Pei Xu was not surprised when he learned that Shen Zhaohua asked Furong to pass on the message.

He played with the golden hairpin in his hand with an indifferent expression, which was very different from the Pei Xu in Shen Zhaohua's memory.

If Pei Xu had no brothers, even if Shen Zhaohua met him face to face, he would not dare to recognize that this person was Pei Xu.

"Since she wants to see me, then let her see me."

After a long while, Pei Xu sneered.

"I also want to see if she has anything special, or if she can come up with something more useful in exchange."

For Pei Xu, the game of love is more like a game of exchanging interests.

How could someone like Pei Xu be gentle?

It was simply because Shen Zhaohua had what he wanted, and what Shen Zhaohua wanted was a gentle and powerful nobleman.

Pei Xu happened to have such an identity, so of course he had to make full use of it.

Is there any identity better than that of a prince?

Maybe there is, but the current emperor is already an old man, and I'm afraid it doesn't meet Shen Zhaohua's aesthetic standards.

Pei Xu felt that this was a God-given opportunity. He only needed to spend a little time and false emotions to get tangible benefits.

"Your Majesty, if not, how should Miss Shen be accommodated?"

Fu'an asked cautiously. He didn't think the prince would let Shen Zhaohua leave. After all, letting such a person leave would be burying hidden dangers for himself.

Shen Zhaohua might not get the love he wants and might also lose his freedom.

"I think she's living well in the harem, and the palace hasn't treated a distinguished guest like her badly. Let her stay for a while longer, and the princess won't get bored."

Pei Xu curled his lips. With Shen Zhaohua, Xie Wanning had no time to bother him. It was a win-win situation.

"Then Aunt Gu..."

Fuan knew better than anyone that Aunt Gu was the only one in the harem who truly enjoyed the prince's favor.

No matter how sincere this favor is, Aunt Gu is always different.

"Send two secret guards to guard her yard, so she won't be frightened."

When mentioning Gu Jiaorong, Pei Xu's mind immediately appeared her voice, appearance and smile.

Gu Jiaorong is a person without ambition. She only knows how to eat and drink all day long. When he wakes her up in the morning, she looks a bit spoiled and cute.

Pei Xu has not lost interest in her at the moment, and naturally hopes that she is well.

"Yes, I will make arrangements right now."

Fu An nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "This morning, Chunzhi, who was beside the princess, brought contraceptive soup to Aunt Gu."

"She drank it?"

Pei Xu's dark eyes were gloomy, as if hiding a terrifying emotion.

"Drink it. Yueyan can't stop Chunzhi. Aunt Gu probably doesn't want to cause trouble."

Fuan subconsciously said something good for Gu Jiaorong.

"When we get back, assign two more people to serve her. The girl next to her is useless. She's okay to play with her."

Although Pei Xu had no expression when he said this, Fuan knew that he was not angry.

"Yes."

Fu'an was thinking about which maid would be more suitable for Gu Jiaorong when he heard Pei Xu's words.

"Go buy her a pot of apricot blossom wine and send it to her yard. I'm going to see Shen Zhaohua."

There is no need to think too much about who this woman is, it can only be Gu Jiaorong.

.

When Fu An came to bring apricot blossom wine to Gu Jiaorong, Gu Jiaorong was arranging flowers in the yard.

Today she was not lazy for a long time, and took Yueyan to the yard to pick a lot of flower branches.

After all, Pei Xu had promised in person that he would bring her apricot blossom wine.

Gu Jiaorong thought about good wine and delicious food, as well as handsome men to please the eyes, and there must be some romance.

In the end, the handsome man did not come, but only came to Fu'an to deliver wine.

"Madam Gu, the prince has something to attend to today and cannot accompany you for dinner. He specially asked me to bring you some apricot blossom wine."

Fuan's attitude was respectful, as if he really treated her as his master.

Gu Jiaorong ignored the small disappointment in her heart and said to Fu An with a smile, "Boss Fu, you are too polite. Please take the trouble to bring me some wine. I don't have anything good here. Yue Yan and I arranged some flowers. You can pick a bouquet to take back."

Fu'an didn't dare to take Gu Jiaorong's flowers. If the prince knew about it, he would be skinned alive.

"Mrs. Gu is so thoughtful. I will pick a bouquet of flowers for the prince. He will surely be very happy when he sees it."

Fu'an did not want to offend Gu Jiaorong, but changed his words.

Gu Jiaorong also understood the meaning of the words.

She was a little too relaxed and forgot that in ancient times men and women were not allowed to give things to each other. There was a hint of guilt in her eyes when she looked at Fu'an. She almost hurt Fu'an.

Sure enough, even though she had lived here for a long time, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the place.

In the past, she always hid herself away and tried not to communicate too much with others. Even if she was bullied, she would endure it and never made any big mistakes.

It wasn't until today that she felt real again.

Pei Xu now feels new and fresh about her and is willing to indulge her in many things, but that doesn't mean she can really relax around Pei Xu.

If she's not careful, she'll hurt others and herself.

Gu Jiaorong was still frightened, but luckily there was still time.

"Then I'll trouble you, Steward Fu, to deliver the flowers to the prince on my behalf. I don't know if the prince has any taboos. If the prince doesn't like them, Steward Fu can just throw them away."

Gu Jiaorong smiled and continued speaking along with Fuan's words.

Fuan felt that the prince would definitely like it, after all, this was the first time Aunt Gu gave him a gift.

"Don't worry, Aunt Gu. The prince has you in his heart, and he will naturally like the things you give him."

Fu'an was a talkative man. He told Gu Jiaorong that he would assign two more maids to serve her, and then left with the gifts for the prince.

At this time, Pei Xu was striding into Shen Zhaohua's yard.

"Pei Xu, you finally came to see me. Do you know that I really missed you, but Furong always said you were busy."

Shen Zhaohua greeted Pei Xu with a smile, without mentioning at all that he had spent the night at Gu Jiaorong's house, as if Gu Jiaorong did not exist.

Pei Xu said "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Shen Zhaohua's eyes darkened, but he didn't lose his temper.

If it were in the past, she would have lost her temper and asked Pei Xu to coax her.

"Are all your subordinates just there to eat and work? Why do you have to be so busy? You've lost weight after not seeing you for so long."

Shen Zhaohua reached out to touch his face, but Pei Xu dodged it without a trace.

"Pei Xu, are you still angry with me?"

Shen Zhaohua looked at Pei Xu with loss and anxiety. She really couldn't accept the result of losing Pei Xu.

After all, she has paid so much.

"I know I'm a little possessive of you, but you promised me that you wouldn't marry anyone else. You're mine alone."

Whenever Shen Zhaohua thought about her beloved man sleeping in the same bed with another woman, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

No one can accept such a thing.
