The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou looked at the cute and well-behaved child and smiled: "This child hasn't gone to bed yet?"

Bai Qiuci lowered his head to look at his son in his arms and said, "No, maybe he knew the princess and the county lord were here and wanted to see them before going to sleep."

Bai Yunsu covered her face and smiled: "That's possible. Let me hug you."

Bai Qiuci handed the child to her hometown lord, with a gentle look following her. She was now a free person, as her hometown lord had restored her freedom when she got married.

Shen Jiarou also leaned over to tease the little guy.

"Tuantuan, my little darling, we are all your aunts."

"Princess sister, he won't understand even if I tell him." Bai Yunsu found it funny and smiled softly with her head down.

"It doesn't matter. Just say it a few more times and maybe he'll remember it, right, Tuantuan?"

Tang Wenzong would occasionally hug and take care of the couple's daughter and son, and the children all liked him very much.

Shen Jiarou held her for a while, and then Tang Wenzong took her over. Seeing his skillful movements, Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu smiled at each other at the same time.

"Godfather, you are now very good at holding the child."

Tang Wenzong laughed out loud: "Over the years, I have carried many children. If I don't gain experience, my life will be in vain."

Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard laughed.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang had his own experience in raising children. He looked up at his daughter and adopted daughter-in-law and smiled lovingly.

"You two can have one or two more children while you are still young. You can afford to raise them anyway."

Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu smiled at each other silently. Shen Jiarou joked, "Will Daddy help us take care of it when the time comes?"

Tang Wenzong smiled cheerfully: "It's OK when I have time."

The two of them covered their mouths and laughed, leaves were falling in the courtyard, and they were chatting happily. The sun was shining on everyone, which made it look quite warm.

At lunch time, Li Leping arranged the meal and went to the dining hall.

"I greet the princess, sir, and the country gentleman."

Tang Wenzong smiled and said, "Leping, sit down!"

Li Leping saluted: "Yes."

Zhang Zirou looked up and served soup to Shen Jiarou, Yaer served soup to Bai Yunsu, and then served soup to herself, and Li Leping served soup to Tang Wenzong personally.

"Master, your soup."

"Thank you!"

Shen Jiarou drank a few sips of the soup, then saw the fried eggplant and beans on the table. She picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste.

"Well, this fried eggplant with beans is pretty good. You guys should try it too."

Bai Yunsu just had some pickled cabbage soup: "Sister Princess, pickled cabbage is pretty good too, it's appetizing, you all should have some."

Shen Jiarou suddenly remembered something and looked at Bai Qiuci and his wife: "By the way, the baby will be 100 days old in half a month."

The couple nodded at the same time, and Shen Jiarou drank a sip of soup and asked again.

"Ready to celebrate?"

"It would be nice for us acquaintances to have some fun together." After all, they are not a wealthy family.

Bai Yunsu smiled and nodded: "Okay, we'll all join in the fun then."

Zhang Zirou interjected at the right time: "By then, Shutong will have finished her confinement."

Nami finished her pumpkin pie and continued, "Yes, it's just right."

After finishing the meal, everyone went back to the courtyard to take a nap. Today, Jiang Ruofan was teaching the students, so she had to take a nap alone in the future Tang Mansion.

After a nap, they came to Mulan Garden where Bai Qiuci and his wife lived. There was a magnolia tree here, so it was named Mulan Garden.

"Sister Qiuci, what are you doing?"

Bai Yunsu was half a step away from Shen Jiarou, who had already leaned over and looked down at the embroidery in Bai Qiuci's hand.

"Hey, is this your bellyband?"

"Yes, Princess, it was embroidered for Tuan Tuan."

Shen Jiarou took it and admired it curiously: "Is this a sunflower?"

Bai Qiuci nodded shyly: "Yes, I don't know what to embroider for a boy, so I can only try to embroider this."

"You can also embroider small animals, such as chickens, ducks, geese, fish, deer, horses, etc., which are also suitable."

Bai Qiuci's face turned red with embarrassment: "Oh, I really didn't think about it that way."

Bai Yunsu comforted him gently, "It's okay, this one is done, just try again."

Shen Jiarou said, "Should I embroider one for Haohao and the others? But they seem too big to be necessary."

Zhang Zirou and Nami Rezana nodded, and Rezana's eyes lit up when she thought of her wallet.

"There is."

Everyone looked at her and said, "Princess, a purse or something will do."

Shen Jiarou's mouth twitched: "Haohao and the others are so young, do they need a purse?"

She first came into contact with money when she was six and a half years old. If she came into contact with money at the age of three, she would not be able to use it unless she went out.

Rezana's expression froze instantly: "It seems so, then how about a pencil case? We are starting classes now, right? It can hold pens."

Shen Jiarou nodded: "Okay, I'll embroider it when I get back."

Nami frowned, "Princess, we haven't been to the palace for half a month. The Queen and the others might have some complaints. How about we stay in the palace for two days after we return this time?"

Shen Jiarou sighed slightly: "Sister Bai, will you come with me to the palace to play for two days?"

"That's fine, let's go see my aunt by the way."

"I haven't seen Empress Defei for a while."

In the Fengyi Palace of the Imperial Palace, the Queen was looking at the palace gate in boredom.

"Madam Luo, how long has it been since the princess last entered the palace?"

"About half a month."

The queen was surprised: "It's been so long."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I heard that Shutong, who is with the princess, is about to give birth. I'm afraid she won't be able to enter the palace for a while." This daughter is just too loyal and righteous. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Nanny Luo looked up at the queen and guessed that she must be jealous.

"Your Majesty, the princess is a married woman after all. If she stays in the palace for a long time, there will inevitably be gossip." She still cared about Shen Jiarou and was afraid that the queen would have a problem with the princess.

The queen sighed: "You are right. Alas, this woman is not easy."

The palace is her mother's home, but she cannot come back as she pleases. People's hearts are complicated, and there are more considerations overall.

Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu entered the palace two days later. They first went to Fushou Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and then went to Fengyi Palace.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

"I see you, the Queen."

Seeing her daughter, the queen was in a very good mood.

"Please stand up quickly, Princess and Bai Xiangjun, please take a seat!"

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "Thank you, mother."

Bai Yunsu thanked her respectfully: "Thank you, Queen."

Bai Yuechu brought up some freshly brewed Dongting tea: "Princess and Bai Xiangjun, please have some tea!"

They both thanked in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Bai."

Bai Yuechu nodded politely and respectfully, then retreated to the side of the queen.

Looking at her gentle and dignified daughter, the queen's eyes were full of tenderness and love.

"I didn't bring the princess with me today."

"Mother, the Prince Consort and the Master are teaching them to go to school. I will bring them to the palace next time I go there."

"Okay, it doesn't matter. Have you visited the Queen Mother?"

"I have seen it. The Empress Dowager asked us to have dinner with her in the evening."

"Okay, then let's have lunch in Fengyi Palace today."

"Listen to your mother's arrangements."

The queen nodded in satisfaction. She had been very disappointed with the concubines in the East Palace over the years. The only thing she was not disappointed about was that her daughter, who she had raised, was still so outstanding. Although she was not at the center of power, she was still at the pinnacle of power, which comforted her a little.
