Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Chapter 192 Chinese New Year

After the winter solstice, the days seem to pass faster.

Or perhaps it was because Gu Jiaorong had difficulty moving around, and the weather was getting colder, so she always spent her time in her room and was unaware of the passage of time.

But just as Pei Xu said, this year they can indeed celebrate the New Year safely in Jinzhou City.

The capital city was in chaos and the emperor had no time to spare to take care of Pei Xu. He hoped that he could stay in Jinzhou City and not cause him any trouble.

Pei Xu has become less busy these days. At least when Gu Jiaorong wakes up, she can see Pei Xu.

Even though Pei Xu was working in the room, he was not completely idle.

When Pei Xu saw Gu Jiaorong wake up, he put down what he was holding and walked quickly to her side.

"You're awake. Would you like some warm water to moisten your throat?"

Pei Xu helped her sit up, his tone gentle.

He had become accustomed to taking such good care of Gu Jiaorong, fearing that she would feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Jiaorong didn't look very energetic. She nodded slightly, with a little mist in her eyes, which made her look moist and innocent and cute.

Pei Xu did not hand her the cup of water, but fed it directly to her lips.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."

Pei Xu was a little worried when he saw that she was drinking so quickly.

Gu Jiaorong drank enough water and pushed his arm slightly.

"It's okay, Your Highness is too nervous. I'm not a child anymore."

There was a smile in her tone, and it was obvious that there was indeed no problem.

Since she had just woken up, her mind was still a little unclear, so she didn't rush to get up. Instead, she looked at Pei Xu with her watery eyes, which were a little doubtful.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you go to the government office today?"

She knew that Pei Xu had serious things to do, so she never pestered him to accompany her every day.

Pei Xu put the water glass on the table before speaking.

"I'm not busy recently, so I'll stay at home with you. If anything happens, Fu'an will come to me."

Pei Xu had already arranged everything clearly, so there was no need for him to personally oversee it.

He brought so many people with him this time. If he has to do everything personally, then what is the point of keeping these people?

Gu Jiaorong never asked about his affairs. Seeing him say this, she stopped asking and just smiled and said:

"We've been in Jinzhou City for a while now, and the New Year is almost here. But this is our first time celebrating together, and also our first time celebrating in Jinzhou City. I'm afraid we won't have such an opportunity again in the future, so I wanted to make it a little more lively this year."

This is naturally not a difficult task, just leave it to the people below.

He knew Gu Jiaorong's family background. It made no difference whether she had relatives or not, so celebrating the New Year in Jinzhou City was just a matter of making the arrangements more festive.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you have a lively New Year."

Pei Xu touched her cheek. He was glad that he had resolved most of these messy things before the New Year, otherwise it would have been difficult to have a peaceful New Year.

He knew that although Gu Jiaorong entered the palace and escaped the hard and poor life of her childhood, she must have suffered some grievances.

Especially since she was good-looking and her mother had chosen her to be his concubine, some people must have been jealous. It wasn't because of his great charm or how many people liked him, but in the eyes of many servants, there were few ways to climb up the ladder, and the easiest one was to climb into the master's bed.

Even though others may not have such an opportunity, people's jealousy is very scary.

Pei Xu promised Gu Jiaorong that the New Year would be celebrated with great fanfare, so the next day, the people under him began to prepare quietly.

Gu Jiaorong knew what the people below were doing, but she never asked about it. After all, if a surprise appeared in front of her in advance, it would no longer be a surprise.

In this way, the surprise was quietly prepared for the New Year.

When Gu Jiaorong woke up, she saw the whole yard filled with joyful red.

It can be seen how much effort this group of people put in while she was sleeping.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but laugh, "You guys made so little noise that I didn't even notice it."

If you say that you really didn't find anything, then it's definitely a lie.

However, there was no need for Gu Jiaorong to show off her intelligence at this time. She only needed to acknowledge the other party's careful preparation.

"We were very careful and didn't dare to make any loud noises, for fear of disturbing Auntie."

Shaoyao replied with a smile. They all knew that the aunt was about to give birth, and the more careful she was, the more careful she had to be.

Gu Jiaorong knew that they didn't want to make any noise and must be very careful, so she could understand their intentions.

"You have worked hard, and you will all be rewarded."

Gu Jiaorong has always been generous, especially on such a happy day as today, she would naturally be even less stingy.

When Shaoyao heard this, she thanked him happily and said a lot of auspicious words.

Gu Jiaorong waved her hand and told them to continue with their work and not to bother her.

Although it was supposed to be lively, she was unable to move around easily and could do nothing but watch.

Pei Xu came from behind her and put a cloak on her.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Jinzhou City is now very stable. Although people's lives are still hard, at least they can get by.

Pei Xu knew that she was feeling uncomfortable in the yard, and tomorrow was the beginning of the new year, so he asked this question.

"No, there's nothing fun to do outside."

Gu Jiaorong shook her head. It was already past the time for her to want to go out, not to mention that it was freezing cold now and she had to wrap herself up like a ball to go out.

What's more, Jinzhou City is in a state of disrepair and there is really nothing fun to do there.

"Then don't go out. Let's celebrate the New Year in our own home."

Pei Xu smiled dotingly, raised his hand and touched her cheek to make sure she was not cold.

"These lanterns will be very beautiful at night."

Gu Jiaorong seemed to have seen that scene and couldn't help laughing.

"This is the best New Year I've ever had, Your Majesty, thank you."

Gu Jiaorong felt that she came into this world with a sense of nervousness but also a little joy. For her, this was a good life.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that modern life was getting further and further away from her. Except for the fact that she herself remembered, she looked no different from herself in that world.

Perhaps, in a short time, she would even forget herself.

Pei Xu didn't know what she was thinking, he just looked at her sideways.

"Let's go back to the house. It's still too cold outside."

Although Pei Xu didn't want to spoil the fun, he was also worried about her.

Gu Jiaorong did not refuse. She was already very happy after watching for a while.

"it is good."

They said it was going to be a lively occasion, and that’s what it was, except the atmosphere was more festive.
