The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

General Song walked into the palace's council hall and looked at Shen Jiarou who was handling government affairs seriously. He stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

"I am here to see you, General. I wonder when you will return to the capital."

Shen Jiarou, who was handling official business, looked up at him and said, "Five days later."

General Song was surprised: "So fast?"

"This general has been away from home for more than a year. It is time to go back early." I wonder how much taller Ziwen, Zihao, Hengger and others have grown, as well as her two precious daughters.

Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Huajin played back and forth between Fushou Palace and Anhe Palace. As Jiang Ziyi grew older, he became more stable and sensible, which made the empress dowager both pleased and distressed.

"Ziyi, can you please help the Royal Grandmother study?"

"Yes, Imperial Grandmother."

Jiang Ziyi picked up the book and began to read: "The plums are golden yellow, the apricots are plump, the wheat flowers are snow-white, and the cauliflowers are sparse. The day is long and no one passes by the fence, only dragonflies and butterflies fly."

"Is this poem from "Four Seasons Pastoral Feelings" by Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, Grandmother, it's about the early summer, when golden plums hang on the branches, apricots have grown, wheat ears are blooming white flowers in the fields, and rapeseed flowers have almost fallen and are setting seeds."

The Queen Mother smiled gently and dotingly: "Yes, our Ziyi is also a talented woman, just like your mother."

Thinking of her mother who was far away, Jiang Ziyi felt a little depressed, and the Queen Mother felt so distressed when she saw it.

"Ziyi, do you miss your mother?"

"Think about it."

"I think they will be back soon. Our Ziyi will wait patiently for a while."

"Really? Imperial grandmother."

"When has the Imperial Grandmother ever lied to you? This is what your uncle, the Emperor, said himself. There is news of victory at the border, and it cannot be false."

While playing, Jiang Huajin arrived at the Imperial Garden and smiled happily as he looked at the beautiful lotus pond in full bloom.

"What a beautiful lotus."

"It's very beautiful."

Hearing the sudden voice, Jiang Huajin turned around and ran over to hug Ji Chenyu's waist.

"Uncle Emperor, it's you."

"Why are you here alone with the palace maids? Where is your sister?"

Jiang Huajin was stunned: "Oh no, I lost my gentle, dignified, beautiful and generous elder sister."

Ji Chenyu laughed at her cute and adorable appearance and reached out to scratch her little nose.

"You, you."

"Your mother will be returning to the capital soon. Are you happy?"

Jiang Huajin's eyes lit up: "Really? Uncle Emperor, you are not lying to me?"

Ji Chenyu pursed his lips and smiled, and Luo Cheng hurriedly explained.

"Princess Chenyang, why would the emperor lie to you? This is good news from the border."

When Jiang Huajin heard this, he jumped up and down for joy and kept circling around Ji Chenyu and Luo Cheng.

"Great! Mother is finally back. Uncle Emperor, is my mother a hero?"

"A great hero." After more than a year, he finally got to see the Fourth Princess. He wondered what she looked like as a general now. She must be particularly majestic.

Suddenly Ji Chenyu started coughing, and Luo Cheng became anxious.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Ji Chenyu waved his hand: "I'm fine."

Seeing him coughing non-stop, Jiang Huajin's cute little face frowned.

"Grandmother, I have something to tell you."

The Queen Mother and Jiang Ziyi in the main hall saw her jumping in, smiled at each other and pursed their lips.

"Jin'er, what's the matter? It just so happens that the Royal Grandmother has good news to tell you."

"Really? What is it?" Jiang Huajin was instantly attracted when she heard it, and the Queen Mother pulled her to sit next to her.

"Of course, your mother, whom you miss day and night, is coming back."

"Uncle Emperor just told me about this."

The Queen Mother and Jiang Ziyi looked at each other in surprise.

"Where did you meet your uncle the Emperor?"

"The lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, but the Emperor uncle doesn't look well."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked: "What? Why is it not good?"

"I heard him coughing non-stop. Eunuch Luo was particularly worried. Imperial grandmother, what happened to the emperor's dragon body? Or did he catch a cold? Will he suddenly become like father?"

Her words were unintentional but the listeners took them seriously. The Queen Mother's face changed at this moment, and Jiang Ziyi immediately scolded Jiang Huajin when he saw it.

"Jin'er, stop talking."

"Grandmother, maybe the Emperor is just too tired recently. Let the imperial physician take good care of him."

The Queen Mother was thinking more and further ahead. She looked at Bai Yuechu seriously and gave him instructions.

"Please ask the Emperor to come over for dinner tonight and tell him that the two children want her company."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Jiang Ziyi thought her royal grandmother was so strange, and the next moment her arm was held by the Queen Mother.

"Ziyi, how are your medical skills?"

"I'm fine. Doctor Li and the others said I can travel around and treat patients."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt relieved.

"That's good."

When Shen Jiarou was passing through Yunzhou City on her way back to the capital, she decided to rest outside the city gate for a night. She also went to visit her eldest sister and her family.

Looking at the majestic and heroic general in white armor standing at the door, Butler Tang almost didn't recognize him.

"The Princess Regent?"

"Tang Bo, it's me."

"Please come in quickly. I will send someone to invite the Grand Princess and the Prince Consort immediately."

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you very much, it's troublesome."

The two sisters felt that they had met too late and hugged each other, reluctant to part.

Looking at the weather-beaten Fourth Princess, the eldest princess felt so distressed that she reached out and stroked the loose hair on Shen Jiarou's forehead.

"Why have you lost so much weight? It must be very hard to march and fight." Her sister, a beautiful and noble girl, had to endure such a hard life.

"Big sister, I'm fine. You see, although I'm thinner, my flesh is much firmer. You don't have to worry about me."

It would have been better if she didn't say it, but once she did, the Grand Princess felt even more distressed.

"I wonder how heartbroken my grandmother, mother, and brother would be to see you like this." She was a princess who had been brought up in pampered love, but now she had suffered so much.

Su Jiahe, who was standing by, couldn't bear it anymore. He was afraid that his wife would keep crying and waste their rare short time together.

"Princess, Fourth Sister is doing well now. It's rare that she managed to survive and return safely. We should be happy for her." The eldest princess was stunned when she heard her husband's words, and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.

"Look, I lost my composure in front of my fourth sister. You can't just remember the way my eldest sister lost her composure."

"I didn't see it just now, but my elder sister is gentle, dignified, generous and elegant."

The eldest princess, who was suddenly praised, lowered her head and smiled shyly.

"You, you are still as naughty as before. I hope you won't go to the war again when you go back this time." She has been worried all day for more than a year, and she doesn't want to go through such physical and mental torture again.

"I probably won't go. I have to go back tomorrow, and I don't know when we'll meet again."

"It's okay, big sister, as long as you are safe."
