The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

What Jiang Shijie could not accept the most was that the person he loved was going to get married. Not only was the other person inferior to him in every way, but he was also the son of a criminal. Both father and son were stripped of their official positions. How could such a family be worthy of her, who was noble and favored?

Jiang Shijie was not the only one who was surprised, but also Jiang Shisheng and his wife. In the couple's courtyard, two people sat together on a stone table. Mrs. Jiang, who was two years younger than Jiang Shisheng and born in the same month, was named Li Xuejiao.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at her husband, asking cautiously.

"Husband, do you want to go see my uncle?"

Jiang Shisheng thought about it and turned around: "It's time to take a look, my lady, I'll go take a look first."

After all, he is his brother from the same mother, so he still cares about him a lot.

As soon as he reached his brother's courtyard, he ran into Jiang Shijie who was about to go out.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Where are you going?"

Facing his elder brother's question, Jiang Shijie actually felt a little relieved. "I just went out for a walk to relax."

Jiang Shisheng sighed when he heard this: "You should give up."

The attendant guards looked at their masters and bowed their heads respectfully again. As servants, they dared not intervene in the quarrels between their masters, as that would be beyond their capabilities.

Jiang Shijie was stunned, and then his heart felt like it was stabbed.

Princess and cousin, are they really not destined to be together?

Seeing that he was distracted, Jiang Shisheng put his arm around his brother's shoulders and walked into his yard.

"Talk to my brother for a while."

Jiang Shijie's plan to go out failed.

Shen Jiarou's princess residence welcomed Princess Kangmei. Looking at the girl who was looking directly at her, Shen Jiarou sighed.

"Sister Qingqing, don't look at me like that."

"Confess and you will be treated leniently. Why did the Emperor's uncle suddenly grant you a marriage, and to the son of a guilty minister?" She really didn't understand.

"It's a long story."

"It's okay. I'll listen to you slowly."

After she finished explaining the whole story, Princess Kangmei looked at her as if she were a fool.

"Princess sister, are you okay? Are you stupid? How old are you? Besides, he is not worthy of you." She was so angry that she felt it was not worth it.

"My status and favor are too great, so I have to be more low-key."

Princess Kangmei said speechlessly: "Not low-key enough, eh."

Thinking that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Princess Kangmei sighed helplessly.

"Now that things have come to an end, I can only wish you a happy and loving marriage."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "Thank you, Sister Qingqing."

When Nanny Luo arrived at the princess's residence, Princess Mu Xue had already heard what Shen Jiarou said.

"Royal Aunt, you'd better be careful or you'll regret it later." She was impressed that the Royal Aunt could think of such a weird thing.

After hearing this, Shen Jiarou just smiled and said nothing. She just lowered her head and smiled, "I know my limits."

Princess Mu Xue and Princess Kang Mei looked at each other and sighed. As close friends, they were really worried about her.

Nanny Su asked Elemental Frost to come quickly to report, and Elemental Frost saluted respectfully.

"Princess, Nanny Luo is here."

Shen Jiarou was startled: "Madame Luo?"

Isn't that someone close to the Queen Mother? It seems that the Queen Mother knows about the marriage, so she asked her to come to the palace to explain.

While she was thinking, Nanny Luo had been brought in by Nanny Su.

"Your servant greets the princess, and greets Princess Kangmei, Princess Muxue, and Lord Baixiang."

They both saluted and Shen Jiarou spoke softly.

"Madame Luo, Madame Su, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Princess and all the masters." The four of them nodded slightly, and Nanny Luo looked at Shen Jiarou.

"Princess, I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother to invite you to the palace."

Shen Jiarou bid farewell to Princess Kangmei, Princess Muxue, and Bai Yunsu, and got on a carriage to enter the palace to meet the queen.

Fengyi Palace

The more the queen thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. When she saw the familiar figure, she raised her eyes with a little anger.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother and wishes her the best!"

"Humph, you still know that I am your mother. I only found out about such a big thing as the marriage after the emperor issued the decree. You two are really good at keeping it a secret."

Shen Jiarou sighed: She seemed to have forgotten to remind her mother. She was afraid that the Empress Dowager might have some resentment towards her.

Shen Jiarou had no choice but to sit down next to her mother.

"Mother, I indeed forgot to tell you. Please don't be angry, I know I was wrong."

Hearing her coquettish voice, the queen felt soft-hearted and spoke helplessly.

"You, what can I say about you? What's so good about the Jiang family? Why do you have to let them be your in-laws? If you want to marry a prince consort, I will definitely choose a good man from the capital for you."

Shen Jiarou had no choice but to express her concerns, but she did not mention that she also wanted to save the Jiang family, as she was afraid that her mother would blame the Jiang family.

After hearing this, the Queen fell into deep thought: "Yi Yi, aren't you worrying too much? Your father and the Crown Prince both truly love you."

"Mother, I know they truly love me, but we are all in the area where power is most concentrated, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts in the future. I will nip this possibility in the bud for the sake of everyone."

Under her persuasion, the queen slowly let go of her prejudice and began to try to accept the Jiang family as her in-laws.

"It's a pity for you. Your mother feels sorry for you." Alas, she is such a good daughter. It's a pity for her to get married. I hope she won't regret it.

Seeing her mother relax, Shen Jiarou felt relieved. Fortunately, her mother listened to her, otherwise she would be helpless.

In order to avoid the Empress Dowager having greater resentment in her heart, Shen Jiarou decided to take the initiative to go to Fushou Palace to apologize.

In Fushou Palace, when the empress dowager saw the little girl who came to apologize, she no longer felt angry, but only soft-hearted and distressed.

"No need to be polite, come here, Grandmother Huang will take a good look at you."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, stood up, and sat down beside her.

"Grandmother, thank you for not being angry."

"Who told you I'm not angry? You're too bold this time." After the Queen Mother sighed, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be that you've already had your eyes on that boy from the Jiang family?"

Shen Jiarou hurriedly shook her head when she heard this: "How could that be? He had a fiancée before, and I would never do anything to steal someone else's husband."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt much more relieved.

"I believe you, but why do you favor their family? The difference in family background is too great. What will you do if you regret it in the future?"

"Grandmother, I made this decision after careful consideration. Don't worry."

The Queen Mother asked back, "Are you so sure that you won't regret it?"

Shen Jiarou smiled slightly: "Whether you regret it or not, the emperor has issued an imperial decree, and I have to marry the prince consort."

Faced with her ambiguous answer, the Queen Mother sighed, saying that it was not good for this person to be too opinionated, as she always did earth-shattering things.

When she returned to her palace, the third princess also came to visit. As soon as she entered, she asked why she was suddenly granted marriage. Shen Jiarou had no choice but to explain it again.

"Sister, are you thinking too much?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "I'm just preparing for a rainy day."
