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

Gu Jin was surprised when he heard that Prince Yu was going to take Bai Yiyi as a concubine. He and Jiang Fengqi hadn't even gotten married yet, but the news of taking a concubine came out. Wouldn't that make Jiang Fengqi vulnerable to criticism?

Su sighed and said, "Ordinary men have three wives and four concubines, let alone the imperial family. I just feel pity for Miss Jiang."

If Jiang Fengqi did not marry into the royal family, then with the power of the Jiang family, who would dare to let her suffer injustice? No matter which mansion she married into, she would be the mistress who had the final say.

But she chose to marry Prince Yu. In the eyes of the Jiang family, Prince Yu was far better than Jiang Fengqi, the legitimate daughter.

Gu Jin had never linked Prince Yu and Bai Yiyi together, but she never expected that Bai Yiyi would quietly become Prince Yu's concubine.

"I wonder how Fengqi is doing now." What happened to the Liu family and the Zhang family was still vivid in Gu Jin's mind, and he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Fengqi's situation.

When Gu Rou heard the news, she immediately selected a gift and sent it to Bai Yiyi. When Li Ying'er came to look for her, she saw them and said unhappily, "She hasn't even entered Prince Yu's mansion yet, and you can't wait to curry favor with her?"

Gu Rou glanced at her and said unhappily, "How can sending gifts between sisters be considered as currying favor? Haven't I sent gifts to you, my cousin, before?"

"Even so, you still have to distinguish between the relatives and the strangers! Bai Yiyi is obviously a scheming person. You may treat her as a sister, but she may not be!"

Gu Rou laughed secretly in her heart. She really wanted to return these words to Li Ying'er word for word.

Her cousin relied on her father being the Minister of Personnel and was always arrogant. She always flattered and gave in to her, but in the end, she never thought about herself at all about the benefits she got.

Gu Rou's eyes turned, and a gloating smile flashed in her eyes, "Cousin, are you still angry about being scolded by Prince Yu that day?"

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Ying'er's cheeks turned red and she retorted subconsciously.

Seeing Li Ying'er like this, Gu Rou felt even more relieved. After all, Bai Yiyi had always been humble and had never offended her.

"If you ask me, cousin, you should change your temper. You are always arrogant to everyone, and now you have hit a wall!

Bai Yiyi is also my cousin, so you two are related. Your uncle works for Prince Yu, so I advise you not to get angry with your cousin Yiyi anymore."

Li Ying'er originally wanted to complain to Gu Rou, but unexpectedly she was ridiculed by her instead.

"Okay, okay, it's true that whoever feeds you is your mother. I want to see how much power you can borrow from your cousin Yiyi in the future!"

Li Ying'er left angrily. Gu Rou rolled her eyes and personally sent a message to Bai Yiyi, "Tell your cousin to come and play with me when she's free. I've prepared her favorite Lu'an Guapian."

The status of the Marquis of Anding's mansion also increased because of this incident, and many people came to visit in the past few days.

Gu Baozhu instantly felt proud, and she no longer had the depressed look after being rejected by Marquis Yongchang. Her daughter became Prince Yu's concubine, and when Prince Yu ascended the throne, she would be the imperial consort. Wouldn't that mean she would become the emperor's mother-in-law!

The more Gu Baozhu thought about it, the more proud she became. At that time, she would not even look down on the mere Marquis of Yongchang!

Gu Baozhu was very proud of herself, but Mrs. Jiang was very angry when she heard it.

Prince Yu chose concubines before marrying his principal wife, and he really didn't care about their reputation at all.

She was afraid that Jiang Fengqi would think too much, so she hurried over to check on him. However, she saw Jiang Fengqi painting leisurely and contentedly. Seeing her coming, she smiled gently and said, "Mother is here, please sit down."

Madam Jiang glanced at the painting of laurel in autumn by Jiang Fengqi, and then looked at Jiang Fengqi's calm smile. Her words of comfort turned into complaints as soon as they came out of her mouth, "Didn't you hear that Prince Yu wanted to take Bai Yiyi as his concubine? Why are you so concerned about it?"

On the other hand, Jiang Fengqi had a calm expression on his face. He just smiled and said, "My cousin Prince Yu will take a concubine sooner or later. What's the point of me worrying about it?"

