Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince
Chapter 9 Shen Zhaohua
"Princess, the guy from Liuyunxuan really went to see Aunt Gu."
Chunzhi happily told Xie Wanning the news.
The princess's move was brilliant. She solved Shen Zhaohua's problem without using any soldiers.
Xie Wanning was not so happy. She always felt that this might not be a good thing.
The prince had always liked Shen Zhaohua, but he didn't stay at her house every night. However, in the past two days, he went to see Gu Jiaorong every day and made her unable to get out of bed.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanning's eyes darkened.
From now on, whenever Aunt Gu came to the prince's bedchamber, even if the prince didn't leave, he would send someone to bring her contraceptive soup.
Xie Wanning felt that Pei Xu would not bother with her for such a small matter. Besides, the wife had not yet given birth to a legitimate son, so how could a mere concubine be pregnant first?
"Have you sent someone to keep an eye on it?"
Xie Wanning spoke lightly, her hands still continuing to prune the branches.
"We have people watching over there all the time, so don't worry, Princess."
Chunzhi replied with a smile. She had long disliked Shen Zhaohua. He relied on the prince's favor to act so noble, which was simply disgusting!
If the prince didn't like her, what would she be like as a woman of unknown origin?
"That's fine."
Xie Wanning was also looking forward to seeing what the reaction would be when an old love and a new favorite met each other.

When Gu Jiaorong learned that Shen Zhaohua came to see her, she just blinked and didn't say anything.
Yue Yan, who was standing aside, thought of eight hundred possibilities in her mind.
Finally, she thought, "Sister, could it be that Miss Shen is unhappy that you stole the prince's favor and is deliberately trying to embarrass you?"
This is not impossible. After all, Miss Shen's behavior has long been spread privately. She is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes and will not allow the prince to like any woman other than her.
In the past, the prince doted on her and indulged her, so others naturally did not dare to question her.
Now this Miss Shen seems to have lost her power, and I wonder how many people are waiting to laugh at her.
Shen Zhaohua acted as if he knew nothing and swaggered in front of Gu Jiaorong.
"Are you the new Concubine Gu?"
Shen Zhaohua was beautiful, with eyebrows like a crescent moon, a face like the morning glow, red lips and pomegranate teeth, but there was a hint of pride between her eyebrows, which showed that she did not think much of this ancient woman.
However, this is also in line with Shen Zhaohua's personality.
The original novel states that Shen Zhaohua is not a particularly compassionate person, nor does she ever consider saving these ancient women. She is aloof and somewhat compassionate, occasionally looking at them and sighing with pity, but she is always cold and indifferent, never truly sympathetic, and only has eyes for Pei Xu.
It was the same when she saw Gu Jiaorong now.
She also classified Gu Jiaorong as: ignorant, someone who only knew how to cling to men, and a product of feudal society.
"I've heard of Miss Shen's name for a long time. Now that I've met her, I realize she's just as the rumors said. She's a woman with a lot of personality."
Gu Jiaorong smiled gently, without any extreme emotions.
She is just a useless employee.
Perhaps Shen Zhaohua is more ambitious than her. After all, Shen Zhaohua wants to be the boss alone.
Gu Jiaorong remembered that Shen Zhaohua provided Pei Xu with many novel ideas and thoughts, which made Pei Xu appreciate her even more.
Gu Jiaorong had no such plan. It was already difficult for her to be a sweet talker, let alone a military advisor.
Besides, she only received one salary and would never work another job.
If Shen Zhaohua wants to roll, let her roll it herself.
"I misjudged you. I thought you were some delicate little girl. I didn't expect you to be so selfless."
Shen Zhaohua did not expect Gu Jiaorong to react like this, but her words were still condescending.
In her heart, she always believed that she was different from the women of this era.
Even though Gu Jiaorong was neither humble nor arrogant, she was just a little woman who used her body in exchange for a moment of affection from a man.
"Miss Shen, what you said is not right. After all, I was once the old princess's servant. What kind of noble people have I not seen? Besides, we are in the palace, not on the street or in front of a small stall. If I am so timid even when meeting someone, what will happen to me in the future?"
Gu Jiaorong refuted her words with a smile. She had no intention of fighting with her colleague. She just hoped that Shen Zhaohua would know not to bother her unless necessary.
Going to work is already annoying, and having to deal with colleagues makes it even more annoying.
It’s a pity that Shen Zhaohua didn’t understand what she meant and thought that Gu Jiaorong was mocking her for being short-sighted.
This was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into Shen Zhaohua's heart and hurt her.
When Shen Zhaohua first came to the palace, he really looked like a country bumpkin who had never been to the city.
After all, what you see in TV dramas is completely different from reality.
She thought she had forgotten this incident, but when Gu Jiaorong mocked her subtly, those scenes were vividly played before her eyes.
Shen Zhaohua clenched his fists tightly, and his disgust towards Gu Jiaorong grew even stronger.
"Mrs. Gu has a very sharp tongue. She is so good at speaking. I think she can please Pei Xu very much. No wonder Pei Xu came to you for two consecutive days."
Shen Zhaohua was still arrogant. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Gu Jiaorong with some contempt.
At this time, she no longer talked about equality and respect.
Not everyone can call Pei Xu's name. She called it out so openly, and was also telling Gu Jiaorong that she was no match for her.
Even if Pei Xu was addicted to beauty, it would not last long because of Gu Jiaorong's coquettish and foolish flattery.
"It's not up to a mere concubine like me to decide where the prince is going. If Miss Shen is coming to me about this, why not ask the prince why he doesn't come to see you?"
Gu Jiaorong looked serious. She didn't think Shen Zhaohua could get an answer from her.
Because she didn't know why the boss came over for two consecutive days.
This is not a good thing for Xianyu.
Shen Zhaohua felt that Gu Jiaorong was provoking her.
When she looked at Gu Jiaorong's smile, she felt that she was just a villain who had succeeded.
"I don't need to ask Pei Xu. I also know that Pei Xu came to you just for the sake of novelty. He loves me and only me in his heart."
Shen Zhaohua was very confident when she said this. She had even surpassed the princess, so how could she not be able to surpass a concubine?
But she forgot that Pei Xu already hated Xie Wanning.
Even without her, Pei Xu would have other reasons to avoid Xie Wanning.
But now with Shen Zhaohua, his reasons became more reasonable.
After all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines and to be fickle.
No one would not understand.
Even if Xie Wanning returned to her parents' home crying, her parents would tell her to be patient.
Otherwise, why would Xie Wanning be so impatient to promote Gu Jiaorong, because she knew that in the fight for favor in the harem, she could only rely on herself.
