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

Su Wenxin was a person who didn't hesitate. Since she had made up her mind, she went to Chenhua Palace to find Gu Shijin the next day.

"I've been waiting for you to come." Gu Shijin looked at Su Wenxin and smiled.

"Your Majesty, did you know that I would definitely come?" Su Wenxin also smiled, a little surprised by Gu Shijin's words.

Gu Shijin took a sip of tea and said, "I guess so. You have a decisive personality, so this palace is not suitable for you."

It is said that the person who knows you best is your opponent. Although there have not been major conflicts between Gu Shijin and Su Wenxin, Su Wenxin is in a high position after all, and Gu Shijin has also tried to understand her.

"I won't be able to eat the cakes and drinks in the Queen's Palace anymore." Su Wenxin sighed after taking a bite of the snowflake crisp.

This snowflake crisp was recently made by the small kitchen, and both Gu Shijin and the Fourth Prince love it.

"These are not difficult to make. If you like, I can write the recipe for you."

Su Wenxin was not polite either. She said, "No need for the others. I prefer your snowflake crisp."

"Okay, then I'll give you the recipe for Snowflake Crisp." Gu Shijin nodded, "There are a lot of things you can put in here, it depends on what you like."

Su Wenxin: "Thank you, Madam."

"When are you planning to leave?" Gu Shijin asked.

Judging from Su Wenxin's appearance, she probably won't stay in the capital.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Now that you've made the decision, leave early."

"it is good."

Su Wenxin stood up and bowed, "Thank you."

Gu Shijin shook her head. She didn't do anything but just helped them to the best of her ability.

"If there is a chance for us to meet again, you can call me Su Wenxin."

"Okay, Su Wenxin."

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

"Another one is gone." Gu Shijin sighed as he looked at Su Wenxin's back. Most people still don't like life in the palace.

Although I am rich and have no worries about food and clothing, I don't have freedom here.

"Your Majesty, why do you think Concubine Xian doesn't want to leave the palace?" Xingyue asked.

"The virtuous concubine." Gu Shijin shook her head. She didn't know this person, but she could feel that she had low worldly desires and could survive anywhere.

To be honest, if you don't feel that the palace restricts you, life in the harem is actually quite good, especially for a high-ranking concubine like Concubine Xian.

There is food, drink, clothes and people to serve you.

"The virtuous concubine is a smart person." Smart people can live well wherever they go.

This day was the day for all the concubines to pay their respects to the emperor at Chenhua Palace, and Gu Shijin was pulled out of bed early by Xingzhu again.

"Your Majesty, get up. Everyone from the harem will be here to pay their respects soon." Xing Zhu said.

"Why do you still have to pay your respects? Haven't you already left?" Gu Shijin said dissatisfiedly.

Xingzhu sighed helplessly, "But my lady, there is still a part that hasn't left."

“Ahhhhh!” Gu Shijin sat up, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Since the queen was gone, Lu Junze would not wake her up when he went to court, so Gu Shijin began to like sleeping in. The day every month when the concubines came to pay their respects was the most annoying day for Gu Shijin.

"Xingzhu, do you think it's okay for me to cancel the greetings?" Gu Shijin said.

"Your Majesty, now the concubines in the harem only come to Chenhua Palace to pay their respects once a month, which is already too little."

"Ok."

Reality is too cruel and unkind to me. Just for those ten minutes of greetings, I have to get up one or two hours earlier!

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine An asked for leave and did not come today, so the one leading the group was Concubine Ming.

"Please sit down." There were only eight people in total, so sparsely populated that even the main hall couldn't be filled.

"I have recently made some new cakes in the palace. Everyone, come and try them." Gu Shijin didn't know what to do at this time. Since others have come from far away, he might as well treat everyone to something to eat.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

"Not so polite."

The concubines in the harem all like the pastries from Chenhua Palace, because they are not only novel but also delicious.

The snowflake crisps were especially popular, and most people ate two pieces.

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict has arrived." Everyone in the room was eating happily when Xiao Linzi suddenly came in and said.

Gu Shijin was a little confused. What imperial edict? I didn’t hear Lu Junze say it.

However, the imperial edict had already arrived, so Gu Shijin could only take a group of people out to receive it.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I have received the imperial decree, and have inherited the great plan. I have been blessed with the birth of the Imperial Noble Consort Gu Shijin. She is a woman of both virtue and talent, a beautiful lady from the royal family, and a beautiful and graceful lady. She is known for her gentle and bright appearance, virtuous and virtuous character, and she is respectful and prudent, and has established a good reputation among the imperial court. She is a noble person, intelligent, well-mannered, and has a quiet and elegant character. I have received the gracious instructions of the Empress Dowager, and I have appointed you as the Empress and granted you the residence in Qifeng Palace.

Qin Zai. "

The sudden imperial edict startled Gu Shijin, but others were not surprised at all and thought it was very normal.

Isn't it a matter of time before the Emperor appoints the Imperial Noble Consort as Empress?

"Empress, please accept the order." Su Deyuan said with a smile.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor."

After Gu Shijin stood up after reading the imperial edict, all the concubines and maids in Chenhua Palace knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Queen."

Logically speaking, the Queen's enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, so she cannot be called Queen at this time, but everyone knows how much the Emperor likes the Queen, so this is not a problem.

Didn't you see that the Emperor's personal steward is always called Empress? !

"Everyone, get up, reward." Gu Shijin waved his hand.

Although Gu Shijin knew that Lu Junze would enthrone her as queen sooner or later, she didn't expect it to be today. She thought she would have to wait another two years.

Gu Shijin was not wrong in his guess. Lu Junze was not prepared to be so hasty at the beginning. It would be better to wait a few years until the third and fourth princes were older before conferring the title on Gu Shijin.

However, the poisoning of the third and fourth princes and the departure of concubines from the palace made him change his mind.

He wants to give Jin'er the best.

Although the Imperial Noble Consort has the same rank as the Vice Queen, she is not the Queen after all. Some things are more convenient for the Queen to handle.

In fact, Lu Junze did not do this secretly. Enthroning a queen was a big deal, so he still had to report to the previous dynasty. However, the ministers of the previous dynasty had already seen the emperor's determination. Even if Gu Shijin was not made queen, the emperor would not make anyone else queen. In that case, why bother to provoke the emperor's dislike?

Therefore, everyone agreed. Go ahead and establish her. After all, she is the emperor's harem, as long as you are happy.

"Your Majesty, we, the concubines, will take our leave first." Everyone knew how to read the situation and thought it would not be appropriate to stay in Chenhua Palace at the moment, so they all suggested leaving.

"Okay." Gu Shijin nodded, "I'll invite everyone to get together when I have time."

Gu Shijin looked up at the sky. Ten years had passed. This year was exactly the tenth year since she entered the palace.
