Chapter 114: The direct lineage family has a meal at the Queen Mother's Palace
The Queen Mother held her little hand lovingly and said, "Are you used to it? If you need anything, just ask the Imperial Grandmother."
When Aunt Zhen went there before, she also brought gold, silver, jewelry, silks, and other items given by the Queen Mother.
Shen Jiarou smiled sweetly, "You have asked Aunt Zhen to take so many things away. One should not be greedy. Yi Yi feels that this is enough. Fanghua Palace is very good. Father and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very attentive. Yi Yi had a good nap during lunch break."
Hearing her graceful and childish words, the empress dowager finally smiled and reached out to touch her forehead.
"You are just too easily satisfied."
"As the ancients said: Contentment is the greatest happiness!"
"Haha, you little girl, you're still being so flowery to me."
The whole palace was filled with laughter and joy until a voice broke the silence.
"The prince has arrived!"
The prince, who was as gentle as jade, walked into the main hall in a long robe.
"Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother. I pay my respects to her!"
Seeing her legitimate grandson, who was also Crown Prince Ji Chenyu, the Queen Mother spoke kindly.
"Stop being polite and sit down to talk."
Shen Jiarou had already stood up before he saluted, and waited for him to stand up before she saluted gracefully.
"Meet the prince brother."
The prince's gentle eyes exuded a faint smile.
"No need to be polite, my sister!"
"Thank you, Brother Prince."
When the queen arrived, the room was filled with the laughter of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
"The Queen is here!"
Upon hearing this, the younger prince and Shen Jiarou quickly stood up.
The queen, dressed in a phoenix robe and dignified and elegant, came over and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly and said, "Queen, please don't be polite. Please sit down."
When the Queen stood up, the sound of the Crown Prince and Shen Jiarou saluting could be heard.
"My son has met his mother."
The two people's voices were mixed with children's voices, which sounded clear.
The queen looked at the two of them gently and said, "No need to be polite."
The Queen Mother asked some symbolic questions about palace affairs, then turned her gaze to Shen Jiarou who was sitting upright.
"Girl, are there any gifts from the palace today?"
Shen Jiarou raised her eyes and said, "Concubine De and the third sister came first, and the other palaces sent people to deliver gifts."
From Concubine De's perspective, the Empress Dowager could also understand.
"What do you think of Concubine De and your third sister?"
Shen Jiarou was stunned. Why did the Empress Dowager ask this in front of her mother and the Crown Prince? She had to answer carefully.
"She seems easy to get along with, but Third Sister is too shy. Maybe it's because it's our first meeting."
The Queen Mother and the Empress looked at each other, and then the Queen Mother said kindly, "It's good as long as we can get along."
After the Queen Mother asked a few questions, Shen Jiarou hesitated to speak, and the Queen happened to see it.
"Does the princess have anything to say?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince looked over together.
"I want to tell the Empress Dowager that I want to go back to the mansion tomorrow and bring some money to the palace with me. I will inevitably need to make arrangements."
Seeing that she was so thoughtful, the Queen Mother smiled with relief.
"Okay, the Empress Dowager has approved it. Come over tomorrow to have breakfast with the Empress Dowager, and you can make your own arrangements afterwards."
Shen Jiarou was overjoyed when she heard this, "Thank you, Grandmother."
After Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty finished dealing with the memorials, he came to Fushou Palace. It was already the hour of You.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Shen Jiarou saw the tall, bright yellow figure appear and bowed respectfully.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
"My son, I will meet my father."
"My son, I will meet my father."
Seeing the little girl behind the queen, Emperor Yuan Shun kept his eyes on her.
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Father."
After Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty paid his respects to the Empress Dowager, everyone waited for him to sit down before they sat down one by one.
"Yiyi, are you still adapting?"
Shen Jiarou stood up and replied, "Father, everything is fine."
At this, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded with satisfaction.
Nanny Gui stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Please move to the dining hall."
Everyone looked at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Emperor Yuan Shun stood up and helped his mother up. The Empress also came over to support the Empress Dowager. The Crown Prince and Shen Jiarou looked at each other silently and followed.
Seeing the table full of dishes, the Queen Mother said gently and lovingly, "Today's dinner is mostly vegetarian, you should just take it as a way to nourish your body."
