The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou added ingredients to the grilled fish over and over again, and the Thirteenth Prince was almost drooling at the smell.

"Fourth sister, when can we eat?"

"It's almost done. Just wait for half a cup of tea."

Shi Qingxue calculated the time in his mind, and when he felt that it was almost time, he quickly reminded his master.

"Thirteenth Prince, can we eat fish and shrimp now?"

When the Thirteenth Prince heard this, he woke up immediately from his drowsiness.

"Fourth sister, is it time to eat?"

Shen Jiarou smiled at his drooling look and said, "Little greedy pig, come and sit down. Everything is ready except for the east wind."

Master Fu coughed suddenly upon hearing this: "Princess, this idiom is not used like that."

Shen Jiarou waved her hand: "Oh, teacher, don't be too serious, otherwise it will be less fun. Let's eat."

The maids poured sour plum soup for them all, and Shen Jiarou raised her wine glass.

"Come, we are together again, cheers." Then she drank it all in one gulp. The sour plum soup made her drink so heroic that the Third Princess and Nanny Ouhe were both stunned.

The Thirteenth Prince thought his Fourth Sister was stunningly beautiful and clapped excitedly.

Shen Jiarou winked at him in a cute and mischievous way, and the Thirteenth Prince was touched by his fourth sister.

"Fourth sister, this sour plum soup is also delicious. I want to eat fish."

When Nanny Wang heard this, she quickly picked out the bones from the fish.

"Come, Prince Thirteen, try it."

She looked at her master expectantly, and the Thirteenth Prince narrowed his eyes as he ate.

"It's delicious, Mammy. I want more."

"Oh, it will be ready soon."

Master Fu personally picked up grilled fish for his wife and even considerately pointed out the fish flaws, which made Shen Jiarou and the third princess look at each other in bewilderment.

"Third sister, they all have people picking out the flaws, and I want some too." Looking at her sister who was winking at her, the third princess shyly picked up a piece of fish and carefully picked out the flaws in front of everyone.

"Come on, eat."

"Thank you, third sister."

The third princess was almost disgusted by her, and Ouhe, who was standing by, could hardly stop laughing.

Under the bright moonlight, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat on the glazed tiles on the eaves of the East Palace.

Looking at the full moon hanging high in the sky, he picked up a small jar of osmanthus wine and poured it into his mouth.

He is seventeen now, and will be eighteen in the warm spring of next year, and the time for choosing a concubine and getting married will be approaching.

He even felt a little annoyed when thinking of this, but he had no one to talk to, so he could only worry alone.

Suburbs of Beijing

The Thirteenth Prince ate the grilled skewers in his hand and drank a sip of sour plum soup with satisfaction.

"Fourth sister, it's great here. Can we stay a few more days?"

He accidentally heard his third sister asking his fourth sister when she would return to the palace. His fourth sister said that it would be in the next two days, but he was reluctant to leave.

Grand Tutor Fu smiled brightly and gently: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Prince, you can definitely stay for a few more days this time."

He had brought his old wife here with great difficulty, and he was unwilling to go back until he had stayed for a while.

The Thirteenth Prince nodded in confusion: "Oh, OK."

Without Master Fu and his wife, the Master's Mansion seemed to lack soul, and the three daughters-in-law had no appetite for meals.

The eldest lady said, "I wonder how my mother-in-law and father-in-law have been doing in the suburbs of Beijing these past two days."

The Second Madam continued, "Yes, I wonder what delicious food the princess made for them."

The Third Lady sighed, "If I had known this, I should have followed."

When Fu Liyong came back, he saw that his three sisters-in-law had not eaten yet. They were holding their chopsticks in a daze, with a lot of questions in their minds.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

The three of them were startled by him.

The eldest lady scolded: "Uncle, why don't you make any noise when you walk?"

scared her to death.

The Second Madam echoed, "That's right, Fourth Uncle, we sisters-in-law were scared to death by you."

Fu Liyong pouted with a wronged look on his face: "I didn't do anything. It was obviously you who were distracted, why are you all blaming me?"

He is more wronged than Dou E.

When the third lady saw him coming back so early, she was full of doubts.

"Uncle, why are you back so early today?"

Fu Liyong said, "I was ordered to leave the capital for work and came back to pack my luggage."

Upon hearing this, the eldest lady expressed her concern.

"stay How long?"

"The return date is uncertain, probably half a month to one month."

The second wife was shocked: "You're gone for such a long time. You have to pack well. Winter is coming soon. You can't let yourself suffer."

Fu Liyong was still very moved and relieved when he heard his second sister-in-law's words.

"I won't tell my sisters-in-law anymore. I have to go and clean up."

The third lady saw him running away and spoke quickly.

"Uncle, have lunch before you leave."

Fu Liyong waved his hand: "No, it's too late."

Shen Jiarou had just gotten up and was stunned when she heard the noise outside.

"Sister Qingling, go see what's going on outside."

"Yes, princess."

As soon as Ruan Qingling walked out of the main hall, she saw Xie Lianxiang, Fu Liyong and others walking towards her.

"Senior Sister? Mr. Fu Si?" She seemed to be still awake from her nap. She rubbed her eyes quickly and looked carefully again, and found that there were still two people.

"Are you seeing things? Why did you come here suddenly?" This was too sudden.

Shen Jiarou heard the noise getting louder and louder, and walked out of the room with the help of Zhen Luosang, and saw an engaged couple walking towards them.

"Senior Sister and Brother?" She must have been sleepy and hallucinating.

Xie Lianxiang and the others bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Princess Junior Sister."

"I pay my respects to the princess and her junior sister."

Master Fu and his wife got up and went to the courtyard. When they heard a familiar voice coming from the main hall, they looked at each other in confusion.

"Master, why do I seem to hear the voice of the fourth master?"

"Go and have a look."

The two walked in one after the other and were surprised to see the person sitting below.

"Fourth Brother, it's really you. Xie Xiangjun is here too." Master Fu expressed his surprise.

When Mrs. Taifu saw her future fourth daughter-in-law, she hurried over and sat down enthusiastically.

"Lianxiang, when did you arrive?"

Xie Lianxiang was about to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the Grand Tutor’s wife.

"Hurry up and sit down. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you a little bit."

Shen Jiarou coughed unnaturally: "Master's wife, there are a few of us living here, why do you only have eyes for Senior Sister?"

Madam Taifu scolded, "Princess, we have seen each other every day these days, what is there to think about?"

Shen Jiarou sighed deeply: "Alas, most people forget their mothers after they get a wife, but Master's wife forgets me after she gets a daughter-in-law."

The third princess held her soft little hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm still here."

The Thirteenth Prince didn't understand what was happening, but he quickly agreed.

"Fourth sister, and me."

Shen Jiarou was amused by the two of them: "My wounded young heart has finally been comforted a little. Come on, accompany me for a walk outside, let's breathe some fresh air."

Master Fu's family of three and Xie Lianxiang watched them leave.

Master Fu looked at his youngest son and asked, "Why are you here all of a sudden? Aren't you on duty?"

Fu Liyong sighed: "My son has been ordered to leave the capital, and will be away for half a month to a month."

When it comes to official business, Master Fu has always kept public and private affairs separate.

"Well, be careful when you go out. You're going to get married soon."

Madam Taifu looked at her son and future daughter-in-law with a loving and eager face, and kept holding Xie Lianxiang's delicate hands and patting them gently.
