The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 178: Meeting by Chance at Fushou Palace

"Yeah, it's good. It's really delicious. This girl is a filial one."

Thinking of the beginning of winter today, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty suddenly asked, "Who has it?"

Li Jiang reported truthfully, "Except for you, the princess gave gifts to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Concubine De and her daughter, the Crown Prince, Prince Rong, Lord Tang, and the Grand Tutor."

Thinking of these people, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty smiled.

"This girl is kind and honest, and she is very kind and sincere to others. This is really precious."

Thinking about the other princes not sending any, I wonder what they would think in their hearts.

Shen Jiarou didn't care about this at all.

Li Jiang thought of Xuanyi Palace, glanced at the emperor, and finally spoke.

"The princess also sent someone to deliver it to the Thirteenth Prince."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shun of Yuan was stunned.

He didn't remember the girl having any contact with the Thirteenth Prince, so why would he suddenly send someone to deliver her?

But it’s not a big deal, I can ask her later.

After eating the dumplings, the other princes were somewhat envious.

They are obviously the fourth sister's brothers, but she only gave it to the eldest brother and the prince, which is obviously favoritism.

Is it because one of them is the eldest and the other is the heir?

Shen Jiarou happily had her meal in her own palace, and then went to the Shangshufang.

Today, Master Fu arrived just after Shen Jiarou.

"The student has met the teacher."

"I see you, princess."

After both sides greeted each other, they sat down to attend class.

Suddenly, autumn is over, and tomorrow is the beginning of winter. I am happy to see the green and glittering water, and the lotus in white. - Feng Bogui, "Leaning on the Railing at the End of the Year"

Shen Jiarou recited this poem about the beginning of winter carefully.

There were sounds of reading inside the hall and snow flying outside.

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

This was their first winter in the palace with the princess.

In addition to attending classes every day, Shen Jiarou would often come to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects.

Seeing her mother busy at work, she bowed respectfully and then sat quietly aside.

It was not until half an hour had passed that the queen slowly put down the account book and looked up. When she saw the petite figure, she realized that she had forgotten the princess was beside her.

"I'm sorry, mother..."

Shen Jiarou interrupted in advance, "Mother is busy, it's okay for me to wait."

The queen put down the account book, slowly stood up and walked in front of the little girl.

At this time, Shen Jiarou had stood up, and the queen touched her head lovingly.

"My son is very considerate. After doing it for a while, do you feel cold?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head. "There are floor heating in the palace, and I am well dressed, so I don't feel cold."

Hearing this, the queen felt relieved.

The queen sat down and chatted with her daughter about family matters. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this moment, a singing announcement broke the warm scene in the hall.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

A young man in a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe walked over in square steps.

"Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be well."

Shen Jiarou bowed to this gentle brother and said, "I greet you, my prince."

Seeing the little girl's rosy complexion and obviously round face, the prince couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched her.

"With you here, my brother is much less worried."

Shen Jiarou pouted, "Brother Crown Prince, you are joking."

While she was talking, she took a step back and her little face was pinched so hard that it hurt.

Noticing how the two siblings get along, the queen shook her head and laughed inwardly, but did not show it on her face.

"Well, you have no shame in bullying your sister as soon as you get here."

Shen Jiarou agreed, "That's right."

Now both mother and son laughed.

After staying for a while, Shen Jiarou went to the study room to continue her classes, spending every day with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

On this day, Princess Mu Xue handed in a sign and entered the palace, and first paid a visit to the Queen Mother in Fushou Palace.

"Mu Xue greets the great-grandmother. Please be well, great-grandmother."

Seeing her bright and beautiful great-granddaughter, the empress dowager loved her very much.

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Princess Mu Xue smiled brightly.

"Why didn't your mother come today?"

Princess Mu Xue replied respectfully, "My mother has been coughing recently and cannot come to the palace. I am afraid that my great-grandmother will be sick."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she became a little worried.

"But you caught a cold?"

Princess Mu Xue shook her head, "Mu Xue doesn't know either."

Princess Shen Jiarou's entourage arrived at Fushou Palace and was visibly stunned when she heard the voice inside.

She seemed to hear Mu Xue's voice.

"Princess Yongkang has arrived!"

Shen Jiarou was wearing a rose-red palace dress today, with snow-white plum blossoms on it, looking sparkling.

"Yi Yi has met the Imperial Grandmother."

The Queen Mother was so happy to see the cheerful look that she narrowed her eyes in smile.

"Miss Rou is here, come and sit next to the Empress Dowager." When there are other people around, the Empress Dowager usually calls Shen Jia "Miss Rou".

So Shen Jiarou walked over wearing her plum blossom embroidered shoes.

"Royal Grandmother."

Laughter could be heard from the hall from time to time, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were having a great time.

"Royal Great-grandmother, you don't know how powerful the Royal Aunt is. Mu Xue got a full two thousand taels of silver last month." When she first knew about this, she was extremely happy.

Shen Jiarou listened silently until the Queen Mother started to joke, "That's great, is it because you have made a lot of money yourself?"

Mu Xue smiled gently and nodded, "Yes."

Shen Jiarou's next words made her look sad.

"Mu Xue, I'm afraid this month won't work."

Mu Xue was stunned for a moment; confusion appeared on her face.

"Why?"

The girl said lightly with red lips, "It's cold, I don't want to go out."

If possible, she didn't want to go out and would rather stay in bed to keep warm.

Upon hearing what the royal aunt said, Princess Mu Xue was instantly deflated.

“I’m so angry.”

Thinking about how many months of winter were left, she became anxious.

"What should I do in the future?" It can't always be this bad, otherwise I will lose a lot of money.

Shen Jiarou shook her head calmly, "Don't worry, I have my own way."

Seeing this, Princess Mu Xue no longer continued to write about the topic.

"The third princess has arrived!"

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all stunned at the same time, and the empress dowager looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Did you guys make this appointment?"

When the third princess arrived, the palace servants took her moonlight-colored cloak.

"My granddaughter greets my royal grandmother. May my royal grandmother be well."

"Good boy, get up and sit down."

She naturally loves her third granddaughter, but she likes Xiaorou, who is not her biological daughter, more. After all, she is pretty, cute, sweet-spoken and sensible.

Shen Jiarou and Princess Mu Xue looked at each other and then at the third princess.

The third princess said aggrievedly, "No one informed me that you came to the Royal Grandmother's palace. I am so angry."

Shen Jiarou stood up and pulled her third sister, who was not good at speaking, to sit down at the bottom.

"It was just a coincidence."

Princess Mu Xue also replied softly, "Yes, Aunt Three Emperors."

Seeing her eldest niece's serious and cute face with blinking eyes, the third princess picked up the handkerchief to cover her face.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now."

Seeing that they were getting along well with each other, the Queen Mother was very happy and the smile on her face became even more loving.

But everything disappeared with the arrival of the second princess.

The second princess, wearing a noble purple palace dress, saluted and said, "Granddaughter greets the Imperial Grandmother. May the Imperial Grandmother give her best wishes."

The three of them looked at each other, stood up and greeted each other.

"I've met the Second Emperor Sister."

"Meet the Second Royal Aunt."

The Queen Mother clearly felt that the atmosphere in the palace had become subtle since her second granddaughter arrived.

The three people who were originally good at speaking suddenly became gentle and quiet, only occasionally agreeing, and most of the time it was the second princess who did the talking.
