Chapter 231 Collection
Jiang Wanyue had never had an argument with Bai Yiyi since she entered the mansion. Even when Prince Yu mentioned it casually this time, she readily agreed to Bai Yiyi's request and allowed her to prepare the flower banquet together.
Therefore, when Jiang Wanyue fell ill, Prince Yu not only did not have any suspicion, but came to visit her specially.
"Since you are ill, you should rest and recuperate. Yiyi is a legitimate daughter at home, so it should not be difficult for her to take care of the household affairs."
Jiang Wanyue sneered in her heart. He said he came to visit her, but in fact he came to support that bitch Bai Yiyi.
"Your Highness is right. With Sister Bai's help, I can rest assured and recuperate." Jiang Wanyue responded gently, and took the opportunity to suggest that Gu Baozhu come to the prince's mansion to help.
“The palace is not like other palaces, and it is always inappropriate to seek help from outsiders.
But Madam Bai is not only Sister Bai’s mother, but also comes from the Anding Marquis’s Mansion, so it will be easier for Sister Bai to have her help.”
Prince Yu did not suspect anything. He did not want Bai Yiyi to be involved in the mundane affairs of the mansion. What he liked was the purity and fragility of Bai Yiyi, so he agreed immediately.
When Gu Baozhu learned that Prince Yu had invited her to his mansion to help prepare for the flower banquet, she immediately became arrogant.
She is the only one in the capital who can enter the palace to help manage it, which is enough to show how much Prince Yu values Yiyi.
Gu Baozhu was not a low-key person to begin with. In addition, her husband died early and the Bo family gradually declined, so she really had nothing to show off.
Now that she has suddenly gained power, she can't wait to spread the news to the whole world.
Bai Yiyi couldn't help but remind her, "Mother, we must make this flower banquet beautiful and let everyone see my ability. Only then can I ask Prince Yu for the power of housekeeper in the future."
"Don't worry, I can easily organize a banquet."
Bai Yiyi thought this was a good idea. A lot of things needed to be purchased for the banquet. She had just arrived at the palace and had no confidants around her. She would feel more at ease leaving the purchasing to her mother.
Gu Baozhu has been in high spirits these days. The servants in the palace are very good at observing people's words and expressions. They can see that Prince Yu favors Bai Yiyi, so they are particularly respectful to Gu Baozhu, which makes Gu Baozhu even more arrogant.
She held the power of purchasing, and merchants who wanted to do business with Prince Yu's Mansion had to pay tribute to her in advance to please her.
Looking at the flowing accounts, even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anding, she couldn't help but be stunned. Even when the Marquis's Mansion was at its most prosperous and glorious, it was not even a fraction as wealthy as the Royal Palace.
No wonder everyone wants to move up.
The white silver was so dazzling that Gu Baozhu couldn't help but salivate. If all this silver was hers, her life would be so comfortable.
Although Jiang Wanyue stayed in her own courtyard all the time, she did not miss any news from outside.
Hearing that Gu Baozhu was bossing around in the palace, she curled her lips without any surprise, "I've already inquired about it. Gu is a person with high aspirations but low skills. Although he is a little clever, he is not cunning.
Although they both came from the Anding Marquis’ Mansion, Gu Shi cannot be compared with Gu Jin at all.”
"We've praised her for so long, it's time to put an end to their arrogance." Jiang Wanyue's eyes were free of sharpness, and a smile of determination appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Finally the day of the palace flower banquet arrived.
Gu Jin was invited to come. When Gu Baozhu saw Gu Jin, she immediately came over and said with a smug look in her eyes, "Fate is determined by heaven. Some people work hard but end up with nothing but an imperial decree. They are just a minister for the rest of their lives and are no different from slaves in the eyes of nobles.
Unlike my Yiyi, who was born to be a master."
Gu Jin moved the peony in the pot and curled his lips meaningfully, "Wealth is good, but it is only real if you can grasp it. If it is fleeting like a passing cloud, then it is better to live a simple life..."
