The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Not long after, Ji Chenyu's imperial edict was brought by Luo Cheng himself to the palace of Concubine Shun to be announced.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shun, who was warming herself by the fire, knelt down immediately to receive the order.

"The Emperor, by the order of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: Concubine Shun was frightened yesterday. To comfort her, she is promoted to Noble Concubine, and is awarded a red plum screen and a thousand taels of silver. This is my decree."

Luo Cheng looked at Concubine Shun and said with a smile: "Noble Concubine, please accept the order."

"The concubine accepts the order."

"Congratulations, congratulations to you."

Luo Cheng, who received a reward of ten taels of silver, left with a smile on his face.

Before the noble concubine could be happy for long, Nami from Fengyi Palace came with the palace maids, holding a nanmu box.

"Your servant greets the noble concubine. May your majesty be hello."

Hearing her title, the Noble Concubine immediately understood. It seemed that she had benefited from her daughter's promotion to the current Noble Concubine. Among the elders, her position and rank were higher except for the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

"Aunt Nami, please stand up. Why are you here?"

"I am delivering this small nanmu box on behalf of the Empress Dowager. Please accept it."

The noble concubine looked at Shen Yirou and ordered, "Take it."

"Yes, Noble Concubine."

After they left, driven by curiosity, the noble concubine opened the box, and inside was a bracelet made of gold beads.

"Your Majesty, this gift from the Queen is beautiful and valuable."

The noble concubine couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that this was another gift from her daughter to calm her down.

Concubine Li did not expect that after many years of the late emperor's death, she would have the opportunity to be promoted again.

The eunuch who announced the imperial edict handed the imperial edict to her, and Concubine Li... no, Concubine Li was extremely excited.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for taking the trouble to come here. Aunt Qingya, give father-in-law five taels of hard work fee."

"Yes, Concubine Li."

Princess Yu didn't expect that the Emperor and Empress would spare her, or to be more precise, spare her and her grandchildren. She was so moved that she cried while holding the imperial edict.

"I thank the Lord for his grace." Thank you, His Majesty.

However, Princess Yu will not be able to attend this year's family dinner, so she can only wait until next year.

Ji Chenyu from Fengyi Palace listened to Shen Jiarou's analysis and agreed with her.

"Okay, then we'll do as the Queen said and appoint my eldest brother as Prince Regent, the Crown Prince as Prince Rong, his legitimate son as Crown Prince, and Princess Muxue as Princess Muxue." His Rou'er always considered everything for him.

The eldest brother is the regent. As the oldest one, he will not be the regent for many years even if he continues to be the regent. At most, he will be more than ten years old. After all, he is already fifty-two years old.

The original title of Prince Rong was retained and directly inherited by his son. The son of the son could also become the son of the prince. His sister Mu Xue also became a princess of the first rank, and the whole family moved up to a higher level.

Along with the former prince consort, his family has also become prosperous. Among the brothers, the eldest prince is doing the best.

At the family dinner, Ji Chenyu came over supporting Shen Jiarou, who was wearing a loose phoenix robe.

The princes and other young men bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

The concubines, imperial concubines, princesses, crown princes, and concubines all bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty. I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Ziwen, Jiang Ziyi and others bowed politely: "I pay my respects to my uncle the Emperor, and I pay my respects to my mother the Queen."

After all the royal family members had paid their respects to the emperor and empress, the empress dowager also came to the family banquet with the support of Bai Yuechu.

"See the Queen Mother."

Ji Chenyu supported Shen Jiarou, and just as Shen Jiarou was about to salute, the Queen Mother quickly stopped her.

"Oh, ancestor, you can't bow, don't press your belly."

Ji Chenyu lowered his head and smiled gently: "Since the Queen Mother doesn't allow you to perform the ceremony, then listen to her. The heir to the throne is the most important."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, mother."

The Queen Mother now likes Shen Jiarou in every way, more than before. Her eyes are so gentle and loving that everyone is almost covered in calluses from looking at her.

The old ancestor, the Empress Dowager, walked in amid the expectant gazes of everyone.

"See the Queen Mother."

Shen Jiarou had just been helped by Ji Chenyu to stand up and prepare to salute when she was again called "ancestor" by the Empress Dowager.

"Hey, girl, don't press on your belly. Come on, Emperor, help the Queen sit down. Don't tire her out."

Shen Jiarou didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your understanding, but I won't be tired from standing for such a while."

The Empress Dowager didn't care: "That won't work either. For the sake of the prince and princess in your belly, you have to sit down. Everyone, please sit down. Family banquets should be more casual."

Everyone waited until the Grand Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress sat down before they sat down in turn.

Halfway through the family dinner, Ji Chenyu suddenly looked at the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother.

"Grandmother, mother, I have discussed with the Queen and plan to announce on this auspicious day that my eldest brother will be the Regent, and his legitimate son, the Crown Prince, will inherit his title of King Rong, and his legitimate son will be the Crown Prince."

Then he looked at Princess Mu Xue, smiled gently and spoke.

"Mu Xue is also a first-rank princess. What do you think?"

The Grand Empress Dowager understood that he was rewarding and comforting his eldest grandson's family. Now that the Queen was pregnant and the court and harem were gradually returning to stability, she, who was old, did not intend to interfere in political and family affairs.

"You two can do whatever you want. I just want to wait for the great-grandchildren in the queen's belly to come out. I hope I can live a few more years and see the birth of your second child. Then I will be satisfied and have the face to see my ancestors."

If the queen could give birth to two more princes for the emperor, her heart would be more at peace and she would be able to rest in peace after her death.

Ji Chenyu frowned: "Grandmother, don't say such unlucky things on such a happy day."

"Okay, okay, you guys can decide for yourselves, but the boss's family."

Prince Rong quickly responded, "Hey, Grandmother."

"Well, you are already an adult. You should assist the emperor well in the future. Your wife should also take good care of the officials and wives of the royal family for the empress so that the empress can take good care of her pregnancy."

Princess Rong bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Grandmother, I will obey your order."

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone sit down, let's enjoy the song and dance performance together."

Shen Jiarou's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Ji Chenyu was getting more and more anxious.

Thinking of the rift between her mother and the Empress Dowager, Shen Jiarou decided to let them open up to each other. After all, both elders were very old, and there was no need for them to be awkward with each other when they got old.

In Anhe Palace, the Queen Mother frowned as she looked at Laihe's daughter.

"The Emperor sent you here? Or someone else?"

"I came here by myself. Mother, you and the Empress Dowager are both old. Please stop quarreling."

"Hmph, that rift can't be eliminated so easily." Looking at her daughter's helpless expression, the Queen Mother sighed.

"I don't believe you don't have a grudge against me for what I did that day. Thinking of forcing you to marry the emperor for good luck, you must hate me, your mother, in your heart."

Shen Jiarou sighed: "Isn't it wrong for me to resent you?"

"You...never mind. It's all in the past. Just be good to each other as a couple in the future."

"Mother, I am only telling you the truth. I did not say that I want to blame you now. Please give me a way out because I am so considerate and have worked so hard to be pregnant."

Seeing that she rarely acted like a spoiled child to her, the Queen Mother couldn't help but nod.

"Okay, I owe you this." Shen Jiarou smiled when she heard this. Her mother was quite cute.
