Gu Shijin's pregnancy was not told to anyone except her personal maid Xing Zhu Xingyue and the young eunuch Xiao Linzi.

At first, Gu Shijin didn't even want to tell them, thinking it was unnecessary, but Lu Junze told her that she was not feeling well and needed to take medicine for a while. They would know about this sooner or later, so it would be better to tell them first so that they could be mentally prepared.

Gu Shijin thought about it and it was indeed true, but he also warned them not to let the secret out.

Gu Shijin was already hated in the palace. If people knew that she was pregnant again, who knows what kind of trouble would arise. Let's wait until it can no longer be concealed. By then, the pregnancy will surely be stable.

"Your Majesty, I asked the kitchen to cook some preserved egg and lean meat porridge this morning. Would you like to drink some?" Xing Zhu asked as she sorted Gu Shijin's clothes.

Gu Shijin also taught Xiaoxiao how to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which tasted very good. However, she got tired of it a while ago, so she hadn't asked Xiaoxiao to make it for a long time. After Xingzhu said that, she really wanted to drink it.

"Okay, drink some later."

"Xiao Linzi, send a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge to the emperor, and a serving of that cold-mixed pickled bamboo shoots." Gu Shijin suddenly remembered that Lu Junze really liked to eat these two things, but Chenhua Palace hadn't made them recently, and Lu Junze didn't want to trouble him, so he didn't eat them.

"Yes, ma'am."

Just as Xiao Linzi was about to leave to take care of this matter, Gu Shijin stopped him again and said, "Forget it, I'll go and send it off myself later."

Anyway, she needs to go out for a walk more often. Today's weather is not too hot, so it's suitable for a walk.

"Go and see what the two little princes are doing, ask the nanny to dress them, and then come with me to Chengqian Palace." Gu Shijin said.

As the two children grow older, Gu Shijin no longer restricts them. They can go out and play when they need to, but he asks the maids to be more careful.

"Yes, ma'am."

Since he was going to find Lu Junze, Gu Shijin was not in a hurry to eat. He asked Xiao Linzi to prepare two bowls of food in a lunch box and prepared to go over to eat together.

Although the weather was not very warm, it still took a while to walk from Chenhua Palace to Chengqian Palace. Gu Shijin didn't want to walk, so he asked someone to carry the sedan chair.

Sitting high and seeing far, Gu Shijin saw from a distance a woman in blue clothes in the middle of the road, looking at something.

Gu Shijin walked closer and saw that it was Concubine Wang.

"I greet Her Majesty, Princess Jin. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

"Get up."

Gu Shijin was not familiar with this person and did not want to pay too much attention to her. He was about to leave when he was stopped again.

"Empress Jin."

"What's wrong?" Gu Shijin looked down at her. Most people would definitely feel uncomfortable, but Gu Shijin looked at Concubine Wang without any abnormality.

Concubine Wang said, "Your Majesty, I just passed by here and heard a scream, so I asked my personal maid to go see what happened. But my maid has been gone for almost half an hour and has not returned yet."

Gu Shijin frowned, this matter didn't sound simple.

If it were in the past, Gu Shijin could have just ignored it as it had nothing to do with her anyway. But now, Gu Shijin has the obligation to assist in managing the six palaces, and Concubine Wang has already found her. If she ignores Concubine Wang and reports it to the Queen, her right to assist in managing the six palaces will most likely be taken away.

Although Gu Shijin is not obsessed with power, she is still unwilling to give back what she has obtained because of such things.

Gu Shijin: "Get off the sedan."

Xingzhu looked at Gu Shijin with some worry. The queen is pregnant now. What if something unexpected happens...what will happen?

Gu Shijin glanced at Xingzhu soothingly and said, "Xingyue, go to Chengqian Palace to report to the emperor and tell him that I encountered something on the way and will be delayed for a while."

Gu Shijin had been paying attention to Concubine Wang while she said this. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Wang's face froze.

"Xiao Linzi, take a few people over there to see what's going on." Gu Shijin ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Shijin: "Please wait a moment, Noble Lady Wang. Maybe Xiao Linzi will come back with your personal maid in a while."

"Yes, thank you, Empress Jinfei."

Gu Shijin and Wang Guiren parked in the middle of the road without any cover, and soon attracted a lot of attention. Palace maids, eunuchs, or people of low status generally did not dare to approach them, but there are always exceptions. Some people like to join in the fun and are particularly bold.

"Your concubine pays her respects to Concubine Jin." The Yuan sisters came over and said.

Gu Shijin raised his hand: "Get up, why are Yao Wanyi and Shu Wanyi here?"

Something went wrong at the birthday party of the Yuan sisters. The emperor found out that the person behind the incident was an unknown person. The Yuan sisters were frightened for no reason. In order to appease them, Lu Junze promoted them to Wanyi.

"My two concubines were passing by here and saw Concubine Jin here, so we wanted to come over and ask if she needed any help." Yao Wanyi said.

Gu Shijin then took a serious look at the two of them. It might be because Lu Junze had been going to Yinyueju frequently recently, and the two of them had been promoted in status. Yanran had become the most favored person in the harem besides Gu Shijin. The temperament of the two of them seemed to have changed a lot, and they seemed to have the confidence of favored concubines.

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "My two sisters, please wait here for a while. I am fine, but Concubine Wang is in trouble."

"Noble Lady Wang said that she just passed by here and heard someone screaming, so she asked her personal maid to check, but the maid never came back." Gu Shijin explained.

"Is Sister Wang okay?" Yao Wanyi said in an exaggerated manner.

Concubine Wang bowed and said, "Thank you, Yao Wanyi, for your concern. Fortunately, I met Concubine Jin. My sister is fine."

"Then let us two sisters stay here to accompany Concubine Jin. If there are any problems, it will be easier to solve them with more people." Shu Wanyi said at this time.

Gu Shijin did not refuse, but rolled her eyes in her heart. If there really was a problem, what help could a woman like you provide here? Just be thankful that you don't cause trouble.

With four people standing here, the team suddenly became huge, and they were silent, which looked weird.

"Are these the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince?" Yao Wanyi suddenly asked, looking at the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince in the arms of the nanny.

When Gu Shijin heard this, a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes. These two children were her Achilles' heel and no one could touch them.

"A Yuan, come here to your mother." Gu Shijin did not answer Yao Wanyi's words, but waved at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was not a quiet person to begin with, and he had wanted to go downstairs to play for a long time, but he had to hold back because his mother didn't let him. When he heard Gu Shijin's words, he immediately ran over.

Gu Shijin smiled when she saw this. The anger in her heart dissipated a lot when she saw how cute the child was.
