The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The Emperor and Empress were very pleased to see that the brother and sister were in harmony, and the Empress Dowager was also very pleased with the maid's words.

"Thank you for your hard work, girl. But remember to combine work and rest. The Empress Dowager is not in a hurry. Don't tire yourself out."

Shen Jiarou bowed obediently, "Granddaughter obeys."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and reached out to hold her hand.

"The Queen has to manage the six palaces and remind the princess. But this girl is very sensible, you don't have to worry about it. You are also blessed, now you have a son and a daughter, both of whom are filial."

The queen was somewhat flattered. "Mother, you are joking. It is only natural for the younger generation to be filial to the elders."

The Queen Mother was very pleased with the Queen's generosity and decency. She patted her lovingly, which made the concubines in the harem jealous.

The queen had gained both face and money that night.

The eldest princess, Concubine Zhang and the second princess were the people with the worst looks at the entire banquet.

Shen Jiarou looked at the three of them calmly, feeling extremely happy.

Suddenly she sighed, and Princess Rong was puzzled by this.

"Princess Yongkang, why are you sighing?"

Everyone's eyes were on her again, and Shen Jiarou explained softly.

"I originally wanted to take this opportunity to give all the aunts, sisters-in-law and elder sisters a round pearl fan as a gift..."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, but Shen Jiarou's next words made them so angry that their livers hurt.

"In the end, we decided to send more jars of wine, so as to avoid the wrong gifts affecting the harmony of the family. This wine is more useful, and the family can have a glass when dining. A small drink between husband and wife can also be considered as a pleasure. A few drinks between brothers and sisters can warm up their relationship and bring harmony. Thinking of this, Jiarou was instantly relieved. She was really afraid of causing trouble to all the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters."

The aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters thought: What a trouble! No matter how delicious the wine is, we can only drink it a few times.

At this moment, they were somewhat resentful towards the eldest princess, Concubine Zhang and the second princess.

Without their interference, Princess Yongkang's pearl round fan would have been given as a gift. It would look nice and improve one's aesthetic taste when she attended banquets on weekdays. Moreover, this pearl round fan is now also a symbol of status.

Now, I am only worthy of drinking a few sips of wine. It makes me so angry.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.

Shen Jiarou looked at him strangely, and said innocently, "Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, do you not like my gift? But I can't think of anything else, so why not just forget it?"

Prince Rong knew his sister's ability and knew that the wine she mentioned must be good wine and he must have it for nothing. Seeing that she wanted to take it back, he became anxious.

"Fourth sister, you are joking. If your eldest brother likes it, it's a good opportunity for you and your sister-in-law to have a few drinks together when you are free. I appreciate your kindness and will strengthen our husband and wife relationship."

Princess Rong nodded in agreement with a forced smile.

Shen Jiarou asked naively, "Really?"

Prince Rong quickly added, "Of course, it's more real than pearls."

Shen Jiarou was relieved now. "Okay then."

Prince Su and Prince An hurried to thank her, fearing that she would take back her childish words.

Seeing that the heads of the families were all very happy, Shen Jiarou was completely relieved, but she was about to laugh to death in her heart: Humph, you want to make trouble for her, right? Now the three of you will offend all the princesses and wives of the royal family, which will be enough to make you suffer. It would be great for her to just sit on the mountain and watch the fight.

Aunt Zhenhua looked deeply at her princess, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Her princess is not a little white rabbit, but if you don't offend her too much, you'd better suffer.

Concubine Zhang was filled with regret at this moment: the pearl round fan, the pearl round fan that Princess Yongkang gave to everyone must have been worth at least a hundred taels of silver. She really ended up losing more than she gained.

The second princess regretted the most: she was so angry, that was a pearl fan.

Although she is a princess, she has not yet been rewarded with pearls, which are worth a lot of money.

Concubine De had been watching silently, and when she saw the regretful expressions on Concubine Zhang and the Second Princess' faces, she almost wanted to laugh out loud to celebrate.

Shen Jiarou suddenly looked at the second princess and said, "Second sister, today is Jiarou's eighth birthday. I wonder if you are willing to perform a show to liven up the atmosphere. I'm sure my father and grandmother would also like to see what you have learned. It's a good opportunity for me, your third sister and fourth sister, to see more of you."

The second princess's face turned pale: It's over, is she being retaliated by her fourth sister?

"Fourth sister, you are joking. I, the second royal sister, don't have any talent."

She didn't notice at all that Shen Jiarou addressed her. The eldest princess and the third princess Shen Jiarou called them Big Sister and Third Sister, and when it was her turn, she was called Second Sister.

He is very noble, but lacks much affection.

The eldest princess felt that the way her fourth sister addressed her second sister was a little strange, but she also felt it was reasonable and could not find any fault with it.

Concubine An was anxious. "Princess Yongkang, you are joking. Your second sister doesn't have any talent."

This kind of talent show is something that only lowly people and people from small families would do. Her daughter is a noble princess, how could she do such a thing?

Shen Jiarou was surprised and said, "Ah, I thought the Six Arts of a Gentleman was for everyone, but it turns out it's only for the royal brothers."

Then she looked at Emperor Yuan Shun with grievance, "Father, why do you let Yi Yi learn martial arts from Master Wu? I am not going to fight in the war, so why should I learn this?"

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was stunned by the question. He knew that the little girl was angry and said this to him on purpose.

The prince was afraid that his fourth sister would offend his father, so he quickly explained, "Fourth sister, learning martial arts can not only help you fight, but also strengthen your body and protect yourself. It is good for both your body and mind."

Shen Jiarou nodded seriously, "That does make sense. OK, let's not worry about it."

Emperor Yuan Shun took a look and finally sighed, "Come, Yi Yi, your father wishes you a happy eighth birthday."

Shen Jiarou raised her glass respectfully and said with a smile, "Thank you, Father. I'll drink it. Please feel free to do as you please."

Everyone was amazed to see her finish the drink in one gulp, as she acted like a great general.

Prince Su looked at her and laughed: This little girl is interesting.

Emperor Yuan Shun spoke again, "Whatever wish you have, tell me and I will fulfill it."

Shen Jiarou thought about it carefully and finally shook her head, leaving everyone looking at her in confusion.

"Father, I don't have any special wishes. If I must say, I wish the world to be peaceful, the people to live and work in peace, and that Father, Mother, Empress Dowager, and all the uncles, aunts, and women are healthy, happy, and have many children and grandchildren."

Her words were sincere.

The Queen Mother was pleased and said, "Good boy, I'll borrow your good words."

Princess Su smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Yongkang, for remembering us old guys. Come to Prince Su's mansion some other day, and the Sixth Grandmother will treat you to delicious food and fun."

Shen Jiarou had a very good impression of her. Princess Su was a straightforward, generous and approachable person.

Shen Jiarou smiled brightly at her and bowed, "Sixth Grandmother, I will definitely bother you next time. Please don't find me annoying then."

Princess Su liked this girl, so she said enthusiastically, "Don't mind, don't mind. You are welcome to come to Prince Su's mansion anytime."

The atmosphere of the family dinner was excellent, and Shen Jiarou's eighth birthday was a complete success.

It would be more perfect if there weren't a few annoying guys.
