Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 121 Damn your brain

The wild vegetables were bitter and astringent, and someone like her who couldn't stand bitterness couldn't finish them in one meal.

"What if I still can't forget him?"

Gu Fuying asked. Although she didn't know how to pick wild vegetables, her mind was now full of the prince.

"Then keep digging for a full month."

Gu Jiaorong didn't believe that after eating wild vegetables for a month, she could still be thinking about love.

Gu Fuying nodded and prepared to go back to dig wild vegetables.

Even though she felt that digging wild vegetables was not a good idea, it was still better than taking her father's life.

"By the way, Miss Gu, although reading is beneficial, please avoid those books about beautiful women and talented scholars. They are all made up to deceive young ladies like you. If there really is a talented man, he should not plot to meet you secretly. Instead, he should send a visiting card openly, meet General Gu, and then come to meet you."

Gu Jiaorong felt that Gu Fuying must have read storybooks and damaged his brain.

Otherwise, she would not be able to tell that the prince was approaching her deliberately, but would instead fall deeply in love with him and secretly promise to spend her life with him.

Gu Fuying turned to look at her, his eyes filled with emotions, but after opening his mouth, he only said, "I was wrong."

Now she has tasted the consequences of her actions and has become a laughing stock in the capital. She is afraid that it will be difficult for her to find a good man in the future.

Even though she was very tactful when interacting with the prince, everyone knew that she had an affair with the prince, so who would believe that she was innocent?

"Spring is not yet old, the wind is gentle and the willows are slanting."

Gu Jiaorong stood up and said:

"Miss Gu, you still have a long life ahead of you, and many roads await you. This is just a minor setback. As long as you are strong enough, there will be nothing you can't overcome. I believe that one day, you too will be able to chant 'Let the new fire test the new tea,' so don't be afraid of the uncertain road ahead."

Although her first meeting with Gu Fuying did not seem pleasant.

But among the noble ladies in Beijing, she liked Gu Fuying's character the most, which was upright and honest.

If she were born in modern times, she would be a girl with a broad mind and would never be confined to love.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't bear to see her depressed in a scam. Even though the prince had brought her happiness, that happiness was nothing but a bubble that would disappear without the sun's rays.

But she had said everything she needed to say, and the rest depended on Gu Fuying's choice.

Gu Fuying said nothing more, bowed to her, and left.

"Why did you say all this to Miss Gu? If she persists and insists on being with the Crown Prince, won't she bear a grudge against you in the future?"

Yueyan frowned. In her eyes, no one was more important than her aunt.

Gu Jiaorong was not afraid that she would bear a grudge, but she was afraid that she would really be so stubborn.

"She is a kind-hearted person and shouldn't be involved in the harem. How is she supposed to survive in such a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones?"

Although Gu Jiaorong intended to use her, she also had some compassion for her.

Since she entered the palace last time, she became more and more aware of the misery of the women in the palace. If they were favored, it would be fine and they could give birth to children. But if they were not favored, they would face endless darkness, unable to see their family, and even had no friends. Perhaps one day they would die in a conspiracy.

Shufei can be regarded as the winner of the palace fight, but she can't do everything. Even when meeting her, one has to choose the right time and give her a few words. It is definitely not the case that he can ask her to stay as long as he wants.

There were people watching inside and outside the palace, and her every move was in the eyes of His Majesty.

There are many players in this game of chess, but only the emperor has a truly open perspective.

Yue Yan pouted and muttered, "Auntie is too kind-hearted. Whether she lives or dies is none of our business. Besides, I heard Sister Shaoyao say that she once wanted to embarrass Auntie."

This little girl is a vengeful person and now she is bringing up old grudges.

"It's not that they're embarrassed, they just think I'm using my beauty to please others, and they look down on me."

Gu Jiaorong smiled faintly, but if she had not used her beauty to please him, the one talking to Gu Fuying in the palace now would not be her, but the princess.

"I didn't help her in vain. She owed me three conditions."

Gu Fuying is a weak young lady. Even if she is proud and arrogant, how can she be of any help?

Her father helped her pay off the debt.

Gu Sidao rose from a commoner to the second rank, which shows that he has made outstanding contributions and is no ordinary person.

But if that’s the case, there’s no need to tell Yue Yan.

Yue Yan didn't understand the reasoning behind this, and just muttered, "I hope she still has a conscience and remembers to repay Auntie's kindness."

Hearing this, Gu Jiaorong smiled.

She never gambles on people's hearts, and firmly believes that what she holds in her hands is the most reliable.

Since Gu Fuying gave her this personal jade pendant, she was no longer afraid that Gu Fuying would go back on his word.

However, it is impossible to verify whether this jade pendant is her personal belonging, and it needs to be checked.

Gu Jiaorong thought about this and couldn't help but sigh.

It’s better to just ignore everything and eat and sleep every day.

"Yueyan, come here, I have something to tell you."

Gu Jiaorong waved to Yueyan and whispered something to her.

Yueyan understood what she meant and nodded in agreement.

Fanglan came over with the finished clothes and happened to pass by Yueyan, but she was smart enough not to ask Yueyan where she was going. Instead, she let Gu Jiaorong look at the clothes.

"Look, Auntie. This is the latest dress I've made. The material was specially sent by the prince. It's better than the material I used before."

Gu Jiaorong once wanted to sew something for the child, but her craftsmanship was so poor that if the child was wrapped in the quilt, the child would probably be scared to tears. She had no choice but to give up and leave the matter completely to Fanglan.

"Let me see."

Gu Jiaorong took it and said with a smile, "I think it's good. The pattern is well embroidered. After all, your craftsmanship is better. If you give it to me, I'm afraid the material will be wasted."

Fanglan lowered her head slightly and gave a subtle smile.

"As long as my aunt likes it, I'm afraid you won't like the look of the embroidery."

Fanglan seems to have a low presence, but she is meticulous and careful in her work. She was specially selected by Fuan. Gu Jiaorong is always at ease with her doing these things.

"How could that be? I'm not particular. Besides, this child is newborn and doesn't know much. He doesn't care about the embroidery pattern. As long as the clothes and quilt are well sewn, that's fine."

When talking about the child, Gu Jiaorong's eyes became much softer, no longer full of calculation like when she spoke to Gu Fuying.

"I will do my best."

Fanglan immediately expressed her loyalty. Although she did not often serve Aunt Gu closely and Aunt Gu was mostly accompanied by Shaoyao, she knew that Aunt Gu treated them well and she cherished her kindness.

She was a person with a bad tongue and was never liked by her master. When the princess first entered the palace, she made things difficult for her and the maids in the prince's courtyard, including Shaoyao.

Later, Fu'an sent her and Shaoyao to his aunt's courtyard. She thought that the prince was punishing them on behalf of the princess, but she didn't expect that it was a good place for them.

There is no need to mention the past. Now she only wants to serve her aunt well.
