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

When Gu Shijin woke up in the morning he heard that the Emperor had appointed a new Zhaoyi, it was impossible for him not to feel uncomfortable.

But Gu Shijin knew that Lu Junze was the emperor and would never stay for her, so she often warned herself not to indulge in the emperor's gentleness. As the saying goes, the emperor has three thousand concubines in the harem, and Lu Junze has only twenty or so concubines, which is very rare among the emperors.

"Empress, please have some more." Xingzhu felt worried when she saw that Gu Shijin hadn't finished his bowl of porridge.

The same goes for Miss Xingyue. She has been in the palace for so long, but she is still so careless in doing things.

"I don't have much appetite." Gu Shijin put down the bowl and said.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Children are the most sensitive to adults' emotions. The Fourth Prince ran to Gu Shijin, hugged his legs and asked.

Gu Shijin rubbed the fourth prince's head and said with a smile: "Ayuan still knows how to be unhappy."

"Hmph. Mother looks down on people, but A Yuan is very smart." The Fourth Prince looked up at Shi Jin, his little expression making people happy.

"Mother, this is delicious. Please try it." The third prince picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Gu Shijin's empty bowl.

The Third Prince's emotions were not as outward as the Fourth Prince's, but he had his own way of expressing his concern for his mother.

Gu Shijin smiled. These two children were really her little cotton-padded jackets. "Okay, mother, have a try."

"Yeah, it's really delicious." Gu Shijin took a bite and then fed the Fourth Prince, "Come and eat."

As the third and fourth princes grew older, Gu Shijin no longer restricted their diet so much and they could eat a lot of things.

However, Gu Shijin always told the two children that they must eat food from Chenhua Palace, given by their mother or the nanny around them, and they were not allowed to eat food given by anyone else, not even by their older sisters and brothers.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the second princess.

The second princess had been with Concubine De before, and although she was unaware of what she had done to help Concubine De, she had indeed harmed people. After Concubine De died, Lu Junze was afraid that such a thing would happen again, so he did not have anyone to raise the second princess, but directly placed her in Xiefang Palace and sent two more maids to look after her.

"My mother is eating too. I can eat by myself now." The Fourth Prince didn't want Shi Jin to feed him. He picked up the bowl and started eating.

"Okay." After the two children's noise, Gu Shijin felt much better and had some appetite. In the end, he finished the bowl of porridge.

"Are you two full?" Gu Shijin wiped the two children's mouths and asked gently.

"We're full, mother." The two children responded in unison.

Perhaps they could see that Gu Shijin was in a bad mood. Today, the two children were particularly well-behaved, especially the fourth prince, who used to have someone holding a bowl and chasing him around when he ate, but today he held his own bowl and ate obediently.

"Okay, then mother will take you out for a walk." Usually after dinner, Gu Shijin would ask the two of them to go out for a walk for a while, but most of the time it was the nanny who took them out. Today, she wanted to take them out for a walk herself.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit cold outside. Please put on a cloak." Xingyue came over and said, holding a cloak.

"Okay." Gu Shijin nodded and put on the cloak.

Even if she was in a bad mood, she would not joke with her body. Her body was her own and the capital of the revolution.

The scenery of Chenhua Palace was actually very good. The snow had not melted yet and it looked beautiful. But today Gu Shijin was not in the mood to stay in Chenhua Palace to enjoy the scenery. He went to the Imperial Garden holding hands with his girlfriend.

The Imperial Garden was for the Emperor and the concubines in the palace to enjoy and appreciate, so even in this season, the Imperial Garden is very beautiful, with flowers in full bloom.

Gu Shijin seldom came to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery in the morning. Today, he found it really nice and the morning had a unique flavor.

"Ajin, Ayuan, do you recognize these words?" Gu Shijin teased. The two children had not yet started their enlightenment, and Gu Shijin knew that they did not recognize them, so he was just teasing them on purpose.

Sure enough, the Fourth Prince looked at this, then looked at that, and shook his head in confusion.

The Third Prince nodded cautiously, pointing at the flowers and saying, "Mother, I know these flowers."

"This is a tulip, this is a camellia, this is a Clivia, this is a primrose, this is a rhododendron, this is a freesia..."

Finally, the third prince pointed to a tree and said, "This is wintersweet."

Gu Shijin was shocked. What the Third Prince said was completely right. He had never taught him these things at the beginning. Now Gu Shijin only taught the two of them to recognize words occasionally.

It’s not easy to recognize so many flowers.

"Ajin, how do you know these flowers?" Gu Shijin asked in surprise.

"Mother, I read it in a book." said the third prince.

Gu Shijin thought about it. She did often see the Third Prince reading books, but she thought he was just reading aimlessly and never took it to heart. Now it seems that the Third Prince was not just reading aimlessly, he was clearly studying.

"Ajin, can you understand the words in the book?" Gu Shijin asked.

The Third Prince shook his head at first, then nodded and said, "Ask Nanny if you don't understand."

Gu Shijin has always attached great importance to children's education, so the two maids who take care of the children are also literate, which makes it convenient for the third prince to study.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shijin squatted in front of the third prince and said, "Ajin, do you want to study?"

Gu Shijin had not originally intended to send his two children to school so early. He wanted them to have a one or two year carefree childhood, because as princes, they would go to the Shangshufang in two years and shoulder their responsibilities.

But now the situation has changed. Ajin is willing to study, and Gu Shijin can't delay him.

The third prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Yes."

She didn’t know if it was Gu Shijin’s illusion, but she felt that A Yuan seemed to glare at A Jin.

A Yuan is a playful kid, so it would be difficult to ask him to sit and study every day.

"Okay, mother will tell your father." Gu Shijin rubbed the third prince's head and said.

Since the child is willing, she will definitely try her best to satisfy it.

After all this commotion, the gloom in Gu Shijin's heart completely disappeared, but this happiness did not last long before it was interrupted.

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Imperial Concubine Chen." Upon hearing the voice, Gu Shijin turned around and saw that it was Concubine Wen, Concubine Yao, and Concubine Shu.

Gu Shijin nodded and raised his hand, saying, "No need to be polite."

Gu Shijin had no feelings towards these three people because they had never done anything to her, so no matter how many thoughts they had, Gu Shijin could ignore them.

But today...are these three people targeting me?

"Is the Imperial Concubine bringing the two princes out to play?" Wenpin asked.

Gu Shijin: “…”Are you blind?

"Yes, it's rare that the weather is so good today."

"Yes, today is really a good day." said Concubine Yao.

"Indeed, the Emperor has another concubine, how can this not be considered a good day?"
