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

"Your Majesty, let me change your clothes for you." After returning from the Qianqiu Banquet, Shangguan Yan looked at Lu Junze who looked a little drunk and said.

Lu Junze was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay."

Shangguan Yan was delighted. She knew that the emperor was a little drunk. She thought that maybe tonight...

Although the emperor came to Fengyi Palace quite a lot in the past few months, he never did those things with the queen, and the queen gradually began to feel dissatisfied.

So, people are greedy.

At first Shangguan Yan just wanted the emperor to come to her palace, but now she wants Lu Junze's favor too.

After helping Lu Junze change his clothes, Shangguan Yan picked up the hangover soup that Yunzhi brought in and said, "Your Majesty, this is the hangover soup that I had someone prepare. Your Majesty, please have some."

Lu Junze did drink a lot tonight, and he felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. Hearing Shangguan Yan's words, he did not refuse and drank the hangover soup. Seeing Lu Junze's actions, Shangguan Yan's smile deepened.

She felt that the current emperor had returned to the old days, when although their feelings for each other were particularly deep, the emperor still showed due respect to her as the queen.

Once a person starts to be narcissistic, it is easy for him to lose sight of himself when doing things. Not long after the two of them lay in bed, Shangguan Yan saw that Lu Junze did not move, his eyes flashed, and then he climbed onto Lu Junze's shoulder with one hand and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

Shangguan Yan is different from ordinary queens. Many queens are self-respecting and dignified and will not take the initiative in sex, but Shangguan Yan will not do that.

This kind of thing requires cooperation from two people, and she will not be reserved about it.

When Lu Junze came to Fengyi Palace before, Shangguan Yan did nothing because he didn't know what Lu Junze was thinking. But today, Lu Junze's attitude made the queen more confident. And Lu Junze was drunk now, and he was not sober.

But as soon as Shangguan Yan put her hand on Lu Junze's shoulder, she was grabbed by Lu Junze.

Lu Junze turned his head and looked at his queen. There was no sign of drunkenness in her eyes. He said, "Queen, it's getting late. I have to go to court tomorrow. Go to bed early."

Shangguan Yan felt a chill all over her body when she was looked at by Lu Junze. Then, as if she understood something, she closed her eyes and smiled sarcastically.

The emperor had never thought of restoring his relationship with her, but she, the queen, could not afford to get into trouble right now.

After all, Shangguan Yan is the queen who has been in charge of the harem for several years, and has been with Lu Junze for almost ten years. If you were to say who knows Lu Junze best in the palace, it would probably be Shangguan Yan.

Although Gu Shijin has often been with Lu Junze in the past two years, he doesn't really know Gu Shijin that well.

There is a saying that goes, your enemies know you best.

Lu Junze and Shangguan Yan had a very good understanding and didn't say much about this matter. Everything was the same as before. The emperor came to Fengyi Palace from time to time as usual and occasionally rested for a night in Fengyi Palace. However, Shangguan Yan never did anything out of line again.

Lu Junze was very satisfied with Shangguan Yan's tact.

Lu Junze is now cleaning up the previous dynasty and wants to clean up Yunfeng Kingdom and King Xian as soon as possible. Naturally, he has no time to take care of the harem, so his harem cannot be in chaos.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion has some connections with the Virtuous Prince, there has been less contact between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Virtuous Prince's Mansion since Shangguan Yan regained the emperor's favor.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. If a virtuous king ascends the throne in the future, Shangguan Yan will definitely not be the queen. The prime minister will know which is more important.

Moreover, Lu Junze knew that although the prime minister was old, he was actually very ambitious. What he wanted was not to be a powerful official under any emperor, but to sit in the supreme position.

Therefore, as long as the prime minister is not pushed too far, the prime minister's office will not make any major moves. The prime minister would rather see the emperor and the virtuous king both lose, so that he can come out and reap the benefits.

As for the charge of plotting to usurp the throne, the prime minister didn't care at all.

Are there not many emperors in history who have attempted to usurp the throne? Even the Lu family's throne was obtained by overthrowing the previous dynasty.

Anyway, history books are written by the victors, and as long as he ascends the throne, he can write whatever he wants.

I have to say that ambitious people are indeed not conservative.

……

The third prince and the fourth prince are already ten months old. Gu Shijin’s favorite thing to do recently is to teach the two children to walk and talk.

The fourth prince is a troublemaker. As soon as he is taught, he starts to make noise and crawl all over the room.

If you want to crawl on the ground, you naturally have to take protective measures. Gu Shijin asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make an extra-large carpet and spread it in Gu Shijin's inner room.

When he had nothing to do, Gu Shijin would carry the third and fourth princes into the house and let them crawl. The third prince was calm and sensible. After Gu Shijin explained it to him, he slowly learned by himself. Now he can crawl very steadily and can even stand up by holding on to something. He is very smart.

As for the Fourth Prince, he was a naughty boy. If he didn't crawl properly, he would make trouble. So Gu Shijin put a lot of toys on the carpet, and whenever the Fourth Prince wanted a toy, he had to crawl to get it.

Fortunately, it is winter now, so I don’t have to worry about sweating too much when exercising.

Oh, speaking of this, Gu Shijin couldn't help but mention the matter that was brought up by the carpet that was now pressed under by the two little brats.

Carpets are not easy to make, and Gu Shijin wants a big one. If fox fur is used, it would be too luxurious, so Gu Shijin asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use tiger skin instead.

But even so, it was still a lot, so during that period the government was looking for tiger skins every day.

I don't know how this matter spread, but it reached the ears of the Queen.

Although simplicity is not popular in Daxia, concubines in the harem cannot be too extravagant, otherwise it will have some impact if it gets out.

"Princess Jin, I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs collected tiger skins to make carpets for you," asked the Queen.

If there were only three or two or even ten people, the queen would not call Gu Shijin over to ask, but if there were forty or fifty, she, as the queen, would have to intervene.

"Your Majesty, yes." As soon as Gu Shijin heard the Queen's question, she knew why Shangguan Yan called her over. She was actually a little speechless.

Because she did not let the Imperial Household Department work for nothing, she also paid for the tiger skin herself.

Shangguan Yan was not angry when she heard Gu Shijin's answer. She smiled and explained some reasons to Gu Shijin. In conclusion, it was too luxurious and not good.

Gu Shijin also smiled and reasoned with Shangguan Yan, "Empress, it's like this, Ajin and Ayuan are learning to walk recently, and I'm afraid they will fall, so I came up with this idea."

She also told the Queen that she had paid for the tiger skin herself and did not use any money from the Imperial Household Department.

Shangguan Yan asked Gu Shijin to come over just for show, and after listening to what Gu Shijin said, he let Gu Shijin go back.

As a result, when Lu Junze heard about this, he waved his hand and gave all the tiger skins in his private vault to Gu Shijin.
