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

Chapter 139 Mother Gu and Second Sister Gu Enter the Palace

After the New Year, there were only two months left until Gu Shijin's due date.

That day, Lu Junze brought good news to Gu Shijin.

"Your Majesty, is this true? Is it okay?" Gu Shijin looked at Lu Junze happily.

Lu Junze told her that her mother could come to the palace to accompany her in childbirth tomorrow.

When a concubine becomes pregnant, her family can allow her mother to enter the palace to accompany her during childbirth, but that is usually done a month in advance and never so long in advance.

"Of course you can. You are pregnant with twins. If you let Madam Gu come to the palace to help you as soon as possible, I will feel at ease." Lu Junze said, touching Gu Shijin's hair.

Recently, Gu Shijin didn't tie her hair up unless she went out, but let it hang on her shoulders. Her hair was of good quality, long and smooth, and felt very comfortable to touch. Lu Junze especially liked to hold her in his arms and touch her long hair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shijin said.

Not only Lu Junze felt at ease, but Gu Shijin also felt at ease. Although those midwives were carefully selected by Lu Junze, they were still not as strong as his own family members.

The Gu family is simple and honest, and to them, their daughter is more important than anything else.

"Tell me anything you need, don't keep it in your heart." Lu Junze suddenly instructed.

"Concubine knows."

Although Lu Junze's words were somewhat irrelevant, he just had to agree to what the emperor said and there was no need to think too much about other things.

But don’t mention it, Gu Shijin really has something to say to Lu Junze.

"By the way, Your Majesty, one of the midwives is sick. I think her condition is quite serious and I will not let her go back. Let's change her for another midwife." Gu Shijin said.

Lu Junze frowned and said, “Are you sick? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

"What if you get infected?" Lu Junze asked worriedly.

"Your Majesty, it's okay. They don't live in the same place as my concubines." Gu Shijin consoled with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. It's really not suitable for me to live in Chenhua Palace when I'm sick."

Gu Shijin: "Your Majesty, how about waiting for my mother to enter the palace tomorrow and asking her if she has a reliable midwife?"

"That's fine." Lu Junze nodded, "If there's no suitable one, I'll ask someone to find one."

It is very easy for the emperor to find a midwife, but the important thing is that this person must be clean. Sometimes there are several people involved behind a person, and if you find one, you will miss the other. It is of course best to have someone you trust.

The next morning, Gu Shijin asked the people in the palace to make good preparations and clean up a house for her mother to live in.

"Xingyue, my mother eats light food, so please ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a pot of mutton soup." Gu Shijin ordered.

The weather is not as cold as it was some time ago, and it will not be appropriate to eat mutton soup hotpot after a while.

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, has mother's room been cleaned up?" Gu Shijin asked.

Xing Zhu smiled, helped Gu Shijin walk out, and said, "It has been cleaned up. It is next to the young lady. It is arranged according to the young lady's request."

Gu Shijin went over to take a look and nodded with satisfaction. Gu's mother had always been poor, and even though her father had become an official and the family had some money, they had always lived frugally. Gu Shijin was afraid that if the decoration was too luxurious, her mother would not be used to it.

"By the way, Xiao Linzi, go to the Imperial Hospital later and ask Doctor Song to get some sleeping pills. Mother has been sleeping restlessly in recent years. Make a sachet and put it beside her bed, and she will sleep better." Gu Shijin suddenly remembered what his elder brother Gu said.

After Huang Cairen fell into the water last time, Gu Shijin and Gu Chengfeng chatted for a while and learned that her mother had been worried ever since she became pregnant and often couldn't sleep.

Although it would be better if she came to the palace to see him now, it was better to change the place to rest, especially in the imperial palace, so Gu Shijin still wanted to prepare more so that his mother could sleep more peacefully.

"Yes, my lord."

Perhaps because he had come into contact with the Gu family, Gu Shijin now has some feelings for this family, not just because of the existence of his original body.

Gu Shijin thought that only his mother had entered the palace, but unexpectedly, she gave Gu Shijin a surprise.

Next to Gu's mother stood a woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a blue silk dress and a simple bun. She looked a little haggard, and there was some caution and fear in her eyes.

Gu Shijin knew who this person was in an instant, her second sister, Gu Shiyan.

only……

In the original body's memory, Gu Shiyan was a very beautiful woman. Why does she look so haggard now?

"Your humble servant pays respects to Jin Xiuyi." Mother Gu and Second Sister Gu bowed.

"Mom, second sister, please get up quickly." Gu Shijin went to help her with her big belly. "You are my dearest ones, don't worry about these things."

Mother Gu stood up, smiled, and said, "My lady, there are too many people and too many eyes."

Gu Shijin pursed his lips. He knew his mother's concerns and knew that this was all for his own good.

"Go and bring the stewed bird's nest." Gu Shijin ordered.

"Yes." Xingzhu smiled and pulled Xingyue back.

The young lady obviously has something on her mind to say to her family, and it's really in the way for them to just stand here.

"Mom, second sister, are you okay?" Gu Shijin asked with concern.

She had seen them during the Chinese New Year last year, and she hadn't seen them since then. This year she was pregnant, and Lu Junze didn't allow her to leave the palace because it was unsafe.

Mother Gu's eyes were red, and she kept nodding, "Okay, okay, our family is fine."

Seeing that Gu Shiyan didn't speak, Gu Shijin turned to look at her and said, "Second sister, what about you?"

"Is your brother-in-law treating you well? My little niece is already four years old, and I haven't even met her yet."

Gu Shiyan gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, "It's all good. The Zhao family is not a high-ranking official. Now my father and elder brother are both highly valued by the emperor, and you are so favored in the harem. They will definitely not bully your second sister."

Gu Shijin nodded with satisfaction. Her second sister was not the type to accept everything, so she thought she would not be bullied in the Zhao family.

"Second sister, I have prepared a lot of things for my niece. I originally wanted mother to send them to you. Now that you have entered the palace, you can take them back to my niece yourself." Gu Shijin was a little excited and grabbed Gu Shiyan's arm.

"Forehead……"

But she didn't expect to be grabbed by Gu Shijin like this. Gu Shiyan groaned immediately. Gu Shijin knew that he didn't use much force and it shouldn't have happened.

Gu Shijin frowned and asked, "Second sister, are you injured?"

Obviously, Gu's mother didn't know about this either. When she heard Gu Shijin ask this, she immediately turned to look at Gu Shiyan.

Seeing that it was obvious that she couldn't hide it, Gu Shiyan smiled and said, "I accidentally fell at home yesterday and broke my arm."

Mother Gu's eyes flashed with a trace of distress, and she said, "Why are you so careless? Let me see."

As she said this, Mother Gu was about to pull Gu Shiyan's arm to check.

Gu Shiyan dodged for a moment, "Mom, it's really okay, I've already seen a doctor."

Gu Shijin noticed something different and said, "Second sister, let's take a look. If it's serious, I'll call the imperial physician to take a look."
