Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Pei Xu didn't care whether Gu Jiaorong was really happy or not, he just smiled at her.

Gu Jiaorong didn't care what he thought and just lowered her head to eat. She was really hungry and didn't care about exchanging witty remarks with Pei Xu.

Although Pei Xu had a poor appetite, he loved watching her eat and always felt that the rice in her bowl tasted better.

Gu Jiaorong hadn't eaten with him for a long time, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she noticed his gaze.

"My Lord, could you please stop looking at me?"

Gu Jiaorong's red lips were slightly pursed, her voice sounded both angry and coquettish, and her eyes seemed to be filled with hooks.

She knew that Pei Xu valued the child and would not touch her at this time, so she deliberately acted like this.

"Rong'er is so beautiful, I'm so happy. How can I not look at her?"

Pei Xu asked back, not feeling ashamed at all.

Gu Jiaorong didn't expect him to say that and was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, please look at me if you like. After a while, maybe you won't like me anymore, and won't want to look at me anymore."

Gu Jiaorong's words were not sincere. Since she had decided to make plans for herself, it was impossible for her to push Pei Xu away. She wanted to plant a seed in Pei Xu's heart while there was still a chance, so that he would not have the heart to kill her.

"Why not? Even if it takes a while, I'll still like it."

Pei Xu raised his eyebrows. He had always indulged Gu Jiaorong's little thoughts, and now he just treated it as playing with her.

"Don't worry, Rong'er. If I had other thoughts, I wouldn't bother to coax you here today or tomorrow."

What he said was true. With his status, he could do anything with just his mouth. So what if Gu Jiaorong was dissatisfied?

Everything she got was given by Pei Xu, and Pei Xu could take it back at any time.

"Your Majesty, I naturally know, but I am just afraid."

Gu Jiaorong spoke coquettishly, her eyes became gentle as she looked at Pei Xu, and her voice became softer.

"Today, I have seen the three beauties that Your Majesty has gifted me. They are truly beautiful, and they are from the Ministry of Education. How can I compare to them? Even if Your Majesty likes them, it is understandable."

Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu had no interest in them, otherwise he would not have kept them in the backyard for so long without ever seeing them.

No one in the palace could restrain Pei Xu, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Just because you don’t like it today doesn’t mean you won’t like it tomorrow.

"Rong'er, just ask for whatever you want. I can't refuse you. Why bother dragging them into this?"

Pei Xu snorted and laughed, the indulgence in his tone becoming more and more obvious.

Gu Jiaorong was very dissatisfied when she heard this.

"Your Highness, how could you think of me like this? That's not what I meant. I just care too much about you and don't want anyone to take you away."

Gu Jiaorong was already used to telling lies, and she didn't blush at all when she said such sweet words.

Although Pei Xu didn't believe her, he tacitly cooperated with her and continued playing.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, Rong'er, please forgive me."

Gu Jiaorong turned her head to the other side and said coquettishly: "It's not fun at all. I don't want to play with the prince anymore."

The words fell lightly, as if everything that had just happened was just a joke.

Pei Xu was not angry about this, he even picked up some food for her and served her.

"Since you don't want to play anymore, let's eat well."

Pei Xu was in a particularly good mood today, which made Gu Jiaorong a little uncomfortable.

Compared with the warm relationship between Gu Jiaorong and Pei Xu, Shen Zhaohua's room was indeed desolate.

Ever since she jumped into the lake, Furong felt even more resentful towards her. Except when she needed to take care of her, she would usually hide somewhere else.

Especially that night, after dinner, Shen Zhaohua was the only one left in the room.

Shen Zhaohua has never gotten used to living here since she moved in. She doesn't like living in such a big yard, nor does she like the empty room, which makes her feel like she doesn't belong.

In the past, Furong could still accompany her, but now no one is willing to look at her.

Shen Zhaohua shed tears silently. After jumping into the lake, she took several days to recover, but still could not find a way to return home.

At this moment, she was extremely regretful. If she had known that she would end up in this situation, she should not have come to Pei Xu with the recipe for gunpowder. She only thought that Pei Xu was as rumored, a gentle and powerful person who could protect her. However, she did not expect that everything she suffered now was caused by Pei Xu.

"I regret it so much. I want to go home, Mom and Dad. I miss you."

Shen Zhaohua hid in the quilt and cried. She felt particularly bad today.

Gu Jiaorong became pregnant with Pei Xu's child, and her love was completely dead.

When Shen Zhaohua first heard the news, she felt like the sky was falling. If the person who jumped into the lake still had illusions, she would never have such an idea now.

"Why, even after traveling through time and space and becoming a unique existence in this world, I still can't find my own happiness?"

Shen Zhaohua couldn't understand why. She knew how to make gunpowder, could draw a more effective waterwheel, and knew a lot of knowledge that was not available in this era. Yet, she couldn't keep Pei Xu's heart, and even wanted to wait for him to come back.

"Shen Zhaohua, you are so stupid. Others already have children, but you are still thinking that if he is willing to come back, you will forgive him."

Shen Zhaohua murmured softly, her tears could no longer be controlled and burst out from her eyes.

The two words Pei Xu could still hurt her.

During the long night, she was filled with endless sorrow and could not sleep at all.

So she got up from the bed. Since she couldn't sleep, she decided to do something else.

She needed to think carefully about how she got here and how she could get home.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Shen Zhaohua wrote down everything and began to analyze the possibility of returning.

Common ways of time travel in novels are either unusual celestial phenomena, falling into the water due to a car accident, or the presence of some special item.

She naturally didn't have any special items, and she had already tried jumping into the lake, which didn't work, so the only possible explanation was the unusual celestial phenomena and the car accident...

A car accident was impossible, she couldn't even get out of the yard.

It is even more difficult to predict whether there will be any unusual celestial phenomena, so we can only wait and see.

The more Shen Zhaohua analyzed, the more painful she became. Could it be that she really couldn't go back?

If Pei Xu loved her, she would naturally not want to go back. But Pei Xu no longer loved her, and even had a child with another woman, so it was impossible for her to stay for Pei Xu.

Gu Jiaorong is different from Xie Wanning. Although she is just a concubine, she has won the heart of the prince. Xie Wanning is firmly in the position of princess, but she is not favored.

Even if Shen Zhaohua was not very worldly-wise, she could still see this.

If not for this, she would not have gone to Gu Jiaorong's yard to make trouble again and again, just because she felt a sense of crisis.

Gu Jiaorong is the one who can really snatch Pei Xu away. Now it seems that her idea is indeed right, otherwise Pei Xu would not have made her pregnant.

After all, that was Pei Xu, who was also cruel and ungrateful to her.
