Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Fu'an took the sachet that Gu Jiaorong gave him in return and went back with a smile on his face.

He felt that this trip was not in vain!

If she had just sent a servant back, Aunt Gu would probably not have remembered to give the prince the sachet.

I just hope that when the prince sees this sachet, he will not be disgusted by its ugly appearance. After all, it was made by Aunt Gu with great effort, and the meaning behind it is more important.

Fu'an returned to Pei Xu with a mixture of joy and worry, his eyes filled with hesitation as if he wanted to say something.

Even without looking at him carefully, Pei Xu knew that he had something to say.

"Fuan, I didn't know you were such an introverted person. Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide it."

Pei Xu was in a good mood and even made a small joke.

The master could joke, but Fuan didn't dare to be casual. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have already sent the snacks to Aunt Gu. This is the sachet Aunt Gu asked me to bring to Your Highness."

He thought it would be better for the prince to look at the sachet himself, so he did not describe it in detail.

Pei Xu took it, looked at the sachet in his hand, and fell silent.

Thinking of the snacks made by Gu Jiaorong, this sachet actually looks quite cute.

"You go down first."

Pei Xu waved his hand and let Fuan leave.

He clutched the sachet in his hand and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

I haven't visited her for some time.

It’s just that Pei Xu has been busy lately and really doesn’t have time.

Therefore, he kept this idea in mind for many days before he was able to escape and prepare to return to the palace.

-

He Xiangning and others decided to meet Gu Jiaorong first.

However, there was no chance until Xie Wanning invited them to watch fish together in the pavilion by the pond, and then they met Gu Jiaorong.

Du Ruoyun was a quiet, reserved person, and when she saw Gu Jiaorong, only a hint of surprise crossed her eyes. It turned out that what she had said that day was true; He Xiangning did indeed bear some resemblance to Gu Jiaorong.

"I thought it was a joke. After all, there's no such coincidence in the world. I didn't expect Sister Xiangning to actually look a bit like Aunt Gu."

Shen Qingwei seemed to be innocent and attracted everyone's attention in the pavilion.

Xie Wanning's eyes darkened slightly, and she felt even more disgusted with He Xiangning.

Another bitch trying to snatch the prince from her!

Gu Jiaorong smiled at her but didn't say anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, Du Ruoyun immediately pulled Shen Qingwei's sleeve, signaling her not to continue talking so as not to offend anyone.

But how could Shen Qingwei let go of such a good opportunity?

"Sister Xiangning, are you also scared? I only heard people talk about it before, but now I see it with my own eyes."

She ignored Du Ruoyun's attempts to stop her and walked over to He Xiangning, pushing her towards Gu Jiaorong. She even called out to Xie Wanning without even realizing it, asking her to make a comment as well.

"Princess, Ruoyun, look, Sister Xiangning and Aunt Gu look even more alike when they stand together."

He Xiangning's face darkened. She thought Shen Qingwei was crazy.

No matter how much they teach the Sifang, now that they have come to Prince Su's Mansion, they should work together.

"Qingwei, don't be so presumptuous."

He Xiangning scolded her, "Madam Gu is the prince's favorite concubine. I am but a humble woman, how can I compare to Madam Gu?"

Of course, these words were not sincere, but He Xiangning was no fool and knew that she shouldn't be too arrogant at this moment. After all, she had some tricks and schemes to get to the crown prince.

Shen Qingwei was determined to go against her. During the few days they had been in the palace, they had seen He Xiangning's face many times, but in the end they hadn't accomplished anything.

Originally, this conspiracy had nothing to do with them. It was He Xiangning who wanted to climb up the social ladder and was willing to become a knife in the hands of the prince. Why should He Xiangning get all the benefits?

She is not Du Ruoyun who can't do anything even if she is beaten with three sticks. She is determined to kill He Xiangning's fighting spirit!

"Sister Xiangning, I just thought the princess and Aunt Gu were kind people, and I just said a few jokes. Why are you so angry? Do you think the princess and Aunt Gu will blame me?"

No matter how He Xiangning refuted Shen Qingwei's words, it was wrong and she accidentally offended the other two.

At this moment, Xie Wanning stood up.

"We are all sisters. I won't be angry if they say a joke or two. I don't think Jiaorong is that petty."

Xie Wanning had a kind smile on her face and a gentle voice. Anyone who didn't know her would be fooled by her when they saw her like this.

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes and agreed in a gentle voice.

"What the princess said was just a joke or two. There's nothing to be angry about."

Besides, what Shen Qingwei said was true, He Xiangning was indeed somewhat similar to her.

Since the parties involved have already said this, the matter was naturally put to rest.

But Shen Qingwei was unwilling to give up and still looked for opportunities to bully He Xiangning, while also trying to test Gu Jiaorong.

Whether they like it or not, now that they are in the game, they have no control over anything.

"I heard that Aunt Gu doesn't like to go out and always stays in her own yard. What's the fun in that? Now that we're here, the yard can be lively again. If Aunt Gu doesn't mind, my sister can keep her company every day."

Shen Qingwei seems cheerful and optimistic, but Gu Jiaorong doesn't find her cute.

To be honest, Shen Zhaohua is the one who is so simple-minded, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen in love and been deceived like this.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Shen. However, I have always preferred quietness and am particularly lazy. I don't like to move around. If Miss Shen were to be with me, I'm afraid she would find me too boring."

Gu Jiaorong smiled. She still enjoyed her time alone and didn't want them to disturb her.

Shen Qingwei was not angry at her words. Instead, she said, "The mountains and plains are vast, and the rest of my life is long. I think Aunt Gu has a certain detachment and clarity, which makes my sister look a little vulgar. No wonder the prince likes Aunt Gu so much."

These words seemed to be a compliment to Gu Jiaorong, but in fact they were a test.

They knew Gu Jiaorong's background and that she could not read or write, but when she met her today, Shen Qingwei felt that Gu Jiaorong might not be someone who was easy to deal with.

If you only use your beauty to please people, they will get tired of you sooner or later.

The reason why Gu Jiaorong has been favored until now must not be just because of her face.

"I don't know anything about mountains and fields, or about roads. I just think that since I have been favored by the princess and become the prince's concubine, I will just serve the prince wholeheartedly."

Gu Jiaorong's tone was calm and composed, as if she couldn't see Shen Qingwei's tentative intention.

"Although I don't understand what Miss Shen meant, if I really have to say it, I think we are all fish in this pond, and the prince is the clear water. Fish cannot survive without water."

Shen Qingwei had some tea today, but Gu Jiaorong was not affected at all and performed steadily.

Xie Wanning, who was standing aside, glanced at Gu Jiaorong but didn't say anything.

She had long experienced Gu Jiaorong's sharp tongue and didn't want to get into trouble again. It would be better for her to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. No matter who won or lost, it would be a good outcome for her.