The four of them nodded slightly.
The Empress Dowager was the first to pick up her chopsticks, followed by Emperor Shun of Yuan, then the Empress, then the Crown Prince, and finally Shen Jiarou.
Although everyone at the table ate in silence, it was a feast to the eyes. After all, from the old to the young, their looks and temperament were all top-notch.
Wait until everyone has finished their meal, wipe their mouths and wash their hands again.
The Queen Mother seemed to be in very good spirits, perhaps because all her direct descendants had arrived.
"Girl, are you full?"
Shen Jiarou lowered her head shyly and said, "Grandmother, Yi Yi is full."
Why am I asking her suddenly? It's so awkward and embarrassing.
Seeing the blush on the little girl's cheeks, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty smiled heartily.
"It's rare to see a girl like you being shy."
Shen Jiarou was furious and said angrily, "Father, how can you be so happy?"
The Queen Mother agreed, "You are a happy person, of course I am looking for you to make you happy."
The queen smiled and watched the scene silently.
The prince's mouth curled up, and his mood at the moment was self-evident.
The queen thought that tomorrow was the day when the concubines would pay their respects to her, and looked at her daughter with a blushing face.
"Mother, Your Majesty, the concubines in the harem will pay their respects tomorrow. Why don't you let Yi Yi Yi meet with everyone?"
Shen Jiarou thought of what the Empress Dowager said about having breakfast together, and turned her gaze to the noble lady sitting on the phoenix chair.
"That's fine. That girl doesn't have to accompany the Imperial Grandmother tomorrow. There's still a lot of time to go. She can meet the concubines in the harem first."
Shen Jiarou stood up gracefully and said, "Yes, Grandmother."
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty returned to Fengyi Palace with the Empress, but she got up early the next day to help him change his clothes and go to court.
"Thank you, Queen, for taking care of Yi Yi today."
The queen's always gentle face showed a faint smile. "Even if the emperor doesn't say it, I will still remind you one by one."
After being married for many years, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty showed rare tenderness and gave the Empress a gentle kiss on the forehead.
The soft touch was so powerful that the queen was stunned.
"I am going to court."
The Queen mechanically bowed and saw him off. When the familiar figure disappeared from her sight, the Queen placed her hand on his forehead.
"Yuechu, was I hallucinating just now?"
Bai Yuechu's face was filled with joy as she opened her mouth slightly.
"My Lady, the Emperor kissed you. I saw it clearly."
The queen blushed and said coquettishly, "You are just looking for your master to have fun."
"The slaves dare not."
After the Queen had washed, changed her clothes and put on her makeup, Shen Jiarou and her Aunt Zhenhua had already arrived at the main hall of Fengyi Palace.
When the queen came out, she saw a familiar figure sitting gracefully on the chair, and she pursed her lips slightly.
"The princess is here."
Hearing the voice, Shen Jiarou stood up and saluted.
"My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother!"
The Queen sat down with the help of Nanny Luo and looked up and down at the little person in front of her.
"That's right, no need to be polite! You can sit down and talk, and then you can have breakfast in a while."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while and then went to the dining room for breakfast.
Although Shen Jiarou ate a lot, her movements were orderly, graceful and elegant. The Queen silently praised her in her heart, saying that she was worthy of being the one chosen by the Emperor.
Thinking about how she drank a bowl of mung bean porridge, a white flour bun, and a plate of dumplings, and her unconcealed eating habits and appetite, Shen Jiarou didn't realize she ate too much when she thought about the "tough battle" that was coming.
The concubines of lower rank went to the main hall one after another to wait, and then Concubine De came in slowly.
When the Queen appeared with Shen Jiarou, Concubine Zhang arrived late.
Shen Jiarou looked at her mother's expression inconspicuously. Seeing that she was no different, she calmed down and faced her father's women seriously.
"Your Majesty, I am late. Please punish me."
The queen glanced at her calmly and said, "It's okay today, your Highness, please take a seat first."
After the eunuch announced the news, all the concubines bowed respectfully and paid their respects!
"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
The queen sitting on the phoenix chair was dignified and dignified. "No need to be polite. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Queen."
After all the concubines sat down properly, her eyes vaguely glanced at the figure beside them.
