Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Pei Xu's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes became soft, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

"I thought Rong'er was going to put forward some incredible conditions, but I didn't expect it to be just this. What's so difficult about this?"

For Pei Xu, it was just a matter of his thoughts.

But Gu Jiaorong was so cautious for such a long time before she could use the child as a bargaining chip to ask Pei Xu for what he wanted.

The difference in their social status is not just huge. The difference between master and servant is like heaven and earth.

"So, the prince has agreed?"

Gu Jiaorong looked at Pei Xu with a sharp gaze, as if she was afraid that if she was distracted for a moment, she would miss Pei Xu's answer.

Pei Xu nodded. He was in a good mood and his mouth was relaxed.

However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Jiaorong did not make any excessive demands.

"Since Your Majesty has agreed, then please give me a written agreement. After all, words are not enough."

Gu Jiaorong did not stop there, but made new demands.

Even though the request was a bit rude, Pei Xu still satisfied her.

"Is Rong'er satisfied?"

Pei Xu handed over the receipt and asked her with a smile.

Gu Jiaorong did not respond to him, but fiddled with the document in her hand, looking quite naive.

She came from a humble background and worked as a maid since she was young, so she had never been to school.

Pei Xu knew that she couldn't see anything, but he didn't laugh at her. Instead, he looked at her with gentle eyes as she held up the document and looked left and right.

Perhaps because she was tired of it, or perhaps because she really couldn't see anything, Gu Jiaorong put the receipt away like a treasure and thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very satisfied."

With this document, she felt more at ease.

Although there is a possibility that Pei Xu may turn against me, it is better than having no guarantee at all.

Gu Jiaorong is now pregnant, so naturally she has to plan more for the future. She can no longer just wait for the plot to end and gain her freedom as before.

Although she did not want this child, since she was pregnant, she must be responsible.

If possible, she would like to leave with her child.

But how could she know that Pei Xu had never thought of letting her go, and he signed the document just to make her happy.

"As long as Rong'er is satisfied, that's fine. If you're still not satisfied, I can sign a few more documents for you."

Pei Xu held his face with his slender fingers and looked at her leisurely.

The news that there was a successor did make him happy enough, and he became more easy to get along with than before.

Gu Jiaorong's eyelashes trembled slightly. "I just want His Majesty to agree and abide by this one request."

She has never been a greedy person. Her biggest wish after coming to this world is to regain her freedom and live a stable life.

However, things did not develop as she wished, but instead kept pushing her in unpredictable directions.

She couldn't imagine what the future would be like if she didn't do something.

She has died before and doesn't want to die again.

"Okay, I agree."

Pei Xu nodded, and this time his expression was a little more serious.

"I heard you were feeling unwell, so I called the court doctor to take your pulse. Are you feeling any worse now?"

Pei Xu didn't mention Xie Wanning at all, probably because his relationship with her has not yet eased.

Gu Jiaorong shook her head slightly and whispered, "I'm not feeling unwell at all. I just don't want to be with the princess and the beauties gifted by His Majesty, so I'm just looking for an excuse to leave."

Pei Xu probably didn't expect this to be the reason, and after a while, he laughed out loud.

"You are honest and don't tell me any lies."

Pei Xu had long been accustomed to her being a little liar who was full of lies, but now that he saw her being so honest, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"This is the truth. I have nothing to hide. Even if I concealed it on purpose, could His Majesty really not know?"

Gu Jiaorong swallowed the red bean pastry in her mouth and then slowly replied.

"I don't have that many thoughts, and I don't want to bother with them."

She was not being modest when she said this, but rather had a clear understanding of the situation.

Even after arriving in this world, armed with a wealth of modern knowledge, she never considered flaunting her knowledge in exchange for wealth and status. This was because she knew that if she acted differently, everyone's attention would be focused on her, or she would be coddled like Shen Zhaohua. Either way, neither possibility would end well.

The story of the Heshi Bi is the best answer.

Therefore, most of the time, Gu Jiaorong chose to speak her mind frankly rather than deceive Pei Xu.

In Pei Xu's eyes, the rest of the little lies can also be regarded as little fun.

"I think you are quite clever, otherwise you wouldn't be able to coax me all the time."

There was anger in Pei Xu's words, but his attitude was as if he was treating a little pet, with indulgence and joy.

Gu Jiaorong held the red bean pastry in her hands, her eyes narrowed, and her calves hidden under her skirt swayed slightly with joy and secretiveness, showing that she was very happy eating it.

"That's what the prince wants, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed me to do this."

Gu Jiaorong played the role of being spoiled and arrogant very well, but she was not annoying.

Pei Xu wanted to hold her in his arms as he did before, but he was a new father after all, and even though the baby was not yet visible, he still felt hesitant.

"You!" He could only sigh helplessly and gently warned, "Don't eat too many snacks, otherwise you won't be able to eat soon. In the future, have the court doctor come regularly to check your pulse and see if there is anything you should avoid. Tell everyone below to pay attention to this."

Gu Jiaorong's little face wrinkled up and she didn't agree.

The word "avoid eating" has left her speechless.

In this life, her greatest hobby is eating.

Now asking her to avoid certain foods is nothing but making things difficult for her!

"What? Did I tell you to avoid certain foods? Did I wrong you?"

Pei Xu guessed what she was thinking without asking, so he said with a smile.

"It's just a suggestion. If it has no effect on your body or the fetus, then there's no need to avoid it."

Although Pei Xu cares about the child, he also hopes that Gu Jiaorong is well.

"When the court doctor examined my pulse today, he said that my pulse was stable and there was nothing unusual. I just needed to rest."

The implication is that she doesn't need to avoid certain foods.

Pei Xu couldn't help it and raised his hand to gently pinch her cheek.

"It's OK as long as it's stable, but childbirth is no small matter. A little carelessness can be detrimental to you. It won't hurt to check your pulse a few more times."

Pei Xu's eyes were serious. "I not only want a child, but I also want you to be safe."

Gu Jiaorong didn't expect him to say that. She opened her mouth slightly, but finally nodded obediently.

"I understand, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Gu Jiaorong was not so great as to sacrifice herself for her child. She wanted the child, but she also wanted to live.

Pei Xu's attitude also made her feel a little relieved.

At least Pei Xu still wanted to save her life, no matter what the reason was.

"Rong'er, be good and don't make me worry."

Pei Xu said it again. Even though he had mentioned many times in bed that he wanted Gu Jiaorong to have a baby, after it came true, he inexplicably became a little more worried and did not want Gu Jiaorong to have an accident.
