Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 215 Wanting to Make Her the Queen

Pei Xu knew his mother would ask this question, so he delayed announcing his decision because he wanted to wait until his mother came back.

Marriage is a major event, and parents and elders should be present.

Gu Jiaorong's relatives are not reliable. They are all parasites that want to suck her blood. Now only her mother has the final say.

"Mother, Jiaorong and I already have children, and I don't have anyone else by my side. In the future, there will only be her, so I want to make her the empress and Niannian the crown prince."

Pei Xu had compromised before, and now he didn't want to rely on marriage to secure his throne, he just wanted to be a family with the one he loved.

Even among the women in the capital, many were willing to marry him as his concubine.

The old princess smiled and nodded when she heard this. "It's kind of you to have such a heart. Although I originally wanted her to be your companion when I left Jiaorong, since you two are in love, I naturally have no objection. I don't value family background, and I don't want you to be unhappy on the throne."

The old princess, like her husband, does not have such great ambitions.

If the emperor had not killed her husband and left her family no chance of survival, they would not have ended up like this.

"I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Since you've accepted this position, you must consider the people and act in a way that puts the people first and benefits the world. But as your mother, I also hope that you can be happy and live a joyful life, rather than having to compromise on things like before."

Pei Xu knew what his mother meant. Because he understood his mother, he put forward his ideas without hesitation.

"But mother, please don't publicize this matter. Wait until your son ascends the throne before announcing it. I want to give Jiaorong a grand wedding."

When Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong were together, they were so careless and ridiculous. Ever since he fell in love with Gu Jiaorong, he always felt that he owed her.

Now is the best opportunity, and it will also allow Gu Jiaorong to see his sincerity.

"You've prepared a surprise, so I won't ruin it. But I think you should try to appease Jiaorong first. Although our family doesn't care about family background, hers isn't high after all. Once you ascend the throne, your status will be even more different, and perhaps she won't have the confidence to do so."

The old princess reminded her son. As a woman, she could see Gu Jiaorong's uneasiness more clearly than her son.

It wasn't the fear of being abandoned, but the worry about one's own future.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."

Pei Xu could never guess what was in Gu Jiaorong's mind, but his mother's words pointed out the problem. The gap in their identities and status made it impossible for them to talk about everything.

Even though Gu Jiaorong knew that Pei Xu had feelings for her, she didn't know how long this love would last, or how many mistakes he could tolerate her making.

After all, she was like a plaything in Pei Xu's hands, with no real say. Pei Xu could order his servants to kill her if he got angry, and she had no ability to resist.

Pei Xu seemed to have figured something out. He didn't want to wait any longer and just wanted to see Gu Jiaorong.

The old princess came from a noble family. No matter who she married or whether she had feelings for her husband or not, her husband had to respect her. Therefore, there was no obvious difference in status between his parents.

He always thought that he liked Gu Jiaorong, and that was enough, but he forgot to give her a real sense of security.

"Mother, I won't disturb your rest. I'll come and pay my respects to you tomorrow."

Pei Xu was anxious, and the old princess knew it, so she didn't keep him.

"Go ahead. There's nothing a husband and wife can't say. If she doesn't even dare to tell you the truth, then what's the point of your life?"

In the end, you are still a lonely person.

The old princess did not say the rest of the words, but her meaning was already very clear.

Pei Xu did not stay any longer and strode towards Gu Jiaorong's yard.

At this time, Gu Jiaorong was coaxing the child to sleep.

"Why did the prince come back in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"

Seeing him walking in a hurry, Gu Jiaorong thought something had happened, but he was not thinking about himself.

Pei Xu did not answer her, but hugged her first.

This made Gu Jiaorong stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened?"

Gu Jiaorong didn't know where to put her hands.

She was really at a loss, but she didn't know what else to say.

"Nothing, I just feel like I haven't hugged you for a long time, so I want to hug you."

Pei Xu shook his head, his voice a little hoarse.

When he walked in front of Gu Jiaorong, he realized that he had not thought about what to say at all, but was just eager to see her.

Although Gu Jiaorong could not understand Pei Xu's feelings, she still let him hold her obediently.

"It's okay, I'm right here, Your Highness can hold me as long as you want."

Pei Xu put his chin on her shoulder and hummed muffledly.

"Rong'er, don't be afraid of me."

Pei Xu's words left Gu Jiaorong confused and bewildered.

Why did the prince suddenly say this?

Although she did have many concerns, she was never afraid of Pei Xu, and even often regarded Pei Xu as a protective umbrella.

After all, if it weren't for Pei Xu, she might have died at the hands of Pei Yunqing long ago.

Speaking of Pei Yunqing, I haven't heard his name these days.

Now that Pei Xu has won, even if Pei Yunqing doesn't die, he won't have a good ending. But things ended like this, and Gu Jiaorong was still a little dazed.

"The prince treats me so well, I have no reason to be afraid of him."

Gu Jiaorong spoke gently in his ear, and regardless of whether this sentence was sincere or not, it comforted Pei Xu.

Pei Xu finally relaxed slowly, while Gu Jiaorong kept her eyes on the child in the cradle.

After becoming a mother, she seems to care more about her children than herself.

After all, these were her children born after ten months of pregnancy, and her blood flows in their bodies. It was she who brought these two little lives into this world, and she must be responsible for them.

"Your Highness, look, the years and the years are watching you."

Gu Jiaorong patted his shoulder gently and spoke gently.

He never lost his temper in front of Pei Xu.

When Pei Xu heard Gu Jiaorong mention the children, he remembered that their son and daughter were still watching them.

But he couldn't care less. After his mother's reminder, he was really afraid that Gu Jiaorong's heart was not with him.

Pei Xu knew from the beginning that Gu Jiaorong didn't love him, and she might not love him even now.

Even if there is affection between the two of them, Pei Xu comes after the two children.

"Don't move, Rong'er. Let me hold you again. It's good for them to watch. This way they will know how good their parents' relationship is."

Pei Xu whispered in her ear, his gentle tone sounding very affectionate.
