The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 171 Father tricked her again, banquet

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty was very pleased to see the little girl's words improve his thinking, and the smile on his face did not diminish.

This girl was truly sent by God to repay his kindness.

"Yes, Lord Tang, what the princess said is also what I mean."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang was shocked, but finally compromised under the gazes of both sides.

He was flattered and knelt down to thank the Lord. "Thank you for your grace."

This incident also became a topic of conversation among the nobles in the capital, and they all privately envied Lord Tang for being favored by the Emperor.

It is well known how favored Princess Yongkang is.

After returning to the princess's mansion, Shen Jiarou saw a number of photo albums in her study. She flipped through them casually and realized that they were the account books from midsummer.

On the way into the palace, the carriage met an oncoming carriage.

There was a sudden pause, and the other party's carriage wheels seemed to have run over something, causing a bump.

"Yu!"

The carriage suddenly stopped and Shen Jiarou accidentally bumped into the wooden board.

"Ouch……"

Ruan Qingling and others were shocked.

"Princess, how are you?"

Zheng Shutong looked up and found that his princess' forehead was red.

"What are you doing?" She was in so much pain.

The people outside also heard the noise from the carriage, and the servant of the Minister of Revenue was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

"Master, we didn't mean to hurt Princess Yongkang."

The Minister of Revenue was dizzy and dazed by the collision. When he heard his attendant's words, his face changed with fright and he quickly lifted the curtain.

"What? How?"

Shen Jiarou also lifted the curtain and saw the Minister of Revenue who looked unwell.

She smiled politely, "Hello, Mr. Hubu."

The Minister of Revenue said with an embarrassed look, "Greetings, Princess. It is my fault for disturbing you."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "It's okay, this princess will just take a rest."

Seeing that the other party still looked unhappy, Shen Jiarou asked with concern.

"Look at your face. What's wrong?"

The Minister of Revenue was stunned, and his face turned grim when he thought about the Ministry of Works asking him for money.

"nothing."

But thinking about how the princess had taken away so much reward money in the previous month or two, he looked at the little princess with impatience.

Shen Jiarou is a thoughtful person and can sense his gaze.

The man looked at her with a bad look. Could it be that something was related to her?

But she recalled quickly and didn't think of anything related to her.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand the matter of the silver reward two months ago.

Seeing the impatient look on the Minister of Revenue's face, she began to think of teasing him.

"Mr. Minister of Revenue, does the Ministry of Revenue still have any money?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue's heart trembled: What do you mean, Princess?

Seeing the other person's pale and blue face, Shen Jiarou almost died of laughter.

"I forgot one thing. If the Ministry of Revenue has money, I will ask my father to reimburse me."

The Minister of Revenue's heart was alarmed, and he blurted out "What reimbursement?"

Shen Jiarou asked innocently, "It's about the expenses of the refugees last time."

The Minister of Revenue was shocked. He just remembered it now, but it was too late.

Before he could finish complaining in his mind, a childish voice spoke again.

"Hey, it seems to be about four or five hundred thousand taels."

Ruan Qingling shook her head, "Princess, it seems to be six or seven hundred thousand taels."

Originally they all thought it was at most 200,000 taels, but they still grumbled.

The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath when he heard this. He had to run away from this "troublesome place" as soon as possible.

"Princess, I have something important to attend to. I will take my leave now."

Then he urged the servant and the coachman to drive the carriage quickly. Yaer watched him flee with her eyes wide open.

"Princess, why does he look like he's waiting for us?"

Zhen Luosang stroked his chin and thought, "Maybe he was scared away by the silver."

Shen Jiarou found it funny: the old man’s running away looked quite amusing.

Fanghua Palace Main Hall

Aunt Zhenhua came over and whispered, "Princess, the Crown Prince sent someone to ask when you plan to host a banquet for them."

Shen Jiarou was stunned: Oh no, she completely forgot about this.

"Send someone to tell them that we will have lunch the day after tomorrow."

The prince received the reply and happily painted a picture of orchid.

Luo Cheng was amazed as he watched the prince complete the painting in one go.

"Prince, this seems to be better than the previous painting."

Hearing his words, the prince smiled gently.

On the day of the banquet, Shen Jiarou asked people to prepare in advance.

At the big round dining table, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw the table full of food.

Even though the prince had eaten many delicacies in the palace, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

Prince Rong and his wife looked at each other, and Prince Rong laughed.

"Fourth Imperial Sister, this is truly grand."

Princess Mu Xue kept swallowing her saliva. Looking at the elders who had not yet sat down, she was speechless.

Why be so reserved when there is delicious food in front of you?

"Elders, can we have dinner now?"

Princess Rong glared at her, and Princess Mu Xue quickly shut up.

As the host, Shen Jiarou said softly, "Everyone, please sit down and have your meal. Prince, please sit down."

As the most honorable prince, he lifted his robe, bent down and sat down.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let's have dinner."

Everyone sat down and savored the delicious food carefully.

There are homely dishes such as twice-cooked pork, stir-fried potato shreds with green peppers, pickled beans with minced meat, and cucumbers with mashed garlic; there are also local dishes such as dragon eel, spicy lobster, lobster with mashed garlic, spicy snails, teppanyaki squid, as well as barbecued skewers including lean meat, beef, rabbit, and chicken.

There are also delicious and nutritious chicken stewed with mushrooms and light tomato and egg soup.

Snacks include pumpkin cakes, brown sugar rice cakes, rock sugar snow pears, and wolfberry, red dates and white fungus soup.

The entire large round table was already full, but luckily it was a revolving table so everyone could rotate it and use serving chopsticks to pick up food for themselves.

This really takes everyone's taste into consideration, and everyone marveled at the thoughtfulness of the Fourth Princess, the Imperial Aunt, and the Junior Sister.

Princess Mu Xue picked up the squid and chewed it with satisfaction.

"too delicious."

The prince picked up the skewer of meat and tasted it, chewing it with satisfaction.

"Sister Yi Yi, you are a really good cook. We are all so happy."

Prince Rong, as the eldest brother, also laughed.

"Your Highness is right. How come you have so many food ideas in your head?"

Princess Rong smiled and joked, "If our fourth sister relied on her cooking skills, she would be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

The third princess and Bai Yunsu looked at each other and smiled. They also thought that the fourth sister was amazing.

As a senior sister, Xie Lianxiang has been helping her junior sister to pick up food.

"Senior sister, eat it yourself, don't just focus on me."

The joyful scene in the dining hall stunned the people serving around.

This is the first time that Fanghua Palace has so many masters, and the key is that they all get along well with each other.

The second princess was angry in the palace: I'm so angry, they didn't even invite me to the banquet.

Lily sighed in her heart: Princess Yongkang invited those who performed together that day. My master, you didn't help, and you even laughed at your own sisters. It would be strange if they would invite you. Princess Yongkang is not stupid.

Lianhua sighed and decided to comfort the princess quickly, otherwise they would be the ones who would be in trouble.

"Princess, you are still under house arrest. If the emperor knew you were out, he would be furious. It would be more trouble than gain."

As she patiently persuaded and brainwashed her, the second princess was indeed not so angry anymore.
