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

Especially Gu Shijin and Wang Guiren, they were completely unfamiliar with each other.

With Concubine Wang here, Gu Shijin and Concubine Ning couldn't talk much, and the three of them could only sit there in a daze. You looked at me, I looked at you. Finally, Concubine Wang probably realized that it was inconvenient for her to be here, so she took the initiative to leave.

"Does Concubine Wang come to see you often?" Gu Shijin asked.

Ning Jieyu shook her head and said, "Although we live close to each other, we rarely visit each other, and Lady Wang has seldom gone out in the past two years."

Gu Shijin thought about it carefully, and it was true. She had rarely seen Concubine Wang at banquets in the past two years, otherwise Gu Shijin would not have been unable to remember who Concubine Wang was when she heard her name.

"You should be more careful in the future and have less contact with her if possible." Gu Shijin said. Wang Guiren must have come here for her today. Otherwise, Gu Shijin really couldn't understand why the other party came here to cry and complain.

Ning Jieyu nodded and said, "I understand, sister."

After chatting for a while, Gu Shijin went back. There were two little guys in Chenhua Palace now, and Gu Shijin was always worried after being out for a long time.

It was also a coincidence that Gu Shijin met Lu Junze's carriage as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chenhua Palace.

"Greetings to the Emperor."

Lu Junze pulled Gu Shijin up and walked inside while asking, "Where did you go?"

Gu Shijin held Lu Junze's hand and said, "I went to Concubine Ning's place."

"The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so wear more clothes when you go out." Lu Junze asked Gu Shijin to sit down and poured her a cup of hot tea. "You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't leave any roots of illness."

Gu Shijin had a good confinement period. Doctor Song said that she can go out for a walk now, so Gu Shijin went out today.

Gu Shijin took the tea and took a sip, then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Doctor Song said that I have almost recovered and it would be good for me to go out for a walk more often."

Lu Junze touched her head and said, “Anyway, you should take care of yourself. I hope I can grow old with Jin’er.”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet.

Lu Junze blurted out these words without thinking at all. He felt a little uncomfortable when he first said them, but then he felt relieved. He really hoped that there would be someone to accompany him for the rest of his life. If this person was Gu Shijin, Lu Junze would be willing.

At the beginning, Lu Junze's feelings for Gu Shijin may have been just a quick glimpse in the Imperial Garden, but after spending such a long time together, Lu Junze did have different feelings for Gu Shijin. He liked being with Gu Shijin. Maybe it was too early to express this feeling as love now, but this feeling was enough to support Lu Junze's idea of ​​wanting to continue walking hand in hand with Gu Shijin.

When it comes to feelings, Lu Junze doesn't like to escape. He is the emperor and he has enough capital to like someone.

But Gu Shijin was indeed surprised when she heard Lu Junze's words. She knew that Lu Junze treated her differently from others, but how big the difference was and how deep the feelings were, Gu Shijin was unwilling to delve into it.

Now, when she suddenly heard Lu Junze say this, she was surprised and astonished, but at the same time, she felt a little secretly happy in her heart. It turned out that Lu Junze wanted to grow old with her.

Unfortunately, Lu Junze is the emperor, and Gu Shijin doesn't dare to bet on how long Lu Junze's love can last.

Before, Lu Junze and Emperor Shangguan Yan treated each other with respect. Did Lu Junze really have no feelings for the Queen at that time?

Before I was in the harem, the emperor doted on Concubine Lan. So what were his feelings for her?

These are all lessons learned from Gu Shijin's past. The emperor's favor is illusory, and Gu Shijin would never gamble on it.

But Gu Shijin definitely couldn't say such things at this time.

Gu Shijin's eyes turned red, and she buried her head in Lu Junze's arms, saying in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I also hope that I can stay with you forever."

Lu Junze patted Gu Shijin on the back, his eyes full of tenderness.

"We can definitely do it, Jin'er, don't worry." Lu Junze said.

"Yeah." Gu Shijin looked up at Lu Junze's eyes, smiled shyly, and said, "Your Majesty, I feel so happy."

This sentence was not entirely a lie. She traveled here and found her relatives. Although she was in the harem and had to fight openly and secretly every day and live cautiously, compared with most other concubines, she lived a very comfortable life because of Lu Junze's favor.

One should not have too high expectations and should not have everything, so Gu Shijin felt that he was quite happy. But if you ask Gu Shijin if he is satisfied, he is definitely not satisfied.

The two were full of affection. Lu Junze lowered his head and kissed Gu Shijin's lips tenderly and lovingly.

Gu Shijin closed his eyes, enjoying Lu Junze's kiss, feeling Lu Junze's body temperature, and feeling the faint scent of ambergris on Lu Junze's body.

Lu Junze didn't kiss her on the head, knowing that Gu Shijin had just come out of confinement and was not suitable for anything too intense, so he kissed her for a while and then let go.

As soon as the two separated, Gu Shijin heard the crying of a baby.

"Your Majesty, it seems like the child is crying." Gu Shijin pushed Lu Junze's shoulder and looked at him with a helpless look.

Lu Junze smiled helplessly, helped Gu Shijin sort out his clothes, and said, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

Gu Shijin held Lu Junze's hand and said, "Okay."

The two children had indeed woken up. When they saw Gu Shijin and Lu Junze coming over, their sullen expressions immediately changed and they looked at them with smiles.

The fourth prince even stretched out his arms and wanted Gu Shijin to hug him.

"The Fourth Prince is so smart." The Fourth Prince's wet nurse said upon seeing this.

Lu Junze grabbed the fourth prince's hand and teased him, "Father, can you hold me?"

The Fourth Prince was not afraid either, and slapped Lu Junze on the face with his little hand.

The sound was so loud that it startled everyone around.

"Uh... Your Majesty, Yuan'er didn't mean it." Gu Shijin said a little embarrassedly. She didn't expect her little son to be so fierce and slap Lu Junze in the face. Lu Junze has never been slapped in his life.

Lu Junze himself didn't care at all, grabbing the fourth prince's hand, "It's okay."

It wasn't intentional, so he wouldn't bother with a kid.

"You are so brave at such a young age. You will definitely become a great general when you grow up." Lu Junze pinched the fourth prince's little face, "Isn't that right?"

Lu Junze and Gu Shijin both knew that this was just a joke, but the palace servants around them might not think so.

"Your Majesty, Yuan'er is still young. Why do you want him to become a general?" Gu Shijin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Children need to be nurtured from an early age."

Gu Shijin shook his head and said nothing more. The more his father looked at his child, the more he loved him.

"The third prince is still so reluctant to move." Lu Junze glanced at the third prince held by Gu Shijin.

"Ajin is quiet, and he will probably be a calm person when he grows up."
