Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 226 Mascot

When the envoys came to congratulate, Pei Xu had to hold a banquet to entertain them, and as the queen, Gu Jiaorong had to attend as well.

After all, this is a national affair and we must not be careless.

Gu Jiaorong changed into a gorgeous dress and sat next to Pei Xu, looking very dignified.

But only she herself knows that being so pretentious is really tiring.

If possible, she would still prefer to wear everyday clothes and stroll in the imperial garden as usual. But she also knew that as the queen, this was her job responsibility, and no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to endure it.

Fortunately, at times like this, she only needs to act as a mascot and doesn't need to speak.

Otherwise, she might be even more tired.

Pei Xu could also see that she was not used to such occasions. After all, Gu Jiaorong had lived in the backyard of the prince's mansion since she was a child, doing cleaning and serving chores. It was the old emperor's request that she entered the palace with him. Apart from that, she almost never even attended any banquets.

So he reached out and squeezed Gu Jiaorong's hand to comfort her.

Gu Jiaorong understood that he was worried about her, so she shook his hand and smiled.

At this time, she had a trustworthy person by her side, which made her extremely happy.

Gu Jiaorong slightly adjusted her sitting posture, pretending to be working hard, but in fact her mind was daydreaming.

She is quite good at daydreaming, and it is safe.

After all, entertaining envoys is not like other times. It would be bad if something funny happened.

Pei Xu could also see that Gu Jiaorong was bored, and he also found it uninteresting.

After finally getting through it, Gu Jiaorong's shoulders slumped and she looked exhausted before she even reached the bedroom.

Pei Xu found her look funny and asked, "Are you really that tired?"

Gu Jiaorong: Of course I’m tired. Do you think everyone is like you, having such a niche hobby as liking to work?

To be honest, liking work as a hobby is really inhuman, okay?

However, Gu Jiaorong didn't dare to say it. She just hummed and leaned against Pei Xu with a pitiful look on her face. The meaning was self-evident.

"You won't have to worry about them tomorrow."

Pei Xu immediately softened his heart and kissed her lips.

"We've already handed it over to them. We don't need to worry about the rest."

Pei Xuhua said this, but he had already made arrangements.

Gu Jiaorong didn't care what arrangements he had, and when she heard this, she completely relaxed.

"That would be great! If I had to do this every day, I'd probably quit."

Gu Jiaorong felt that being a queen was not an easy thing. Although there was nothing to do normally, she had to come out and show up if something happened.

There was no one in Pei Xu's harem, so her job as the queen was easier. If there were three thousand beauties in the harem, her head would probably explode.

"Don't worry, I won't tire you out."

Pei Xu looked at her jokingly and said, "If I tire you out and make you run away, who will compensate me with a queen?"

Gu Jiaorong chuckled and looked at him with moving eyes.

"It's hard to say. I think there are many people in the world who want to be the queen, not to mention that Your Majesty is so handsome and elegant."

Gu Jiaorong still remembers how many girls of marriageable age were jealous of her when she first went to the Nan'an Palace for a banquet with Xie Wanning.

As long as Pei Xu agreed to choose a concubine, all these women would rush into the palace like moths to a flame.

"But I only want this queen in front of me. I don't want anyone else."

Pei Xu hugged her and spoke gently in her ear.

He wasn't saying this to coax anyone, but was sincere.

But Gu Jiaorong refused to listen and refused to listen to any words, good or bad.

"That's because Your Majesty hasn't met a good match. If you had, you would probably have forgotten me, your wife."

When Gu Jiaorong said this now, it already had a bit of a joking tone. After all, the heroines in the book were already dead, and there was no obstacle between them.

Except that people's hearts are fickle.

But Pei Xu gave her enough honor, so even if Pei Xu changed his mind in the future, as long as she did not make any mistakes, Pei Xu would not touch her position as queen. At most, she would just have a few more beautiful concubines around her.

Pei Xu didn't know whether there was some truth in Gu Jiaorong's words, but he immediately expressed his feelings.

"God and Heaven, if I had such thoughts, I would die a miserable death."

Pei Xu really didn't have such an idea, so he dared to swear, but Gu Jiaorong thought that this man was really crazy and dared to say anything.

She raised her hand to cover Pei Xu's mouth and glared at him coquettishly.

"Your Majesty is truly bold, daring to swear such a vicious oath."

Gu Jiaorong naturally didn't believe in vows of love, so when she heard this, she subconsciously stopped him.

But Pei Xu didn't care. He knew what kind of person he was, and he also knew that once he made up his mind, he would not change it.

He is very confident in their future and in himself.

"What are you afraid of, Rong'er? Don't you believe me?"

Pei Xu stared at her eyes so intently that Gu Jiaorong subconsciously wanted to nod, but reason stopped her.

Even if she doesn't believe it, she should say some sweet words at this time.

"Of course I believe in Your Majesty. It is precisely because I believe in Your Majesty that I feel Your Majesty does not need to swear such a poisonous oath. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. If such childish behavior were to get out, it would be disastrous."

Gu Jiaorong spoke seriously and became more and more confident.

Pei Xu looked at her helplessly and dotingly, as if to say, I really can't do anything about you.

Anyway, Gu Jiaorong managed to get away with this matter.

Gu Jiaorong no longer had to be a mascot. After changing into her regular clothes, she immediately felt much more relaxed and cheerful.

She sat in a chair, swinging her legs, with a smile on her face.

How rare it is to have a day when you don’t have to work and take care of children.

Tomorrow, she would have to take the child from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was old after all, and keeping the child in front of her would affect her rest.

Moreover, compared to letting the empress dowager take care of the child, Gu Jiaorong would rather take care of the child herself, just like an ordinary family.

Even though Gu Jiaorong is now the queen, her thoughts have not changed much.

Pei Xu changed his clothes and looked at Gu Jiaorong's little girl-like posture, and thought of the time when he was in the palace.

They actually had quite a few good memories when they were in the palace.

In his eyes, Gu Jiaorong has never changed, and is still the same as before, but his love for Gu Jiaorong is growing day by day.

"Let's go to bed early tonight. You never know what we might have to deal with tomorrow."

Pei Xu walked to Gu Jiaorong and spoke with a smile.

Of course, he didn't have any thoughts in that regard, but he really anticipated what might happen.

It is impossible for these envoys not to cause trouble when they arrive.

Pei Xu must resolve this matter perfectly so that the country can have peace for a few years.

He has not had the intention to go to war in recent years. After all, his two children are still young, and if there is a war, a lot of trouble will arise.
