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

Rong Fei's expression changed, and she immediately knew which word Ming Xia was talking about.

Chen, the emperor really dotes on her. He actually uses such a word for a concubine's palace.

"Forget it, let's ignore her for now. It's not certain whether she can give birth or not." Concubine Rong waved her hand.

She didn't want to be like Concubine Song, who ended up losing custody of the eldest prince.

Concubine Rong saw everything that happened in Ningyu Pavilion before, but she didn't take any action just to see the emperor's reaction.

Concubine Rong was very glad that she didn't do anything extra.

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Fengyi Palace.

Now Shangguan Yan is no longer surprised by anything the emperor does. It’s just the name of a palace, a small matter.

The emperor wouldn't listen even if she told him, and it would just make him unhappy for no reason. In that case, then so be it, since the beauty pageant would have to take place anyway.

The next batch of newcomers are about to enter the palace, and Shangguan Yan doesn't believe that the emperor can still favor Concubine Jin as before.

Since Concubine Jin is pregnant and cannot serve the emperor in the palace, this is the best opportunity for these newcomers.

Shangguan Yan also wanted to see if there was anyone suitable to be controlled among this group of newcomers. Since Concubine Liu gave birth to a useless daughter, she could only look for new candidates.

This time she must be careful and not arouse the emperor's suspicion again, so at this time, Shangguan Yan does not want to attract the emperor's attention.

If she likes Concubine Jin, she can just pamper her, but she can't stand in her way.

No matter who the emperor favors, the next crown prince must be her, Shangguan Yan's child.

She must become the legitimate queen mother and empress dowager.

Inside Chenhua Palace, Song Jibai was checking whether all the items in the house were safe. Although he was the one who ordered the renovation of this palace, he couldn't keep an eye on it all the time. It would be easy for someone to tamper with it, so he still needed the imperial physician to check it again.

Lu Junze had something else to do in the previous court, so he accompanied Gu Shijin to take a general look at the Chenhua Palace and then left.

"Jin Jieyu, everything in Chenhua Palace is clean. There is nothing that can hurt your body, so please rest assured." Song Jibai clasped his fists.

"Thank you, Doctor Song." Gu Shijin nodded.

It seems that the last incident did shock everyone in the harem, otherwise Gu Shijin felt that these people would not miss this excellent opportunity.

Song Jibai: "My lady, you are too polite, but you cannot place roselle in your room."

"it is good."

Gu Shijin didn't ask why. She just had to listen to the imperial physician. She might not understand anyway even if she was asked.

Song Jibai looked at Shi Jin and didn't ask, so he didn't say anything. Later he told Lu Junze the same thing.

Anyway, Lu Junze's concern and worry for Gu Shijin is much greater than Gu Shijin himself.

But Jin Jieyu has a very good mentality. During pregnancy, people are afraid that pregnant women will think too much and affect the health of the fetus in their belly.

"My lady, the emperor treats you so well." Xingyue said happily after Song Jibai left.

In this harem, she has never seen anyone more favored than the young lady. When the young lady gives birth to a prince, the emperor will definitely promote the young lady to a concubine.

Gu Shijin glanced at Xingyue and shook his head, still looking so unstable.

"It would be great if the young lady gave birth to a prince this time." Xingyue put her hands together and prayed, "God bless us, and make sure our young lady gives birth to a prince."

Gu Shijin touched her belly and said, "It doesn't matter if she's a princess. I'd like her even if she's a princess."

Gu Shijin did not blame Xingyue for what she said. Xingyue was a native of ancient times, so it was normal for her to have such thoughts.

Besides, Xingyue had this idea only for her.

Xingyue was stunned, and immediately changed her words: "I was wrong. No matter whether it is a prince or a princess, they are definitely the cutest."

Gu Shijin smiled. Although Xingyue sometimes spoke without thinking, her mind worked very quickly and she had a big heart. That was why Gu Shijin was willing to keep Xingyue by his side.

Xing Zhu couldn't help laughing beside her, but she was an old hand in the palace and had seen many pregnant concubines. She was the first one to notice that something was wrong with Gu Shijin.

Xing Zhu looked at Gu Shijin's belly and said, "Your Highness is only three months pregnant, and you're already starting to show your pregnancy."

Everyone has a different physique. Some people become pregnant early, while others become pregnant late. Xingzhu didn’t think much about it at this time.

Although Gu Shijin thought this sentence was strange, she had no experience and just thought that her physique was special.

Gu Shijin touched her belly and nodded, "Yes, I can't wear many clothes anymore."

"The Emperor has asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a lot of new clothes for you, would you like to take them and have a look?"

It was alright anyway. The weather was hot now and Gu Shijin didn't want to go out, so she said, "Okay."

The fabrics of these clothes are very valuable, and you can tell at a glance that they are the best in terms of workmanship and style.

But at the same time, it is also something that Gu Shijin, with his position, can get out of.

There was a lavender and a dark green one among them, and Gu Shijin liked them at first sight.

"My lady, you have a very good eye. This purple piece is made of a fabric called Longxiao. This fabric is light and breathable, and is most suitable for making summer clothes." Xingzhu said.

Moreover, this kind of cloth was a tribute, and there were only ten pieces every year. Many times, even the imperial concubine could not get it.

And it would be even more luxurious to use it directly to make clothes.

Xingyue said happily: "My lady is pregnant now, and she is most afraid of heat. This dress is just right for her now."

"Yes."

"What about this one?" Gu Shijin asked as he picked up the dark green one.

Gu Shijin had a hunch that the material should not be cheap.

"This is rain silk brocade. Although it's not as precious and rare as dragon silk, it is also an extremely valuable fabric." Xingzhu introduced.

"Okay, put it away first."

"Yes, my lord."

She is staying in the house now. There is plenty of ice in the house and it is very cool, so she doesn't need to wear this.

……

After leaving Chenhua Palace, Song Jibai went directly to Chengqian Palace.

When Song Jibai arrived, Lu Junze had finished his work and was drinking tea while waiting for him.

Lu Junze picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Song Jibai. Song Jibai didn't hesitate and walked over, sat down and started drinking.

"How?" Lu Junze asked.

Of course, he didn't ask about the tea, but whether there was anything unusual in Chenhua Palace.

Song Jibai drank the tea in one gulp and rolled his eyes at Lu Junze, "You are the one who is watching over Chenhua Palace personally, how could there be any accidents?"

"However, a lot of the new wood used in Guanju Palace is nanmu. This kind of wood cannot be placed together with Roselle, as it will easily cause people to bleed profusely." Song Jibai said.

"Namu?"

Lu Junze remembered that his subordinates came to ask him at that time and said that nanmu was an extremely precious species, so Lu Junze agreed to use it.

I don't know whether this was intentional or unintentional.

Song Jibai continued: "This method is extremely covert, and ordinary people will not know about it."

Song Jibai also knew this because of his travels over the years.

"I see."

"There is one more thing. Concubine Jin is pregnant with twins."
