Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Nian Nian and Sui Sui are both 8 years old. They have their own interests and hobbies and do not need their parents' attention most of the time.

Gu Jiaorong is actually much freer than in previous years.

Therefore, Pei Xu has been pestering Gu Jiaorong recently, wanting to have another child.

Nian Nian and Sui Sui had no objection to this matter.

They have grown up in love, and since they are not the only child, they naturally don't worry about having a younger brother or sister who will take away their parents' love.

Sui Sui even has some expectations.

Because she always calls him brother, but no one calls her sister.

But Gu Jiaorong was a little hesitant, even though she had a relatively smooth time giving birth to twins, and her current conditions were definitely better than before.

After all, they were still in Jinzhou City at that time, and she had just finished her confinement when she rushed back to the capital with her two children.

However, the long pregnancy prevented her from doing many of the things she wanted to do, and she also had to avoid certain foods.

Gu Jiaorong didn't mind raising another child since her family could afford it anyway, but she felt a little embarrassed when asked to avoid certain foods.

After Pei Xu knew her reason, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"If you're afraid and think giving birth is dangerous, I won't really force you to give birth. But just because of dietary restrictions... Madam, your excuse is probably the most simple one in the world."

Pei Xu hugged her and kissed her, feeling quite happy.

"It's just that there are some things you can't eat. Now we are in the palace, with so many imperial chefs waiting for us, do you think you will still be short of food?"

What Pei Xu said was true. They were now in the imperial city, not in Jinzhou City. At that time, there was a famine in Jinzhou City, so they could not eat anything they wanted. But Gu Jiaorong remembered that time.

"Then I'll think about it again."

Gu Jiaorong relaxed, but did not agree immediately.

To be honest, she has no experience in preparing for pregnancy.

When she was pregnant, she used feeling unwell as an excuse, but unexpectedly, a pulse diagnosis revealed that she was pregnant.

If we want to have another child this time, we must make good preparations.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you no matter what. Just nod and agree."

Pei Xu was very serious this time. He was not like last time, where he just had an idea and then did it in a confused manner.

He had asked Chu Fenghua in advance. They were still young, so having a baby now was not difficult. Besides, Gu Jiaorong had already given birth to one child, so it would be much easier to have a second one.

In addition, Chu Fenghua has had nothing to do in recent years, so she has also studied gynecology.

When Gu Jiaorong gives birth to another child this time, he will definitely take better care of her than last time.

Of course, he didn't tell Gu Jiaorong about these things, as if he was forcing her to give birth, but he was not in the position to do so.

But when Pei Xu came to him, he generously showed him the results of his research over the years.

"Really? I don't need to worry about anything."

Gu Jiaorong blinked her eyes. She no longer hated children, nor was she afraid of not being able to raise them or raising them poorly. Just looking at the years going by, she knew that Pei Xu was very good at educating children.

Just like Pei Xu said, as long as she gave birth to the baby, she would not have to worry about anything else, but as a mother, how could she really not care at all?

She just felt that having children was a big deal, and she was a bit careless when she gave birth to Niannian and Suisui. Now she had to be serious and responsible.

"This is natural, just like every year. After the child is born, I will be responsible for taking care of him. Even if I really don't have time, Shaoyao and the others are here."

When Pei Xu mentioned Shaoyao, Gu Jiaorong recalled that they were only in their teens when they followed him, but they are not young anymore. In fact, they should have left the palace and got married long ago, but they were nostalgic and refused to leave.

"Your Majesty, you always think about yourself. Why don't you think about Shaoyao and the others? They are not young anymore and still haven't started a family. Are you going to keep delaying them?"

Gu Jiaorong knew that people in this era had almost no desire to not get married.

Especially for a palace maid like Shaoyao, it is acceptable for her to marry an official.

No matter how careful Pei Xu was, it was impossible for him to take care of everyone around Gu Jiaorong, so when he heard this, he was really stunned.

"I haven't thought about that."

However, they were not the only ones who had old people like Shaoyao who came from the palace to use, it was just that Shaoyao was more convenient to use.

"Then let's ask Shaoyao what she thinks. If she wants to leave the palace and get married, I will naturally support her and either give her a dowry or arrange a good marriage for her."

The emperor arranged the marriage, and the girl was the head maid of the empress. Not to mention an ordinary minor official, even those with some family background, who were interested in the long term, would ask for her hand in marriage.

Gu Jiaorong thought about it carefully and felt that Pei Xu should not bring up this matter.

"I'd better ask in private. If you ask, Shaoyao might think too much."

In Pei Xu's opinion, it didn't matter who spoke up, but Gu Jiaorong was right. If he spoke up, Shaoyao would definitely think that he wanted to get rid of Gu Jiaorong's confidants, which would be a big misunderstanding.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Rong'er."

Pei Xu leaned over to get close to her, but she pushed him away.

"The children should be back soon, Your Majesty, please pay attention."

Gu Jiaorong is still very careful in front of the children.

Pei Xu knew that she was shy and felt embarrassed in front of the children, so he didn't force her to be close.

"Then Rong'er, you have to make it up to me tonight. You've been spending time with the kids these past few days and have neglected me."

Pei Xu sounded aggrieved and pitiful, as if he had been banished to the cold palace by Gu Jiaorong.

But Gu Jiaorong remained unmoved.

The two have been together for so long that Gu Jiaorong already knows him very well.

Seeing that Gu Jiaorong didn't respond to him, Pei Xu felt even more aggrieved. He even clung to her and asked, "Why is Rong'er ignoring me? Is it because I, your husband, am no longer worthy of Rong'er's attention?"

"Even if I don't agree, won't Your Majesty ask for it himself?"

Gu Jiaorong looked at him with a mixture of anger and blame, with a smile hidden in her eyes.

Although so many years have passed, Pei Xu's face is still very handsome, and he is in his prime.

Gu Jiaorong felt that she was hopeless because of her obsession with looks. As long as Pei Xu didn't disfigure herself, she would always fall for him.

What's more, Pei Xu has become more and more relaxed in recent years, and he would act coquettishly with her from time to time, leaving her helpless.

"But I still hope Rong'er can agree to me."

Pei Xu looked at Gu Jiaorong with a burning gaze. His voice was a little hoarse and low, but it was particularly irritating to Gu Jiaorong's ears.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't stand his look like this, so she could only sigh and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I promise you."

She knew that if she didn't agree to Pei Xu, he would not let it go.

Seeing that the children were about to come back, she couldn't continue to quarrel with Pei Xu.
