The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"Mother, my son wants one too."

Looking at the porcelain bowl in front of her, Shen Jiarou smiled helplessly and picked up a piece of pork belly and put it in his bowl.

"Eat."

Jiang Ziheng looked down at her and pursed his lips: "Mother, you have given so much to brother Wei Yan, and your son only gave me a piece of meat?"

Shen Jiarou was speechless: Are you going to compare this too?

She raised her hand again and quickly picked up a bunch of dishes for the jealous third son. His bowl was filled up in an instant, and everyone was stunned.

Shen Jiarou was about to pick up some food for other children, but was rejected by Jiang Zihao.

"Mother, please enjoy your meal. I will do it myself." Mother gave so many dishes to the third brother. If he couldn't finish them, it would be the end of him. Their family had a rule that food could not be wasted.

Jiang Zihao glanced at his third brother who was happily eating there, and mourned for him in his heart.

Jiang Zihao sighed in his heart: My dear third brother, you’ll just have to wish me good luck.

Su Wenjie kept picking up food for Jiang Huajin, and Jiang Ziyi was also taken care of. The two sisters just kept eating.

Jiang Weiyan was very envious of the way Jiang Ziwen and his friends usually ate. Although their family had its lively moments, it always felt like they didn't get along well.

After lunch, Jiang Weiyan and Jiang Ziwen went to take a nap together, and they came to his yard together.

Looking at the clean, elegant and quiet small courtyard, Jiang Weiyan said he liked it very much.

"Ziwen, your yard is pretty good."

Jiang Ziwen was very happy to hear the praise from his good brother.

"I chose it specially, and Heng Ge'er wanted to exchange it with me." Jiang Wei Yan had already imagined the scene and couldn't help but smiled with his head down.

"Let's go and take a look at the arrangements inside."

Jiang Weiyan and Jiang Ziwen walked side by side. The layout inside was also very elegant. There were many books on the bookshelves, and there were exquisite display tables and other exquisite and beautiful items on the display tables.

After Uncle Hei woke up, he left the yard and strolled around the mansion. Hearing the sound of sword forging, he came to the scene and just saw Bao Zhiqing and Shen Feimo sparring with each other.

"Yo, these two are sparring together again."

Bao Zhiqing's sword stabbed at Shen Feimo, he leaned back to avoid it, picked up the sword with his left hand and stabbed it directly at Bao Zhiqing, Bao Zhiqing dodged it by leaping into the air.

Uncle Hei, with his arms crossed over his chest, watched with great interest. Bao Zhiqing and Shen Feimo continued to spar for two quarters of an hour until one of them emerged victorious.

Bao Zhiqing looked at Shen Feimo and smiled faintly: "Thank you."

Shen Feimo bowed, and then the two of them stopped in front of Uncle Hei and bowed.

"Uncle Hei."

He looked at the two of them with admiration: "Not bad, your swordsmanship has not declined. Keep it up."

There should be more people with strong martial arts skills around the Regent Princess, after all, her identity is more special now.

The three of them sat down under the pavilion in the corridor and chatted about swordsmanship.

Bai Yunsu came this time with Shen Jiarou and others. The two of them chatted in her yard to relieve boredom. While Bai Yunsu was chatting with Shen Jiarou, her hands kept moving.

"Sister Bai, what is this peony you embroidered?"

"Yes, I embroidered it for you."

Shen Jiarou was slightly stunned: "Me? Is there any festival recently?"

She looked up at her personal female officials, and they all shook their heads. Shen Jiarou looked at Bai Yunsu with some confusion, only to see her smiling gently and parting her red lips.

"I just think peonies are beautiful, and I want to embroider one for you."

Shen Jiarou leaned over and looked over. She saw the pink peonies on it and thought they were beautiful.

"Thank you, Sister Bai. I'm sorry to trouble you for a while."

Bai Yunsu, who was as cool as a painting, smiled and said, "It's not hard. Compared to what you have done for our family, what I have done is simply a trivial matter."

Shen Jiarou disagreed and said, "That's not what you say..."

Seeing that she was about to nag, Bai Yunsu quickly interrupted her.

"Okay, let's talk about other happy things, like when we'll be back in town later."

"I've been here for quite a while. It's time to go back to town."

The next day, everyone set out for the town, and Jiang Ziyi reached her hand out of the carriage window.

"Mother, it's fun in the fiefdom. Can we come back next year?"

Shen Jiarou did not answer her eldest daughter's question immediately, but instead prepared her words in her mind.

"Probably not."

Jiang Ziyi felt a little disappointed. Thinking of her mother's current status, she sighed helplessly.

"National affairs are the most important thing."

When Jiang Ruofan heard his daughter's words, a relieved smile appeared on his elegant face.

"Ziyi has grown up and become more sensible."

Shen Jiarou looked at him silently, and thought about how she had no choice but to continue this topic when she was her daughter's age.

"We are almost in town. Do you remember what the town looks like?"

Jiang Ziyi took back her little hand and began to recall the past...

This was the end of the second month since Shen Jiarou and the others left. Ji Chenyu was counting the days. Apart from reviewing memorials every day, he would read books to calm himself down.

It was another full moon, and the bright moonlight shone from the night sky into the earth. Ji Chenyu, who was tired of reading, looked up unintentionally and saw the moonlight outside. He took the book and walked to the door of the hall.

He looked up at the azure night sky, the bright full moon and the twinkling stars.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Luo Cheng said quickly, "Yes, Your Majesty, how about you go to the pavilion and admire the moon for a while?"

Ji Chenyu's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. Then prepare some cakes, food and drinks for me."

When Luo Cheng heard this, his face lit up with joy: The emperor's mood has finally improved.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare it immediately."

Ji Chenyu stood by the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking at the cool yet gentle bright moonlight.

Luo Cheng asked someone to prepare some cakes and a honey drink so that his master could eat some first.

"Your Majesty, the rest will be here soon. Please have some of these cakes and drinks first."

Ji Chenyu turned around and nodded slightly, then sat down at the round wooden table. After Luo Cheng tested the poison, he picked up the honey water and started drinking it.

Under the same sky, the Queen Mother stood under the eaves of the palace, looking at the full moon hanging high in the sky. She felt sad and helpless when she thought about her son being childless now.

The Queen Mother clasped her hands together and prayed to God: Oh God, I beg you to give the Emperor a few sons.

As an emperor without any children, sooner or later her family property would be passed on to new owners, and she didn't want to see that happen.

Nanny Luo came to the Queen Mother and put a thin cloak on her.

"Queen, you need to relax."

The Queen Mother turned around and sighed, "I can't feel at ease about this matter. I am really anxious."

Nanny Luo sighed: The Empress Dowager's worries are starting to set in again. Being a parent is really not easy.

On the other side, Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan had made love several times, and now she was lying in his arms and had fallen asleep.

Jiang Ruofan looked at his soft little wife in his arms, bent down to kiss her forehead, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On the second day, Jiang Ruofan woke up before Shen Jiarou. Looking at the person who was sleeping soundly, his face was full of doting.
