The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 272 Selected to Receive the Diplomatic Envoys
Shen Jiarou was stunned when she received the handwritten letter from her father. She opened the envelope and began to read.
"How is my daughter?
Your sketchbook is very interesting, and Father is very interested in it. Yiyi girl, Father is also very happy about your wind chime, thank you for your hard work, our lovely and sensible Yiyi girl.
......"
The letter mentioned that she was going to visit the Yuan Dynasty as an envoy back to Meng State. After discussion with her father and court officials, she was chosen to be one of the guests to welcome her.
Shen Jiarou didn't even dare to think about welcoming the envoys.
She really couldn't understand why such an important mission was allowed to involve her, a girl who was less than nine years old.
Ruan Qingling was deeply puzzled when she saw her princess frowning.
"Princess, but what does the letter say?"
Shen Jiarou frowned and sighed: "My father asked me to welcome the Meng Kingdom delegation back."
Ruan Qingling and others were shocked.
Yaer pursed her lips and said, "Return to Meng Country? Isn't that the country where the princess has been? Are they going to send our dynasty?"
Zhen Luosang was also confused.
"Yes." I don't know which minister suggested that she welcome guests. It was simply looking for something to do for her.
The Minister of Rites was handling official business in the government office when he suddenly coughed, which scared him.
It's strange. It hasn't rained and the temperature hasn't dropped in the past few days, so why is he still coughing?
Ever since he learned that the princess was chosen to welcome the guests, Emperor Wenzong of Tang had been looking unhappy until he returned home.
In the study, Li Lesong brought a cup of osmanthus tea and put it down.
"Master, this is osmanthus tea. You can drink it after it cools down for a while."
Tang Wenzong nodded slightly: "Yes."
Looking at the master who was worried, Li Lesong was puzzled.
"What trouble have you encountered?"
Emperor Wenzong of Tang shook his head and said, "It was not me, the master, but the princess. The Minister of Rites suggested that the princess welcome the guests."
Li Lesong was shocked: "Ah, but the princess is not yet nine years old, will it work?"
With so many ministers in the court, how could they target his princess?
Tang Wenzong shook his head: "Who knows?"
After he made up his mind, he decided to write a handwritten letter to inform his daughter.
The Minister of Rites never thought that a casual remark of his would lead to "disaster" for several parties.
Shen Jiarou received a letter from her father the day before she left Fenghe County.
Just as the shop owner He Shixu and the accountant Chen Liehou left the princess's residence, a man dressed as a guard arrived.
Shen Jiarou thought it was troublesome to change the plaque of the mansion, so she never changed it again. Therefore, the mansion in Fenghe County is still the County Lady's Mansion.
It was a little hot in the courtyard even in midsummer.
As soon as Shen Jiarou walked to the front yard, she met Bao Zhiqing.
"Master, why are you walking so fast?"
"Princess, there's a letter from the master."
Shen Jiarou was shocked: "My father sent me a letter?"
Hey, this was the first time she received a letter from her father, and she didn’t know what it said.
Sitting in the study, she was stunned after reading it.
Ruan Qingling and others were waiting quietly, when Shen Jiarou suddenly spoke.
"I don't think I know this Minister of Rites well. Why did he suddenly ask me to greet him?"
It’s weird.
Bao Zhiqing speculated: "Could it really be for the imperial court?"
Xu Zhi raised his head and asked, "Could it be that we are overthinking it?"
Shen Jiarou helplessly spread her hands: "Maybe, anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed."
She could only face the challenge head-on. She thought she should get some training in advance.
After Shen Jiarou finished reading all the county magistrates, she has published fifty illustrated books, one for each book. Just from the sales of ten copies of each book, she has earned twenty-five thousand yuan in royalties.
On the way back, she calculated in the carriage.
"We have a total of fifty copies, and we sold ten copies each, earning more than twenty thousand silver coins. We have already gained a reputation in the early stages, so it's time to give out more places."
Zhen Luosang was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Miss, how can you be so generous?"
The other five people looked at her curiously, and Shen Jiarou smiled.
"Ten copies of a book are published every day. Those who collect ten copies can enjoy a 30% discount by registering at Shi Ya Xuan Restaurant."
The six people were shocked, and Zhen Luopang was even more surprised and asked, "Ah, girl, isn't the discount too much?"
Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."
Elemental Frost guessed: "You have to sacrifice to gain?"
Shen Jiarou gave her a thumbs up: "Our sister Su Shuang is getting smarter and smarter."
Zhang Zirou was puzzled: "But girl, will the bookstore make any requests?"
Shen Jiarou didn't care at all: "Don't worry, if we increase the number of books we publish, more people will come to the store, and they can also sell more other books, and even writing brushes, inkstones, and paper. They will be so happy that they won't dare to offend us."
Although she talked about not giving their bookstore a share of the profits, she could let them directly promote Princess's Journey and let people know that the contents of the book were written by her herself, which would also be a great publicity.
It sounds amazing that it was written by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself. Is he afraid that he won't make any money?
On the way back to Beijing, they took another detour.
Traveling means going to different places.
By the side of a small river, Shen Jiarou sat on a rock and looked at the emerald green water.
"Girl, this water is so green."
Shen Jiarou thought of the sea which was bigger than the rivers and she looked at Ruan Qingling.
"Sister Qingling, have you ever seen the sea?"
Ruan Qingling shook her head: "What is the sea?"
Shen Jiarou was ashamed, she forgot that many people don’t know what the sea looks like.
“It’s an area of water that’s larger than a river, and the water is blue.”
Ruan Qingling was shocked: "The water is blue? Doesn't that mean it's poisonous?"
Shen Jiarou shook her head: "No, it's mainly because of the sunlight shining on the sea."
Ruan Qingling nodded, not quite understanding: "Princess, you know a lot."
It turns out that I didn't read this book in vain.
But she also read the storybooks, and there seemed to be nothing else except the scholar and the lady. Could it be that they were reading different things?
Mr. Li is catching fish and even wants to catch shrimp.
When Huzhan saw the water, he jumped in, splashing water.
Everything was peaceful during the day, but at night they encountered a pack of wolves.
Everyone sleeping in the carriage was awakened by the howling of wolves.
Doctor Wang stood up too quickly and accidentally hit the roof of the carriage.
The guards drew their swords and prepared for battle. Zhang Zirou lifted the curtain and saw pairs of eyes in the woods.
"It looks like there are a lot of wolves."
Zhen Luosang was shocked: "Ah, what should we do then?"
We had a safe journey, but why did we encounter a pack of wolves on the way back?
Shen Jiarou and Zheng Shutong also lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Everyone was shocked by the moonlight.
Bao Zhiqing shouted: "Protect the princess."
Shen Jiarou also took out a whip from her waist in case of emergency.
There was a voice in the woods, and everyone was startled.
"These wolves are not raised by humans."
Zheng Shutong rolled his eyes at Mr. Li.
"Brother Li, do you think everyone is a princess and can raise a wolf?"
Her princess raised wolves from wolf milk.
Shen Jiarou had very sensitive hearing. When she heard the heart-wrenching sound in front of her, her scalp felt tingling.
"Can any of you hear those sounds?"
Xu Zhi shouted back, "Princess, I'm afraid the wolves were led out by the people in the forest ahead."
Everyone was shocked. What on earth happened ahead?
"Ah, help... help..."
Hearing the tragic screams, everyone's hearts trembled and their bodies shook.
