The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

It was getting increasingly cooler in late autumn, and it was also the time for Jiang Shuya and Jiang Shujia to come of age. Thinking that their dates were close, Lady Yong'an Marquis's wife specially sought the opinions of the Second Lady and the two parties involved, and all three agreed to hold it together.

As an important spectator, Shen Jiarou wore a goose yellow dress today, a phoenix hairpin on her head, a goose yellow pearl flower in the middle of her hair, three white pearl hairpins inserted side by side on the left, and orange-yellow jade five-petal flower tassel earrings, which made her round face look longer and more slender.

When she returned to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and saw her two sisters dressed up in their best, she looked at Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang behind them.

"Sister Ya, Sister Jia, this is your coming-of-age gift."

The guests were curious about what the two young ladies' coming-of-age gifts were, and Ruan Qingling gently opened the small nanmu box.

"Ms. Shuya, this is the title deed to twenty acres of top-quality farmland. Please keep it."

Zhen Luosang looked at Jiang Shujia and smiled.

"Ms. Shu Jia, your coming-of-age gift is also twenty acres of land. Please keep the title deed and the land deeds."

After receiving the coming-of-age gifts of equal value, the two of them bowed with joy, thanked them, and then handed them to the maids behind them.

The guests were all amazed at how Princess Yongkang treated everyone equally.

The old lady, the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the second lady all had smiles on their faces. The princess had greeted them a few days ago and said that the harvest from the coming-of-age gifts was quite good every year, and they could earn several dozen taels of silver every month, which was considered a particularly good coming-of-age gift.

Jiang Shuhan, Jiang Shulan and Jiang Shufei, who have not yet reached the age of marriage or are about to reach the age of marriage, are filled with envy. The princess is so good to them.

Shen Jiarou sat down next to her older sister Jiang Shuyuan.

"Princess sister, are you thirsty? Here are some basil water, soap water, and honey water that my aunt had prepared. Which one do you want to drink? Sister Yuan will pour it for you."

"Soap water, thank you Sister Yuan."

"You're welcome, Princess."

Seeing Mo Zhiling dressed exquisitely, Shen Jiarou smiled.

"Xiao Ling'er, come and give Aunt Rou a hug."

Seeing her getting close to her eldest daughter, Jiang Shuyuan was very happy. "This girl has become heavier, Princess sister, please don't hold her for too long."

Shen Jiarou whispered to her, "Sister Yuan, you are joking. Our little Ling'er is round, not heavy."

Mo Zhiling was amused by her giggle, and the Second Lady on the side laughed even more happily when she saw this.

In the men's area, Mo Xiuyan looked at the warm scene opposite him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

After the banquet, Shen Jiarou decided to walk back home, after all, she was tired of sitting.

"Princess, if you are tired, please tell me." Ruan Qingling was a little worried.

Shen Jiarou smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, mainly because I sat for too long today, I need to move around, my bones feel a little soft."

This is not a pleasant feeling.

When I walked to the alley of a mansion, I saw someone I didn't want to see.

"Meet Princess Sister."

"Hello, cousin." Shen Jiarou nodded politely. If she had known she would meet him here, she would have taken a carriage back home.

Hey, I already knew it was worth a thousand dollars.

Jiang Shijie was afraid that she would leave in a hurry, so he wanted to find out what was in her mind.

"Do you hate me, Princess?" Every time I see him, I want to avoid him.

Shen Jiarou frowned slightly: Knowing that I hate you is one thing, but saying it out loud is another.

"Cousin, you're joking. Why would I hate you for no reason? It's just your illusion."

She would not do such an offensive thing casually. After all, the eldest princess's power was much stronger than hers.

Jiang Shijie smiled bitterly: "Really? Maybe I misunderstood."

You won't even admit that you hate me, but the fact is that you really hate me.

Shen Jiarou was afraid that there would be too many people around her and that if someone with ulterior motives heard it, it would be bad for her reputation.

"Cousin, I have something else to do, so I can't reminisce with you. I'll take my leave first." She hoped that he would be more self-aware and stop bothering her.

As she turned around, Jiang Shijie mustered up the courage to speak.

"Princess sister, I can wait until you grow up." It's only five or six years. He can afford to wait.

Jiang Ruofan, his follower Jiang Cha, and bodyguard Jiang Wu appeared in a corner. When they saw the situation ahead, they quickly retracted their hands and feet.

Jiang Cha said, "Master, it seems to be the Second Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Wu whispered, "And Princess Yongkang."

This situation made Jiang Ruofan very passive, and he didn't want to get involved in the royal affairs at all.

Shen Jiarou was furious when she heard his words.

"Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation. Sister Qingling, let's go." You want to wait for me to grow up, but the key is that I don't want you to wait.

Besides, Shen Jiarou felt that she didn't like him either, so she didn't want him to wait for her, lest he say in the future that he was delayed by her, which would be unfair to her.

After walking a hundred meters away, Bao Zhiqing stepped forward and whispered.

"Princess, I saw Lord Jiang."

Shen Jiarou was stunned: "Which Lord Jiang?"

"The one who helped build Arcadia."

When Shen Jiarou heard this, her brows furrowed: Damn it, someone actually heard it.

"Is there anyone else?"

"Except for the entourage and guards around Lord Jiang, there is no one else."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips in thought and sighed deeply for herself. How could she have attracted such a handsome guy? She was only eleven years old.

"Go to him at night, don't let anyone see you, and give him 500 taels of silver as a hush money. Also warn him that if he doesn't want the silver, then you can replace it with a wish, provided it's not something that is against human nature or against the law of nature."

Bao Zhiqing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I understand."

Shen Jiarou walked for dozens of meters when she was suddenly bumped into by someone. Seeing that the person was drunk, she was already in a depressed mood, and now her anger flared up.

"Who are you? You have no eyes. How many lives do you have left to live if you bump into me?" Hearing his words, Shen Jiarou laughed in anger.

"What did you say? You were rude enough to knock me down, and you dare to say that I am blind. Someone, come and catch him. I want to see what kind of family tradition he has to raise such a kid."

Bao Zhiqing glanced at Xu Zhi, then he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the drunk young man with his backhand.

"Which family are you from? Take this princess with you." She looked at the servants around her, only to see him collapse on the ground in fear.

Changbo Mansion

A group of people held Yang Taobo at the gate of the mansion in a threatening manner. Shen Jiarou got off the carriage and, with the support of Ruan Qingling, she walked up the steps and met Lord Chang and his wife who had arrived.

Seeing their only legitimate son collapsed on the ground, the old couple looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lord Chang bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Princess Yongkang. May I ask what crime my son has committed?"

How did this rebellious son offend Princess Yongkang?

Zhen Luosang said quickly: "How did he offend me? Not only was he drunk, but he didn't apologize for knocking my princess over, and he even said that my princess had no eyes. He was so outrageous."

When had her princess ever suffered such a punishment?

Upon hearing this, Lord Chang was horrified.

This is the emperor's most beloved princess. How dare his son do that?
