Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong is so cute.

Pei Xu only felt that the heart in his chest became restless, as if a huge wave was surging towards him, and his eyes became darker and darker.

The pretty girl in front of him seemed unaware of what was happening. She put her arms around his neck, breathing softly, trying to calm herself down.

But Pei Xu did not let her go. Instead, he raised his hand, pinched her chin, and pressed his thumb on her red lips.

"Rong'er..."

His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes became deeper, as if there was a deep pool hidden in them.

Gu Jiaorong turned her head slightly, refusing to look at him again.

"My Lord, it's a bit hot, please let me go."

Gu Jiaorong's brows were slightly furrowed, and there was still a watery look in her beautiful eyes.

Pei Xu knew that she was hot, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat from Gu Jiaorong's forehead.

Gu Jiaorong didn't care at first, but when she glanced casually, she saw that Pei Xu was holding the handkerchief that she had asked Fu An to send to him before.

"Your Highness, do you still keep this handkerchief?"

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in her tone. She thought Pei Xu would throw away the handkerchief.

After all, this was just something she gave to Fu'an casually, and Pei Xu must have been able to see it.

Every time Pei Xu met her, he never mentioned the things she asked Fu An to take back, so she assumed that Pei Xu had thrown the things away.

"How could I throw away something Rong'er gave me?"

Pei Xu chuckled softly, his slender fingers lingering on her cheek, and the handkerchief was put away again.

The confusion in Gu Jiaorong's eyes did not disappear. She really couldn't understand why Pei Xu kept the handkerchief. She was just an insignificant person and had no use to her.

Pei Xu pretended not to see it and played with her slender hands.

"Why didn't Rong'er respond to my words?"

Gu Jiaorong didn't know how to respond. She could never see through Pei Xu.

"What does Your Majesty want to hear from me?"

Gu Jiaorong's eyes turned and she looked at Pei Xu and asked back.

As they looked at each other, the air around them seemed to be stagnant, and Gu Jiaorong regretted asking that question. She was always not vigilant enough and not cautious enough.

Even though she knew that this man was the one who controlled everything and she had to save her life, she still became too proud of herself.

Pei Xu's scorching heat corroded her, making her unable to move. She was like fish on a chopping board, depending entirely on Pei Xu's mood.

Finally, Pei Xu opened his mouth and uttered a few words softly.

"I want to hear that Rong'er is also happy."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jiaorong immediately turned into a quail.

She felt that Pei Xu was unreasonable!

Pei Xu is a master at playing with emotions. Not only does he flirt between the three of them, he also calmly accepts the three beauties sent by the emperor, and now he wants her heart.

Even though Pei Xu didn't say it explicitly, Gu Jiaorong heard it clearly.

She bit her lip and didn't reply, with an unknown red tint at the corners of her eyes.

Pei Xu's fingers touched her red lips and gently probed into her mouth. His whole body enveloped her in shadow, as if telling her that this game would not end until he got tired of it.

Gu Jiaorong tilted her head slightly and looked at the handsome man. The redness at the corners of her eyes became more obvious, and water appeared in her beautiful eyes, while her hands tightly grasped the man's clothes.

"Rong'er looks so pitiful and cute."

Pei Xu sighed, retracted his fingers, took out a handkerchief and wiped them.

Gu Jiaorong just looked at him with a dull look in her eyes, she had not yet come to her senses.

After wiping his hands, Pei Xu kissed her in a very good mood and stopped tormenting her. After all, this time was different from the past. If she was really angry, there was nothing he could do.

He held Gu Jiaorong in his arms, letting her stare blankly in his arms, with great patience.

But he had never done such a thing before. He was quite restrained. When he was young, he had plenty of energy, but he spent it practicing martial arts and reading books. He never went looking for women. Now, hugging a woman and daydreaming like this was a waste of time for him.

But now, he is willing to spend time holding Gu Jiaorong.

After a long time, Gu Jiaorong gently pushed him.

"My Lord, please let me go. I want to sleep."

Gu Jiaorong's tone was calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

She is good at playing dumb. In the workplace, pretending to be dumb occasionally is not bad and is very useful.

It was already late at night. It was indeed not the right time to talk about anything else. Gu Jiaorong was already drowsy. Even if she didn't sleep, there was still a child who needed to sleep.

Thinking of this, Pei Xu's eyes softened. In her belly was their child, the child he always talked about, and the child he had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Go to bed, it's getting late."

He put Gu Jiaorong on the bed, took off his coat, and lay down beside her.

"My Lord, aren't you leaving?"

Gu Jiaorong's eyelids had drooped and her voice became sticky.

Pei Xu lowered his eyes to look at her. When he lay down, she subconsciously grasped the corner of his clothes, but the confused little girl didn't know it yet and asked herself why she didn't leave.

"No, I'll stay with you."

As soon as Pei Xu finished speaking, her eyes closed.

He must have been really sleepy, as he had to force himself to even ask that question.

Pei Xu looked at her peaceful sleeping face, stretched out his fingers and stroked her inch by inch, with a dark look in his eyes that could not be erased.

Gu Jiaorong's question rang in his ears again, why treat her so well?

Maybe it was from that first glance that things became different.

Pei Xu knew what kind of person he was. He had been feared since birth. His father was the brother of the current emperor, the favorite son of the previous emperor, and had a good reputation within the court. His mother came from a prominent family, the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe. If his father had the heart to seize the throne, it would be easy for him to do so.

But his father never had such thoughts. Even when he taught him martial arts and literacy since he was a child, he asked him to defend his country and fight for the people, rather than let his hands be stained with the blood of his relatives.

When Pei Xu was young, he was also full of passion. Until his father died, his mother lived in a Buddhist temple for a long time. Later, she left Gu Jiaorong to him, moved out of Kyoto and returned to her fiefdom.

Before he was born, his parents spent five years of loving time in their fiefdom. After he was born, an imperial edict summoned his parents back to Beijing, and they were never able to go back.

Thinking of this, Pei Xu retracted his fingers. He couldn't...

This is good, he and Gu Jiaorong are good like this.

What's more, the palace already knows about Gu Jiaorong's existence. If there is anyone else, it will not be good for anyone.

Pei Xu stared closely at the person in front of him. He did not regret taking that look, nor did he regret what he did afterwards. He just hoped that she would not blame him.

If it weren't for him, Gu Jiaorong might have been able to live a stable life, but with this child, Gu Jiaorong was destined not to be able to do so.

His burning hand fell on her lower abdomen. The fetus was not obvious at the moment. Instead, Gu Jiaorong frowned slightly and muttered uncomfortably, "Hot."

"You're really spoiled."

Pei Xu sighed softly, and finally let her go, telling her to sleep peacefully.

He also lay back down, but he still couldn't sleep. He looked at the person beside him in the moonlight that sneaked into the room through the window.
