The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

After Nanny Gui's matter was dealt with, the Queen Mother began to seriously induce the birth of the baby. Shen Jiarou felt distressed. Thinking of the upcoming fifteenth day, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, not wanting to think about it. However, those images kept appearing in her mind, making her feel annoyed.

Seeing their master frowning slightly, Ruan Qingling and Nan Qi were both very worried about her.

"My lady, the fifteenth day is not until the day after tomorrow, why are you worrying about it today?"

Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling and sighed: "I can't help it, and I can't either."

Although Ji Chenyu was obviously troubled by his mother's urging him to give birth, he was still happy when he thought that the other party was the person he wanted all his life. However, the other party was probably the exact opposite of him.

The fifteenth day arrived quickly, and Shen Jiarou couldn't avoid it, so she just gave in and lived a life of idleness for every hour.

Aunt Zhenhua brought Jiang Huajin to Fengyi Palace. When Shen Jiarou saw her daughter, her mood obviously improved.

"My son has met his mother."

"Jin'er is here. What have you been doing to pass the time in your palace these days?"

"I played handkerchief throwing, shuttlecock kicking, swinging, and needlework with my sisters. Oh, and we also played slingshots."

Shen Jiarou smiled when she heard that and reached out to gently stroke her daughter's head.

"Just adapt."

Jiang Huajin looked up at his gentle, dignified and generous mother and said, "Mother, when will my sister enter the palace? I miss her."

"Our Jin'er misses her sister, so the Queen Mother will send someone to bring her to the palace tomorrow."

"really?"

"of course."

Jiang Huajin was delighted to hear this: "Thank you, mother."

That’s great. I can see my elder sister tomorrow. Then I will let her stay in the palace for a few days.

With Jiang Huajin's company during the day, Shen Jiarou didn't feel anything was wrong. But when it was dinner time, she saw Ji Chenyu and Luo Cheng coming in, and she suddenly started to feel awkward.

If the queen mother had not urged her to give birth, perhaps she could have been more open with her brother. Unfortunately, her mother induced the birth in front of them, and it was too obvious that she wanted to escape.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

In private, she mostly called him Royal Brother, but today, for some reason, she blurted out "Your Majesty".

Ji Chenyu obviously sensed her awkwardness, but he still bent over and helped her up as usual.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The meal is ready. Let's eat."

"Okay." Ji Chenyu smiled gently and reached out to hold Shen Jiarou's hand. She trembled suddenly, and Ji Chenyu obviously felt it. He pretended to be calm and pulled her to the dining table.

After Luo Cheng finished testing the poison, Ji Chenyu started eating, and Shen Jiarou followed suit. She kept eating the white rice in the bowl and forgot about the food on the table.

Seeing her so embarrassed, Ji Chenyu couldn't help but smile gently and reached out to pick up some food for her.

"The Queen should eat more vegetables. She has lost weight recently."

Shen Jiarou was stunned: Has she lost weight recently? She didn't seem to notice it, perhaps because she was taking care of the Imperial Grandmother and dealing with the death of Aunt Gui.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You can eat too."

After finishing the meal, Ji Chenyu suggested taking a walk in the courtyard. Shen Jiarou accompanied him outside for a walk to digest the food. After walking for a while, it was too cold, so they went back into the main hall to chat.

After Shen Jiarou finished bathing, washing, changing her clothes and dressing, she was combing her hair with a jade comb. She was so absorbed in what she was thinking about that she didn't even notice when Ji Chenyu appeared behind her.

"What is the Queen thinking?"

Shen Jiarou was suddenly stunned. When she looked up and saw that it was Ji Chenyu, she was stunned.

"Your Majesty? Are you alright?"

"Well, is the Queen okay?"

Shen Jiarou nodded lightly.

"Then let's go to bed."

Ji Chenyu stretched out his hand towards her. Looking at the big hand so close to her, Shen Jiarou finally put her hand on it, stood up and walked to the phoenix couch side by side with Ji Chenyu.

At the edge of the bed, Ji Chenyu tilted his head to look at Shen Jiarou, who seemed indifferent, and finally sighed.

"You sleep inside, I'll sleep outside." He has to go to court tomorrow, so don't wake her up.

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly and lay down to the inside. As the people around her lay down, she became more and more nervous.

Ruan Qingling and Nan Qi lowered the bed curtains on both sides, then turned around and left, leaving only the couple in the bedroom.

Ji Chenyu turned sideways and looked at Shen Jiarou, only to see that she had closed her eyes. He slowly reached out and hugged her. Shen Jiarou was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight. I'll wait for you to slowly accept me. We have a long way to go."

That night he really just hugged Shen Jiarou and slept the whole night without any other actions.

When Shen Jiarou woke up, the warmth beside her was gone. Shen Jiarou sat up silently and looked at the pillow outside.

Guessing that she might have woken up, Nan Qi tiptoed in and found her sitting quietly.

"My lady, the water for washing is ready. Do you want to wash now?"

Shen Jiarou's thoughts were brought back to reality.

"it is good."

Ruan Qingling left the palace early today and went to the Regent Princess's Mansion to pick up Jiang Ziyi and went into the palace with her in a carriage.

"Princess Heshun, the queen should be having breakfast now. If you are still hungry, there are some prepared food in the secret compartment."

"Aunt Ruan, I understand. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shen Jiarou felt relieved by what happened last night. She had a good appetite today. She ate two bowls of eight-treasure porridge, a white flour bun, a corn flour bun, and a few steamed dumplings.

Mu Siqi walked in: "Your Majesty, Princess Heshun has arrived."

Shen Jiarou was just wiping her mouth. She was delighted when she heard the words and stood up by picking up her skirt.

"Walk."

Everyone followed, and Jiang Ziyi sat obediently at the bottom waiting for her mother's arrival. This was her first time entering the palace after her mother got married.

"Ziyi."

Shen Jiarou's voice arrived before she did. Jiang Ziyi turned around and saw her mother, who was dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes.

"Your son has seen the Queen Mother and wishes her well."

Shen Jiarou quickly stepped forward to help her up: "You must be tired, sit down and have a rest."

Shen Jiarou sat down next to her and asked her about her well-being, and Jiang Ziyi answered her questions one by one.

"Yu'er has been staying at your house to accompany me recently. I don't think it's a big deal, but I still think of my mother and Jin'er from time to time."

"This time you will stay in the palace for a few days, and you two sisters should spend some time with each other."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Thinking of her mother, Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but ask about her recent situation.

"Mother, have you adapted well to living in the palace recently?" Although the mother lives in the palace all year round, her previous status was always different from her current one.

"Mother is fine."

"Are the ministers going to be brothers and sisters soon?"

Shen Jiarou was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect that the eldest daughter would suddenly ask her about this.

Looking at her mother's expression, Jiang Ziyi knew that her mother and uncle the emperor must have done nothing yet.

"Mother, you are different now than you were before. It would be best if you and Uncle Emperor could have a child of your own."

Shen Jiarou sighed softly: "Mother understands."
