The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

eldest princess mansion

The eldest princess saw Jiang Shijie walking towards her courtyard. She was delighted and wondered whether the second son had come to discuss her grandson's marriage with her.

"The son has met his mother."

"Shijie, please stand up quickly. Why are you here?"

Thinking of his eldest son who was about to get married, Jiang Shijie felt that he should politely inform his mother.

"Mother, the emperor has issued an edict granting marriage to Princess Wei Yan and Princess Heshun. I am here with Master Jiang and Madam Jiang to deliver the message."

"Oh, what did they say?"

"The Queen and the two elders will discuss this together, and the betrothal gifts will be sent directly to Princess Heshun's residence."

Hearing this, the eldest princess nodded.

"That's good too. Wait a minute. Mother will ask someone to give Wei Yan some betrothal gifts, and we can bring them back later."

Jiang Shijie bowed and thanked him: "Your son thanks you on behalf of Wei Yan."

"Why thank you? We are all family."

Jiang Shijie left with the betrothal gift specially prepared by the princess and ran into Jiang Shisheng in the front yard.

"Congratulations, second brother, on becoming in-laws to the Queen." Having children become in-laws is another kind of perfection.

Jiang Shijie bowed to his elder brother and said, "Thank you, elder brother. I have to go back to prepare the betrothal gifts. I'll take my leave today."

"Proposing to Princess Heshun is a big deal, we need to pay close attention to it. Go ahead."

After watching his second brother leave, Jiang Shisheng came to the main courtyard to look for his wife.

"lady."

"Master, you are back."

"Hurry up and help Wei Yan send over a betrothal gift. They are preparing to propose to Princess Heshun."

"Yes, I'll prepare it right away."

Ten days later was a good day. Jiang Shijie chose this day to propose marriage and went to Princess Heshun's mansion with a load of betrothal gifts.

When the two elders learned the time for the engagement, they packed up and went to Princess Heshun's mansion early in the morning.

In the main hall, the two elders sat in the main seats with nervous and excited expressions.

"Master, I am a little nervous."

"Don't mention my wife, the same goes for me." It felt like going back to the day when the eldest son proposed to Princess Yongkang, and the weather was just as sunny.

An Yiyin has been very busy recently. Her master is getting married soon, and she has a lot of things to prepare.

A guard came to the main hall quickly and said, "Old Master, Madam, Lord Jiang is almost at the door with the betrothal gifts."

The old couple were stunned when they heard this and became even more nervous and excited.

"Please come in."

Jiang Ziyi, who was in the main courtyard, became very nervous when she heard the report.

"Princess, are you very nervous now?"

"Yeah, I feel my heart pounding."

When Lin Shuhua heard this, he raised his head and covered his lips with a smile.

Jiang Shijie took a special day off today and came to the main hall wearing new clothes and shoes.

"The junior has met the two elders."

"Hello, Lord Jiang."

Everyone started the betrothal gift process and looked at the betrothal gift list and betrothal gifts. Looking at the generous betrothal gifts, the old couple was very satisfied, which meant that the Jiang family valued their granddaughter very much.

"We will be in-laws from now on. Thank you for your hard work today, Lord Jiang. I hope you will do me the honor of staying at your house for lunch, accompanied by the two of us elders."

Seeing the two people’s warm invitation, Jiang Shijie decided to stay.

Fengyi Palace

Shen Jiarou began to prepare a dowry for her daughter to give her more confidence in her marriage.

Ruan Qingling found the registration book and said, "My Lady, please take a look."

Shen Jiarou took it and checked it: "Nanqi, help me register later."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

"A pair of green jade bracelets; a pair of gold safety locks; a pair of white jade pendants; five sets of head ornaments; a pair of butterfly earrings; a pair of white magnolia earrings; a pair of wisteria earrings; a box of silk and satin; a small box of gold leaves; a small box of gold peanuts; a peony screen; a plum blossom table screen..."

