The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 169 Stunning Dance at the Palace Banquet

The Queen Mother smiled kindly and gently, "What's your name, little girl?"

Xie Lianxiang was flattered to hear the Queen Mother suddenly ask this question.

"Your Highness, my name is Xie Lianxiang."

Seeing her mother asking questions, the Queen once again looked at the girl beside her daughter.

"It's a nice name, but have you read any books?"

Shen Jiarou was afraid that her senior sister would be embarrassed, so she quickly replied for her.

"Mother, I and my elder sister have read books such as the Three Character Classic, the Analects of Confucius, and the Book of Songs."

The eldest princess said dissatisfiedly, "Princess Yongkang, the Queen didn't ask you."

The flash of displeasure on Shen Jiarou's face was caught by Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty.

"My sister has taken good care of Shisheng and Shijie. I see that they are getting stronger and taller."

When the eldest princess heard her brother praising her son, she smiled happily.

"Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty and His Majesty's wife have taken good care of the Crown Prince and Princess. By the way, I wonder if the Crown Prince and Princess Yongkang have prepared for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

When the queen heard this, she looked at the eldest princess with displeasure.

This imperial sister is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Why should her legitimate sons and daughters prepare all those things? This is really too much.

The brother and sister looked up at each other, then looked away calmly.

When the brothers Jiang Shisheng and Jiang Shijie heard what their mother said, they also frowned slightly.

The ministers watched the farce before them and dared not say a word.

Looking at the mysterious atmosphere, the second princess didn't know what was wrong with her and actually looked at Shen Jiarou.

"Fourth sister, you and this county lord both have the same teacher. I believe both of you are talented and virtuous. Why don't you perform to liven up the atmosphere?"

The prince looked over with narrowed eyes. He wondered if this second princess had a problem with her brain. She followed her aunt to bully her own family.

Feeling the gazes on her, Shen Jiarou sighed slightly.

Xie Lianxiang, who was closest to her, reached out and held the little hand under the table with concern. Shen Jiarou smiled faintly at her.

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty frowned at the farce in front of him and said, "Enough."

Everyone was shocked, the emperor was angry.

Seeing that her father was about to get angry, Shen Jiarou quickly stood up and saluted.

"Father, I have prepared a surprise for you. Please change your clothes and I will be right back."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded slightly. He believed that his daughter was independent-minded and he believed that she could change the deadlock.

The Queen Mother glanced at the eldest princess.

Feeling a gaze, the eldest princess raised her eyes, and saw her mother staring at her, so she quickly lowered her head.

Shen Jiarou came to the side hall and changed into a spare pink girlish dress.

As she turned to leave, she spotted a piece of red cloth.

At the palace banquet, the girl who had left and returned had changed her clothes and came to the center of the stage.

At this time, Xie Lianxiang also bowed and came to sit beside the stage. When the sound of the piano sounded, Shen Jiarou danced with a veil replaced by red cloth.

The scene was very beautiful with Xie Lianxiang playing the melodious piano and Shen Jiarou dancing lightly in a light yellow dress.

Shen Jiarou danced according to her memory of the dance moves she had seen in costume TV dramas, waving the gauze in graceful and connected movements.

She continued to spin in circles, letting her skirt flutter, then suddenly stopped, swung the veil with both hands, bent backwards, and swung the veil into the air.

When he looked up, he did another beautiful circle, then suddenly stopped, raised his right leg, and raised his upper body slightly...

The Defei and her daughter were amazed, and Princess Muxue also opened her eyes wide in surprise.

The three people in high positions were satisfied, surprised, stunned, and smiled with appreciation.

Princess Rong sincerely exclaimed, "It turns out that the fourth princess can dance."

Prince Rong was amazed at the nimble and graceful girl on the stage, and the girl who accompanied her on the guzheng also cooperated well with her.

"It's pretty good."

It was the first time that Lady Yong'an attended a palace banquet with her daughter. When she saw the girl dancing confidently in the center of the stage, she actually felt a sense of honor.

Mrs. Bai and her daughter were amazed at the tacit cooperation between the two sisters and watched with great interest.

Bai Yunsu heard the message from the maidservant beside Princess Yongkang, glanced at Element Frost's back, and whispered to her mother.

"Mother, my daughter has something to do and needs to be out for a while."

……

The Third Princess and Princess Mu Xue also received instructions from their Fourth Sister and the Royal Aunt. They looked at each other, smiled and nodded, then left quietly.

Shen Jiarou felt like she was almost exhausted. If she had known this would happen, she would not have jumped so hard.

Everyone discovered that Princess Mu Xue, Bai Yunsu and the third princess suddenly appeared on the stage.

The three people in the high positions looked at each other, all with confusion in their eyes.

"What's this for?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Hearing his mother's doubts, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty spoke to comfort her.

"Mother, we will just watch quietly."

Suddenly, everyone saw Princess Mu Xue and Bai Yunsu pull open the white cloth in their hands. The third princess stepped forward, picked up the pen and quickly wrote the four words "Peace and Prosperity for the Country and the People".

Defei didn't notice her daughter leaving, but when she looked again, she found her daughter appeared in the center of the stage.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the Third Princess's smooth movements.

The two men spread out the white cloth with words on it and stood aside, and the third princess quietly withdrew.

The Crown Prince and Prince Rong also stepped forward and spread out a piece of clean white cloth. Now it was the turn of dancing Shen Jiarou. She walked to the eunuch beside her, took the brush on the tray, dipped it in ink, turned around quickly and gracefully, and wrote the four characters "live and work in peace and contentment" in a fluent manner.

Only then did Princess Rong realize that the prince was not by her side, but she had not noticed it.

Everyone watched these scenes with surprise.

A round of applause brought everyone back to reality.

"Okay, not bad, not bad."

When Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty spoke, the empress dowager smiled softly and applauded.

The eldest princess was so angry that she almost knocked over the teacup, but fortunately her eldest son Jiang Shisheng stopped her in the quilt.

It was a perfect performance, with the number of people increasing from the original two to seven, which amazed everyone.

Everyone on the stage saluted, and Emperor Shun of Yuan smiled heartily and dotingly.

"Yi Yi, this was your idea too, right?"

Shen Jiarou said shyly, "Father, I had a sudden thought when I was changing my clothes. It's the two brothers who were dragged here temporarily, the third sister, Bai sister, and Mu Xue."

The prince had a faint smile on his face, showing his doting.

Prince Rong couldn't quite explain his feelings at the moment; he was being forced into a position.

Emperor Yuan Shun laughed loudly and said jokingly, "Then you guys who have worked so hard should ask your fourth sister, your aunt, and your junior sister to compensate you."

Shen Jiarou said generously, "In a few days, I will host a banquet at Fanghua Palace to entertain my royal brother and sister, my eldest niece, and my senior sisters who have worked so hard with me tonight."

The prince smiled as if in spring breeze, "Sister, then the royal brothers will accept it."

The Queen Mother was deeply pleased to see her descendants and grandchildren enjoying themselves.

"Emperor, these people have worked hard, especially our girl Yi Yi, she will be rewarded handsomely."

Everyone also looked at the emperor, wanting to see how he would reward their hard work.

Emperor Yuan Shun smiled and nodded, "Mother is right. Father will give you a top-quality whip. Seeing this whip is like seeing me in person."

Shen Jiarou knew the meaning of "Ruzhen's personal presence" and hurriedly thanked him respectfully, "Thank you, father, for your reward."

Is this an unexpected surprise?
