Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 229 Ending

It has been more than a year since Gu Jiaorong last cooked. Pei Xu thought she had given up the idea long ago. After all, there were many chefs in the imperial kitchen in the palace now, and she didn't need to do anything.

But Gu Jiaorong was determined to cook him dinner.

Pei Xu stood at the door of the imperial kitchen, looking at Gu Jiaorong with some concern.

Usually at this time, they would have already eaten.

I guess Gu Jiaorong is still not good at cooking.

But she was so stubborn and her attitude was so firm that Pei Xu had no way to stop her even if he wanted to.

But it was really difficult for Gu Jiaorong to cook alone, and Pei Xu was reluctant to do so. He finally spoke and gave instructions to the imperial chef.

"Go and help the Empress. Don't let her do it alone."

The imperial chefs also had their own grievances.

"Your Majesty, I have long offered to help Your Majesty, but Your Majesty disagreed and insisted on doing it herself, saying that she wanted to prepare a loving dinner for Your Majesty."

The imperial chef repeated Gu Jiaorong's words word for word.

But Pei Xu's frown remained unchanged. He was not afraid that Gu Jiaorong would make a bad meal, but he was afraid that she would hurt herself.

"Forget it, just wait here for now."

Pei Xu waved his hand and walked into the imperial kitchen.

Since Gu Jiaorong doesn't want the imperial chef to help, then he will come and help himself.

"Rong'er, it's too hard for you to cook dinner by yourself. Let me help you."

Pei Xu gently took the knife from her hand with a smile on his face.

Gu Jiaorong had known that Pei Xu was coming, and had expected that he would come in to help.

However, she still sighed and said in a dilemma: "But I want to cook a meal for His Majesty myself, and now I have someone to help me. Does His Majesty think I am stupid?"

Gu Jiaorong had long known that she had no talent for cooking. At first, she did want to try to cook a meal for Pei Xu, but the result was already obvious, so she could only play the role of Pei Xu.

Pei Xu didn't care whether she was sincere or not. When he heard this, he immediately said, "How could that be? I don't like you because you can cook. Otherwise, I would just marry a chef. Why would I marry you?"

Gu Jiaorong blinked and looked at him when she heard this.

"really?"

"There's no need for me to lie to you. We've been together for so long, how could you not know my heart? Don't even mention that you can't cook. Even if you burned down the imperial kitchen, I wouldn't blink an eye. But I'm worried about your safety. There are so many imperial chefs here. We can just let them prepare whatever we want to eat. I heard you've been busy all afternoon. Come back with me and get some rest."

Pei Xu put the knife in his hand on the table and held Gu Jiaorong's hand instead.

Compared to being affectionate in the kitchen, he still wanted to bring Gu Jiaorong back to the bedroom.

After all, the palace is not a prince's residence, there are people everywhere. Although he wanted to tease Gu Jiaorong, he didn't want to do it in front of everyone, nor did he want people to see a different side of Gu Jiaorong.

Pei Xu admitted that he was a very possessive person.

Gu Jiaorong wanted to be polite again, but she was afraid that Pei Xu would be serious and pull her to work in the imperial kitchen, so she held his hand and followed him out.

Anyway, the show has been done and her goal has been achieved.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me, don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage?"

Gu Jiaorong tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

Her smile is so sweet and becomes even brighter in the sunshine.

"Of course not. When you like someone, you don't care about gains or losses. Besides, you've paid a lot. If it weren't for you, there would be no Nian Nian and Sui Sui. I already have three treasures, and I'm very satisfied now."

One of the three treasures Pei Xu mentioned was her.

Gu Jiaorong knew what he meant and smiled with her lips pursed.

When she was in modern society, she had never been in a relationship. She always felt that if she couldn't give love to a child, she shouldn't have a child.

When she first came into this world, she didn't want to have children either. Every time the princess sent her contraceptive soup, she would drink it obediently. But Pei Xu wanted her to give birth to the child, so he stopped the contraceptive soup sent by Xie Wanning and gave her the peony and orchid instead.

She was uneasy at that time. She felt that she was living under Pei Xu's close surveillance. She didn't even have the choice of whether to have children or not. She could only be a little pet, waiting to be played with by her master.

When she found out she was pregnant, no one knew she was unhappy. Children had never been a tool for her to win favor, but she also knew that she had no choice.

After coming into this world, she clearly realized how huge the gap between classes was. The other party could kill her with just one word, and no one would think it was a wrong thing.

Gu Jiaorong had to be cautious, and even if she had to do something she didn't want to do, she had to do it with a smile.

She also had her own little thoughts. She was not that simple, but she wanted to live. She had to live.

Now she not only survived, but also stood at the pinnacle of power.

Even though Pei Xu could still take her life with a single word, her situation was much better than before. Her children received the love of their parents and also obtained the right of inheritance.

Nian Nian and Sui Sui were not illegitimate children, but legitimate sons born to the queen.

Gu Jiaorong knew that this was the best outcome she had ever gotten for herself.

She tilted her head to look at the man beside her, and how much of this was presented to her by Pei Xu willingly.

"Your Majesty, I am truly glad that you are the person I met in my life."

Gu Jiaorong knew that if it were someone else, she might not have such a good ending.

Although Pei Xu sometimes does things in a despicable way, he is willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones and children.

No matter how long this devotion lasts, or how long his love lasts, at this moment, Gu Jiaorong is grateful to him.

"I am glad too..."

Pei Xu smiled, but what he didn't finish was that he was glad that he stood in front of the window that day, and he was also glad that he looked out the window and let the sunny girl walk into his sight.

If it weren't for that glance, he didn't know whether he and Gu Jiaorong would still be together today.

But he didn't mention the past. After all, their past memories were not all sweet, and the current situation was good enough.

Pei Xu held Gu Jiaorong's hand tightly, and the smile on his face became more obvious.

"Rong'er, don't worry or be afraid. Our family will be together forever. No matter what happens in the future, it won't be a problem."

This was Pei Xu's promise to her.

Gu Jiaorong understood. If it were in the past, she might not have responded, but at this moment, she suddenly wanted to respond to Pei Xu.

"Your Majesty, I know."

Gu Jiaorong held his hand back, her voice soft and warm.
