The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Before coming to Zhaolan Palace, Shen Jiarou sent someone to Fushou Palace to talk to the Queen Mother about the three of them going to Zhaolan Palace and asked if it would be convenient for them to go together.

When Nanny Gui arrived at the gate of Zhaolan Palace, the eunuch guarding the gate hurried in to report.

"Your Highness, Aunt Gui is here."

Concubine De was obviously taken aback. The Queen Mother usually wouldn't look for her, but today she came, and it was Nanny Gui who was close to the Queen Mother. Concubine De looked at the Queen, who smiled faintly and nodded.

Concubine De looked at Madam Chang who was standing beside her and ordered, "Madam Chang, go and invite them!"

Matron Chang bowed and said, "Yes, Madam."

She turned and walked out of the hall, and soon brought Nanny Gui to the main hall. Seeing the Queen, Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu, Nanny Gui hurriedly saluted.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Empress, Princess Yongkang, and Lord Bai, and conveys the Empress Dowager's oral order. Her Majesty the Empress, Consort De, Princess Yongkang, and Lord Bai are to have dinner at Fushou Palace."

The four of them stood up halfway to receive instructions, and then followed Nanny Gui to Fushou Palace.

The Queen Mother was sitting on a phoenix chair in a dark purple phoenix robe. She smiled when she saw the four people coming to pay their respects.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Your Highness pays respect to the Queen Mother."

"Yi Yi has met the Imperial Grandmother."

"Yunsu pays respect to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said kindly, "No need to be polite, please sit down."

The four of them thanked the Empress one by one and sat down on both sides. Shen Jiarou sat below the Empress and Bai Yunsu sat below Concubine De.

"Dinner will be served in another quarter of an hour. Just wait a while." The four of them nodded respectfully.

"Yes."

The Queen Mother glanced at Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu, then looked at Concubine De and sighed.

"It would be better if the third princess was here. I wonder how her relationship with her husband is going recently."

Concubine De respectfully replied, "Her Majesty, Xi'er and her husband have a good relationship. Thank you for your concern."

"The emperor's daughters are all married now. It will probably take many years for the children to get married."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandmother, you forgot that there is still the Thirteenth Brother. In another six or seven years, the Fourteenth Brother will be here soon. However, the Thirteenth Brother has been missing recently, so I am afraid we can't count on him."

The Queen Mother said cheerfully, "Why, you can't even control the Fourth Princess, who is closest to you?"

"Grandmother, you don't know him. He is now traveling around every day. Even my fourteenth brother has mentioned several times that he wants to go with him to explore the world."

The Queen Mother laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "What's the matter? Have the two brothers had enough of their good life and want to travel the world with swords?"

Shen Jiarou continued to complain: "I'm afraid, he must have read too many martial arts novels."

The Queen, Concubine De and Bai Yunsu covered their faces and laughed when they heard this.

As the biological mother, the Queen thought about the Thirteenth Prince’s current age.

"Princess, please pay attention to the young ladies of the various families. It's time for Thirteen to find a princess. It would be better if there was a mistress to take care of the house. She could also control his temper."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "Yi Yi, your mother is right. Thirteen is not young anymore, and he doesn't care. We, as his elders and eldest sister, must consider him."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and brightly: "I understand everything."

Concubine De agreed: "Then I will be waiting for the wedding banquet with the Thirteenth Prince."

Emperor Yuan Shun, who was in the imperial study, was very pleased to learn that his wife, daughter and beloved concubine were all in Fushou Palace to have dinner with his mother.

"This daughter is more caring than a son."

Li Jiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty seems to be very happy. Why don't you go too?"

Emperor Yuan Shun looked down and smiled: "Well, it just so happens that the government affairs have been handled."

In the dining hall of Fushou Palace, a bright yellow figure walked over. Shen Jiarou caught a glimpse of it and looked up.

"Father."

The Empress Dowager, the Queen and others all looked over, and when they saw that it was really Emperor Shun of Yuan, they quickly stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Queen and Concubine De bowed together.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Why did the emperor suddenly come again?

"No need to be polite, I am here to see you, mother."

"Your Majesty, please sit down. Xiaoyu, please get some more bowls and chopsticks."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty sat down and was startled when he saw Bai Yunsu beside Concubine De.

"Yunsu is here too."

Bai Yunsu nodded respectfully and politely: "Your Majesty, the princess and I entered the palace together this morning."

"Well, Yiyi hasn't been to the palace for a while. Could it be that he has forgotten his father, mother, empress, and grandmother?" Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty said with a teasing tone, and Shen Jiarou echoed.

"Father, how dare I do that? It's just that there are too many things going on in the palace recently."

"What could possibly happen in your house? Besides, the people around you can handle it."

"Sister Shutong beside me has just given birth for more than half a month."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was stunned for a moment: "Has time passed so quickly? I thought it would take half a month."

Shen Jiarou covered her face and laughed, and the Queen Mother explained.

"Emperor, Shutong was born prematurely."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I thought time had flown by another half a month."

When you get old, you always feel that time passes quickly.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was already sixty years old, with many gray hairs on his temples, and he was no longer able to handle many things.

Since Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty and Concubine De returned to Zhaolan Palace together, Bai Yunsu followed Shen Jiarou back to Fanghua Palace.

It was late autumn and the weather was slightly cool. Xie Youmu and Anyinyin arranged for the palace maids to bring water for washing and foot bathing, while Yu Hanger went to prepare peppercorns and dried petals.

After everything was ready, Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu placed their feet in their respective foot baths.

Yu Hanger asked, "Princess, Mr. Xiang, is the temperature suitable?"

The two nodded at the same time. Bai Yunsu had originally planned to spend more time with her aunt in Zhaolan Palace, but she never expected that the emperor would suddenly show up.

"By the way, Princess Sister, what are you going to give Qiuci's baby on his first month of birth?"

"For a baby, it's better to give him something useful. How about I sew a few toys for him?"

"Sewing little animals? Then I'll do it too."

The next day, after breakfast, the two began to sew toys. Shen Jiarou chose a little tiger and used goose yellow fabric. She chose to use black thread to make the eyes, overlapping them step by step until they looked like eyes.

Bai Yunsu sewed based on the prototype of the battle shield. Shen Jiarou, who had been sewing, looked up at her.

"Are you a wolf?"

"Yes, it's based on the Gozan."

Hearing her talk about the defense war, Shen Jiarou sighed slightly.

"What's wrong, princess sister?"

"I'm afraid that Hu Zhan will not survive this winter."

Bai Yunsu paused while sewing: "Maybe it has reached the end of its lifespan. It almost died a few years ago, but it lived a few more years. God has been very good to us."

Shen Jiarou felt depressed: "You are right."

But Huzhan came to her earlier than anyone else. If he left suddenly, she couldn't imagine how sad she would be.

Zhang Zirou, Nami and others felt sad when they saw their princess was sad.

Yu Hanger said with some worry: "Princess, you have to relax. After all, it is a livestock, not like us humans. It has been more than ten years, and this may be its limit."

Shen Jiarou nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand."
