Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong withdrew her gaze and continued to put on her human pendant.

Pei Xu lowered his eyes to look at her, a light flashed in his eyes, as if there were thousands of words that turned into a sigh.

He knew exactly what Gu Jiaorong was asking, but he couldn't answer.

He could satisfy Gu Jiaorong in many ways, but there was one thing he could not easily promise or be perfunctory about.

Once you open your mouth, everything changes.

Gu Jiaorong and Shen Zhaohua are different. Pei Xu thinks they are fine the way they are.

"Are you hungry after sleeping for so long?"

Pei Xu looked at Gu Jiaorong's rosy little face and asked in a hoarse voice.

As soon as Gu Jiaorong nodded, she saw Fu'an looking down at the ground. Her cheeks suddenly turned red and she pushed Pei Xu slightly.

"Your Majesty, please let me go."

She was half asleep just now and didn't notice that there was someone there. Now that she saw him, she no longer had the nerve to stay with Pei Xu.

It seems weird and improper.

The more Gu Jiaorong thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground.

Pei Xu knew that she was shy, so he let go of Gu Jiaorong and waved his hand to tell Fu An to go down.

Fu'an understood what Pei Xu meant, and left quietly without saying a word.

"Why didn't Your Majesty remind me just now?"

Gu Jiaorong pouted, her face full of shyness, not like complaining, but like acting coquettishly.

"Now that everyone knows what I am like... I'm afraid the palace will spread rumors that I've seduced the prince and kept flirting with him all day long. How can I face people in the future?"

Gu Jiaorong actually doesn't care much about her reputation, but she doesn't want such words to reach the ears of Xie Wanning and Shen Zhaohua.

Xie Wanning may not be easier to deal with than Shen Zhaohua. Although she has never attacked Gu Jiaorong, Shen Zhaohua comes to her to make trouble every time, which must be what Xie Wanning wants to see.

"What are you afraid of? Others who want to seduce me don't have the ability that Rong'er has."

Pei Xu lifted Gu Jiaorong's chin and smiled.

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Pei Xu with tenderness in her eyes.

"If Your Majesty is unwilling, I cannot do it."

Gu Jiaorong always understood that everything she had was given by Pei Xuken.

If Pei Xu had not tacitly agreed, even if she used all her means, she would not have been able to leave any trace in Pei Xu's heart.

Gu Jiaorong is very self-aware and has never really become arrogant because of her favor.

She always knows her limits.

And Pei Xu obviously also liked her sense of propriety.

So he raised his hand and scratched the tip of Gu Jiaorong's nose, and said in a doting tone: "Didn't you say you were hungry just now? Let's go eat."

Gu Jiaorong also nodded obediently. After all, there was no point in beating around the bush with Pei Xu. It would be better to eat a few more bites of meat.

She hadn't seen Pei Xu for a few days, and although her meals were not bland, they were not as sumptuous as when Pei Xu was around.

After all, the treatment of a prince is naturally different from that of a concubine.

Gu Jiaorong did not feel aggrieved. Compared with other noble families, it was a good thing that they did not have to pay their respects to the princess.

Although the real reason was that Xie Wanning didn't want to see them.

Fu'an was a very perceptive and well-organized person. Soon Gu Jiaorong sat down at the dinner table and had no time to think about anything else.

The sky is the biggest, eating is the biggest!

Gu Jiaorong enjoyed the food with a look of satisfaction. The chef in the palace was very skilled, and even a dish of blanched vegetables tasted delicious.

Pei Xu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips when he saw her acting like a greedy cat, but he didn't say anything.

Pei Xu spoke slowly only after the food was cleared away.

"I heard that Shen Zhaohua came to see you twice."

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as Gu Jiaorong was mentioned, she felt aggrieved.

"Your Highness, how dare you say that? You've caused me such a romantic debt, yet you're putting me in such a difficult position."

Gu Jiaorong was not really complaining. She also knew that Shen Zhaohua was still Pei Xu's true love, even though they had already experienced a relationship crisis. How could she, a mere concubine, expect such true love?

"Miss Shen must have misunderstood the prince. She kept telling me her love for him. It was so heartfelt and touching that I was moved."

Gu Jiaorong lied with her eyes open, and not only was she not moved, she felt annoyed.

She was clearly just a cannon fodder, but Shen Zhaohua always blamed her for snatching Pei Xu away. The one who successfully snatched Pei Xu away was not her, but the princess.

Besides, it can’t be considered as stealing the princess. Even though she is not his first love, at least he is the original wife.

Gu Jiaorong sniffed and felt really pitiful for herself.

Pei Xu left someone by Gu Jiaorong's side, so he naturally knew everything that happened. Even though Gu Jiaorong looked aggrieved, he still cooperated and coaxed her.

"I know you're feeling aggrieved. I heard Xinghua Village has a new pastry called Butterfly Cake. I'll bring it back for you tomorrow."

Gu Jiaorong was easy to coax. When she heard that there was snack to eat, she put her grievances behind her.

"I just knew it, Your Highness is the best."

Gu Jiaorong put on a smiling face, and her expression changed so quickly that even the maidservant who was serving her was surprised.

But Pei Xu's maidservant was always very perceptive and quickly lowered her head, pretending not to see it.

Pei Xu had long been accustomed to her greedy look and just smiled at her.

"Since Rong'er thinks I'm good, you must repay me well tonight."

Pei Xu turned the jade ring on his hand and spoke calmly.

Gu Jiaorong understood what he said was very serious, but she just nodded with a red face.

Originally, this matter was within her job scope, not to mention that she had received benefits from Pei Xu.

Today's event is somewhat similar to the Hongmen Banquet.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was really tiring to live with this group of evil people.

When will she be able to retire and live peacefully at home?

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but look up at the sky, hoping that Shen Zhaohua could quickly coax the prince and move on to the next plot.

Shen Zhaohua also wanted to do it, but she knew nothing about farming. If she were asked to come up with a solution, the only one she could think of was to develop water conservancy projects.

But developing water conservancy is a national affair, and it is not something she can do just by talking.

Shen Zhaohua had reached a dead end, but she also knew that it was useless to ask Gu Jiaorong for help.

Gu Jiaorong was just a servant girl of low birth, who became a concubine once the emperor gained power. She was probably only able to rise this high in her life. If she truly had talent, why would she use her beauty to please others?

What Shen Zhaohua despised most was using beauty to please others, and in history, those who used beauty to please others never had a good ending.

Therefore, when she came to this world, she was determined to follow the path of a talented woman, even though she was not absolutely outstanding in her original world, but only stood out because of the advantages of the era in which she was born.

After Shen Zhaohua left Gu Jiaorong's yard, he locked himself in the room. Pei Xu naturally knew about this.

But Pei Xu didn't mind. After all, if Shen Zhaohua could really come up with something good, it would only benefit him.

If nothing can be produced, it doesn’t matter. The palace doesn’t mind keeping one more person. At least it is better than releasing more enemies.
