The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"Husband, you're awake."

Jiang Cha and Jiang Wu turned around immediately upon hearing this: "Meet the Princess."

"It's time for dinner. Please help the prince consort wash and change his clothes."

The two bowed respectfully: "Yes, Princess."

Zhen Luosang helped her to sit down on the couch. Shen Jiarou supported her head with her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, waiting for Jiang Ruofan to wash and change clothes.

Seeing that she was tired and fell asleep again, Jiang Ruofan, who had already dressed, walked up to Shen Jiarou and stopped.

"Ma'am, we should go to dinner."

Shen Jiarou slowly opened her eyes and saw the somewhat tired but still handsome face close to her.

"Oro is alright?"

Jiang Ruofan smiled at her gently: "Okay, Madam, let's go and have dinner. I will come back and give you a massage later."

Shen Jiarou smiled when she heard this: "That's fine, let's go."

She stood up and took Jiang Ruofan's arm, and the two of them walked towards the dining hall. When everyone saw them, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"I've met the eldest princess."

"Meet the eldest princess, sister-in-law."

"Meet the eldest princess aunt."

"Meet the eldest princess' aunt."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite. I'm here to meet my father, mother, second uncle and second aunt."

The four of them smiled and nodded at her politely. Jiang Ruofan helped Shen Jiarou sit down and then sat next to her.

Everyone waited for Shen Jiarou to pick up her chopsticks before they took turns picking up their chopsticks and started eating.

"Dad, have a bowl of chicken soup."

Jiang Shengping smiled with satisfaction when he saw his eldest son serving soup to him.

"Xie Ruofan, don't forget to serve soup to the princess as well."

"Don't worry, father. I will serve soup to my wife after I serve it to my mother."

Madam Jiang took the chicken soup handed to her by her eldest son and thanked him with a gentle smile.

"Thank you Ruofan."

"Yours, ma'am."

Shen Jiarou also smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, husband."

Jiang Shengping and Madam Jiang looked at the couple who treated each other with respect and were as loving as ever, and smiled at each other with satisfaction.

Ever since Madam Jiang passed away, the Prince Consort's Mansion always felt like something was missing, perhaps it was because an old treasure was missing.

Half a month later, Shen Jiarou resumed attending court. Originally, one of her immediate family members had passed away, and according to court practice, she could have taken a three-year break, but this was not suitable for the new dynasty, so she rested for most of half a month and then resumed attending court.

Ji Chenyu felt sorry for the Fourth Princess when he saw her face was no longer round.

Facing his gaze, Shen Jiarou, who was busy dealing with memorials, didn't notice it at all.

Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Ji Chenyu motioned Luo Cheng to come over, and he whispered something in his ear.

"Go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more dishes that the Fourth Princess likes."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave then."

Ji Chenyu waved his hand, and Luo Cheng left quietly. When Shen Jiarou finished dealing with the memorials in front of her and raised her head to stretch her body, she found that Luo Cheng was gone.

"Brother, where is Luo Cheng?"

"He's gone to arrange the meals."

Ji Chenyu saw the half-reviewed memorial that had been reviewed by the Fourth Princess, and sighed that with her around, he felt half as relieved.

Fengyi Palace

Queen Musmin ate quietly alone. She had been accustomed to such days for more than ten years.

"Nanqi, I heard that the Regent Princess has started attending court?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Thinking of the emperor who had become thin and exhausted in the past month and a half, she felt sorry for him.

"If the Fourth Princess resumes attending court and handling state affairs, the Emperor will feel much more relaxed."

Nan Qi nodded: "Yes, before the regent princess was here, the emperor went to the harem more often."

Naturally, more people come to their palace. She feels that having a regent princess to help the emperor handle state affairs is really beneficial to her queen.

Perhaps Shen Jiarou used her brain too much and ate two bowls of rice in a row. This was already her third bowl. Ji Chenyu was surprised and his appetite also increased a lot.

"Fourth sister, eat more spare ribs and this braised beef and potatoes."

Seeing the sudden increase in ribs and beef in the bowl, Shen Jiarou raised her eyes slightly.

"Royal brother, you should eat too. I see that you have lost a lot of weight in the past month and a half."

Seeing that she cared about him, Ji Chenyu smiled happily.

"it is good."

Seeing his master following the Regent Princess and drinking three bowls of rice in a row, Luo Chengdu felt incredible. His emperor must have had such a good appetite today.

After lunch, Shen Jiarou, who was full and satisfied, began to feel sleepy. She quickly returned to Fanghua Palace to take a nap. She was so tired that she soon fell asleep.

Half an hour later, Shen Jiarou was awakened by Aunt Zhenhua. She reluctantly sat up and left the bed.

"Princess, you will have to deal with state affairs soon, so you need to wake up first." Looking at her master who was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable, Aunt Zhenhua felt distressed.

"Aunt, too much time has passed. A month and a half has gone by in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, it's already late spring. The seeds should have been sown outside."

The two of them chatted casually like this, while Zhen Luosang and others were serving her.

"It depends on the season. About the same."

Shen Jiarou packed up and went to Fushou Palace. The Empress Dowager was very happy to see her.

"Yi Yi is here, please take a seat!" Shen Jiarou sat down next to the Grand Empress Dowager. She affectionately took the Grand Empress Dowager's arm and rubbed her head against her arm.

"Grandmother, do you want to know?"

55 The Empress Dowager looked down at the girl who was still acting like a spoiled child and said, "Girl, you are already so old, yet you still cling to the Imperial Grandmother like this."

Shen Jiarou smiled when she heard that, but the Empress Dowager felt as if everything had returned to more than ten years ago.

Shen Jiarou accompanied the Empress Dowager for a while, and then went to Anhe Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was obviously stunned when she saw her. She didn't expect that she would come to visit her on the first day when she resumed court.

"Yi Yi is here, and she has visited your royal grandmother."

"Mother, I just came from Fushou Palace."

Seeing her thinner face, the Queen Mother felt very distressed.

"You should eat more. Look how thin you have become. Your brother has also lost a lot of weight recently. Seeing you like this, your mother is very worried."

Shen Jiarou smiled after hearing this, and the empress dowager was stunned.

"Don't worry, mother. My brother and I had three bowls of rice for lunch today."

The Queen Mother's eyes widened in shock when she heard this: "Really?"

"It's true."

The Queen Mother smiled gently when she heard the good news.

"That's good. Besides, eating with you will basically increase my appetite."

Bai Yuechu and Nanny Luo smiled at each other. Their master was right. Every time the Queen Mother had a poor appetite, her appetite would definitely improve if the Regent Princess was around.

Seeing that a long time had passed, Shen Jiarou left Anhe Palace and returned to the imperial study to continue dealing with the memorials that had just been delivered with Ji Chenyu.

Looking at the mountain of memorials, Shen Jiarou sighed helplessly.

"It's not easy to be a minister, and it's even harder to be an emperor."

Listening to her complaints, Ji Chenyu couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Emperors have been like this since ancient times."

Looking at the memorials that gave her a headache, Shen Jiarou sighed softly and lowered her head to continue processing the memorials. Fortunately, she was fast enough and after an hour, she had reviewed twenty of them.
