The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The sun was warm outside, and the two sisters accompanied the queen to the stone table in the courtyard, where they sat down to chat and enjoy the scenery.

"Time flies by so fast. When my mother met the princess, she was only seven years old. Now she is married and has children. I'm afraid in ten years, she will be a grandmother."

Shen Jiarou couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, it's too early for me."

Bai Yunsu smiled and said at the right time: "Princess sister, if another fourteen or fifteen years pass, maybe we will really become grandmothers."

Nanny Luo and Bai Yuechu also covered their faces and laughed, and even joined in the conversation.

"By then, the young princess and the young prince will be seventeen or eighteen years old. By then, the threshold of the princess's mansion will surely be trampled to pieces." Bai Yuechu said with a smile.

The queen said proudly: "If you want to marry my granddaughter, you have to get through me first."

Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu smiled at each other gently.

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

"By the way, isn't Shutong next to you about to give birth? How long will it take?"

"Mother, Sister Shutong has given birth."

The queen, her master and her servant were startled: "Ah!"

"Give birth? So soon?"

"I've been in confinement for more than half a month."

The queen was shocked: "Isn't there still half a month left?"

"Sister Shutong slipped, so she gave birth half a month early. Fortunately, both mother and child are safe."

"Amitabha, fortunately there was no danger."

"Yeah, it scared us all."

Bai Yunsu found it very funny when she recalled what happened that day.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that after Shutong gave birth, she cried when she saw the baby."

"Were you moved to tears?"

Bai Yunsu shook her head: "No."

The Queen was puzzled: "What is that?"

Bai Yunsu looked at Shen Jiarou and couldn't help but cover her face and smile. Shen Jiarou picked up a handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled.

"I cried because of the ugliness."

Bai Yuechu was stunned: "Ugly? Not really. Shutong is pretty, and Guard Captain Xu should be good-looking too."

Nanny Luo nodded in agreement, and Shen Jiarou began to explain.

"Aren't babies wrinkled when they are born?"

The Queen guessed, "Is it because of this?"

"Yes, we coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down. We pulled the midwife and told her that she would be fine after she grew up."

The Queen couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I find that scene interesting just by imagining it."

During lunch, the Queen kept picking up food for Shen Jiarou, causing her to keep her head down while eating. Bai Yunsu saw this and shook her head in her heart, thinking how deeply the Queen loved her.

"Mother, please help yourself with some food. I can hardly eat any more."

"You are too thin. Eat more. It will look better if you have some fat on your face."

"Mother, I have gained weight recently. Look, there is a lot more flesh on my face."

The queen reached out and pinched her cheek: "Yes, there is some flesh, it's okay, you won't gain much even if you eat more."

"Well, but you should also eat more, mother. After all, you are very tired from handling the affairs of the six palaces."

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, mother, eat more too."

Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu rested together in a side hall of Fengyi Palace. They lay flat on the bed in their underwear.

"Sister Princess, are you going to visit your aunt this afternoon?"

"Well, wait until Mother wakes up and chat with her for a while before leaving."

"Okay." She hadn't seen her aunt for a month and didn't know how she was doing.

Zhang Zirou walked into the bedroom. Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu were sleeping face to face. Zhang Zirou smiled slightly when she saw them.

"Princess, Mr. Xiang, it's time for us to get up."

The two slowly woke up, and when they saw her, Shen Jiarou opened her eyes and then closed them.

"Sister Zirou, how long have we slept?"

"Half an hour."

"Has it been that long? Has the Queen Mother woken up yet?"

"not yet."

Shen Jiarou stood up and, with Zhang Zirou's graceful service, walked towards the door of the Fengyi Palace's bedroom.

"Aunt, is mother awake?"

Bai Yuechu said respectfully: "Princess, please..."

Before she could finish, the Queen's voice rang out.

"Is it the princess?"

"Mother, it is your son who is your subject."

"come in."

Bai Yuechu opened the door respectfully, and Shen Jiarou walked in. The queen was sitting next to the dressing table.

"Mother."

The queen turned and looked at her tenderly: "The princess is awake."

"Well, mother, let me comb your hair for you."

The queen smiled gently when she heard this: "Okay, Princess, it has been many years since I combed your hair. Today, I will enjoy it again."

Shen Jiarou stepped forward, took the wooden comb from the palace maid and began to comb the queen's hair gently and carefully. When she saw the white hair emerging from her hair, she was slightly stunned.

"Mother has been very busy lately. You must make sure to balance work and rest."

The queen smiled gently and nodded: "Okay, mother will remember it."

Shen Jiarou personally did the Queen's hair, completing a perfect bun. She then inserted a blue phoenix hairpin, pearl flowers and velvet flowers on the Queen's hair. Finally, she looked at the gentle, dignified and elegant person in the mirror.

"Mother, please take a look."

The queen admired it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. Let's go and accompany mother to Zhaolan Palace. It's a good opportunity for you two sisters to see Concubine De."

Shen Jiarou showed surprise and bowed happily: "Yes, mother."

The mother and daughter left the bedroom and came to the main hall. When Bai Yunsu saw them, she quickly stood up and saluted.

"Meet the Queen, Princess."

Shen Jiarou winked at her mischievously: "Sister Bai, let's go to Zhaolan Palace."

Bai Yunsu was stunned: Zhaolan Palace? Isn't that my aunt's bedroom?

The three of them walked towards Zhaolan Palace, and the eunuch immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Your servant greets the Queen, the Princess, and Lord Bai Xiang."

Concubine De was just about to go out to the courtyard to admire the chrysanthemums. When she heard the servant's words, she quickly looked up and saw a servant walking in.

"My queen." He knelt down quickly.

Defei walked past him and bowed respectfully at the palace gate.

"I, my concubine, see you, the Queen."

"No need to be polite, Concubine De."

"Thank you, Queen."

Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu let go of the Queen's arms and bowed to Concubine De.

"I've met Empress Dowager De."

"Princess, please don't be so polite." Why are the three of them together today? She had no idea when the princess and Yunsu entered the palace.

Concubine De stepped forward and helped the Queen walk towards the main hall, while Nanny Chang arranged for people to serve tea and snacks.

Concubine De was sitting at the bottom. She looked at the two people opposite her and asked gently.

"When did the princess and Yunsu enter the palace?"

Shen Jiarou said politely, "We entered the palace in the morning and went to Fushou Palace first, then had lunch and rested in my mother's palace, and then came to your palace, Madam Defei."

Although Concubine De is old, she still has her cool and elegant temperament.

"Hey, the princess's Shutong is about to give birth."

"A son was born."

"Ah, she's already given birth?"

"Yes, she's already half a month old."

Concubine De and Nanny Chang were both shocked: "Ah, could it be that I remembered the time wrong?"

Bai Yunsu said, "Aunt Defei, it's not true. It was just a small accident. Fortunately, mother and child are safe."

"That's good. The princess didn't bring the young princes and princesses into the palace today. I think the queen must have missed them."

The queen took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "The princess said that the prince consort and the teacher are teaching, there is no need to rush, we will see you next time."

De Fei was stunned: "The Prince Consort is teaching you personally?"

"Yes, my husband and I are both in the capital anyway, so it won't be a problem."

De Fei nodded: "That's right. It's different if a biological father teaches. Besides, the prince consort is also very talented and knowledgeable. He is more than capable of teaching several children."

The queen smiled gently: "I think so too."
