The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Ji Chenyu looked at Jiang Shisheng and lamented that he was unlucky to have such an unreasonable and domineering mother.

"Jiang Shisheng."

"I'm here." Jiang Shisheng understood that since his mother had made such a big mistake, he would inevitably be punished. At this moment, his heart was very calm.

"As the eldest son, you did not communicate with your mother and brother. I will punish you to go to the Ministry of Revenue and sell all the unused items within one month. You must sell enough silver to make 50,000 taels. You cannot buy them yourself or with your family. If you cannot complete the task in time, you will be demoted to a lower rank. You accept this."

Jiang Shisheng knelt respectfully and said, "I acknowledge this and thank you for your grace."

The eldest princess was regretting deeply at this moment. Why did she insist on venting her anger for a moment? Why couldn't she be patient a little longer? Now, both of her sons paid the price for her recklessness.

Ji Chenyu looked at Jiang Ruofan, his nominal fourth brother-in-law. In order to prevent others from finding any evidence against him as the new emperor, he could only vent his anger on him on the surface.

"Consort."

Jiang Ruofan didn't expect the emperor to call him.

"The minister is here."

"As the consort of the regent princess, you failed to fulfill your duty of persuasion and will be fined for half a year."

Jiang Ruofan knelt down respectfully to express his gratitude: "I thank you for your grace, my Lord."

The matter was resolved, and Ji Chenyu sent away the eldest princess and her mother and son.

Upon seeing this, the Minister of Rites hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave as well."

"Go."

When Jingzhao Yin saw that the Minister of Rites had run away, he also hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty, I, the Jingzhao Yin, have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Ji Chenyu waved his hand again: "Back off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingzhao Yin ran very fast, as if someone was urging him to die.

Looking at her daughter's red and swollen face, the empress dowager looked distressed.

"This princess is really too arrogant. Look at how Yi Yi got slapped in the face."

Nanny Gui followed the eldest princess and her family back to the palace, nominally to supervise the eldest princess, but in fact she was also supervising the eldest princess to prevent her from causing any more trouble in the short term.

When Aunt Zhen saw the Empress Dowager stand up, she quickly helped her to the palace.

"Yiyi, have you applied the swelling and pain-relieving medicine?"

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly: "Okay, it just hurts to talk."

The Empress Dowager was distressed when she heard this: "Then you should talk less and try not to say anything. You are such a child that you are prone to all kinds of bad luck."

Jiang Shengping and Madam Jiang stood there awkwardly, not daring to say anything. After all, they always felt that they were out of place in the royal family.

Shen Jiarou felt a little guilty seeing how worried the Empress Dowager was, but she did not regret what she had done. After all, she couldn't suffer in vain. The opportunity was right in front of her, and if she didn't make good use of it, then it would be a waste of the opportunity God had given her.

"Grandmother, mother, brother, you don't have to worry. The redness and swelling will go away if you just bear with it." Anyway, her brother had confined her to her room for half a month, so she could have a good rest and spend some time with the children.

She felt a little happy and excited at the thought that she wouldn't have to deal with official duties or review memorials for half a month.

The Queen Mother sighed and looked at Jiang Ruofan to give instructions.

"My dear husband, please take good care of the princess, otherwise I will only blame you."

Jiang Ruofan nodded quickly: "Yes, mother, I will do my best to take good care of the princess."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Yi Yi, you have been busy for so long, have you ever had a meal?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head. The situation was so serious that she had no chance or time to eat.

Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, the Queen Mother sighed.

"Why don't we go to the Queen Mother's palace for dinner, so that we can spend some time together as mother and daughter."

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "Mother, I'd better not come out in this state to scare people. It would be unworthy of the regent princess and the royal family. I will return home with my husband and parents-in-law in a while. I will come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Mother after the confinement is over."

The Empress Dowager was very pleased to see that she was so sensible and considered the overall situation.

"That's fine. By the way, Emperor, you have ready-made cakes, candied fruits and snacks. Let Yi Yi fill his stomach quickly. Don't starve."

Ji Chenyu looked at Luo Cheng, and he quickly spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, we have Guanghan Cake and Peach Blossom Wine, Cheese and Yam Cake."

Ji Chenyu hurriedly urged upon hearing this: "Then take it out and feed it to the Regent Princess. Don't let her get hungry. After the house arrest, she won't be able to return to the palace to help me handle government affairs."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Emperor, your sister has suffered such a great injustice, and you are still here thinking about letting her handle government affairs."

Ji Chenyu explained with a wronged look on his face: "Mother, I have absolutely no such intention. I just wanted to adjust the atmosphere because I saw that the atmosphere was not good. Please don't think too much."

His mother, he doesn't want to live the same controlled life as Jiang Shisheng and Jiang Shijie, especially since he is the king of a country, the honorable emperor.

The pastries came up, and soon cups of hot tea were brought in. Shen Jiarou and the other three, as well as the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, were all thirsty, so they picked up the teacups and took many sips before they felt their thirst was gone.

Shen Jiarou drank one-third of a cup of tea and ate several pieces of cakes.

Looking at the sky outside, Shen Jiarou looked at the three people and said goodbye softly.

"Grandmother, Mother, Brother, I have finished my cakes and tea today, and will take my leave with my husband and my parents-in-law."

Ji Chenyu smiled gently and nodded: "Okay, go back and take good care of your injuries. I will wait for you to continue to help me handle government affairs."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and pursed her lips: "Yes, my royal brother."

The position of the regent princess is really tiring and requires constant toil.

Shen Jiarou was extremely upset in her heart: Oh my God, can we just go on strike? She didn't want to live this day in such a calculating way.

Shen Jiarou decided to wait until the new emperor had completely established his foothold in the court, and then she would go to Fengdi to retire early.

Inside the carriage, the eldest princess and Nanny Gui were both inside. She lifted the curtain and looked at her two sons who had been implicated by her, feeling filled with remorse.

Seeing that she was frowning, Nanny Gui had no intention of comforting her. After all, it was the eldest princess herself who caused the current situation, and there was no shortage of people who regretted their mistakes in this world.

Jiang Shijie was a little afraid to look at his elder brother. Jiang Shisheng felt his younger brother's actions of peeking at him many times. Thinking that his mother was in the carriage, he forced himself to resist the urge to comfort his younger brother.

When the Crown Prince's wife Li Xuejiao heard that the carriage was about to arrive at the mansion, she hurried to the gate with Madam Liu to wait.

When she saw her husband, her second uncle and her mother-in-law being helped out of the carriage by Nanny Yun, she looked again and saw a familiar figure, which shocked her.

"Madam Gui? Am I dazzled?"

Madam Liu confirmed for her: "The Crown Prince's wife is really Madam Gui who is beside the Grand Empress Dowager."

The master and servant were shocked as to why Nanny Gui, the personal attendant of the Grand Empress Dowager, came back with her mother-in-law.

"Mother, Prince." When she looked up at her mother-in-law and husband, she was frightened by Jiang Shijie's red and swollen face and almost fell down.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing..."

The eldest princess glared at her, and the Crown Prince's wife didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of angering her powerful mother-in-law.
