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

Ning Jieyu blinked her eyes and said, "Sister, call me Yue'er."

Whenever she was alone with Gu Shijin, Concubine Ning would regain her lively and cheerful personality. No one knew how she could usually endure it.

"And I was able to be promoted because of my sister. I should thank my sister." Concubine Ning said seriously. She had a clear understanding of herself and knew that the emperor did not like her.

Gu Shijin smiled and patted Ning Jieyu's hand. "Your promotion depends on yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

You have good medical skills and a kind heart.

"I have sent you several pieces of cloth. You can use them to make some new clothes." Concubine Ning also had cloth bestowed by the emperor, but it was not as good as the one brought by Gu Shijin.

"I saw you wearing this dress three years ago." Gu Shijin said, staring at Concubine Ning's clothes.

Ning Jieyu raised her sleeves and looked at her clothes, then smiled and said, "Old clothes are close to the skin and comfortable to wear. Anyway, not many people come here usually."

What Concubine Ning said actually makes sense. Life in the harem is already difficult, so why not make yourself happier in these aspects.

"You..." Gu Shijin shook his head. Concubine Ning's personality was not suitable for the palace at all. If she lived outside the palace all her life, she would definitely be a free and chivalrous doctor.

However, Ning Jieyu has a good character. It can be seen that even if she had to restrain her talents in order to enter the palace for the sake of her family, Ning Jieyu did not complain at all.

Alas, this is also the sorrow of the daughters of large families. After enjoying the wealthy life and glory given by the family, they must shoulder part of the family's responsibilities, and the responsibility of women is to arrange marriages.

How many women in the harem entered the palace out of helplessness? Moreover, the harem is a big dye vat. If a woman does not have a strong character, she will be dyed into a mess sooner or later.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Ning Jieyu asked when she saw a trace of sadness in Gu Shijin's eyes.

"It's okay." Gu Shijin shook his head and said, "You should go out more often. Don't stay in the palace every day. Even if you don't like to go to other places, you can always go to Chenhua Palace."

Ning Jieyu: "Of course, my sister lives in Chenhua Palace, and Yue'er likes to go there the most."

"Jin Xiuyi, my lady, Concubine Wang is here." The palace maid came in to report.

"Noble Lady Wang?" Gu Shijin asked in confusion. Who was this Noble Lady Wang? Why didn't she have any impression of her?

Ning Jieyu: "Sister, have you forgotten? You will know who it is when you see me later."

After saying that, Concubine Ning ordered the palace maid, "Please ask her to come in."

As soon as the person came in, Gu Shijin remembered who this person was.

"Sister pays her respects to Jin Xiuyi and Ning Jieyu." Concubine Wang bowed.

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "No need to be polite, noble lady Wang."

Gu Shijin had a very distant impression of this noble lady Wang, and it went back to the time when Gu Shijin first went to pay his respects to Queen Shangguan Yan.

This noble lady Wang was one of the three noble ladies at that time. One of the three noble ladies at that time had died, one was Concubine Ning who was sitting next to her, and the last one was the ordinary noble lady Wang in front of her.

A long time ago, Gu Shijin had suspected this person, but Gu Shijin asked Xiao Linzi to keep an eye on her for a long time and nothing unusual happened, so Gu Shijin gradually forgot about this person.

If he hadn't met her today, Gu Shijin would have almost forgotten that there was a noble lady named Wang in the harem.

Ning Jieyu raised her hand and pointed, saying, "Sit down."

Lady Wang: "Thank you, sister."

Concubine Ning and Concubine Wang were not actually very familiar with each other, they just lived close to each other and would occasionally get together to chat. Concubine Ning had not expected Concubine Wang to come over today.

After all, in the past, Lady Wang didn't seem to like to join in the fun.

"How come Sister Wang has time to come here today?" Concubine Ning asked bluntly.

Concubine Wang was not angry either. She smiled and said, "It was too boring to stay in the palace, so I thought of coming over to chat with my sister. I didn't expect Jin Xiuyi to be here too."

After saying this, she seemed to react, looked up and asked in panic: "Did my sister disturb the sisters' chat?"

Gu Shijin had just been observing Concubine Wang. Her expression changed very naturally, not at all artificial or stiff, as if she really didn't know that Gu Shijin was with Concubine Ning.

Gu Shijin smiled and shook his head, "No, we were just chatting, and Wang Guiren came at the right time, so it's lively with more people."

Ning Jieyu didn't know what Gu Shijin meant, but she still cooperated and said, "Yes, it's more lively with more people."

"I rarely see my sister leaving the palace, but today is a chance for us to meet again." Gu Shijin said with a smile.

Wang Guiren's expression froze for a moment, then she whispered, "My sister has a low position, so she has to bow to other people when she goes out. If she offends someone, she will be punished. Over time, she will be unwilling to go out."

Gu Shijin looked at Concubine Wang in surprise. She didn't expect Concubine Wang to say such a thing, but it was indeed true.

It is really hard to live in this palace without a position and without the emperor's favor. Sometimes, even the palace servants cannot take your place.

Just like Concubine Wang, if she meets the palace maids around the Queen or the Imperial Concubine, she has to behave herself properly, otherwise she will be bullied if she is not careful.

However, Gu Shijin certainly couldn't agree. Ning Jieyu looked at Wang Guiren with some concern and said, "What happened to Wang Meijie? Was she bullied?"

Lady Wang: "No."

Having said that, Concubine Wang's eyes turned red. Gu Shijin and Concubine Ning looked at each other. This was not nothing, this was just being bullied.

Gu Shijin looked at the maidservant brought by Noble Lady Wang and asked, "What happened to your young master?"

Gu Shijin has the highest position here, so it’s okay for him to ask this question.

The palace maid looked at Concubine Wang cautiously, as if she didn't dare to say anything.

Gu Shijin was speechless. Didn't this person come here today just to talk nonsense? This pretentious look made Gu Shijin want to leave.

Gu Shijin: "Just tell me, I won't punish you."

The palace maid gritted her teeth, knelt on the ground and said, "In reply to Jin Xiuyi, the young lady just met Concubine Lin on the way here, Concubine Lin..."

Before the maid finished speaking, Gu Shijin already knew what was going on. Concubine Lin was arrogant and brainless, and she couldn't help but make some sarcastic remarks when she met Concubine Wang, who was not favored.

Ning Jieyu also knew this, and she comforted her, "Noble Lady Lin has a domineering personality. If you are wronged, go tell the Queen or Concubine Lan, and they will definitely take care of it for you."

Now there are only these two people in the harem who can handle harem affairs. Although Gu Shijin is favored, he does not have the right to assist in managing the six palaces.

Lady Wang shook her head and said, "Sister, I know. Sister, I'm fine."

But deep down, Concubine Wang had already dealt with Concubine Lin thousands of times.

Gu Shijin and Ning Jieyu stopped talking. If you don’t want to go, then forget it. Their relationship is not good enough to help each other out.
