"Rong'er, why are you looking at me with such affection? Could it be that you can't bear to leave me?"

Pei Xu smiled and spoke deliberately.

Gu Jiaorong: ???

How could she look at him lovingly?

If your eyes are not working well, go see a doctor!

Gu Jiaorong held her breath in her heart, and even the expression on her face became unpredictable.

Seeing her like this, Pei Xu smiled even more happily.

"Then I will stay with you tonight, Rong'er. What do you think?"

It was late at night, and they were alone, a man and a woman. Gu Jiaorong felt something was not right, so she begged him to go back to his own bed and not to come anywhere near them.

After all, the meal has been eaten, so Pei Xu is no longer of any use to him today.

Without waiting for Gu Jiaorong to think of a reason to refuse, Pei Xu stood up.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I have things to do. I'll come see you another day."

Gu Jiaorong is not in good health now, so Pei Xu won’t do anything even if he stays. He is not that beastly.

Besides, he did have something important to do, and he said that just to tease Gu Jiaorong.

"Then I will not see you off, Your Highness."

Gu Jiaorong immediately spoke happily, and she wanted to send Pei Xu away with drums and gongs, and she also did not forget to remind Pei Xu.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget my snacks."

Pei Xu had seen through her thoughts, but did not refuse.

After all, it's just a little fun.

Pei Xu was not so unable to tolerate her, especially since he was in love with Gu Jiaorong right now.

If he hadn't been so exhausted last night and hadn't been so busy with official business today, he would have definitely stayed overnight.

As for Shen Zhaohua, after making such a fuss these days, it's time to give her some cold shoulder.

Pei Xu is not someone who can be manipulated by others. He was able to sit in this high position entirely because of his own abilities.

Gu Jiaorong saw Pei Xu off and then breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Although Pei Xu is a prince, he is not someone who can be easily dealt with.

Gu Jiaorong was not a calculating person, and the only cleverness she had was to ask him to bring back some snacks and remind him to remember her, nothing more than that.

Although Pei Xu was gone, he still had some conscience and asked Fu'an to send him a lot of good things.

All of a sudden, everyone in the palace knew that the new concubine Gu had won the prince's favor.

These servants have always been the ones who flatter the powerful and put down the weak. Now that Gu Jiaorong is in power, the servants dare not make things difficult for her anymore, and her life is getting better and better.

On the other hand, Shen Zhaohua's face turned ugly after waiting for Pei Xu for two days.

"Furong, do you recognize Aunt Gu?"

Shen Zhaohua was playing with the golden hairpin in her hand. This was one of the gifts Pei Xu gave her on the first day she moved into the palace.

She had liked it very much in the past, but now she felt a sense of disgust when looking at the hairpin.

"Miss, that concubine Gu was originally given to our prince by the old princess. She was just waiting to be promoted as a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, so this servant has no close relationship with her."

Furong glanced at Shen Zhaohua and replied cautiously.

This Miss Shen has always been favored, but now it seems that she has lost some of her power.

In the past, after the prince left court, he would come to see Miss Shen, and even talked about state affairs with her without any hesitation, which showed that she was very much in the prince's favor.

Therefore, even though Miss Shen had not officially entered the house and was just living here without any official status, everyone in the mansion thought that Miss Shen would be the future concubine.

Who would have thought that Miss Shen would lose favor so quickly.

It can be seen that the prince's heart is not so easy to win. Even a remarkable woman like Miss Shen cannot win the prince's favor every day.

Furong thought about it this way and felt that being a maid was pretty good.

Although it was a job of serving others, it was better to get married and live a stable life when she was old enough than to fight in the palace.

Shen Zhaohua didn't know what Furong was thinking, so he just sneered when he heard this.

"She is, after all, a very good servant. She is so good at making the prince go to her room for two consecutive days."

But she also knew that women in this era had no other means of survival except relying on men.

Therefore, although she knew that Pei Xu had a wife, she never minded.

As long as Pei Xu only loves her and respects her, that's enough.

Xie Wanning wants that position, so just give it to her for now.

Since Pei Xu was with her, he had never been to Xie Wanning's room, and he also respected her wishes and did not touch her, which also made her confident in their love.

Just at this moment, Gu Jiaorong appeared and actually attracted Pei Xu.

Shen Zhaohua held the golden hairpin with extra force.

"Furong, I want to meet this Aunt Gu."

Shen Zhaohua wanted to see what Gu Jiaorong's strengths were that could make Pei Xu break his promise.

But she forgot that Pei Xu went to Gu Jiaorong's yard not because Gu Jiaorong invited him, but because Pei Xu took the initiative to go there.

"Miss, this isn't right, is it? If the prince knew about this, he would definitely be angry."

Furong looked embarrassed. She actually couldn't understand many of Miss Shen's views, but she felt that Miss Shen was quite nice to her, so she was willing to remind Miss Shen.

If a quarrel really breaks out and the prince gets angry, Miss Shen will have no chance of keeping him.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just going to see his little lover. I won't do anything. Since he has done such a thing, he shouldn't be afraid of others knowing."

Shen Zhaohua chuckled, and her aura seemed even greater than that of the main wife.

Furong just thought it was outrageous.

Aunt Gu was brought up by the princess herself, and the prince likes her very much. Miss Shen is an outsider after all, and she shouldn't act like this.

But she didn't say that, otherwise Miss Shen would have grabbed her and talked about equality.

Furong just felt that Miss Shen was too naive, but she was also curious, what kind of environment could produce someone like Miss Shen?

Shen Zhaohua had no idea that a little maid could have such thoughts.

"Furong, if your prince really blames you, just say that I was the one who went there, and I will take all the responsibility."

Shen Zhaohua felt that Pei Xu did this because he was angry with him, and he absolutely couldn't bear to punish himself.

After all, Pei Xu likes me so much.

"Since the young lady has said so, I naturally have no reason to stop you."

Furong sighed and stopped trying to persuade her.

As the saying goes, good words can hardly persuade a damned person.

Shen Zhaohua already had this idea in mind, and no one could stop him.

Furong has been in the palace for many years and has seen such things before.

"I know, don't worry."

Shen Zhaohua understood what she meant, and she would not implicate others.

If Pei Xu really fell in love with someone else, she would withdraw.

But if Gu Jiaorong was determined to destroy her love, then she couldn't be blamed.

Shen Zhaohua had a plan in mind, and when he went to Gu Jiaorong's yard, he looked very righteous.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know that trouble had already come to her.

After lying down for a day and then taking a nap, she felt much better, so she and Yueyan went to bask in the sun in the yard.
