Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 204 Missing

Pei Xu's eyes were always fixed on Gu Jiaorong, unable to move away for even a moment.

He had countless thoughts in his heart that he wanted to express, but he didn't know where to start. He could only put his eyes on her and look at her intently, so as to let her know how much he missed her.

However, this method is obviously not smart enough. After all, they have not yet reached the point of telepathic communication, they only have some tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, you are looking at me like this, do you have anything to say?"

Gu Jiaorong took the initiative to speak, breaking the silent atmosphere.

After all, being watched like this made her feel a little uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.

Even though she knew that Pei Xu might be missing her.

But missing someone needs to be expressed, and so does love. If you don’t say it, who can accurately guess what the other person means based only on the other person’s guesses?

Even though Gu Jiaorong still doesn't believe in love, she doesn't understand nothing.

"Rong'er, I really miss you these days. I can't help but worry about whether you are tired. Both children are by your side, and each of them needs your care. Although I left everyone to you, I know in my heart that some things cannot be replaced by servants. Logically, I should have settled the affairs in the capital and come to pick you up in person, but I didn't expect Pei Yunqing to take action against the prince so quickly. Now the only prince alive is the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince is too young. I can only do my best to delay him and wait for you to return to the capital so that we can resolve this matter faster."

Pei Xu didn't know where to start, so he told everything again.

He was actually very clear that Gu Jiaorong might not be unaware of the whole situation. But he also didn't want the two of them to just stare at each other in silence.

Just as he thought, Gu Jiaorong certainly knew the inside story.

Pei Yunqing was indeed too quick to act against the prince, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Pei Xu had pushed him into a corner.

No one expected that the old emperor cared so much about Pei Yunzhao's death, not even Hu Dequan.

If Hu Dequan knew the result would be like this, he would definitely not help Pei Yunqing.

But it's too late to say these things now.

"It doesn't matter. We are back safely now. The children are very well behaved. They probably know that we are going back to the capital to find their father."

Gu Jiaorong answered with her eyes curved. She always knew what to say to please Pei Xu.

"I'm glad the kids didn't bother you. This way you can feel more at ease."

Pei Xu nodded, but he felt that Gu Jiaorong's condition did not seem to be that good, so he stopped talking to Gu Jiaorong.

"Rong'er, you've been really tired all the way here, why don't you go and take a rest?"

Pei Xu would naturally accompany her to rest. There was no reason for him to run out when Gu Jiaorong came back.

As for what Pei Yunqing wanted to do, he would not be able to do anything in a day or two. Even if he killed the emperor, it would not be a bad thing for Pei Xu.

Gu Jiaorong thought Pei Xu would talk to her for a long time, but she didn't expect that he actually noticed her fatigue and asked her to rest, so she couldn't control her expression for a while.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Although Pei Xu couldn't guess what he was thinking, he knew from her expression that she was probably muttering something in her heart.

Gu Jiaorong's inner world has always been rich, and he is not unaware of it.

But it was harmless to him, even a little cute.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect that the prince would let me rest now. I thought you had something else to say."

Pei Xu naturally had a lot to say, but he cared more about Gu Jiaorong's health.

"You can talk at any time, but you are tired, so of course you need to rest well."

Pei Xu felt that he was not that selfish. Even when he knew she was tired, he still kept talking to her.

"Okay, then your Highness will accompany me."

Gu Jiaorong bravely made the request. Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, she inexplicably felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

Fortunately, Pei Xu didn't notice this. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Of course, I will definitely accompany you."

Pei Xu had been waiting for them to come back for a long time and would never leave them for a moment.

Without waiting for Gu Jiaorong to speak again, he picked her up and strode towards the bed.

Gu Jiaorong hadn't been hugged like this by Pei Xu for a long time, but his shoulders were still so broad, making her feel a little bit safe.

To be honest, she was really tired of the life on the run.

Since coming to this world, she can only feel safe when she is with Pei Xu.

It is completely understandable that people are attracted by power. After all, only with enough power can one have enough security.

"Go to sleep, I'll be right next to you. You can see me as soon as you open your eyes."

Pei Xu kissed her soft lips with a gentle tone.

Gu Jiaorong felt his breath and temperature and slowly fell asleep.

This was the first time she slept so soundly since she separated from Pei Xu.

Pei Xu knew how tired she was when he saw her fall asleep in a second. It turned out that she was just holding on. However, this was also normal. Gu Jiaorong had just finished her confinement and started traveling with her two children. She encountered so many dangers along the way.

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty towards Gu Jiaorong and the children.

Pei Xu lay sideways, supported himself with his arms, and stared at Gu Jiaorong's sleeping face.

Looking at it carefully now, Gu Jiaorong is indeed much more haggard and thinner than when we parted.

When Pei Xugang reunited with her, he was so excited that he didn't actually notice this.

Her cheeks did not become ugly because of her weight loss, but instead made people look more lovable.

Pei Xu couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her cheek, but he was afraid that his action would be too rough and wake up the sleeping person.

So he just looked at Gu Jiaorong, using his eyes to replace his hands.

But the good news is that because of his restraint, Gu Jiaorong slept well.

When she woke up again, she looked radiant.

And just as Pei Xu said, when she opened her eyes, she saw him at first sight.

"Your Highness, you are still here. I thought you would be busy."

Gu Jiaorong's tone was full of surprise, and she was speaking from the heart. After all, she knew how passionate Pei Xu was about his career.

"I promised Rong'er that she would see me as soon as she opened her eyes, so I naturally wouldn't leave. I will set aside time today to spend time with you and the child."

Pei Xu answered with a smile, and then kissed her on the lips.

