Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong turned her head and looked at Pei Xu, as if trying to see worry in his eyes.

But Pei Xu's eyes were as calm as water, and there was nothing unusual.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't tell whether he was too good at hiding his emotions or was just being polite to her.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Giving birth to a child is always dangerous. Since others can survive, I won't die either."

Gu Jiaorong said this, but she was extremely worried in her heart.

Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Even in modern society, there are women who die in the delivery room, not to mention that the medical conditions here are not as good as those of modern times.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiaorong suddenly understood what Pei Xu meant.

Therefore, she continued, "Since Your Majesty is worried, I will ask the court physician to come and see more often. This way, if anything happens, it can be dealt with promptly."

Pei Xu was satisfied after hearing her words.

"Don't be bothered. You won't be asked to do those trivial matters yourself. The servants are here for you."

Pei Xu held her hand, his tone gentle. At this moment, they looked a bit like a couple.

But Gu Jiaorong didn't think so. She always paid attention to the degree of measure and grasped the scale. She never got carried away because Pei Xu treated her differently. She knew in her heart that Pei Xu was an important official and a member of the royal family. He only pursued power in his heart.

Pei Xu saw no one except the powerful. He stood high above, and even if he was willing to look down slightly, he might not be able to see all living beings.

"The prince has already given Shaoyao and Fanglan to me. Shaoyao and the others are very considerate, so I am not worried at all."

Honestly, Gu Jiaorong couldn't find any fault with either of them in their actions. But she changed the subject and said with a smile, "Originally, I wasn't afraid either, but Your Highness seems very worried about me."

She looked at Pei Xu with a smile in her eyes, and there was a hint of teasing in that smile.

I don’t know if it’s because of this child, but there seems to be a difference between the two of them.

"Of course I'm worried about you."

Pei Xu admitted it generously, and there was nothing unworthy of acknowledgment in this book.

"Even after all I've said, Rong'er still doesn't believe that I'm worried about you?"

Gu Jiaorong smiled and did not deny it.

After all, Pei Xu has no children yet, so he should pay attention to his first child.

"Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy."

Gu Jiaorong didn't have time to take a nap today. She spent too much time with Xie Wanting, and then had to deal with Pei Xu here. She was indeed a little tired now.

Pei Xu saw that she looked tired and knew that she was not trying to coax him.

"It's still early for dinner. Go to bed. I'll call you when it's time."

Pei Xu had no intention of leaving. He was in the prime of his life now, so how could he bear to go back?

Gu Jiaorong's little head had unconsciously drooped down, and she no longer had the energy to discuss with him whether to go back or not.

Pei Xu walked over directly, picked her up and took her back to the room.

"Your Majesty..."

"Well, I'm here."

Pei Xu whispered, "Sleep peacefully."

-

When Gu Jiaorong woke up again, it was already dark. She subconsciously called out, "Yue Yan..."

Her throat was so dry that her voice was a little hoarse.

"woke up?"

A low voice sounded, with some pampering.

"If you sleep any longer, you might miss tomorrow's breakfast."

Gu Jiaorong was not fully awake yet, and her words were tender and coquettish.

"Your Highness, you are talking nonsense. How could I possibly sleep that long? Even if I slept for a long time, it's Your Highness' fault. If I weren't pregnant with Your Highness's child, I wouldn't be so lazy."

Gu Jiaorong is very good at shirking responsibility, and no one is to blame for anything anyway.

If Pei Xu refused to admit it, she would blame the fault on the baby in her belly.

Child: That’s great. I haven’t even been born yet, but I’ve already taken the blame for my mother. In the future, I’ll be an old employee who has both age and experience.

Pei Xu did not deny it, but followed her words and coaxed her: "Yes, Rong'er is right, it's all my fault."

He walked to the bedside, bent down and kissed Gu Jiaorong, but at this time, he was obviously much more restrained than before and became gentler.

Gu Jiaorong hung her arms around his neck, leaning against him, her voice even more tender.

"Your Majesty, I am hungry, and the child is hungry too."

She knew best what to say to touch Pei Xu's heart, and she would not miss such an opportunity.

Sure enough, when Pei Xu heard this, he immediately said, "I won't bother you anymore. I'll have someone set up dinner."

Gu Jiaorong was free, so she started to tidy up her clothes and prepare to go out for dinner. She said she was hungry, but it wasn't an excuse, she was really hungry.

Today at Xie Wanning's place, she was on guard and didn't eat anything.

After all, Xie Wanning was not as tolerant as she appeared to be. She might have hated her to death in her heart. Although poisoning the snacks was a stupid method, she might be able to do it.

Gu Jiaorong wanted to live, to live for a long time, so she would never eat anything she wanted outside the yard.

After Pei Xu gave Fu'an instructions, he came back and saw Gu Jiaorong sitting on the bed in a daze, so he hugged her in his arms.

"Rong'er, are you waiting for me to pick you up from bed?"

Pei Xu naturally held her in his arms, like a passionate lover.

Gu Jiaorong also cooperated and let him hold her, as if she had no bones, with tenderness and affection in her eyes.

"If Your Majesty is willing, I would be more than happy to do so."

Gu Jiaorong was lazy to begin with and would rather sit than stand. Moreover, she had just woken up and was not fully conscious yet, so she was even more lazy to move.

So Pei Xu carried her out of the room.

Fuan and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at their master.

It was not until Pei Xu put Gu Jiaorong on the chair that Fu'an heard the noise and dared to look up slightly and take a peek.

"Master, do you want the servants to serve you?"

Fu'an asked in a low voice. After all, Aunt Gu is different now. She is pregnant with the young master, and her future will definitely be different.

"You all don't have to go down."

Pei Xu waved his hand with a calm tone.

He knew that Gu Jiaorong didn't like being watched while eating, and usually only asked Yue Yan to serve her, but every time he came, Yue Yan would not come close to him.

As for these, he never asked about them. After all, Yueyan was different from Shaoyao and others. She had a deep friendship with Gu Jiaorong.

"Since you're hungry, Rong'er, then start eating."

Pei Xu didn't know if Gu Jiaorong's taste had changed after she became pregnant, so he cautiously picked up a lighter dish for her.

"It's not suitable to eat too much greasy food at night. The court doctor also said that if it's too greasy, it might make you feel nauseous. So, I asked the kitchen to make something lighter. You can try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll ask them to make it again."

Pei Xu is not afraid of causing trouble for others. Everyone in this mansion serves him alone, and he is the only real master of Prince Su's mansion.

Gu Jiaorong didn't expect him to be so attentive and even asked the court doctor. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it.

Now that she has been in the workplace for a long time, she has already learned to endure.

"Your Highness is so considerate. I am really terrified, but I am also happy. I am happy that Your Highness cares about me and doesn't want me to suffer any more."
