The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 604 Grandfather, Your Arrow Missed the Mark Again

Bringing the two families back to Mulan Garden, Shen Jiarou pulled Qin Yijuan to sit down.

"Come, let me feel your pulse."

Qin Yijuan was a little excited. Shen Jiarou's hands were placed on her wrists. She lowered her head and took her pulse carefully. Bai Yunsu, Qin Meili and others also sat quietly and looked at her.

The person involved was as calm as a chrysanthemum, but Qin Meili was extremely excited.

"Sister Princess, how is Yijuan?"

Shen Jiarou took her hand back and smiled: "That's good. Congratulations, Sister Yijuan. You are going to be a mother again."

Qin Yijuan excitedly said, "Really?"

She reached out and stroked her belly, her face full of tenderness.

"Yes, it's been a month and a half."

Nan Zhian was also very happy when he heard that his wife was pregnant.

Li Leping quickly congratulated him: "Congratulations, Lord Nan, Madam Nan."

Bai Qiuci also congratulated enthusiastically: "Congratulations."

Nan Zhian happily bowed and said, "Thank you, Steward Li, Madam Li."

Shen Jiarou looked at the cute and well-behaved Nan Ningxi, smiled at her gently and spoke.

"Ning Xi, come here and give your aunt a hug."

Nan Ningxi sat in Shen Jiarou's arms. Shen Jiarou tidied up her hair, looked at her gently, and spoke to her.

"Ning Xi, have you missed your aunt recently?"

Nan Ningxi said obediently: "I miss you very much. My mother said today that she can see my aunt, and Ningxi is very happy."

Qin Yijuan's face was full of tenderness, and everyone smiled at each other.

Jiang Ziyi came over holding the two-year-old Li Zhiya, the eldest daughter of Bai Qiuci and Li Leping, and she was the one who gave her daughter her nickname.

"Mother."

Seeing Nanningxi in her mother's arms, she smiled at her.

"Hello, Sister Xi."

Nan Ningxi broke free from Shen Jiarou's warm embrace and saluted Jiang Ziyi in a proper manner.

"Hello, sister Princess."

"Ziyi, where are my brother and the others?"

Jiang Ziyi shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know."

Bai Qiuci was Bai Yunsu's personal maid, and later married Li Leping, the steward of the Tang residence. Mrs. Bai, considering the relationship between the two families, brought Nanny Zhang to attend Li Zhien's hundred-day funeral.

Bai Qiuci was very excited to see her: "This servant greets the Madam."

Mrs. Bai is now 49 years old. Although there are traces of time on her face, she is still gentle and dignified, with a hint of cold temperament.

Mrs. Bai quickly helped her up, and Bai Yunsu also came to her mother and bowed obediently.

"Mother."

Bao Zhiqing came up to her and bowed: "My son-in-law greets my mother-in-law."

Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded at her daughter, then looked at Shen Jiarou and Jiang Ruofan and bowed respectfully. “Son-in-law, Mrs. Bai, please don’t be polite.”

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

Shen Jiarou smiled at her gently: "Mrs. Bai, please don't be polite, please take a seat!"

Mrs. Bai smiled when she heard this. It was a great honor to be able to sit at the same table with the princess.

"Thank you princess."

Nanny Zhang helped her sit down. Besides Shen Jiarou and Bai Yunsu, there were Qin Meili and Qin Yijuan at the table, and now with the addition of Mrs. Bai, there were five people in total.

"Madam Zhang, everyone please sit down and eat. You should sit down and eat too."

Aunt Zhang was stunned: "Ah, this is not good."

Madam Bai looked up at her personal assistant, Nanny Zhang, and said, "Since the princess has said so, Nanny, please find a table and sit down."

Shen Jiarou looked around and saw Zhang Zirou and others helping to serve the dishes, and smiled and made a suggestion.

"Madam Zhang, please sit with Sister Zirou and the others." Together with the children from several other families, there were two tables.

During the meal, Shen Jiarou picked up some food for her daughter.

"Ziyi, see what else you want to eat. Mother will pick some food for you."

Jiang Ziyi looked at the garlic eggplant and couldn't help but smile.

