The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 574: The Crown Prince's Reluctance

The palace banquet ended and everyone went back home. Jiang Ruofan also helped Shen Jiarou back to the main hall of Lafu Palace and sat down.

"Princess, I was really scared just now."

"Brother Wang was just joking on impulse."

Jiang Ruofan shook his head: "I think it's half true and half false."

Thinking about the relationship between the two countries, Shen Jiarou felt that what he said made sense.

"But a marriage alliance does have certain benefits. I just wonder if my brother and his wife are willing to let Moose go. It just so happens that he is almost old enough to marry a princess."

Jiang Ruofan smiled gently and raised his eyes: "The princess reacts very quickly."

"That's right, it doesn't matter whose wife it is."

Jiang Ruofan smiled dotingly, reached out to scratch her nose, his eyes full of love.

The Thirteenth Prince and Su Wenmao also walked in.

"Fourth sister, you really scared me just now."

Su Wenmao quickly sat down and poured himself a glass of water to calm himself down: "Yes, my heart is beating so fast."

Shen Jiarou chuckled: "If the heart stops beating, that person must be dead."

"Fourth Aunt, it's already this hour, and you're still teasing Wen Mao."

Nanny Gui took Jiang Ziyi to play on the couch. She was also frightened when she heard what the masters said.

"Princess and Prince Consort, do you think the king really acted on impulse?" She didn't know the king, but she knew the princess to some extent.

Everyone looked at Shen Jiarou, only to see her drinking tea calmly.

"It was a sudden idea, but now that we are here, I must have some ideas. However, the little princess is still young, so this is not realistic, and my brother is not such a cruel person."

Hearing this, Nanny Gui felt much more relieved. She brought the little princess with her when she came. She was afraid that the little princess would be gone if she returned. The Empress Dowager would not be able to accept it if she found out.

General Bai and General Guangwei in the side hall were also frightened by the king's words and their faces changed. Fortunately, the princess reacted very quickly and now threw the problem to the king himself.

"General Bai, do you think the king said this intentionally or unintentionally?"

General Bai, who has lived for decades, has a clear understanding of things. He looked up at the sky.

"Wu Xin has to become caring, but I'm not worried right now, because the ones I should be worried about are the king and his men."

General Guangwei also understood what he meant: "The princess is really quick to react."

General Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "Otherwise, the princess would be favored by the royal family. Even if she travels around, her position is still so solid. Not to mention that she is the eldest princess returning to Meng State. Do you think the king only values ​​the little girl who was once a county lady?"

"indeed."

After they finished talking, they went back to their rooms to wash up and take a nap.

After the Thirteenth Prince and Su Wenmao left, Shen Jiarou and his wife also went to bed to take a nap.

Inside the Jiemei Palace, Queen Asna looked at her husband the king with amusement.

"Your Majesty, our sister is not someone you can easily mess with. Now, we have to pay the third brother as compensation." Queen Asna found it funny when she thought of what happened at the palace banquet.

The king looked a little embarrassed after hearing what his wife said.

"This is not unintentional, it is just a joke."

As a couple for more than 20 years, how could Queen Asna not understand him?

"You keep talking tough, but it's a pity that we didn't have a princess when we were young."

The king poured water for his wife and said, "I must recognize this girl Yi Yi as my sister, just to satisfy my desire to have a daughter."

Queen Asna complained: "Who would be so crazy about their daughter that they would recognize her as their sister? Only you can do such a weird thing."

"How is this so bizarre? The reason why we have been able to develop so well in the Meng Kingdom over the years is because of the peace between the two countries over the past ten years. However, my sister has indeed played a big role. And if I want to be more sincere and make Yi Yi's status more noble, only the eldest princess is the most suitable. That is better than recognizing a daughter, isn't it?

Besides, this is also a way for us to show our sincerity, for Emperor Dalin to see. With Yi Yi's looks, talent, and knowledge, she is very suitable to be the eldest princess. Look how harmonious we get along with each other."

"Yes, yes, Harmony, then shouldn't we take a nap?"

The king chuckled and said, "It's time for a nap."

Empress Dalin's Imperial Study

Looking at the handwritten letter from his youngest daughter, Emperor Shun of Yuan, whose temples were beginning to turn gray, felt relieved.

"Your Majesty, have a drink of tea." Li Jiang's reminder came into his ears, and Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty reached out and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"How are the two young masters?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress is with you every day. Bai Yuechu, Luo Momo, Nanny He, Ruan Qingling and others are also taking good care of you. You don't have to worry."

"That's good. Their family has suffered a lot this time."

Li Jiang comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, the princess and the others can understand, otherwise the princess would not have come directly to you."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty felt very pleased when he thought of his sensible and well-behaved daughter.

"You are right. The ten-year peace agreement between the two countries has passed. I don't know what the situation will be this time."

Liu Xu, who had been quiet the whole time, spoke up: "I think it might not be that bad. After all, the princess is the eldest princess of Hui Meng State, and she also has assets in Hui Meng State. She contributes a lot of financial resources to Hui Meng State every year. Everyone knows how to make the choice."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty laughed: "Liu Xu, you are really getting better and better at talking."

Receiving the praise, Liu Xu lowered her head and smiled. It was a rare opportunity to receive praise from the emperor.

While His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was working, he did not forget to ask his subordinates to inquire about the news.

Luo Cheng came to the room and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"How is it?"

"The princess and her companions have reached the border of Huimeng State. They should have reached the capital by now."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded calmly: "Well, what else did you find out?"

Luo Cheng pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that Concubine Zhang is trying to win over the court officials. Perhaps she has already..."

The words were not stated explicitly, but he believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already understood.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked up at him and suddenly sneered.

"It seems that some people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have."

Luo Cheng sighed: "Your Highness, I think it may have something to do with your childlessness."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tightened his grip on the pen when he thought about the fact that he still had no children.

"You have a point." But God just wouldn't give him a child. He could never get things that others could easily get, whether it was his sweetheart or his children.

"Just back off."

Luo Cheng bowed and said, "I will take my leave."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a blank expression on his face at the moment. The child's troubles not only tormented the Crown Princess and others, but also his heart.

At this moment, he thought of the three sons and one daughter born to his sister, and he envied Jiang Ruofan so much.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to accept the fact: Why, Jiang Ruofan could get everything easily, but he was going crazy thinking about it, but got nothing.

But he knew that he could only keep this love deep in his heart, and maybe she would never know it in her life. Now she is married with children, and her married life is happy. It is better for him to be alone in such a painful thing, as long as she is happy.
