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

After leaving Yuyun Pavilion, Lu Junze said, "This Yuyun Pavilion is the property of King Qin."

Gu Shijin realized that it was no wonder that the shopkeeper and waiter of Yuyun Pavilion were so tough. It turned out that there was a prince behind them. He was indeed not afraid of a small Tongzhi.

"The King of Qin is the Queen Mother's son." Lu Junze continued. Judging from Gu Shijin's expression just now, Gu Shijin knew nothing about this matter.

"Ah?" Gu Shijin really didn't know.

Gu Shijin had been in the harem for so long, but had never taken the initiative to inquire about things related to the previous dynasty. She did know that the Queen Mother had a son in a fiefdom, but she didn't know that son was the King of Qin.

But to be honest, the fact that Lu Junze could appoint the Queen Mother's son as King of Qin shows that Lu Junze has feelings for both the Queen Mother and the King of Qin. The title of King of Qin is not something that everyone can use.

"Prince Qin manages Yuyun Pavilion very well." Gu Shijin complimented, and it was also true.

If something like today happened in other halls, they would definitely be the ones who suffered. After all, Miss Hua was the daughter of the Tongzhi, and their apparent identities were just ordinary people with some money. It was easy to tell who could be offended and who could not be offended.

Although Prince Qin is behind Yuyun Pavilion, he is developing in Jiangnan Prefecture after all.

Lu Junze smiled when he heard Gu Shijin's words, and put his arm around Gu Shijin's waist to prevent others from touching her. He said, "King Qin does have some talent in business."

This is another reason why Lu Junze can rest assured about the Queen Mother and the King of Qin. The King of Qin really has no intention of becoming an emperor. All his thoughts are on doing business and making money.

Gu Shijin nodded. No matter what, Prince Qin was the emperor's brother, so she should not comment too much.

"Brother, have mother and father forgotten us?"

The third prince and the fourth prince walked hand in hand behind. Looking at the backs of the two people in front, the fourth prince said with some resentment.

The Third Prince tapped the Fourth Prince's head gently and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Junze and Gu Shijin heard what the two brats said and were a little speechless. The Fourth Prince was really a smart little boy.

So Lu Junze and Gu Shijin each held one of their children and slowly returned to the palace.

It’s getting late now. It will be unsafe if it’s too late.

"Mother, I can't walk anymore." Before they had even walked halfway, the Fourth Prince started to act like a spoiled brat.

"You can't walk so soon. Who said you can walk so well?" Gu Shijin said with a smile.

The Fourth Prince: "My son has walked so much today, that's quite impressive."

Lu Junze and Gu Shijin looked at each other and laughed. Although this person is small, he knows a lot.

"Okay, then let daddy hold you, okay?" Lu Junze bent down and said.

"it is good."

Lu Junze held the fourth prince in his arms, while Gu Shijin led the third prince.

"Are you tired, Jin? Do you want me to hold you?" Gu Shijin asked with his head down.

"No." The third prince refused.

The fourth prince was exhausted because he had been too noisy and running all the way. The third prince had been well-behaved all the way and didn't look tired at all.

"Tell mother if you feel tired." Gu Shijin rubbed the third prince's head.

"My son knows."

It was no secret that Lu Junze took Gu Shijin and the two princes out to play today, and many concubines in the harem knew about it.

Although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to show it. Now that there was no queen in the harem, Gu Shijin, the imperial concubine, was the one with the highest rank in the harem, and they did not dare to offend her easily.

"Fox spirit!" Concubine Yang, Noble Lady Wang, Noble Lady Yao and Noble Lady Shu were chatting in Concubine Yang's room. When they learned that the emperor and his companions had returned, Noble Lady Shu said indignantly.

"Sister Shu, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." Concubine Wang said.

"What are you worried about, sister? I didn't say who it was." Concubine Shu didn't like Concubine Wang very much. She thought she was cowardly and was still a small noble after entering the palace for so long.

After hearing this, Concubine Wang said nothing more. A fool can never change his stupidity.

"She now holds the highest position in the harem. Not only is she favored by the emperor, but she is also pregnant. I advise my sisters not to offend her." Concubine Yang glanced at a few people and said.

"Hmph, a child? It's not certain whether it can be born." Concubine Shu said in a low voice.

Concubine Yang and Concubine Wang heard it. They looked at each other and then lowered their heads to hide the emotions in their eyes.

Concubine Yao also heard it and quickly pushed Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she looked up and smiled awkwardly.

The awkward silence in the room was not broken until the palace maid came in to report.

"My lady, Mr. Wen is here."

"Why is she here?" Yangpin asked. Wen Guiren considered herself the niece of the Concubine Dowager and never took people like them seriously.

"This slave doesn't know."

"Forget it, let her in." Yang Bin said.

Lady Wen is just a minor noble now, and she is not afraid of what she may do.

Originally, Concubine Wen was not allowed to come on this southern tour. It was only because the Concubine Dowager pleaded with the Emperor that she was able to come.

"Sister pays respects to Sister Yangpin." Concubine Wen bowed after coming in.

This action surprised several people in the room. Is this something that Lady Wen could do?

"Sister Wen is here, please sit down." Yangpin smiled and said, "Bring tea."

Although they all disliked Concubine Wen, she was the Concubine Dowager's niece after all, and they couldn't really break off with Concubine Wen.

"Why is Sister Wen here?" asked Yang Bin.

Lady Wen said a little embarrassedly: "It's too boring in the palace. I heard that the sisters were chatting here, so I came over to sit down. Sisters, please don't dislike me."

The conversation was very nice, and even if a few people had opinions, they wouldn't say anything.

"What are you talking about, Sister Wen? It will be more lively when there are more people."

That being said, none of them talked much afterwards and only said some polite words.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Miss Wen arrived, everyone dispersed.

"My lady, what do you think Lady Wen means by this?" asked Yangpin's personal maid.

"Heh." Yang Concubine sneered, "What else could it be for? To win favor."

Whatever the women in the harem do, isn't it all to win favor? I just don't know what evil ideas Lady Wen is up to.

"My lady, although this noble lady Wen has fallen out of favor, she is still the niece of the Concubine Dowager after all. I'm afraid she cannot be easily offended."

"You're right, so let Concubine Shu do the things that offend people." She's an idiot anyway.

Gu Shijin: But I didn’t know that someone in the palace had gathered together to plot against her again. She started to feel sleepy after she came back.

"Not feeling well?" Lu Junze said as he looked at Gu Shijin's haggard appearance.

Gu Shijin shook his head and said, "I walked too much today and I feel a little sleepy."

"Then Jin'er, please go to bed early. I still have some government affairs to take care of." Su Deyuan just reported that the Minister of War wanted to see him.

"Xingzhu, serve your queen well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
