The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 750 The Queen Mother Wants Shen Jiarou to Become the Queen

The court officials looked towards the door in shock. The graceful and elegant empress dowager, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, walked in, supported by Luo.

"Your Highness and I pay our respects to the Queen Mother."

Since she was wearing armor, Shen Jiarou bowed respectfully.

"Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be well."

Seeing her daughter returning safely, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.

"No gift."

Ji Chenyu stood up and walked towards the Queen Mother

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother." He stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother up to the top to stand and look down at the entire audience.

"Mother, why are you here so suddenly?"

"Today is the great day when your fourth sister, the emperor, returns to the capital. I am here to welcome our general and the regent princess."

Shen Jiarou always felt that it was very strange that her mother appeared at this time. She looked at Ji Chenyu and spoke seriously.

"Brother, I haven't finished what I just said. I want to take the children back to the fiefdom."

The Queen Mother disagreed and said, "Nonsense! The children's grandparents are all in the capital. Why bring them back to their fiefdom?"

"My son..."

The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop her from speaking. As a subject and a daughter, Shen Jiarou finally stopped talking about wanting to return her fiefdom.

The empress dowager looked at Ji Chenyu solemnly, and her questions not only stunned Ji Chenyu, but also Shen Jiarou and the court officials.

"Emperor, have you ever rewarded those meritorious officials?"

"I have already been rewarded."

"What about your fourth sister?"

Ji Chenyu looked at Shen Jiarou below and met her clear eyes.

"I am still asking for the Fourth Princess's opinion."

The Queen Mother said, "The Regent Princess is already above the emperor and below ten thousand people. There is no more title to be given to her. How are you going to give her a title?"

Now not only Ji Chenyu was in trouble, but the court officials were also in trouble.

Wang Taifu said: "The current status of the Regent Princess is no longer in a position to be promoted."

General Bai nodded in agreement: "Master Taifu, this is indeed true."

I just don’t know how the emperor will reward the regent princess.

The court officials below were discussing among themselves, and they all felt embarrassed about the reward for Shen Jiarou.

Ji Chenyu coughed violently. The anxious queen mother showed worry. Thinking of his current physical condition, she asked Ji Chenyu directly.

"I think there is a position that is very suitable."

Fourier cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what position the Queen Mother is talking about?"

How could he not know that there was a suitable position for his junior sister?

"A country cannot be without a monarch for a day, nor can it be without a queen. The throne has been vacant for many years, and now it is time to let someone capable take it. I believe that the regent princess, who is capable of governing the country with her literary talent and managing the country with her martial arts, will be able to handle the affairs of the harem with ease."

Shen Jiarou looked up in shock: What on earth is the Queen Mother talking about? How could such a ridiculous thing be brought up in the court?

"Mother, are you crazy? Your son and I are siblings from the same mother."

Wang Taifu also refuted: "Queen Dowager, this is absolutely not allowed."

The Queen Mother said directly, "Why not? Everyone in the court and the country knows that the Regent Princess is not my biological daughter, but the late emperor's savior. She was loved by the late emperor, so I brought her back and raised her in my name.

Cousins ​​can get married and have children. They are just siblings with no blood relationship at all. Why not? Or does the Grand Tutor not want the Emperor to have a queen? "

Upon hearing this, Wang Taifu bowed his hands in fear and said, "Queen Dowager, I am so terrified. I did not mean that. It is just that this goes against common sense."

"Since they are not siblings, why can't they be married? How can it be against moral principles? Or can you find someone more suitable than the Regent Princess to be the Queen?"

Tang Wenzong said: "Empress Dowager, most officials in the court have daughters of wealthy families, there must be someone suitable."

"Really? A status as noble as the Regent Princess?"

"This..." His daughter is in a high position of power, serving as the regent princess. Apart from her, there is no one else who can do this.

"Is the Housekeeper as powerful as the Princess Regent?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang remained silent. It was well known that his daughter had four mansions in the capital, not to mention those in her fiefdom. When it came to managing the household, no one could compare to her. Even just taking one mansion as an example, she might not be able to match her.

The Queen Mother looked down at the whole audience from a high place: "The Regent Princess was conferred the title of Xiangjun at the age of six and began to manage the household affairs. At the age of seven, she went to the capital to manage the huge Princess Mansion. Later, the late emperor personally granted her the Princess Yongkang Mansion. At the age of twelve, she married the late Prince Consort. At the age of sixteen, she gave birth to her eldest son Jiang Ziwen and eldest daughter, Princess Heshun Jiang Ziyi. In the following years, she gave birth to four sons and one daughter. Can your daughters surpass the people present in terms of the number of managers of the household?"

The ministers were speechless when asked. The girls in their families were all unmarried and had no children. Their experiences were also different from those of the Regent Princess. They were not much better, even compared with spies. The Queen Mother was just making things difficult for them.

Seeing that she had shocked the entire audience and left the courtiers speechless, the Queen Mother held her head high like a victorious peacock.

"Emperor, what do you think?"

"My son, but the Fourth Princess..."

"Why, do you dislike your fourth sister for having been married and having children?"

"No, I dare not." How could he dislike her? He was so heartbroken that he didn't even have time to express it.

"Then everyone will be happy."

Looking at her mother with a smile on her face, Shen Jiarou was depressed and speechless.

"Mother, I don't agree."

"You don't agree? The regent princess was originally appointed by the late emperor to assist the emperor. Are you trying to escape?"

Faced with her mother's question, Shen Jiarou argued with reason.

"Mother, I have never thought about this."

"Then why do you want to move your family to the fiefdom?"

"Your son..." Why did she want to go to the fiefdom? Wasn't it because her husband had passed away, and now that she had avenged herself, she didn't want to stay in this sad place.

But on the other hand, isn't this also an escape? If she goes to the fiefdom, she can only manage the fiefdom at most, which is very different from being a regent.

Seeing that her daughter had nothing to say, the empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief. She walked down the steps and looked seriously at Shen Jiarou, whom she regarded as her own daughter.

"My mother is old. Last time, you insisted on asking for permission to go to the battlefield. For more than a year, my mother has been worried about me sending her son to die. Now that you have finally returned safely and triumphantly, are you going to be separated from me again?

If one day I die of old age, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you by my bedside to show my filial piety, then what is the point of raising you as my daughter? "

Shen Jiarou was completely stumped by the empress dowager's question. She was able to choose to get married early and get the approval of her father, the emperor, the queen mother and the imperial grandmother because she got married in the capital. But when she left, she took away not only herself, but also her mother's beloved seven grandchildren.

The Queen Mother has no biological grandchildren. If she takes away her only thoughts, it will undoubtedly be the end of her life.

The Queen Mother persuaded Shen Jiarou with emotion and reason, and held Shen Jiarou's rough hand: "Yi Yi, your grandmother is also old. Can you bear not to be filial to her in her last days?"
