The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Watching the couple's backs as they left, Concubine Shun felt indescribable feelings in her heart.

"I never thought that the princess would come back one day, and come back as the queen." Not only did her daughter come back, but after the wedding, she also brought her new son-in-law to serve her tea in person.

This appreciation made her feel that all the good things that had been done to her were truly worth it.

She never thought that she would be able to drink tea from the queen's daughter and the emperor's son-in-law in this life. Her life was worth it.

After leaving Concubine Shun's palace, Ji Chenyu looked at the quiet Shen Jiarou.

"Is the Queen sleepy?"

"I am fine."

Ji Chenyu tried to find out: "Why don't we take a stroll back? It will help digest the food."

"Okay." Shen Jiarou smiled gently, her gentle and dignified temperament fully revealed.

On the palace roads, the two figures are so well matched, but it's a pity that they are not in love yet. Fortunately, they have the fate to know each other and become husband and wife.

On the way, they met palace maids one by one, and they all saluted respectfully. Shen Jiarou's every behavior was graceful and elegant, making Ji Chenyu feel for a moment that he saw his mother when she was young.

"Queen, you know, since you became the queen, you have become more and more like my former mother, but you are more gentle than my mother, and you also have a subtle coldness."

Shen Jiarou was surprised by his words. She had never seen her mother when she was young. When she first entered the palace, her brother was already a 15-year-old boy, and her mother was already over 50 years old.

Now that she heard her brother mention the Queen Mother, she became somewhat curious about her mother when she was young.

"Brother, what was our mother like when she was young?"

Ji Chenyu's thoughts drifted away: "Gentle, dignified, generous, noble, honorable, and majestic, especially in teaching me."

Shen Jiarou smiled softly: "It seems that I came to the palace at the right time. My mother is not that strict with me."

The queen mother was very strict with her and doted on her even more. Perhaps it was because she was not a prince, or perhaps it was because the queen mother at that time wanted her son to be successful, so she was a little spoiled to her daughter.

Ji Chenyu smiled softly and casually: "Yes, you are much luckier than me. Mother dotes on you more. But as a daughter, you should be spoiled more. Besides, you are a legitimate princess, and you are so considerate, well-educated, gentle, intelligent, sensible and filial. You are much more considerate than my son."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and joked: "Is your Majesty praising me, or are you praising me?"

"I am praising you."

Looking at the couple who were getting along happily and harmoniously, Nan Qi was happy for them. She always felt that the couple were a little too reserved, not as pleasing to the eye as ordinary couples. They were more harmonious than natural, with less affection and more respect and distance.

Yes, there is an invisible sense of distance.

The couple walked all the way back to Fengyi Palace. Ji Chenyu took the initiative to help Shen Jiarou sit on the phoenix chair, and sat down on the empty seat beside her.

"Empress, I think the jade comb given by your mother is more suitable for you. Luo Cheng, give the jade comb to the Queen."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Cheng respectfully presented the jade comb box to Shen Jiarou.

"Brother, this is not good."

"There's nothing wrong with that. We are husband and wife, and I'll give it to you as if it were given to me. When I come to stay overnight, I'll have to trouble the Queen to comb my hair for me."

Since God has made them husband and wife, he will not just be a nominal couple in front of outsiders. He wants more, not only the queen's body, but also her heart.

Now he was just taking precautions for the Queen and letting her get used to his presence and the days with him, so that he would be more adept at doing certain things in the future.

Seeing that he said so, Shen Jiarou finally reached out to take it.

But when she heard him say he would stay the night in the future, she paused.

Will my royal brother stay over again in the future?

He is not prepared to be her husband and wife in name only?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiarou was a little afraid to look at him. She used to treat him as her brother, but it was inevitable that she felt a little strange that he suddenly became her husband, and she was a little uncomfortable with his sudden change of husband status.

Shen Jiarou once thought that as long as she entered the palace and became a good queen, she would be fine. She never thought about having to be a good wife.

If this is the case, then does she have to continue to love and care for him in the future?

I thought that in this nominal husband-and-wife relationship, they just needed to treat each other with respect, but in the end they would become a couple in name only.

But right now, she is not ready to be a wife, and she still needs time to adapt.

As her thoughts drifted away, the small box in her hand fell down. She was shocked when she saw the silver bills inside.

Banknote?

Her mother actually gave her so many banknotes?

Shen Jiarou bent down to pick it up, but touched Ji Chenyu's outstretched hand, and she quickly pulled it back.

Ji Chenyu saw her helplessness, but did not rush her. Now that he was almost recovered, they had a lot of time to live.

"Give."

Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, Shen Jiarou calmly lowered her head and took it.

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Ji Chenyu smiled when he heard this: "In formal occasions, you call me Your Majesty, but in private, you still call me Brother Emperor."

Shen Jiarou was stunned, and raised her eyes slightly to look at him. Although her brother the emperor is now about to reach forty years old, he has always been as gentle as jade. Under the baptism of time, he has become more elegant. With a calm face, he has put away his majesty and appears easy-going.

"Concubine..."

"Forget it, as long as the Queen is happy. Should we also take a nap?"

Facing his polite inquiries, Shen Jiarou felt respected and revered. It must not be easy for the emperor and empress to do so.

Their marriage is a combination of the strong, with no one being weak or strong. Perhaps this kind of relationship can last longer. After all, a community of interests is the most lasting weapon for a relationship.

The two of them went into the bedroom to catch up on their nap, but the concubines in various parts of the harem had already woken up.

Concubine De of Zhaolan Palace was shocked by Ji Chenyu's appreciation of Shen Jiarou, and was also shocked by his appreciation of Concubine Shun.

"I didn't expect the emperor to value them so much."

Yuying said: "The Empress is the Emperor's biological sister. Now that they are married, it is understandable that she values ​​the Empress and Concubine Shun."

De Fei pursed her lips and nodded: "You are right."

The virtuous concubine of Yonghe Palace was extremely envious of Shen Jiarou's family background, and also envied her intelligence and good luck. Even though her husband had lost his wife, she was able to turn the tables and become a great general. Now she is even more proud to become the more honorable mother of a country, which is the position that a woman ultimately wants to reach in her life.

"Queen, what an honorable position it is. The Queen is so lucky. She has held all the honorable positions in the world." If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably become the Queen Mother in the future.

She is still young now, so it is possible for her to become the Empress Dowager.
