The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"Why did you agree to let Lord Tang resign and return home?" She wanted to hear the reasons why the two agreed.

The couple looked at each other silently, and Shen Jiarou spoke first.

"Mother, Dad has been an official for many years. Now he is old and cannot handle official business as well as younger officials."

The Queen Mother frowned: "Is this it?"

Ji Chenyu continued, "Not only that, Lord Tang is already an old minister. His resignation and return home will have some impact on other old ministers. Whether they are voluntary or forced, it will cause some trouble. We will also have more time to send our own people up and indirectly disintegrate the officials hiding in the dark and the power behind the scenes."

"There are so many things you can do, why do you have to let Lord Tang sacrifice himself? He is a senior official of the second rank. Queen, this will have a great impact on you. Are you sure you have thought it through?"

Shen Jiarou looked at Ji Chenyu, only to see him speak solemnly.

"Mother, I have thought about this for a long time. Don't worry, they should be very busy in the past month."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You can do whatever you want. As long as it does not affect my power and status, it's fine. I am old and can't care about so many things anymore."

Being a parent is really not easy, you spend your whole life worrying about your children.

Seeing that she was comforted, the couple felt relieved. Fortunately, the queen mother was a person who listened to advice.

Seeing that it had been a month since the couple got married and still no good news had come, the Queen Mother became a little anxious.

"Yuechu, could it be that the emperor is really unable to have children anymore?" If that was the case, she would really want to cry to death.

Bai Yuechu leaned over and comforted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen have only been married for more than a month, so it is normal that there is no good news."

The two of them probably haven't consummated their marriage yet, so how can there be any good news?

After this period of time, under Shen Jiarou's professional and careful treatment and care, Ji Chenyu's body has returned to normal.

Ji Chenyu was very excited when he learned about this and sincerely thanked Shen Jiarou for her hard work and care during this period.

"Thank you Queen for your hard work and care during this period of time. Otherwise, I would not have recovered so quickly."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and looked up: "My emperor, you are joking. This is all my responsibility."

No matter he is her brother, the emperor, or her husband, she has the responsibility and obligation to take good care of him.

The next morning, Shen Jiarou did not attend the morning court today. After breakfast, she came to Fanghua Palace.

The laughter coming from inside made her feel as if she was back in her childhood, swinging on the swings with her third sister and others. Those days were fulfilling and interesting. But now they have all grown up and have gone out to live their own lives. Those leisurely and comfortable days will never come back.

"Sister Lanxi, push it up a little bit." Xiang Lanxi, the 18-year-old head maid, was Jiang Huajin's personal maid in the Regent Princess's Mansion. Now she followed her into the palace and lived in Fanghua Palace, becoming the head maid.

"Okay, Princess, is this okay?"

"can."

Jiang Huajin smiled happily, like the bright sun. Her smile was as bright as Shen Jiarou's when she was young, while her sister Jiang Ziyi's gentleness was more like the gentle Shen Jiarou when she was young. Both sisters inherited Shen Jiarou's advantages very well.

Nan Qi looked at Shen Jiarou and asked in a low voice: "My Lady, shall we go in?"

"Let's go."

The palace maid hurriedly said, "The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone in the courtyard knelt and bowed, "Your servant/servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

Jiang Huajin got up from the swing and bowed to Shen Jiarou, who was dressed elegantly.

"My son has met his mother."

"No need to be polite. My mother hasn't come to see you recently. How do you spend your time?"

"I am learning the rules and regulations taught by Aunt Zhenhua, as well as needlework, and how to read and write."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou smiled and nodded.

"Okay, if you don't understand something, don't be ashamed to ask."

"My son understands."

Shen Jiarou took her hand and walked towards the main hall. Aunt Zhenhua and Mo Wen hurried over.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Aunt Zhenhua, Aunt Mowen, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Queen."

Jiang Huajin was pulled by Shen Jiarou to sit in the main seat. Looking at the familiar palace, Shen Jiarou sighed that time flies. Now the oldest of her children is in their teens and they will have to get married in two years.

Su Yude, the chief steward who used to accompany her, now works with her in Fengyi Palace. Mo Wen, the former deputy chief steward, has become the chief steward of Fanghua Palace. Many people and things are changing.

"Aunt, I will have lunch with the princess in Fanghua Palace today. Please ask the kitchen to prepare more grilled meat and vegetables."

"Yes, Queen, I will prepare it now."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and nodded, then looked at the second daughter who had been sitting quietly.

"Jin'er, you should go and spend time with your royal grandmother and royal great-grandmother on weekdays."

"I understand. The Empress Dowager and the Concubine Shun are both there. I also often accompany my great-grandmother to play with birds and appreciate chrysanthemums."

"Be good, Jin'er."

Compared to the warmth of Fanghua Palace, Ji Chenyu, who was dealing with memorials in the imperial study, was a little irritable.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea to cool down."

"The memorials written by these officials are just nonsense, such as hello, emperor, I miss you, how's the weather here, etc. I really want to take off their official hats. They waste my precious time reviewing them. By the time I review the truly useful information, the opportunity has been lost."

Luo Cheng replied with a wry smile: "It has been like this for many years, and we can't change it in a short time."

Ji Chenyu sighed: "It's so annoying. Oh, by the way, where is the queen?"

"I heard that he went to Fanghua Palace to see Princess Chenyang. I'm afraid he will have to have lunch in Fanghua Palace."

Thinking of the mother and daughter whom he hadn't seen for a few days, Ji Chenyu felt a little guilty towards them.

"They should see each other more often to cultivate their relationship. By the way, is Jin'er getting used to it these days?"

"According to the information I sent someone to find out, Princess Chenyang is still happy every day."

Ji Chenyu felt relieved when he heard that. If the child was fine, the Queen would feel more at ease. He asked her to marry him. He didn't want the relationship between husband and wife and the emperor and queen to become a burden in her life.

At the dining table, Jiang Huajin, with his biological mother by his side, enjoyed everything he ate and drank.

"Mother, please try this stir-fried white radish seedlings. It's so fresh and tasty."

"Okay, mother, try it."

Shen Jiarou picked up the dish her daughter picked for her. It tasted crispy and full of fresh flavor.

"It's really good. It's better for Jin'er to eat more vegetarian dishes."

"This roasted corn cake is pretty good. It tastes sweet and fragrant. You should try it too."

Jiang Huajin took a bite and nodded happily: "Mm, mother, it's so fragrant and sweet. Eating with you is even more fragrant and sweeter."

Looking at the smile on her face, Shen Jiarou's indifferent heart was healed.
