Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes. She knew very well that there was nothing special about Xie Wanning in Pei Xu's eyes.

It's just a little pet that I can pamper today if I like it, like a cat or a dog.

However, Xie Wanning was somewhat skeptical of Gu Jiaorong's tact.

If Gu Jiaorong really has no interest in the prince, why would she be so happy with him every day?

Even though the prince is pure and has no desires, he can't resist the seduction of this little bitch!

"How could I not know that you, little hoof, are always good at pretending to be good and coaxing the prince around."

Xie Wanning snorted coldly and didn't buy her account.

"The prince likes you, I have no right to interfere, but you must know that the moon is not always full and the flowers are easy to fall. You are proud today, but tomorrow you may be like the girl in Liuyunxuan."

Liuyunxuan is where Shen Zhaohua lives, and now it has become a topic of private conversation among everyone.

Miss Shen was so favored in the past, calling the prince by his name every day, but now she is under house arrest.

No wonder people say that those in high positions of power are ruthless.

Gu Jiaorong certainly knew this truth, so she was cautious every day, fearing not losing favor, but losing her life.

"Thank you for your advice, Princess. I will keep it in mind."

Gu Jiaorong agreed with a smile. She was not as quick-tempered as Shaoyao, so even if someone said something to her, she could handle it calmly.

Besides, what Xie Wanning said was also right.

If Pei Xu can love her today, he can love someone else tomorrow.

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes and wondered when Pei Xu would lose interest in her so that she could retire and enjoy her retirement.

As the saying goes, human joys and sorrows are not shared.

Xie Wanning only saw her being favored every night, but she didn't know how much pain she felt.

Pei Xu is a man who likes to make trouble. When he is in the mood, he is unwilling to end it easily.

Gu Jiaorong, a wage earner, was overwhelmed with fatigue and speechless.

If Xie Wanning could relieve her suffering and save her life with just a few words, she would be extremely grateful.

However, Xie Wanning had no such plans.

"I know you're not convinced in your heart, but you're just saying nice things. I won't bother with you."

Xie Wanning was so upset, but she had to pretend to be magnanimous.

She changed the subject and went back to talking about offending Princess Nan'an.

"But, do you know that you were wrong about what happened yesterday?"

Gu Jiaorong didn't think she was wrong. If the other party didn't mock her for being rude, and Princess Nan'an and Xie Wanning didn't make things difficult for her, she would naturally not say much.

She stopped Shaoyao and looked at Xie Wanning.

"Does the princess have to decide who is right and who is wrong?"

With this as the only excuse, Xie Wanning naturally wouldn't let her go easily.

"In terms of seniority, Princess Nan'an is the elder, and in terms of status, you are not even a concubine. Even if Princess Nan'an doesn't take yesterday's incident to heart, your actions have brought disgrace to the reputation of our palace. Do you want me to let this matter go?"

Xie Wanning narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she really wanted to intimidate Gu Jiaorong.

"If your Highness had cared about the reputation of the palace, you shouldn't have brought me to the banquet yesterday. If I have brought disgrace upon the palace, your Highness will be held responsible."

Gu Jiaorong said slowly and calmly that she didn't want to be the one to take the blame.

Originally, Xie Wanning invited her to the Hongmen Banquet, but the girls at the banquet were not domineering enough and did not achieve the effect Xie Wanning wanted.

But this is normal. After all, they all come from big families. Who can't judge the situation?

It would be fine to discuss it privately, but if we really interfere in the affairs of the palace, it will only cause more trouble.

When they go out, they represent not only themselves, but also the families behind them.

The one who is holding on to this matter now is not Princess Nan'an, nor the noble ladies, but Xie Wanning.

In this case, Gu Jiaorong naturally couldn't let her stay out of it.

Xie Wanning gritted her teeth. She knew that this little bitch was not easy to deal with, otherwise Shen Zhaohua would not have returned empty-handed every time.

"Gu Jiaorong, you're such a jerk. I have one thing for you and you have ten. I think you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."

Xie Wanning slammed the table in anger, and even the strong Gu Jiaorong felt pain for her.

"Princess, don't be angry. I didn't mean that."

Gu Jiaorong still smiled in a flattering manner, not showing any sharp tongue at all.

Xie Wanning hated her hypocritical appearance the most, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Unfortunately, if she wanted to get rid of Gu Jiaorong, she had to wait until she fell out of favor.

Xie Wanning warned herself in her heart that the position of princess was not easy to come by and she must not be impulsive. Gu Jiaorong was not worth it.

But now that things have come to this, what should she do if she has no way out?

As the saying goes, when you are sleepy, there is a pillow.

Someone came to the door to report, and Xu Qingwan handed the invitation to Gu Jiaorong.

Then he said with an embarrassed look, "Tan Yu, who is beside Miss Xu, said that Miss Xu asked her to hand the invitation to Aunt Gu personally, so she asked me to come and invite Aunt Gu."

Xu Qingwan and Xie Wanning had been at odds for a long time. When Xie Wanning heard it was her, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

"Since it's the invitation from Miss Xu, then Aunt Gu should go."

Xie Wanning waved her hand. She didn't want to look at Jiaorong's face anymore.

After hearing this, Gu Jiaorong bowed and left with Shaoyao. She didn't want to stay with Xie Wanning any longer.

Xie Wanning was obviously trying to find her fault. She was really afraid that if she said something wrong, she would be punished.

It’s not easy to work, Jiaorong sighs.

Shaoyao seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Auntie, there is no need to be so cautious. The princess does not have the prince's favor. Even if it is really your fault, the prince will protect you."

This is a bit too confident.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't believe it.

She still couldn't see through Pei Xu.

Although Pei Xu did not show his cold side when he was with her, she could see the coldness in his eyes.

Pei Xu's entanglement with her was nothing more than physical.

He doesn't love Gu Jiaorong, Shen Zhaohua, or Xie Wanning.

His favorite thing is power.

Power is his lifelong pursuit, and they are just stepping stones on his road to power.

"Peony, don't say such things again."

Gu Jiaorong took a deep breath and realized that a worker should have the awareness of a worker.

A promotion and a raise in salary would be nice, but they are not suitable for her.

Gu Jiaorong has no powerful background and no smart mind. She is destined to be a cannon fodder. As soon as she shows up, she will be killed in seconds.

In order to survive, she cannot be greedy for fame and fortune.

"No matter where the prince's heart lies, I am just a concubine. I just need to do my job well and serve the prince well."

Gu Jiaorong whispered that she didn't know how many people were hiding in the secret corner of the palace, not to mention that there was a gatekeeper leading the way ahead, so she didn't dare to speak carelessly.

"My aunt has taught me a lesson, and I know I am wrong."

Shaoyao probably didn't expect her to say that. She was stunned for a moment before she spoke.

Gu Jiaorong stopped talking and just walked forward.

For some reason, Tan Yu just waited at the door and did not step into the palace.

Gu Jiaorong didn't understand the twists and turns in officialdom and attributed his behavior to avoiding suspicion.

After all, it is not a good thing for the family of an important court official to be close to Pei Xu.

I wonder how many eyes are watching us secretly.

Gu Jiaorong, a concubine, no matter how favored she was, was just a small toy and not worth mentioning.
