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

“Your Majesty, are you exaggerating too much?” Gu Shijin sat on the Luohan bed and looked at Lu Junze helplessly.

If you want to make up the story, just go for it. There's no need to go so extreme. When Xiao Linzi came to tell Gu Shijin about what people wore, Gu Shijin was shocked. Is this still her, Gu Shijin?

Gu Shijin has never thought of himself as a good person. Good people cannot survive in this palace.

"That's not an exaggeration. Every word I asked them to pass on is true." Lu Junze said.

What he said was also true, at least that was how Gu Shijin felt in his heart.

Gu Shijin didn't dwell on it anymore. It's not good for a man to be blamed for doing good for you, and that man is the emperor. Anyway, it's not a big deal, so just do it.

After the rain stopped, Lu Junze felt much more relieved. Things in the court were back on track, and he now had free time every day.

Whenever he has time, Lu Junze will come to Chenhua Palace to see the three children and play with Lingyi.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a cry. They looked at each other and realized it must be Ling Yi.

Lingyi's room was covered with thick carpets, just like Ayuan and Ajin's rooms when they were children. Lingyi was about to turn one year old, and Gu Shijin often let her crawl on the floor.

"What happened?" Lu Junze was faster than Gu Shijin and asked while holding Ling Yi.

"Your Majesty, the little princess's toy fell under the table," said the nurse.

Gu Shijin grabbed Ling Yi's little hand and shook it, "Pick it up if it fell, why are you crying?"

She stopped crying after Lu Junze and Gu Shijin came. She looked at the two of them with her big watery eyes. No one could stand her like this.

"Your Majesty, it's already washed." At this time, a palace maid came in with something.

The little princess especially likes to chew things, so Gu Shijin requires them to keep everything the little princess plays with clean, and anything that falls on the ground must be disinfected before giving it to the little princess.

Gu Shijin took the toy and placed it in Xiao Lingyi's arms, "Here, continue playing."

“Hehehe…” Little Lingyi laughed all of a sudden.

"You're getting cuter and cuter." Gu Shijin pinched her chin. It's true that girls are cuter than boys. Even A Yuan and A Jin like Xiao Lingyi very much. They come to see Xiao Lingyi after school every day before going back to their room to do the homework assigned by the teacher.

"Our children are naturally the cutest." Lu Junze also said with a smile.

“Your Majesty, your father filter is a bit heavy.” Gu Shijin is getting more and more casual when getting along with Lu Junze, and some words pop out unconsciously, such as now.

"Filter?"

"Uh..." Gu Shijin froze for a moment. How to explain this?

"It's just that the emperor looks at little Lingyi and thinks she is cute and well-behaved no matter how he looks at her."

Lu Junze nodded, "Of course, we only have this one daughter, so naturally we should spoil her more."

Gu Shijin knew that Lu Junze was afraid of hurting her body and didn't want her to get pregnant again.

During this period, every time she was favored by the emperor, Gu Shijin took the contraceptive pill. This contraceptive pill was specially prescribed by Lu Junze at the Imperial Hospital, and it would not cause any harm to the woman's body.

But Gu Shijin still felt uncomfortable. Why was she the one taking the birth control pill? Can't you solve it yourself?

But Lu Junze is the emperor, and he has probably never thought of such a thing. Who dares to harm the dragon's body? What a serious crime that would be.

But now, every time Gu Shijin took the medicine, he had to act artificially, and she couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't change Lu Junze's mind.

Gu Shijin narrowed his eyes, and the thought of not wanting to take the medicine came to his mind again.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I don't plan to hold a big party for Lingyi's first birthday. We can just celebrate it ourselves when the time comes." Daxia had just suffered from a drought, and if a big party was held for the little princess' first birthday, rumors would probably spread outside.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the former dynasty and the harem are all well-behaved now; it’s actually all an illusion.

Take the harem for example. Several high-ranking concubines probably don’t have any ideas now and are relatively well-behaved every day, but it’s not the same for the lower-ranking concubines. These people are still thinking about getting Lu Junze’s favor and turning their fortunes around.

Gu Shijin had heard more than once that concubines were dancing and singing in the imperial garden, and he was looking forward to running into the emperor and gaining his favor.

There are even more daring ones who directly intercept the emperor on the way from Chengqian Palace to Chenhua Palace, trying to snatch Gu Shijin's favor.

When Gu Shijin found out, he just smiled and said, "Go ahead and grab it. You're awesome if you can grab it."

Gu Shijin did not punish these people, but Lu Junze did, saying that these people were becoming more and more restless, and punished them to copy Buddhist scriptures in the palace and pray for refugees all over the world.

Look at this excuse for copying Buddhist scriptures, who would dare not copy them?

Lu Junze thought about it and nodded, "Okay, we can just do it simply when the time comes."

The one-year-old birthday party also has to include the "Zhuazhou" ceremony and other ceremonies, so it cannot be completely skipped. If it weren't for this incident, Lu Junze would have wanted to hold a grand ceremony for the little princess. His, Lu Junze's most beloved little princess, deserves the blessings of everyone in the court.

If Gu Shijin knew what Lu Junze was thinking, he would roll his eyes.

Are you still planning to invite ministers from the previous dynasty to come and celebrate the little princess' first birthday?

"Father, emperor, mother and concubine."

There was no need to think about it, this voice must be the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince ran in front, and the third prince followed behind. The third prince seemed much more stable.

Now that they are getting older, the two children have more and more differences, and it is completely possible to tell which is the third prince and which is the fourth prince.

Gu Shijin often feels fortunate that in this era there is no saying that twins are monsters, otherwise these two children would have suffered great injustice.

People of this era have always attached great importance to children, believing that children are a blessing from God. Twins, for example, can usually only be conceived by people with great fortune.

"Ajin, Ayuan." Gu Shijin waved to the two children and looked at them with a loving face.

The two children are almost four years old and are becoming more and more sensible, especially Ajin, who seems to know everything.

"Just came back from Xiefang Palace?" Xiefang Palace was home to other princess children. Gu Shijin never stopped them from going out to play, and he even encouraged them to go more often and have good relationships with their brothers. Gu Shijin didn't want them to become enemies in the future.

"Yes, mother." said the third prince.

"Sister, sister." The Fourth Prince loves his sister the most. He must see her every day and play with her, otherwise he will be unhappy.

"Ah ah ah..."

Little Lingyi was so happy to see her two brothers that she danced with joy.

"Father, Mother, can I hold my sister?" the Fourth Prince asked expectantly.

"You try and see if you can hold it." Lu Junze said.

Lu Junze handed the little princess to A Yuan and reached out to receive her. The Fourth Prince was quite strong and actually picked her up.

This time, Ajin also hugged him, looking very happy.
