After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 228 Lobbyist

When Gu Jin saw Bai Yiyi again, he was suddenly stunned for a moment.

In her memory, Bai Yiyi always kept her head down and looked submissive, always looking weak and pitiful.

But today, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes with dazzling pearls on her head. She smiled at him, and her every move was full of calmness and nobility.

Gu Jin couldn't help but sigh that power feeds people.

"Cousin, long time no see." Bai Yiyi smiled sweetly and looked at Gu Jin with sparkling eyes.

Gu Jin raised his eyebrows, "Yes, it's been a long time since I last saw Concubine Bai, but she has become more beautiful."

Bai Yiyi brushed the gorgeous hairpins on her temples and said, "Cousin, you are too kind. I am not even one tenth as beautiful as you."

Bai Yiyi knew very well that she was not as beautiful as Gu Jin, but she was not jealous. It was enough for her that Prince Yu liked her.

"Then I won't disturb Concubine Bai from her meal. I'll ask the waiter to serve her a pot of good wine later. It's my treat." Gu Jin didn't want to have too much to do with her, but it was obvious that Bai Yiyi came here for her today.

Bai Yiyi looked at Gu Jin sadly, "We just met cousin, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you even want to sit with Yiyi for a while?"

"How could that be? Then please go upstairs, Concubine Bai." Gu Jin didn't want to argue with her in front of others, so he invited her upstairs politely.

Bai Yiyi felt relieved.

Power is indeed a good thing. Now even Gu Jin has to give her face.

"I wonder what business Concubine Bai has in coming to see me today?" Gu Jin went straight to the point, not wanting to play along.

Bai Yiyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Cousin, you can still call me Yiyi. Don't feel distant from me just because I'm the prince's concubine.

I don’t have any biological brothers or sisters, and I have always regarded the Anding Marquis’s Mansion as my own home. My cousin and cousin Rou are both my closest sisters.”

Seeing Gu Jin drinking tea without saying anything, Bai Yiyi put down the teacup and said, "Marquis Qingyun has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and your school has trained many talents for the State of Chen. Whenever the prince mentions you and your wife, he always praises you highly."

Gu Jin almost laughed out loud. Bai Yiyi's lie was too fake.

It's a good character of Prince Yu that he didn't scold them.

"Concubine Bai, are you here today to act as a lobbyist?"

Bai Yiyi smiled and said nothing.

"A good bird chooses the right tree to inhabit. Although Marquis Qingyun is extremely talented, he still needs someone to appreciate him in order to rise to the top.

The prince has a good reputation outside. If Marquis Qingyun is willing to assist the prince, the prince will not treat you unfairly in the future."

Gu Jin put his finger on his lips and said, "Concubine Bai, please don't say such treasonous words again in the future.

As a minister, Xie Ran is supposed to assist the current emperor. Concubine Bai, be careful that this statement is overheard by others or you will get into trouble."

Bai Yiyi smiled nonchalantly, "It's just me and my cousin here, there's no need to be on guard."

Although Bai Yiyi is favored by Prince Yu, she still feels a little uneasy in her heart, so she hopes that Prince Yu can see her value.

Xie Ran has talent for managing the world. If she can persuade Xie Ran to become Prince Yu's aide, Prince Yu will definitely look upon her with higher regard.

"I don't understand or have any interest in the affairs of the previous dynasty. If Concubine Bai asks me which wine and food are delicious, I can introduce them to you."

Seeing Gu Jin's refusal, Bai Yiyi frowned and said, "My cousin is a smart person, she should know that a man who knows the current situation is a hero.

Prince Heng is in such a precarious position that there is no hope of recovery. My cousin and Marquis Qingyun should not insist on going their own way."

Gu Jin lost his patience and stood up and said, "I've already said it before, I'm not interested in these things.

Besides, even if we want to discuss it, it should be Prince Yu and Xie Ran who are here, not just you and me casually discussing it.

I have something else to do so I won't accompany Concubine Bai. Please do as you please."

"Gu Jin!" Seeing that Gu Jin was so disrespectful to her, Bai Yiyi also put away her good expression, "I know you have always looked down on me. Today I was kind enough to show you a way forward, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful!"

Gu Jin found it funny, "When did I look down on you?"

Bai Yiyi said coldly: "You are on good terms with Jiang Fengqi and the young lady from the Murong family, but you ignored me when I greeted you with a smile, isn't it because I don't have anything you can desire?

If Jiang Fengqi became the Princess of Yu today, would you treat her with such cold eyes? "

"You are wrong." Gu Jin said calmly, looking at Bai Yiyi indifferently and said, "If Feng Qi was Princess Yu, she would never come to me today and say such a thing."

“Real friends and family respect each other, not being aggressive like you are.

Are you looking for me today for my sake, or to gain merit in front of Prince Yu?"

Gu Jin ruthlessly exposed her little thoughts and walked away indifferently.

Bai Yiyi clenched her fists and was extremely angry.

Ever since she became Prince Yu's concubine, all the people in the Bai family had been humble before her. Not only did they return all the family property they had previously occupied, they also doubled their gifts to her with many good things.

How dare Gu Jin be so rude to her!

She refused to give up and chased after him, but she didn't catch up with Gu Jin and met Li Ziheng instead.

"It turns out to be the young prince." Bai Yiyi suddenly felt a subtle sense of comfort in her heart.

In the past he looked on coldly at her, but today she has transformed herself into someone who is out of his reach. It seems that Li Ziheng must have regretted what he did back then.

Li Ziheng only glanced at her and asked indifferently, "Who are you?"

Bai Yiyi: “…”
