Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince
Chapter 46 Showing off one’s edge
"Si Rou, you know I can't write poetry, so I'd better not make a fool of myself."
Xu Qingwan had no intention of letting Gu Jiaorong go, she just wanted to pester her.
In this huge villa, Gu Jiaorong is the only interesting person.
"I don't know you yet, but I'm afraid you can't bear to leave your new friend, so just ask her to go with you."
Wang Sirou glanced at Gu Jiaorong calmly, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that we can see what kind of extraordinary woman Prince Su's favorite concubine is."
Just by hearing her words, Gu Jiaorong felt that this girl might be interested in Pei Xu.
"I am not very talented or well-educated, so I am not as good as the other girls. I will not show off my ugliness."
Gu Jiaorong remembered that her original body was indeed not very educated, and asking her to embroider was even worse than asking her to write poetry.
Whether the embroidery is good or not is another matter, but at least she can pick up the needle and thread.
When Wang Sirou heard her say this, she wanted to pull her away even more.
"You don't have to belittle yourself. We girls are no better than men. We just wrote a few random poems for fun and to liven things up."
Wang Sirou was determined to take them with her. Xu Qingwan couldn't refuse, nor did she want to let Gu Jiaorong go.
Gu Jiaorong didn't want to argue with them and attract attention, so she could only follow them with a sigh.
When Princess Nan'an saw them coming together, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she knew there was something else going on, so she naturally didn't ask any more questions.
"It's May now, and the weather is getting hotter. I'm not in good health and can't stand the heat. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the flowers with you for a while. If I don't have a good time, I'm afraid I'll be wasting the spring scenery in the garden."
This Spring Flower Banquet was originally organized by Princess Nan'an, so it was understandable that they wanted to start with poetry. However, she also knew that not all noble ladies loved to indulge in literary arts, so even if she wanted to avoid offending others, she had to have a good reason.
"We are not as knowledgeable as men, and we don't need to stick to rules. We just need to have fun."
That being said, there are also those who love to show off. Even when they are just writing poems for fun, they want to be the best.
On the contrary, Gu Jiaorong, although being pulled here, did not say a word.
"Sister Jiaorong is Prince Su's favorite concubine. She must be extremely talented. Today, we sisters must witness her."
Wang Sirou spoke with a smile. She knew that Gu Jiaorong came from a humble background, but she also intended to make things difficult for her.
Gu Jiaorong raised her eyes and looked at Wang Sirou with an indifferent expression.
She couldn't compose poetry, but she could recite quite a few, but there was no need for that.
She is just a vulgar woman with no substance.
"Miss Wang, you are too kind. I have no talent or virtue, but I am fortunate to have the support of the princess, which has brought me to where I am today."
Gu Jiaorong's expression was frank and her voice was full of energy. Those who didn't know her would have thought that it was Wang Sirou who couldn't compose poetry.
Although this is the truth, Xie Wanning's pretty face twisted when she heard this.
She knew very well in her heart that Gu Jiaorong was not grateful to her.
Otherwise, Gu Jiaorong should be willing to be her pawn and help her get rid of Shen Zhaohua, the biggest threat to her, instead of snatching away Pei Xu's favor.
"Since Jiaorong doesn't want to compose poetry, there's no need to force it."
Princess Nan'an gave Xie Wanning a look, signaling her to stay calm.
"Silou, don't make things difficult for Jiaorong. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Who knows, you might find Jiaorong's strengths in a moment."
Princess Nan'an is supporting Xie Wanning.
Gu Jiaorong raised her eyelids and smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, what you said is true. I was born a maid, and I am best at sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the courtyard. But now the garden is full of spring and the flowers are in full bloom. I guess there are no fallen leaves for me to sweep."
"How vulgar. I don't know what the prince likes about her."
I don't know which girl in the crowd said this.
Gu Jiaorong didn't feel ashamed, but smiled and replied: "Perhaps the prince likes my vulgarity. After all, after eating too much delicacies from land and sea, even plain porridge and side dishes will taste refreshing."
She had no intention of arguing with anyone, but this group of people just wouldn't let her go.
Even a clay figure would have some temper, let alone her?
"How dare you, Gu Jiaorong! Don't forget your identity!"
Xie Wanning's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Gu Jiaorong, who was always obedient, would say such a thing.
"Princess, I have never forgotten my identity."
Gu Jiaorong replied calmly, "If your Highness feels that anything I said is wrong, please point it out to me. I will definitely correct it in the future."
At this moment, she is no longer the insignificant person who escapes from the world to avoid disaster.
Of course Xie Wanning couldn't point it out, because every word Gu Jiaorong said was true.
Princess Nan'an also saw that Xie Wanning had lost the argument, so she immediately stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
On the contrary, the girl who complained about Gu Jiaorong's vulgarity disappeared perfectly.
Gu Jiaorong no longer approached the nobleman and left quietly with Shaoyao.
She reached the path and sighed.
His talent is fully revealed.
But if she continued to endure the situation, she would really become a Ninja Turtle.
Xie Wanning had no intention of letting her go at all, so no matter how many excuses she made, it was useless.
Shaoyao had been following Gu Jiaorong silently. When she heard her sigh, she thought she was worried that the princess would cause trouble for her after she returned to the palace.
"Don't worry, Auntie. This is not your fault. Even if the princess wants to embarrass you, the prince will not allow it."
Like everyone else, Shaoyao firmly believed that Gu Jiaorong was very favored.
Gu Jiaorong never pinned her hopes on others.
Especially if this person is a man.
Pei Xu likes her because she is well-behaved, obedient and easy to control, but he may not like her causing trouble.
But there was no need for her to argue with Shaoyao about this, so she just nodded.
"Sister Jiaorong..."
Xu Qingwan followed out at some point and trotted to Gu Jiaorong's side.
"I know you are different. Even if you pretend to be well-behaved, I still know you are different."
Xu Qingwan is a smart person, which is not good for Gu Jiaorong.
"I don't understand what Miss Xu said. I am just a humble person. If Miss Xu wants to make friends, please choose someone else."
Gu Jiaorong just wanted to stay away from Xu Qingwan. If Xu Qingwan hadn't insisted on dragging her over, she wouldn't have gotten into such trouble.
Even in this matter, it was her fault for not being thick-skinned enough and not wanting to be treated like a monkey.
But Gu Jiaorong has never been a person who wastes time on internal conflicts. She would never blame herself if she could blame others.
"But I just think Sister Jiaorong is good."
Xu Qingwan smiled and said, "Even when I heard the rumors about Sister Jiaorong, I felt that Sister Jiaorong was a remarkable woman, and I wanted to get to know her."
Enough, she said.
If she knew who started this rumor, she would smash that person's head off.
Gu Jiaorong really hates it!
Why did ancient people also like gossip?
"Miss Xu is wrong. I am just an ordinary person."
Gu Jiaorong didn't think she was special. She was timid and cowardly and just wanted to survive in the world.
