The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

After the eldest princess completed her third bath, the third prince was washed and wiped by the empress dowager as agreed upon, with the noble concubine helping on the side.

"Queen Mother, look at how adorable the Third Prince is."

The Queen Mother was also very happy: "Yes, come, Noble Concubine, you also clean and wipe the Third Prince."

"Okay, please be careful." She handed the third prince to the queen mother, who took it with loving care.

"Be good, our Third Prince. Your grandmother will help you clean and wipe it."

The Third Prince also smiled at the Royal Concubine. His adorable look melted everyone's heart, especially the Grand Empress Dowager, who were all looking forward to the Second Princess's third birthday celebration.

When Luo Cheng saw that it was completed, he smiled and announced it loudly.

"The Third Prince's third-day bathing ceremony is complete. Please invite our Grand Empress Dowager to bathe the Second Princess."

Aunt Zhen and a personal maid held the Empress Dowager tightly. She carefully picked up the clean and soft handkerchief and wrung it dry. Looking at the Second Princess held by Ji Chenyu, she began to gently clean and wipe her.

"Second Princess, your great-grandmother has given you a third birthday."

The painters on the side painted these warm and important scenes into their paintings.

Seeing that it was ready, Luo Cheng announced loudly: "The second princess's third bathing ceremony is complete!"

Concubine Dowager De stepped forward and put the red bellyband she had embroidered on the second princess. On it was the word "peace lock" inscribed in gold, which looked lifelike.

Concubine An raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled: "Look how beautiful our second princess looks in the bellyband embroidered by my sister."

The Regent Princess was holding the Second Prince, who was also wearing a red bellyband. The pattern on his bellyband was a lifelike goldfish, which was embroidered by the Third Princess Ji Chenxi herself as a gift for him. When the mother and daughter learned that Shen Jiarou was pregnant, they agreed to embroider eight pieces each, two for each child.

"Second Prince, take a look at the bellyband your second sister is wearing."

The Regent smiled and pinched his little feet. The Second Prince giggled, and the eldest princess, who was holding the eldest princess, was delighted to see this.

"Empress, look at how happy the Second Prince is smiling."

Shen Jiarou reached out and gently scratched her son's face, then smiled at Ji Chenyu.

The eldest princess of the Su family and the amused third prince, who was in Xie Suhang's arms, reached out to touch the koi fish on his big sister's red bellyband, and was almost drooling from laughter. Xie Lianxiang quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

“Look at our Third Prince, his saliva is about to drip.” Fu Liyong, who was standing next to Xie Lianxiang, laughed when he heard this.

"Kids are like that."

Fu Zhimei, who came with her parents to attend the third-day bathing ceremony of the princes and princesses, is now the mistress of the house at the age of 20. She stood aside and watched the joyous children quietly.

The day after the third bath, Jiang Ziyi came to bid farewell to her mother reluctantly.

"Mother, I am about to go on a diplomatic mission back to the allied country. Now that I have brothers and sisters, you must not forget me."

Looking at her eldest daughter who looked reluctant, Shen Jiarou caressed her delicate face with a loving look.

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't let your imagination run wild. You are all born of the Queen Mother. You are brothers and sisters from the same mother. The Queen Mother can forget anyone but she will never forget you."

Jiang Huajin came with her freshly made hawthorn slices and osmanthus cake.

"Big sister, I finally caught up." She hurriedly saluted Shen Jiarou and handed a food box in her hand to Jiang Ziyi.

"Big sister, this is the most successful one I've ever made. You can take it with you on the road."

Jiang Ziyi was very happy to see her sister working hard to prepare food for her.

"Thank you, big sister likes it very much. Our Jin'er has grown up. When I'm not around, you have to work harder and take care of mother and my brothers and sisters."

Jiang Huajin nodded with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, big sister, I will definitely not be lazy."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi almost burst out laughing.

Shen Jiarou was still in confinement after giving birth and was unable to see her eldest daughter off in person. Seeing her about to walk out of the main hall door, Shen Jiarou was very reluctant to let her go.

"Ziyi, your mother is waiting for you in the palace."

Jiang Ziyi turned around and tried hard not to let her tears fall.

"Yes, mother." Then she turned around and left with Jiang Huajin, coming to the place where the delegation from the previous dynasty gathered, which was also where Dalin saw the delegation off.

The two sisters saluted obediently in front of Ji Chenyu: "Greetings, Uncle Emperor."

Ji Chenyu looked at Jiang Ziyi, who had just turned 15 last year, and personally bent down to help her up.

"No need for the formality." Then he looked at Luo Cheng and stretched out his hand, took a golden safety lock from him and put it on her personally.

"This is a golden safety lock that your uncle the emperor had made for you. It contains a safety charm that your mother wrote for you. It has been placed in a Buddhist temple for worship for more than a month. You must not take it off."

"Yes."

Looking at the little girl who has grown into a big girl, Ji Chenyu smiled with relief.

"When our Ziyi returns safely, the Emperor will select a prince consort for you to marry, okay?"

Jiang Ziyi smiled gently and nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Weiyan, who was in the crowd, felt nervous when he heard this. It seemed that he had to be more dedicated on the road. It would be best if Ziyi fell in love with him and had feelings for him, so that he could become her legitimate son-in-law.

Ji Chenyu looked at Jiang Weiyan, Jiang Ziyi followed his gaze and found Jiang Weiyan in the crowd.

Why is it him?

What's the meaning of his tight clothes?

Could he be one of the members of this delegation?

"Jiang Weiyan, Dou Wenzong and other envoys are accompanying you on your mission back to Meng State. Come, both of you, meet the princess."

Jiang Weiyan bowed respectfully to Jiang Ziyi and said, "I, the military official, pay my respects to Princess Heshun."

Dou Wenzong said: "I, the Minister of Rites, come to see Princess Heshun."

They were actually familiar with each other, but Jiang Ziyi didn't expect them to be in her entourage.

Jiang Weiyan was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of War, responsible for the rank and selection of military officers.

Dou Wenzong was a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites, which was a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Rites. He was in charge of receiving and granting gifts to ethnic minorities and foreign guests and envoys, and issuing orders to confer titles and official titles to various foreign countries.

Jiang Ziyi nodded politely to the two of them, and then the Minister of Rites reminded her.

"Your Majesty, Princess, it's getting late. The delegation should set off."

Ji Chenyu nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Ziyi and gave him a serious instruction.

"Have a safe trip. Your uncle the Emperor, your mother, and your brothers and sisters are all waiting for your return in the capital."

Jiang Ziyi bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Uncle Emperor, take care. Ziyi is leaving."

Ji Chenyu nodded reluctantly and watched Jiang Ziyi turn around and leave.

Lin Shuhua helped Jiang Ziyi get on the carriage carefully. There were ten palace maids and ten eunuchs accompanying her. In addition, Ji Chenyu assigned her ten guards to escort and protect her.

Looking at the carriage and the team going away, the tall and slender Ji Chenyu stood upright and watched the delegation leave.

Ziyi, come back safely, and then your uncle the Emperor will choose the best prince consort for you.

After leaving the palace, Zhaermu, the captain of the guards, led twenty guards from Princess Heshun's mansion and followed closely on both sides of Jiang Ziyi's carriage. When the personal guards arrived, the other guards stood still, waiting for them to join the team before continuing to move forward.
