Chapter 103 Chenhua Palace
The more than one month he lived in Chengqian Palace was probably the most peaceful month for Gu Shijin in the past year.
Because she was still in the first three months of her pregnancy, Gu Shijin seldom went out, and she lived in Chengqian Palace, so it was even less likely that other concubines in the harem would come here to cause trouble for her.
However, as a concubine, she could not live in Chengqian Palace forever. If the ministers of the previous dynasty knew about this, they would definitely scold her as a concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people and seduced the emperor.
The pregnancy has been three months, and Doctor Song also said that her fetus is stable and she just needs to be careful in her daily life and there will be no problem.
That day, when Lu Junze came back from court, Gu Shijin proposed to him to move out of Chengqian Palace.
Lu Junze glanced at Gu Shijin and said, "An official also mentioned this matter at the morning court today."
Although Lu Junze didn't say anything at the time, he was unhappy in his heart.
These ministers did not do their work all day long, but instead kept an eye on his harem.
"Your Majesty, don't blame those ministers." Gu Shijin helped Lu Junze take off his dragon robe, "It is indeed inappropriate for me to live in Chengqian Palace all the time."
Lu Junze changed his clothes, took Gu Shijin's hand and walked over to sit down, saying, "What's wrong with it? I think it's very suitable."
Gu Shijin knew that Lu Junze was joking, and that he was not so stupid. She said, "Your Majesty..."
"Okay, I have prepared a place for Jin'er to live. I'll let Su Deyuan take you there later." Lu Junze patted Gu Shijin's hand.
Gu Shijin: "Your Majesty, I think the place next to Ningyu Pavilion where I lived before is very suitable, so I will live there."
Lu Junze shook his head and refused: "No, it's too remote there, and you are pregnant now, I am worried."
"Your Majesty, I will be more careful." Gu Shijin promised.
"That's not OK."
Gu Shijin pursed her lips and said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for this concubine to live in a palace by herself."
During the time she lived in Chengqian Palace, she also heard that Lu Junze renovated a palace. Gu Shijin could guess what it was used for.
Lu Junze lowered his head, stared into Gu Shijin's eyes, and said, "Inappropriate?"
"Then I will make Jin'er my consort."
Gu Shijin was really frightened by Lu Junze's shocking words.
She is currently a fourth-rank concubine. If she were to be promoted to a second-rank concubine all of a sudden, I'm afraid that not only the concubines in the harem would make a fuss, but even the ministers of the previous dynasty would make a fuss.
After all, she had only been in the emperor's favor for less than a year.
"Your Majesty!" Gu Shijin looked at Lu Junze helplessly, "I will stay."
Anyway, Song Xiuyi has set a precedent, so she just needs to not live in the main hall.
"Okay, that's good." Lu Junze smiled and scratched Gu Shijin's nose.
"Don't worry so much. No one will gossip."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
This was Lu Junze's kindness, and Gu Shijin didn't want to refuse too much and make Lu Junze sad.
Originally, it was said that Su Deyuan would take her to the palace, but in the end it was Lu Junze who took her there.
The palace is located very close to Chengqian Palace, so close that it is obviously not a place where a concubine can live.
When he saw the name of the palace, Gu Shijin was not just shocked, but panicked.
"Your Majesty, this..." Gu Shijin looked at the three words "Chenhua Palace" on the door plaque and felt that his future was worrying.
The word "Chen" is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Don't worry, Jin'er, Chenhua Palace has always been called this name."
It’s just that the character “陈” in the past was not this “陈”.
But there is no need to tell Jin'er about this.
Gu Shijin nodded doubtfully.
It’s no use for her to not believe it now. She has come this far and can only go ahead with it.
The Chenhua Palace was renovated very luxuriously, and its decoration and furnishings were even comparable to those of the Chengqian Palace.
Gu Shijin can live in Chenhua Palace, but he absolutely cannot live in the main hall.
The name of the side hall of Chenhua Palace is Guanju Hall. It is obvious that it was a deliberate arrangement, otherwise how could a side hall be called this name.
"This side hall is the largest one in Chenhua Palace. Jin'er, are you satisfied with it?" Lu Junze asked.
Gu Shijin was of course satisfied. The decoration of this side hall was even more luxurious than that of the main hall, and the ornaments were obviously top-notch works.
"Your Majesty, this palace is too luxurious and extravagant, and it is not suitable for me." Gu Shijin bowed.
No matter what she thinks in her heart, she has to do it for the sake of face, so that when someone talks about this matter in the future, she will have something to say.
"Jin'er!" Lu Junze pulled Gu Shijin to sit on the bed, "Don't worry, you're pregnant now, so you'll feel better if you live more comfortably."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Jin'er, I'm going to announce the news of your pregnancy." Lu Junze said.
Gu Shijin nodded: "Okay."
Although she is only three months pregnant, her belly is already bulging, and it can't be hidden even if she doesn't announce it.
Thinking of this, Gu Shijin thought of a funny thing. The last time there was a fire in Ningyu Pavilion and the concubines were confronting each other in Fengyi Palace, no one revealed the fact that Gu Shijin was pregnant.
In fact, Gu Shijin could probably guess the reason. As long as she didn't say it out loud, everyone could pretend that they didn't know that Gu Shijin was pregnant. After all, the crime of harming a concubine was less serious than the crime of harming the royal heir.
Everyone who should know already knows it, so it doesn’t matter whether it is said or not.
As soon as the news of Gu Shijin's pregnancy came out, the harem was as quiet as usual, and everyone was doing what they were supposed to do.
Not to mention that the most dangerous first three months have passed, the emperor now keeps a close eye on Concubine Jin, no one would cause trouble for Gu Shijin and make Lu Junze unhappy at this juncture.
Just look at how the emperor handled the fire in Ningyu Pavilion: severe punishment.
No one died in the fire in Ningyu Pavilion, and the emperor showed no leniency to these people. Even the second prince was taken away.
……
"My lady, Concubine Jin's pregnancy is stable now. Should we still proceed?"
"Take action? How? Rush in front of the emperor and take action?" The woman in pink palace dress said angrily.
"Jin Jieyu is so lucky to have the emperor protect her so much. In order to let her have a peaceful pregnancy, he even burned down Ningyu Pavilion and brought her to live in Chengqian Palace."
"Forget it, let's just wait and see. Concubine Jin is pregnant, so we shouldn't be the ones who are most anxious."
"Concubine Rong and Concubine Song have children, so they should be the most anxious."
"Yes, my lord."
……
Yufu Palace.
It was a day off today, and Concubine Rong was taking the eldest prince to study when her personal maid Ming Xia walked in.
Rong Fei saw her and said to the nanny beside her: "Take the eldest prince out to play for a while."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the eldest prince left, Concubine Rong asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin has moved out of Chengqian Palace."
"Oh?" Rong Fei smiled, "Finally moved out."
"Where do you live?"
Ming Xia looked at Concubine Rong's face and said carefully, "Chenhua Palace."
Concubine Rong was stunned. Chenhua Palace is closer than Chengqian Palace in Yufu Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has also changed the name of the Chenhua Palace, changing the character Chen to "Chen" with a "baogai" character."
