Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 110 The Crown Prince and I are in love

Pei Xu finally lowered his head and drank the tea that was brought to his lips.

"Rong'er, are you satisfied with my answer?"

His eyes were shining, like stars falling from the sky, so rare and moving.

Gu Jiaorong smiled at him, and her tone softened.

"I am satisfied."

She smiled and replied, "It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Your Majesty knows my background. I never had such an opportunity before, to come to the Pear Garden and listen to music. Now that I finally have this opportunity, I must take advantage of it and become proud."

She said that she was spoiled because of her favor, but most of the time, she was very well-behaved and never overstepped the boundaries.

Pei Xu accepted her answer without hesitation.

"In that case, Master must pamper Rong'er. How about inviting an opera troupe to the palace to perform a solo opera for Rong'er someday?"

It was also common for prominent families to invite opera troupes to perform at their homes.

But Pei Xu didn't like such a lively atmosphere and never invited anyone.

When Gu Jiaorong heard this, she smiled even more happily.

"No need, Your Majesty. If you have this silver, you might as well give it directly to me."

Gu Jiaorong looks like a money-grubber, and she really loves money.

How can you survive these days if you have no power, no influence, and no money?

Since Pei Xu is willing to spend money on her, it would be better to give her the silver directly. Pei Xu will be happy, and she will also have a considerable income.

She also felt that Pei Xu's behavior of hiring a drama troupe for her was like not giving money as year-end bonuses but organizing a trip for employees in modern times.

Which employee doesn’t want money?

Traveling also requires taking your own time!

"Okay, I'll reward you."

Pei Xu smiled and nodded, not feeling much about it.

Gu Jiaorong achieved her goal and made some money, so she was very happy.

This can be regarded as a happy event for everyone.

However, Chi Ziche was not the time traveler she thought she was.

Even though Chi Ziche looked cowardly, his straight back and eyes said it all.

A down-and-out intellectual who is truly crushed by life does not look like him.

What's more, the Wushan love story is full of sadness, and there is also a hint of homesickness, but Chi Ziche has no sense of sadness at all.

Although the work cannot fully reflect the author's inner thoughts, there are some things that cannot be hidden in it.

Chi Ziche was probably just a tool pushed out.

It seems that this person is smarter and more difficult to deal with than she thought.

Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyebrows. She guessed that this person was looking for companions in this way.

Unfortunately, she was not destined to be the other party's companion.

Gu Jiaorong thanked him with a beautiful smile, but also hid her ulterior motives.

"Your Highness, it's getting late, and I'm tired. Let's go back home."

At the moment, she no longer had the heart to listen to the opera. She just wanted to go back and think carefully about how to deal with the person hiding in the dark.

If this person is of noble status, it will be a very troublesome matter.

"Okay, let's go back home."

Pei Xu nodded, and without asking her why she suddenly lost interest, he took her directly back to the palace.

However, just as they entered the mansion, someone came to inform them that Gu Fuying came to visit Gu Jiaorong.

Pei Xu frowned. He had no friendship with Gu Sidao, and the Gu family and the prince were in the same boat. Why did Gu Fuying come to visit?

"I think it's because of the Qiqiao Feast and the time I helped her out."

Gu Jiaorong suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "Your Highness, have you forgotten? I was invited by Concubine Shu to the Qiqiao Feast, and I met Miss Gu who was lost on the way."

Gu Jiaorong told Pei Xu everything about this matter, but he was busy these days and didn't think about it for a while.

"Look at my memory. I actually forgot about this."

It was not convenient for Pei Xu to meet Gu Fuying, for fear of gossip, so he had to let Gu Jiaorong meet her alone.

"Don't be wronged. Even if she is involved with the prince, they haven't gotten married yet. The prince won't stand up for her. As for Gu Sidao, he is only a second-rank official."

Pei Xu was not being arrogant when he said this, he really had the capital to do so.

However, Gu Jiaorong also knew that it was not appropriate to make enemies at this time, and Gu Fuying might not be here to make enemies.

"Don't worry, my lord. How could I suffer any loss in our own house?"

Gu Jiaorong coaxed him with a smile, and then sent him into the bedroom.

Yueyan led Gu Fuying over, walked to Gu Jiaorong and whispered a few words, and Shaoyao winked and added more tea.

"Miss Gu, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Even though Gu Jiaorong guessed her purpose, she pretended to be unaware and acted confused.

Gu Fuying had already known at Xu Qingwan's small banquet that she was good at playing dumb, but now that he owed her a favor, he couldn't say anything and could only answer in a good-tempered manner.

"Thank you Aunt Gu for helping me out at the Qiqiao Feast. I'm sure Aunt Gu heard what we said."

Gu Fuying didn't know whether Gu Jiaorong had already informed Pei Xu, but her marriage with the prince hadn't been finalized yet. If something unexpected happened...

She didn't dare to think about what would happen to the Gu family.

"I just heard it faintly, not clearly."

Gu Jiaorong's tone was indifferent. She was not really brainless. At a time like this, she naturally had to fight for her own interests.

With their daughter marrying into the Eastern Palace, the Gu family would undoubtedly support the Crown Prince. Naturally, the Third Prince would also seek to win over the Gu family, as military power was always crucial in the struggle for succession. Although Pei Xu also had his own personal army, it was unknown how many of them there were, or how many of the things Shen Zhaohua had developed.

There is also a mysterious person who seems to be a time traveler, and his identity is unknown.

If these people were put on the same chessboard, who would have the advantage?

Gu Fuying did not have the same thoughts as Gu Jiaorong. She had a cheerful personality and was never secretive. At first, she looked down on Gu Jiaorong's fawning and flattering behavior, and she also did not like her using her beauty to please others. Although she has not changed her mind now, she also remembers her kindness, otherwise she would not have come to thank her.

"Auntie Gu, I know this happened thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get away so easily. Whether you heard it clearly or not, I owe you a favor. I came here today to thank you."

Gu Fuying spoke with the straightforward demeanor of someone from a military family, without any evasiveness.

But with such a personality, she is really not suitable to enter the Eastern Palace.

Gu Jiaorong looked up at her, her eyes were bright and kind, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and there was a hint of kindness on her face.

"Miss Gu, I'd like to ask, regarding your relationship with the Crown Prince, was it His Majesty who intended to grant you a marriage, or...?"

Gu Jiaorong felt that Gu Sidao would not take the initiative to send his daughter to the Eastern Palace. Although marrying the prince would elevate her status, it also meant taking sides and she would no longer have any other position.

When mentioning the prince, Gu Fuying lowered her head slightly, looking a little shy.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I met unexpectedly and fell in love. When the Empress learned of this, she summoned me and asked if I would marry the Crown Prince."

She didn't need to say the rest, Gu Jiaorong understood it, and she was naturally willing, so the matter came to a conclusion.
