The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 99: Roasted suckling pig

When Fei Fei, concubine of Prince Rong, learned that her daughter was staying at the nearby farm for dinner, she was stunned for a moment.

"This is rare. The princess actually took the initiative to go." However, Princess Rong still had some complaints about her daughter's somewhat disrespectful behavior.

It is unbecoming of a royal family for a daughter to behave in this way.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ji Muxue thought that she had stayed for too long and stood up to leave.

"Princess Yongkang, I have to go back now. Sorry for disturbing you today."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and shook her head, "It's okay, you're welcome to come again next time."

Nanny Wang and the maids around Ji Muxue were stunned when they heard what she said. Why did the princess speak in a tone like a waiter in a restaurant?

Princess Ji Muxue was also stunned at first, but she was a few years older than him, so she quickly recovered.

She took off her jade bracelet and said, "Princess Yongkang, I didn't bring any gifts today. Please accept this jade bracelet and support me."

Shen Jiarou didn't bother to be polite with her and handed her the green bamboo bracelet on her hand.

"Thank you, return the favor."

Ji Muxue laughed when she saw it, "Okay, I'm leaving."

After sending her to the gate of the manor, Shen Jiarou watched them leave, then turned around and went back to the yard to take a walk to digest her food.

Princess Rong saw her daughter coming back and looked up at her.

"Mother, my daughter is back."

Princess Rong nodded slightly and said, "Xue'er, next time you must not be so reckless and violate the rules. If you want to go to someone else's house, you must first send an invitation or receive an invitation from someone else."

Ji Muxue lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes, my daughter will remember it. This time, it was my daughter who was not thoughtful enough."

Princess Rong loved her daughter very much, and was reluctant to say anything more to her when she saw this.

"How about this Princess Yongkang?"

She noticed that her daughter had a bamboo bracelet on her hand, but the jade bracelet was gone. She thought that they must have exchanged tokens of love.

"He seems to be easy to get along with and a very kind person."

Hearing this, Princess Rong nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. If you still want to go, just send in your invitation."

She also didn't restrict her daughter from making acquaintances.

When Ji Muxue heard this, she looked up in surprise. Seeing her mother's still smiling face, she knew that her mother was telling the truth.

"My daughter thanks my mother."

Shen Jiarou didn't expect that Princess Ji Muxue would hand her another invitation on the third day. She read it three times and it was still the same invitation.

"This is strange, has she fallen in love with us?"

Nanny Wang was noncommittal. “Maybe.”

The legitimate daughter of Prince Rong still has some status in the royal family. After all, she is the emperor's first legitimate granddaughter.

Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling and said, "Please reply to the post and tell them that we can roast suckling pig tomorrow if it's convenient. If the princess is interested, she can come too."

Ruan Qingling bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will reply right away."

For matters like this kind of reply, she could just write the reply herself and have the princess review it.

Ji Muxue was overjoyed when she received the reply and went to see her mother with the message.

"Mother, Princess Yongkang has replied to my daughter, saying that she will roast suckling pig tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come along."

Hearing her daughter's cheerful voice, Princess Rong also smiled slightly.

"Roast suckling pig? I've never eaten it before. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I'll go with you to have a look."

Ji Muxue was so happy when she heard this, and she acted coquettishly in her mother's arms.

"Mother is so kind."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty learned that Shen Jiarou went to the manor, and he had people keeping a close eye on her these days.

"Princess Ji Muxue went outside Princess Yongkang's manor before handing over the invitation. Princess Yongkang came out of the manor upon hearing what she said. The two chatted for a few words and then walked in side by side. After nearly an hour, they came out and exchanged bracelets. On the third day, Princess Ji Muxue handed Princess Yongkang another invitation, and Princess Yongkang sent her trusted maid to reply in person."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty had no idea that his granddaughter was actually interested in Yi Yi. He probably thought that they were of similar age and had common topics.

Princess Rong, along with her daughter, nanny, maids, and guards, came to Shen Jiarou's farm in a grand ceremony to keep the appointment.

When the guard came in to report, Shen Jiarou quickly stood up and straightened her dress while walking.

Seeing the distinguished lady being welcomed in by Feng Jingyun, Shen Jiarou's eyes moved slightly and she bowed respectfully.

