Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Shen Zhaohua wanted to touch Pei Xu's face and find the happiness he once had.

But Pei Xu has already turned around and he will leave tonight.

Even though he said that he had Shen Zhaohua in his heart, he still didn't want to stay.

"Pei Xu..."

Shen Zhaohua called him softly, with reluctance in his eyes.

Pei Xu looked back at her with a faint smile.

"Be good, I'll come see you when I'm done."

Pei Xu no longer lingered, and left in big strides, holding the blueprint in his hand.

The waterwheel drawings that Shen Zhaohua gave him were indeed somewhat useful. Even if they could not be put into use immediately, after research and modification by the Ministry of Industry, they would definitely be able to produce a waterwheel that would be more practical than the current one.

This is a good thing.

What Pei Xu said was not a lie, but the credit could not be attributed to Shen Zhaohua.

No one knew that Pei Xu kept such a person in his mansion.

When Shen Zhaohua went to find Pei Xu, he was quite smart and did not use the excuse of gunpowder.

What's more, Pei Xu would never let others know about such a big thing as gunpowder.

Even if there were rumors in the capital, they were only about Pei Xu's romantic affairs.

Pei Xu brought back a beautiful girl and doted on her very much.

But this girl was only in favor for a few months before her favor was snatched away by the new concubine.

Among the nobles in the capital, this was not a big deal.

Which of these men of noble birth is not like this? They love one today and fall in love with another tomorrow. In the end, there are countless beautiful women in the backyard.

There are only three people in Pei Xu's backyard now, which is really not a lot.

Some ministers even hoped that Pei Xu could be more romantic, after all, Pei Xu's position as concubine had not yet been decided.

If we can marry into the Prince Su's Mansion, it will definitely be a great thing.

-

Pei Xu came out of Shen Zhaohua's yard and went straight back to the study.

It's no exaggeration to say that he's been busy with official duties these days.

Recently, Your Majesty has been intending to investigate corrupt officials, and the Dali Temple has become increasingly busy.

After all, these matters are handled by others, so it is better to leave them to Pei Xu.

Pei Xu, as Prince Su and concurrently the Minister of Justice, held a high position of power. Even if an official refused to cooperate and tried to use his official position to pressure others, he would have to consider his own weight.

What's more, Pei Xu was also a military general. If someone was so bold as to want to kill someone to silence him, he might not be able to succeed under Pei Xu's nose.

Over the years, officials in the court have all been very cautious, fearing that Pei Xu, the cold-faced evil spirit, would investigate them.

The case of corruption committed by the inspector was closed last year, but it was brought up again recently and the truth was revealed.

The case of corruption committed by the Inspector General was not handled by Pei Xu. Now that it has been transferred to Pei Xu, Pei Xu naturally has to investigate it again, which is why he is working overtime.

Gu Jiaorong was very happy about this. Since Pei Xu worked overtime, she didn't have to work overtime.

Xian, Gu Jiaorong and Yu cherish every day that Pei Xu is not around.

Now that the sun was getting hotter, she no longer lay in the yard all day, but moved under the eaves.

"The prince hasn't come to our courtyard for three days. I don't know what Miss Shen said to him, but she has reported my concubine."

Yue Yan couldn't help but sigh. She didn't want Gu Jiaorong to fall out of favor so quickly.

If Gu Jiaorong fell out of favor, she might not even be able to get egg custard for Gu Jiaorong when she went to the kitchen in the future.

"What are you afraid of? Besides, Miss Shen isn't the type to complain. Even if she did complain, would you still go to the prince to plead your innocence?"

Gu Jiaorong remained calm and spoke with a smile.

"Whether the prince comes or not doesn't affect our lives. We just need to live our lives well."

Although she didn't care whether Pei Xu came over, Yue Yan still curled her lips.

Even though she agreed with Gu Jiaorong every time, her deep-rooted ideas were difficult to change.

Gu Jiaorong never thought of asking Yueyan to change. After all, everyone has their own rules of survival, and her rules of survival may not apply to Yueyan.

Although she is a nobody, she doesn't think it's wrong to be ambitious.

As long as she is not involved, they can still be good colleagues.

-

Xie Wanning couldn't count how long it had been since she last saw the prince.

Perhaps from the moment she married into Prince Su's mansion, Pei Xu had never spoken a proper word to her again.

Xie Wanning was madly jealous of Gu Jiaorong. She didn't understand why Gu Jiaorong, who was just a little concubine, could receive such favor from the prince?

"Haruji, when can we start? I really can't wait any longer."

Xie Wanning pinched the handkerchief, and her pretty face became ferocious.

"That bitch Shen Zhaohua can actually keep the prince, and Gu Jiaorong is so favored by the prince. Only I, only I, am like a joke."

Xie Wanning couldn't understand why the chess piece she supported became her other opponent.

"Princess, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I understand your heart, but now is not the time."

Chunzhi spoke to comfort Xie Wanning, she didn't think now was the best time to take action.

"The prince rarely visits Miss Shen now, which shows that our plan is still useful, but the time has not come yet."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Wanning exploded.

"The time has not come yet, the time has not come yet. You always say the time has not come yet, but when is the right time? If we wait any longer, that bitch might not even give birth to the child."

Xie Wanning felt a huge crisis and she would never allow another woman to give birth to Pei Xu's child.

Pei Xu's child can only be born by her.

Xie Wanning calmed down and spoke again.

"You said earlier that you would ask that bitch's parents to come, but it was useless and even alarmed the prince."

Haruji didn't expect this result.

After all, Gu Jiaorong's vampire parents were just small fry, not worth the prince's attention at all.

"Princess, this proves that the bitch's parents are useful. We just need to find a way to let them meet again, and we don't have to worry about anything else."

Chunzhi felt that this matter was a sure thing, but she did not consider that Gu Jiaorong today was no longer the same Gu Jiaorong as before.

"You can do whatever you want. But today, you need to call her over first. I need to give her a good beating."

Xie Wanning always felt uneasy, she was afraid that the thing she was most worried about would happen.

The prince stayed at Gu Jiaorong's house many times, but Gu Jiaorong only drank the contraceptive soup once. It is possible that she is pregnant now.

"If I had known earlier, I should have given her a bowl of medicine to prevent her from having children."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Xie Wanning's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Princess, don't be impulsive."

Chunzhi spoke up to remind her that she didn't want Xie Wanning to get herself killed.

"I was just talking, I didn't really do anything."

Xie Wanning smiled. Now she looked a bit like the person who forced Pei Xu to marry her.
