The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!
Chapter 258 The inexplicable appearance of the sachet
"And there are Concubine Yao and Concubine Shu. The emperor asked you two to copy Buddhist scriptures and go out less, but I didn't expect that you two sisters can't stand loneliness." Gu Shijin's eyes were on Concubine Yao and Concubine Shu.
The two of them shuddered, and Concubine Yao gave an awkward smile and said, "I am tired from copying Buddhist scriptures, so I came out for a walk with my sister."
"I hope you all... take care of yourselves." Gu Shijin glanced around and left.
Today, Gu Shijin behaved very strongly, no matter who he was in front of, as if he was stimulated by the appearance of Feng Zhaoyi, and he would confront everyone he saw.
But no one dared to say anything more, because Gu Shijin had a high position now. Apart from the queen and the queen mother, she was the highest-ranking person in the harem, not to mention that Gu Shijin was also favored by the emperor.
Although Lu Junze favored Feng Zhaoyi every night these two days, he would go to Yonghe Palace to visit Gu Shijin every day during the day.
Now the concubines in the harem dare not say that Gu Shijin has fallen out of favor.
"Farewell, Her Majesty." Several people bowed.
After Gu Shijin walked away, Feng Zhaoyi looked up at her back. Why was there such a big difference between the Noble Concubine Chen she met today and the Noble Concubine Chen that the Queen Dowager described?
Feng Zhaoyi didn't think that the Queen Dowager would lie to her. After all, the Queen Dowager still needed her now. Was it possible that Concubine Chen was really provoked by her?
"Empress Zhaoyi, we two concubines will go back first." said Concubine Yao and the other concubine.
Their status in the palace is very low now. If possible, she doesn't want to offend the imperial concubine at this moment. It will be too easy for the imperial concubine to deal with the two of them.
Feng Zhaoyi still had a smile on her face. She nodded and said, "Okay, take care, my two sisters."
"The Imperial Concubine may be in a bad mood today. My two sisters, please don't take the Imperial Concubine's words to heart."
The expressions of Concubine Yao and the other lady remained unchanged, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in their eyes. There were no truly good people in this palace. Concubine Feng treated her and her sisters as fools and wanted to use them as knives.
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Feng. I'll take my leave now." Concubine Shu said.
Afterwards, Concubine Feng and others left one after another, leaving only Concubine Yang kneeling there.
The weather was still a little cold, and the ground was cold and wet. Yang Pin was kneeling very uncomfortably, and a trace of hatred flashed in her lowered eyes.
Why is she the only one being punished to kneel here?
The Queen naturally knew what happened in the Imperial Garden, but she didn't care. This matter had nothing to do with her. Gu Shijin was attracting hatred on his own, and she just watched. After a while, she would send someone to wake up Yangpin.
Moreover, Concubine Yang is also Lu Junze's woman. Shangguan Yan would be happy if one of these concubines could be reduced.
Gu Shijin was completely exhausted after today's performance. Not only was she tired mentally, but she was also physically tired. The clothes and headdresses were too heavy. She couldn't understand why those people wore so many things on their bodies.
Moreover, in order to intimidate others today, Gu Shijin was very dignified the entire time and did not relax at all, which made his body even more tired.
"Xingzhu, take that thing off your head quickly." Gu Shijin said as soon as he arrived at Chenhua Palace.
Xingzhu smiled quietly. She had already noticed that the Empress was very uncomfortable.
"Yes, my lady. I will help you take it off right away." Xingzhu started to work.
Gu Shijin was wearing so many things. Xingzhu had done her makeup in the morning. She only told her to dress in a way that suited her status as a noble concubine, but she didn't expect Xingzhu to stuff so many things on her head.
At this moment, looking at the things that Xingzhu took off his head, there were more than a dozen things in total, which was really scary.
These are all made of pure gold and are very heavy. Gu Shijin looked at his small head in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. The weight that a person can bear is really unimaginable.
"Xingzhu, don't make me wear so many next time." Gu Shijin said.
"Yes, Madam." Xing Zhu was also somewhat helpless. Her Madam was really...
At this moment, Gu Shijin looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly remembered that after her first sleepover, she went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen. On the way back, she was also embarrassed by someone in the Imperial Garden, but she could not remember who had embarrassed her. Unexpectedly, the situation changed and now she started to embarrass others.
However, Gu Shijin did not feel any guilt at all. It was impossible for her to get away with it cleanly in such an environment, and she never thought of herself as a kind person.
It is normal to pay some insignificant price in order to protect the people you care about and to keep yourself alive in peace.
"My queen, do you want to change your clothes?" Xingzhu had already combed her hair again. It was clean and simple, and looked very comfortable. Gu Shijin felt better.
"Change." Gu Shijin nodded. She had no interest in wearing such gorgeous and solemn clothes in Chenhua Palace. Here she didn't need to show it to others, so she just dressed in whatever was comfortable for her.
"Is there anything your Majesty would like to wear?" Xing Zhu would always ask for her opinion in advance when preparing clothes for Gu Shijin.
"Well... there's a purple one with irises, wear that one." She also wore purple when she went to the Queen's Palace today, but it was a darker purple, which looked very calm and elegant. The purple one she was talking about now was lighter in color, which was more suitable for her current age.
In fact, Gu Shijin is only in her twenties now. In her previous life, she was still a young girl, but in this ancient time, she is already a mother. She is also forced to engage in intrigue in the deep palace. Gu Shijin feels annoyed whenever she thinks about it.
Although she was not young in her previous life, her actual age now is young, and no one can accuse her of pretending to be young, so she still likes to wear clothes in youthful colors.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xingzhu knew that dress. Her Majesty liked it very much when the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it to her, but it was not suitable to wear at that time. It is just right at this season.
After changing his clothes, Gu Shijin felt relaxed and was in the mood to care about his two sons.
Ever since the third prince was poisoned again, Gu Shijin now has to see the child twice a day, otherwise he will always feel uneasy.
"Ajin, Ayuan, what are you doing?" Gu Shijin went over and saw the two talking about something. It was normal for Ayuan to talk about something, but it was rather strange for Ajin to talk about something as well.
"Mother!" The third prince stopped talking as soon as he saw Gu Shijin coming in and stood up.
"What is this?" Gu Shijin was very curious about what the Fourth Prince had in his hand.
The Fourth Prince was not afraid. He handed the item in his hand to Gu Shijin and said, "Mother, here it is."
Gu Shijin took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be the sachet of the Third Prince.
"Where did this come from?" Gu Shijin asked. She didn't remember there being sachets in the two children's room.
"Mother, under the bed." The Fourth Prince pointed.
The Fourth Prince was crawling around everywhere today, and she found this sachet from under the bed.
