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

After Concubine Zhang left, Gu Shijin said, "You all know?"

Xingzhu and Xingyue looked at each other and didn't say anything. They all knew about it, but they didn't want it to affect the young lady's mood, so they didn't tell Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin understood when he saw that they were all silent, and sighed softly.

She knew that the emperor's favor in the palace would not last forever, but she did not expect such a person to appear.

This made her feel very blocked.

"My lady, are you okay?" Xingyue asked worriedly while supporting Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin waved her hands. Fortunately, fortunately, she did not fall in love with the emperor irrationally.

The emperor is always the emperor.

"My lady, why don't we go back?" Xing Zhu said.

Gu Shijin glanced at Xingzhu and said, "What are you going to do? Xiaolinzi has brought the mosquito repellent incense, so we can't waste it."

The two looked up and saw Xiao Linzi lighting mosquito repellent incense in the pavilion.

Gu Shijin sat in Fubiting Pavilion for more than an hour, doing nothing and just in a daze. Xingzhu and Xingyue knew that the young lady was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb her.

In fact, if Lu Junze favored anyone, Gu Shijin would not feel as uncomfortable as she does now, because she had long known that the emperor would not be Lu Junze just for her, and she had never thought of favoring him exclusively.

But Gu Shijin really found it difficult to accept the idea of ​​favoring someone who looked so similar to her.

As expected, in the harem only power and status are the most important.

Gu Shijin's eyes became more determined.

"Let's go back." Gu Shijin stood up and said slowly.

"Yes, my lord."

……

In fact, not long after Gu Shijin met Concubine Zhang, Lu Junze got the news.

At this time, Lu Junze was changing clothes to attend the palace banquet. When he heard the secret guard's words, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

The reason why Lu Junze let Zhang Weimo enter the palace was naturally not because she had a face similar to Jin'er, but... to fulfill the person behind her.

Zhang Weimo was ostensibly the daughter of the magistrate of Lai County, but in reality she was a spy for the Xian King.

"How is Concubine Jin?" Lu Junze asked.

The secret guard thought for a moment and said, "Jin Jieyu doesn't look very well."

The palace banquet was about to begin, and Lu Junze couldn't possibly go look for Gu Shijin now. Moreover, today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and if he went to Chenhua Palace at night, he would bring hatred to Gu Shijin.

"Zhang Weimo." Lu Junze read these three words, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Let's go to the palace banquet first."

Su Deyuan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Palace banquets are all similar, with people eating, drinking, watching performances, and then dispersing when they are almost done.

But something big and not so big happened at the palace banquet today.

Concubine Zhang wrote a poem at the palace banquet, and the emperor liked it very much, so he waved his hand and said that he would go to her palace tonight.

When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was shocked, because today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

The Empress Dowager, the Queen and all the ministers tried to persuade them, but the Emperor rebuked them with one sentence, "Ministers, you don't need to worry about my family affairs. I am the Emperor."

The emperor just didn't want to go to Fengyi Palace, he didn't want to depose the queen. After weighing their interests, the ministers chose to keep silent.

Only the Queen felt humiliated in public, and her hatred for Concubine Zhang was almost solidified.

Although Concubine Zhang was a little frightened, she appeared very happy and thanked the emperor.

She couldn't change the emperor's decision, and she couldn't push the emperor away. If that were the case, the emperor probably wouldn't go to her anymore.

As soon as the palace banquet ended, Lu Junze took Concubine Zhang back to Chengqian Palace.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you would go to my palace?" asked Concubine Zhang.

Lu Junze smiled and lowered his head and said, "My beloved concubine is unwilling to go to Chengqian Palace?"

Concubine Zhang lowered her head shyly.

Shangguan Yan looked at the two people's backs as they left, and she started to smile. Since the emperor was so disrespectful to her, she couldn't blame her.

I thought the newcomer would be able to share some of Gu Shijin's favor when she entered the palace, but it turned out that she came to snatch her favor.

The reason why Lu Junze brought Concubine Zhang back to Chengqian Palace was because it would be more convenient for them to leave later.

Not long after returning to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Zhang fell asleep while sitting on a stool.

Lu Junze used a handkerchief to hold up her face and looked at it again and again, and suddenly asked, "Do those people think I'm a fool?"

"Or do you really think I am a tyrant?"

Do you think you can make him fall in love with you just by looking at your face?

Tianlin, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything. He also felt it was a bit outrageous.

"Let's go to Chenhua Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Junze no longer cared about Concubine Zhang on the stool.

Anyway, the drug Song Jibai made was very effective, and when they woke up the next day, they would feel like they had slept with the emperor.

I still remember the speechless expression on Song Jibai's face when Lu Junze asked him to make a medicine.

"What do you want this medicine for?" Song Jibai stared at Lu Junze hesitantly.

Lu Junze glanced at Song Jibai in confusion and said, "Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

In order to confuse the people behind these newcomers, Lu Junze has been very attentive during this period of time and has "favored" everyone.

It would be fine if the person behind the scenes was an ordinary person, but when it comes to a wise king, one has to be cautious.

Not to mention that the Concubine Dowager had raised him, just looking at the image of the virtuous king in the eyes of the ministers, it is really the word "virtuous" that counts, and it is hard to believe that he would have the idea of ​​rebellion.

It was also because the actions of the wise king had become more and more frequent in recent times that Lu Junze discovered some clues, otherwise he would not have noticed it.

The Fifteenth Emperor did not go to the Queen's Palace. Most of the concubines in the harem looked at the joke and thought that the Queen was about to fall out of favor completely.

When Concubine Lan returned to the palace, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Qiao Hui: "Congratulations, Madam."

"What is there to congratulate?" Although she said this, Lan Fei's tone did not express it that way.

"I don't think Shangguan Yan will be able to sit on the throne of Queen for much longer." The Queen's face was almost broken because she was deprived of the opportunity to sleep with the Queen by a noble who had just entered the palace.

"Your Majesty is right." Qiaohui complimented.

Her queen is actually not a bad person. She has never done anything harmful to the world in all the years since she entered the palace. She just wants to become the queen.

On the other side, Concubine Rong was more confused than Concubine Lan's heartless happiness.

The emperor is not a foolish or womanizing man. Rong Fei found his actions tonight very strange.

The Queen did have her faults, but it was not the time for the Emperor to turn against her. After all, the Prime Minister of the previous dynasty had not lost his power, and the Queen had not done anything outrageous.

"Did anything happen today?" asked Concubine Rong.

Ming Xia thought about it and shook her head, "My Lady, I haven't heard of it."

Apart from their personal maids, only the secret guards sent by the emperor knew that Gu Shijin and Zhang Guiren had met in the Imperial Garden.

Rong Fei was still a little worried, so she said, "Send someone to find out if anything strange happened in the palace today."

"Yes, ma'am."

When Lu Junze arrived at Chenhua Palace, Gu Shijin was preparing to rest.
