Gu Qingcheng, a talented woman of her generation and a virtuous empress, was reborn. She refused to repeat the path of glory from her previous life. What's this about "inner beauty shines t...
"Hello, Miss Anqi!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded reservedly, politely yet distantly.
"Princess Qingcheng, next weekend, I will hold a masquerade ball at the Marshal's Mansion. All the celebrities and noblemen in the capital will be there."
Anqi did not act too anxious, she even managed to put on a decent smile.
Gu Qingcheng understood instantly. Yes, this was not an ordinary banquet, but a Thanksgiving banquet held by the Chouguo Mansion.
If Anqi had any brains, she wouldn't and wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
Even if she wants to find fault or humiliate someone, Anqi will find the most suitable opportunity in a more appropriate occasion and give it a good go!
It seems that the real highlight of the show is the masquerade ball.
"Princess, may I have the honor of inviting you to my masquerade ball?"
Anqi said it very politely.
The several wealthy ladies surrounding her expressed their dissatisfaction, "Oh, Miss Anqi, you are too polite!"
"That's right! You are the most famous lady in the capital. It is our great honor to be able to attend your ball!"
"That's right! Oh, it's ridiculous that some people can never see the reality. When others say a few polite words, they really think they are 'princesses'."
These guys are just like the lackeys in all the melodramatic novels.
She is the mouthpiece and the one who sticks up for some of the white lotus and green tea female supporting roles.
She is still pure and kind, but her "grievances" are clearly stated by others.
If the occasion is right and the time is right, these people will rush forward with their fangs bared and act as thugs.
As for Anqi, not only does she not reveal her ugly side, she can also be kind and say nice things, continuing to build her image as a little fairy.
Well, now that the lackeys have said everything they need to say and cursed, isn't it time for their master, Anqi, to show off her perfection?
Sure enough, An Qi frowned slightly and said softly, "Miss Chen, Miss Feng, please stop talking."
"My masquerade ball welcomes every guest who wishes to come."
"Besides, the feudal dynasty has collapsed. Now we have a new democratic country where everyone is equal and free!"
An Qi said righteously.
A hint of interest flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
Oh no, listen to what he said, it seems that he is speaking for Princess Qingcheng.
In reality, the needle hidden in the cotton was meant to pierce Princess Qingcheng—Da Qing was dead! Without an emperor, there was no princess either!
As the last princess, you have no right to be noble, and you have no reason to be proud.
Sure enough, after hearing what Anqi said, the ladies all smiled knowingly.
"Yes! The dynasty has fallen!"
"Hehe, An Qi is right. She is worthy of being the most famous lady in Beijing. She is knowledgeable and has a good vision!"
"That's right. There's no longer any such thing as master and servants. We are all citizens of the Republic of China. There's no distinction between high and low, no noble or humble!"
Everyone started to make a fuss.
Gu Qingcheng was not stupid, so she could hear the sarcasm and ridicule from these people.
If it were the original owner, or a survivor of the previous dynasty with the same status as the original owner, they would definitely be sad, or even angry, after hearing such words.
However, there are no ifs.
Gu Qingcheng is not the original owner. Even though she has experienced the pain of a princess of a fallen country, as a person involved in government affairs, she also knows the principle of being able to bend and stretch.
It was just a few sarcastic remarks from a little girl. If the time really came, Gu Qingcheng would be able to swallow her pride.
As long as you are not strong enough, you must be prepared to be trampled on by others.
Facing the ridicule of the crowd, Gu Qingcheng did not get angry or annoyed, nor did she respond.
She just smiled reservedly, as if the people in front of her were just a bunch of clowns.
As long as you are not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.
As long as you don't care about other people's ridicule, then those people's ridicule itself becomes a joke.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng remained unmoved in the face of such sarcasm, An Qi's eyes flashed with anger.
However, she kept her own personality in mind - she was the noble daughter of a marshal, not a ferocious shrew in the street.
If she wants to teach someone a lesson, she will have her lackeys to fight for her.
She just needs to stand aside and continue her nobility and beauty!
But Gu Qingcheng in front of him was being ridiculed like this, but she was still able to endure it.
"Hmph, I don't know if he can really endure it, or if he's like the Last Emperor and doesn't dare to attack."
An Qi thought secretly.
An Qi was somewhat disappointed that Gu Qingcheng did not quarrel with the ladies because she could not bear the humiliation.
However, Anqi did not forget that today was a banquet at the Chouguo Mansion, so she didn't want to cause any trouble.
Well, I'll teach "Princess Allure" a lesson at my own masquerade ball next week.
Thinking of this, An Qi made another offer, "Princess Qingcheng, you haven't accepted my invitation yet?"
"Do you think my masquerade is not decent enough? You are unwilling to condescend to me?"
Is this an attempt to "force the emperor to abdicate"?
Gu Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Thank you Miss Anqi for the invitation. I will go to the masquerade party next weekend."
"Okay! Then I will be waiting for your arrival, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The smile on Anqi's face finally extended to her eyes.
Her eyes flickered, and she seemed to be starting to think about how to "entertain" the honorable Princess Gulun!
Gu Qingcheng nodded again with dignity, indicating, "Don't worry, I will condescend to make your banquet shine!"
Gu Qingcheng's expression made An Qi quite dissatisfied.
