed respectfully before returning to her seat and sitting upright.

As everyone watched the farce before their eyes, their admiration for Princess Yongkang was renewed.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty looked at Grand Tutor Fu and said, "Grand Tutor, just now you said that Princess Yongkang's calligraphy is quite good. I wonder if you are willing to accept the princess as your apprentice."

Master Fu was stunned. He never expected the emperor to ask such a question.

He quickly stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, if the princess is willing, it would be an honor for me."

Shen Jiarou stood up and respectfully bowed to him as a junior.

"Master Fu, I wonder if this will disturb your normal teaching? If it is inconvenient, I can also..."

Before Shen Jiarou could finish her words, Master Fu interrupted her.

"Princess Yongkang, I am an educator. The emperor asked me to teach the princess because he trusts me. It is my honor to teach the princess, so I will not be disturbed."

After listening to this, Shen Jiarou looked towards her father who was sitting on the high seat, waiting for him to speak.

"Princess Yongkang, the Grand Tutor is right. Starting tomorrow, you will be taught by Grand Tutor Fu himself."

The court officials were shocked and asked the tutor to educate the princess. This favor was too...

The Queen said at the right time, "Princess, why don't you thank your father quickly."

Shen Jiarou bowed respectfully and said, "I, your son, thank you, Father."

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty was very satisfied with her knowledge and manners. "No need to be polite. Princess, study hard in the future."

Then Emperor Yuan Shun looked at Grand Tutor Fu with a smile and said, "Grand Tutor, I will solemnly entrust the responsibility of educating the princess to you. Thank you for your hard work."

Master Fu immediately bowed his hands and said, "I obey your orders and will live up to your expectations."

Shen Jiarou also looked at Master Fu who had stood up, and respectfully saluted him as a student.

"The student has met the teacher."

Master Fu smiled faintly, "Princess, please take a seat. Today is your celebration banquet. You should enjoy the singing and dancing."

Shen Jiarou's shallow dimples were faintly visible in her faint smile.

Once again, he gave the student salute, "Yes."

Then she stroked her dress and sat down.

The queen was very satisfied with the princess's every word and action.

The following song and dance performance was uneventful and the whole banquet was filled with a rich atmosphere.

Only the Zhang family offended the emperor, the empress dowager, and Princess Yongkang today, and they were very angry. They were afraid that they had even offended the empress and the crown prince.

From this we can see that Princess Yongkang is not someone who will suffer any loss, and she must be treated with care in the future.

Zhang Xianshu resented her mother in her heart: the matter was almost over, but she kept talking too much. Today, she lost all her face and dignity. The most infuriating thing was that the whole palace banquet was full of wives and daughters of noble families, which made her very angry.

Zhang Zirou has been observing the Zhang family, while Zheng Shutong seems to be observing other people unintentionally.

Ruan Qingling was so angry that she thought: they are all a bunch of sick people.

Zhen Luosang was extremely happy: the princess was really beautiful and heroic, and she took revenge on the spot, which was the behavior of a gentleman.

After the banquet, Shen Jiarou walked towards her father, grandmother, and mother, bowed and apologized, "Father, grandmother, and mother, it was all Yi Yi's fault today. I shouldn't have performed calligraphy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so angry. It's all Yi Yi's fault for being unfilial."

The Queen Mother was angry when she heard this. "This is not the girl's fault. You are a princess and you must not bear this kind of humiliation. Come on, stay with the Royal Grandmother at Fushou Palace tonight. We can have a private chat between the two of us."

Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded, then bowed to her father and mother, "Father and mother, I will accompany the Empress back to the palace first, and I will take my leave now."

The two nodded lovingly, and when the Empress Dowager and Shen Jiarou walked further and further away, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty looked at Concubine De and her daughter.

"De Fei, I will go to your palace tonight, let's go."

The surprise came so quickly that Concubine De was visibly stunned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The third princess followed the two men excitedly, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing her father and mother.

The virtuous concubine was so angry that she bowed and left in a hurry.

Concubine Zhang glanced angrily in the direction where the Empress Dowager and Princess Yongkang left, then turned around to meet the Empress's cold warning eyes, and her face shuddered.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell. I will return to the palace first."

After the Queen nodded, Concubine Zhang left in a hurry.

Nanny Luo looked at the imperial concubine's departing back and felt a little worried.

"My lady, the princess?"

The Queen raised her hand, signaling to return to the palace.
