Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Outside the window, birds are singing and flowers are blooming.

Gu Jiaorong's eyelashes trembled slightly and her eyes slowly opened.

"Yue Yan."

She knew that Pei Xu had left long ago. He was a diligent man, unlike her who would stay in bed even after waking up.

Now that the weather is getting hot, it's uncomfortable to lie in bed, so she stopped staying in bed.

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell?"

When Yue Yan heard the noise, she came in immediately, her eyes full of worry.

From the very beginning, she was the one who took care of Gu Jiaorong's daily life. She also knew how troublesome the prince was. Now that Gu Jiaorong was pregnant and the prince was staying here, how could she not be worried.

"I'm fine, my throat is just a little dry."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head and sat half leaning, her face still looking a little tired, obviously she didn't sleep well last night.

Yueyan brought her a teacup and fed her some warm water, then she said, "Auntie caught a fever last night. When the prince left, he left a message saying that he had ordered Fu'an to bring some ice from the ice room so that Auntie would feel better."

Pei Xu originally planned to send her some ice, but he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable due to the cold weather she was pregnant, so he planned to do it later. However, he didn't expect that she was so hot that she couldn't sleep well at night.

"understood."

Gu Jiaorong nodded listlessly, looking listless.

Yueyan felt a little distressed when she saw her like this. It had only been less than two months, and she still had to suffer for another seven or eight months.

"Let me help you wash up first. Fuan will bring the ice over later and it will be cool."

Gu Jiaorong let Yueyan help her wash up, and then she sat in the shade and ate. However, the weather was hot and she had morning sickness, so her appetite was not very good.

Seeing that her face had become smaller, the people below also became nervous.

Shaoyao also tried to coax her to eat more. Now that she couldn't eat, she discussed with the cook to make some stomach-nourishing porridge, so that vomiting every day would not be a big deal.

"Auntie, I asked Wang Sheng to make you some Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. I sent it to you after it was warm. Please drink some."

Shaoyao brought over a small bowl. It looked like there wasn't much food. Although Gu Jiaorong had no appetite, she didn't refuse.

She sipped the porridge in small sips, and Shaoyao took the fan from Yueyan's hand.

Although Gu Jiaorong was more afraid of heat than others, she usually didn't want to trouble them and never complained. After all, there were no fans or air conditioners here, and it would be embarrassing for them if she said anything.

Pei Xuxi was busy, so even if he came every day, he would come back late and leave early, so it was not certain that Gu Jiaorong would be awake all the time.

"Auntie, please bear with it for a while. The ice from the ice room will be delivered soon."

Shaoyao comforted him softly, but she also blamed Fu'an for being slow in her heart. The palace had not used much ice in recent years, and servants like them were not qualified. The prince was often not in the palace, and he was not indulged in pleasure, so there must be enough ice in the ice room.

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil and he will appear." Shaoyao had just finished complaining in her heart when Fu'an came with ice.

"Auntie, I am late. I hope you will not be offended."

Fuan bent his body slightly with a respectful attitude.

"Master Fu'an, you are too polite. I know you are busy."

Gu Jiaorong put down the small bowl in her hand and waved her hand lazily. She had been so lazy since the beginning of summer, and the people below didn't remind her.

"No matter how busy I am, delivering ice to Auntie is a big deal. I will put the ice cubes in place for Auntie first."

Seeing that Gu Jiaorong's pretty face was already flushed with heat, Fu'an didn't dare to delay any longer. He could say polite words at any time.

Besides, Gu Jiaorong has a good temper and will not blame him for this.

Gu Jiaorong said, "Thank you," and said no more.

After the ice cubes were placed in place, Gu Jiaorong immediately felt cool and relaxed.

"Auntie, from now on, I will bring you ice twice a day, morning and evening. If you can't come because of an emergency, I will ask Fuquan, who is also familiar to Shaoyao, to come. If it's someone else, please be careful."

Fu'an carefully reminded that now everyone in the capital knows that the prince has a child, even if it is only born to a favorite concubine and the gender is not yet known, but there are already many people who are eyeing her.

"Oh, look at my poor memory. I actually forgot what the prince told me. This is the sour jujube cake that the prince asked me to bring to my aunt. The prince said that if my aunt likes it, I will send it to her again in the future."

Fuan slapped his forehead, took out the sour jujube cake from the food box and handed it to Shaoyao.

Gu Jiaorong didn't mind, and said with a crooked eye: "It's not your fault. It's hard for you to bring me ice and buy snacks for me. And the prince, he's so busy, but he still thinks of me."

Yueyan had been with Gu Jiaorong for a long time and had made some progress. While they were talking, she turned and went into the room and grabbed a handful of money.

When Gu Jiaorong saw her come out, she gave her a wink and walked up to Fu'an.

"Manager Fu'an, you've all worked hard today. The weather is hot, so take the money and take everyone out for some tea."

Fuan took the money and thanked him with a smile.

"My aunt is so thoughtful, so I will accept it."

If it were Fu'an alone, he would definitely not accept the money, but he was with a group of people who were doing hard labor. Now that he had accepted the money, he distributed some of it to his subordinates, as they also remembered the kindness of his aunt.

Even though Fu'an is surrounded by loyal servants and is treated well by the palace, if the master treats the servant well, the servant will serve him more wholeheartedly.

When Gu Jiaorong needs them in the future, Fu'an will naturally help Gu Jiaorong win the hearts of the people.

Although Gu Jiaorong's identity has not changed, as the prince's confidant, he knows the prince. Since Gu Jiaorong is pregnant with the prince's child, it must be different, and he must serve her carefully.

After Fu'an left, Gu Jiaorong pinched a piece of sour jujube cake and put it in her mouth. She didn't know where Pei Xu heard this from, but this sour jujube cake was more to her taste.

"Auntie, the prince must have you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you ice cubes and sour jujube cakes. When the young master is born, I'm sure your life will be better."

Yueyan was grinning so hard that her teeth were visible, and she had apparently forgotten what she had said in the morning about the prince and his concubine being unwell and wanting him to stay overnight.

"How can you speculate about the prince's thoughts? You should be more sensible in the future to avoid speaking out of turn."

Gu Jiaorong glanced at her and said lightly.

In fact, Yueyan has become much more stable, but she is still young and a bit lively.

Gu Jiaorong liked her liveliness and didn't restrict her too much. Shaoyao and Fanglan didn't care about her either, and occasionally treated her like a younger sister and coaxed her.

"I think what Yue Yan said is right. If the prince doesn't have the concubine in his heart, why would he do all these things? Even if it's for the young master, just send some ice cubes. When it comes to food and drink, there are always servants who worry about it."

Shaoyao smiled and put the warm tea next to Gu Jiaorong's hand so that she would have no tea when eating the sour jujube cake.

"This sour jujube cake looks so exquisitely made. It doesn't look like it was bought from a random shop. Fu'an came late today, so he must have put a lot of thought into it."

Shaoyao's words made sense, and Gu Jiaorong had no way to refute them. She could only scold her, "You're so talkative."
