The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"Mother, I have asked the royal family to arrange for their children of appropriate age to attend the Royal School. Princess Chenyang will also be enrolled, but in the Shangshufang school, which is separate from the boys."

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with his arrangement.

"That's great, but Jin'er just came to bother the Queen, saying that she didn't want to study in the Imperial Academy. I'm afraid that I've spoiled her too much in the past few years. When the time comes, I'll have to ask the Grand Tutor and the others to bear with her."

Ji Chenyu glanced at Shen Jiarou who was holding the eldest princess, then pursed his lips and nodded.

The Regent smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. The Emperor has asked the ministers to select two daughters of the right age to study with her. Now that Jin'er has a playmate, there's no need to worry that she won't love studying."

"The Regent is right. You two brothers have worked hard every day. Let's have lunch together at the Queen's place today."

The Regent cupped his hands and said, "Yes, mother."

When the Empress Dowager learned that the Regent and Ji Chenyu were having lunch in Fengyi Palace and that the Empress Dowager was also present, and heard that the entire meal was harmonious, she smiled with relief.

"This is rare, and the eldest brother's family can be considered a blessing in disguise. I hope they can learn from the fate of the fifth and tenth brothers."

Aunt Zhen said, "Don't worry, Grand Empress Dowager. The Prince Regent is the oldest and can see things clearly. Prince Rong, Xiao's father, won't be too bad either."

"You're right. I'm tired. Please help me take a nap." As long as her children and grandchildren are well, that's enough. She is old and can't care too much.

After returning to the Allied Kingdom, Jiang Ziyi was often taken out to the grassland to gallop on horseback by the eldest prince Lakaqi and the second prince Jesta.

"Hey, cousin, shall we have a horse race?"

Jiang Ziyi, who was on horseback, looked at the eldest prince Lakaqi and refused: "No, cousin, I only know how to ride a horse and gallop. I can't compare with you people who have been on the grassland for a long time." She knew her own weight.

The second prince Zesta looked at the two men beside her.

"If you can't do it, they can. It just so happens that we are two to two. Anyway, it's just for fun and relaxation. There's no need to take it too seriously."

Jiang Ziyi looked at Jiang Weiyan and Dou Wenzong, and they agreed immediately.

"First Prince, Second Prince, I agree."

"I agree."

The second prince Zesta smiled cheerfully: "Great, let's start now."

"Okay, go ahead."

"drive."

Four brave men galloped on their horses across the endless grassland, the sun shone on them, the strong wind blew on their faces, and they were invincible.

Jiang Ziyi and Lin Shuhua, who had already kept a distance behind him, suddenly rode slowly on their horses to watch.

"Princess, look, they are all running away."

"It's okay, just let them feel their freedom."

In the palace, the sixty-year-old king looked at the palace where he had lived all his life and missed the outside world.

"The Queen has arrived!"

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

The fifty-seven-year-old queen looked at her husband with gray hair and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I have seen you."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to bow." He personally bent down to help his beloved queen up and took her to sit at the table.

"Queen, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak. I am listening."

The king fiddled with the jade ring on his finger and said, "I want to pass the throne to the eldest prince, Lakaqi."

The queen was suddenly stunned.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Neither you nor I are young anymore. It's time for us to abdicate and let the children rule. We might as well go out and see the customs and practices of the country while we are still alive. What do you think, Queen?"

"I will obey you."

Upon returning to the palace and learning that his father and mother were looking for him, the eldest prince Lakachi hurried to the king's bedroom and unexpectedly found that his mother was there too.

"Your son pays homage to his father, the king, and to his mother, the queen."

"No need to be polite, Lakaqi, take a seat."

"Thank you, father."

The king looked at his eldest son seriously and said, "Father has discussed with your mother and decided to abdicate."

The eldest prince, Lakaqi, was startled and immediately fell to his knees.

"Father, what did I do wrong?" Why would he abdicate for no reason?

When the king saw this, he immediately asked Mu Leihe to help him up.

"Why are you so excited? Your father and your mother just want to see a wider world. Why, as sons, do you want to stop us?"

The eldest prince, Lakaqi, immediately bowed his hands and said, "I dare not."

"In that case, I will announce this matter at the court tomorrow morning. We will wait until the enthronement ceremony for you and your wife is completed before leaving." The couple had made up their minds that when the time comes, they would follow the Dalin delegation to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dalin, and also to visit the princess whom they had not seen for many years.

On the sunny second day, the king sat on the main seat and accepted the homage of civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"No need to be polite. I have an important announcement today."

Seeing how serious he was, the court officials all felt a little suspicious.

The second prince, Zesta, was also curious. He looked at his eldest brother who was calm and composed.

"Brother, do you know what our father is going to announce?"

Just as the eldest prince, Lakaqi, was about to speak, the king interrupted him.

"Where is the eldest prince?"

"My son is here."

"I have been on the throne for many years, and it is time for me to step down and let others take over. From now on, Meng Kingdom will be handed over to you."

The court officials were all shocked. Was the king going to abdicate and let someone else take over?

This was too sudden, there was no sign at all.

"My son, I obey."

The king then looked at his second son, Jesta, and ordered: "From now on, Second Prince, you will serve as the regent and assist your brother."

The second prince, Jesta, bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, father."

This happened too suddenly, and he didn't even get any news of it.

Princess Xiangui's Mansion

Housekeeper Qiyana quickly came to Jiang Ziyi who was talking to Jiang Weiyan and Dou Wenzong.

"Princess, there is news from the palace that the king has abdicated and the eldest prince will inherit the throne, and the second prince will serve as regent."

The three people were dumbfounded by this shocking news.

"what?"

In the palace, the king was thinking about his upcoming trip and was so happy that he felt like flying.

In the Jiemei Palace, since the queen learned of her husband's decision, she began to arrange for people to clean up and vacate the place so that the new queen could move in.

The eldest prince's wife didn't expect that after being the eldest prince's wife for so many years, she would suddenly be promoted to queen. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. The next day, Jiang Ziyi saw a dark circle under the corner of her eye.

"Cousin Wang's wife, you didn't sleep all night?" Could it be that you were so excited about the sudden promotion that you couldn't sleep?

Now that she was the queen, she smiled and said, "I am so sorry to have made a fool of myself, my cousin."

"It's okay, but cousin Wang's wife, you have to take care of your health." Now Jiang Ziyi automatically changed her address to "you" to show respect.

Jiang Ziyi was originally going to visit the former queen, now the Queen Mother of Meng State, but she just happened to meet the newly promoted queen on the way.

"Aunt Queen Mother, why did my uncle suddenly want to abdicate?" She was very confused. You know, people with power are reluctant to give up power.
