Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Pei Xu had lunch and left.

He now works in the Dali Temple and has heavy responsibilities. Even if it is a day off, he has to go if there is work to do.

Gu Jiaorong looked at his hurried back and couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to be a salted fish."

She collapsed on the recliner, touched a piece of dessert, ate it slowly, drank tea, and secretly prayed that the King Pei Xu would not come tonight.

After all, no matter how many days you work, you'll get the same salary...

A true salted fish must have the courage to refuse to work overtime!

Gu Jiaorong closed her eyes comfortably and began to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

When the weather gets hotter in a few days, she won't be able to bask in the sun like this.

But Yueyan was unable to lie down with her. After Pei Xu left, the people arranged by Fuan to serve her came.

In addition to the two maids, Pei Xu also gave her a lot of rewards.

Gu Jiaorong regarded this as compensation for working overtime in the morning. After all, Pei Xu was too hardworking. Even though she did not suffer a work-related injury this time, she suffered great psychological damage.

However, what made her even more curious was why Xie Wanning didn't come to bring her contraceptive soup.

Although the contraceptive soup may not be useful, it is really important to Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong didn't want to get pregnant and have a child. She couldn't even guarantee her own life at the moment. If she had another child, she didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

Feudal society is a cannibalistic place.

Even if the child's father is Pei Xu, he may not be able to live a peaceful life.

After all, Pei Xu can have many children, but children only have one pair of parents.

Gu Jiaorong sighed, sometimes not having a child is also a kind act.

But the prince and princess refused to give her contraceptive soup, so she, a little concubine, couldn't get it.

Offspring were very important to the ancients.

Even if they are illegitimate children, they are still the prince's bloodline.

Yueyan put away the things given by the prince, and then brought a plate of plums to Gu Jiaorong.

"My aunt is favored now, why are you sighing?"

Now that they are no longer just master and servant in the yard, Yueyan has become more obedient.

Gu Jiaorong felt bored, but she also knew that she might not even be able to protect herself, so she naturally couldn't ask Yueyan to be as casual as her.

"Nothing, I just think this tea doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. Now that there were other people around, she subconsciously restrained her words.

Although she is a nobody, Gu Jiaorong is not completely brainless.

If Gu Jiaorong wants to live, she must abide by the rules.

Even though Pei Xu seems to dote on her now, no one can tell how long such doting can last.

Yue Yan didn't know that Gu Jiaorong had thought so much, so she smiled and said, "Then I will pour some hot tea for you, Auntie. Please wait a moment."

Gu Jiaorong nodded lazily without saying anything more.

She looked up at the gorgeous flowers blooming in the yard, and her beautiful eyes became deep.

When people leave, the tea gets cold. This refers to both the tea and the people.

.

Gu Jiaorong's yard was more lively than before, which made Shen Zhaohua's residence look desolate.

Even though Gu Jiaorong didn't think this was a good thing.

But Shen Zhaohua was already extremely jealous.

"Pei Xu is really amazing. She walked from my place and entered her yard right after."

Shen Zhaohua clutched the handkerchief tightly and said through gritted teeth.

"What's so good about that bitch? He'd rather go to her place. I already gave in last night. If he opens his mouth, I'll give it to him."

She has now integrated into this place and has forgotten what she looked like when she first came here.

Furong lowered her eyes and stood behind her.

When Shen Zhaohua first came into the mansion, he was much more lively and cheerful than he is now.

At first glance, she is a bright and beautiful woman.

She had not been influenced by the disciplines of the times and did not follow the rules, which made Furong feel fresh.

But this novelty was soon replaced by weirdness.

Shen Zhaohua exudes an aura that is incompatible with this era. She always naively believes that as long as she wants and is willing, the world will revolve around her.

She always forgets that the lover she is talking about is a prince who is above all others, a nobleman who holds the power of life and death, not a young boy who plays house with her. Therefore, her demand for a lifelong couple is even more of a joke.

Furong didn't know how to persuade her because she was always contradictory. She advocated equality for all and the supremacy of love, but she also arrogantly put herself above everyone else.

Shen Zhaohua became even angrier when she saw Furong ignoring her.

"I know she once served Pei Xu with you. You have known each other longer than I have, and your friendship is deeper, so you help her in every way."

Shen Zhaohua snorted and laughed, his tone still arrogant.

"But don't forget, Pei Xu gave you to me. You are my maid and can only be loyal to me."

In Shen Zhaohua's heart, Furong was no different from an object.

Furong felt that the equality she spoke of was more like a joke.

"Miss, although both I and Aunt Gu have worked in the prince's courtyard, I have no friendship with Aunt Gu."

What Furong said was true. Gu Jiaorong was the maid that the old princess gave to the prince. She was different from them after all.

Even if the prince had not touched Gu Jiaorong at that time, as long as she stayed with the prince for one day, there was a possibility that she would become his master in the future.

Even if there were maids with outstanding looks who were jealous of Gu Jiaorong, they only dared to do some small things to hinder her in secret.

Gu Jiaorong has a gentle personality and never complains even when she is bullied.

Although Furong didn't have much contact with her, she had heard of her, so she couldn't understand why Miss Shen disliked Gu Jiaorong.

Although they were slaves, they posed no threat to the nobles.

Even though Gu Jiaorong was favored, she kept to herself and never provoked Shen Zhaohua.

But Shen Zhaohua didn't talk about these things. She couldn't stand the system of feudal society, and she also felt that Pei Xu should only love her like the male protagonist in the novel.

In Shen Zhaohua's understanding, she had transmigrated into a sweet novel. Putting aside the complicated social environment, the male protagonist should remain chaste for her and love only her.

And Pei Xu did so in the early days, complying with everything.

It was Gu Jiaorong who broke it all.

Shen Zhaohua blamed all his dissatisfaction on Gu Jiaorong and hated her for stealing his lover's heart.

Even though Pei Xu told her many reasons why he had no choice.

"Gu Jiaorong is definitely not someone without means."

Shen Zhaohua had already made this judgment after meeting Gu Jiaorong once.

After all, even Xie Wanning would give her some respect after seeing her.

But Gu Jiaorong treated her as if she were air and remained unmoved no matter what she said.

If Furong knew what she was thinking, she would probably say that it was because two love-brained people met each other, so they naturally knew how to hurt each other.

But Gu Jiaorong doesn't love the prince.

She was given to the prince by the old princess and then promoted to a concubine by the princess.

From beginning to end, no one asked for her opinion.

Just like how Shen Zhaohua viewed Furong, in the eyes of the masters, Gu Jiaorong was no different from an object.
