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

On February 15th, a huge team set out from the imperial palace and headed towards Jinzhou, which is adjacent to the capital.

This southern tour requires taking a boat, and the largest port of the Great Xia Dynasty is in Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is very close to the capital, and can be reached in two hours by carriage. However, when the emperor travels, not only is there a large crowd and a long queue, but the journey is also slow. Therefore, even if he sets out from the palace very early, it is already past the hour of You when he arrives at Jinzhou Port.

"Empress, we're almost there." Xingzhu said with some heartache as she looked at Gu Shijin whose face was pale.

The journey was very bumpy. My queen must have had a hard time riding in the car.

Gu Shijin was also speechless now. She had ridden in a carriage before, but it was close and the roads in the capital were well built, so she didn't feel anything.

Now they had walked a long way, out of the capital, and the road was extremely bumpy. She had been sitting there for the past few hours and felt uncomfortable all over her body.

"Wait until Your Majesty rests and I will give you a good massage." Xingyue said.

They felt really distressed to see the young lady running around so fast while pregnant.

Gu Shijin looked at their concerned expressions and smiled, "It's okay, just take a rest."

She was not really tired, it was mainly because the ride was too bumpy, which made it difficult for people who were used to riding in cars, high-speed trains and airplanes to adapt.

"Empress, we're here." At this time, Xiao Linzi's voice was heard outside the car.

Finally we've arrived. If we continue sitting like this, Gu Shijin will want to go back to the palace.

It is already very late today and it is impossible to set off on board immediately, so we arranged to stay overnight at Jinzhou Port.

As a noble concubine, Gu Shijin's accommodation was naturally arranged long ago. However, as a port, Jinzhou Port was mostly frequented by businessmen and working people, so the inn would not be particularly luxurious.

But the place where Gu Shijin stayed was quite good. The room was big and tidy, and it was obvious that it was carefully arranged.

Gu Shijin was worried about the two princes, so he let them live with him. It was only one night after all.

"Mother, can we go out and play?" The Fourth Prince asked while hugging Gu Shijin's thigh.

The port of Jinzhou was very busy. Even at this hour, people were coming and going, and there were constant sounds of hawking on the streets. It was the first time that the Fourth Prince saw this kind of scene, and he became excited again and wanted to go out and play very much.

The street where they lived was very quiet and had been taken over by the Imperial Guards. The Fourth Prince was referring to the street next to the inn that could be seen from the window.

"No, you can't go out." Gu Shijin patted the Fourth Prince's butt and said.

Today, everyone in Jinzhou knows that the emperor is temporarily staying at Jinzhou Port during his southern tour, and they are likely to encounter danger if they go out.

The Fourth Prince doesn’t understand all this now. He only knows that there are fun things to do outside, but his mother won’t let him go out.

“Mother, mother, let’s go out and play… go out and play…” The Fourth Prince grabbed Gu Shijin’s thigh and shook it hard.

"No!" Gu Shijin's face darkened and he said sternly. This child is spoiled and won't listen to anything you say.

Seeing that his mother was angry, the Fourth Prince didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. He just had red eyes and looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to.

Gu Shijin looked at him helplessly. This kid was very smart and knew how to make her feel distressed. In the past, when the Fourth Prince was like this, Gu Shijin and Lu Junze would satisfy him, but today that would definitely not work.

That street was so chaotic, taking the child there was simply courting death. Gu Shijin would not take any risks, so she would just stay quietly in the inn, and she estimated that the emperor would not let the fourth prince go there either.

"A Yuan, be obedient." Gu Shijin held the fourth prince on his knees, "Wait until we get to Jiangnan, then father and mother will take you out to play, okay?"

"Mother tells you that Jiangnan is much more lively and more fun than here," said Gu Shijin.

"Really?" asked the Fourth Prince in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. When has mother ever lied to us, A Yuan?"

The Fourth Prince was still somewhat reluctant, but he could see that his mother would not agree, so he could only pout.

"Brother, let's go to the window and look." The Fourth Prince pulled the Third Prince and ran to the window.

The third prince was quiet as soon as he entered the inn, but Gu Shijin could see his yearning for the outside world. It was just that he was always sensible and would not say it out loud.

Gu Shijin looked at the two little guys lying on the window with a trace of heartache in his eyes. Being born in a royal family, there are too many things that are beyond one's control.

"Empress..." Xingzhu had been following Gu Shijin for a long time and immediately knew what Gu Shijin was thinking.

"It's okay." Being born into a royal family also has its advantages. At least Ajin and Ayuan have no worries about food and clothing since birth, and don't have to work hard from a young age.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and Xingzhu asked, "Who?"

"Your Highness, it's you, my humble servant." Gu Shijin raised her eyebrows. The voice belonged to her elder brother.

That's right, Gu Shijin's elder brother Gu Chengfeng also came on this southern tour. He is a small commander of the imperial guards and is responsible for the emperor's safety. But I don't know why the elder brother knocked on her door at this time.

Gu Shijin thought about it and decided to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw an unbelievable scene.

Gu Chengfeng had a lot of things in his hands, so much food and toys that he could hardly lift them all.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Gu Shijin pointed.

"Sister, these are all for you." Gu Chengfeng said.

"Ah?" Gu Shijin was even more surprised, and didn't dare to take it. Although these things were given by his elder brother, he didn't know if they were safe. Of course, his elder brother would definitely not harm him, but what if someone else borrowed his elder brother's hand?

Gu Chengfeng knew what Gu Shijin was thinking at a glance, and he said, "These were all bought by the emperor. They have been tested for poison, so you can eat them without worry, sister."

"Ah?" Gu Shijin was even more surprised, but after being surprised, she was very happy. She asked Xingzhu to take the things from her eldest brother's hand, then bowed towards the room where Lu Junze was, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you too, brother." Gu Shijin said with a smile.

"Why are you being so polite to Big Brother? Go eat with the Third and Fourth Princes. These snacks are better when they are hot."

At this time, the third prince and the fourth prince heard the noise and ran to the door.

"Uncle!" the third prince and the fourth prince said in unison.

It was not the first time that the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince met Gu Chengfeng, but it was the first time that they called Gu Chengfeng uncle. Not only was Gu Chengfeng surprised, but even Gu Shijin did not expect it.

"Oh." Gu Chengfeng rubbed the heads of the two princes excitedly, his eyes slightly red.

"You guys eat quickly, I'm leaving first." Gu Chengfeng said.

Although he and Gu Shijin are siblings, Gu Shijin is the emperor's concubine after all, and it is not good for them to talk at the door for too long.

After Gu Chengfeng left, the two little guys turned their attention to the pile of food on the table, very happy.

"Eat quickly." Gu Shijin said helplessly, while thinking about Lu Junze in his heart. The emperor really cared about this.
