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

Gu Shijin originally thought that Lu Junze had some special arrangements for coming to Yunyang City tonight, but the fact turned out to be that Lu Junze accompanied her to visit the night market for an hour.

"Is there anything else you want to go shopping or eat?" Lu Junze wiped Gu Shijin's mouth with a handkerchief, with a doting smile on his face.

Gu Shijin shook his head and said, "No more, I'm too full."

After saying this, he burped in a very rude manner. Gu Shijin blushed and whispered, "Jin'er is rude."

"No way, I think Jin'er is very cute." Lu Junze said while putting his arm around Gu Shijin's waist.

At this moment, Gu Shijin really felt that they were a couple, but she knew that was not the case.

"Aze, let's go back." They had been walking around for so long that it was about time. As a concubine, she couldn't live outside the palace anyway. She shouldn't be too attached to the worldly life outside the palace, otherwise she would be the one who got hurt.

"Let's walk around for a while longer. It's rare that I have time to walk with you like this." Lu Junze said.

Lu Junze has always known that Gu Shijin doesn't like life in the palace, but there is nothing he can do. Given their identities, he can only try his best to fulfill her little wish at this time.

Since it was Lu Junze's request, Gu Shijin would not be foolish enough to refuse, so he naturally took Lu Junze's hand and went shopping again.

Lu Junze looked at Gu Shijin's natural movements with a smile in his eyes, and then he followed.

"Aze, Yunyang City is so prosperous." Gu Shijin couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah." Lu Junze nodded, feeling very happy.

Under his governance, Daxia was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and led a rich life. How could one not be proud of such a prosperous scene?

Gu Shijin knew best how to make Lu Junze happy. She leaned close to Lu Junze's ear and whispered, "It's all because of the emperor's good governance. The emperor is really amazing."

Every man likes his woman to worship him, and Lu Junze is no exception.

He lowered his head and quickly kissed Gu Shijin on the face, "Jin'er has such a sweet mouth."

"Jin'er is telling the truth." It was indeed the truth. As an emperor, Lu Junze was worthy of the people. He governed the country very well. The people had food to eat and most of them even had some spare money.

“I hope they can always live well and not suffer from the pain of war.”

Gu Shijin was already full and still a little bloated, so he spent the rest of the time shopping with Lu Junze, looking around.

"Aze, look, they are carving little figures, right?" Gu Shijin pointed to a small stall.

It was a very small stall. In front of the stall sat an old man, carving wood. On the stall were placed small carved ornaments of all kinds, including puppies, kittens, little tigers... each one was lifelike.

“Yes, it is indeed carved wood.” Lu Junze nodded.

"Aze, let's go over and take a look." Gu Shijin had seen people carving wood in his previous life, but none of them were as good as this old man. And this old man was really fast. They only watched for a while, but the one in his hand had a rough shape.

"it is good."

As the two walked over, the old man who was carving noticed them. He put down what he was holding, stood up and said, "What would you two like to buy?"

"Look around and take whatever you like." The old man had a kind smile on his face, which made people feel at ease.

"Okay." Gu Shijin picked up a little tiger and asked, "Grandpa, did you carve these yourself?"

The old man was quite old, but his hearing was still very good. He smiled and nodded when he heard what Gu Shijin said, and said, "Yes, yes, I carved these myself."

"Grandpa, you carved it really well."

"Let's buy a tiger one and a rabbit one." Gu Shijin said.

Lu Junze: "As long as Jin'er likes it."

"Grandpa, how much are these two?"

"Sir, the total is fifty cents." The old man said with a smile.

This price is very expensive for ordinary people to buy two useless ornaments, but Gu Shijin did not have this worry. She even had no copper coins on her at the beginning. Later, she found that many snacks required copper coins, so she asked someone to change copper coins for her.

"Okay, we'll take it." Gu Shijin counted out fifty copper coins and gave them to the old man.

"Thank you, ma'am, and thank you, sir." said the old man.

Gu Shijin finished her shopping and was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something. She looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, can you carve people?"

"Sure, ma'am, do you want me to carve something for you?" His business is actually pretty good every day, and because of his good skills, people often come to him to carve for them.

Gu Shijin didn't say anything immediately, but looked at Lu Junze. If he really wanted to carve it, it would definitely take a while to finish.

"If Jin'er likes it, carve it."

"You two have such a good relationship." said the old man, looking at them.

Lu Junze was very happy to hear this, and pulled Gu Shijin to sit on the stool next to him.

"Go ahead and carve two, or can you carve both together?"

The old man understood what it meant as soon as he heard it, and said yes with a smile. After Lu Junze agreed, he immediately picked up the tools and started carving.

"Aze, this is against the rules." Gu Shijin said in a low voice.

She was just a concubine. How could she be carved together with the emperor? If the queen knew about it, she would eat her.

"No one will know, just hide it quietly." Lu Junze whispered in Gu Shijin's ear.

Gu Shijin: “…” Why do I feel so excited?

"Okay." Gu Shijin is really not a rigid person.

This old man was really quick and he carved two figures very quickly, finishing them in less than two quarters of an hour.

Gu Shijin and Lu Junze are carved vividly, with smiles in their eyes and eyebrows, and you can tell at a glance that they are a couple with a very good relationship.

"Aze, does it look good?" Gu Shijin asked.

Lu Junze: “It looks good.”

Then Lu Junze put a few taels of silver on the stall and quickly took Gu Shijin away.

The old man kept looking at the two people until they left quickly. Then he reacted and said, "You two, this is too much."

Although the old man was in good spirits, there was no way he could catch up with Gu Shijin and the other man. When Gu Shijin heard the voice, he waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The old man looked at the silver on the table and sighed. He must have met a noble person.

Ten taels of silver, enough for his family to live on for several years.

Moreover, the location where Lu Junze was placed was hidden, and no one except the old man could see it.

"Then I wish you two a long and happy life together!" The old man bowed in the direction where Gu Shijin and the others were leaving.

Gu Shijin and Lu Junze left without knowing what happened, but they were both very happy.
