Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

During the following period of time, Pei Xu became busy as he said.

Gu Jiaorong was taken care of attentively by Shaoyao and others. It was July now and the weather was still very hot. She was just hoping for a rain to cool down the temperature so that she could walk around in the evening.

"My aunt is feeling bored, so how about I tell you some recent news to cheer you up?"

Yueyan spoke with a smile. She was a heartless person and never paid attention to any changes in the palace.

Gu Jiaorong had nothing else to do to pass the time, so she let her chatter in her ear.

"Auntie, you went to the Qiqiao Feast with the prince yesterday. I didn't know that something happened in the Wang family. The third daughter of the Wang family, Wang Sirou, not only had an affair with a man from outside the family, but she also seems to be pregnant."

Yue Yan lowered her voice, her round almond-shaped eyes rolling around, looking a bit furtive.

Just then, Shaoyao came over with some candied dried fruits, placed them in front of Gu Jiaorong, and teased her with a smile.

"Why are you being so cautious in your own home? It doesn't seem like you're telling a story, it seems like you're plotting something behind someone's back."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yan immediately retorted, "I'm not making this up. Go out and ask around. It's all spread throughout the aristocratic circles of the capital. Besides, this concerns the young lady's reputation. How dare I make up such stories? Now, the third young lady has no choice but to marry this man."

Wang Sirou has always been interested in Pei Xu, and Gu Jiaorong didn't expect to hear gossip about her today.

Logically speaking, with Pei Xu as her target, she should not have a secret meeting with a man. Otherwise, if she really gets involved with Pei Xu in the future, and the matter is exposed, no one will be able to escape punishment.

Unless, Wang Sirou was being plotted against, or she had already given up on Pei Xu.

None of this had anything to do with Gu Jiaorong, she was just listening for fun.

"Don't be impatient. I'm not saying you're talking nonsense. I just found you being so cautious and thought it was funny, so I teased you."

Shaoyao raised her head and rubbed her head, then said with a smile, "But this Miss Wang you mentioned, I've seen her a few times when I accompanied my aunt to banquets. She has some friendship with Miss Xu, but her family background is ordinary, and her father favors his concubine over his wife. I'm sure she's not having a happy life. If she's really caught having an affair with a man, her fate may not be good."

Thinking about how Wang Sirou had intentionally made things difficult for Gu Jiaorong that day, she felt that Wang Sirou was nothing to be pitied.

"If that's the case, Miss Wang San is in a very bad situation."

Yueyan sighed. She loved to watch the fun, but as a woman, she didn't want Wang Sirou to end up in such a miserable situation.

"You are quite sentimental, little girl. Don't bother with her. We have our own affairs to take care of."

Shaoyao raised her hand and tapped her forehead, her tone sounding a little angry.

Although Yueyan felt that Shaoyao was a little cold, she also felt that there was some truth in her. The most important thing at the moment was to entertain her aunt.

"Auntie, let me tell you something else."

……

Gu Jiaorong felt much more relaxed with the company of the maids.

The smile on her face did not fade until Pei Xu came back.

"Rong'er is so happy when I'm not around?"

Pei Xu has been very busy these days. He finally found some time and came back early to see Jiaorong.

He lifted Gu Jiaorong's chin and kissed her without waiting for her reply.

Suddenly, their breaths intertwined, and Gu Jiaorong's delicate lips became his place of conquest.

Gu Jiaorong was no match for him in this matter, and could only raise her arms weakly to hug him, so as not to lose her strength and fall. Pei Xu was very satisfied with her reaction and kissed her until she was breathless and even her eyes were filled with tears.

"Rong'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"

Pei Xu put his forehead against hers and asked softly in her ear.

He has been thinking about Gu Jiaorong every day these days. If he could leave, he would come back every night to sleep beside her.

Gu Jiaorong leaned against him and whispered, "I know His Majesty has a lot to do and is too busy to handle everything. Even if I miss you, I won't disturb you. My child and I will wait for you to come back."

She spoke in a sweet voice, and looked particularly delicate.

Just like she said before, now she only has Pei Xu to rely on, and she knows that he has important things to do, so she will never disturb him easily.

After all, if something went wrong with Pei Xu, she and her child would die.

"Just bear with it for a while, it will be fine after a while."

A gloomy light flashed in Pei Xu's eyes. After he finished his work, he would be able to stay with Gu Jiaorong and the child until the baby was born. He also didn't want to be away from them for several days like now.

"I'm not feeling unwell. Shaoyao and the others took good care of me. Your Highness, don't worry about me. Just focus on handling your official duties."

Gu Jiaorong nodded, still secretly reminding him not to care about temporary love.

Although Gu Jiaorong said this every time, he felt much more at ease as long as he heard her voice.

"okay, I get it."

Pei Xu didn't want to talk about those unhappy things anymore, so he placed his hot palm on Gu Jiaorong's lower abdomen.

"I heard that the fetus will move when it gets older. When will it say hello to us?"

Pei Xu had been looking forward to having a child from the very beginning. When he learned that Gu Jiaorong was pregnant, he was extremely happy.

Now he is even more looking forward to this child, but he can't help but feel guilty towards the child. The situation is turbulent now, and this child has been targeted before he is even born. After he is born, he doesn't know how many dangers he will experience.

Pei Xu would never allow anyone to harm his child. He thought to himself, "I need to make more preparations."

Gu Jiaorong didn't know that he had thought so much in the meantime, and she smiled and placed her hand on his big palm.

"Your Highness is too impatient. It's only three months old, how can it move? It will take at least four months for it to react."

This was also Gu Jiaorong's first time giving birth, so she didn't know much about it and her tone was uncertain.

Pei Xu knew he was anxious, but he couldn't control himself.

"I'll ask Chu Fenghua about it later, and by the way, I'll also ask about your current situation. Although you've stopped vomiting and your weight has slowly grown back, you're still too thin. I'm afraid that when you're a little older, your body won't be able to handle it."

As Pei Xu spoke, he touched her waist, as if he was really measuring her size.

"Your Highness, please don't bother Dr. Chu. Shaoyao has already asked him to examine me. I'm in very good condition now, but I'll slowly gain weight. By then, I'm afraid Your Highness will dislike me."

Gu Jiaorong really had such doubts. After all, they didn't have any serious communication at the beginning, and they just stayed in bed.

She always remembers the truth that love fades with beauty.

Even if Pei Xu doesn't have anyone else around him now, there's no guarantee that there won't be someone else around him in the future.

"How could that be? In my eyes, Rong'er is beautiful no matter what."

Pei Xu grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it gently.
