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

On the day before the Chinese New Year, Gu Shijin finally finished the underwear for Lu Junze.

Gu Shijin spent a long time making this simple undergarment, but because she made a mistake once in the middle, she had to start over.

Since it's worn by the emperor, you can't just patch it up.

Gu Shijin took the clothes and looked at them carefully, then nodded with satisfaction. The fabric was comfortable and the stitching was very delicate. There was a dragon soaring in the sky embroidered on it, which looked very lifelike.

This dragon was not embroidered by Gu Shijin. Although she had the memories of the original owner, her technique was not yet at this level. This dragon was embroidered by Xingzhu, and it is authentic Suzhou embroidery.

"Sister Xingzhu, your embroidery skills are really great." Xingyue exclaimed.

Xing Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xing Yue, you are too kind. I learned some of this when I was young, but rarely used it after entering the palace. Fortunately, the technique is still there and can help my lady."

Gu Shijin looked at the two of them and smiled. She felt that she was very lucky to have met Xingyue, Xingzhu and Xiao Linzi, the three of them, who managed Ningyu Pavilion in an orderly manner. Although Xiao Linzi was not usually there to serve, he was very reliable in doing things and was very quick in getting information.

The most important thing is that the three of them are loyal to her.

The people below had done a good job, so they naturally had to be rewarded. Gu Shijin said, "I remember there are still a few pieces of good material in the warehouse that you can use. You two can use them to make two new sets of clothes for yourselves, and don't forget Xiao Linzi's as well."

"This is not a New Year's gift."

Xingzhu and Xingyue said, "Thank you, young master."

"As for the New Year rewards, first-class palace maids and eunuchs will be rewarded with five taels of silver and a piece of cloth, and the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs will be rewarded with two taels of silver." Gu Shijin said.

There are few people in her Ningyu Pavilion. Except for Xingyue and the other three who are first-class, the others are all palace maids and eunuchs who do menial work. Two taels of silver is considered a good salary.

Many eunuchs who do menial work in the palace may not even receive rewards.

"Yes, my lord."

Who in the palace doesn't want to follow a generous and good master? After all, everyone enters the palace to work and earn money.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"Your concubine pays respects to the emperor." Gu Shijin stood up and said with a smile.

Lu Junze supported her and didn't let her finish her greetings, and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Xingzhu and Xingyue retreated to the door, leaving only Lu Junze and Gu Shijin in the room.

"Your Majesty..." Gu Shijin blinked and said, "Your Majesty, guess?"

"Okay, let me guess," Lu Junze looked around the room, "Did you prepare another gift for me?"

"Then... Your Majesty, can you guess what I have prepared?"

"I guess..." Lu Junze scratched Gu Shijin's nose and said, "I guess it's an undershirt."

Gu Shijin pursed his lips and asked, "How did the emperor guess that?"

Lu Junze took a look at the half-revealed clothes and said, "Because Jin'er and I have a tacit understanding."

Gu Shijin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, took out his underwear from behind, stood up and gestured to Lu Junze.

"Your Majesty, please try it and see if it suits you. I think it is quite suitable." Gu Shijin said.

"it is good."

Lu Junze stood up, Gu Shijin helped him take off his coat, and then waited for Lu Junze to take off his clothes.

Don’t mention it, it was dark at night before and Gu Shijin had never seen clearly. But today, he saw that Lu Junze had a good figure, with long legs, broad chest, six-pack abs, strong and powerful muscles, and smooth muscle lines.

Tsk, even though he is so busy with government affairs every day, he still remembers to keep in good shape, Gu Shijin sighed inwardly.

"Does it look good?" Lu Junze asked, looking at Gu Shijin's lecherous expression.

Gu Shijin nodded and said, "It looks good."

After she finished speaking, she realized what was happening and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have behaved inappropriately."

Lu Junze pointed at Gu Shijin's hand helplessly and said, "Give me the clothes."

"Oh, oh oh."

The clothes made by Gu Shijin were just right and fit Lu Junze very well. They looked like they were tailor-made for him.

"I didn't expect Jin'er to know my size." Lu Junze nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Shijin blushed. Didn’t she often sleep with Lu Junze? She gradually found out.

"Your Majesty is teasing me again." Gu Shijin said.

In the afternoon, Gu Shijin and Lu Junze stayed in Ningyu Pavilion to read books. Gu Shijin had finished reading "Records of Great Xia", but the things in the book were rather one-sided, so Lu Junze told Gu Shijin about it again. After all, it was his own country, and Lu Junze knew it much more clearly than what was written in the book.

"Your Majesty, how do you know so much?" Gu Shijin asked curiously.

Doesn't the emperor usually stay in the capital? How come he knows so much about other places, and even knows the special snacks of those places?

Lu Junze: "Before I ascended the throne, I often left the capital to travel to various places, so I naturally know a lot more."

"Even the emperor cannot be trapped in one place forever, otherwise he will become stubborn. Only by personally understanding the needs of the people can he be a good monarch." Lu Junze said a few more words as they chatted.

Lu Junze’s biological mother was the first empress of the previous emperor. They were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. Unfortunately, she died when Lu Junze was three years old.

The current empress dowager is the successor of the late emperor, and the current concubine dowager once raised Lu Junze when he was a child for a period of time.

He was the legitimate son and was deeply loved by his father. He was secretly designated as the crown prince by his father at an early age, and his father never hid anything from him. Therefore, he knew from a very young age that he had the responsibility of a country on his shoulders and could not act willfully.

Even though he did not like these women in the harem, he still took them into the harem for the sake of balance in the previous dynasty.

Gu Shijin looked at Lu Junze with admiration in his eyes: "Your Majesty is really amazing."

How many emperors can do what Lu Junze said? But Lu Junze is actively doing it. He really cares about the people. In such a feudal era, it is a blessing for the people to meet such an emperor.

Lu Junze smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Compared to the emperor, he actually preferred to be an idle prince, observing the local customs and practices, drinking and having fun, rather than being trapped in the capital, trapped on that hard dragon throne.

However, since he is already the emperor, he must shoulder his responsibilities and not disappoint his father and mother.

Gu Shijin sensed that Lu Junze was in a low mood, so she said, "Your Majesty has worked hard. I will rub your shoulders for you."

"it is good."

Gu Shijin would never really rub his shoulders. She would just grab the flesh on his shoulders and squeeze it hard, making Lu Junze laugh and cry.

Lu Junze reached out and pulled Gu Shijin into his arms, saying, "Jin'er, I didn't realize you were still quite strong."

"That's right," Gu Shijin raised her head proudly and said, "When I was at home, I helped my mother with things in the capital."

"Jin'er should learn how to massage well." Lu Junze said.

"Okay, then when I have time I will learn from Xingyue. Xingyue is a very good massage expert." Gu Shijin said.

Lu Junze shook his head and held Gu Shijin's hand tightly: "No need to learn, Jin'er is fine the way she is now, do what you like."
