The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Jiang Ziyi said, "Mother, shall we make lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge later? Okay?"

When Jiang Huajin heard about food, he agreed, "Mother, sister, mung bean, lotus seed, and coix seed porridge? That's fine too."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Lotus seed, lily, and white fungus soup? Not bad either."

Zhen Luosang smiled and continued, "Lotus seed, lily and white fungus soup is good for moistening the lungs and relieving coughs."

Jiang Huajin asked, "Mother, what are the benefits of mung bean, lotus seed and coix seed porridge?"

Jiang Ruofan continued, "I'll make you some lotus seed and papaya soup. It has the effects of nourishing yin and rejuvenating the skin. The main ingredients include papaya, lotus seeds, red dates and white fungus. After stewing, add rock sugar and you can eat it."

Jiang Ziheng ran over: "Father, I want to drink."

His trouser leg was grabbed suddenly and Jiang Ruofan felt that his trousers were about to be torn off.

"Third brother, let go." What a kid.

"Father, when are you going to do it? I can't wait."

Shen Jiarou, Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Huajin, mother and daughter, smiled at each other, and Jiang Huajin complained proudly.

"Shame on you, you're such a good dog."

Zhen Luosang couldn't help but chuckle. Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong turned their heads away and laughed secretly. The Third Young Master and Princess Chenyang were really a pair of bickering lovers.

Before lunch, Jiang Ruofan made lotus seed, lily and tremella soup for his wife and daughters, and then made mung bean, lotus seed and coix seed porridge.

Jiang Ziwen and Jiang Zihao lowered their heads and ate the lotus seed, lily and white fungus soup seriously. Jiang Zixue (Tang Zixue) and Jiang Ziyong also ate seriously and even fed each other.

"Come here, little brother, let the fifth brother feed you."

Jiang Ziyong opened his mouth and ate it obediently: "Thank you, Fifth Brother, it's delicious."

Jiang Zixue (Tang Zixue) smiled dotingly, while Jiang Ziwen and Jiang Zihao looked at him with satisfaction and doting on their faces.

After they slowly savored the lotus seed, lily and tremella soup, Jiang Ruofan’s mung bean, lotus seed and coix seed porridge was ready.

"Come on, kids. Mung bean, lotus seed, and coix seed porridge? Ready, come and try it."

Shen Jiarou looked at the porridge in the large porcelain bowl and thought it looked delicious.

"Come, mother will serve you a bowl."

After the seven children had shared their food, there was still one bowl left. Shen Jiarou was suddenly stunned.

"Husband, let's each eat half."

Jiang Ruofan didn't want to eat it much, he mainly wanted to make it for his wife and children to try.

"No, please eat it, ma'am."

Shen Jiarou refused and picked up another empty bowl and filled half of it for Jiang Ruofan.

"Come, husband."

"Thank you ma'am."

Jiang Ruofan tasted the porridge he made and felt that it was quite successful for his first time.

Although the engagement was just a nominal matter, everyone still took it very seriously and chose an auspicious day.

After the exchange of the engagement notes, Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Weiyan was genuinely happy, and Jiang Ziyi had indescribable emotions and feelings in her heart.

In the Tang Mansion in the capital, Emperor Wenzong of Tang received a handwritten letter from his daughter. He opened the letter in his study, read it, and smiled.

"Hahaha, the matter is finally resolved."

Li Leping and Li Lesong looked at each other, and Li Leping's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Master, this matter has been resolved. You can finally have a good night's sleep."

Tang Wenzong stroked his beard and smiled cheerfully: "Yes, but it will take several months for them to come back."

Li Lesong said, "It's okay. The princess and the others have asked people to bring a lot of food. You will be happy to eat it. It's like they are accompanying you."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang nodded and said, "That's right. Hey, there seem to be dried lotus seeds, right?"

Li Lesong nodded: "Yes, lotus seeds can be eaten raw, and can also be made into porridge and white fungus soup, and lotus seed and papaya syrup."

"There's still so much food to cook, so let's ask the kitchen to make porridge tomorrow."

Before going to court the next day, Emperor Wenzong of Tang first ate two bowls of lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge, which is good for the stomach.

Recently, the court officials have not forced Ji Chenyu to adopt another child, but Ji Chenyu already has opinions about those court officials who seconded the proposal.

After the court session, Tang Wenzong was detained by Ji Chenyu. After reporting some things, he found that Ji Chenyu was still somewhat dissatisfied, and he was confused.

"emperor?"

"What about that?"

Tang Wenzong said: "Your Majesty, it has been arranged."

After hearing this, Ji Chenyu didn't say anything, but instead felt relieved.

During lunch, Ji Chenyu came to Anhe Palace. When the empress dowager saw him, she hurriedly asked.

"Emperor, is there any good news?"

Ji Chenyu nodded silently: "Yes, mother can relax now."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yes, I can sleep better. Emperor, how about the concubines?"

Ji Chenyu's face changed: He himself didn't understand, he had tried very hard, but those women in the harem still didn't move at all.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Emperor, you have not chosen a concubine since you ascended the throne. Why don't you take this opportunity to select those pregnant women as concubines?"

"Choosing a concubine?"

"Correct."

"Alright."

Shen Jiarou received a handwritten letter from her royal brother. Seeing that he was preparing to choose a concubine, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but frown.

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips slightly: Brother Emperor wants to choose a concubine? Is it for the sake of offspring?

Thinking of his throne, his mother, who was the honorable Queen Mother, frowned.

"Oh, it's so hard to be a human being." No matter what position you are in, you have your own troubles.

It's not easy for her royal brother either. After all, he really has a throne to pass on to someone else.

Shen Jiarou sat down at the desk and after thinking it over, she decided to write a letter by hand.

Zhang Zirou brought out the rice paper and spread it out, Zheng Shutong began to grind the ink, and Shen Jiarou picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and began to write the letter.

It took Shen Jiarou half an hour to write the letter. After it was finished, she put down the red pen. After the ink was dry, she picked up the envelope and put the letter in it.

"Let's send our people back to the capital as quickly as possible."

Zhen Luosang took it and said, "Yes, Princess."

Ji Chenyu has set the time for selecting a concubine for one month later. Many ministers also want to get promoted and make money by letting their daughters enter the palace. It would be even better if they were lucky enough to get pregnant and give birth to a prince.

Looking at the list sent by the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs, Ji Chenyu was not very interested. He just glanced over it and put it on the desk.

"Let the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs handle it." All he wanted was a woman who could give birth to children, not a lover or a queen. As long as they had a clean family background and were decent people, he didn't have many other requirements.

The Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs all bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Watching them leave, Ji Chenyu silently felt sorry for himself. After being the crown prince for decades and the emperor for several years, it seemed that there were still many things that did not go as he wished.

Thinking of the fact that he had few children over the years, Ji Chenyu's self-esteem as a man was greatly affected, especially since he was the emperor of the Nine Martial Supremes, which made him feel even more humiliated.

Shen Jiarou's letter was sent back to the capital by the secret guards and delivered to Ji Chenyu through secret channels.

Knowing that his fourth sister and her family lived a happy life, Ji Chenyu was very happy for Shen Jiarou.
