The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou realized it later and was surprised to find that the voice was too familiar to hers. She turned around in confusion.

"Queen mother?"

She stood up in surprise and quickly bowed politely: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Mother."

Why is the Queen Mother here?

"No need to be polite." Nanny Luo helped the queen sit down on the main seat, and Shen Jiarou followed her gaze.

"What were you thinking just now? You looked so distressed."

After hearing her explanation, the queen smiled.

"Yi Yi is so powerful, I believe there must be a way. Why don't you tell me about it for me, mother?"

Shen Jiarou thought about it carefully. Her mother was also an expert in fighting in the harem, and maybe she could give her some inspiration and suggestions.

Bai Yuechu and Nanny Luo also looked at her, wanting to know what solution the princess had come up with.

“Hold a competition.”

The queen frowned and looked up: "Competition? But I was not the one competing yesterday."

Everyone was also full of doubts.

"Hey, I'm afraid this matter can only be resolved through competition."

The Queen raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"It's like a talent contest like the usual palace banquets. But Daigula is good at singing and dancing, but not at poetry. If we add poetry, it would be unfair to them. Although they have been shameless before, we are a big country after all. We must have the demeanor and pattern of a big country and must not do this."

The queen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, so what?"

"I've thought about it and decided to let our two countries each come up with ten questions to complete. Whoever wins will get the princess in marriage."

The queen pursed her lips and said, "What if we lose?"

Doesn't that mean the princess will be married off?

Shen Jiarou smiled mysteriously and said, "We can divide the competition into two days, five games a day. And we'd better try to win the first day's game to dampen their enthusiasm from the heart."

The queen was shocked: Is her daughter so powerful? She can even use psychological tactics to fight against others.

"That's a good idea. Have you thought about what skills you will compete in the first five matches?"

"It's nothing more than horseback riding and archery competitions, but it's quite physically demanding."

The Queen pondered for a moment and said, "Your idea is not bad. Have you thought of other contents of the competition?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and thought: "It's also OK to play Cuju, and the king and his subjects can enjoy it together."

"What a great occasion for the emperor and his subjects to enjoy themselves together, hahahaha."

Hearing the voice of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, everyone hurriedly saluted.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"My son, I will meet my father."

Emperor Yuan Shun helped the empress up, then bent down and helped Shen Jiarou up.

"Father knows you have a way."

Shen Jiarou pouted: "Humph, Father, you really love your son."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty touched his nose in embarrassment. Seeing the emperor being humiliated, the empress couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the Queen laugh, Emperor Yuan Shun felt even more embarrassed and quickly laughed it off.

"Father trusts you. This is a painstaking effort on your part."

Shen Jiarou complained again: "Thank you, son."

The Queen tried to hold back her laughter again, and Emperor Yuan Shun reached out and ravaged Shen Jiarou's little face.

"Ah, my face hurts. Father, you are going too far."

Looking at the childish and immature Emperor Shun of Yuan, the Queen was extremely surprised. Was this still the Emperor she knew?

Shen Jiarou's little face turned slightly red from being rubbed, and Emperor Yuan Shun let go when he got tired of rubbing.

"Haha, if I don't knead and massage her, she will become less and less suitable as she grows older." Alas, in another five or six years, the little girl will have to get married. I feel a little reluctant to let her go just thinking about it.

"Oh, let's get back to the point. I think your method is good, but let's do it for three days. Three games on the first and second days, and four games on the third day. How about that?"

Faced with his question, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and finally looked at him together.

"Your Majesty decides."

"Listen to Father."

The three of them talked about some more details, and finally the couple had dinner together in Fanghua Palace.

"Come on, you've worked hard to come up with all these ideas. Have some ribs."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Jiang and Liu Xu looked at this scene and smiled at each other. The warmth of the family of three in front of them was so attractive that they couldn't take their eyes off.

"Come here, mother, try this stir-fried beans. It's quite tasty."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty felt jealous when he saw that only the empress had it.

"What about Father's?"

Looking at the jealous Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, the Queen felt a little embarrassed.

Emperor Yuan Shun left Fanghua Palace first, and the empress chatted with her daughter for a while.

"Mother, will you blame me for coming up with this idea?"

The queen patted her head lovingly and said, "Why should I blame you? You were forced into this situation. You should blame the ministers for dragging you into this mess."

Shen Jiarou thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your understanding, mother. If they lose the princess who is married to the emperor, don't be afraid. Mother is the Empress of the Central Palace and the mother of a country. The princess who is married to the emperor can't make any trouble."

The queen nodded lovingly: "Mother understands, you should wash up and go to bed early."

Shen Jiarou nodded obediently: "Okay, mother."

"No need to see mother off. It's cold outside. It would be bad if you get cold. Go back quickly."

Shen Jiarou bowed obediently and said, "Your son respectfully sends you off, mother."

The next day, the envoys from Daigula were stunned when they heard what Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty said.

"The competition will be decided?" Prince Daigula asked.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty smiled faintly and said, "Yes, this is fair and just to both countries. What do you think, Your Highness the Prince and the envoys?"

Humph, you just want to marry the princess to our Dalin to seek peace, and you also want our princess. We can't bear to give away such a large dowry to Daigula for nothing. You are totally overthinking it if you use our dowry to recuperate.

Under heavy pressure, Prince Daigula had to agree.

The competition was scheduled to start two days later, and Shen Jiarou left the palace and returned home in the morning.

Yang Taobo was still reading and writing seriously. When he heard the servants say that the princess had returned, he quickly put down his book and ran out to greet her.

"Princess, you're back. What are we going to eat for lunch today?" He loved the hot pot and barbecue at the princess's mansion.

Seeing him so excited, Shen Jiarou suddenly smiled.

"You are so greedy. This book says that it is not good to indulge in lust after you are full. Young man, be moderate."

Zhen Luosang couldn't help laughing out loud: "Puchi...ah, then, Princess, please continue."

Why does she find that her princess becomes funnier as she grows up? I don’t know if it’s her illusion.

The barbecue soup for lunch made Yang Taobo and his two servants very greedy.

The three of them looked at Shen Jiarou expectantly, hoping that she would start eating soon.

"Look at you, it's like you haven't eaten it before." Shameful.

Yang Taobo chuckled: "Princess, it doesn't matter. I can do anything to eat."

"Really? How about adding twenty more poems to memorize and write?"

Liu Hai asked: "Princess, how long is the deadline?"

Shen Jiarou playfully stretched out a finger. The three of them were stunned. Li Ning spoke tentatively.

"A month?"

Shen Jiarou was speechless. They had left the house a month ago. "One day."

You're overthinking it. I'll give you one more month.

Li Ning smiled uncomfortably: "Princess, isn't one day too rushed?"

He thought it would take at least five days, but due to her status as a princess, he did not dare to ask for it.

Everyone ate with different thoughts in their minds. Lying on the soft bed, Shen Jiarou closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
