The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou returned to Fushou Palace and met the third princess and her daughter on the way.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort, Third Sister."

Concubine De smiled gently and said, "Princess Yongkang, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Madam Defei."

"Sister, are you going to visit the Imperial Grandmother?"

"Yes, Madam Defei and Third Sister, do you want to come together?"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and nodded, and the one-person group turned into a three-person group.

Fu Shou Palace

"The Empress Defei has arrived, the Third Princess has arrived, and Princess Yongkang has arrived."

The Queen Mother, who was playing chess with Aunt Zhen, was stunned when she heard this: "The three of them came together."

"Queen, why don't we continue later?"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Shen Jiarou walked side by side with the third princess, while Concubine De walked in front. The three of them respectfully bowed and greeted the empress dowager.

"Your Highness pays respect to the Queen Mother."

The two sisters said in unison: "Greetings, Grandmother. Greetings, Grandmother."

"No need to be polite, please sit down. Is this something you two sisters have discussed?"

Shen Jiarou and the third princess looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, and Shen Jiarou replied softly.

"Replying to the Imperial Grandmother, we just met by chance on the road."

"You played in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time this time. You must have had a lot of fun."

"It was pretty good. Originally, Prince Consort Yi Yi was planning to play for seven or eight days before returning, but Senior Sister and the others all went, so we continued to play for another half a month."

The Queen Mother and the three princesses all looked at her in surprise, and the Queen Mother asked in confusion.

"Mu Xue is there too?"

"She went, along with her fiancé Li Yuqing and Princess Kangmei. This time, Senior Brother stayed for quite a while, and the two babies were there too. It's quite fun to play with other people's children when you have nothing to do."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine De looked at each other and smiled, and the Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing.

"Girl, how come you become more and more playful as you grow older?"

"Grandmother, we went to the fields to plant rice. It was so much fun."

Concubine De was surprised and asked, "Ah, going to the fields to plant rice? Princess Yongkang can do that too?"

"Yes, Luosang and I have gone to the fields to plant rice. We have planted a field."

The third princess was surprised and said, "Great sister, I want to go too."

It was rare for Concubine De to glare at her, and the Third Princess silently shut her mouth, feeling extremely regretful.

Oh, how could she be so heartless and blurt it out? Couldn’t she just say it quietly next time? She is so stupid.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren listened to Shen Jiarou's lively and interesting storytelling with great attention and seriousness.

"Mu Xue ate a lot of snacks, and the two babies also wanted to try them, but the senior sisters and brothers didn't dare to give them any."

The Queen Mother was delighted to hear this: "Interesting, hey, Princess Le'an should be giving birth soon, I remember your sister Bai seemed to be pregnant too."

"My dear grandmother, yes."

Prince An's Mansion

Today, Princess Le'an brought her husband Man Tiancheng back to her parents' home. The handsome and elegant Man Tiancheng was holding his eldest son Man Youchen.

Upon learning that his daughter and son-in-law were going back to her parents' home, Prince An deliberately put the matter aside and waited for the family of three.

The family of three walked into the main hall, and Prince An quickly stood up and took his grandson Man Youchen away from Man Tiancheng's arms.

"Oh, little darling, do you miss your royal grandfather?" He gave the little guy a big kiss on the face, and Princess Le'an and Man Tiancheng smiled at each other.

"Father, how are you these days?"

"I'm fine, how about you guys?"

Princess Le'an glanced at her handsome and noble husband Man Tiancheng, with a happy smile on her face.

"Father, we are all fine."

The Crown Prince's Consort Gao Feili brought her nine-year-old eldest son Ji Mufeng and her seven-year-old second son Ji Muchuan to the main hall.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is here, the eldest young master is here, and the young young master is here."

The Crown Princess bowed respectfully to Prince An and said, "Your daughter-in-law greets your father."

The two children also followed suit and bowed obediently.

"Mu Feng has met the Emperor's grandfather."

