"Hello, Miss Angel!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded reservedly, politely but distantly.
"Princess Qingcheng, next weekend, I will hold a masquerade party at the Marshal's Mansion. All the ladies and noblemen from the capital will be present."
Angel didn't act too eager, she even had a decent smile.
Gu Qingcheng instantly understood, yes, this was not an ordinary banquet, but a Thanksgiving banquet held at the Chouguo Mansion.
If An Qi had any sense, she wouldn't or wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
Even if she wants to find trouble or humiliate her, An Qi will find the most suitable opportunity on a more suitable occasion to have a good fight!
It seems that the real "drama" is the masquerade party.
"Princess, I wonder if I can have the honor of asking you to attend my masquerade ball?"
Angie said it very politely.
The wealthy ladies surrounding her all expressed their dissatisfaction, "Oh, Miss An Qi, you are too polite!"
"That's right! You are the number one lady in the capital, and it is a great honor for us to be able to attend your ball!"
"No! Oh, it's ridiculous that some people can't see the reality clearly. When others say a few polite words, they really think of themselves as 'princess'."
These guys are just like the bad guys out there.
He is the mouthpiece and leading figure of some white lotus and green tea female partners.
She was still innocent and kind, but her "grievances" were clearly stated.
If the situation is right and the time comes, these people will rush forward with all their teeth and claws, acting as thugs.
As for An Qi, not only does she not show her ugly side, she can also say nice words in a nice and kind way, and continue to create her own little fairy persona.
Well, the losers have finished all the words that need to be said and cursed. Isn’t it time for the master An Qi 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."
"Moreover, the feudal dynasty has been destroyed, and now it is a new democratic country, where everyone is equal and free!"
An Qi said sternly.
A flash of interest flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes.
Oh, listen to this. On the surface, she is speaking for Princess Qingcheng.
In fact, the needle hidden in the cotton pricks Princess Qingcheng - Daqing is dead! There is no emperor and no princess!
A certain last-generation princess, you are not qualified to be noble, let alone have the confidence to be proud.
Sure enough, upon hearing An Qi's words, the misses all showed knowing smiles.
"Yes! The dynasty has been destroyed!"
"Hehe, An Qi is right. She is indeed the number one lady in Beijing. She is knowledgeable and well-organized!"
"That's right, now we no longer have the attitude of being masters and slaves. We are all citizens of the Republic of China. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority!"
Everyone booed.
Gu Qingcheng was not stupid, so he could not detect the overt sarcasm and undertones of these people.
If it were the original owner, or a survivor of the previous dynasty with the same status as the original owner, hearing such words would definitely be sad, even sad and angry.
However, there is no if.
Gu Qingcheng is not the original owner. Even though she feels the pain of a subjugated princess, as a person in government affairs, she also knows the principle of being able to bend and stretch.
It's just a few sarcastic words from a little girl, but if necessary, Gu Qingcheng can do it.
As long as you are not strong enough, you must be prepared to be trampled on at will.
Facing the ridicule from everyone, Gu Qingcheng didn't get angry or angry or 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, 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.
An Qi saw that Gu Qingcheng remained unmoved in the face of such cynicism, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
However, she kept her persona in mind - she was a distinguished handsome man's daughter, not a arrogant street shrew.
If she wants to teach someone a lesson, she will have the losers around her to fight for her.
She just needs to stand aside and continue her noble and beautiful life!
But the Gu Qingcheng in front of him could still bear it despite being ridiculed like this.
"Huh, I don't know if I can really bear it, or if I'm like the last emperor who doesn't dare to have an attack."
An Qi thought to herself.
Gu Qingcheng didn't quarrel with the misses because he couldn't bear the humiliation, which somewhat disappointed An Qi.
However, An Qi did not forget that today was a banquet at Chou Guo Mansion, so it was not a good idea to cause a scene.
Well, let’s teach “Princess Qingcheng” a lesson at her masquerade party next week.
Thinking of this, An Qi made another offer, "Princess Qingcheng, you haven't agreed to my invitation yet?"
"Do you think my masquerade is not decent enough? Are you unwilling to be humble?"
Is this to "force the palace"?
Gu Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Thank you, Miss An Qi, for the invitation. I will go to the masquerade party next weekend."
"Okay! Then I'll be waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess to arrive!"
The smile on An Qi's face finally extended to her eyes.
Her eyes flickered, and she seemed to be thinking about how to "entertain" the noble Princess Gu Lun now!
Gu Qingcheng nodded her head reservedly and said, "Don't worry, I will deign to make your banquet shine!"
