The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou got on the bed and lay down on the inner side. When she felt Ji Chenyu lying down, she placed her hands uncomfortably on her belly.

Ji Chenyu tilted his head slightly to look at her and spoke gently.

"Go to sleep. The Queen has been busy all day."

Shen Jiarou nodded silently and closed her eyes. She was so tired that she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing how she was so heartless and unguarded towards him, Ji Chenyu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

At this moment, he suppressed the desire in his heart, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Jiarou slept until dawn. It was the wedding of the emperor and empress, and Ji Chenyu had wedding leave. He could rest for two days without having to go to court, so Shen Jiarou could sleep so deeply and sweetly for a long time.

Ruan Qingling and Nan Qi tiptoed to the outside of the bed in the bedroom, looked at the sleeping couple silently, and then nodded in unison.

Ruan Qingling said, "Empress, you should get up and help the Emperor wash up."

Shen Jiarou woke up in a daze and was stunned when she heard her words.

Help the emperor wash?

She tilted her head to look outside and was startled to see the man sleeping peacefully.

"Brother Royal?"

Ji Chenyu was awakened by her movement. He opened his eyes and sat up, looking at Shen Jiarou who was looking at him in shock.

"What's wrong? The Queen doesn't recognize me?"

Shen Jiarou smiled awkwardly: "No, my brother misunderstood."

Oh my God, she actually forgot that she had gotten married yesterday and her brother was staying overnight. Suddenly, a man was lying next to her, which scared her.

Seeing that both of them had woken up, Ruan Qingling and others stood respectfully.

Shen Jiarou thought that as a new daughter-in-law, she had to serve tea to her mother and even the Empress Dowager, so she hurried to the bed, lifted the curtain and got out of bed.

Ji Chenyu smiled when he saw her: It turns out that the queen is actually quite cute in private. She has a gentle and dignified face, and she still looks like a girl.

Shen Jiarou began to help Ji Chenyu wash and change clothes. She was in a dilemma when she was putting the belt on him.

Oh no, how should I wear this belt? It will have to be close to his body.

Although they were husband and wife now, it was only in name only. She still felt a little embarrassed to be asked to put on the belt for him.

Nan Qi saw that her own queen must be feeling uncomfortable, so she had to help her.

"Empress, please help the Emperor put on his belt. You will also have to tie his hair later."

Shen Jiarou sighed when she heard this: Nan Qi was right, she had to speed up, she hadn't even started cleaning up yet.

She approached Ji Chenyu with the dragon-patterned belt, put her arms around his waist, and put it on quickly and awkwardly, then picked up the dragon robe and put it on him.

"Brother, it's done. Please go to the dressing table and I will tie your hair for you."

Ji Chenyu nodded lightly, then leisurely walked over and sat down.

Shen Jiarou quickly tied his hair. Due to her experience in tying hair for the prince consort, she worked very quickly. She finished before Ji Chenyu had even enjoyed the service of his wife. Ji Chenyu was even a little reluctant to leave.

"I'll wait for you on the couch."

"Yes. My brother."

Inside Anhe Palace, the Queen Mother looked towards the entrance of the main hall with an anxious and expectant look on her face. Bai Yuechu saw her like this and pursed his lips and covered his face with a smile.

"Queen Dowager, don't worry. The palace maids sent back a message saying that the Emperor and Empress have already gotten up and are washing, changing clothes, and dressing up in Fengyi Palace. I think they will be here soon."

"I was just a little impatient."

The daughter who was raised with great care and pampering since childhood suddenly became a new daughter-in-law. She felt happy, satisfied, excited and nervous.

The couple packed up and took a sedan chair all the way to Anhe Palace, where they stopped. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Ji Chenyu helped Shen Jiarou to the main hall.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

The Queen Mother was delighted when she saw it.

"The beginning of the month is here!"

"I heard it, too."

As soon as she finished speaking, the newlyweds came in one after another.

"My sons and ministers see their mother and queen."

"Your son...your concubine pays homage to the Queen Mother." Shen Jiarou was stunned for a moment, and finally changed her self-proclaimed name.

Ji Chenyu looked at her and said, "The Queen doesn't need to call herself a concubine to the Queen Mother. Just follow the old ways."

Shen Jiarou looked at the Queen Mother, who smiled gently and lovingly.

"The emperor is right. Although my mother is your mother-in-law now, she is still your mother. We should follow the old ways between mother and daughter."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and bowed: "Yes, mother, I understand."

The Queen Mother waved at her. Shen Jiarou slowly walked forward and stopped. The Queen Mother took her hand and sat down.

"Did you have a good rest last night?"

Shen Jiarou didn't want to answer any more: "Very good."

Seeing that she looked and acted as usual, the Queen Mother felt a little disappointed.

It seems that the couple has not yet performed the ceremony of marriage, which means that their status as husband and wife has not yet been confirmed.

Luo came up with two cups of freshly brewed tea.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the tea is ready."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at the two of them and spoke.

"Okay, let's get started."

Shen Jiarou stood up and stood in front of the empress dowager, reaching out to pick up the teacup. Bai Yuechu signaled to the palace servant, who quickly picked up the futon that had been prepared on the side and placed it in front of Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou understood what her mother meant when she saw it, and she bent down and knelt with the teacup in hand.

"Mother, please have some tea!"

"Oh, good child." The queen mother took a sip, then put it down and picked up the green and white jade pendant with a heart-shaped knot that she had prepared earlier and handed it to her.

"In the future, husband and wife should be of one mind, and their strength can break metal. They should support each other and respect each other like guests."

"I will remember your teachings and advice, thank you for your reward."

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and nodded: It turns out that it is best to raise your own child. His every move shows the filial piety of a noble family.

After Ji Chenyu served the tea, the empress dowager looked at the two of them and reminded them.

"After you've served tea to the Grand Empress Dowager, you should also go and serve tea to the Grand Concubine Shun. We are already family, and now we are even closer, so you should go."

The couple said in unison, "Yes, mother."

The two of them took their leave and went to Fushou Palace to offer tea. Looking at the couple of equally noble births walking side by side, the Empress Dowager's eyes were full of tenderness and love.

"coming."

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother, best wishes to the Imperial Grandmother."

"Stop with the formalities." The legitimate grandson and his legitimate granddaughter were newly married, and the Empress Dowager was in a very good mood as they were close relatives.

Aunt Zhen came forward with some brewed tea.

"Grand Empress Dowager, the tea is ready, but shall we serve it now?"

"Here's some tea."

"Yes."

Shen Jiarou held the teacup and knelt on the soft cushion to serve tea.

"Grandmother, please have some tea."

The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly and held out her hand: "Okay."

After she finished drinking, she turned around and took out a bracelet of excellent quality and valued at one thousand taels.

"This is a small gift from the Empress Dowager. I hope you and your spouse can support each other."

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of my grandmother."

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly: "Aunt Zhen, please help me to support the Queen."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Aunt Zhen was the Empress Dowager's personal maid. The one she supported represented the Empress Dowager herself.

"Your Majesty, let me help you stand up."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhen."

"You're welcome."

When it was Ji Chenyu's turn to offer tea, the Empress Dowager gave him a ring worth a thousand taels.

"Emperor, from now on the Queen is not only your sister, but also your wife who will accompany you for your whole life. You must respect her and pamper her." In the past, they were just siblings, so he just had to pamper her. Now that they are husband and wife, he should respect her.

As for whether they will love each other in the future, we will see later. Feelings can be cultivated, just like Princess Yongkang and her husband Jiang Ruofan.
