The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The couple worked together to solve her problems, and the eldest princess left proudly. At this moment, Shen Jiarou felt that she was a little sad and even pitiful.

For more than ten years, he targeted her for no reason, but in the end he lost. How can one describe this?

"Princess, don't think too much. Let's pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and nodded. The two of them came to the main hall one after the other. The empress dowager smiled when she saw them.

"Did you meet the princess?"

The couple nodded in unison, and the Queen Mother smiled calmly.

"After so many years, she is still the same. Yi Yi has seen through a lot and has made great progress."

Shen Jiarou walked forward and sat down, holding the Queen Mother's arm and said, "Grandmother, you and my mother taught me everything, so I'm naturally telling you and my mother."

The Queen Mother reached out and scratched her nose, her tone doting.

"You are still the well-behaved, cute and sensible little girl in my memory. However, everything in this world has its meaning. Sometimes you should not be too hard on yourself."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "You should trust your own judgment."

The Queen Mother laughed happily when she heard this: "You are praising yourself while praising me."

Jiang Ruofan, who was still standing, smiled gently. After so many years, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was still so close. His wife always had magic that made people unconsciously attracted to her.

The Queen Mother held Shen Jiarou's hand tightly and patted her gently: "The little girl has become more and more beautiful as she grows older. Now she is married and has children. Time is really unforgiving. I am too old to be old anymore."

"Nonsense, in my heart you are still the same as you were back then, as graceful, elegant, and dignified as the Queen Mother in heaven."

The Queen Mother was almost flattered by the praise: "You are a good talker, girl. You don't know that I have been to your palace many times since you left for more than a year. Looking at the familiar palace and the familiar furnishings, it seemed as if you were still in the palace. It was only when I left the palace and the swing in the courtyard was empty that I realized you were still in the fiefdom. Now you are all back."

However, they would have to leave again in a few months. Sometimes the empress dowager lamented that fate was playing tricks on them. It had only been a short time since her little girl came back, and the two of them had to be separated again.

At this time, the Queen Mother even felt a little resentful in her heart that she had to return to Meng State. She could have chosen any other time, but had to write to her at this moment, which really let down the affection between the two of them, the grandfather and the granddaughter.

Shen Jiarou did not take the eldest princess' words to heart and brought her husband Jiang Ruofan to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to the queen.

In the courtyard, the mother and daughter were admiring the lotus flowers. The queen's eyes were full of sorrow, and Shen Jiarou also knew what was worrying her.

"Yi Yi, when your mother heard that you were pregnant with your second child, she was very happy for you. If your prince brother's concubines were supportive, your mother would now be able to enjoy the happiness of having a child." She would not be ridiculed by the concubines in the harem and would not become the topic of conversation among the ladies of the noble families.

She really got tired of seeing those useless, egg-unlaying hens in the East Palace.

"Mother, you can't rush your child's fate. If you rush, it will backfire."

"Your mother knows what you are talking about, but she is indeed anxious. Your brother, the crown prince, is a man and heir to the throne, so this makes him lose face."

The Queen has looked much more haggard over the years, and Shen Jiarou is anxious seeing this, but she really can't do anything about the child.

The mother and daughter stood in the middle of the pole, surrounded by gorgeous lotus flowers in full bloom.

"Yi Yi, help mother again."

Shen Jiarou was in a dilemma: "This... It's not that I don't want to, but how can I help you with the matter of having a child?"

She couldn't possibly make those women in the Eastern Palace pregnant. No matter how skilled she was as a doctor, she didn't have the ability to do so.

"Let me treat your prince brother again."

"That's no problem, but is it in the Queen Mother's Palace?"

"Forget about it today. The Japanese palace will ask the prince to come to your house in a few days. You can take a good look at him then."

Shen Jiarou sighed and nodded: "Yes, mother, I will take the pulse of the prince carefully."

The problem of infertility cannot actually be blamed on women. There is nothing wrong with the prince's body, so why hasn't he had children yet? Is it really that the one he is with is not a good match for other women?

But that shouldn't be the case. There are at least a dozen concubines in the Eastern Palace now. It's impossible that all of them are not good enough. Otherwise, she could tell the fortune for the crown prince. In her spare time over the years, she has read books like the I Ching to some extent. She can also read palmistry and other things.

With Shen Jiarou's comfort, the Queen felt much better and even invited the two to have lunch together.

"Come, Yi Yi, this is your favorite Wensi tofu, try it." Wensi tofu originated in Yangzhou. It is finely cut and is soft, tender and mellow, melting in your mouth.

Shen Jiarou really liked this dish. After having a quiet meal with the Queen, the Queen went to take a nap. The couple also left Fengyi Palace and strolled in the corridors of the palace.

There was a hint of sadness on the bright and pretty face of Shen Jiarou, who was worried about something.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Did her mother say something to her?

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly at him: The affairs of the Crown Prince should not be made public, the fewer people who know about it the better, even if this person is her husband with whom she has slept for many years.

After all, he is her royal brother and the crown prince of the Yuan Dynasty. He also needs face, and the royal family also needs face.

Back at Fanghua Palace, everyone took Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Ziwen to swing in the yard. The two children's laughter was joyful and pleasant, as clear as spring water.

Shen Jiarou leaned against the door, looking at the warm scene in the yard, and she couldn't help but smile with joy.

Jiang Ruofan brought Mo Wen and Su Ningde out with easels. Shen Jiarou heard the noise and turned around, then was stunned when she saw the tools in their hands.

"This is?"

Jiang Ruofan smiled gently and said, "Let's prepare to paint in the yard. Princess, come along too."

When Suningde heard the assist, he said, "Yes, Princess, you can try it with your husband."

The couple painted together for the children playing under the shade of the trees. Both of their painting styles were relatively graceful and gentle, but Shen Jiarou had another style that was grand and full of vigor.

During the time she was away, an old friend who was promoted to Shunfei came to Fanghua Palace. Shen Jiarou smiled gently when she saw the old friend's appearance.

"Greetings to Concubine Shun!"

Aunt Zhenhua quickly reminded him when she heard this: "Princess, your Highness is now your Highness Consort Shun."

Shen Jiarou was shocked: "It's Yongkang's fault, I hope the queen will forgive me."

Concubine Shun smiled gently and brightly: "Ignorance is not a crime, and it was also because I saw that you were all in the courtyard that I did not let anyone know. It was my fault."

Shen Jiarou smiled politely and gently: "You are joking, please sit down!"

Concubine Shun was wearing a purple palace dress embroidered with peonies for the evening, which made her look dignified and regal. She stroked her dress gently and sat down.

Seeing two easels nearby, she smiled.

"You two are in a good mood today."

Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan looked at each other and smiled faintly, then took their seats one by one.
