The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his eyes to look at Liu Xu and Ruan Qingling, and finally his gaze stopped on Ruan Qingling.

"Let your princess come to the palace to see me immediately."

Seeing the emperor so calm, Ruan Qingling felt uneasy.

Is it possible that the Emperor is seeking to settle scores with the princess?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." She had just turned around and taken a few steps when she was stopped by Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty.

"Wait, let her go tomorrow morning." Let her have a good sleep tonight so that she will have the strength to reply to him tomorrow.

Ruan Qingling's body stiffened and she turned slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the way out of the palace, Ruan Qingling's heart was not at peace at all.

She kept praying in her heart: God, please bless the princess to be safe this time.

Ruan Qingling walked through the cells and came to Shen Jiarou, where she saw Nanny Su talking to the princess with Elemental Frost.

"Princess."

"I'm back. What did Father say?"

Nanny Su and Element Frost also looked at Ruan Qingling, and she pursed her lips and spoke.

"The emperor said that he would let you enter the palace tomorrow morning. He originally wanted to let you enter tonight, but he suddenly changed his mind." She didn't know why the emperor suddenly changed his mind. Perhaps the princess knew.

Shen Jiarou has probably guessed what her father meant. Tomorrow he will probably ask her why she chose the Jiang family.

"I understand."

Nanny Su looked at her princess and said, "Princess, will the emperor question you this time?"

"maybe."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes to the iron railing and met Jiang Ruofan's gaze. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Jiarou’s best state is when she has a good sleep. Most people cannot affect her sleep and she falls asleep quickly with her eyes closed.

After dawn, Shen Jiarou packed up and went into the palace to wait for Emperor Yuan Shun in the imperial study.

Liu Xu served Shen Jiarou carefully, serving her tea and water.

"Princess, please have some tea!"

Shen Jiarou thanked him politely and gently: "Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

"You're welcome."

Liu Xu sighed in her heart that people are indeed different from each other, and Princess Yongkang's upbringing and character are really excellent.

When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty attended court, his eyes were always vaguely looking towards the Minister of Justice, Lord Jiang, which made him almost hold his breath. He dared not say a word, for fear that he would anger the emperor again in some way.

After the court session, just as Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was about to cross the threshold, a eunuch hurriedly reported in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Princess Yongkang has been waiting for you for half an hour."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty looked inside the hall, nodded slightly, and walked in.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Jiarou calmed down: It seems that my father has returned from court.

When Shen Jiarou raised her eyes, she met the gaze of Emperor Yuan Shun, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He walked towards her with big strides and just glanced at Shen Jiarou indifferently.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Father. May you be well and well."

Yuan Shundi rarely asked her to stand up, but just looked at him silently. Shen Jiarou felt that even though she was a martial artist, standing for a cup of tea was tiring, but she didn't dare to stand up since her father didn't say anything. After all, there was a difference between the emperor and his subjects.

"Get up and sit down!"

Shen Jiarou felt relieved: "Thank you, father, for letting me sit down!"

Seeing how well-behaved and cute she was, Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty felt less angry than before.

"Aren't you going to give Father an explanation?"

Facing her father's questioning, Shen Jiarou slowly raised her eyes and met his handsome and elegant face.

"I want to keep a low profile."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty understood the meaning of her words and sighed helplessly.

"Then you don't have to do it so early. You are only twelve, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, the Jiang family background is too incompatible with yours, and now I am a criminal, how can I be worthy of you who is noble and favored."

Emperor Yuan Shun's heart and eyes were filled with pity for Shen Jiarou, and Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

"Father, I think I have done my best to protect myself. You and my brother the Crown Prince will feel more at ease."

The father and daughter talked a lot, and Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty also persuaded her for a long time. Seeing that she still thought the same, he finally took a step back and nodded in agreement reluctantly.

"I agree, but I have a request."

"Father, please speak."

"Although they will become royal relatives in the future, due to their crimes, except for the son-in-law, who will receive a salary, all the private property of the others will be confiscated, and Lord Jiang will still deprive them of their official positions and demote them to commoners. Because they are the sons of criminals, the official position that the son-in-law had before must also be revoked."

"Your son understands." As an emperor, if a subject makes a mistake, it is impossible for your father not to punish him at all, otherwise it would be difficult to calm down his anger.

"It's good that you understand. This is your choice. I hope you won't regret it."

Shen Jiarou did not respond, but just pursed her lips slightly.

"You can provide them with a place to live in the future, but you can't give them money." She couldn't give it, but the prince consort could.

"Father, is there anything wrong with the food?"

"Let them find ways to feed and clothe themselves. Your people are not allowed to help them with cooking, washing, etc. After all, they are criminal subjects. I will not be able to bear it if they live too well."

"Father, holidays won't affect anything. As a granddaughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and elder sister-in-law, I can't just not show any appreciation at all." She still tried her best to get some treatment for their family.

"You can do whatever you want." Looking at her somewhat arrogant father, Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled. It turned out that her father, a grown man, could also have such an expression. It was quite cute.

"What are you laughing at there alone?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned and quickly shook her head slightly.

"Nothing, Father, can I leave the palace now?"

"Why, you still want to live in jail?"

"Well, what else? After all, the matter of the Minister of Justice has not been resolved yet." You haven't given me a satisfactory answer yet, so of course she has to continue to stay in jail.

"The matter of the son of Minister Jiang is indeed serious. You have suffered a lot of injustice and it has embarrassed the royal family. It is not too much to execute the whole family according to the crime."

Li Jiang stood aside and listened silently, only looking at his two masters, Emperor Yuan Shun and Shen Jiarou, from time to time.

"Father, are you reluctant?"

"After all, the Minister of Justice has been in office for decades. Not only will the entire body be affected by one move, but it would be a bit too much to execute all nine generations of his family for this." After hearing this, Shen Jiarou still had everything she didn't understand. As an emperor, her father naturally considered things more comprehensively.

"So what is Father going to do?"

"What do you think? I heard that the Minister of Justice followed Bao Zhiqing and Jiang Ruofan to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the Tang Mansion."

"Your Majesty, you are well-informed. What do you want to say? Let me listen first." She couldn't agree immediately. After all, buying something requires bargaining.

"My intention is to have them come to your house in person to apologize and double your compensation for your losses. The culprit who caused the trouble is Jiang Shiqing. Why not let him stay with you for two years and let you arrange things for him to do as you please to atone for his sins? Of course, as a father, the Minister of Justice is also wrong for not educating his son properly. I will fine him two years' salary. What do you think?"

Shen Jiarou pretended to think for a moment, then said unwillingly, "Okay, I will listen to you, father."

You are my father, so I will give you face.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan Shun smiled gently and raised his hand to touch her head affectionately.
