Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

No matter how worried Pei Xu was, he had to attend the Qiqiao Banquet.

Fortunately, Gu Jiaorong is already three months pregnant, so she is not afraid of going out.

Even so, Pei Xu still brought Chu Fenghua with him. Even though Chu Fenghua could only wait outside the palace gate, it was an injustice for this genius doctor.

Although Xie Wanning went with him, she did not ride with Pei Xu. She even acted very generously, which surprised Pei Xu.

Since getting on the carriage, Pei Xu fell into deep thought, even frowning slightly.

"Is Your Majesty still worried about what will happen after entering the palace?"

Gu Jiaorong has calmed down and is no longer so nervous.

"Rong'er, do you feel that Xie Wanning is a little different?"

Pei Xu played with her hand, his voice lazy and casual, obviously not taking Xie Wanning seriously.

Gu Jiaorong had already noticed it, but she had no evidence, so she asked, "Why does your Majesty think the princess is different?"

If we were to ask who in this mansion was most familiar with Xie Wanning, apart from the people she brought with her, it would only be Pei Xu, who was constantly harassed by Xie Wanning.

"I can't explain it, but I feel like she's changed a lot now. She wasn't this calm and dignified when she saw me before."

Pei Xu frowned. This feeling was too weird.

When Gu Jiaorong heard Pei Xu's words, she also had some ideas in mind.

Something might be wrong with Xie Wanning now, and Chunzhi's death is too strange.

"Your Highness, Chunzhi is dead, did you know?"

Gu Jiaorong seemed to be asking casually, but Pei Xu had already grasped the key.

"I know. I'll send someone to check."

Pei Xu put her hand to his lips and kissed it again and again, and his eyes became deep.

"Rong'er, I was right about you."

He was thankful again that he had caught a glimpse of her through the window and had kept her in his mind.

Although stupid people are easy to control, it is not good if they are too stupid.

The person sleeping beside him should be as delicate as Rong'er, and also playful, cute and clever.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but want to pull her hand back. She felt Pei Xu's lips were so hot, which seemed very different from usual. But the man who had always been cold and aloof had become gentle without knowing when, even that little bit of evil in him was hidden.

"Your Highness, please be careful. We are going to the palace to see the emperor. It would be disrespectful if we were not dressed properly."

Even though she knew that Pei Xu would not lose his mind and drag her into the carriage to do something stupid, they were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats clearly, and she really didn't know what to do.

Pei Xu naturally guessed what she was thinking. He brought the white jade fingers in his hand to her lips and kissed them repeatedly, while his deep eyes were always looking at her.

"Rong'er, I won't do anything out of line, but you're in my arms, how can I remain calm?"

He is good at saying sweet words, especially when he puts on a gentle mask, he can bewitch people even more.

But Gu Jiaorong had long been accustomed to his sweet talk in bed, and now only the tips of her ears were faintly stained with red, while her pretty face remained calm.

"If the prince is willing, he can do it."

Gu Jiaorong didn't want to talk much with him. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was very nervous inside.

She knew very well how powerful the emperor was in this era, and how insignificant she was. Pei Xu couldn't pay attention to her all the time, and when Pei Xu couldn't see her, she had to remain calm.

"But I don't want to, Rong'er. When I see you, you are the only one in my heart and eyes. I can't think of anything else."

Pei Xu rested his chin on her shoulder and sniffed her fragrance carefully.

He is always so charming, as if he is really sincere.

But Gu Jiaorong refused to believe it and stuck to her bottom line.

Love is no different from anything else. Once you give your heart to someone and lose the bet, there is no way back. There is no possibility of recovery.

Gu Jiaorong has no way out and no confidence, so she will not gamble easily.

"I am right before your eyes, Your Highness. You should behave more dignifiedly. Will Your Highness behave like this when you meet His Majesty?"

Gu Jiaorong remained calm and composed, and was not moved by him, but Pei Xu was not disappointed. He did this to make Gu Jiaorong not too nervous.

Since he decided to bring Gu Jiaorong into the palace, he would not let anything happen to her.

While the two were struggling, they arrived at the palace gate.

Although Pei Xu seemed frivolous, he was very sensible. When the two of them got out of the car, even his clothes were not messed up.

Xie Wanning, who was not far away, cast her eyes on them and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

"What a delightful couple they are."

She sighed softly, as if she had really let it go and was no longer obsessed with Pei Xu's love.

Pei Xu was keenly aware of Xie Wanning's gaze, but he didn't even look back. If it weren't for Xie Wanning's identity, he would definitely not appear in the same occasion with her.

No matter what, this Qiqiao Banquet must be dealt with first.

Gu Jiaorong was different from Xie Wanning. This was her first time entering the palace and she knew her identity, so she did not look up randomly, but followed Pei Xu carefully.

The emperor had not yet appeared, and the officials present were relatively relaxed. Many of them were secretly looking at Gu Jiaorong.

Prince Su's favorite concubine was quite famous in Kyoto, but she seldom left the house and not many people had seen her.

The girl from the Xu family did have some interactions with this favorite concubine, and it was said that they parted on bad terms.

"Your Majesty, they are all looking at me."

Gu Jiaorong tugged at the corner of Pei Xu's clothes and whispered.

She still couldn't interact with people as easily as Xie Wanning. She didn't know anyone here, and her status was so low that she could easily make mistakes. Furthermore, Pei Xu couldn't bear to leave her alone and planned to keep her with him at all times.

"Don't worry about them, they are just a bunch of rabble."

Pei Xuhua said this, but he still looked over and secretly warned everyone.

With Pei Xu's warning, the scrutiny became much more restrained, and Gu Jiaorong also breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already prepared herself mentally when she came, but when she actually entered the palace, she realized that the real palace was completely different from the ones in movies and TV dramas. It was not that it was bad, but it was that such an atmosphere was completely incommensurate with her as a modern person.

When he was in the palace, Pei Xu did not attach importance to rules, so she did not have any deep feelings.

Although Pei Xu protected Gu Jiaorong like a calf, there were times when he could not take care of her. It was also impossible for Gu Jiaorong to cling to him all the time and prevent him from socializing.

"Your Highness, I'll just sit here and have some snacks. I'll be fine."

Gu Jiaorong found an inconspicuous corner and let Pei Xu go.

Even though Pei Xu was still worried, he couldn't resist her repeated assurances, and he did have something to discuss.

He was already feared by the emperor, and if he met with court ministers in private, it would be even more so. But this Qiqiao Banquet was different. It was very easy to say a few polite words when they met.

Even if the emperor had all the power and vision, he couldn't keep an eye on him all the time. Even if he did send someone to keep an eye on him, one or two small minions wouldn't be a big deal.

Pei Xu was only thinking about finishing the matter as soon as possible so that he could come back to be with Gu Jiaorong, so he took bigger steps.
