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

During this period, Feng Zhaoyi lived a very comfortable life in the harem. Although Lu Junze did not come as frequently as when she first entered the palace, she always spent more time in Yonghe Palace than in other palaces, except for Chenhua Palace of course.

Before, Feng Zhaoyi was a little unhappy because she was so beautiful but couldn't compare to Concubine Chen. Now, when she heard that Concubine Chen was pregnant, she felt much better. The Emperor must have gone to Chenhua Palace because Concubine Chen was pregnant.

"Your Majesty, shall I prepare gifts?" The imperial concubine was pregnant, so they had to send gifts to Yonghe Palace as well.

"Go ahead." Feng Zhaoyi paused for a moment and warned, "Don't send food or spices."

She is not ready to confront the Imperial Concubine now, so she has to avoid any accidents.

Feng Zhaoyi is not jealous of Gu Shijin's pregnancy now, because she feels that she is so favored that pregnancy is a matter of time, and there is no need to be jealous of Gu Shijin.

I have to say, once people become confident, they can be quite scary.

"Yes, ma'am."

The ones in the harem who reacted the least to Gu Shijin's pregnancy were Concubine Lan and Concubine Rong. The two of them now have similar ideas and just want to live a peaceful life in the harem and watch the show.

Concubine Lan now has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and the subordinates dare not ignore her. She has everything she wants. Anyway, there is no hope for her to gain the favor of the Emperor, so she might as well live her own salted fish life.

Although Concubine Rong did not have the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she had the eldest prince. The eldest prince was the eldest son and the emperor liked him very much, so no one dared to offend Concubine Rong, so Concubine Rong lived a relatively comfortable life.

Originally, the two of them planned to ask their confidants to deliver some gifts to Concubine Chen, and there was no need to make a trip. However, when they heard that the Queen and Concubine Feng had gone to Chenhua Palace, they changed their minds and asked people to prepare the gifts and they would deliver them personally.

Anyway, they are concubines, and Gu Shijin is a noble concubine, so if they go in person, it won't be considered as an embarrassment to them. And didn't the queen go in person?

The Chenhua Palace is very lively today. The first wave of people to come to the Chenhua Palace were not the Queen and Feng Zhaoyi and others, but Concubine Wang and Concubine Yang.

These two people must have come with gifts as soon as they received the news.

"Your concubine pays her respects to Her Majesty Concubine Chen. Congratulations." The two bowed and congratulated as soon as they came in.

Gu Shijin had to give them face, "No need to be polite."

Gu Shijin knew that many people would come when the news of her pregnancy was released, so she had already made preparations. Therefore, she was not surprised even though Concubine Yang and Concubine Wang were the first to come.

These two people have been in the harem for a long time, even longer than Gu Shijin. Concubine Wang had been in Lu Junze's backyard when Lu Junze was still a prince.

It’s just that she is not liked by Lu Junze, and she is quite low-key. After so many years, she is still a noble person.

"Your Highness, I don't have anything good to offer you. I hope you won't dislike it." Yang Pin said. Her maid came up with a tray. On it was a fertility-giving Guanyin statue. It looked pretty good, but the details were not very clear.

"Yang Fei is very thoughtful." Others came to give her gifts. No matter how valuable the gifts were, the thought was there. As long as there was no problem with the gifts, Gu Shijin would not bother to pay attention to her.

Then Concubine Wang also gave her a gift. The thing she took out was quite valuable. Even Gu Shijin was surprised for a moment when he saw it. This didn't seem like something a noble would give out.

"Your Highness, this was given to me by my mother before I entered the palace. I think it is very suitable for you." Perhaps seeing the confusion in Gu Shijin's eyes, Concubine Wang explained.

Gu Shijin smiled and said, "Since it was given by Noble Lady Wang's mother, it must have a different meaning. I have received Noble Lady Wang's kindness, so there is no need for a gift. Noble Lady Wang, please take it back."

The gift from Concubine Wang was a ruby, about the size of a three-year-old child’s fist. The color was very good and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.

"Your Highness, this is something I specially sent to you. Please accept it." Concubine Wang looked at Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin was confused by Concubine Wang's attitude.

"And only the Imperial Concubine can wear such a gem." Concubine Wang said with a smile.

"My Lady, since this is a gift from the princess, please accept it."

Gu Shijin wanted to refuse, but then a eunuch's voice came from outside the door, announcing that the queen was coming.

There was no choice but for Gu Shijin to accept the things temporarily.

The queen did not come alone. She met Feng Zhaoyi on the way, so she came with Feng Zhaoyi, Zhou Xiuyi, and several concubines of lower status.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Gu Shijin said to the three of them.

"Your humble servant/your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Please get up quickly, Concubine. You are pregnant now, so you need to be more careful." The Queen gave Gu Shijin a light support.

Gu Shijin had just squatted for a while, and she stood up as soon as the queen said so.

"Thank you, Queen." Then she looked at the people who saluted her and said, "Everyone, stand up."

"Thank you, noble concubine."

The queen arrived, so the main seat was naturally given to her, and Gu Shijin sat in the first seat below.

"Noble Concubine Chen, you have worked hard during your pregnancy. These are rewards for you." The queen waved her hand, and a group of palace servants came in carrying a bunch of rewards.

"Thank you, Queen."

The queen is the main wife, so everything she gives them is a reward.

The queen was very generous and gave good things, but they were all cloth, jewelry and the like, not spices.

Next was Feng Zhaoyi. The gift she gave was similar to that given by the Queen, but the quality was slightly worse.

Gu Shijin was a little surprised. It was impossible for the Queen and Feng Zhaoyi to prepare gifts together, but Feng Zhaoyi was able to control things so well. She must have some skills. You know, Feng Zhaoyi had only entered the palace not long ago and only knew about the Queen recently.

Not only Gu Shijin noticed this, but the Queen also noticed it. Her eyes flickered and her face looked a little bad. No matter who meets someone who knows him or her very well, they will feel uncomfortable and scared.

Especially the women in the palace.

"Feng Zhaoyi is thoughtful." Gu Shijin looked at Feng Zhaoyi and said.

Feng Zhaoyi smiled and chatted with Gu Shijin for a few more words. She was smiling the whole time and didn't look unhappy at all.

Everyone else was stunned. Concubine Chen was pregnant, but Zhaoyi Feng was still so calm.

The gifts from others were more conventional. They were just whatever they could afford. Gu Shijin accepted all the gifts and asked Xingzhu to accept them and put them in the warehouse.

"Empress Lan is here, Empress Rong is here."

Hearing these two reports, Gu Shijin rolled his eyes inwardly. Okay, now everyone is gathered together, except for a virtuous concubine.

However, the gift from Concubine Xian has already been delivered, so I guess she won’t come to Chenhua Palace again.

When Concubine Lan and Concubine Rong walked in and saw so many people gathered, they were not surprised at all. It was obvious that they knew about this.