"Mu Chuan has met the Emperor's grandfather."

After the ceremony, the two men bowed respectfully to Princess Le'an and Man Tiancheng.

"Meet the Imperial Aunt, Meet the Imperial Uncle."

Princess Le'an and Man Tiancheng stood up and helped the two men up. Princess Le'an gently scratched Ji Muchuan's little face.

"Muchuan is getting more and more handsome."

Ji Mufeng pouted and said, "Auntie, where is Mufeng?"

Seeing that he was jealous, Princess Le'an covered her mouth and laughed.

"You are handsome too. You two brothers have perfectly inherited your eldest brother's strengths."

Prince An snorted coldly, "Humph, if you want to inherit, you should inherit my merits, okay? Can your elder brother really surpass me?"

Princess Le'an and Crown Prince's Consort Gao Feili looked at each other, both pursed their lips helplessly, and Princess Le'an hurriedly stepped forward and acted coquettishly.

"My dear father, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and do not take it too seriously."

Prince An lowered his head proudly and began to tease his own grandson.

Ji Muchuan came to Prince An and said, "My little brother is so young that he can't even play with me."

The Crown Prince's Consort Gao Feili couldn't help laughing at her son's childish talk.

"In two years, your brother will be able to accompany you everywhere."

"Okay." Despite his young age, Ji Muchuan sighed helplessly, making everyone laugh.

Man Tiancheng joked, "If you want to play, go find the grandson of the Grand Tutor. He should be able to crawl around."

Princess Le'an echoed, "Yes, Sister Lianxiang's son should be able to do it. He should be two years old now."

The wife of the Grand Tutor came to Xie Xiangjun's residence with her personal maid Wang Ma, and the carriages were fully loaded.

"I met my mother."

"Lianxiang, please stop being polite and sit down to talk."

Nianhua brought hot tea and poured a cup for each of them.

"Madam, Mr. Xiang, please have some tea."

Madam Wen, the Grand Tutor, took it with a smile: "Thank you, Nianhua."

The wet nurse came over with Fu Zhixuan, and when she saw her little grandson, Madam Taifu happily held him in her arms.

"Xuanxuan, do you miss your grandson?" This little grandson does not live in the Taifu Mansion. Every time she comes, she cherishes the time she spends with her little grandson.

"Grandma Ann."

Upon hearing the greetings from her little grandson, Mrs. Taifu smiled from ear to ear.

"Oh, grandma's Xuanxuan, he is so well-behaved and cute."

Seeing that her mother-in-law liked her son very much, Xie Lianxiang smiled from the inside out.

In a private room at Shiyaxuan Restaurant, Master Fu and his relative Xie Suhang were having dinner and drinking together.

"Come here, relative, I'll toast you a glass." Xie Suhang saw it and quickly raised his glass and clinked it with his.

"You're welcome, in-law."

After drinking a glass of wine, Master Fu felt more energetic.

"Come on, let's continue."

Xie Suhang smiled politely and nodded, then picked up the slippery fried peanuts with chopsticks to taste.

"There aren't many peanuts here, so let your in-laws try some."

Two days before Shen Jiarou was about to leave the palace, she received a letter from Shunpin.

Aunt Zhenhua glanced at Shen Jiarou who was sitting quietly.

"Princess, can you go tomorrow?"

Shen Jiarou put the note down and nodded with a faint smile: "I don't know when I will enter the palace next time, go ahead."

She felt that Shunpin was actually a nice person, cheerful and straightforward, and she was steady and generous in her work. It was a pity that she was trapped in the deep palace and was destined to waste her life.

Shunpin arranged for people to prepare Shen Jiarou's favorite cakes, drinks, and snacks, and even asked musicians to play the piano to add to the fun.

Lian Qiao brought Shen Jiarou to the main hall of Suiyu Pavilion. When Shen Jiarou saw the brightly dressed people, she was deeply amazed.

"Empress Shunpin, you are so beautiful."
