Chapter 220 Garlic Flavor
Concubine Rong did not stay in Chengqian Palace for long. She picked up the eldest prince and left.
Maybe Concubine Rong had other ideas when she sent the eldest prince to Chengqian Palace at the beginning, such as to meet Lu Junze and seduce him, but after being swayed by Lu Junze's actions, Gu Shijin saw that Concubine Rong was left with only anger in her heart.
Ever since several princes and princesses moved into Xiefang Palace, the emperor rarely set foot in their mother's palace. Lu Junze always went to Xiefang Palace to find them, so it was normal for Concubine Rong to have some thoughts.
"Did the emperor do that on purpose just now?" Gu Shijin asked.
Lu Junze pinched Gu Shijin's nose and said, "Not really. I really didn't know that the eldest prince came to Chengqian Palace. I only knew that Ajin and Ayuan were coming. As soon as I heard the news, I went to Fengyi Palace."
Gu Shijin nodded.
"We have to thank Jin'er for this." Lu Junze said. If Gu Shijin hadn't been smart and had someone send the little eunuch here, he might have been lost or killed by the person behind the scenes. It is very easy to hide someone in such a big palace.
Lu Junze didn't believe that what Huazi said in Fengyi Palace today was true. It was obvious that the words were prepared in advance.
"It's just a coincidence." Gu Shijin said.
Gu Shijin asked the little Linzi to go in and check. At first, no one was seen. As a result, the little eunuch came back to look for the pendant and was caught by the little Linzi.
Xiao Linzi had been with Gu Shijin for a long time and was very smart. He did not take the man out with him, but hid first. After going out, he winked at Gu Shijin. As they had been working together for several years, Gu Shijin knew what it meant at a glance, so he asked Xingzhu to send the little eunuch over when he sent Ajin and Ayuan to Chengqian Palace.
Gu Shijin: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with that eunuch?"
Since Lu Junze did not execute the queen immediately, she must still be useful.
"Well, that eunuch is not Wenpin's man, but the one given to Wenpin by the Concubine Dowager." Lu Junze did not hide it.
"Ah?" No wonder Wenpin was not anxious at all in Fengyi Palace just now. It turned out that that person was not hers. However, the imperial concubine was Wenpin's aunt, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was not very harmonious.
Lu Junze: "Princess Wen doesn't have as many thoughts as the Concubine Dowager. What she wants is very simple. She just wants to get pregnant and become the Queen."
Gu Shijin's mouth twitched. This is not a lot of thoughts. However, all the women in the harem may want to be queens, except for two people.
Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, these two people's hearts are not on Lu Junze.
As for Gu Shijin, haha, there would be nothing wrong if she had the chance to be the queen. With a higher status, she would be able to better protect her children.
Thinking of this, Gu Shijin curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, but this was obviously unlikely, as the current queen was still sitting firmly on the throne.
"What are you thinking about so intently?" Lu Junze suddenly asked.
Gu Shijin was immersed in his own thoughts and did not react for a moment. He said, "Thinking of the Queen..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Shijin reacted and patted his chest in fear. Fortunately, the car was braked.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about what the Queen said today, I always feel that the Queen knows something." Gu Shijin said.
The matter was resolved very smoothly today. Huazi told everything clearly as soon as he was caught, and the Queen believed him very much. But when he asked Lu Junze at the end, he felt that Lu Junze would definitely not kill Huazi.
When Lu Junze heard Gu Shijin's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "After all, she is the queen, so it's not surprising that she knows some things."
Gu Shijin nodded, agreeing with what was said. Now that the Queen Mother was not in charge, the Queen was the boss of the harem. She had been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she should know some news better.
Gu Shijin was not curious about these things. He just mentioned them to change the subject. After chatting for a few sentences, he stopped talking about them and looked at his two sons.
Probably because they were full, the two kids were a little drowsy now. Even though their favorite toys and puzzles were placed on the bed, they could not attract their attention, especially the Fourth Prince, who kept nodding his head.
"Ayuan is very energetic every day, and it's rare for him to feel so sleepy." Lu Junze said with a smile when he saw the Fourth Prince's expression.
Lu Junze can be said to care and love these two children enough. He basically goes to see them every day and can't let go of them. Lu Junze especially likes the fourth prince. He thinks he is very lively and has the nature of a child.
When Lu Junze's first few children were born, he was either still a prince or had just ascended the throne. All aspects were unstable and he had a lot of things to do every day. He did not have as much free time to accompany his children as he does now, so he missed the children's growth.
Lu Junze has devoted enough time and patience to these two children.
However, Lu Junze is now very concerned about the eldest prince, the eldest princess, the second prince, the second princess, and the third princess. He visits them every two or three days, plays with them, or teaches them to read and learn. Generally speaking, Lu Junze is a very competent father.
"Yeah, it's Ajin who looks more energetic." Gu Shijin stepped forward and held the third prince in his arms, while Lu Junze reached out and picked up the fourth prince.
Lu Junze was quite good at holding and coaxing children, and soon the two children fell asleep completely. The two of them handed the children over to the maids.
"The porridge has been eaten. I asked the kitchen to prepare some maocai for you. Would you like to have some?" Lu Junze said with a smile.
Gu Shijin also taught the imperial chef in the small kitchen how to make this maocai, and he would order it every time he came to Chengqian Palace for dinner.
Gu Shijin swallowed her saliva after eating some maocai. She had been feeling unwell recently, and Song Jibai restricted her diet. There were many things she couldn't eat, and she hadn't eaten maocai for a long time.
But she was not alone now, so Gu Shijin still asked, "Can I eat it?"
"Song Jibai said it's okay to eat less."
"Okay, then eat less."
In order to take care of Gu Shijin's health, the spicy hot pot made in the small kitchen today was not particularly spicy, but it was full of garlic flavor.
After taking a bite, Gu Shijin's eyes lit up and he asked, "Your Majesty, is this the taste that the kitchen developed itself?"
Lu Junze also tasted it and found it was indeed different from the previous ones. He nodded: "It should be."
"This chef is really good." Gu Shijin exclaimed. She had never taught the chefs in the palace how to make garlic-flavored food, but she didn't expect that they had figured it out on their own first.
"They do this every day, so it's not surprising that they can figure it out. But Jin'er likes it so much," Lu Junze looked at Su Deyuan, "reward."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Shijin smiled a little embarrassedly. This thing tasted really good, but the taste in the mouth was a bit strong after eating it for a while. I wonder if Lu Junze can stand it.