Gu Qingcheng's expression made An Qi dissatisfied.
However, the nobility that comes from her bones makes An Qi hate and envy her at the same time!
Princess Qingcheng is the real princess, and she, this handsome daughter, is just a dusty sparrow.
Her handsome father was a former soldier.
If she hadn't caught up with the "good times", An Qi wouldn't be called An Qi, but a wild girl like Cui Hua and Da Ya.
Now she has become the so-called first lady in Beijing, learning to speak foreign languages and wear western clothes.
She also tried her best to straighten her back and raise her chin, but she still couldn't shake off the aura of the nouveau riche.
Especially compared to these so-called noble ladies, they are just a few points behind.
An Qi didn't realize it before, but it wasn't until she stood in front of Princess Qingcheng that she realized how bad she was -
That kind of temperament from the inside out, that kind of innate nobility!
"Bah! You are so noble! Even Da Qing is dead. No matter how noble Princess Qingcheng and the others are, they are also the ones who have perished."
“Isn’t that the Last Emperor also trying his best to fawn over you?”
"Before, I had people send gifts to my father and my brother. No matter how arrogant the princess is, can she be as arrogant as the last emperor?"
An Qi was so stimulated by Gu Qingcheng that she could only comfort herself like this.
Her eyes were also subconsciously looking for traces of the last emperor and empress.
Then, I saw the couple, indeed, surrounding envoys from certain countries or a few generals with heavy troops.
That arrogant and humble look is so funny to look at!
An Qi's inferiority complex, which she developed from Princess Qingcheng, was instantly cured the moment she saw the empress.
Gu Qingcheng:......
This cheap brother of the original owner is really... contradictory!
Self-esteem and low self-esteem, with a hint of "innocence".
He actually got involved with Neon, and he really regarded each other as a good person who was willing to help him.
No wonder a few years later, there would be that humiliating puppet regime.
He may not be completely coerced, but in order to restore the country, he has begun to use any means and does not distinguish between right and wrong.
He himself was indecisive and his wits were dim, and those around him were also indescribable.
Some are the elderly and the young who also cherish the dream of restoring the country.
Some are speculators who just want to get benefits from the emperor.
Some people directly regarded the last emperor as a scapegoat and a cash machine.
Alas, it was clear that the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty also fled with a lot of wealth, and his identity could also become a flag.
Like Gu Qingcheng, he could use money to recruit troops and use his status to increase his influence.
For example, right now, the country is divided among warlords. The two largest forces, the North and the South, want to dominate the world.
In addition to force, they also need a "righteousness".
As for the Last Emperor, he can definitely choose a camp.
Although it cannot allow the other party to "hold the emperor in order to command the princes", it can also give the other party an orthodox identity - all the previous emperors have turned to them, and they are the ones who can truly represent the country!
Of course, this choice still cannot make the emperor "restore his country", but it can stop him from speculating like a rootless duckweed.
But as long as he has the opportunity and manages it well, he can become a prince.
If you really don't want to be inferior to others, you can go back to your hometown.
Dig up the ancestral graves and use those priceless treasures to recruit troops.
It makes no sense that a horse thief in others can occupy a territory, but the former emperor couldn't even grab a piece of territory!
Not to mention, the last emperor had "great honor and righteousness"!
Liaodong is his territory!
...Really, Gu Qingcheng can plan one, two, or three ways for the last emperor just by thinking about it.
It may not be a smooth road, and it may require overcoming obstacles.
But this way we can walk more steadily.
The last emperor was more willing to take shortcuts - pray for the support of others and have people "assist" him in restoring his country!
What's more, the current emperor has not yet thought about restoring the country, but is worried about his own safety.
Even when he went out to socialize, he didn't dare to stray too far from the Neon Assistant.
Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, it didn't matter, he was just a cheap brother anyway.
Whether he is good or bad has nothing to do with him.
Well, you can't set up FLAG easily, no, the slap in the face comes so quickly.
"Qingcheng, what on earth are you doing?"
"Showing one's face, showing no regard for decency!"
"When the party is over, you can come with me."
Just as Gu Qingcheng was thinking about having a good chat with the envoy from Country Y, Deputy Envoy Nihong and Emperor Mo came over.
When the last emperor saw Gu Qingcheng wearing "fancy clothes", his face was filled with gloom.
He lowered his voice and used his identity as emperor and eldest brother to scold him sternly.
Gu Qingcheng rolled his eyes secretly: Tsk, do you think of "Princess Qingcheng" now?
When you escaped from the palace, why didn't you remember that you had a cheap sister?
