The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou sighed and reached out to push her.

"Mu Xue, get up quickly. You're going to crush me into a meat patty." The girl was still sleeping soundly. Mu Xue woke up slowly, feeling dazed.

"Awake? Then get up," she was crushed.

Princess Mu Xue was startled: "Ah, I'm sorry, Aunt Royal."

Chunxiang and Xiaxiang were both embarrassed. They thought their princess was too...ah.

Ruan Qingling hurriedly helped her princess up, and Shen Jiarou felt half of her body was numb.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

“I feel like my whole body is numb.”

Ruan Qingling hurriedly helped her massage her shoulders and arms: "Princess, is the pressure appropriate? Are you feeling better?"

"The strength is just right, it's much more comfortable."

Princess Mu Xue lowered her head, fearing that her royal aunt would be angry and stop playing with her.

Aunt Zhenhua came over to remind her, "Princess, lunch time is almost here, it's time to go to the palace banquet."

Everyone set off for the palace banquet. Shen Jiarou and Nianhua carefully supported Xie Lianxiang. As soon as they entered the venue, they attracted everyone's attention. Xie Lianxiang was envied by many ladies and some were jealous, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Sister, please sit down slowly."

Xie Lianxiang smiled at her gently. After she sat down, Shen Jiarou returned to her main seat and started chatting and even whispering with the Third Princess and others.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"

Everyone in Dalin knelt and bowed: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Daigula performed their etiquette, and Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his hand slightly and spoke.

"Flat body."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

The banquet officially began, and the opening plum blossom dance was the first to appear. The dancers wore red plum-colored dresses and began to dance with a red plum in their hands. Their long flowing hair swayed with the dance, and a red headband behind their hair also danced along with the dance.

The matter was completely resolved. The second princess and the third princess had genuine smiles on their faces. They admired the dance and whispered to each other.

As they spun around one by one, plum blossom petals fell from the sky, making people want to stay there for so long.

"It's so beautiful." Princess Mu Xue couldn't help but exclaim, and everyone stared at her.

Shen Jiarou and the third princess smiled at each other: "It is very beautiful."

They both spoke at the same time, saying the same thing. They were both stunned for a moment, then raised their hands to cover their mouths with their wide sleeves.

What the beauty loved most was her smile when she lowered her head, which attracted the attention of many unmarried adults and young masters from wealthy families.

When Jiang Shijie saw Shen Jiarou smile, a faint smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

My princess cousin looks so beautiful when she smiles, as bright and beautiful as a sunflower.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses as well when they saw it.

"Come, let's drink this cup to wish our two countries long-lasting peace."

The men all drank it in one gulp, except for the concubines, princesses, princesses, ladies and young ladies who took a sip.

After lunch, Princess Kangmei, Princess Muxue, and Xie Lianxiang all left the palace with their families. Only Shen Jiarou and her maids were left in the spacious Fanghua Palace.

Early winter is here, snowflakes are falling outside the window, and the weather is getting colder.

Shen Jiarou slept until dawn and woke up to find it chilly.

It won’t rain, will it?

Ruan Qingling and others began to help her wash, change clothes and put on makeup. The eleven-year-old Shen Jiarou was delicate and beautiful in a pink dress. With that bright smile, she looked gentle, bright and pretty.

Fu Shou Palace

"Princess Yongkang has arrived!"

The Queen Mother looked up and saw a young girl with pink plum blossoms in her hair walking towards her gracefully. Her eyes were full of doting.

"Yiyi girl is here."

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother one by one!"

"Don't be polite, come here." The Queen Mother waved at her, and Shen Jiarou stood up and walked towards her.

"Hey, are those plum blossoms in your hair real?"

Aunt Zhen and Nanny Gui also looked over and found that there was a faint scent of plum blossoms in the air.

"Exactly."

The Queen Mother laughed: "Why did you think of wearing real flowers?"

Shen Jiarou looked at Zhen Luosang and smiled: "Sister Luosang picked it and brought it back just when we were dressing up. I just thought about it and it turned out like this now."

The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled: "Interesting, Luosang, how are the plum blossoms in the plum garden blooming?"

Zhen Luosang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the early batch of flowers have gradually bloomed."

Shen Jiarou looked at the kind Queen Mother and took her arm.

"Grandmother, do you think it looks good?"

"It's beautiful, but the person is more beautiful than the flower."

Shen Jiarou lowered her head shyly and said angrily: "Oh, you are teasing me again."

"Haha, I see your face has become rounder now."

Shen Jiarou covered her cheeks shyly.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat."

"You're right. I haven't seen you leave the palace these past two days. I heard there's a prince in the mansion. Don't you care about him?"

"There's someone watching him, so he doesn't have to be watched personally. He's already been assigned tasks before he left."

The Queen Mother was stunned: "Oh, you are accepting a student in disguise."

"The punishment went astray."

Aunt Zhen and Aunt Gui couldn't stop laughing.

Aunt Gui covered her mouth and smiled, "The princess is so cute."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but pinch her cheeks and scratch her little nose, having a lot of fun.

"Little girl, it's the most fun when you are a child. When you grow up, I won't be able to be so rude to you by pinching your cheeks or scratching your nose." I think she must feel a little sad.

"It's okay. There are still a few years left. It's still early."

"Alas, time flies by so quickly. It has been more than 40 years since I was like you."

With Shen Jiarou by her side, the Queen Mother was smiling all day long, and even the Fushou Palace was filled with a lively and festive atmosphere.

"Play a game of chess with the Imperial Grandmother?"

"Okay, Grandmother, what color chess piece do you choose?"

"Of course I want black, and white suits you." Shen Jiarou didn't think much about this and began to play chess with the Queen Mother seriously.

After dealing with the memorials, Emperor Shun of Yuan rubbed his swollen temples and forehead.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling uncomfortable? How about I give you a massage?"

Emperor Yuan Shun waved his hand and said, "No need, I have already relieved a lot. To be honest, Yi Yi's massage is the most effective, and the acupuncture points are also accurate. By the way, what did she do today?"

Li Jiang replied respectfully: "I heard that the princess went to Fushou Palace and has been there since this morning."

"Hmm? She stayed so long today? She is really thoughtful." She is even more filial and considerate than his princes and princesses.

The grandfather and grandson were playing chess with great enthusiasm. Shen Jiarou took the white piece and dropped it on the chessboard. The empress dowager smiled when she saw it.

"Oh, I won this round." This girl is really meticulous in her work. I hope that she can find a very suitable prince consort and in-laws in the future, so that this pampered little girl will not be bullied.

"Grandmother is an excellent chess player. I always learn a lot from playing with you."

Hearing her nice words, the Queen Mother smiled with great pleasure.

"You girl, you are always good at coaxing me." How could she bear to let such a good girl get married.

It was still snowing, and snow was beginning to accumulate on the glazed tiles on the palace roof.
