The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 561: Shen Jiarou goes to the Imperial Study and meets Lipin

Shen Jiarou raised her hand to pour tea for Concubine Shun, and then Jiang Ruofan took it and poured tea for her and himself. Concubine Shun lowered her head and took a sip of the teacup, then looked at the couple and smiled gently.

"It's been a long time since we last met. The princess and her husband look more and more like a married couple."

The couple smiled at her politely, and when she saw Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Ziwen, Concubine Shun's eyes became even more gentle and loving.

"This is the young prince and the young princess, right? They are so cute, fair and tender, and look quite like you and your wife."

Concubine Shun actually loves children, but she has never had a child of her own in her life. In her daily interactions with Shen Jiarou, she actually cherishes them very much, as if she were interacting with a child herself.

The more Concubine Shun looked at the two children, the more she liked them. She raised her hand and waved to them.

"Come here, give me a hug."

Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Ziwen ran towards her, and Concubine Shun reached out to touch the two children.

Looking at the two clear and innocent eyes and the tender face, she felt everything was very kind.

"So cute, so great, I hope you grow up happily." At this moment she felt the joy of being a grandmother. If only this was really her grandson, but unfortunately there is no if, so she could only fantasize.

"Can they call for help?"

Shen Jiarou explained softly, "I know part of it."

Concubine Shun became interested: "Young Master, Young Princess, do you know who I am?"

Jiang Ziwen curiously asked, "Who is it?"

His unintentional remark surprised the three people, and Concubine Shun couldn't help laughing.

"I am Consort Shun, you should call me Consort Shun Niang Niang."

Jiang Ziwen probably thought that what she said was too long and he didn't remember it.

Jiang Ziyi blurted out four words that surprised everyone again.

"Empress Shun."

Nanny Fang and Shen Yirou were both very surprised, and Concubine Shun was even more pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, Madam Shunfei, can you please say it again?"

Jiang Ziyi raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Shun seriously, and her innocent voice rang out again.

"Empress Shun." After saying this, she continued to look at Empress Shun seriously. At this moment, Empress Shun felt spiritually satisfied.

"Hey." She looked up at Shen Jiarou and said in a gentle voice: "The more I look at the little princess, the more she looks like a princess when she was a child. If she is a few years later, she will definitely look more like a princess."

Aunt Zhenhua felt that Concubine Shun really loved her little princess and little prince. She remembered that Concubine Shun also had a child many years ago, but it turned out to be nothing but a dream.

In fact, Concubine Shun is also a pitiful person. In addition to being loved, women in the harem also have children to rely on, but she has neither. It is rare that she has not turned evil. Perhaps this is because she is kind in her bones.

After Concubine Shun left Fanghua Palace, Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan stopped painting. Shen Jiarou looked at the familiar courtyard and thought of the princess' words, so she decided to go to the imperial study.

Mo Wen walked into the study and reported to Jiang Ruofan who was reading.

"My dear, the princess said she was going to the imperial study."

Jiang Ruofan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Well, leave now."

"Yes."

Outside the imperial study, Shen Jiarou looked at the majestic palace entrance, raised her head and looked at it silently.

The eunuch at the door saw that Shen Jiarou still didn't allow anyone to report, and thought that Princess Yongkang was very strange today.

Shen Jiarou stepped forward and said, "Please inform me that Yongkang wants to see the emperor."

The young eunuch bowed respectfully: "Yes, Princess Yongkang, please wait a moment!"

When Emperor Shun of Yuan heard that Shen Jiarou was coming, he spoke immediately.

"Quick announcement."

Li Jiang announced loudly: "Princess Yongkang is here to see me!"

Shen Jiarou came to the main hall and bowed respectfully to Emperor Yuan Shun and greeted him.

"Your Highness, I greet you, Father. May your Highness be well!"

The majestic face of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was full of tenderness, and his usually sharp eyes were filled with kindness.

"No need to be polite, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Father."

Shen Jiarou came and sat down gracefully opposite the small coffee table beside him. Emperor Yuan Shundi didn't know the purpose of her visit and waited for her to speak.

"Father, I heard that my brother sent someone to ask me to go back and take a look."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty knew that she would know it, but he didn't know that she would know it so quickly. It was true that the eldest princess was too narrow-minded.

"Indeed, it was a month ago, and you should have just set off at that time. Since you asked, father also wants to ask for your opinion." This daughter is so smart, and she is also good at judging the situation and protecting herself.

Shen Jiarou picked up the teacup and took a sip, then lowered her head in thought.

"What does Father think?"

"The courtiers suggested that you rest for three months before setting off again."

Shen Jiarou lowered her head and thought again: "Then let's do it in March."

Seeing that she agreed, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty also nodded.

"Okay, where are the Prince Consort and the children?"

"Why not let the prince consort come along? The two older ones can stay with us, and the younger one can be taught and served by the people in the mansion."

Emperor Yuan Shun took a deep breath and said, "Why not leave it to your mother? It will help her to distract herself and avoid putting too much pressure on the Eastern Palace."

Shen Jiarou frowned slightly: "I'm afraid it will backfire."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty shook his head: "It should be fine, it will be dispersed after all."

Seeing this, Shen Jiarou said no more. She said goodbye to Emperor Yuan Shun and passed by high walls along the way.

Zhen Luosang couldn't help but worry when he saw that his princess remained silent.

"Princess, how about you talk to the Emperor again?"

Shen Jiarou shook her head: "No matter what I say, it won't change anything."

Although the two dynasties had a ten-year peace agreement, the time had long passed. As a princess of both countries, no matter how well she tried to protect herself, some things were unavoidable.

Zhen Luosang sighed. Her princess sometimes considered things too comprehensively, but it was also safer this way.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, he met Concubine Li by chance.

"Meet Lady Lipin."

Concubine Li had long lost the arrogance she had before she first entered the palace. When she saw Concubine Li, her face was full of respect.

"Princess Yongkang."

The two of them strolled and chatted in the imperial garden, which was a rare harmony and a bit warm.

"Your Highness Princess, it has been a long time since you last saw the Fourteenth Prince."

When she heard the Fourteenth Prince, Shen Jiarou's eyes moved slightly.

"It's been a while since we last met. How's Brother Fourteen doing lately?"

"The class has started in the Shangshufang. If the princess wants to watch, why don't the Queen bring the Fourteenth Prince to Fanghua Palace tomorrow?"

Thinking of Jiang Ruofan, Shen Jiarou smiled slightly.

"Don't bother your Majesty, Lipin. I will come tomorrow."

Lipin smiled when she heard this: "Okay, Princess, I will wait for you with the Fourteenth Prince tomorrow."

Shen Jiarou smiled at her politely and returned to Fanghua Palace. Seeing Jiang Ruofan playing with his children, Shen Jiarou's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Princess, you're back." Aunt Zhenhua stepped forward and saluted.

Jiang Ruofan heard it and looked up, seeing his wife coming back, he slowly stood up and walked towards her.

"The princess came back a little late today."

"I happened to meet Concubine Li on the way. I will go to her palace to see my fourteenth brother tomorrow."

Jiang Ruofan pursed his lips and smiled: "You two siblings have indeed not seen each other for a long time."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, my fourteenth brother has grown up, as if his youth was just a dream."

Jiang Ruofan helped Shen Jiarou sit down and poured her a glass of water.
