The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 32: Promotion to Princess

Shen Jiarou was promoted again for her meritorious service.

Lord Li marveled at Shen Jiarou's good luck. She was promoted three times in less than a year.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Shen Jiarou has pacified the bandits and brought them under the control of the demons. This is truly a blessing for our Dalin Dynasty and the people. Because of her meritorious service, she is specially conferred the title of Princess of the Fourth Rank, namely Princess of Yongkang, enjoying the salary of the Fourth Rank, and is rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, 10 pieces of gold, 10 pieces of Yunjin, and the addition of Nanning County to her fiefdom. She is entitled to 10% of the tax revenue, and is granted a five-story mansion. This is decreed."

Shen Jiarou was stunned by what she heard. She had accidentally been promoted again, and her salary had increased and benefits were provided. She also had a fifth house and an extra cover?

Oh my god, is she dreaming?

Seeing that she hadn't accepted the order yet, the eunuch who announced the decree asked in confusion, "My Lady, please accept the order."

Shen Jiarou reacted and raised her hands respectfully. The eunuch who announced the imperial edict respectfully placed the imperial edict in her hands.

Nanny He stood up first and helped her up.

Ruan Qingling took out a bag of silver and handed it to the eunuch Xuanzhi, who weighed it and exclaimed with satisfaction.

"I congratulate you, my Lord."

Under the guidance of Nanny He, Shen Jiarou has become more adept at dealing with people. "Thank you, eunuch. If it is convenient for you, could you please stay for dinner?"

The eunuch announcing the decree waved his hand and said, "No, I thank you for your kindness. I have to go back to the capital to report the decree, so I will take my leave today."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Nanny He knelt down to see him off.

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

After Bao Zhiqing sent him out, Shen Jiarou was helped by Nanny He to sit down at the main seat.

Nanny He looked at the three people sent by the emperor and bowed to the older Nanny Su.

"This old servant greets Madam Su."

The woman called Mammy knelt down solemnly towards Shen Jiarou.

"This old servant, Su Yuhua, greets the princess."

Shen Jiarou glanced at Nanny He and spoke calmly.

"Madame Su, please don't be polite."

Then a 12.3-year-old girl also bowed respectfully to Shen Jiarou.

"Your servant Zhen Luosang greets the Lord."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "No need to be polite, young lady."

Nanny He at the side coughed, reminding her master not to address her carelessly.

When Zhen Luosang first heard this, he was indeed stunned. What kind of title is "young sister"? It sounds quite nice.

In the main hall, only the indifferent man was left who did not greet. Except for Shen Jiarou, Nanny He, Ruan Qingling and Yaer all looked at him.

Not long after, under everyone's gaze, the man walked forward, knelt on one knee and saluted.

"I am Xu Zhi, your subordinate, and I am here to see you, Lord."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "Get up."

She looked at Madam He who was waiting on the side and said, "Madam, go get some silver as a gift for them."

Hearing this, Nanny He bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Nanny Su knew that this was a reward from her master, so she stood there respectfully.

After waiting for a while, Shen Jiarou felt that the atmosphere was depressing and spoke to mediate.

"Madam Su, please take a seat."

When Nanny Su heard this, she said in panic, "My Lord, we old servants will just stand there."

Shen Jiarou sighed helplessly. The rules are dead, but people are alive. There is no need to be so dead.

"I feel pressured if you stand, so you should sit down."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and helplessly, Nanny Su had to obey.

"Thank you, old slave, my Lord."

When Zhen Luosang and Xu Zhi saw this, they also bowed and expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord."

"Thank you, Lord."

When Nanny He came back, she brought a maid with her, and the atmosphere in the main hall was still harmonious.

"master."

Shen Jiarou and Nanny He looked at each other and understood each other. Shen Jiarou looked at Nanny Su and others.

"Madam Su, welcome to join us. We will have to trouble you in the future."

Nanny Su stood up and nodded slightly, "You are too polite, my lord."

Nanny He picked up a ten-liang silver ingot and handed it respectfully to Nanny Su. Nanny Su bent down to take it, then turned around to thank her.

"Thank you very much for the reward, my Lord."

The other two people gave 5 taels of silver each and expressed their gratitude in turn.

"We will all work together from now on, so let's get to know each other. Nanny He, please show Nanny Su around the mansion, and we'll have lunch together later."

The two of them saluted respectfully.

"Old slave, please retire."

"Old slave, please retire."

Seeing the two people leave, Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling again.

"Qingling, take Miss Luosang to familiarize herself with the mansion."

Ruan Qingling knelt down and bowed, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Walking up to Zhen Luosang who had already stood up, Ruan Qingling spoke to her openly.

"Miss Luosang, come on, I'll show you around the mansion."

Zhen Luosang bowed and said, "Yes, thank you for your help."

After they left, Shen Jiarou looked at Bao Zhiqing and Xu Zhi, smiled faintly and pursed her lips.

"You guys should get familiar with it too."

The two of them knelt on one knee, bowed, and left.

As they disappeared from sight, Yaer clearly felt that the girl relaxed a little.

"Sister Yaer, do you think there will be more new people coming to the mansion in the future?"

Yaer didn't dare to speculate.

"This slave doesn't know either."

Shen Jiarou looked at the respectful Yaer and sighed that she had been trained very well by Nanny He.

Nanny He knew Nanny Su. After the two of them arrived at the backyard, Nanny He greeted Nanny Su.

"Madam Su, I didn't expect you to come too."

Nanny Su smiled faintly and pursed her lips, "The emperor's arrangement."

Nanny He knew that after this incident, she was more certain about the future of her young master.

Ruan Qingling first took Zhen Luosang to the main courtyard to familiarize herself with it, and then the two arrived at the backyard.

Ruan Qingling pushed open the door. She turned and looked at Zhen Luosang who was waiting on the side. "Come in."

Zhen Luosang followed her in, being cautious along the way.

The two came to Shen Jiarou's room, and Ruan Qingling introduced it to her softly.

"This is the master's boudoir. From now on, we will all be the master's first-class maids."

Zhen Luosang smiled politely, "Got it, thank you young lady."

Hearing her name, Ruan Qingling chuckled.

"My name is Ruan Qingling. You can call me Sister Qingling from now on. Let me introduce you to the furnishings in the house."

Zhen Luosang smiled and nodded, and the two of them happily began to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Bao Zhiqing brought Xu Zhi to the gate of the mansion.

"From now on, brother, you will work with me to protect the master's safety. By the way, let's have lunch together later. If it's your first time, don't refuse."

Xu Zhi understood his underlying meaning, nodded solemnly, and bowed to thank him.

"Brother, thanks."

"It's okay, we are all brothers. Just protect the master from now on. I will introduce you to the other brothers."

When Xu Zhi learned that there were people inside who were former bandits, he was somewhat shocked.

Bao Zhiqing explained to him, "It's okay. We are all the master's people now."

Bao Zhiqing introduced each of the brothers in the mansion to him, and finally spoke solemnly in front of everyone.

"Brothers, our master has been promoted to a higher rank. In a while, we will select a group of people to guard the new mansion in the neighboring Nanning County. During this time, you must practice martial arts and exercise diligently to keep our jobs."

Everyone cheered. "Good."

"Protection guards, please rest assured that we will not be lazy."

Bao Zhiqing nodded with satisfaction, and then took Xu Zhi to familiarize himself with other places.
