The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Mrs. Bai was surprised by the dowry of 10,100 taels. Then she looked at the betrothal gifts worth several thousand taels brought by the Yuan family and felt that they were not enough after comparison.

Ten thousand and one hundred means being wholeheartedly devoted and staying together till old age, which is a very good meaning. At this moment, she saw full sincerity and attitude.

Bai Yunsu was greatly shocked: she didn't expect the other party to value and respect her so much.

Bai Qiuci looked at his hometown master with surprise.

Madam Yuan and Young Master Yuan were not in a very good mood, but the other party was the princess's man, and it was the princess who came in person to propose marriage, so they did not dare to offend him.

After looking at the betrothal gifts, Shen Jiarou looked at Mrs. Bai with a smile.

"Ma'am, rest assured. The chef is a principled and responsible person. I believe he will be a qualified husband."

After listening to his princess' words, Bao Zhiqing spoke respectfully.

"Madam, if I marry Lord Bai Xiang and have children in the future, one of the children can be given the surname Bai to continue the Bai family's bloodline."

General Bai just came back and heard these words, which deeply touched his heart. It is probably difficult for any man to accept this.

"Bao boy, are you serious?" He just saw his daughter peeking in the corner.

Bao Zhiqing bowed respectfully to General Bai and said, "Greetings, General Bai. Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can sign a deed and have it registered with the government."

Madam Yuan and her son looked very unhappy. The princess's guards were too reckless.

General Bai and Mrs. Bai did not expect the other party to say this, and for a moment they did not know what to say.

After he finished speaking, Shen Jiarou looked at Mrs. Bai with a smile and took her arm affectionately.

"Ma'am, the master chef expressed his words and position, and I will also express my thoughts."

Mrs. Bai didn't understand what Princess Yongkang wanted to say, so she had to listen carefully.

"Our princess's mansion is quite big. If you don't mind, we can give them a separate courtyard to live in. Sister Bai can come back to visit the two elders often in the future. When General Bai and the chef have time, they can also learn from each other. As for me, it will be more convenient for me to come and eat at their house in the future."

Mrs. Bai was amused by her words: "Princess, you are joking. Even if there is no such thing, it is a blessing for our family to have you come. Please feel free to come. We are all very happy."

"Speaking of Sister Bai, why don't you let her come and listen? After all, she is one of the parties involved in this matter, and she must be clear about it. Do General Bai and his wife think this is feasible?"

Her words and expressions were all about asking what they thought, giving them enough respect and face.

"She's here." General Bai suddenly said something that stunned everyone.

When Bai Yunsu heard what her father said, she knew that it was time for her to show up.

"Father, mother, and Princess Sister." She bowed respectfully, and when she saw Madam Yuan and Young Master Yuan standing beside her, she also bowed according to etiquette.

"Princess sister, mother, I heard everything you just said."

Mrs. Bai looked at her husband, and General Bai nodded slightly at her, meaning that he had already seen it, so he said that just now.

Mrs. Bai understood and looked at her daughter tenderly and asked, "Yun'er, what do you think?"

The princess's guards were of lower social status, but what they said moved them. However, their daughter's wishes were more important. After all, she was the one with whom he would spend his whole life.

"Daughter..." She looked at Bao Zhiqing, who had a tall and straight figure, and then looked away after just a glance.

"My daughter is willing."

Hearing her agreement, the couple felt a mixture of conflicting emotions of relief and reluctance.

Madam Yuan was a little anxious: "Madam Bai, but we were the first to propose to your family."

Mrs. Bai's face darkened when she heard this: "Mrs. Yuan, you are so angry that I am telling you the truth. Just because your family offers a betrothal gift, our family must agree? Besides, don't you know how inappropriate it is for you to offer a betrothal gift right after you arrive? If you are not satisfied, and you agree to what this young man just said, we can reconsider it."

Madam Yuan's eyes turned red with anger: "You are going too far."

It's really a case of stealing a chicken but losing the rice.

Shen Jiarou said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam Yuan. There are many unmarried girls in the capital. With Young Master Yuan's looks, fate will come naturally."

Humph, you're so pissed off, what a jerk, you dare to covet her sister Bai, you're like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Like her sister Bai and the master chef, it's like a beauty and a hero, they are a perfect match no matter how you look at them.

Mrs. Yuan was furious and said goodbye with an unhappy look on her face.

"We are sorry to bother you today. Goodbye."

When they had walked for a distance, Shen Jiarou spoke softly.

"This princess does not want to hear any remarks that are unfavorable to the Bai family or anyone in the Princess's Mansion. If anyone is found guilty, they will be severely punished."

Mrs. Yuan's face changed. She knew very well that this was Princess Yongkang's warning to her not to talk nonsense.

After they left, Shen Jiarou sat down at the bottom.

"General Bai, Madam, it's a done deal. Please pick an auspicious day for them to get married." Since ancient times, there have been many rules for men and women to get married. It's very particular, and today is indeed a bit presumptuous.

General Bai and Madam Bai, who were sitting in the main seat, looked at each other, and finally looked at Shen Jiarou and Bao Zhiqing.

"Are what you said before all true?" General Bai was very concerned about this topic and asked again.

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and glanced at Bao Zhiqing, who pursed his lips and spoke.

"General Bai, everything I said is true. After we get married, I will hand over all my property to Bai Xiangjun to manage, and I will also receive two salaries every month." As a royal guard, he had a court salary, but the princess gave them another one, which meant they received double salary.

After hearing his words, the couple were even more delighted and immediately agreed.

"Well, I'll come back to discuss it with you two when the day is right. Sister Bai will marry into the princess's mansion from the Congbai family in the future. This way, we two sisters can see each other every day." Among the crowd, Bai Yunsu was the most happy.

Now that the big issue was resolved, Shen Jiarou decided to go to Prince Rong's Mansion to see Mu Xue and tell her the good news.

Prince Rong's Mansion

Princess Rong was handling palace affairs in the accounting office in the front yard. When she heard the report, she was visibly stunned.

"Please come in!" The girl had never seen it, and she still missed it a little.

Her voice arrived before her, and her tone was cheerful.

"The Queen's Wife."

"My little princess is here." Princess Rong stepped forward to greet her. Shen Jiarou bowed to her and said, "Greetings, my dear sister-in-law."

"Please get up quickly. Why are you here today?"

"I haven't visited you for a while, so I came to get acquainted with you guys."

Passing by the courtyard, she saw Ji Muyan, who was already sixteen years old, picking yellow plums in the courtyard.

Xin Mo saw this and quickly reminded her young lady: "Miss, the princess and Princess Yongkang are here."

Ji Muyan was stunned, and quickly put down the scissors and turned around to salute.

"Greetings to mother, and to fourth aunt."

Princess Rong said softly, "No need to be polite. Take care of yourself this weather and don't stay outside for too long."

Ji Muyan responded respectfully: "Yes, mother."
