Chapter 200 His Majesty's Summons
Listening to Jiang Wanyue's naked sarcasm, Bai Yiyi looked unhappy. She suppressed her anger and asked, "What does Miss Jiang mean by this?"
Jiang Wanyue's eyes swept coldly from bottom to top, with undisguised contempt and disdain.
"Miss Bai, that's what I mean."
Bai Yiyi was very embarrassed, but when her eyes met the crowd watching the excitement, she turned her eyes and hid the anger in her eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know that my appearance is not as beautiful as Miss Jiang's. I only admire Miss Jiang and want to be close to her, and I don't want to compare with her."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Fengqi pitifully, and lowered her attitude very low. "I am of humble status, and it is a great blessing to be favored by the prince. I dare not ask for more. In the future, I will be careful and will not dare to disrespect Miss Jiang. I only ask Miss Jiang to give Yiyi a place to stay in the future."
No matter how well-mannered Jiang Fengqi was, she was a little annoyed at this moment. Although she was the Princess of Yu appointed by His Majesty herself, she and Prince Yu had not yet married and were still a lady in the boudoir. It was extremely inappropriate for Bai Yiyi to say such words in front of her.
What's more, her current attitude makes it seem like I have bullied her, and if it gets out, I'll be branded as a jealous person.
Jiang Fengqi was a little annoyed, but at this moment Bai Yiyi was already humble enough that everything she said seemed aggressive.
"Cousin Yiyi." Gu Jin spoke in a warm and caring voice, not giving her a chance to play the victim. "Grandmother treats you and my aunt like pearls and treasures. She even treats you much better than my second sister and I. The Anding Marquis's Mansion will always be your home. Don't underestimate yourself."
Since he was not homeless, how could he ask Jiang Fengqi for a place to stay?
Jiang Fengqi smiled with relief, Ajin helped her out of the predicament again.
Bai Yiyi curled her lips and said reluctantly, "My cousin is right. Yiyi is not sensible."
Gu Jin stopped there. Although Bai Yiyi always wanted to take advantage of her, she never succeeded in doing so. So Gu Jin didn't plan to say anything more.
There was nothing wrong with Bai Yiyi and Prince Yu being in love with each other, but she couldn't just sit there and watch Jiang Fengqi being schemed against by her.
There was a flash of resentment in Bai Yiyi's eyes. She and Gu Jin were blood sisters, but Gu Jin would rather help an outsider.
She had thought that now that Gu Jin had become the Marquis' wife, they should help each other. Since Gu Jin didn't care about family ties, she wouldn't have to treat Gu Jin as a friend in the future!
"Big sister should have taught Bai Yiyi a lesson just now. How dare the daughter of a minor official try to bully our Jiang family!
If Big Sister doesn't control her temper soon, who knows how arrogant she will be in the future!" Jiang Wanyue's face was full of indignation, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction with Bai Yiyi.
But Jiang Fengqi didn't take it to heart and just said, "Wanyue, don't talk about others behind their backs."
Jiang Wanyue wanted to say something else, but Gu Jin smiled and said, "Second Miss Jiang really has a deep sisterly love for Feng Qi and cares deeply about her. However, if Feng Qi had argued with her in public just now, it would have made Feng Qi look intolerant."
Jiang Wanyue then realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Big sister, I am really worried and confused. I am angry that Bai Yiyi snatched away His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Please don't blame me, okay?"
"I don't blame you." Jiang Fengqi just felt a little tired, "But don't say these things again in the future. It's not for us, as ministers, to say who Prince Yu likes."
Jiang Wanyue's eyes sparkled, and she lowered her head and said, "Wanyue knows she was wrong."
Gu Jin glanced at Jiang Wanyue thoughtfully, and when she stood up to greet others, Gu Jin casually said, "Last time at the Jiang family banquet, I saw that the second young lady was a very good person."
Especially, she cooperated very well with Mrs. Jiang. If she had not been prepared, she would have been tricked by the two of them.
Jiang Fengqi frowned slightly and understood the implication of Gu Jin's words.
She also felt that Jiang Wanyue was a little reckless today, as she had always been the most cautious in her actions in the past.
Jiang Fengqi's eyes turned slightly, and he had a vague idea in his mind.
At this moment, an eunuch suddenly came to Gu Jin's side, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Madam Qingyun, His Majesty summons you."
"Your Majesty called me?" Gu Jin was a little surprised.
Jiang Fengqi smiled and explained, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for winning the imperial edict for you. You should go and express your gratitude."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin did not doubt him and followed the young eunuch to the Zhangqian Palace.
"Madam, His Majesty and the Marquis are waiting for you inside."
Gu Jin nodded, lifted her skirt and stepped into the Zhangqian Palace, but the moment she crossed the threshold, the palace door behind her slammed shut...