"Yongkang greets Princess Rong. Hello, Princess Rong."

Apart from the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Ji Muxue, this was the fourth noble woman she had ever met.

Princess Rong looked down at Princess Yongkang who was bowing politely, and felt satisfied.

"Princess Yongkang, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Princess Rong."

Shen Jiarou stood up and looked at the lady in front of her quietly.

"Princess Rong, Princess Muxue, please come in."

Princess Rong nodded slightly and took the lead to move forward, followed by Shen Jiarou and Princess Ji Muxue.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Shen Jiarou spoke from time to time on the way.

"Princess Rong, the roast suckling pig has started. We can have some melon seed dessert first."

Princess Rong took the initiative to sit down at the bottom. After all, she was also a princess officially conferred by her father, and was of the same rank as her daughter, so she had to give her some face.

Zhang Zirou and Yaer were helping to roast the suckling pig outside. When they smelled the delicious aroma of the roasted suckling pig, they were drooling.

The aroma of meat wafted into the main hall along with the breeze, and everyone in the room changed their expressions.

smell good.

Princess Rong also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help swallowing.

She had never heard that suckling pig could be roasted, so she found it novel, and what made her even more curious was what happened next.

Ruan Qingling walked over from outside and said, "Princess, the roast suckling pig is ready."

Shen Jiarou nodded gently, "Princess Rong, Princess, let's move to the dining hall."

Last time we were in a hurry and everyone ate in the courtyard. This time Princess Rong and her daughter came with her, so the dining hall was more appropriate.

Three people were sitting at a round table, with a roasted suckling pig in the middle. The aroma was so fragrant that Princess Ji Muxue could hardly hold back.

Shen Jiarou knows how to respect the elderly and love the young. "Princess Rong, please go first."

When Princess Rong heard this, she stopped being pretentious.

"You're welcome then."

When she started to eat, Princess Ji Muxue and Shen Jiarou picked up their chopsticks almost at the same time. Everyone who was serving was stunned, but the three masters did not notice.

Shen Jiarou pulled off one of the legs with force and motioned Zhen Luosang to take it to Huzhan.

Ji Muxue looked a little puzzled and said, "Princess Yongkang, I thought you wanted to eat it."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "Let my Hu Zhan have a taste of this too."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and asked, "What is the protection war?"

"my pet."

"cat?"

The name doesn't sound like it.

"A wolf."

Ji Muxue was caught off guard and choked.

"Ah, you have wolves here?"

God, he is so brave.

Shen Jiarou smiled innocently, "Yes, he came with us. I've raised him for almost two years."

Princess Rong was surprised, "Why would you think of raising a wolf?"

My daughter's family at most raises cats, goldfish, and birds, but I have never heard of any raising wolves.

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips and explained, "Uncle Tian said to let it protect me."

Princess Rong was stunned when she heard this title, and finally asked tentatively, "Father?"

Shen Jiarou nodded calmly, "Yes."

After listening to Shen Jiarou's simple explanation, the mother and daughter became very curious about the wolf and also curious about her name.

Originally Shen Jiarou planned to stay for a few more days, but she received an oral order from the palace, asking her to attend a palace banquet.

Shen Jiarou was very reluctant to leave, but she could not escape the emperor's order.

Seeing the princess sitting in the carriage with her ears drooping, Nanny Wang felt distressed and angry, but she could only coax her helplessly.

"Good princess, be good. We have to deal with the clothing store when we return home. Come back next time after everything is done."

Shen Jiarou thought about the clothing shop and finally cheered up.

The palace banquet was on the third day, and Shen Jiarou decided to become a disciple on the second day, to solve one important issue at a time.

Mr. Xie listened to her arrangement and did not object. It was not a big deal after all.

Shen Jiarou had never attended a palace banquet before, and she felt a little scared at the thought of meeting so many strangers, all of whom were important figures.

Nanny Wang saw that the princess was depressed and was very worried about her.

"Princess, you don't have to be afraid. This old servant and Nanny Su will accompany you when the time comes, and Nanny He will be in charge of the mansion."

Shen Jiarou sighed, "This is the only way."

After figuring it out, Shen Jiarou closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Nanny Su saw this scene and smiled helplessly.

Nanny Su thought: He is indeed a child, easy to coax and open-minded.
