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

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." Queen Shangguan Yan stood up and bowed politely after seeing Lu Junze coming.

The queen has been very well behaved recently. She has not participated in the struggles in the harem and often goes to Xiefang Palace to see the eldest princess. Lu Junze has a much better impression of her.

After all, Shangguan Yan has been married to her for so many years and has done a lot for him. As long as she behaves herself, Lu Junze is still willing to fulfill her glory.

Lu Junze stepped forward to support Shangguan Yan and said softly, "Queen, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Yan felt Lu Junze's attitude and felt a little happy. It seemed that the emperor was not completely without any feelings.

What she did during this period was not in vain.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, so I didn't prepare any tea." Shangguan Yan picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Lu Junze, "This is the mung bean soup that I asked the kitchen to prepare. Your Majesty, please have a taste."

Shangguan Yan asked Lu Junze to come over at this time because he had someone make inquiries and found out that the emperor would not go to Chenhua Palace today.

Lu Junze did not refuse, took it and tasted it, saying: "It tastes good, the queen is thoughtful."

What Lu Junze said was true. He always thought that only Gu Shijin's Chenhua Palace could taste something different in this palace. He didn't expect that the mung bean soup in the Queen's Palace was quite good.

Lu Junze looked at the queen in surprise.

Shangguan Yan also smiled, without any gloom in her smile, "As long as the emperor likes it."

"State affairs have been busy lately, so Your Majesty should also pay more attention to rest."

Lu Junze put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I know what's going on. Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

If Gu Shijin were here, he would definitely roll his eyes. They are obviously husband and wife, but it is so difficult for them to get along with each other. They have to think twice before saying anything. This is the royal family.

"The Queen asked me to come here because of something?" Lu Junze asked.

Although he was willing to give the queen the face she deserved, he and the queen really had nothing to talk about.

Shangguan Yan: "Your Majesty, today Concubine De came to see me. She wants to officially register the Second Princess under her name."

Although the second princess is now temporarily handed over to Concubine De for raising, her name has not been changed in the royal family tree. What Concubine De meant is that she wants to record the second princess under her name in the royal family tree.

Lu Junze frowned. Because of a series of things the imperial concubine had done, Lu Junze had actually erased the imperial concubine from the royal family tree.

It is not impossible to register the Second Princess under the name of Concubine De. It can even be said that it just solves some difficulties. However... Lu Junze still has his own concerns. After all, the Second Princess now has her memory, and everything still needs to be asked for her opinion.

"Let me ask the second princess first. She has her own opinions now." Lu Junze said.

Shangguan Yan nodded and said, "That's right. The Second Princess has lived with Concubine De for a while. She should know whether Concubine De is sincere to her. She can decide for herself to avoid any trouble in the future..."

Shangguan Yan didn't finish her words, but Lu Junze already knew what she wanted to say.

"Ah."

After saying that, Lu Junze stood up and prepared to return to Chengqian Palace. He was not planning to stay in Fengyi Palace overnight.

Shangguan Yan saw Lu Junze's actions and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He stood up and asked, "It's getting late now. Your Majesty should stay in Fengyi Palace to rest."

Shangguan Yan said this just to show her consideration, because she knew Lu Junze would not stay, but she still had to do what she should do as the queen. However, she did not expect Lu Junze to pause and actually agreed.

Shangguan Yan was stunned at first, and then a trace of joy flashed across her face. The emperor had not stayed in Fengyi Palace for a long time.

In fact, Lu Junze didn’t think too much about it. First, it was really late now and there was no need to go back to Chengqian Palace. Second, the queen had been behaving well recently, and he was willing to save her face.

However, he just slept in Fengyi Palace and did nothing else, but even so, it was already very good for the Queen.

After all, other people didn’t know that the emperor did nothing during his stay in Fengyi Palace all night. They just felt that the queen seemed to have regained the emperor’s favor.

Only Gu Shijin thought differently.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor went to Fengyi Palace and seemed to have fallen asleep there." Xiao Linzi said.

He actually didn't go out of his way to inquire about Lu Junze's whereabouts. Inquiring about the emperor's whereabouts was a serious crime, and Xiao Linzi didn't have the courage to do so. It was just that the emperor's stay at Fengyi Palace was too surprising for everyone, so the news came out very quickly.

Gu Shijin was writing. She was not very sleepy today, so she wanted to practice calligraphy before going to sleep.

After hearing Xiao Linzi's words, Gu Shijin's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to practice calligraphy stroke by stroke. She said, "You can stay overnight. After all, she is the queen. Isn't it normal for the emperor to stay overnight in Fengyi Palace?"

"It would be unusual for the Emperor not to stay the night so late, right?"

Besides, the Queen has been so well-behaved recently, the Emperor will definitely give her some face. If she leaves Fengyi Palace so late, wouldn't the Emperor be slapping the Queen in the face?

I have to say that Gu Shijin really knows Lu Junze well.

"Your Majesty, will the Emperor..." Xingyue asked in a low voice.

If the emperor favors the queen again, then the harem will definitely change again. It has taken so much effort to achieve peace.

Gu Shijin glanced at Xingyue and said with a smile: "The emperor has his own plans, don't make irresponsible remarks."

Although Chenhua Palace is very safe, walls have ears. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"Yes, ma'am."

but……

"Call me early tomorrow to pay my respects to the Queen." Gu Shijin said after writing the last word and putting down the brush.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ever since the Emperor divided part of the power to assist in managing the six palaces between Concubine Lan and her, the Queen seldom allows people to pay respects at Chenhua Palace, but everyone will definitely go tomorrow.

After all, it was the Queen Mother who regained her favor.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but shake his head. This harem really all revolves around the emperor.

The next morning, when Gu Shijin arrived, most people had already arrived, even Concubine Xian had come.

Gu Shijin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is the power of the Queen's restoration of favor so great?

"Chenhua Palace is so close to Fengyi Palace, why did Concubine Jin come so late?" Concubine Lan glanced at Gu Shijin and said.

Gu Shijin glanced at Lan Fei, not understanding what she meant. She hadn't provoked her recently.

But Gu Shijin would not tolerate it now. "I got up and was pestered by the Third and Fourth Princes for a while, so I was late."

Of course I won't have a child as quickly as you do.

"But it's not time to pay respects yet, and the Queen hasn't come yet, so it's not too late for my sister."

Just as Concubine Lan was about to lose her temper, the Queen came out.

"Your humble concubine/your humble concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Everyone, get up."

Well, the queen has a rosy complexion today, she is worthy of being favored by the emperor.
