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

"What's the matter?" Gu Shijin glanced at Xingzhu and asked. She was not asleep to begin with, and she knew it as soon as Xingzhu came in.

Xing Zhu: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and princess are here with the second prince and princess."

"Hmm?" Gu Shijin felt for a moment that she might not have woken up yet. What did she just hear?

Gu Shijin looked up at Xingzhu in surprise and asked, "You said the eldest prince and his men are coming?"

"Yes, ma'am, they are at the door."

Gu Shijin was silent for a while, then said, "Take them to the main hall. I'll be there soon."

Although she didn't know why they came, they were princes and princesses after all, so Gu Shijin couldn't neglect them. And she really couldn't figure out why they came to Chenhua Palace. Gu Shijin was not familiar with them at all, and usually only met them at banquets.

When Gu Shijin arrived at the main hall, four little kids were sitting upright and eating cakes.

Seeing this, Gu Shijin's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything. She walked in and said with a smile: "First Prince, Second Prince, First Princess, Second Princess, why are you here?"

The four little kids stood up and saluted, saying, "Greetings to Lady Jin."

"Get up quickly." Gu Shijin helped them up. Each of them really looked like someone from the royal family.

The eldest princess was the oldest among them and was also the leader. She stepped forward and said, "Madam Jin, my brothers and sisters and I would like to come and see the third and fourth brothers."

The three little kids at the back also nodded and looked at Gu Shijin expectantly.

So that's what she was doing, so she asked them what they were doing here.

Gu Shijin was not against children making friends, and no one was born bad. Although the mothers of these children were in a different camp from his own, Gu Shijin could see from their eyes that these children did not have any bad intentions, they just really wanted to come and see their younger brother.

"Then wait a moment." Gu Shijin waved at Xingzhu and said, "Go and bring Ajin and Ayuan over."

"Yes, ma'am."

The fourth prince was a playful boy. When he heard that someone came to play with him, he came over happily, waving his hands non-stop.

The third prince was a little unhappy. He was playing with building blocks, and at the critical moment, Aunt Xingzhu came over and took him away with a very sour face. But since his younger brother wanted to come, he followed him.

As soon as Gu Shijin saw Ajin's expression, he knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but smile.

"Ajin, Ayuan, come here." Gu Shijin waved at the two little guys.

"Mother." The two little guys walked to Gu Shijin's side. The Third Prince was fine, no changes could be seen, but the Fourth Prince indeed put his eyes on the other four people.

Before, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were very young and couldn’t even walk or talk, so Gu Shijin would definitely not let them out to play, so the two little guys only met the other princes and princesses once but had never gone out to play together.

Now that the eldest princess has brought them here, Gu Shijin thinks he can let them go out and play together.

As for children, it is better to play with children.

"Ajin, Ayuan, these are your brothers and sisters. They are here to play with you. Do you want to go?" Gu Shijin leaned over and spoke softly.

There was no change on the Third Prince's face, and he was not interested in hearing this. But the Fourth Prince was very happy. He started shouting when he heard that he could go out and play.

"Go out and play, go out and play." The fourth prince pulled his brother's sleeve, "Brother, go out and play."

The Third Prince then looked down at his younger brother and said very coldly, "Okay."

Gu Shijin nodded and waved at Xiao Linzi, "Go and watch over it. Just play in the room next door and don't go out."

It’s okay to play, but you must never leave the sight of your own people. These people are all princes and princesses. If anything happens to them, Gu Shijin cannot take the responsibility.

However, thinking of the secret guards given by the emperor by his side, Gu Shijin felt relieved again.

"Yes, don't worry, ma'am."

After they all left, Gu Shijin looked at Xingzhu, pointed at the cakes on the table below and asked, "Who brought these cakes?"

There was nothing wrong with the pastries themselves, but Gu Shijin did not give this order, so it could be said that the people in her palace acted on their own initiative.

If it were anyone else it would be fine, but these are princes and princesses, how can I give them food without permission? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong in Chenhua Palace?

These princes and princesses are okay, they have good character. If they met those with bad morals, who put poison in the pastries themselves and then turned around and said it was Gu Shijin who did it, then they really wouldn't be able to explain themselves even if they had a hundred mouths.

Don't think that it's impossible for a child to do such a thing just because he is young. Children of the royal family cannot be treated according to their normal age.

Xingzhu had already noticed something was wrong and had just checked. She said, "Madam, it's Ruibai."

Rui Bai is a second-class maidservant beside Gu Shijin. She doesn't have as much power as Xingzhu and Xingyue, but she can still make decisions on general matters. For example, it is completely possible for her to instruct the small kitchen to prepare a few plates of pastries.

Gu Shijin nodded secretly. Rui Bai was a palace maid she had rescued. Gu Shijin also asked Xiao Linzi to check her background carefully and only let her by his side after finding no problems.

Now it seems that maybe I didn't investigate it very clearly.

In Gu Shijin's heart, Rui Bai has always been a very calm person. It is impossible for her not to think of such a small thing. The only thing she could say is that she did it on purpose.

on purpose……

"Come here." Gu Shijin waved his hand, "Go and quietly ask Concubine Ning to come over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Shijin actually wanted to ask Doctor Song to come over, but now everyone knew that several princes and princesses came to her place, and if she suddenly asked the doctor to come over, it would make people think too much.

Gu Shijin just remembered that Concubine Ning said her poison skills were the best, so he could ask her to come and take a look.

Hearing that it was Gu Shijin who wanted help, Concubine Jin came quickly.

"Sister, what's wrong?" It can be seen that she came here in a hurry and was still gasping for breath.

Gu Shijin: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Sit down and have some tea first."

Ning Jieyu saw Gu Shijin like this and knew that the matter was not urgent, so she sat down and said, "Okay."

The tea here is the top-grade Longjing tea, which is rare in the palace. Concubine Ning loves to drink tea. "It's good tea."

"Yuer likes to dress you up a little later."

This was a reward from Lu Junze to Gu Shijin, and it was quite a lot.

"I asked Yue'er to come here because I want your help with something..." Gu Shijin gave a brief account of the matter, and Concubine Ning agreed without hesitation.

It is very simple to take the pulse of a child, all you have to do is play a game with them. Concubine Ning took the pulse of the eldest princess and several others one by one, even the third and fourth princes were not spared, and finally it was proved that there was no problem.

"Find someone to watch Ruibai."
