Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 119: Flowers fade easily, just like your love

Kong Jinghuan's method was really bold, and Pei Yunjia was a little hesitant.

"Your Highness, even if this plan fails, it will only make His Majesty slightly dissatisfied. However, if this matter were to reach His Majesty's ears, there would undoubtedly be a commotion. Moreover, Your Highness has already passed the age of coming of age, yet has yet to marry. As a mother, the Empress, concerned about Your Highness's marriage, took a liking to Miss Gu at the Qiqiao Feast and is willing to seek permission on Your Highness' behalf. How can this not be justified?"

This reason is indeed reasonable, and it is legitimate for the Queen Mother to ask for permission, but...

Is it worth it to exchange my father's suspicion for Gu Sidao's support?

Pei Yunjia paced back and forth, frowning in thought.

He was sure that Gu Fuying was deeply in love with him. Even if he did not ask for permission to marry her at this moment, as long as he told her that he also had difficulties, Gu Fuying would forgive him.

But in this case, he was not sure what choice Gu Sidao would make.

Kong Jinghuan naturally guessed Pei Yunjia's idea, but this was really risky. Moreover, the ministers who followed the Eastern Palace had no military power. If they lost Gu Sidao's support, it would also be a loss for them.

"Your Highness..."

He opened his mouth to argue again, but was interrupted by Pei Yunjia.

"Let me think about it again, and then all of you go down."

Pei Yunjia waved his hand, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Although he wanted to marry Gu Fuying, he only planned to give her the position of concubine and did not intend to allow her the position of crown princess.

His Crown Princess must come from a noble family so that she can bring him greater benefits.

-

The marriage between Gu Fuying and the prince eventually became a rumor, and for three consecutive days there was no news of the marriage being granted or the prince taking a concubine.

"Auntie, I think Miss Gu is really at a loss. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't even offered an explanation."

Yueyan couldn't help but click her tongue, and she felt that Miss Gu was a bit pitiful.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marries someone else in the future, Miss Gu will be so sad."

After all, Miss Gu has been eagerly waiting for good news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since she returned from the Qiqiao Banquet.

Unfortunately, before the good news came, rumors spread and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no longer saw her.

Gu Sidao was both angry and sympathetic towards his daughter. He was angry that his daughter was still making excuses for the prince at this time, but he also felt sorry for his daughter who had given her true love to the wrong person.

Even though the prince privately sent someone to inform the Gu family that it was not that he did not want to marry, but that His Majesty did not want him to marry the daughter of a military commander, Gu Sidao had been in the officialdom for a long time and knew that the prince was abandoning his daughter to save himself!

"So, you have to rely on yourself for everything. You are the only one you can rely on in this world. If you put your hopes on others, you can only passively bear the consequences."

Gu Jiaorong took a sip of tea and said lightly.

When she heard the news spreading all over the place, she had already anticipated this result.

I just don’t know if Gu Fuying can understand.

Yueyan opened her mouth to say that her aunt was destined to be rich and would not be like Miss Gu, but before she could open her mouth, Shaoyao came over.

"Auntie, Miss Gu Fuying wants to see you."

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, with a hint of interest in her expression.

"Oh? Gu Fuying wants to see me?"

This was something she didn't expect. She thought Gu Fuying was not in the mood to see anyone at the moment.

"Please."

She spoke with a smile, and was also a little curious about what Gu Fuying wanted to see her about.

Could it be that he is here to call for punishment?

After all, apart from the third prince, she was the first to know that Gu Fuying and the prince had an affair.

When Gu Jiaorong thought of this, she actually felt eager to try it out.

She was bored staying in the palace these days, so it was a good opportunity to have Gu Fuying come so that she could kill some time.

Besides, who in the world doesn’t love gossip?

As Gu Jiaorong thought about this, her eyes lit up with even greater interest, and she even spoke excitedly, "Yueyan, I've been reading recently and found a poem that's very interesting. Although it's called 'Bamboo Branch Songs', it actually talks about the love between a man and a woman."

Yueyan was very cooperative, "Could you please tell me about this, Auntie?"

A clear voice sounded, but it was faintly cheerful, and it seemed that it could not understand the mood of the woman in the poem.

When Gu Fuying came in, she happened to hear the words: "Flowers fade easily like your love, and the endless flow of water is like my sorrow."

She paused, as if she had thought of something, and sadness appeared in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

He walked quickly to Gu Jiaorong and just finished reading the poem, as if mocking her.

Gu Fuying pursed her lips. She knew that she had become a laughing stock in the entire capital.

"Aunt Gu, I'm really sorry for disturbing you so hastily."

Gu Fuying still maintained his composure and was not angry about that line of poetry.

It seemed as if Gu Jiaorong only realized she was coming after hearing her words.

"Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"

She put down the book in her hand, looked at Gu Fuying gently and greeted her.

Gu Fuying smiled bitterly, "I don't know whether to say it's good or bad."

Now her affair with the Crown Prince has become a hot topic, and her father is angry about it.

Although she couldn't figure it out, she was in great pain.

She didn't know how she got through the past two days. She just felt drowsy. Until last night, she remembered Gu Jiaorong's reminder, so she came to visit her today.

"Auntie Gu, you are a smart person. You must have meant to remind me that day. What is happening now is probably not beyond your expectations."

Gu Fuying is not someone who would beat around the bush, especially since she heard such words as soon as she arrived.

Gu Jiaorong knew that she was always straightforward, but when she heard this, she still smiled.

"How can I put it? If I say I didn't expect it, I'm afraid Miss Gu won't believe it, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Gu Jiaorong smiled and did not deny it.

Shaoyao happened to have brought a new pot of tea, so she said, "Miss Gu, don't worry. I'm right here and can't run away. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly after drinking tea."

How could Gu Fuying have the mood to drink tea here?

"Auntie Gu, I'm extremely worried right now and don't know what to do. Even though this tea is fragrant, I can't drink it."

Gu Fuying sighed. She knew she was desperate and had been looking for help everywhere. But apart from Gu Jiaorong, who had seen through the situation early on, she really didn't know who else to turn to.

"Okay, then tell me."

Gu Jiaorong did not force it. After all, this matter was indeed important to Gu Fuying.

Seeing this, Gu Fuying didn't know where to start. She was the daughter of a military general. Even though she couldn't let go of her feelings, she didn't want to cry and act like a shrew in front of outsiders.

She pondered for a moment before asking, "How can I break the impasse now?"

She was unwilling to become a stranger to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she also knew that the rumors were spreading and her reputation was ruined.

Gu Jiaorong raised her eyelids and looked at Gu Fuying with some confusion.

"Miss Gu, when you first met me, you were so passionate and righteous. Now that it's your turn, why can't you make up your mind?"
