Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

However, it is normal for your beloved pet to stand up for her when she is angry and in a good mood.

Therefore, no one found it strange when Pei Xu took Wang Ziyue away this morning.

After all, Wang Ziyue's daughter, Queen Yiyun, once insulted Pei Xu's favorite concubine and called her vulgar.

Xu Qingwan also had a fight with Gu Jiaorong at the Spring Flower Banquet, which made Gu Jiaorong unhappy.

Now that he has come to the house, perhaps he is also trying to apologize to avoid implicating the Yu family.

"Hello, Aunt Gu. After our young lady returned home yesterday, she felt guilty. I have asked this servant to deliver an invitation and a gift to Aunt Gu as a token of my apology. I hope Aunt Gu will accept it."

Tan Yu's words confirmed Gu Jiaorong's guess.

I have to say, Xu Qingwan is quite smart.

She chose the right time to win over Gu Jiaorong.

Gu Jiaorong didn't want to get involved, but she was already involved.

She felt that her workload was getting heavier and heavier, and all of this was due to Xie Wanning.

"You are so polite, young lady. What happened yesterday is not solely your fault."

Gu Jiaorong smiled slightly and cooperated with Tan Yu in acting.

She felt that she was the most dedicated cannon fodder in the history of transmigration books. Even when the plot had gone astray, she still insisted on following the plot.

"I accept this invitation. Please tell your daughter not to feel too guilty. I didn't take yesterday's incident to heart."

As soon as Gu Jiaorong finished speaking, Shaoyao took the box from Tan Yu's hand.

After Tan Yu delivered the things, he did not stay long.

After Gu Jiaorong returned to the yard, she asked Shaoyao to open the box and take a look at the gift. After all, these were favors and would have to be returned in the future.

Shaoyao naturally understood and put the box on the table and opened it.

"Auntie, Miss Xu gave me a fan embroidered with mountains and rivers, a pair of jade pendants with fish patterns, a hairpin inlaid with emerald jewels, and an exquisite jade bracelet."

Although it may not seem like much, they are all valuable items that most people cannot afford.

Gu Jiaorong lay on the recliner and slowly raised her eyelids. It seemed that Xu Qingwan really wanted to bribe her.

"Keep it. It's a good opportunity to check out the storeroom and pick out some good things. We're going to the banquet in three days, so we can't be too shabby."

Although Gu Jiaorong was poor, she had some rewards from the prince and princess, which she could afford.

"Yes, aunt."

Shaoyao put it away carefully and carried the box into the house.

Yueyan came over and looked at Gu Jiaorong eagerly.

"Auntie, why did Miss Xu suddenly send so many good things? Could it be that she wants to make friends with you?"

Yueyan didn't understand all this. She just thought that if their aunt had a few friends from good families, she would have a say in front of the prince in the future.

"I'm afraid it's the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken."

Gu Jiaorong smiled. "A noble lady from a prominent family would take the initiative to befriend a concubine. There must be some interests involved. I think the prince must have made some move, or the Xu family is interested in getting close to the prince. Unfortunately, she's trying to please the wrong person. There's nothing I can do to help her."

The biggest reason why Pei Xu chose her was that she was useless.

Gu Jiaorong is very self-aware.

The day she interferes in Pei Xu's private affairs will be the day she loses Pei Xu's protection.

Yueyan didn't understand, but she was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

"Auntie, you've worked hard these past two days. I'll go get you some snacks you like."

Yueyan smiled and revealed her dimples. She always unconditionally favored Gu Jiaorong.

"Sit down and take a break. Stop working."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. Perhaps because the weather was getting warmer, she had no appetite today.

Yueyan nodded obediently and spoke to her in a low voice.

"That Miss Shen doesn't seem to be having a good time these days. I heard she's always crying in the middle of the night."

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes, "Really?"

Shen Zhaohua shouldn't be such a person. At least she is more likable in the book.

"Yes, everyone says that Miss Shen can't stand the stimulation and has gone crazy."

Yueyan nodded slightly and spoke very convincingly.

Fanglan chuckled and sat next to them.

"Auntie, don't listen to Yueyan's nonsense. It's not true. But it's true that Miss Shen was tossing and turning at night. We don't know what she was tossing and turning. We only heard her say that the prince betrayed her and she didn't want to stay here anymore. She wanted to go back."

Fanglan just felt that Miss Shen was a joke. She had entered the palace with such arrogance, but now she could just leave as she pleased, as if this was a vegetable market.

When Gu Jiaorong heard this, she couldn't help but think of another meaning.

Perhaps when Shen Zhaohua said he wanted to go back, he meant going back to the modern era.

Shen Zhaohua is different from Gu Jiaorong. She has relatives and friends in modern times. Unlike Gu Jiaorong, she not only has no relatives or friends, but also lost her life.

The unscrupulous boss's constant exploitation led her to dedicate her life to work at a young age.

If she died in this world, she would be dead forever.

This is also why Gu Jiaorong has been living a miserable life.

Even though everyone said that Gu Jiaorong was favored, she didn't dare to be arrogant.

Gu Jiaorong reminds herself all the time not to fall in love with those in power, as that is the most foolish thing to do.

"Maybe she misses her parents and brothers too."

Gu Jiaorong sighed and asked again, "My parents haven't come since last time?"

It wasn't that she had any feelings for the scumbag parents, but she just felt that it was a bit unreasonable for them to let her go so easily.

"Of course they have been here before, but the prince has already given orders that if they come again, they will be kicked out."

Fanglan replied with a smile, her hands still threading the needle.

"The prince treats his concubine with unique care. Even Miss Shen in the past was not so attentive."

Gu Jiaorong nodded. She also thought Pei Xu was a good boss.

Except sometimes, it doesn't make sense.

This usually happens in bed.

So she agreed to speak up, but she couldn't help but complain.

"The prince treats me very well. It would be even better if the demands could be smaller."

Pei Xu heard this as soon as he came in.

Gu Jiaorong: Why do I always get caught when I say bad things behind someone’s back?

"It seems Rong'er still has something against me?"

Pei Xu waved his hand, and the maids and servants in the yard left.

Gu Jiaorong tilted her little face up, staring eagerly at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer.

This face is still so beautiful, it’s really hard for her to refuse!

But Pei Xu misinterpreted her meaning, which she could not tolerate.

"Your Majesty, I am praising you."

Gu Jiaorong smiled ingratiatingly, with a hint of cunning in her almond-shaped eyes.

"Your Majesty is truly powerful. If he were farming, he could probably plow two miles of land."

Pei Xu could tell that she did it on purpose. After all, when they were close, she had once said: There are no fields that can be plowed to death, only cows that can be worked to death.

The person in front of him was calling him an animal again.

"Naughty."

Pei Xu was not angry. He scratched her nose, held her in his arms, and replaced her on the recliner.

Gu Jiaorong leaned on him softly, her arms climbing up his neck.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any."

Gu Jiaorong said in a delicate voice, resting her head on his chest.

Pei Xu pinched her cheek and laughed softly.

"You're acting like a spoiled child today, but what trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
