The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The Queen Mother took a sip and found the taste very suitable for her.

"Yes, the prince consort is thoughtful."

After living in the princess's mansion for a while, the couple, at the queen's request, took their two children to live in the palace for a few days.

Inside Fengyi Palace, the lotus flowers in the pots in the courtyard are in full bloom.

"I heard that the princess and her husband will be returning to their fiefdom in two months. The child is still young, so maybe it's not appropriate."

Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan looked at each other, and Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and explained.

"Mother, the climate in the fiefdom is better. We plan to stay there for a few months. The winter in the capital is still too cold."

The Queen sighed, "Alright, since you have made your decision, I will not say much. You should let me know when you are leaving Beijing. I asked Yuechu to prepare some things as a token of my gratitude as the Empress Dowager."

"Yes, I understand. I will let you know when the time comes."

In the palace of Concubine Ya in the Eastern Palace, the palace maids were helping Concubine Ya take a bath, change her clothes and put on her makeup, while her personal maid Yuying was preparing dinner seriously.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Concubine Ya, who was sitting at the dining table waiting, showed surprise on her face and quickly stood up to greet the emperor.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite, my dear concubine." After saying this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked straight to the dining table and sat down.

Concubine Ya hurriedly stood up and sat opposite him, reaching out to pour him some osmanthus wine.

"Your Highness, please try this osmanthus wine."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took it calmly and drank it down. Seeing the other party looking at him gently and shyly, he felt uncomfortable.

"Let's have a meal."

The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed overnight soon spread throughout the East Palace. When Mu Simin heard about it at first, she felt a little sad.

"Nanqi, do you think Concubine Ya will be pregnant with the Crown Prince's child?"

Nan Qi sighed: "All these women can give birth to children, but..."

She didn't know whether she should say the following words or not. Her Crown Princess was kind-hearted and would never do anything to harm others, so what would it matter even if she said it.

Seeing her sudden silence, Mu Simin closed his eyes in pain.

"Forget it, let everything go with fate."

After all, so many years have passed, and she has not been able to give birth to a child for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If she does not allow other concubines to become pregnant and have children, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will really have no heirs. This is a sin that she cannot commit.

Seeing her own Crown Princess sad, Nan Qi sighed helplessly.

Sometimes it's not good for a person to be too kind.

Although Shen Jiarou did not take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the Eastern Palace, she knew everything she should and should not know. She could only sigh in her heart for her brother the Crown Prince and her sister-in-law the Crown Princess, and there was nothing else she could do.

Jiang Ruofan was reading a book when he suddenly saw Shen Jiarou silent and distracted. For a moment he thought of the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

"Princess, are you worried about the affairs of the East Palace?"

Shen Jiarou sighed.

"Yeah, is this child's fate really destined by heaven?"

She had been married to her husband for many years. She had not gotten pregnant at first because she was young. But later on, she consummated the marriage and gave birth to a child. Now the child is already one month old.

So many years have passed, and the Crown Prince still has no children. I don’t know how sad he feels.

Jiang Ruofan saw that her brows were slightly wrinkled, so he reached out and held her soft, slender hand.

"Princess, don't worry too much, just let nature take its course."

Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded, and the two of them took their child to bask in the sun in the courtyard of Fanghua Palace.

In the sunshine, the two children are white, plump and tender, like a big sweet steamed bun, making people want to take a bite.

The Thirteenth Prince brought Nanny Wang and others to Fanghua Palace. Seeing the people in the courtyard, the Thirteenth Prince strode over with big strides.

"Your humble servant greets the Fourth Sister and the Fourth Brother-in-law."

Seeing the Thirteenth Prince, Jiang Ruofan smiled gently.

"Hello, Thirteenth Brother."

"Thirteenth brother, are you thinking about the Fourth Sister or the two babies?"

The Thirteenth Prince patted his head in a rare and honest manner: "I want to, too."

Seeing his honest and cute little appearance, Shen Jiarou laughed happily.

"Come, hug your little niece."

The Thirteenth Prince held Jiang Ziyi carefully. He felt a little nervous and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

"Xiao Ziyi, I'm your uncle."

"You are the Thirteenth Uncle."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into Fanghua Palace.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, please stand up, sister."

"Thank you, Prince."

Seeing the child in the Thirteenth Prince's arms, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reached out and took it.

"Hugger."

This child looks like a younger sister, but unfortunately he still has no son or daughter. Is it because he is not good enough?

Seeing his gentle eyes, Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan looked at each other silently, and they both lowered their heads tacitly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held Jiang Ziyi for a while, then returned the child to Shen Jiarou and went to hug Jiang Ziwen.

"Little Ziwen and Little Ziyi have been eating well recently. Their little faces are round and very cute."

Two months later, Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan were preparing to board the carriage with their children to leave Beijing, and the Thirteenth Prince hurried over.

"Fourth sister, wait for me."

"Thirteenth brother, why are you here?"

"Fourth sister, I want to go with you."

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Shen Jiarou pursed her lips.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the fiefdom with us? Have you told father?"

The Thirteenth Prince took out a note and handed it to Shen Jiarou, who took it suspiciously.

Seeing the content of the post, Shen Jiarou was shocked.

"How did you get father's consent?" When did this kid become so powerful.

"Fourth sister, please get in the carriage first. I will tell you later."

Jiang Ruofan helped her up. Due to the sudden joining of the Thirteenth Prince, except for Zheng Shutong's close protection, everyone else went to He Ma's carriage at the back.

The Thirteenth Prince excitedly lifted the curtain: Great, he will be leaving the capital soon.

"Uh-huh, you haven't said anything yet."

The Thirteenth Prince's heart skipped a beat and he turned around, pretending to be calm and explaining.

"Fourth sister, I told my father that I wanted to go out and travel, to see the customs and practices of Dalin, and to broaden my horizons."

Shen Jiarou asked suspiciously, "Did the emperor agree to this?"

The Thirteenth Prince nodded slightly, and Shen Jiarou sighed.

"Okay, don't cause me any trouble along the way."

The Thirteenth Prince, who had a strong desire to survive, smiled and promised: "I promise, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Zheng Shutong sighed helplessly: It turns out that no matter how old a man is, he has a heart that wants to travel far and wide.

As the carriage passed the city gate, the Thirteenth Prince was very excited, but he did not show it on his face.

Shen Jiarou snorted coldly: You little brat, you are quite calm. I underestimated you.

When they were about to pass by Yunzhou, the Thirteenth Prince suddenly asked?

"Fourth sister, shall we go see the elder sisters?"

Shen Jiarou asked back: "Do you want to go?"

"think."

His elder sister had been good to him since he was a child, but he was too young and his elder sister got married and moved out of the capital, so they gradually had less contact. However, they contacted each other more often because of his fourth sister.