"Mother, I want to eat that purple melon."

Shen Jiarou reached out and picked up two pieces of food for her with chopsticks. Nan Ningxi looked at her with envy and also acted coquettishly towards Qin Yijuan.

"Mother, my daughter wants that too."

When Qin Yijuan heard this, she quickly reached out and took some.

"Thank you, mother." She picked up the chopsticks happily and began to eat seriously.

Nan Zhian clinked glasses with Xu Changxian: "Brother-in-law, come, I'll toast you."

The two are brothers-in-law and have a good relationship privately. Most importantly, the relationship between the two sisters and their children is also very good.

The two men raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp. Nan Zhian looked at his brother-in-law and spoke.

"Brother-in-law has been serving as a Grand Secretary in the Imperial Academy for five years. I wonder if he has considered being promoted to another position?"

Xuchang County said: "Maybe he will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue."

He is now a fifth-rank academician in the Hanlin Academy. When he goes to the Ministry of Revenue, he will be promoted one level to the fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. Originally, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue was of the fifth rank, but because he was promoted, he became a fourth-rank official.

"Congratulations to my brother-in-law in advance. I still have to keep up the good work."

Xu Changxian reached out and patted his shoulder: "Work hard, and I look forward to your good news."

Qin Meili and Qin Yijuan looked at the two of them from time to time, always worried that their husbands had drunk too much.

Seeing that they were almost becoming husband-waiting wives, Shen Jiarou couldn't help but make a few jokes.

"Sister Meili, Sister Yijuan, even if you two look at your brother-in-law, they can't run away."

Mrs. Bai, Bai Yunsu and others covered their faces and laughed, and the two sisters were very shy.

Shen Jiarou picked up another piece of lean meat and put it into her daughter's bowl. Jiang Ziyi looked at her and smiled.

"What's wrong, Ziyi?"

"Mother, Daddy is drinking too, don't you care?"

Jiang Ruofan, who was drinking happily with everyone, turned around and looked at his daughter sadly when he heard this.

"Daughter, how dare you tear down your father's stage?"

Jiang Ziyi looked at Xu Changxian and Nan Zhian and said seriously, "I just saw my mother talking about my uncle and the others."

Oh, the adult world is so complicated, it’s better to be a child.

Shen Jiarou sighed and explained gently: "Mother was just joking with them, you take everything so seriously."

Mrs. Bai looked at the lovely Jiang Ziyi and suddenly thought of her grandchildren.

"Yun'er, where are Xuanxuan and the others?"

"Mother, maybe we can play somewhere."

The hundredth day celebration for Bai Qiuciwu and Li Leping's son was still very lively, with four tables of banquet.

Everyone left one after another, and Shen Jiarou's family of six chose to stay at the Tang Mansion. The happiest person was Emperor Wenzong of Tang.

Jiang Ziyi pulled Tang Wenzong's skirt and looked up: "Grandfather, Ziyi stayed to accompany you, are you happy?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang stroked his beard, bent down happily, and picked up Jiang Ziyi.

"I want to play with you this afternoon. How about that?"

Tang Wenzong was busy all afternoon, sometimes he played skipping and tumbling with his granddaughter, sometimes he played slingshot with his little grandson, sometimes he played archery, etc. He was very busy and never tired of it.

Jiang Ziheng was shocked: "Grandfather, you missed the target."

Tang Wenzong was a little embarrassed: "Haha, grandpa is old and can't do it anymore, brother Heng is still the best."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang shot another arrow, but the arrow was not seen. The grandfather and grandson looked around and did not see it.

"Grandfather, where are your arrows?"

"Ah, I didn't see it."

Jiang Ziwen sighed: "It's on the capital over there."

Jiang Ziheng laughed out loud when he saw this: "Grandfather, you are really biased."

Seeing his brother's carefree attitude, Jiang Ziwen held his forehead helplessly.

Jiang Ziheng's laughter was heard by Shen Jiarou, who was basking in the sun with Bai Qiuci in the courtyard.

"What is this brat laughing at again?"

Bai Qiuci tried to hold back his laughter: The Third Young Master might be getting into trouble again.
