The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 814 Jiang Shijie asks Jiang Ziyi to marry his son

The Queen Mother of Mengguo couldn't let go of the baby: "Sister Wang, please let your sister-in-law hold you. Look at how plump and white it is. How pleasing it is."

The Grand King looked at the Second Prince in Ji Chenyu's arms and reached out to take him.

"Haha, Second Prince, call me uncle and I will buy you some candy."

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but lower their heads and hold back their laughter. This Supreme King was so amiable. He had none of the majesty and domineering attitude of a superior. He was really approachable.

Ji Chenyu shook his head and smiled: "Brother Wang, this is really embarrassing for our Second Prince. I'm afraid it will take a few more months."

The Grand King was not discouraged: "It's okay. Look at how white, plump and strong this child is. It's obvious that he is born by our sister."

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and lifted the second prince up and down. Everyone was shocked and the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother almost fainted from fright.

Even Ji Chenyu, the father who had a son in his old age, was shocked: "Brother..."

"It's okay. My three sons have been like this since they were young. Children can't be too pampered, especially boys, otherwise it will be difficult to raise them. For example, as soon as my three sons learned to walk, they started to run around in the palace and wanted to go everywhere."

Speaking of his sons, the King Tai became interested.

"All three brothers could talk and walk at the age of one, rode on horseback at the age of three, and started riding, archery, and reading at the age of five."

Everyone was surprised when they heard that he started riding and shooting arrows at the age of five. They thought it was too early.

Looking at the two sisters-in-law who were talking to the eldest princess, the King laughed.

"Your Majesty, please don't disbelieve me. Look at our princess, she has been practicing martial arts and playing around since she was young. Her physique is better than that of ordinary women. Look at how many children she has given birth to, and she still looks like an unmarried girl."

Queen Mother Meng frowned as she looked at her husband who was talking, and interrupted him.

"Grand Lord, please shut up. The customs and habits of Dalin and Huimeng are completely different, and the way of raising children is naturally different as well."

Afraid that the old couple would start arguing at the banquet, Ji Chenyu hurried to smooth things over.

"What my brother and my wife said makes sense. We haven't even seen the Third Prince and the Second Princess yet. Please don't neglect them."

When Queen Mother Meng heard this, she said, "Yes, yes, yes. Look at how incompetent we uncles and aunts are."

Ji Chenyu chuckled and joked: "Just kidding."

The Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother looked at each other and both put aside their worries.

The next morning, Ji Chenyu announced another big event.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory will select an auspicious day to enthrone the Second Prince as the Crown Prince."

When the court officials heard that this day had finally arrived, they all knelt down and congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

It was a sunny day on the day of the prince's enthronement ceremony, and Ji Chenyu was very satisfied with the day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.

"The ceremony of enthroning the crown prince will begin immediately."

Since the baby was still young, Ji Chenyu personally held him in his arms and knelt down to worship the heaven, earth and ancestors.

The Minister of Rites announced loudly: "The ceremony is over."

As the biological mother and stepmother, Shen Jiarou looked at her son who had become the crown prince and reached out to take him from Ji Chenyu.

"Prince, congratulations."

The couple brought the prince back to Fengyi Palace. The prince's business was completed, and Ji Chenyu's wish was also fulfilled. He looked at Shen Jiarou, who was holding the prince on the couch and gently patting her son's back to coax him to sleep. The happiness that arose spontaneously in his heart filled his heart.

"Rou'er, thank you."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes and smiled at him. That night, the couple placed the prince in the middle of the phoenix couch and lay sideways to look at their sleeping son.

"Rou'er, go to sleep."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and closed her eyes, Ji Chenyu smiled happily and also closed his eyes.

Jiang Ziyi, who had returned to the capital for some time, couldn't help but recall the details of a poem.

The emperor's uncle said that when she returned to the court, he would choose a prince consort for her that she liked. She didn't know who her future husband would be, but the figure that appeared in her mind was that familiar face.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ziyi's face suddenly turned red: "Nothing."

Seeing her blushing face, Lin Shuhua, who grew up with her, couldn't help but make a joke.

"Really? But I've seen a figure outside the mansion recently. I don't know if it's an illusion."

Jiang Ziyi's face turned red when she heard this: "Hate it, Shuhua, you actually learned to tease this princess."

"Princess, I was wrong. Please stop chasing me."

"No way." The two of them were playing happily in the courtyard, while the other maids were laughing and eating melons.

Jiang Weiyan from the Jiang residence was practicing calligraphy alone in the study room, looking depressed. Looking at the paper ball on the ground, Jiang Weiyu, who walked in, frowned.

"Brother, why are you venting your anger on paper?"

"How did you come?"

"Of course I'm here to care about my handsome and tall brother. You're not missing your sweetheart, are you?"

His ears suddenly turned red as his true colors were exposed.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"You know whether you are talking nonsense or not. Don't blame me, your good sister, for not reminding you. There are many young talents who want to be Yi'er's consort. As far as I know, there are at least five. I'm afraid there are more than ten who don't know."

Jiang Weiyan got anxious when he heard this: "What, seriously?"

"That's right. As the saying goes, a daughter from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. Our Princess Yi'er is famous in the capital. She is both talented and beautiful, and she is good at both literature and martial arts..."

Mo Yu Mo Xiang looked at Jiang Wei Yan who had quickly left, and hurriedly reminded his master who was still praising Princess Heshun.

"Miss, the eldest master has left."

"What, we're leaving? Come on, follow me, don't lose my perfect sister-in-law." Oh, her elder brother really made her sister anxious.

Jiang Weiyan quickly left the study and hurried towards his father's yard, leaving Jiang Hua and Jiang Wen to chase him closely.

"Master, please slow down."

Jiang Weiyan had just returned home from government office and frowned when he saw his eldest son hurrying by.

"Wei Yan, what are you doing?"

Hearing his father's voice, Jiang Weiyan suddenly stopped, turned to look at his father who looked puzzled, walked towards him quickly, and bowed to greet him.

"My son asks his father to propose marriage on my behalf to Princess Heshun." He was afraid that it would be too late and his wife would be someone else's.

Seeing his son finally speak, Jiang Shijie laughed out loud.

"Okay, tomorrow when your father goes to court, I will personally ask for Princess Heshun's hand in marriage for you."

"Thank you father."

"Come on, let's go to the study to discuss this."

At the early morning court session the next day, Jiang Shijie waited for Ji Chenyu's arrival with nervousness and excitement.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

"Everyone is safe."

Jiang Shijie took a deep breath and bowed, then stepped out of the line: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Ji Chenyu smiled when he heard this: "Right Minister of Rites, please speak!"

Jiang Shijie took another deep breath and exhaled, then looked up at Ji Chen: "I ask for your eldest son Jiang Weiyan to marry the Queen's eldest daughter Princess Heshun. Your Majesty, please grant me the marriage."

Hearing this, the whole room was in an uproar.
