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

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Lu Junze began to attend court, and everyone in the harem was looking forward to this day.

Because all the concubines had to go to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen this morning, everyone was looking forward to it. They wanted to see what Feng Zhaoyi, who was conferred the title by the Emperor, looked like as soon as possible. It was a relief that the Emperor made an exception and conferred the title of Zhaoyi on her the first time he saw her. You know, there had never been such an exception in the palace before.

Gu Shijin was no exception. She got up very early today and went to Fengyi Palace early, looking like she cared a lot about Feng Zhaoyi.

This reaction was decided after Gu Shijin and Lu Junze discussed it. Since they were going to act as if the emperor favored Feng Zhaoyi, then Gu Shijin, the former favorite concubine, would naturally be jealous and unhappy. Such a reaction was normal for Gu Shijin.

"Your Majesty, it's done." Xingzhu said after finishing Gu Shijin's makeup.

Gu Shijin was dressed very elegantly today. The clothes and jewellery she wore were very much in line with her status as a royal concubine. The five-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head was a gift from Lu Junze to her some time ago.

"Your Majesty, this outfit is so beautiful." Xingzhu couldn't help but say.

Gu Shijin might not be the most beautiful in the harem, but she has a very elegant look. When she is dressed like this, one can't help but want to kneel down.

"You have good skills." Gu Shijin said with a smile.

"Thanks for the compliment, Her Majesty." Xing Zhu actually didn't quite understand why Gu Shijin dressed like this today. In the past, Her Majesty was always very low-key.

But as a servant, she didn't need to think so much. She just had to do whatever the empress told her to do.

"Let's go." Gu Shijin stood up and said.

Gu Shijin was wearing heavy clothes today, and she didn't want to walk to Fengyi Palace, so she just sat in the sedan chair.

In the past, in order to exercise, Gu Shijin would walk slowly to Fengyi Palace most of the time.

"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine Chen."

When Gu Shijin arrived at Fengyi Palace, there were very few people in the main hall, only a few nobles had arrived. When they saw Gu Shijin, they were surprised for a moment, and then quickly stood up and saluted.

Gu Shijin sat down at his seat without looking away, then glanced at the others, nodded and said calmly: "Everyone, get up."

A few noble people looked at each other quietly, and the same emotion flashed in our eyes.

Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen has come here with bad intentions today.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Chen."

Then several people sat down in their seats and didn't dare to talk anymore.

Probably to watch the show, not only Gu Shijin arrived early today, but other concubines also arrived early. Everyone had almost the same reaction when they saw Gu Shijin.

First he was shocked, then he bowed, and finally he sat down with an expectant look on his face.

Most people were good at hiding the look of watching a show on their faces, but those with a certain status could not hide it at all, especially Concubine Lan. When she saw Gu Shijin, her eyes lit up and she couldn't hide her expression of wanting to watch a show.

"Royal Concubine." Lan Fei sat down behind Fu Fu and looked at Gu Shijin and said, "Why did the Royal Concubine arrive so early today?"

Gu Shijin was not angry. She had already figured out Lan Fei's personality. Although she acted a little arrogantly, she did not have any bad intentions.

"Why did Concubine Lan come to the palace so early? Why did Concubine Lan come to the palace so early?" Gu Shijin said with a smile.

Concubine Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, then she swept her eyes around the main hall and said meaningfully, "Our new Concubine Zhaoyi is really amazing. She hasn't come yet."

Rong Fei took over Lan Fei's words and said, "Sister Lan Fei, did you know it only today? I thought you should have understood it long ago."

"That's right." Concubine Lan nodded. Since Concubine Feng hadn't come to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen for the past two days, she should have known that Concubine Feng was a powerful character.

"Feng Zhaoyi is in the emperor's favor right now, and she may have forgotten that there are still a queen and several concubines in the palace." Zhou Xiuyi said.

Zhou Xiuyi was also unhappy. With another Zhaoyi pressing down on her, it would be strange for her to be happy.

Concubine Lan smiled and said, "Xiuyi Zhou, please be careful with your words. Be careful not to be heard by Concubine Feng."

Lan Fei said this, but everyone could hear that there was more of a teasing tone in her words.

"Thank you, Empress Lan, for your reminder. I will pay attention to it." Zhou Xiuyi nodded.

Gu Shijin looked at Zhou Xiuyi in surprise. This man became smarter after being named Xiuyi.

But think about it, if Zhou Xiuyi was really that stupid, she wouldn't have been able to live peacefully in the palace for so many years and still be alive and in the queen's team.

"By the way, have any sisters seen what Feng Zhaoyi looks like?" Concubine Rong looked at the concubines in the room and said.

Many concubines looked at each other and shook their heads. In the past two days, Feng Zhaoyi had not left Yonghe Palace. It was the emperor who went to Yonghe Palace to find her, so naturally no one had seen her.

"It's quite mysterious." Lan Fei said contemptuously.

"You'll be able to see it in a while, so don't worry, sisters." Gu Shijin suddenly said.

"That's what the Imperial Concubine said."

As long as Feng Zhaoyi wasn't really stupid, there was no way she wouldn't come today.

Feng Zhaoyi's previous behavior had already violated palace rules, but the empress did not get angry because the emperor doted on her.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Just as Concubine Lan finished her words, a person in blue palace dress walked in from outside. She walked lightly, had a pretty face, and a pair of beautiful almond eyes that were bright and lively.

And because of the makeup, she looks quite weak.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Concubine Chen." Feng Zhaoyi walked up to Gu Shijin and knelt down.

Although Feng Zhaoyi was a Zhaoyi and the head of a palace, her status was far lower than that of a noble concubine. She could only kneel down and salute respectfully.

The main hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Gu Shijin. Gu Shijin was speechless. Could this group of people hide their gazes of watching the show?

Gu Shijin kept the character in mind. She looked Feng Zhaoyi up and down and said, "Feng Zhaoyi really has a good appearance."

Concubine Lan beside her cooperated and nodded, saying, "Your Highness is right. Concubine Feng's appearance is unmatched in the harem."

A hint of pride flashed in Feng Zhaoyi's eyes when she heard this, which did not escape the eyes of Gu Shijin and Concubine Lan.

"Your Highness the Imperial Concubine and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine Lan are too kind to praise me. I am a humble and insignificant person and I do not deserve your praise."

"Feng Zhaoyi, don't be so modest. If you are just a weakling, there will be no beauties in the harem." Concubine Lan said with a smile.

Gu Shijin didn't ask Feng Zhaoyi to stand up, so she just knelt there. She was spoiled when she was growing up, and she couldn't kneel any longer after kneeling for so long. Naturally, Gu Shijin noticed it.

"Feng Zhaoyi is frail, please get up." Gu Shijin glanced at her and said lightly.

"Thank you, noble concubine."

Afterwards, Feng Zhaoyi bowed to Concubine Xian, Concubine Rong and Concubine Lan, but the three of them did not make things difficult for her.

After completing the ceremony, Feng Zhaoyi sat down in her seat. She was very cautious throughout the whole process, which made Gu Shijin look at her twice more.
