The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 247 The Princess Returns to Nanning County

Shen Jiarou saw the opponent's sword coming out, she bent down to avoid it, stood up with her head tilted to the left, and attacked with the sword in her right hand. The two swords collided with each other and sparks flashed.

Zheng Shutong stretched out his right leg to attack, but Shen Jiarou was quick-eyed and quick-body, and used her inner strength to fly up from the ground, dodging the kick.

Both of them had sweat on their faces. They smiled at each other and continued to draw their swords quickly.

The four great guards and others were enjoying the painting, while the five maids were painting enthusiastically.

Zhen Luosang said excitedly: "Princess, please hold on."

She got better immediately.

With the cooperation of Elemental Frost Eyes and Hands, she made the final move when the game ended in a tie.

Shen Jiarou panted and breathed: "I'm so tired."

Zheng Shutong is not much better.

The two men came to the stone table with swords and sat down. Bao Zhiqing walked over and poured tea for them.

"The princess has made a lot of progress and is still very good."

Hearing the master chef's praise, Shen Jiarou smiled brightly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Chef." She clasped her hands together and smiled mischievously.

Seeing this, Bao Zhiqing showed an indulgent smile on his face.

Feng Jingyun praised sincerely: "The princess is indeed amazing."

Her efforts were seen by everyone.

Hu Zhan woke up and ran directly to the courtyard following the smell.

Feeling her little feet being rubbed by something furry, Shen Jiarou lowered her head.

"Huzhan, don't be naughty, or I'll beat you up."

When Huzhan heard this, he cried out in grievance, and everyone laughed.

After a good rest, Shen Jiarou stood up to appreciate the paintings of the five people.

Five people paint, each with their own style.

"They are all good. You are really good at hiding your talents."

Five people refuted.

"Princess, I don't have any."

"Neither do I."

"Princess, please don't wrong us."

“That’s because we didn’t have the opportunity before.”

"It was an accident."

A maid came over in a hurry: "Princess, the county magistrate wants to see you."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The county magistrate was so fast.

In the main hall, the county magistrate in casual clothes sat on a chair waiting, drinking tea from a blue and white porcelain teacup in one hand and looking outside from time to time.

The news of the princess' return was discovered by the yamen runners. Thinking that it was too late yesterday, he resisted the urge to visit and ask for an audience.

The girl I haven't seen for a year has grown into a more graceful girl. She is still the same person, but her aura and temperament have changed.

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness be well!"

Shen Jiarou walked to the main seat gracefully and appropriately and sat down.

"Excuse me, sir. Please take a seat!"

She has to start socializing when she comes back. She is very different now than when she left, and there will probably be more people wanting to visit her.

The county magistrate was more respectful than before.

"Thank you, Princess."

"I haven't seen you for a year, and you look so rosy-cheeked." I don't know if it's because of their harmonious married life or their outstanding political achievements, but he looks so rosy-cheeked.

The county magistrate smiled respectfully and said, "It's all thanks to the princess's blessing."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, feeling that this man was more talkative than he was a year ago.

"It's a bit boring for us to sit here, why don't we go to the front yard to enjoy the scenery of the mansion?"

It was his honor to be invited by the princess.

"It is your honor."

"Okay, let's go."

There is Magnolia House in the front yard. Nanning County is located in the south, and the magnolia trees are in full bloom in April and early May.

When people walked into Magnolia House, the fragrance was like orchid, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

The county magistrate could not help but admire: "The courtyard of the princess's mansion is indeed unique."

The color is white with a slight green tint, and the flowers are large and beautiful, in white and lavender. If you look closely at the flowers, you will see a slight pink tint, which is very beautiful.

The chief steward Yang Liuhe brought people and brought the prepared cakes and snacks into Magnolia Residence.

"Princess, the cakes and snacks made in the kitchen are ready."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "Put it on the table."

Ruan Qingling and others placed a portion of peach blossom pastry, fermented rice cake, cooked lotus root, five-color large square cake, malt pancake, and green rice dumpling one by one.

Looking at the exquisite pastries and snacks on the stone table, served on a chic plate, makes people very appetizing at first sight.

"Sir, try it. The peach blossom cake and fermented rice cake are pretty good."

The table is filled with spring pastries and snacks, which are a cultural symbol of spring in this era, inheriting people's love and yearning for nature and life.

After going to the capital, it was also late spring, and she made peach blossom pastries many times.

"How do you feel, sir?"

The county magistrate was delighted as he ate it: "It has a beautiful appearance and a delicate taste. It is of high quality."

The princess's mansion must be full of exquisite pastries. I guess the princess has lived in the capital for a while and has tasted more pastries, especially those in the palace.

"This peach blossom pastry is famous for its delicate appearance and sweet taste. It is usually made of peach petals, lard, flour and red bean filling. The production process is not difficult."

If she had not really lived in this ancient time, she would have thought that people in ancient times had nothing. It was probably because she had not had enough experience before.

While the two of them were eating and drinking, Shen Jiarou had already grasped a general idea of ​​the situation in Nanning County.

However, she didn't ask directly, but got the information from a casual chat.

Ruan Qingling came to the princess and whispered in her ear: "Princess, lunch is almost here. The kitchen asked what dish the princess would like to eat for lunch today."

Shen Jiarou did not answer her directly, but looked up at the adult opposite her.

"Lunch time is almost here, why don't you stay and have lunch with us, sir?"

"I would be disrespectful to refuse your offer and trouble Her Royal Highness the Princess." Such a good thing cannot be missed.

The meals the princess eats are definitely good.

"How about some snacks?" Shen Jiarou decided to ask politely, after all, she was the host.

"It's all up to the princess."

Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling and nodded slightly. Ruan Qingling bowed and left, replying to the kitchen staff outside Yulanju.

"Let's quickly make some snacks."

"Yes, young lady." After the people in the kitchen left, Ruan Qingling returned to Shen Jiarou and waited for her.

At the dining table, four great guards accompanied them while six maids stood behind them busying themselves.

Zhen Luosang was quiet, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou raised her glass: "Sir, let's have a drink of tea instead of wine."

Over the years, she has mastered the etiquette of drinking and dining tables, and people in official circles may not know all of them as well as she does.

The county magistrate was slightly excited: "Thank you, Princess."

It is a great honor to be able to drink with the princess. I can brag about it for the rest of my life.

As her rank got higher, Shen Jiarou would not easily toast anyone, unless that person was more or less worthy of her respect, or in terms of how he behaved, or in terms of being honest and straightforward, or...

After a few drinks, the county magistrate was very happy. A year later, he ate at the same table with the little girl again.

She is still the same little person, but she is different now. She is now a legitimate princess of a country. What a noble identity this is.

In this life, if I could meet a princess-level figure once, I would be satisfied.