"In the past, I told you to cultivate your relationship with Prince Yu from time to time, but you just wouldn't listen. Now, a woman from a small family has taken the lead!

Although men will have three wives and four concubines, if you can be favored by the emperor for two years, you can give birth to a legitimate son earlier. Now, after you marry, Bai Yiyi will follow you. What if she gives birth to a child first?"

"What kind of person does mother want me to become?" Jiang Fengqi looked at Mrs. Jiang calmly and suddenly asked.

Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment, then she heard Jiang Fengqi slowly say, "My mother has always told me that I will marry my cousin Prince Yu as a princess, and then become the queen who rules the country.

The royal family needs to expand, and my cousin Prince Yu will have many concubines in the future. Even if he can really ascend the throne to become emperor, I will have to personally prepare a selection for him.

Isn't this what I should do? Isn't this the queen everyone wants?"

Mrs. Jiang murmured and was speechless for a moment. She suddenly felt that her daughter, who looked so peaceful, looked so strange.

Jiang Fengqi stared at her intently, a trace of sadness in her eyes, "But if mother wants me to compete with other women and do everything I can to win over this man, I'm sorry, I can't do it.

Because my daughter doesn't love him, he is not the husband I chose, but you chose him for me."

Jiang Fengqi has always obediently accepted her family's arrangements for her life. The Jiang family has given her a life of luxury, and she should also shoulder the responsibilities of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter, so even if she didn't want to, she never resisted.

But she is a person, not a puppet, and at least her heart is still her own.

Although Jiang Fengqi didn't say anything, Mrs. Jiang could see that she was silently resisting.

Mrs. Jiang was a little panicked. She was afraid that her daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would suddenly escape from her control, so she used anger to cover up her panic. "Feng Qi, you should know that we are doing this for your own good. What else in the world can compare to the honor of being the mother of a country?

You used to be the most sensible person, it must be that Gu Jin who led you astray!

I think even the incident with Bai Yiyi might have been planned by her. If she hadn't brought Bai Yiyi to the palace banquet, how could Prince Yu have met her? She is such a vicious little bitch!"

Jiang Fengqi was silent at first, but when he saw that Mrs. Jiang was unreasonably accusing her friend, he immediately retorted, "What does this have to do with Ah Jin? How can mother slander others casually?

Ah Jin is the most open-minded person in the world, her ambitions are not limited to this small house..."

Madam Jiang sneered, not believing a word she said, "Are you honest? Have you forgotten that she just plotted against us?

If the Queen Mother had not returned, Prince Yu would have suffered a huge setback, and Prince Heng would have benefited then.

Silly boy, you have been deceived!"

Mrs. Jiang didn't want to listen to her excuses anymore and left in anger. She coldly ordered the maid beside her, "Tell the concierge to send all the letters sent to the young lady to me!"

She would never let that little bitch Gu Jin ruin her precious daughter!

Jiang Fengqi slumped weakly on the chair, staring blankly at the pearl hairpin sent by Concubine Jiang on the dressing table.

If Ajin was her, how would she choose?

It is said that Gu Jin originally disguised herself as a man and went to the Pingxi Palace as Jingu, but was discovered by the Pingxi Princess at a glance.

Gu Jin touched his nose awkwardly, "I actually think I look pretty similar."

Princess Pingxi smiled and said, "I don't blame you. You really look like a young man in your attire. It's just that when I was young, I often dressed as a man, so I could tell at a glance."

Gu Jin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Princess Pingxi, who was so quiet and gentle, would do something so unorthodox.

Seeing what Gu Jin was thinking, Princess Pingxi's eyes were filled with reminiscence, but her tone was hard to describe as proud. "Although we are old now, we were also very active when we were young. We experienced all kinds of life, such as war and iron horses, revenge and enmity, and even did crazy things that you can't imagine."

The gentle look in Princess Pingxi's eyes was mixed with the kindness that an elder in the family has towards a younger generation. In fact, she had just lied to Gu Jin about something.

The reason why she saw through Gu Jin was not because she revealed her flaws, but because her mother looked like this when she was dressed as a man...
