The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

"Ningyu Pavilion was burned down, Concubine Jin will temporarily live in the side hall of Chengqian Palace." Lu Junze glanced at the queen, "Let's talk about it after the palace is repaired."

"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yan's hand trembled as he held the eldest princess. He forced himself to calm down, "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

How could a concubine live in Chengqian Palace?

Shangguan Yan forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, there are still many empty palaces in the harem, why not..."

"Queen," Lu Junze interrupted her, "I don't want something like this to happen again in the harem."

Shangguan Yan gritted his teeth and had to endure it.

Indeed, Shangguan Yan had already noticed the signs of these things. Although she did not participate in them, she did not stop them either. She just watched those people and even helped them sometimes.

The emperor's words were a reminder to her.

After saying that, Lu Junze ignored Shangguan Yan, walked down, took Gu Shijin's hand and walked out of Fengyi Palace.

"Your Majesty, please come."

Looking at the backs of the two people walking hand in hand, Shangguan Yan clenched his hands into fists, his nails piercing his palms, leaving marks of varying depths.

Gu Shijin!

Gu Shijin felt the piercing gaze from behind him, turned around and smiled faintly at Shangguan Yan.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Concubine Lan watched a good show today and is in a good mood now, especially at the end, when the Emperor obviously gave face to the Queen. If it weren't for etiquette, Concubine Lan really wanted to laugh out loud three times.

He pretends to be generous every day. He is obviously extremely jealous, but he actually does something bad behind people's backs.

It’s a pity that today’s incident did not affect the Queen.

After everyone from Fengyi Palace left, it was inevitable that the tea sets in Fengyi Palace were destroyed again.

Yunzhi looked at the eldest princess who was standing next to her and had not left yet, and sighed softly.

"Princess, can I take you back to Xiefang Palace?" Yunzhi asked softly, holding the princess' hand.

The eldest princess looked at the queen, then nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Yunzhi."

"My princess, you are embarrassing me."

Yunzhi really couldn't understand the Queen. The eldest princess was so sensible and cute, so why didn't the Queen like her?

Just because she is a princess, she cannot inherit the throne?

Shangguan Yan did not speak to the eldest princess again until Yunzhi took her away, and the eldest princess did not go up to see her mother as she did in the past.

……

Lu Junze looked unhappy all the way back to Chengqian Palace. Gu Shijin followed him all the way without saying anything, as if he couldn't see Lu Junze's ugly face.

Su Deyuan's eyes were twitching all the way.

In front of the Chengqian Palace, Lu Junze suddenly looked at Su Deyuan, "What's wrong? Is your eye injured?"

"Ah? Ah?" Su Deyuan lowered his head.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but laughed softly.

"Your Majesty, please don't embarrass Eunuch Su."

Lu Junze took Gu Shijin's hand and said as he walked, "You guys are just outside."

"Yes."

Since entering the room, Lu Junze sat on the couch and didn't say anything, while Gu Shijin ate the cakes on the table by himself.

When the plate of cakes was empty, Gu Shijin stood up, walked to Lu Junze, and snuggled into his arms, "Is the emperor angry?"

Lu Junze endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it. He touched Gu Shijin's hair and said helplessly: "Jin'er, do you care about your own body and safety?"

"Do you know how dangerous this is today?"

Gu Shijin raised his head, looked at Lu Junze and said word by word: "But doesn't the emperor also support me?"

Otherwise, why would Lu Junze ask her to come to Chengqian Palace halfway.

Gu Shijin never thought of hiding her plan from Lu Junze, and she knew she couldn't hide it.

Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Gu Shijin had been planning step by step. Although Lu Junze had many dissatisfactions, he did not stop her.

"Jin'er, I didn't stop you because I didn't want to make you unhappy, but it doesn't mean I think what you did is right."

"Jin'er, you don't believe me!"

Lu Junze spoke the last sentence with great emphasis.

Gu Shijin: "Your Majesty..."

It’s better to say that she doesn’t trust the emperor than to say that she doesn’t trust Lu Junze.

I can't believe the king of a country.

Now that Lu Junze likes her, he will naturally protect her everywhere, but what if one day Lu Junze no longer likes her?

Gu Shijin was also taking a gamble this time.

She bet on Lu Junze's feelings for her, and luckily she won in the end.

"Jin'er, I said I would protect you and your son, and I will definitely protect you and your son. Try to believe me, okay?"

Lu Junze was not particularly angry about Gu Shijin's distrust of him. The harem was a very complicated place, and only by not trusting anyone could you go long term.

Lu Junze was angry because Gu Shijin took risks with her body. What if, what if he failed to protect her?

Gu Shijin looked up at Lu Junze, her eyes slightly red, her voice a little hoarse, "So Your Majesty, I believe in you, and I believe you can protect me."

“You…” Lu Junze pinched Gu Shijin’s nose, feeling helpless and doting: “I really can’t do anything about you.”

Gu Shijin stuck out his tongue, "That's also because the emperor loves her."

"You can stay in Chengqian Palace first. Don't worry, there is no place safer than Chengqian Palace in the entire palace."

He was not such a useless emperor that he could not even guarantee the safety of his own palace.

Gu Shijin hugged Lu Junze's waist and whispered, "Of course I believe in the emperor. In my heart, the emperor is the most powerful and will definitely protect me and the baby in my belly."

"You, just know how to make me happy."

"No, I am telling the truth."

“Your Majesty, look,” Gu Shijin raised her head, looked into Lu Junze’s eyes and blinked her own, “Is there sincerity in my concubine’s eyes?”

Lu Junze lowered his head and faced Gu Shijin face to face, "Let me take a closer look at how sincere Jin'er is."

After saying that, Lu Junze lowered his head and kissed Gu Shijin on the lips.

"Yeah, very sincere!"

Gu Shijin was shocked. Before, Lu Junze had only kissed her forehead at most, and this was the first time he kissed her lips.

The feeling was different. Gu Shijin felt tingling in his heart, and his heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty..." Gu Shijin lowered his head, his face flushed.

No matter in the past life or this life, this is Gu Shijin’s first kiss.

"Your Majesty," Gu Shijin suddenly wanted to know, "Have you ever kissed anyone else?"

Gu Shijin didn't know why she asked this question, she just really wanted to know the answer.

Lu Junze was also silent for a while, and said, "No."

"I don't like the women in the harem, but I am the emperor and there are things I have to do."

Gu Shijin understood that this was a feudal era, and she would not use modern people's thinking to force others, making others uncomfortable and herself uncomfortable.

"Jin'er, I hope you'll be well and stay with me forever."
