Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Seeing his cold attitude, Shen Zhaohua's bright smile froze.

She felt more and more that her love had been seriously damaged.

Fortunately, she was a perceptive person and discovered the problem early on.

What made her feel even luckier was that she could still capture Pei Xu's attention through farming.

Although spring planting was almost over, drought was likely to occur in summer, and her waterwheel appeared at the right time.

Shen Zhaohua tightly grasped the drawing in her hand, as if she had seen her love being saved.

"I want to see you because I have something important to tell you."

Shen Zhaohua tried hard to smile. She didn't want to face Pei Xu like a nagging woman.

Even now her heart is filled with resentment.

A woman who lives in seclusion and complains is not likable.

And history books will not leave a good name for the loser.

But as long as she has not completely lost Pei Xu's heart, she still has the opportunity to write their love history.

"Pei Xu, come here, follow me."

Shen Zhaohua calmed down and did not question him why he was so cold. Instead, he pulled his sleeve and went into the room.

Pei Xu did not refuse. He also wanted to see what good things Shen Zhaohua could come up with.

However, his expression was indifferent and he didn't seem to have much expectations.

This made Shen Zhaohua feel a little uneasy.

But Shen Zhaohua quickly regained her composure. She didn't believe that Pei Xu would not care about a matter concerning the livelihood of the people.

Even as a person in power, the common people are like ants in his eyes.

As long as he is not confused, he will not make life too hard for the people.

After all, if the people work hard, there will be unrest. Even if it cannot disturb the capital, it is definitely not a good thing for the court.

"Look, this is the new waterwheel I drew. May is almost here, and soon the weather will be dry. This waterwheel can be used to irrigate the farmland."

Shen Zhaohua held the drawing in his hand and handed it to Pei Xu.

There is also a waterwheel here, but it is not as exquisite and practical as Shen Zhaohua's. She is confident that Pei Xu will not refuse.

Pei Xu knew what she was thinking, but he didn't refuse.

If this waterwheel can be put into use, it would be a good thing.

Shen Zhaohua spent a long time drawing, but in the end he only showed Pei Xu a few pages.

Pei Xu did not understand the work of craftsmen. He only thought that the drawing was quite exquisite, but he could not judge the practicality of the waterwheel.

"I need to take it to the Ministry of Works and show it to them. But since you're so considerate of the people, I still want to thank you on their behalf."

Pei Xu's tone was very official, which made Shen Zhaohua feel that she was doing good deeds.

This was not the result Shen Zhaohua wanted. She took great pains to draw the blueprints so that Pei Xu could relive their old dream and take a good look at her again.

She has never changed. She still loves Pei Xu as always and is as talented as ever.

Pei Xu shouldn't be seduced by someone like Gu Jiaorong. He is not such a vulgar person.

"Pei Xu, besides these, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Shen Zhaohua looked up at him, his face full of anticipation.

She expected Pei Xu to say something else, even sweet words.

"It's getting late, go to bed early. I've been busy with official duties lately. If there's nothing urgent, don't let Furong go to Fu'an."

Pei Xu raised his eyelids and spoke lightly.

He is no longer the person who used to obey Shen Zhaohua in everything.

Shen Zhaohua felt a little sad, and she subconsciously grabbed Pei Xu's arm.

"Pei Xu, we haven't been together properly for a long time. Can you stay and accompany me?"

There was a pleading tone in her voice, and her whole person was pitiful.

If she couldn't keep Pei Xu this time, she really didn't know what else she could do.

"Zhaohua, I'm very busy recently."

Pei Xu looked at her calmly, as if saying, don't be willful.

But Shen Zhaohua can't do it!

Shen Zhaohua couldn't bear to watch Gu Jiaorong snatch him away.

"It's just one night."

Shen Zhaohua's eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lip and looked at Pei Xu.

"I know you're busy. I only need one night. One night is enough."

Shen Zhaohua desperately wants to feel Pei Xu's love, only in this way can she feel safe.

"Zhaohua, I'll come to see you when I'm done."

Pei Xu still refused to give in. He only used Shen Zhaohua and had no love for her.

Although he didn't mind playing the emotional game with Shen Zhaohua, he didn't intend to sacrifice himself.

After all, Shen Zhaohua's origins are unknown, so he cannot take it lightly.

Now that he is in such a position, he has to be careful about everything and cannot be unprepared.

As the saying goes, lust is like a knife hanging over your head.

This beautiful bone in front of me may turn into a sharp knife in the dark night.

Pei Xu took a step back without leaving a trace, putting some distance between himself and Shen Zhaohua.

"Zhaohua, when we were together, I promised you that I would respect you, and you also said that you wouldn't embarrass me."

Pei Xu looked at her coldly, which made Shen Zhaohua panic.

"I don't mean to embarrass you. You can go to Gu Jiaorong again and again. I just asked you to accompany me. What's wrong with me?"

Shen Zhaohua shook his head, as if questioning, or muttering to himself.

"You're not busy with official duties, nor do you have time. You just don't love me anymore. It's a waste of my time trying so hard to please you."

Shen Zhaohua didn't understand why love came and went so quickly?

She admitted that when she approached Pei Xu, she didn't love him that much and she had her own purpose, but she really fell in love with him later!

"Zhao Hua, you know my identity, and I've told you that even though I like you and have promised you my whole life, I have many considerations and many frustrations. Xie Wanning is from a noble family, and Gu Jiaorong is someone she single-handedly supported to rise to prominence. She's also an old friend of my mother's, so I can't deny her this favor. You've repeatedly caused trouble for Gu Jiaorong, and I've pretended not to know anything about it. But if you keep making trouble, I don't think I can continue with you."

Pei Xu's emotions finally fluctuated, but what he said made Shen Zhaohua sad.

Shen Zhaohua naturally refused to break up with Pei Xu. Not to mention that she was reluctant to give up this relationship, she didn't know where to go after leaving Pei Xu.

After coming to this world, Shen Zhaohua was kept in captivity by Pei Xu.

"Pei Xu, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through. I won't cause trouble for Gu Jiaorong again. Don't be angry."

Shen Zhaohua finally lowered his proud head and chose to compromise.

Even though she still couldn't accept that her beloved man was with another woman, she couldn't stop it.

"Zhaohua, I know you have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart too. But I am not only your lover, I am also Prince Su."

Pei Xu spoke sweet words seriously, and Shen Zhaohua liked this most about him in the past.