When Gu Jiaorong heard this, she hugged his neck and smiled.

"The children and I are already very happy that the prince has such a heart. If the prince has something to do, he doesn't have to stay in the mansion with us. When he comes back in the evening, our family of four will naturally be reunited."

Gu Jiaorong's words were extremely considerate, and she has always been a considerate person.

However, Pei Xu was not satisfied with her thoughtfulness at this time.

"Rong'er, you and the children have gone through so much hardship to return to my side. It would be wrong for me to leave now. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements after receiving your letter. Fu'an will handle anything. I will stay in the mansion with you today."

Pei Xu followed her movements and held her in his arms.

The delicate and soft girl returned to his arms, and he felt particularly satisfied.

Pei Xu didn't know how many days and nights he had woken up because Gu Jiaorong was not by his side. After waking up, he felt even more empty in his heart.

But he also knew that there was no way around it, and that a short separation was also for a better life in the future.

"Well, if it doesn't affect the prince's business, then we will be very happy if the prince stays at home with us."

Gu Jiaorong showed a gentle smile and looked so sensible.

But only she knows what the truth is.

Pei Xu never tried to find out the purpose behind every word she said.

Once the truth about some things is told, it may not be so beautiful.

Pei Xu is willing to be a fool as long as his family can live happily together.

"No, don't worry about me."

Pei Xu smiled. He was already very satisfied to be able to live like this.

If it were a year ago, he might not have thought this way, but since the birth of the child, his thoughts have really changed a lot.

Gu Jiaorong didn't know what he was thinking, but she was embraced in Pei Xu's arms, feeling his warmth, and their child was sleeping in the next room. Her long-lasting emptiness was finally satisfied. He was finally no longer a rootless duckweed in this world, without any ties or any sense of belonging.

Although she had many thoughts when the two children appeared, which may have been unrealistic, at that time, she felt panic as a person from another world.

Now she finally doesn't have to be so confused anymore. Although the feelings and relationship between her and Pei Xu are very complicated, without Pei Xu, there would be no her today.

"Your Majesty, have you taken a good look at our children? They are growing up well now."

Gu Jiaorong thought of her two children and couldn't help but smile.

"Especially my daughter, she's getting cuter and cuter, and my son looks just like the prince."

Before the children were born, Gu Jiaorong had thought about what they would look like. Now that the children were born and growing up day by day, she also felt more maternal love.

"Of course I have. My daughter looks a lot like you. She's very cute."

Pei Xu naturally did not lie to Gu Jiaorong. Although the two children were very obedient, they could not leave their parents for long. Therefore, after Gu Jiaorong fell asleep, he took the two children over.

He pointed to the two cradles beside the bed, and Gu Jiaorong noticed that there were two children next to them.

Fortunately, they didn’t do anything, otherwise they would have led the child astray.

When Gu Jiaorong thought of this, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

Pei Xu didn't think too much about it. He knew that Gu Jiaorong had worked hard along the way, so she naturally wouldn't do anything in the next few days.

What's more, she had to travel right after her confinement, so she needed to take good care of her body.

"By the way, Your Majesty, have you thought of names for the children?"

At the time, they had a lot of things to do and were in a hurry to return to the capital, so the matter of having children was put on hold for the time being. They only gave both children nicknames: the brother was named Nian Nian and the sister was named Sui Sui.

"I've thought of several and am waiting for you to come back and pick one."

Whenever Pei Xu missed his child and Gu Jiaorong, he would think about naming the child.

He hopes that the child's name can have a good meaning.

Children's names will accompany them throughout their lives and are a reflection of their parents' love for them. If you give them a random name, wouldn't it be very sad for them when they grow up?

As Pei Xu thought about this, there was a little more warmth in his eyes.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. However, since it's the child's name, I think it would be better to let them choose it themselves. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Gu Jiaorong knew that every name Pei Xu came up with must be good, and she would definitely pick one that was good.

In that case, it would be better to let the children choose their names themselves.

When the children grow up, she can also tell them that their names are chosen by themselves, just like their lives, which do not have to be manipulated by their parents from the beginning.

Being born in such a family, you are destined to be extraordinary from childhood.

Gu Jiaorong hopes that even if this happens, they can still choose their own lives and live happily.

After all, human life is long but also short.

If her life was full of pain, it would be unfair for her to bring children into the world.

Pei Xu didn't expect this to be possible, but he didn't refuse.

It is also good to let children choose their own names. When they grow up, they will not have any opinions about their own names because they chose them by themselves.

"Of course, I think Rong'er's idea is great. But in that case, shouldn't we write the names separately, place them on the ground, and let the children choose for themselves, just like we do with the "Zhuazhou" ceremony?"

Pei Xu spoke, and he also had other ideas.

They were so rushed at the time that not only did they not hold a full-moon banquet for the children, they didn't even hold a one-year-old celebration. Now they can hold a big banquet, but they just want to turn the full-moon banquet into a hundred-day banquet.

Gu Jiaorong nodded and answered with squinting eyes: "Yes, but I just need to trouble Your Majesty to write down the names separately."

This was not a difficult task for Pei Xu.

In fact, he enjoyed every little thing he did with Gu Jiaorong.

They did not make a big fuss about letting their children choose their own names, but did it quietly on their own.

Pei Xu put the ball of paper with the names written on it on the bed and picked up both children.

Although they are still very small, they can already make simple grasping movements.

"Year after year, you have to choose a name for yourself."

Gu Jiaorong lowered her head and kissed their sweet and soft little faces, then spoke with a smile.

Pei Xu stayed by the bed, looking at them gently.

“Just pick the one you like.”

He shared the same idea as Gu Jiaorong, hoping that the children would be healthy and happy.
