Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Not long after Pei Xu left, an unfamiliar palace maid appeared in front of Gu Jiaorong.

"Are you Prince Su's concubine?"

The other party's tone was not polite, probably because he was serving a nobleman closely. Therefore, Gu Jiaorong did not get angry, but nodded.

"It is I, your concubine. May I ask what your name is, young lady?"

Gu Jiaorong rolled her eyes, wondering who in the palace would be targeting her. She also wanted to find out the other person's identity. If Pei Xu couldn't find her when he came back, she would know who took her away.

It was impossible for the emperor to meet her in private, and there was no need to do so. She was just a small figure, and at most she was lucky enough to be pregnant with Pei Xu's child.

Then it can only be Concubine Shu!

Concubine Shu was Xie Wanning's aunt and the biological mother of the Third Prince. She not only cared about Pei Xu's position, but also cared more about his offspring. If Pei Xu's eldest son was not born to her family, it would be extremely disadvantageous to her.

Lu He's tone was arrogant, her chin slightly raised, and she looked down on Gu Jiaorong.

"Your servant Lu He, come with me, our queen wants to see you."

Gu Jiaorong did not refuse, but looked around, searching for someone she knew.

Lu He didn't know what Gu Jiaorong was thinking, and seeing that she was quite cooperative, she didn't say anything.

Concubine Shu was very arrogant. After all, she had a son and had been favored for many years. People of Gu Jiaorong's status would never have had the chance to see her in the past.

Gu Jiaorong followed Lu He to the edge of the rockery and heard a slight quarrel. Since she became pregnant, her hearing seemed to have become much more sensitive.

"Is Your Highness crazy? I am now engaged to the Crown Prince. If Your Highness touches me, you will become the Crown Prince's enemy."

Originally, she didn't want to cause herself trouble, but the voice sounded very familiar to her.

"Your Highness, why don't you let me go? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

The woman's voice was trembling, and there was panic in it. She was unwilling to continue communicating with this prince.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but sigh, this prince is so bold, he actually has evil thoughts here, isn't he afraid of being caught?

"Miss Gu, just call. If you call the person here, it will just confirm our relationship."

Miss Gu, Gu Jiaorong suddenly remembered that the owner of this voice was Gu Fuying. No wonder she felt it sounded familiar.

"Miss Lu He, I know the Queen is anxious to see me, but I'm pregnant and feeling a bit uncomfortable right now. Could you please help me sit down on the rockery and rest my feet?"

Gu Jiaorong raised her voice, as if she was not speaking to Lu He.

It’s a pity that Luhe didn’t notice anything unusual, but just made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound, obviously thinking she was troublesome.

"Auntie Gu, it's an honor for you to be summoned by the Empress. Why don't you want to see the Empress and are you deliberately delaying?"

As soon as Lu He finished speaking, Gu Fuying's voice came over.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine, I just lost my way for a moment."

Although the other party was not afraid of being discovered, Gu Fuying seized the initiative, so he had no choice but to let Gu Fuying go.

Gu Fuying hurriedly escaped from the man and appeared in front of Gu Jiaorong.

"Auntie Gu, are you going to see the noble?"

Gu Fuying's face was still a little pale, but she knew that Gu Jiaorong was willing to help her, so she showed up to see her specially.

"Yes, if Miss Gu meets the prince, please tell him that I will be back soon."

Gu Jiaorong nodded and smiled harmlessly, but Gu Fuying understood what she meant.

Although Gu Fuying was born in a family of military generals, he has been able to read and write since childhood. Although he has a somewhat impulsive personality, he also has some of the arrogance of a scholar, so he looks down on Gu Jiaorong.

Now that Gu Jiaorong has helped her and needs her help, she naturally won't refuse.

What's more, she is already engaged to the prince. From the prince's point of view, he cannot let Prince Su and the Shufei family get too close.

"Don't worry, Aunt Gu, I will definitely convey your message."

Gu Jiaorong believed in Gu Fuying, and now she had no choice but to trust her.

Lu He originally came to take her away because Pei Xu was not with her, but she didn't expect that she was so lucky to meet Gu Fuying on the way.

"Mrs. Gu, you've finished reminiscing about the past and rested. It's time to go. The Empress is still waiting for you."

Lu He didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that another Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere.

Gu Jiaorong's goal has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to delay any further.

She also wanted to meet Concubine Shu and see what her purpose was.

"Then please trouble Miss Luhe to continue leading the way."

Gu Jiaorong smiled gently, still looking calm.

After Lu He brought Gu Jiaorong to Concubine Shu, she whispered something in her ear.

Concubine Shu nodded and looked at Gu Jiaorong.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaorong. I was just happy to hear that Prince Su's mansion has a successor, so I wanted to meet you. Although Wan Ning is my niece, I will not interfere in her family's affairs. Besides, the birth of an heir is not decided by others."

Concubine Shu spoke lightly, seeming to be a very friendly person.

But Gu Jiaorong did not take it lightly. Her attitude was respectful, with her head slightly lowered, and she looked like a person who had no idea but was obedient.

"I am so lucky to have seen the Empress, how could I be afraid? I just feel like my ancestors are showing off their wealth."

Gu Jiaorong is good at pleasing others, and she can say many things against her will as long as she wants to.

When she was in the mansion, Pei Xu often said that she was a little liar and that she didn't mean what she said.

Gu Jiaorong lowered her brows. No matter if it was just coaxing or just saying one thing and meaning another, as long as she could deal with it, it was a good idea.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu chuckled.

"No wonder Prince Su likes you so much. You have such a sweet mouth, even I like you. It's a pity that you are now with Pei Xu, otherwise I really want to take you and give you to Zhao'er."

In Concubine Shu's eyes, Gu Jiaorong was not even as good as a toy, and she could just ask for it and give it to someone else at will. A dark trace flashed across Gu Jiaorong's eyes. Even if the person she gave it to was the Third Prince Pei Yunzhao, it was still an insult to her.

Unfortunately, she is of low status and has no ability now, so even if she is treated as a toy, she cannot refute it.

"Your Majesty is such a joker. I am of humble origin and even a humble figure. How can I serve the Third Prince?"

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.

She knew that saying the wrong thing here could cost her life.

"Don't worry, even if I want to, I won't take someone else's love away, otherwise Prince Su will fight me to the death."

Concubine Shu covered her lips and giggled, but the words she said were particularly harsh.

Gu Jiaorong forced a smile. She really shouldn't have let Pei Xu leave. If Pei Xu was there, Concubine Shu would definitely not meet her alone.

The harem should not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Even if she was a favorite concubine, the emperor would not allow it.

Even though Gu Jiaorong is just a concubine, she is pregnant with the blood of the prince's palace. She may also be Pei Xu's eldest son, the future of Prince Su's palace.

Therefore, although her status is humble, she is also sensitive.
