The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 241: The Decline of the Marquisate and the Marriage of the Children

At the same time, the third princess had already started reading the letter.

"The gentle and kind third sister:

I am your younger sister. The sun has been shining brightly these past few days. We have left the capital and arrived in Yunzhou...

-Love your sister. "

The little girl's love was so sincere that the third princess actually cried.

Concubine De took out a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's tears: "Why are you crying, child?"

The third princess smiled shyly: "Mother, my sister is really good, very good."

Concubine De De took the letter and started reading it. She was also amused by the little girl's lively and cute tone.

De Fei gently stroked her daughter's face: "Mother is very pleased. I really have to thank your father for sending this lovely, kind and gentle person to us."

The third princess agreed very much.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty did not expect that his third daughter, who had never set foot in the imperial study, would come on her own initiative and bring food.

"My son has met my father."

The third princess was dressed in a gentle purple today, with purple pearl flowers on her hair and earrings of the same color on her ears. She looked very gentle.

"The third princess is here, where is your mother?" The sudden arrival of this girl really confused him.

The third princess smiled faintly: "My mother is embroidering in the palace."

This is also the only thing her mother is particularly passionate about.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded slightly, and the air became tense and filled with a hint of awkwardness.

Li Jiang noticed that the atmosphere was not right and chuckled in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess has brought some food here. You must be tired from reviewing the memorials. Why don't you take a break and try some of the food?"

The third princess looked at Eunuch Li with gratitude, and then looked at her father expectantly.

"Well." Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty put down the memorial he had just reviewed.

Seeing that the third princess was still sitting, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty opened his lips slightly.

"Sit across from me. It won't be tiring to stand."

The third princess could not hide her excitement; she seemed to hear the concern from her father.

Li Jiang helped to open it, and a fragrant smell came out.

"It smells pretty good."

Emperor Yuan Shun nodded slightly. After Liu Xu tested the poison, he picked up some and tasted it. The Third Princess and Li Jiang Liu Xu looked at him expectantly.

"Not bad. Is this made in the small kitchen in your palace?"

The third princess nodded slightly: "Yes, I did it."

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty paused as he was about to pick up more food: "Did you make this?"

When will his third daughter learn to cook?

Suddenly he thought of the girl who was the best at cooking. Could it be that he taught her one by one?

"It was... Fourth sister... she taught... me." Why did she suddenly stutter? It was so embarrassing.

As expected, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty laughed.

"That's not surprising. Your filial piety is commendable."

The third princess was indescribably excited to receive praise from her father.

"Father, you are joking. This is what I should do."

Li Jiang admired Princess Yongkang. As soon as she entered the palace, she eased the relationship between the emperor and his concubines and children. She was truly a wonderful person.

Liu Xu raised her head slightly and looked at the emperor and the third princess today. She finally felt like a father and daughter. On ordinary days, they were just like a monarch and his subject.

In Xiangjun's mansion, Xie Lianxiang was lying on a rocking chair under a tree, looking at the blue sky above, her thoughts drifting away.

Nianhua came over with some cakes and found that his hometown master had fallen asleep with the round fan in his hand casually draped over his body.

Worried about the country boy, she went to the inner room, took out a thin blanket, and gently covered her master with it.

During the whole process, Xie Lianxiang did not wake up.

Looking at Xiangjun's gentle sleeping face, Nianhua smiled slightly, then sat at the round table beside him and waited.

Yong'an Marquis Mansion

The wife of Marquis Yong'an came to the Huahe Courtyard where her daughter usually lived. She looked at the plants and trees, the tables and chairs inside, as if the princess was still here.

Seeing the lady's nostalgic look, Madam Hu accompanied her silently.

The wife of Yong'an Marquis sat down on the round table: "Mammy, where did you say the princess is?"

In fact, she was somewhat envious of her daughter's courage and spirit. She always had infinite energy, which was something that the noble ladies in the capital did not have.

Madam Hu shook her head: "I don't know either."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an made a cup of tea and then left with Madam Hu.

On the way back to the Youlan Room in the main courtyard, I ran into the second lady who was walking towards me.

"Sister-in-law."

"Second brother and sister."

The second wife looked at the direction where her sister-in-law came from. That was the front yard, so her sister-in-law must have come from that side.

"Is my second brother's wife coming out of our mother's yard?" That was my mother-in-law's yard.

The second wife pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, I pay my respects to my mother."

The two came to the courtyard to appreciate the flowers, sat at the round table in the pavilion, and chatted about family matters.

"Sister-in-law, the eldest daughter Shuya is already thirteen years old. In two years, she will be coming of age. What are your plans?" She actually wanted to ask her two daughters, especially the second daughter Shuxin who was already coming of age.

The third daughter is thirteen years old and still has two years before she reaches the age of marriage, so there is no need to rush.

Lady Yong'an understood the meaning of her words.

"Speaking of which, your second daughter Shuxin has reached the age of marriage, so it's time to put the matter of marriage on the agenda."

The Second Lady was waiting for this sentence: "Yes, as a mother, I am really worried."

The Marquis' Mansion today is nothing but an empty shell.

The wife of Yong'an Marquis thought more than she did. She pondered for a moment and said, "Why not ask the princess about this?"

The second wife was stunned, not understanding what her sister-in-law meant.

"The princess has clearly said that she will add some dowry to the dowries of her sisters when they get married. With the princess' current status and wealth, I'm sure her dowry will be enough. At least it won't make the future in-laws look down on the daughters of our mansion."

The second wife thought about it carefully and agreed that this was the truth.

"But my sister-in-law also knows that the princess is not in the capital now."

But she heard that the princess had gone to her fiefdom and wouldn't be back for several months.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an sneered: "As long as the princess is good, as long as she is still the legitimate daughter of our Marquis' Mansion, are you still worried that the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion can't find a family with noble character?"

The wife of Marquis Yong'an smiled softly and then stood up.

"Second brother and sister, think about it carefully. I'm going back first."

Looking at her sister-in-law's back as she left, the second wife fell into deep thought.

Her personal attendant, Madam Shu, thought for a moment and said, "Second Madam, what the First Madam said is right. It's only a few months, so why can't we wait?"

After hearing what Madam Shu said, the Second Lady temporarily gave up her plan of arranging a marriage for her second daughter.

Nanning Courtyard of Houfu

Jiang Shujia came to her second sister's courtyard and asked, "Second sister, are you embroidering again?"

You don’t have to worry about damaging the eyes if you embroider every day.

The daughters of the Marquis of Yong'an are ranked according to their respective rooms.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuxin just smiled and greeted him, then continued to embroider with her head down.

After spending a cup of tea, Jiang Shujia couldn't bear it any longer.

"Second sister, if you embroider like this every day, aren't you afraid that you will damage your eyes at such a young age?"

This time, the man who had been quiet all the time raised his head and looked at his third sister seriously.

"Jiaer, don't you understand the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion?" This sister is proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is naturally smart.

However, the Marquis' Mansion is a declining aristocratic family and has long lost its heritage.

Jiang Shujia was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"what?"

Jiang Shuxin sighed and put down the embroidery in her hands.
