The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 397 Shen Jiarou Returns to Beijing to Pay Her Homage to the Palace
It was ten days later when Shen Jiarou and her group arrived in the capital. It was drizzling, and when Nanny He saw this, she quickly opened the umbrella hanging on the inner wall of the carriage.
"Princess, be careful."
Nanny Wang and Nanny Su had been waiting outside with umbrellas. When they saw their princess coming out of the carriage, they hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Your servant greets the princess and respectfully welcomes her back to the palace."
After returning to their own courtyard, Nanny Wang and Nanny Su personally helped Shen Jiarou change her clothes.
"Princess, let's change our clothes. We can't get too cold."
Mrs. Qin personally brought a bowl of ginger soup, and when Nanny Su saw it, she hurriedly took it over.
"Come, Princess, let me feed you some ginger soup."
Smelling the unpleasant smell, Shen Jiarou frowned slightly.
"Madam Su, I don't want to drink."
Nanny Wang coaxed her softly, "Be good, Princess. After drinking for a while, have some hot pot to warm yourself up."
She specifically instructed Nanny Su to prepare hot pot to help the princesses and the others get rid of the cold.
Shen Jiarou was helpless and started to drink the ginger soup with a sense of despair. When she saw that she had reached the bottom, a smile finally appeared on her face.
"Give me a piece of brown sugar or candied fruit to hold in my mouth." Otherwise she would be fainted by the smell of ginger.
When Mrs. Qin saw it, she quickly picked up a piece of cake on the table.
"Princess, do you think the cakes are okay?"
Shen Jiarou said happily: "Okay, thank you Sister Qin."
She took it and ate it quickly.
Qin Dalang and his family also changed into clean clothes and were led into the dining hall by maids.
When Bai Yunsu returned to her home, Mrs. Bai was surprised and happy.
"Mother's good daughter is back. That's great. Come on, have a bowl of ginger soup with you two."
Bai Yunsu and Bai Qiuci frowned and drank it, and Bai Qiuci quickly took out the candy and peeled it.
"Country lord, please eat this candy slowly."
General Bai drank the whole bottle in one gulp, showing his heroic spirit. Mrs. Bai glared at him fiercely.
On the dining table, meat and vegetables were boiling in a large mandarin duck pot. Zhen Luosang picked up some beef and rolled it twice in the bowl. Then he put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Life in the capital is pretty good, too."
Qin Yijuan ate in silence. She felt that Nanny Wang and Nanny Su were both serious people. When she heard Nanny He say that they were all from the palace, she became even more nervous, fearing that her behavior would damage the first impression she made on the two maids.
Looking at the three children who were originally noisy, they now quietly lowered their heads and ate their meals.
Nanny Wang laughed when she saw it: "Why does this child only eat white rice and no vegetables?"
Qin Zhijing was stunned, and Shen Jiarou stood there looking at her.
"Xiao Jing, eat more meat. Here are chicken breast, spicy beef, quail eggs, and chicken feet. You're welcome."
Qin Zhijing smiled lightly and looked up: "Okay."
Nanny Luo walked into Fengyi Palace from the outer hall.
"Your Highness, the princess has returned home today." The queen, who was in charge of palace affairs, was pleasantly surprised. "Really? That's great. I think she will be able to enter the palace tomorrow."
Aunt Luo nodded: "Yes."
The Queen put down her red brush and said, "Prepare some more cakes, candied fruits, drinks and snacks tomorrow. I wonder if this little girl has lost weight."
Fu Shou Palace
The Queen Mother was having dinner, and she smiled when she heard the report from the palace servants.
"This girl finally came back. She is safe this time. It's really God's blessing."
Aunt Zhen smiled and pursed her lips: "The Queen Mother is right."
On the second day, Princess Yongkang's carriage drove into the palace. When the guards saw her token, they quickly let her pass.
Shen Jiarou went to Fushou Palace to pay her respects first, and the empress dowager was looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother one by one."
The Queen Mother waved to her warmly: "No need to be polite, come over and let the Royal Grandmother take a look."
Shen Jiarou smiled gently and stood up and walked over: "Grandmother."
The Queen Mother looked him up and down carefully, then nodded slightly.
"Well, I haven't lost weight, I'm fine, but my skin is a little darker."
Shen Jiarou smiled sweetly and said, "It doesn't matter. It will be a waste of time if you take some rest."
The Queen Mother, Aunt Zhen, Nanny Gui and others were amused by her.
"You, you, I can't stop you. Oh, by the way, go see your mother, she must miss you too. Have lunch with your mother, and dinner at the Royal Grandmother's place. The Royal Grandmother asked the kitchen to cook your favorite food."
Shen Jiarou accepted it happily: "Okay, I'll listen to the Imperial Grandmother. By the way, I brought you some wild chestnuts this time. They are more nutritious than domestic chestnuts. You can stew them with meat, or you can fry them and eat them after peeling the shells."
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard about wild chestnuts: "There are so many wild chestnuts outside?"
"Not only that, there are also wild kiwis and other things. However, I can't bring back the other wild fruits, so I soaked them in wine one by one and will bring them to the palace for you another day."
"Okay, I haven't eaten this wild kiwi fruit before."
Shen Jiarou smiled and explained, "It's just as sweet. Sister Qingling, bring it to the Royal Grandmother to see."
The Queen Mother looked at the box of kiwis and smiled lovingly.
"Yi Yi has a heart."
"Grandmother, I'll take my leave now. I'll come and have dinner with you tonight."
"Okay, go ahead, but drive slowly."
After watching her leave, the Queen Mother picked up the kiwi fruit, peeled it and tasted it. Aunt Zhen and Nanny Gui kept watching her expression, only to see the Queen Mother reveal a satisfied smile.
"It's really good, you two should try it too."
When the queen received a box of kiwis and chestnuts, she was stunned: why did the princess send her such fruits for no reason?
"Princess Yongkang has arrived!"
The queen put down the jewelry and looked towards the door with tenderness and love, only to see Shen Jiarou, dressed in lavender palace dress, walking in with a smile on her face and lotus steps.
"My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother!"
"No need to be polite, come and let mother see if you have lost weight."
Ruan Qingling helped Shen Jiarou up and walked forward. The girl stood in front of her. The queen smelled the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus.
"Did you bring an osmanthus sachet?"
Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded: "Mother, your guess is correct."
The queen took her hand and sat down: "You haven't lost weight, but you seem to have grown taller."
Shen Jiarou likes it most when people say that she has grown taller. After all, she wants to grow to be 1.68 meters tall.
"Mother, you have a very accurate eye. Did you receive the chestnuts and kiwis that I sent you?"
"Got it, but what's different about the fruit this time?"
Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "They are different. They are all wild and more nutritious than cultivated ones. If you don't believe me, try some."
Bai Yuechu picked up a kiwi fruit and peeled it, and the queen took a light bite.
"Well, it's quite sweet. Did your royal grandmother give it to you as a gift?"
"Yes, they have been sent to Father, the Crown Prince, Consort De, and my third sister. Oh, they have also been sent to my second sister."
Hearing this, the queen was slightly stunned.
"Have you forgiven her?"
"Not really. After all, we are sisters. If we lose face, it will bring shame to our father, the emperor, and our mother."
The queen was very pleased to hear her sensible words.
"We are getting more sensible as we grow older, but remember not to let ourselves be wronged."
Shen Jiarou raised her eyes and smiled: "I am doing fine now, I am not wronged."
The queen caressed her little face tenderly and said, "Come and see the earrings that your mother asked someone to make for you. Our Yi Yi is a grown-up girl now, so you should dress up as much as possible."
