Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 127 5 Prince Pei Yunqing

Gu Jiaorong didn't expect this man to be so shameless. Pei Xu was his cousin after all, and she was pregnant with Pei Xu's child, yet he could say such words.

"Thank you for your kindness, Third Prince. However, I only have you in my heart, and it's hard to find room for another."

Gu Jiaorong refused bluntly. She knew that if she didn't refuse him verbally, someone like Pei Yunzhao would probably keep pestering her.

If Pei Xu had refused completely at the beginning, Pei Yunzhao would not have waited until the autumn hunt to take action.

But then again, it was precisely because of Pei Xu's delay that the two brothers have been fighting until now.

"Jiaorong does have deep feelings for Pei Xu, but you know, Pei Xu is not a sentimental person. If you give your heart to him, I'm afraid you will be hurt sooner or later."

Pei Yunzhao, the shameless man, directly slandered Pei Xu.

Even if Pei Xu is really not a good man, could it be that Pei Yunzhao, the one who is trying to poach someone, is the one?

"Although I don't know the Third Prince, I have heard of his romantic affairs. He has a harem full of concubines, all of them as beautiful as flowers. How can a common woman like me compare to them? Third Prince, please stop joking. If the prince hears, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony between you two brothers."

Gu Jiaorong forced out a hypocritical smile. She must be crazy to abandon Pei Xu and turn to Pei Yunzhao.

Pei Yunzhao is not a clean person.

"Even though there are countless beauties in the harem, none can compare to your charming demeanor. As long as you are willing, as long as you say the word, I will ask Pei Xu for you. As for our brotherly harmony, you don't have to worry. After all, I am also a dignified prince. Is it possible that Pei Xu would fight with me for a concubine?"

Although Pei Yunzhao's words were a bit arrogant, they also proved that he did not regard Gu Jiaorong as a human being. In his eyes, Gu Jiaorong was no different from an object that could be asked for at will.

Even though she was pregnant now, it only added a bit of fun to him.

"Third Prince, I have made it very clear just now. I only have you in my heart."

Gu Jiaorong's eyelids drooped and her tone was cold. Shaoyao, who was close to her, could hear her dissatisfaction.

"Third Prince, the prince just instructed me to let our aunt go back to the tent to rest, so I won't disturb the Third Prince's business."

Logically speaking, Shaoyao had no right to interrupt when the master was speaking, but Pei Yunzhao blocked their way and refused to let them pass. If they continued to argue, it would not be good for them.

Pei Yun looked at Shaoyao with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to interrupt me when I'm talking to your master?"

He slapped Shaoyao in the face with a contemptuous tone.

"If it weren't for Pei Xu bringing you here, your head would have already fallen to the ground."

A red slap mark was immediately left on Shaoyao's fair face.

Gu Jiaorong knew that this was not only a warning to Shaoyao, but also a warning to her.

In Pei Yunzhao's eyes, there was no difference between Gu Jiaorong and Shaoyao, they were both just servants.

"Third Prince, when beating a dog, you should consider the owner first. Even if you don't consider me as a little concubine, you should consider the prince's. It is really unreasonable to beat a maid in the palace like this."

There was anger in Gu Jiaorong's eyes. She was protected too well in the palace. Even though she knew that power could oppress people, she didn't experience it most of the time. It was not until today, when Pei Yunzhao stood in front of her, that she realized how insignificant she was. Shaoyao was slapped, but she couldn't slap him back.

If she moved at all, the guards around Pei Yunzhao might stab her with a knife.

It's just because she is just a concubine.

It's no big deal for a prince to kill a concubine. Could it be that Pei Xu will turn against him because of this?

"Gu Jiaorong, don't be shameless."

Pei Yunzhao snorted coldly, "It's your blessing that I like you. Even if you're pregnant, so what? There are many women who can give birth. At worst, I can send Pei Xu a few beauties. There's always one who can give birth. Do you think Pei Xu will turn against me for you? Don't be so naive. People like you are just our playthings."

He was right. In Pei Xu's heart, she was just a plaything at first, but she happened to be pregnant, which was why he liked her a little.

But even so, now that she has Pei Xu's favor, she must make good use of it.

"Perhaps what the Third Prince said is true. I am nothing more than a plaything in His Majesty's heart. But even if I am a plaything, I am pregnant with His Majesty's child. If the Third Prince kills me, His Majesty will seek revenge on Him for the sake of the child, not just for my sake."

Gu Jiaorong spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, as if she had already guessed Pei Xu's thoughts.

The person next to Pei Yunzhao leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear.

To Pei Yunzhao, she was just a woman, and it didn't matter if he gave up on her, but Gu Jiaorong's attitude hurt him.

Pei Yunzhao frowned, feeling a little conflicted.

"Hey, why is it so lively here?"

The fifth prince Pei Yunqing walked over with a smile. He looked at Pei Yunzhao and then at Gu Jiaorong.

"Third brother, are you chatting with your cousin's wife?"

He tilted his head, looking innocent.

The fifth prince did not show up at the Qiqiao Banquet. Others said that he was not feeling well.

This was the first time Gu Jiaorong met him, and she didn't expect to be called cousin.

"I am but a humble woman, how dare I accept the title of your Highness's sister-in-law?"

Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips. She still had some self-awareness. Even if Pei Xu doted on her, the real princess would not be her, but Xie Wanning from the Xie family.

"You don't have to be so modest, cousin. Although you are not the Princess of Su, you are still my cousin's woman. It is only right that I respectfully call you cousin."

Pei Yunqing spoke with a smile, appearing to have high emotional intelligence.

Gu Jiaorong always felt that this man was a little different from the other members of the Pei family, so she glanced at him secretly.

"Your Highness, I dare not."

Gu Jiaorong didn't say much, just said she didn't dare.

But she had many thoughts in her mind. What happened today made her realize that her power was still too small and not everything was under her control.

"Third brother, what interesting things are you talking about with your cousin's wife? Why are you pulling out a knife and hitting people? If my cousin knew about this, I'm afraid he would be unhappy."

Pei Yunqing didn't care what Gu Jiaorong said and turned to ask Pei Yunzhao.

He seemed to be intentionally helping Gu Jiaorong, perhaps also to please Pei Xu. After all, this was a prince with real power. If he could get his support, it would naturally be beneficial to him.

Pei Yunzhao hadn't expected someone like Cheng Yaojin to show up unexpectedly. Now that Pei Yunqing was there, he naturally couldn't do anything. He could only grit his teeth and smile as he said, "Nothing, just a small matter."
