Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Xu Qingwan blinked her eyes to show her disbelief.

"Sister Jiaorong, there's no need to be modest. If you are a vulgar person, then you are a different vulgar person."

Xu Qingwan looked so dependent on Gu Jiaorong that she was speechless.

"Miss Xu, why are you doing this?"

Gu Jiaorong really didn't think there was any benefit in Xu Qingwan getting close to a cannon fodder female supporting role like her. It would be better for her to ease the relationship with Xie Wanning.

"I never consider the background of my friends. I will make friends with anyone I like."

Xu Qingwan raised her chin slightly, looking quite proud and arrogant.

Gu Jiaorong felt that Xu Qingwan and Shen Zhaohua should have common topics.

They all retain the youthful spirit that has not been hit by reality, but Gu Jiaorong has long been smoothed out by the workplace.

Of course, this could also be Xu Qingwan's disguise.

But Gu Jiaorong had no intention of exploring her thoughts, she just wanted to protect herself.

"Miss Xu, although I am only a concubine, I am also a person, not a toy. It's not that you are attracted to me and want to be friends with me, but I must be friends with you."

Gu Jiaorong was not in a good mood today and did not have the patience to deal with her anymore.

She turned around and looked at Xu Qingwan with a cold gaze.

"That was not what I meant."

Xu Qingwan spoke hesitantly. Even though she did not consider Gu Jiaorong's feelings at first, if she wanted to make friends with Prince Su's Mansion, she would rather choose Gu Jiaorong than Xie Wanning.

An unlovable princess and a doted-on wife, the answer is obvious.

What's more, this princess is her mortal enemy.

"I apologize for my behavior just now. I didn't mean to embarrass you."

Xu Qingwan just wanted to see what was so outstanding about Gu Jiaorong that she was regarded as such a favorite by Pei Xu.

"That will truly disappoint Miss Xu. I have no talent or virtue, and am a most mediocre person. I only know how to please the prince."

Gu Jiaorong seemed to see through her thoughts and curled her lips.

"If Miss Xu places her hopes on me, I'm afraid she will be disappointed."

Gu Jiaorong did not care about the affairs of the court, nor did she ask about Pei Xu's official affairs.

If Xu Qingwan's family were implicated in a case, she would not be able to help.

Xu Qingwan pursed her lips, a trace of worry and shame flashing in her eyes.

She thought she was smart, but she didn't expect that her every move had been seen through by the other party.

"Sorry, I……"

Before Xu Qingwan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Jiaorong.

"No need to apologize, I just hope Miss Xu won't bother me again in the future."

Gu Jiaorong waved her hand and left with Shaoyao.

"Auntie, Miss Xu has a good family background. If you can make friends with her, it would be a good choice."

Shaoyao took a long time to speak, she couldn't see through Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong certainly knew that being on good terms with Xu Qingwan had its benefits, but there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Peony, my supporter now is the prince. Xu Qingwan doesn't fancy me as a person, but the prince. If I become good friends with her and she asks me for help, should I agree or not? If I want to please someone, I might as well cling to the prince's thigh tightly. After all, everything I have is given by the prince, and I will have to live my life according to his mood in the future."

Gu Jiaorong smiled and spoke again.

"To put it another way, I'm just a concubine. No matter how favored I am, I can never surpass the princess. But Miss Xu and the princess are sworn enemies. I've had enough of life, so I'm making friends with the princess's sworn enemy."

Although Xie Wanning is love-brained, she is the reborn heroine and the protagonist's halo will favor her.

What's more, she has a military advisor Chunzhi and the huge Xie family by her side.

Gu Jiaorong has nothing, what can she play with?

Shaoyao didn't expect Gu Jiaorong to say that. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After all, it was Gu Jiaorong who had just openly refuted the princess.

"Let's find a place to sit. If the princess doesn't open her mouth, we can't go back."

Gu Jiaorong had no intention of leaving Xie Wanning behind and going back, although Xie Wanning must have been annoyed by her.

But Xie Wanning was right, Gu Jiaorong was really good at pretending to be good.

This is an essential skill for workers.

Even if her leader is angry, she cannot lose her composure.

The villa of Princess Nan'an is so magnificent that it would not be difficult for Gu Jiaorong to find a corner if she wanted to.

Therefore, she avoided Xie Wanning for the rest of the time.

Although Xie Wanning didn't see Gu Jiaorong, she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart.

She pulled Princess Nan'an and started to complain.

"Aunt, you don't know, she's very favored now. Not only does the prince stay at her place every day, but she also brings him snacks. Even when she's busy with official duties, she still remembers to ask Fu'an to buy some and send them back to the palace. If the prince just wanted something new, it would be fine. I tolerated Shen Zhaohua back then, but Gu Jiaorong is different."

Xie Wanning said with red eyes that she had liked Pei Xu for many years and had seen the appearance of Pei Xu's lover in her previous life. She thought she understood Pei Xu better than anyone else.

She really couldn't bear it!

Who can bear to watch the man they love sleeping with another woman every night and being so affectionate with her?

Xie Wanning really couldn't do it.

Princess Nan'an patted the back of her hand and soothed her gently, "Wan Ning, you must remember that you are a daughter of the Xie family, not a jealous peasant woman at the village entrance. You must not be too petty, otherwise you will only push the prince further away. I think that Gu Jiaorong is also knowledgeable and sensible, and she is not arrogant because of her favor. Just pretend that she doesn't exist."

Regardless of whether Gu Jiaorong is there or not, Pei Xu still doesn't like Xie Wanning.

This marriage was too forced, and no one in the capital was optimistic about it, except Xie Wanning, who still refused to give up.

"Aunt, I have Pei Xu in my heart."

Xie Wanning bit her lip, she couldn't let go.

Princess Nan'an couldn't help but sigh. The word "love" was really hard to understand.

"I really don't know whether facilitating this marriage has helped you or harmed you."

The news that Xie Wanning liked Pei Xu was a hot topic, and she had repeatedly declared that she would not marry anyone but Pei Xu.

Such a good girl, but she doesn't even care about her own reputation.

The Xie family was naturally furious, but since things had come to this point, they could only try their best to make amends.

It happened that the emperor was afraid of Pei Xu, so Concubine Shu asked for permission to grant the marriage, which brought the matter to a happy ending.

But it is obvious that Xie Wanning became a political victim.

Even though Pei Xu married Xie Wanning, he still didn't like her and even brought back Shen Zhaohua.

Now there is another Gu Jiaorong.

"Aunt, I am willing to marry Pei Xu."

Xie Wanning understood what Princess Nan'an meant, and she bit her lip.

"Even if I can't get his heart, I will still keep him."

Princess Nan'an shook her head helplessly, but Pei Xu refused to even ask her to guard the place.

Even if Gu Jiaorong is gone, there will be other women.

Xie Wanning can only sit on the throne of princess and live as a widow forever.

This is extremely cruel for a woman.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was Pei Xu's revenge.

Pei Xu seemed to give her what she wanted, but she would never get what she wanted, the love that belonged to Pei Xu.

Pei Xu will love many women in his life, but Xie Wanning will never be one of them.
