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

Life became more leisurely after arriving in Jiangnan. Although they couldn't leave the palace often, Lu Junze would occasionally take Gu Shijin out for a walk.

At first, Lu Junze avoided the third prince and the fourth prince, but these two little guys somehow found out about this and started making trouble, saying that their father was not keeping his word and would not take them out to play.

There was no way Lu Junze could handle the naughty Fourth Prince, so he had no choice but to bring the two brats along.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I can go out and play now!" When the Fourth Prince heard that he could go out, he ran laps around the house several times.

"Don't run away, go change your clothes." Gu Shijin caught the Fourth Prince and pinched his little face.

"I understand, concubine."

Although the third prince did not say anything, the expectation in his eyes was obvious.

If they were going out, they definitely couldn't wear the clothes they usually wore in the palace. These two pieces of clothing were prepared for them in advance by Gu Shijin.

It is not made of good material, but cotton cloth that even wealthy people would not wear. It is neither exquisite nor gorgeous, but its only advantage is that it is not eye-catching.

Gu Shijin did it on purpose. She just wanted the two children to experience how poor people dress.

But she still softened her heart and did not let the two of them wear clothes made of linen.

Lu Junze knew about Gu Shijin's plan but did not stop him. When he went out with his master before, he not only wore linen clothes but also ate tree bark.

He was still young at that time, and his master took him and his senior brother to the deep mountains and they got lost. If they had not been lucky, they would have probably been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains.

So he thought there was nothing wrong with wearing cotton clothes.

But Xingyue really felt sorry for the two little princes. She had taken care of the two little princes for a period of time and had a deep affection for the two children. Seeing them suffer, she was naturally unwilling to do so.

"Your Majesty, the two princes' skin is so delicate, how can they bear to wear such clothes?" Xingyue said with concern.

Gu Shijin: “…”

Why can't I stand it? If I really can't stand it, it's because you spoil me!

"They look so nice and energetic in these clothes." Gu Shijin said as he looked at the two kids who had already changed their clothes.

Xingyue said nothing more after seeing this. She was just a servant and felt sorry for the two princes.

The third prince and the fourth prince just felt that the clothes were not as comfortable as the ones they wore before, but they didn’t feel anything special about anything else.

"Mother, can we go out now?" the Fourth Prince said excitedly.

Gu Shijin: "You can leave only after your father comes."

"Ajin, Ayuan, you can't call me mother or father anymore after you go out." Gu Shijin said, touching the third prince's head.

The fourth prince blinked and said, "So you call her mother?"

Gu Shijin quickly covered the Fourth Prince's mouth. She was a concubine, even if she was a noble concubine she was only a concubine. She didn't dare let the two children call her mother.

"No, shout..."

"Yes, just call me mother."

Two voices sounded at the same time. Gu Shijin looked up and saw that it was Lu Junze who walked in in casual clothes.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Greetings, father." The two little boys saluted obediently.

Lu Junze took Gu Shijin's hand and asked her to get up. He looked at the third and fourth princes and said, "Call us father and mother after we get out."

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules." Gu Shijin looked at Lu Junze and said.

"Jin'er, don't worry." Lu Junze straightened Gu Shijin's hair and chuckled, "Isn't it just the rules?"

These words were said in a very domineering manner, which even stunned Gu Shijin for a moment, but he had to admit that Lu Junze was right.

In this world where imperial power is supreme, Lu Junze is the rule.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shijin bowed with a sweet smile on his face.

As a mother, how could she not want to hear her child call her mother?

It was just that her identity previously destined her to never achieve this, but now she can finally feel it.

Alas, Gu Shijin sighed silently, it is not easy to live in the royal family.

The Jiangnan water town has a pleasant scenery. Even the streets are very different from those in the capital.

People in Jiangnan pay attention to the quality of life. Whether it is food or daily necessities, they are all very fine, even the street stalls are no exception.

At this moment, the four of them were eating wontons on the roadside. The wontons had thin skin and lots of meat. They left a lingering fragrance in the mouth, a flavor that was hard to find in Beijing.

"Dad, Mom, these wontons are delicious." said the Fourth Prince.

The two little ones couldn't finish one bowl each, so Gu Shijin let them have one bowl each.

"It's delicious. Eat more. You won't be able to taste this flavor when you get home." Gu Shijin picked up the sesame seed cake on the table and said, "Try this sesame seed cake. Your father bought it himself."

This sesame seed bun is somewhat similar to the preserved vegetable and pork bun that Gu Shijin ate in his previous life. It is also baked in an iron barrel-like stove instead of being fried in oil.

Not to mention, Gu Shijin was surprised when she saw it at first. She had never seen cakes made like this in the capital, but she didn't expect to see it in Jiangnan.

As expected, Jiangnan University is a university that loves life and knows how to make trouble.

The third prince and the fourth prince each tasted a piece of the cake and said it was delicious.

"Don't eat too much, there are other delicious foods." Lu Junze looked at the three of them with a satisfied smile on his face.

Lu Junze actually also has a simple wish, which is to live his life like ordinary people. However, his identity makes it impossible, so he can only experience it in his free time.

"Yeah." Gu Shijin nodded.

Lu Junze not only took the three of them out to eat and drink, but also took them shopping.

Yuyun Pavilion is the largest jewelry shop in Jiangnan. After Lu Junze fed the three people, he took them to Yuyun Pavilion.

"Aze, I already have a lot of jewelry." And they are all from the palace, the craftsmanship must be better than those outside.

Lu Junze smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's go and take a look. We are already in Jiangnan, it would be a pity if we don't go and take a look."

Well, that makes sense. Whether to buy it or not is another matter, but it’s worth a look.

Gu Shijin originally thought that no matter how famous Yuyun Pavilion was, it could never compare to the craftsmanship in the palace. After all, those things in the palace were related to the nine clans.

But when Gu Shijin walked in, she found that these jewellery were no worse than those in the palace. She even thought some of them were better than those in the palace.

Lu Junze couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Shijin's eyes light up, "How is it? Will Jin'er's trip not be in vain?"

"Aze, did you do this on purpose? You must have known it a long time ago."

"The biggest feature of Yuyun Pavilion's jewelry is that it is exquisite and unique. Many pieces of jewelry are one-of-a-kind and there are no duplicates." Lu Junze said.

There are many rich people in Jiangnan, and what rich people fear most is having the same things as others, so many things in Yuyun Pavilion are one-of-a-kind.

Gu Shijin understood this. It was just the vanity of rich people.

"Jin'er, take a look. If there's one you like, your husband will buy it for you." Lu Junze said with a wave of his hand.
