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

"Your Majesty, if I am willing to leave the palace, can you please not tell my family?" At this time, a talented person stood up and asked.

Gu Shijin didn't know this person, but from her questions he could tell that this woman must have a bad relationship with her family, and perhaps she was even forced to enter the palace by her family. In this case, Gu Shijin was certainly willing to help.

"Of course." Gu Shijin nodded with a smile.

"You don't have to rush to make a decision. Go back and think about it carefully. When you have made up your mind, just come and tell me anytime." Gu Shijin said.

"If you choose to stay in the palace, you can come here to chat when you have nothing to do. We all live together in the harem and are sisters. There is no need to be too restrained." Gu Shijin said. Otherwise, it would be boring for her to live alone in the harem. Maybe she could find two friends.

"Thank you, Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Everyone stood up and said.

This incident still affected everyone's mood, and everyone was a little uncomfortable sitting down. Gu Shijin also noticed it and waved his hand to let them go back.

These women were confined by the times, and their thoughts could not be changed in a short period of time. Even if someone wanted to leave the palace, it was impossible for them to make a decision immediately.

Moreover, filial piety is the most important thing in Da Xia, so they always have to consider their family members, such as the talented person who just asked them the question.

Not telling family members does reduce a lot of trouble, but if family members find out later, other people will inevitably gossip about it, and it will hurt the relationship between the whole family.

Of course, if there is no affection at all, that’s another story.

After seeing Gu Shijin off, these people went back to play with little Lingyi. She could now walk slowly and speak clearly, so Gu Shijin would play with her for a while every day.

"The Queen is so nice." Xingyue suddenly sighed.

"Hmm?" Gu Shijin glanced at Xingyue and smiled, "Why are you still sighing?"

"I just feel that it is a blessing for me to meet the queen." Xingyue said.

Her Majesty always considers things from the other party's perspective, just like the matter in the harem this time.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't have thought so much and would have sent away everyone in the harem long ago.

Gu Shijin saw what Xingyue was thinking. She touched Xiao Lingyi's head and said softly, "It's not easy for everyone. Please help if you can."

This era is so unfriendly to women.

……

The concubines who left Chenhua Palace also began to discuss this matter.

The woman who just asked Gu Shijin a question was named Liu, and her name was Liu Cairen.

Liu Cairen's father was just a county magistrate, and Liu Cairen was born out of wedlock. He sent his daughter to the palace because he wanted her to fight for a future for him, so he controlled Liu Cairen's biological mother.

"My lady, do you want to leave the palace?" asked Liu Cairen's maid.

This maid was brought into the palace by her from home. She had been serving her since she was a child and was loyal to her.

Liu Cairen sighed and said, "If I leave, what will my aunt do?"

Her father was a scumbag. He kept many concubines in the backyard and asked them to give birth to daughters for him. He then gave these daughters to his superiors and powerful people to expand his own connections.

It sounds unreliable, but that's actually how his father got his position as county magistrate.

However, he was unable to curry favor with more powerful people, and thus remained a small official like county magistrate.

But once a person has enjoyed benefits, it is impossible to change him. So his father thought of giving his daughter to the emperor. After all, no one is more powerful than the emperor.

Liu Cairen is the most beautiful of County Magistrate Liu's daughters, and she is also the one who cares the most about her mother. Such a person is the easiest to use.

So County Magistrate Liu used his connections to send her to the palace, but Concubine Liu had no intention of fighting for it. As long as she was alive and in the palace, County Magistrate Liu would not go too far with her mother, and Concubine Liu would just live her life from day to day.

But today, Gu Shijin's words moved Liu Cairen.

She was less than twenty years old and didn't want to waste her whole life in the palace. She wanted to see the outside world, and if possible, she wanted to take her aunt with her.

"It's not that easy to leave the palace. Besides, I still have my concubine to consider." Liu Cairen said dejectedly.

"My lady, why don't you beg the Imperial Concubine to help you?" said the maid. She knew that the Imperial Concubine was a very kind person. What if she agreed?

Liu Cairen was a little moved by what she said, but she was also a little hesitant. She had also gone to the play last time, and she still remembered how majestic the Imperial Concubine was.

"My lady, if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your aunt. There is no news about you in the palace. Sooner or later, the master will..." attack your aunt. The maid didn't finish the rest of the words, but Lady Liu understood.

"Let me think about it again." Liu Cairen said in a low voice, feeling very depressed.

There were several other people who wanted to leave the palace like Liu Cairen, including Ning Jieyu.

After leaving Chenhua Palace, she strolled around the Imperial Garden. Then, instead of returning to her own palace, she returned to Chenhua Palace.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is here." Xing Zhu reported.

Gu Shijin was not surprised at all. If anyone in the palace wanted to leave the most, it would be Concubine Ning. Her personality was not suitable for living in the palace.

"Yuer is here." Gu Shijin said with a smile.

Ning Jieyu blushed, "Sister."

"Let's not talk about that for now, just hug little Lingyi." Gu Shijin said.

Concubine Ning liked little Lingyi very much and often came to Chenhua Palace to hold little Lingyi and play with her. Fortunately, little Lingyi also liked Concubine Ning very much and they both called her aunt now.

Gu Shijin didn't stop her when he saw this, and just let her be aunt.

"Little Lingyi." Concubine Ning held little Lingyi in her arms, her face full of joy. She really liked little Lingyi.

"Auntie." Little Lingyi called in a baby voice.

"good."

Ning Jieyu looked like she had something to say, so Gu Shijin didn't delay for too long and said to Lingyi's nurse, "Take the little princess down with you."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the little princess was carried away, Gu Shijin looked at Concubine Ning and asked, "Have you considered it?"

"Yes." Concubine Ning nodded and said, "This palace is not suitable for me. I also want to go out more while I am still young and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxia."

"Okay." Gu Shijin nodded, "It's good to go out for a walk. I hope you can meet someone you like."

Ning Jieyu could be considered her first friend in this world, so of course she hoped that she lived a good life.

Ning Jieyu shook her head and said, "I don't want to think about these things. I just don't want to be trapped in the palace."

"Okay, I'll tell the emperor."

"When do you want to leave?"

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, but don't forget Xiao Lingyi when you go out. You are her aunt."

"certainly"