When the palace servants carefully laid it out, there were a total of ten loads of dowry. After looking at it, Shen Jiarou still felt that it was a little too little.

"There are a few missing, so five boxes of silver, one box of gold, one box of calligraphy and paintings..." When she finished adding, there were a total of twenty units. In addition, items like screens had to be taken separately and could not be placed in boxes.

Ji Chenyu brought Luo Cheng with him, followed by a group of people carrying ten large boxes.

"Queen."

"Brother." Seeing the box carried by the palace servants, Shen Jiarou was stunned: "This is..."

"I, as your uncle, will add to your makeup."

Before long, some people came to Fushou Palace, Anhe Palace and the harem to add makeup. The largest number came from the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Noble Concubine, each with five sedan chairs, a total of fifteen.

Others like Concubine Dowager De had one lift, Concubine Dowager Li had one lift, Concubine Dowager An had one lift, Concubine Xian and Concubine De also had one lift in total after adding makeup, and the rest of the concubines had one lift in total. Except for Shen Jiarou, there were a total of twenty lifts in the harem.

Two months later, fifty loads of dowry were placed in the courtyard.

After everyone's discussion, Jiang Ziyi married out of Fengyi Palace

Ji Chenyu and Shen Jiarou sat in the main seats. Lin Shuhua helped Jiang Ziyi, who had dressed up carefully, to walk to the main hall to bid farewell to the emperor and empress.

In order to let Jiang Ruofan also accompany his daughter, Ji Chenyu ordered Luo Cheng to stand aside with Jiang Ruofan's spirit tablet.

"The bride bids farewell to her parents."

Jiang Ziyi bent down and knelt on the soft cushion, saying goodbye to the two of them.

"Ziyi bids farewell to the Emperor, Uncle, Mother, and Father."

Shen Jiarou looked at her daughter with a smile in her eyes.

As the elder brother, Jiang Ziwen came and squatted in front of his sister.

"Ziyi, big brother will carry you on his back to get married."

Jiang Ziyi nodded slightly, and with the help of Lin Shuhua, she climbed onto Jiang Ziwen's back. Jiang Ziwen carried her on his back and walked steadily through one palace gate after another.

Standing beside them was the groom, Jiang Weiyan, who had been watching the brother and sister carefully.

The moment the bridal sedan was lifted up, the dowry was also lifted up from the wide palace road, and passed through one palace gate after another as Jiang Ziyi got married.

Lin Shuhua and other maids carried flower baskets and scattered copper coins and peanuts along the way. The people on both sides bowed their heads and bent down to pick up the money and peanuts while blessing them.

Jiang Shijie, the father of the bride and groom, was now busy entertaining the guests. Helping him were the eldest princess, Jiang Shisheng and his wife, and their children.

"congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Congratulations to the eldest princess for welcoming her grandson's wife into the family."

"Thank you." The eldest princess was very happy today. The former sarcasm and harshness on her face was gone, and she now had a friendly smile on her face.

Jiang Shijie, who was in high spirits due to the happy event, was a little dazed when he heard the wedding procession arrived outside the mansion.

"Hey, second brother, go sit in the main seat quickly. The newcomer will pay his respects to you later."

"Oh, okay, okay."

By the time he had sat upright, Jiang Weiyan had already helped Jiang Ziyi out of the eight-man sedan chair and walked towards the main hall step by step. On the way, Jiang Ziyi stepped over the fire basin according to etiquette.

Jiang Weiyan burned her and hugged her directly. Not only the guests were stunned, but even Jiang Ziyi herself was surprised. Jiang Weiyan smiled at her gently, as bright and gentle as the warm spring sun.

There was applause from the crowd: "Good."

Jiang Hua and Jiang Wen saw it clearly. The person applauding in the crowd was Princess Kangmei's second son, Dou Wenming, who had been married for several years and was now twenty-one years old.
