The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Before going to bed, Shen Jiarou had already known the report from the secret guards. She looked at herself in the mirror with an expressionless face.

This eldest princess might not have given up yet, which really made her annoyed.

Thinking of the past, Shen Jiarou closed her eyes deeply.

She didn't want such a vicious and contemptuous princess to be her future mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, she pouted her lips in thought.

No, she will go to the palace tomorrow and ask her father for an imperial decree. She must not let the eldest princess get what she wants.

She tossed and turned all night thinking about her troubles, and only fell asleep in the second half of the night. She woke up with a pair of dark eyes.

Ruan Qingling was shocked when she saw this: "Princess, have you not slept all night?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "Dress up a little today, I want to go to the palace to find my father."

Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang and others looked at each other, and according to her instructions, they dressed her in a plain light green dress, and only inserted pearl flowers in her hair. Shen Jiarou didn't even wear earrings. After breakfast, she hurried into the palace.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty attended the morning court and was stunned when he heard Liu Xu's words.

"Princess Yongkang is here?"

"Your Majesty, the princess has been here for half an hour."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was shocked and walked into the main hall with full of doubts.

Shen Jiarou propped up her head, staring at a pot of plants out of boredom.

Hey, when will the emperor leave court?

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Jiarou suddenly looked up and looked at Emperor Yuan Shun with curiosity.

"Father, I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Shun of Yuan lifted up his dragon robe and sat down: "Why are you here today? I heard from Liu Xu that you have been waiting for me for half an hour. What's the matter?"

Shen Jiarou said carefully, "Father, you promised me before that if I had any idea, I would ask you for a reward. Is this still true?"

When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty heard this, he became interested.

"Oh? Now you have it?"

Shen Jiarou nodded solemnly: "Yes."

"Then tell me, I'll listen first."

"Please give me an imperial decree, allowing me to freely choose my own son-in-law in the future."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Shh, say it again."

Li Jiang and Liu Xu were also shocked by her words.

Shen Jiarou said patiently, "Your son says, please give me an imperial decree and let me freely choose the candidate for the future prince consort."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty took the handkerchief handed to him by Li Jiang, and then looked at her seriously.

"seriously?"

"How can this be false?"

"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" He felt very strange about it.

Shen Jiarou sat on the couch and said, "Father, your secret guards didn't tell you that the eldest princess came to my house yesterday?"

Emperor Yuan Shun was stunned. He was too busy yesterday and had not paid attention to this aspect.

After listening to his daughter's explanation, he finally understood and looked at her.

"It's not impossible, but father must set some rules for you. Dangerous people who kill people, set fires, burn mountains, rob, etc. are definitely not allowed."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips: "It's not like I have too long to live, so you can rest assured."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty did not expect that when that day really came, he was so frightened for several days that he thought it was an illusion.

"Okay, just think it over carefully. But if that day comes, your father, the emperor, your mother, your grandmother, your father, and your mother will have to agree."

Li Jiang sighed that the emperor was still one step ahead.

Shen Jiarou quickly said, "Then three to two is the standard."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty took a deep look at his little daughter and sighed that she was getting smarter as she grew older.

He could only reluctantly and lovingly agree: "Okay, Father will agree to it."

But he never expected that two years later, his little daughter, whom he was most proud of, would take out the imperial edict he had written personally at that time.

Shen Jiarou left happily with the imperial edict. After leaving the imperial study, she handed the edict to Zheng Shutong and asked him to take it out of the palace for safekeeping.

With a smile on her face, Shen Jiarou walked through the long corridors in the palace, and finally came to Fengyi Palace.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

Seeing her come back, the queen smiled gently.

"The princess is back. Come and let mother see if she has lost weight."

The queen looked around her, then nodded with satisfaction and reached out to touch her delicate face again and again.

"It should be round like this, cute and beautiful."

Nanny Luo watched from the side and smiled gently and dotingly.

"Come to think of it, the princess now looks a bit like the queen."

The queen was stunned, then looked at the little girl seriously.

"Look, mother. I do feel they are somewhat similar."

Bai Yuechu smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because we've lived together for so long that I feel a bit similar to the Empress."

The queen was even more delighted when she heard this. She held Shen Jiarou's hands and asked her about her well-being, which made Shen Jiarou cry out in her heart.

"Mother, I remember that I still have something to ask the Empress Dowager, so I will take my leave today."

The Queen reluctantly said, "My Queen Mother just spoke to you for a few words. Why are you so anxious?"

Shen Jiarou smiled uncomfortably: "Of course it is important."

The queen had no choice but to let him go.

"Then you will come to see mother again tomorrow, remember?"

Shen Jiarou responded quickly while walking quickly.

"My son knows."

Zhen Luosang and others followed them and quickly left Fengyi Palace without knowing why, but she did not forget to ask.

"Princess, when are we going to look for the Queen Mother?" I didn't hear the princess say that.

Ruan Qingling held her back. It was obvious that this was the princess's excuse. But the little girl was still foolish enough to ask the princess, not even afraid of getting her angry.

Shen Jiarou slowed down her pace and strolled towards Fushou Palace.

Concubine Zhang was wandering around the Imperial Garden alone with her maids. When she saw a small figure in front of her, she walked towards it.

"The princess has returned to the palace."

Seeing her, Shen Jiarou was stunned: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Zhang smiled and raised her hand: "Princess, please don't be polite. Are you preparing to return to the palace?"

"Go to Fushou Palace."

"Visiting the Queen Mother. I haven't visited her recently. Let's go together."

Shen Jiarou was reluctant, but she still nodded with a smile: "Okay."

The two chatted idly along the way, and it took them an hour and a half to reach Fushou Palace, which should have taken half an hour.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang and Princess Yongkang request an audience."

When the bird-playing queen mother heard this, she looked at Aunt Zhen suspiciously.

"Why did they come together?"

Aunt Zhen shook her head: "Maybe we met on the road."

The Queen Mother had a lot more to think about when she was in this position.

"Declarate it."

"Her Majesty Xuan Guifei and Princess Yongkang are here to see you."

Two people walked in dignifiedly, one in front and one in the back.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Queen Mother. May you be well and at peace."

"I pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother one by one. May the Imperial Grandmother be well."

The Queen Mother saw Shen Jiarou and waved lovingly: "No need to be polite, come to the Imperial Grandmother, and the Imperial Concubine, please sit down too."

Concubine Zhang said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting me sit down."

"Yi Yi, you returned to the palace quite early this time. How was the flower-viewing banquet at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion going?" the Queen Mother asked kindly.

Shen Jiarou said obediently: "It's good, the second and third sisters are both there."

When the Queen Mother heard that both sisters had gone, she nodded with satisfaction.

She also understood why the little girl addressed him differently. There are always levels of closeness in relationships, and latecomers often cannot take the upper hand.
