The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

When the atmosphere was tense, a graceful and elegant lady spoke up.

"Today is Princess Yongkang's eighth birthday. I wonder if there are any singing and dancing performances to entertain the whole family."

Shen Jiarou looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was the eldest princess, the emperor's sister, but not from the same mother; she was the daughter of the late noble concubine.

"Aunt Royal, Jiarou is not very talented and well-educated. I am afraid that this will offend the eyes and ears of all the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and sisters. So let's not do it."

Since she was so tactful, the other party shouldn't make trouble again.

But things didn't go as expected.

"Jiarou, you've got the wrong idea. It doesn't matter if the performance isn't good. You're only eight years old. Just treat it as a family watching the fun."

The eldest princess and the third princess looked at her worriedly. If their sister refused again, it would seem that she was being ignorant in front of her elders, which was really worrying.

The second princess was extremely happy when she saw that the royal aunt was attacking her fourth sister.

"Fourth sister, why don't you dance to liven up the atmosphere."

Shen Jiarou was speechless and thought: I wish you a big head.

The Queen looked somewhat displeased, but it was a family dinner and she couldn't get angry.

The prince looked slightly embarrassed: This imperial aunt has always been inconsiderate to others, she is so annoying.

The Queen Mother was about to speak when the eldest princess spoke up, "I think Mother wants to see Jiarou dance, too."

The Queen Mother went on a expedition.

Shen Jiarou clenched her fists tightly: Humph, dancing? This is leaving me with no choice.

Aunt Zhenhua and Ruan Qingling both had worry in their eyes.

The looks from the crowd were filled with curiosity, worry, indifference, and gloating, and Shen Jiarou saw them all.

She smiled faintly and stood up. "Aunt Royal is right. It's a family dinner. There's nothing wrong with dancing to your heart's content. Jiarou will show off her ugliness."

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at each other, both of them were a little anxious. Aunt Zhenhua winked at them, and they slowly calmed down.

Shen Jiarou reached out to Ruan Qingling and said, "Give me the fan."

Ruan Qingling hurriedly placed it respectfully in the princess's hands, and Shen Jiarou picked it up and walked out of her seat.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking carefully, he realized that this was just the beginning and he couldn't keep an eye on her all the time. The girl had to learn to grow up.

"Play some music."

As the music started, Shen Jiarou slowly began to cover her movements with the round fan and started dancing, trying her best to make her movements appear soft and natural.

Everyone slowly started to look at her dance. The prince suddenly smiled, but was afraid that his smile was too wanton, so he quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

When the Crown Prince's Consort Gao Feili saw the round fan in her hand, she exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, this round pearl fan is very popular recently. One starts at at least fifty taels of silver, and can go up to more than one thousand taels."

Crown Prince's wife Lin Qinghuan also noticed it, and she was very fond of the round fan in Princess Yongkang's hand.

Princess Rong smiled gently and said, "Yes, I heard that the Queen was the first person to use it, and it was embroidered by Princess Yongkang herself, with dodder flowers and phoenixes on it."

Everyone looked at the queen and found that Nanny Luo beside the queen was indeed holding a pearl fan.

Some concubines, royal ladies and princesses were extremely envious.

Shen Jiarou kept smiling throughout the whole round fan dance. When the dance was over, she held the pearl round fan in her hand, placed it on her right waist and bowed.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and the Crown Prince were the first to applaud.

"Okay, not bad. I didn't expect that the girl has a talent for dancing."

The prince echoed, "Father, I also think that sister Yi Yi dances well."

As a teacher, Mr. Fu also attended his students' banquet with his family.

He had been observing Princess Yongkang's expression before, and was very satisfied to see that she was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke and performed in a graceful and elegant manner.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty smiled cheerfully, "Yi Yi, how about your father arrange a dance teacher for you?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned: She wants to learn dancing? Is there enough time?

"Father, don't worry. I will look for it slowly."

This was a tactful refusal, and everyone present could hear it.

In order to ease the atmosphere, the eldest princess shifted the topic to the pearl fan in the fourth sister's hand.

"Fourth sister, your fan is really unique. Are those pearls on it?"

Shen Jiarou smiled brightly, "Big sister, you have good taste. This is exactly what my third sister made for me some time ago. I love it."

The eldest princess was stunned. "Third sister can do it too?"

The third princess said shyly, "Big sister, this pearl fan was actually created by my younger sister, I am just offering it to you."

The eldest princess nodded slightly and said, "She is still very powerful. I haven't seen you for a few years. My third sister has become even more powerful."

The second princess felt very dissatisfied when she saw her elder sister always praising her third sister.

When Shen Jiarou saw her expression, she felt relieved.

She thought about it and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Big sister, if you like, I, the fourth sister, will give you one tomorrow. You can bring your brother-in-law and nephew with you."

The eldest princess heard the friendly signal from her fourth sister and happily agreed.

"Then the eldest sister will disturb the fourth sister tomorrow."

The Queen was delighted with this scene and said, "Okay, after you come to pay your respects tomorrow, go together, chat with your sisters, and let the eldest princess teach your fourth sister."

The eldest princess was flattered to see that her mother had no objection and was very supportive.

"My son, I obey."

Concubine Zhang said unhappily, "Oh, Princess Yongkang, you gave this to the Empress and the eldest princess, but you didn't give it to the Empress Dowager. It's a bit biased."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Shen Jiarou again to see how she would break this game.

The Queen Mother originally didn't think much of it, but she frowned after hearing what Concubine Zhang said.

"My noble concubine, please stop talking nonsense. The maid often gives me things. This is something that everyone in the harem knows."

Concubine Zhang didn't expect that the Empress Dowager doted on her so much, and she actually scolded her in court.

Suddenly, she felt wronged. "My Queen, I was quick-witted. Please forgive me."

Emperor Yuan Shun spoke again, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words in the future."

Shen Jiarou had a faint smile on her lips and she really wanted to laugh out loud.

She tried hard to hold it back: Shen Jiarou, this is the critical moment, you must hold it back.

"Thank you for your reminder, Imperial Concubine. However, the Queen Mother has also reminded me of this matter, saying that the Imperial Grandmother is the most respected person and should be put first. Jiarou thought about it carefully and felt that what the Queen Mother said made sense. It would be inconvenient to think of giving the Imperial Grandmother a surprise on her next birthday, so she did not make a pearl round fan for the Imperial Grandmother herself.

Alas, Jiarou is not a genius, she made gifts for both her father and mother, but forgot to give gifts to her grandmother and the crown prince. She feels guilty about this."

The prince was afraid that his sister would blame herself, so he quickly comforted her, "You don't have to be like this, my brother has everything in the palace, don't tire yourself out."

Shen Jiarou felt that her brother, the prince, was a pretty good guy who knew how to help her sister out of trouble and comfort her, and he deserved praise.

"Brother Crown Prince, next time you come to Fanghua Palace, I will make you a soup pot barbecue. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

The prince did not expect to receive such a pleasant surprise, and he happily bowed and said, "In that case, thank you very much, sister. I will not be polite."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled.
