The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 309: The Princess's Idea, Rejected by Emperor Yuan Shun

It had been two months since the envoys had arrived in Beijing. In the last month of late summer, soldiers from both armies performed horseback archery shows.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest prince, Lakaqi, competed in archery. The two stood opposite the target, drew their bows, and shot at the target in front of them.

When Shen Jiarou saw the red heart that was shot, she was stunned.

"Princess, they all hit the bull's eye." Ruan Qingling was a little excited.

Princess Mu Xue was surprised and said, "Uncle Nine is so powerful that he actually shot the bull's eye."

It was the first time she had watched him shoot arrows seriously.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty did not care much about the result of their fight which ended in a draw. As both of them were the heirs of their respective countries, it was normal for this situation to happen.

The masters have finished their competition, and now it is the generals' turn.

General Yadamu corresponded with General Ohbayashi Chao Xinwu. As strong men, the two picked up the prepared bows and arrows, aimed forward and shot.

Everyone looked at it and found that it was the red heart that was hit again.

Princess Kangmei said excitedly: "Our general is amazing."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly: "Both armies are powerful."

Huzhan lay obediently at her feet, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Shen Jiarou would touch its head from time to time, and it would rub back, creating a warm scene.

When Jiang Shijie saw this scene, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Jiang Shisheng was originally watching the game and accidentally looked at his brother, and found that he was staring in the direction of Princess Yongkang.

The faint curve at the corner of his mouth made his heart skip a beat.

The next moment after he looked away, Shen Jiarou accidentally looked up and happened to see Jiang Shijie looking at her. She glared at him and quickly looked away.

Ruan Qingling noticed that her princess glared at the Second Young Master Jiang. She frowned instantly and leaned over to whisper a reminder in her princess' ear.

"Princess, there are so many people here, we have to be careful." As the princess's personal maid, she had to remind her master at all times.

Shen Jiarou understood what she meant: "Yeah."

Jiang Shijie felt upset. He just glanced at her, but she glared at him. Why did she hate him so much?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Ruan Qingling talking to his sister, and then looked around his sister and found that someone had a strange look in his eyes.

Jiang Shijie?

Why does he look so hurt?

The eldest princess finally understood why her second son had been absent-minded recently.

Thinking of what she had guessed, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Her second legitimate son was already sixteen years old and old enough to get married, so she looked in the direction of her royal brother.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty may have sensed something was wrong, he raised his head and looked around, only to see the eldest princess looking at her second son with a smile on her face.

The eldest princess’ second son?

It seems that he is sixteen years old, and the eldest son is twenty, both of them are old enough to get married.

Who is that smiling face looking at?

Thinking of his own crown prince, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty also felt that he could start looking for a suitable crown princess for him. However, he didn't know what type of woman his son liked, and whether she could be worthy of being a crown princess.

Shen Jiarou, Jiang Shijie, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no idea that both sides had already put so much thought into the matter.

The queen kept watching her son, but Nanny Luo noticed that the eldest princess was acting strangely, so she decided to go back to the palace to remind her own mother.

The Queen Mother looked at the two heirs with a loving face: "The Crown Prince and the eldest prince are both outstanding people. Their archery skills are so similar, which shows that they have put a lot of thought into it every day."

The two people who were praised by their elders smiled at each other with slightly blushing faces.

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandmother."

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the compliment."

The Queen Mother smiled lovingly: "The two countries are relatives and friendly countries. We should praise them when necessary."

The ministers had different thoughts. It seemed that the Queen Mother was very satisfied with this, and the Emperor must be particularly satisfied as well.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, Nanny Luo looked at her queen with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, I noticed something was wrong with the way the eldest princess looked at the princess today. I wonder if it was my illusion." She really felt something was wrong.

Upon hearing this, the queen put down the teacup in her hand.

"The look in your eyes is wrong?" She didn't know how to describe it.

“It’s just a satisfying feeling.”

Bai Yuechu felt strange when she heard this. The eldest princess always targeted them. If she said she was satisfied, then...

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess's two legitimate sons are unmarried. Could it be that..."

The queen was shocked: "That can't be possible. Jiang Shisheng is already twenty years old, and the second son is sixteen. The difference is quite large compared to our family."

Nanny Luo retorted: "Although the eldest son is older, the younger son is only seven years younger than the princess. Even if he is willing to wait, he can get married at the age of twenty-one, which is not too late."

The queen frowned, she also felt that something was wrong here.

"She wouldn't really fall in love with my princess, would she?" She is her only daughter, who is like her own daughter.

She didn't want her caring and filial daughter to marry someone she hated, not to mention that she was only nine years old now. Although she would be ten soon, she would have to stay until she was at least sixteen or seventeen before getting married.

Her daughter only has these few years to live a happy life, and she doesn't want her spoiled daughter to enter married life too early.

"I have to find a time to talk to the emperor about this." But she didn't expect that someone would be impatient in just one night.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yuan Shun looked at his sister. Seeing her serious expression, he was not happy, but frowned.

"Why did you suddenly think of Yongkang?" His little daughter is only ten years old, how could she be engaged so early?

The princess smiled and said, "Yongkang is of noble status and capable, so I am naturally happy for him."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty frowned when he heard this: You may be happy, but my daughter may not be happy.

He was not a fool and could not see how much she hated this imperial aunt.

"Let's talk about this later. Yongkang is just a little old. You are too anxious."

"Royal brother, Shijie is already sixteen years old, not too young." Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was so angry that he laughed in his heart. What does your son's age have to do with my daughter?

"Then choose another girl with a good family background for her, and don't delay him." Anyway, his daughter didn't want to get married so early.

"But my royal brother..." He was ruthlessly interrupted by Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty.

"Okay, the envoy hasn't left yet. I have a lot of things to do, so please don't bother me." What's wrong with this imperial sister? It seems like she doesn't understand what people say.

The eldest princess finally returned in disappointment, and Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty kept staring at her back until he could no longer see her.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Li Jiang Liuxu didn't dare to speak easily.

"The eldest princess's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. She even dares to covet my legitimate princess, who is also my most favored princess."

Li Jiang echoed Emperor Yuan Shun's words: "That's true. Now that the princess's status is even more different, it's inevitable that she may have more thoughts."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty snorted coldly: "More than a little more, my legitimate princess is fully worthy of being the queen of his country."

Who would want to be the daughter-in-law of her eldest princess? Given his daughter's current status and position, it was not something to brag about.
