Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 218 Giving Her Security

Pei Xu did not write an imperial edict to establish the queen, but directly told Gu Jiaorong that he had prepared a wedding for them.

What she didn't have at the beginning, Pei Xu will now make up for it all.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

Gu Jiaorong was a little bit unbelieving. She knew that Pei Xu had feelings for her, but she also knew what the position of queen meant.

Pei Xu held her hand and answered with a smile.

"Of course this is true, Rong'er. I told you a long time ago that we will always be a family. There will be no one else."

Pei Xu did not need to rely on women to secure his throne, nor did he have any intention of expanding his harem.

"Our son is the crown prince, and our daughter is a noble princess. No one can destroy our family."

Pei Xu would never allow such a thing to happen.

Gu Jiaorong shook his hand back and nodded heavily.

She had never thought that the result would be like this, but it did surprise her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Apart from this, Gu Jiaorong didn’t know what to say.

Pei Xu understood her feelings. Just as his mother had said, there was a huge difference in their status, which made Gu Jiaorong feel insecure.

Now that Gu Jiaorong has become the queen, and is recognized by all civil and military officials, even Pei Xu cannot touch her easily.

This is the protection Pei Xu gave her.

"There's no need to say thank you between you and me. It would be too polite to say thank you."

Pei Xu always hoped to eliminate the gap between them, rather than always staying between them and pushing Gu Jiaorong away.

"You don't have to do anything these days. Just rest well and wait for the wedding. After we get married, the imperial decree to appoint the crown prince will also be issued."

Pei Xu had a strong sense of order. He wanted to establish a crown prince, but he did not want the crown prince to be ranked before the queen.

Gu Jiaorong had no objection to the arrangement. She knew that love was unreliable, but power was very reliable. As long as she held on to the power in her hands tightly, she would not be afraid of any accidents.

Although Nian Nian was appointed as the crown prince and was no longer an ordinary prince, if he did not have a strong mother and Pei Xu had other children, his path would be difficult.

So, no matter what Pei Xu gives her now, she will not refuse.

Gu Jiaorong did not feel that she was unworthy. In the past two years, she pretended to be clever and obedient, accompanied Pei Xu through dangers and hardships, and watched him sit on the throne. Even if she had no merit, she had worked hard.

Now that the time for settlement has come, it would be a huge loss for her if she had nothing.

Gu Jiaorong never thought that love should be selfless. If you keep giving, you will only get hurt.

"okay, I get it."

Gu Jiaorong nodded. After all, what she was best at was waiting.

Pei Xu's movements were not slow, and he had already started preparing for the wedding ceremony of the emperor and empress, so Gu Jiaorong did not have to wait too long.

Seeing that he had finished his business, Gu Jiaorong stuffed Sui Sui into his arms.

In this era, sons are naturally more likely to please their fathers than daughters, especially the eldest son. The daughters of emperors of all dynasties were often married off to foreign princes. Gu Jiaorong did not want her daughter to follow this path, so she needed Pei Xu to show more affection to her daughter so that he would not be reluctant to let her leave her hometown.

Pei Xu didn't know what Gu Jiaorong was thinking. If he knew what she was thinking, he would definitely tell her righteously that from his point of view, the daughter of the Pei family would never be married off as a foreign marriage.

Defending a country has never been a woman's job. Asking a woman to sacrifice herself to maintain the stability of the country can only show that the men of this dynasty are incompetent.

However, they never discussed such issues, and Pei Xu would not bring it up abruptly.

"We grow more beautiful as we grow older. I think these eyes look most like yours."

Pei Xu looked at his daughter carefully and spoke with a smile.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't tell, after all, the child was still young, but when Pei Xu said that, she smiled and said, "I think Sui Sui's nose is also very similar to your Majesty's, very straight. When Sui Sui grows up, she will definitely be a beauty famous throughout the capital."

In fact, she doesn't care about her daughter's appearance, she just hopes that her daughter can be happy.

However, she also took this opportunity to praise Pei Xu.

Niannian, who was standing aside, seemed to understand what the adults said. He stretched out his little hands and babbled, as if to say that he would be very handsome when he grew up.

This is true. Pei Xusheng is tall and handsome, and Gu Jiaorong is also a beauty. Naturally, the child born from the two of them will not be ugly.

Gu Jiaorong shook Nian Nian and tapped his forehead with a smile, "You are such a clever kid. I just want to praise my sister, but you want to join in the fun."

Whenever Nian Nian saw his mother interacting with him, he would smile obediently again.

Pei Xu looked at his son and daughter and felt extremely satisfied.

He thought back to when he first met Gu Jiaorong, and all he wanted was a child. It didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl, as long as he could keep her. But he never expected that he would end up with both a son and a daughter.

Pei Xu felt that his life had been very fulfilling and he had no regrets.

"We are so smart Nian Nian, we will definitely protect our sister when we grow up."

Pei Xu was very glad that his daughter did not come into this world alone, otherwise when he and Gu Jiaorong grew old, there would be no one to protect his daughter.

In Pei Xu's heart, his daughter still cannot inherit the throne like his son. Gu Jiaorong has no idea about this. After all, this is not the modern era, and deeply rooted ideas are difficult to change.

If Suisui really has the ability to change the world when he grows up, she will naturally support him. If Suisui just wants to live a peaceful life, that's also fine.

Gu Jiaorong will not impose her ideals on her children.

"As for protecting my sister, I think it would be better for Your Majesty to do it. It's still early."

Gu Jiaorong smiled with her eyes curved. She would not ask for things for herself, but she would ask for things for her children.

Pei Xu understood what she meant, and he naturally wanted to leave more protection for his daughter.

Now that he is young, there will naturally be no problem, but people are subject to misfortunes at any time, and things are not always good, so he had already made plans when his daughter was born.

"Don't worry, I won't let our children suffer any injustice."

All the preparations Pei Xu has made will be made public after the wedding, but at the moment, he has no plans to say it out loud.

It’s not that I don’t trust Gu Jiaorong, but I want to give her a surprise.

The old men from the palace who had always been with Gu Jiaorong now followed her into the palace. Shaoyao, Fanglan and Yueyan still served Gu Jiaorong, and Shaoyao became the head maid.

After all, the head maid is different from the others. Fanglan's introverted personality does not suit her, and she herself is not very motivated, while Yueyan is young and not thorough in her work.

Pei Xu's plan this time was mainly assisted by Shaoyao.
