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

In the afternoon, a young eunuch came to report that a minister wanted to see him, so Lu Junze went to handle government affairs, while Gu Shijin read a book in the room.

As she watched, Gu Shijin suddenly thought of something. She waved to Xingzhu and Xingyue. When they came over, she said, "You two are both over 25 now. I'm going to let you leave the palace. Do you have someone you like?"

Gu Shijin's words shocked both Xingzhu and Xingyue, especially Xingyue. She felt that it was because she said something wrong today that made Gu Shijin have such thoughts.

"Your Majesty, it was me who spoke nonsense. Please punish me." Xingyue said as she knelt on the ground.

"Alas." Gu Shijin sighed and pulled Xingyue up, "It has nothing to do with this."

"You have served me for so many years, and I hope you will have someone you can rely on in the future. If you have someone you like, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"You two can't waste your whole lives in the palace."

These words were all from Gu Shijin's heart. The two of them were not modern people. After knowing each other for such a long time, Gu Shijin knew that the two of them wanted to get married and have children.

"Is there really no one you like?" Gu Shijin asked.

Xingzhu and Xingyue looked at each other and shook their heads. When they stayed in the palace, the people they met the most were the palace guards. However, not everyone could be a palace guard. Most of them came from powerful families. They would not be interested in a palace maid, and Xingzhu and Xingyue were not interested in one either.

"My queen, I want to stay with you forever." Xingyue said.

"Same as slave."

"Two silly girls, you can't stay with me in the palace forever. You have been with me for so long, and I hope you can be happy in the future."

Xingzhu and Xingyue's eyes were red at the same time. It was truly a blessing in their lives to meet the Imperial Concubine as their master.

In the palace, the lives of the palace maids are worthless, and only the Imperial Concubine will truly consider them.

"Okay, okay, stop crying." Gu Shijin wiped Xingyue's tears, "How about this, if you meet someone you like, come and tell me, and then I'll give you some dowry."

Gu Shijin would not match these two people up. They have the right to find someone they truly love. Although there are few men in the palace, what if they meet him/her? There are exceptions to everything.

"Thank you, your majesty." Xingzhu Xingyue said.

"Don't say thank you. Remember my words in your heart. If you really meet someone you like, don't miss the opportunity. You are the palace maids around me, and you are no worse than anyone else. If the other person is too bad, I would not want you to marry him or her." Gu Shijin said. What she said was also sincere. Xingzhu and Xingyue were both good girls and deserved happiness for the rest of their lives.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xingzhu and Xingyue now often see the emperor and the empress getting along with each other, so naturally they hope to find someone who can make them happy, but such a person is too hard to find.

When Lu Junze came in the evening, Gu Shijin told him about Xingzhu and Xingyue. Lu Junze said, "That's good. They have served you for many years and have made contributions."

"I'll pick a few suitable palace maids for you. If Xingzhu and Xingyue leave, you'll need a few capable people around you. Train them first." Lu Junze said.

I have to say, she is worthy of being a person who thinks about big things every day. Her ideas are more comprehensive than Gu Shijin's. She only thinks about Xingzhu and Xingyue, but she didn't expect that after Xingzhu and Xingyue left, she would lack capable people.

"Okay, thank you Aze." Gu Shijin still trusted the person chosen by Lu Junze himself.

"I'll let Su Deyuan do it tomorrow." It's easy to find a palace maid, but the hard part is to find one with a clean family background and a pure heart.

Many people were simple and kind-hearted women before entering the palace, but the imperial palace is a big melting pot, full of wealth and glamour, and some people lost their original intentions soon after entering.

It has to be said that Lu Junze has a very clear understanding of the palace.

……

The next day, on his way to court, Lu Junze told Su Deyuan about this matter and asked him to get it done as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At Chenhua Palace, Gu Shijin got up shortly after Lu Junze left. Today was the day when the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects. Gu Shijin had things to deal with today, so he didn't delay.

"Your Majesty, would you like breakfast?" Xingzhu asked.

"Yes." She didn't drag her feet, but she wasn't in a hurry to leave either. These people thought she had a good temper, so she wanted to leave them alone.

Concubine Lan, Concubine Ming and Concubine Ning also came today. They guessed that there would be a good show in Chenhua Palace today, so they came to watch the show.

The three of them did not feel guilty, so they ate and drank as usual, and they found it very interesting to watch the people's faces change every now and then.

Don't you think life is bad now? We have food, drink and entertainment, and no one cares about us, but we still mess around.

"Why didn't Concubine Fang come today?" Concubine Tian suddenly said with an innocent look on her face.

"Sister Tian may not know yet, but Concubine Fang was confined to her room by the Emperor yesterday. I'm afraid she is copying Buddhist scriptures in the palace now." Concubine Qin said.

"Ah?" Lady Tian opened her eyes wide, as if she had no idea what happened yesterday. "Sister Qin, do you know why?"

Concubine Qin didn't like Concubine Tian's innocent look, but she wanted to laugh at Concubine Fang's arrogance, so she just went along with what she said.

"I heard that when the emperor was on his way to Chenhua Palace yesterday, Concubine Fang deliberately fell into the water to attract the emperor's attention, and was punished by the emperor."

"Ah." Concubine Fang suddenly hugged herself tightly, "Why would Sister Tianfang fall into the water on purpose when it was so cold? Was there a misunderstanding?"

Concubine Qin rolled her eyes, "Sister Tian, ​​are you saying that the emperor made a mistake in punishing me?"

"No, no, Sister Qin, that's not what I meant." Lady Tian waved her hands quickly, her eyes red and her face full of grievance, "I just feel a little sorry for Sister Fang."

"Why are you crying?" Concubine Qin said with a bad face, "If you want to cry, go to Concubine Fang. No one here will feel sorry for you or remember your kindness."

Don't you know what kind of people we are? Why are you pretending to be sympathetic here?

"Noble Lady Fang deserves to be confined by the Emperor for using such despicable means to win favor." Concubine Wan said.

"Sister Wanpin said it so lightly. I remember that you were dancing in the Imperial Garden a few days ago." Concubine Qin smiled. "It's so cold, and Sister Wanpin is wearing a thin skirt. She is in great shape."

This matter was known to everyone in the harem, because the emperor left without even looking at Concubine Wan while she was dancing.

Wanpin's face turned red all of a sudden. Is there something wrong with Concubine Qin?

Concubine Lan glanced at Concubine Qin for a few times. She had never realized that Concubine Qin was so good at confronting people before. It was really interesting.

Concubine Qin didn't care what these people thought. Anyway, the harem was like this now and the emperor would not come to her palace, so of course she came as she pleased.
