The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

At the banquet, Shen Jiarou and her children sat down in the seats originally reserved for the Regent Princess.

Facing the silent scrutiny of the courtiers, she remained calm and composed.

Not long after, Ji Chenyu came over with a majestic look.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone knelt respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Ji Chenyu scanned the entire room and finally his eyes fell on Shen Jiarou, who was dressed elegantly. He was stunned when he saw Nan Qi beside her.

"No need to be polite." He walked forward and stopped in front of Shen Jiarou. When Shen Jiarou saw the pair of shoes, she was slightly stunned.

What is he going to do?

The next moment, Ji Chenyu bent down and personally helped Shen Jiarou up.

"Queen, please wake up!"

Hearing his name, Shen Jiarou was completely stunned.

What on earth does he want to do?

Why couldn't she understand him?

The other party had already called her the queen, so she was still tactless and didn't know what was good for her, so she just let it go and said thank you.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing her self-introduction, Ji Chenyu's deep eyes froze for a moment, but the illusion was fleeting. However, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Shen Jiarou thought he was just in the mood to help her, but she never expected that he would turn around and hold her hand and walk straight to the main seat on the high seat.

Shen Jiarou suddenly paused: "Your Majesty..."

Ji Chenyu turned to look at her and said seriously: "You are now the queen. Although the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, the imperial decree has been issued and it is a fact. We are husband and wife, so naturally you should be on an equal footing with me."

Shen Jiarou was slightly stunned again, raised her eyes slightly, looked at his extremely serious expression, and finally compromised and followed him all the way to the high position.

Ji Chenyu helped her sit down respectfully. Such courteous treatment made Shen Jiarou stunned.

What on earth is the emperor going to do? She felt a little uneasy.

She had been a princess for more than twenty years and had seen all kinds of big scenes, but at this moment she still felt inexplicably nervous and fearful. Why was that?

Ji Chenyu sat down and looked at Luo Cheng and nodded to him. Luo Cheng nodded in understanding and turned around to take the tray brought by the palace servant behind him and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, here is what you want."

Ji Chenyu raised his hand and reached out to pick it up. The ministers below were secretly guessing his intention.

When Shen Jiarou saw clearly what it was, her eyes widened in shock.

Phoenix seal?

My brother is a little anxious.

Ji Chenyu turned around and faced Shen Jiarou with the Phoenix Seal in his hand. He took her jade hand with one hand and placed the Phoenix Seal on it himself.

"Royal brother, this is not possible...." If he wants to give it to her, it should be after the Phoenix Queen Ceremony. What does this mean now?

Ji Chenyu said, "Put it away. From tomorrow on, the harem will be officially under the management of the queen. I am not feeling well right now, and I am sorry for the queen's concern for the harem."

I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts.

When Shen Jiarou wanted to thank him, Ji Chenyu grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"Sit down. I have a few more announcements to make."

Shen Jiarou secretly guessed: Could it be about Ziwen and Ziyi’s promotion?

"Yes."

Originally, the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother should have been there, but they were old and didn't want to make trouble, so they sent someone to tell them.

Ji Chenyu looked at Master Wang and nodded slightly.

Wang Taifu received the information, picked up the "imperial edict" held by the palace servant behind him, and spoke to Jiang Ziwen and others.

"Crown Prince Jiang Ziwen, Princess Heshun Jiang Ziyi, Second Young Master Jiang Zihao, Third Young Master Jiang Ziheng, Fourth Young Master Tang Zixue, Princess Chenyang Jiang Huajin, Fifth Young Master Jiang Ziyong accept the order!"

The seven people knelt on the ground immediately, and Tutor Wang carefully read out the contents of the imperial edict.

"The regent princess has made great contributions and has made outstanding contributions. Considering that there is no other title for her, she is specially granted titles and rewards to benefit her children. The eldest son, Jiang Ziwen, is very talented, mature and steady, so he is specially granted the title of the third-rank county earl and a mansion.

The second son, Jiang Zihao, was both talented in civil and military affairs, and was specially granted the title of third-rank county earl and a mansion.

The third legitimate son was a chivalrous man, so he was specially granted the title of third-rank county earl and a mansion.

The fourth son, Tang Zi, was both talented and handsome, so he was specially granted the title of fourth-rank county prince and was given a mansion.

The fifth legitimate son, Jiang Ziyong, was extremely filial, so he was specially granted the title of fourth-rank county prince and was given a mansion.

The eldest daughter, Princess Heshun, Jiang Ziyi, was gentle, dignified, well-educated and sensible. She was promoted to the first-rank Princess Heshun and was granted a princess mansion and ten border counties as her fiefdom.

The second daughter, Princess Chenyang Jiang Huajin, is bright, charming, and filial. She is promoted to the first-rank Princess Chenyang. She is granted a mansion and ten counties along the border as her fiefdom. I decree this!"

The ministers were shocked after hearing the contents of the imperial edict. The emperor really doted on the children born to the empress and the previous prince consort. Each of them was specially granted a title and a mansion. The two princesses were also promoted to the first-rank princesses at the same time, and were also rewarded with fiefs. This favor was truly unique.

However, when they thought that the entire Leping Kingdom was conquered by the new queen, they felt balanced again.

Imperial Tutor Wang looked solemnly at the seven people kneeling before him and said, "Princess Heshuo, please accept my order."

As a man of higher rank and age, Jiang Ziyi presented it with both hands and spoke respectfully.

"We accept your order and thank you for your grace."

Shen Jiarou had expected the special titles, promotions and rewards for her children, but the fiefdoms for her two daughters were beyond her expectations.

Ji Chenyu looked at them tenderly and lovingly, and spoke to them lovingly.

"Everyone, take a seat. The celebration banquet is about to begin."

When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at the palace servant who was in charge of the musicians and dance and nodded, and the latter immediately clapped his hands.

"Opening dance, come in!"

The graceful dancers in their dance costumes danced lightly in the center of the stage. Their every smile and frown were charming and their every move was graceful and charming.

This was the first time Shen Jiarou appreciated palace dance after a year. When she recalled the scenes in which she had performed dance, it was already many years later.

Ji Chenyu raised his glass and toasted Shen Jiarou, saying, "Come on, Queen, as the regent princess and general, you led the soldiers to expel the Leping Kingdom, and at the same time, you continued to expand the territory of Dalin. I toast you a glass, and I'll drink it."

After he finished speaking, everyone saw him raise his head and drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After the palace banquet, Shen Jiarou said goodbye to Ji Chenyu and returned to Fanghua Palace to rest. Thinking that she had to go to Fengyi Palace to deal with things tomorrow, Shen Jiarou felt inexplicably irritable, and felt dizzy because of drinking.

Aunt Zhenhua had someone prepare some sobering soup early on, and she personally brought it to Shen Jiarou as soon as she entered the bedroom.

"Empress, please drink some sobering soup first."

Hearing her call, Shen Jiarou sobered up a little. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Aunt Zhenhua who was full of concern.

"Thank you, aunt."

Aunt Zhenhua smiled gently and easy-goingly, watching Shen Jiarou drink it slowly, and then handed her a candy. Shen Jiarou was slightly stunned when she saw it.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I would like to ask you a question."

"You say!"

"After you enter the East Palace, will this servant follow you closely, or do you have other arrangements?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and raised her eyes: "Let's take care of Princess Chenyang here."

Aunt Zhenhua was stunned: "Princess Chenyang? Did the little princess get promoted?"

"Yes."
