The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 370 Shen Jiarou fell asleep at the scene of the prince's concubine selection

The day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose a concubine was sunny and a great day.

The Queen brought Shen Jiarou to the scene of selecting a concubine. Looking at such a spectacular scene, Shen Jiarou was slightly amazed.

"So this is what the selection of concubines looks like."

The Queen smiled softly, "Whatever the princess thinks."

"Solemn, but it's almost enough." But there are too many people running for the election, perhaps dozens or even hundreds.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Jiarou quietly asked the officials from the Ministry of Rites.

"Sir, how many people are running for this election?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this time there will be a total of 150 people."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiarou, Ruan Qingling, Zhen Luosang, Nami and others were shocked.

Oh my God, there are too many people for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to choose from.

Thinking that this time the family was selecting a principal wife and a concubine, Shen Jiarou could understand the thoughts of those families. After all, they were all daughters raised by each family, and most of them were probably legitimate daughters.

Looking at the beauties being eliminated one after another, Shen Jiarou lamented the cruelty of the selection of concubines.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Jiarou looked up blankly: "Mother, it's nothing."

"Your Majesty, this is Mu Simin, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, she is seventeen years old."

Looking at the gentle and quiet girl in front of her, the queen nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, what do you learn at home?"

In response to the queen's question, Mu Simin bowed gracefully.

"Your Majesty, I learn to read, embroider, and arrange flowers at home. I also help my mother manage the household chores and handle some daily affairs." Her graceful behavior and way of speaking made the queen like her very much.

"Yeah, that's good, stay."

Upon hearing this, Mu Simin hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Queen."

After she stepped back, they came forward one after another.

Shen Jiarou was interested at first and patiently accompanied her mother for half an hour. Finally, after yawning a few times, she couldn't help but fell asleep with her head propped up on the chaise longue.

All the ladies from the noble families who came to attend the party, seeing the legitimate princess sleeping peacefully, sighed at her generosity.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that his mother and sister had personally come to the concubine selection site, he calmed down a little and sighed.

Some things are not what he wants them to be, even if he is the crown prince.

Thinking about how many concubines there would be in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat down helplessly, frowning.

When you are young, you cannot meet someone too amazing, otherwise you will feel unhappy for the rest of your life. He is one of them.

The second princess took the third princess to the scene of the concubine selection and peeked. The third princess noticed that her sister was sleeping soundly.

Ouhe whispered, "Princess, that's Princess Yongkang."

It was still an hour later that the queen saw her princess fell asleep.

"This child, how can he fall asleep like this?" How heartless.

Bai Yuechu glanced and sighed: "Maybe the princess is too young and can't sit still."

The queen was helpless. She didn't want to leave at this moment, but her daughter was sleeping soundly and it would not be nice to wake her up.

"Madame Luo, find something to cover the princess so she won't catch a cold."

Bai Yuechu was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at the blue sky. It shouldn't be like this in this weather, but her master loved his daughter very much.

The women participating in the talent show just watched the little princess sleeping. When Shen Jiarou woke up, it was already five quarters after 3 p.m.

She opened a pair of confused, ignorant and clear eyes and looked at everything around her.

"Awake." She was startled when she heard the familiar voice.

"Mother, are you done?"

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "You woke up at the right time. How was your sleep?"

Shen Jiarou smiled awkwardly and said, "Not bad, then shall I accompany you back to the palace?"

"No, go back and rest for a while. You are still young and growing."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou did not refuse.

"I obey your order. I will take my leave now."

The queen waved her hand and said, "Back off."

Shen Jiarou bowed gracefully and elegantly, and left very swiftly, which made the queen behind her laugh.

"This girl..." The Queen, Bai Yuechu and Nanny Luo looked at each other and smiled.

Back at Fanghua Palace, the Thirteenth Prince sat on the swing and looked at her.

"Fourth sister, you are finally back." He thought he would not be able to wait today.

Hearing this, he was full of doubts. "Have you been here for a long time?"

One and a half hours."

Shen Jiarou was shocked: "Then why don't you go back to the palace to rest."

The Thirteenth Prince smiled shyly: "I miss you, Fourth Sister."

Shen Jiarou felt comfortable hearing this. It was best for little Dumpling to act coquettishly. She reached out and pinched his little face.

"Alas, I won't be able to pinch your face when you grow up. What a pity." In this era, the relationship between fathers and daughters, sisters and brothers cannot be too close. After all, there are differences between men and women.

The two siblings played games such as East, West, West, Cat's Tale, Hopscotch, and even shuttlecock together.

"Thirteenth Prince, look out, I'm here." When the Thirteenth Prince saw Zhen Luosang kicking the shuttlecock, he hurriedly caught it. An Yiyin saw it and clapped.

"The Thirteenth Prince is amazing."

"Fourth sister, take this." They were playing a shuttlecock catching game, and whoever failed to catch it would have to perform a trick.

"Okay." Shen Jiarou caught the shuttlecock perfectly, but the shuttlecock was over her head. As for why, it was because she caught it by doing a split.

Everyone was surprised when they saw it: "The princess is so amazing."

"The fourth sister is amazing."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "I don't think this is against the rules."

Everyone nodded, and Shen Jiarou picked up the shuttlecock and stood up.

"Come on, continue."

The Queen Mother was supported by Aunt Zhen and Nanny Gui to go out for a walk. They unknowingly walked to the outside of Fanghua Palace and heard the laughter. The three of them looked at each other.

"It seems there is also the voice of the Thirteenth Prince."

Aunt Gui listened carefully and said, "It should be."

"Accompany me in to take a look."

The two nodded and helped the Queen Mother into Fanghua Palace.

When the guards saw her, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted.

"See the Queen Mother."

Hearing the sound at the door, Shen Jiarou and others looked towards the palace entrance and saw the empress dowager being supported and walking towards them in a dignified manner.

"I have met the Imperial Grandmother. Please be well, Imperial Grandmother."

The Thirteenth Prince also hurriedly bowed: "Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother. May the Imperial Grandmother be well."

The Queen Mother was very pleased to see that the brother and sister had such a good relationship.

"How long has Yang'er been here?"

"Replying to the Imperial Grandmother, my grandson has been here for a while."

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and lovingly: "What were you playing?"

The Thirteenth Prince said obediently, "Playing shuttlecock."

Hearing the shuttlecock, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly.

"You guys play normally, and the Imperial Grandmother will sit aside and watch."

Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Okay, Grandmother, Aunt Zhen, and Aunt Gui, please watch over it."

Everyone started playing shuttlecock again. Since Shen Jiarou, Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong were good at martial arts, they performed various difficult moves.

The Queen Mother and others were excited: "Interesting, kicking the shuttlecock is like dancing."

Shen Jiarou suddenly turned around and said, "My dear grandmother, there really is a shuttlecock dance."

The Queen Mother, Aunt Zhen, and Nanny Gui looked at each other, and Aunt Zhen smiled gently.

"Yes, I have learned a lot."

Shen Jiarou, Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong smiled.

The Queen Mother kept looking after her grandchildren and later had dinner with them in Fanghua Palace.
