The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 509: Shen Jiarou returns to the capital and goes to Yong'an Houfu

Qingyou looked at her princess's expression and felt a little sympathetic towards her. Everyone else was in pairs, but she was all alone.

"Princess, this garlic cucumber is pretty good, please try it."

After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the outskirts of Beijing for a nap. During this time, Shen Jiarou and others actually gained a few pounds and their faces became rounder.

While Zhen Luosang was tying Shen Jiarou's hair, she asked her, "Princess, are we going back to the palace or the mansion today?"

"Go back home first, to Yong'an Houfu, and then come back to the palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

The first trip with Jiang Ruofan ended, and the couple sat in the carriage staring at each other. Soon, they slowly lowered their heads and dared not look at each other anymore.

Shen Jiarou felt that the air in the carriage was too stuffy, so she lifted the curtain and looked outside. What came into view were patches of lush green grass, seedlings and leaves.

"Spring is still the best, full of life everywhere."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruofan also looked outside.

"Spring is nice, especially when it's warm."

"The prince consort is right."

Prince Consort? The princess no longer called him Ruofan, but she felt that both titles sounded good when they came out of her mouth.

In another carriage, Fu Liyong and Xie Lianxiang were holding a child each. The two children were well-behaved and lay quietly in their arms.

When the guards at Yong'an Marquis's Mansion saw the princess's carriage, they hurried forward.

"Your servant greets the princess and her husband."

Jiang Ruofan was the first to get off the carriage and reached out to help Shen Jiarou get off.

"Princess, be careful."

The two of them walked into the mansion and arrived at Xiangyi Courtyard. When the servants saw them, they hurriedly bowed.

"I pay my respects to the princess and her husband."

"No need to be polite, please inform me."

"Princess and Prince Consort, please wait a moment. I will go and report right away." With Shen Jiarou's consent, she turned around and quickly went to the door of the main house to report.

"Madam, the princess and her husband are here."

The old lady who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes.

"Please."

"Yes."

The two walked into the main house one after the other, bowed and greeted each other, and the old lady enthusiastically pulled Shen Jiarou to sit down.

"Princess, are you having fun?"

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and said, "That's great. This time, Senior Sister's family of four, Mu Xue and her fiancé, and Princess Kang Mei are all there."

The old lady was stunned.

“Oh, they went too.”

"Yes, we will stay at the manor for another half a month."

Originally they had planned to stay for only seven or eight days, but who would have thought that they would be gone for more than twenty days.

After chatting with the old lady for half an hour, Shen Jiarou saw that she was tired and prepared to leave.

"Grandma, I'll take my leave today. Please take good care of yourself."

The old lady nodded lovingly: "Okay, go ahead."

The couple left Xiangyi Courtyard and went straight to the Youlan Room in the main courtyard.

The maid at the door took them to the courtyard, where the wife of Marquis Yong'an was pruning branches.

"Mother."

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an turned around and saw that it was two people who bowed respectfully.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the princess and her husband."

The couple performed the junior etiquette: "Greetings, mother/mother-in-law. Greetings, mother."

"Come on, sit down and talk. We've been in the suburbs of Beijing for so long. Did you have fun?"

Shen Jiarou helped to trim the branches, and the beautiful red roses were placed in the vase.

"Mother seems to be in a leisurely mood today."

"It's just to kill time, but now that you're back, we all need to have some fun. By the way, this is the new green tea for this spring, you guys should try it."

Shen Jiarou placed the last red rose into the vase, and together with Jiang Ruofan, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Princess, mother-in-law, this new green tea is delicious."

"I think it's good, too. It tastes refreshing and delicious. I feel a light fragrance between my lips and teeth."

Nanny Hu, who was beside the wife of Marquis Yong'an, took the vase away, and the table suddenly became empty.

"By the way, mother, did you receive the things they just sent?"

"I got it. Mother likes it very much. You two are very thoughtful."

Thinking of their exhausting journey back home today, Lady Yong'an Marquis asked another question.

"Would you like to have dinner together?"

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes to look at Jiang Ruofan, but still shook her head to politely refuse.

"Mother, we still won't eat with you. Please eat and drink well."

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest for a while."

"Then mother, we will take our leave first."

Madam Yong'an nodded lovingly, "Go ahead."

When we returned to Huaheyuan, Nami Musiqi had already made the bed.

"Princess, everything has been changed. You and your husband should lie down and rest for a while."

"Ok."

A breeze blew, and the lotus leaves in the pond in the lotus garden swayed in the wind.

On sunny days, the sky is also blue, with occasional white clouds inlaid in it.

Shen Jiarou was probably a little tired when she lay down, and she fell asleep quickly after closing her eyes. In her dream, she was dancing with a sword in the peach blossom forest, and Jiang Ruofan was playing the piano. The two of them were like a perfect couple, working in perfect harmony.

The sky in the dream is still as blue; the clouds in the dream are still as white; the sunshine is still as warm. Shen Jiarou, dressed in white, dances with a sword in hand, her movements are sometimes graceful and sometimes neat and decisive.

Jiang Ruofan was wearing a light blue robe, and his big hands kept moving on the piano. Beautiful sounds were produced by his nimble and clear hands.

When the breeze blew, peach blossom petals fell with the wind. Shen Jiarou turned around neatly and spun quickly again.

Flower petals fell on her, and her white skirt swayed as she spun.

Shen Jiarou suddenly woke up and found that everything was just a dream, but she felt that the dream was very real.

"Princess, why are you sighing?"

"Ah? I just had a dream."

Jiang Ruofan smiled gently; "What did the princess dream about?"

"I dreamed about you and me."

Jiang Ruofan didn't expect that he was in her dream, and he looked up in shock.

"Did you dream about me?"

"Yes, I dance with swords, you play the piano, and there are peach blossoms, and the petals fall in the wind."

Jiang Ruofan imagined the scene and thought it was quite beautiful.

"I really can play the zither. Why don't we give it a try when we return to the princess's mansion one day?"

Shen Jiarou was stunned, obviously surprised by his words.

"Alright... but I have to stay in the palace for two days tomorrow. Do you want to go back to the Prince Consort's Mansion first to accompany your grandmother, father, mother and the others?"

"Alright."

Seeing that he agreed readily, Shen Jiarou smiled gently.

"Since we are all awake, let us get up."

"it is good."

Sisters Jiang Shulan and Jiang Shuhan wanted to come and play with Shen Jiarou, but they were afraid it would be inconvenient, so they had to enjoy the flowers and catch butterflies in the fragrant garden.

"Sister, look, there is a white butterfly."

"I have a blue one here. It's very beautiful. Look at it."

The third lady sat embroidering a handkerchief while watching her two cute daughters chasing butterflies, which was quite interesting and fulfilling.

Jiang Shuhan, tired of playing, put down the net and walked towards the third wife: "Mother, you are embroidering again."

"Yeah, Xiuxiu is just killing time. Why don't you chase butterflies?"

"I'm tired, take a break."

"Have some tea to quench your thirst."

"Thank you, mother."
